In the recent hit drama, the most vigorous one that makes people chase is probably the spy drama "The Forwarder" starring Zhang Luyi Nie Yuan, there is no emotional drama of dragging mud and water, chasing more than a dozen episodes in one breath, the rhythm is compact and hidden suspense, both want to jump to the end to see if Tang Xiansheng, played by Nie Yuan, will finally abandon the dark and cast the light, and is not willing to end so quickly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > Pei Ruhai</h1>
As a spy drama, the most rare thing about "ForwardEr" is that although the decent protagonist is witty and brave enough to be outrageous, the villains are also intelligent online.
And the most hated villain in the play is none other than the great traitor Pei Ruhai.
Playing Pei Ruhai is Huo Qing, who once played Lu Su in "Three Kingdoms", and his acting skills are too good, and he has brought to life the image of the traitor who is quiet on the surface and is actually greedy for life and afraid of death, which is even more hateful.
In fact, in that era of blood and fire, in the face of the severe torture of the enemy, I can understand that some people will not be able to resist, after all, everyone is a flesh and blood body that will hurt and die, and it is better to die than to die a hundred times, just like Ma Tianmu said after the successful assassination of Lu Youxiang, at that time, in addition to wanting to kill Lu Youxiang, there was also an idea that it was better to die at that time than to fall into the hands of the enemy.
But it is also a rebellion, and some traitors are more hateful than others.
For example, the traitor who took Tang Xiansheng to the church to arrest Wu Chongxin in the first two episodes, he was nervous and guilty in his heart, he had been delaying time at first, almost choking himself to death when eating bread, and finally there was no way to bite his teeth and point to the past.
Such a traitor, though hateful, does not make people itch their teeth with hatred.
But Pei Ruhai was not, after his defection, he changed his position almost without any psychological obstacles, and he also had a mind to climb up within the new group, and even invited him to teach classes, eager to sell all his talents to the "new owner".
Moreover, he will also take the initiative to ask to go to prison to identify his former comrades, and he is eager to eliminate all comrades.
On the one hand, as Chen Lie said before his death, Pei Ruhai himself had defected, so he was eager to drag all the others into the water, and it was best for everyone to defect, so that he would not be able to show him, not only he would be like a street rat, but...
The other comrades were unyielding, showing his filth and shamelessness like a mirror, how could this not make him even more crazy?
On the other hand, he was originally a person who did not hesitate to climb up, his personal ambitions were very inflated, he must have felt that he would hypnotize and disguise all kinds of disguises, it could be said that he was the most powerful spy, he deserved better treatment in a higher position, how could a person like himself die casually?
However, the end of the traitor is that everyone will look down on you, even if you are doing your best to fight for the new group, the new group is just using you, how can you really and sincerely value you? After all, in order to save his life, if he can be a traitor once, he can be a second traitor, and Lü Bu in history has been scolded for many years as a family slave with three surnames.
Of course, film and television works are fictional, but people who are familiar with history, when watching "The Forerunner", still see familiar shadows in some characters, such as Pei Ruhai, many settings, are very similar to Gu Shunzhang in history.
Pei Ruhai in the play, who originally had a very high position in the party and knew all the intelligence stations of the CCP in Shanghai, Ma Tianmu was able to lurk smoothly because he had just returned from France and only Wu Chongxin knew his identity.
And Gu Shunzhang is the highest-ranking and most dangerous traitor in the history of the CCP.
He was originally a Shanghainese, from childhood on the beach, but also joined the Green Gang, very scheming, in the early years he went to the Soviet Union to study, has a good skill, can make-up, magic, hypnosis, can shoot with both hands, in short, is very good.
He is most famous for his magic tricks, and before he was caught, he had performed many magic tricks in Shanghai under a pseudonym, and he was quite famous.
When watching "The Forerunner", someone in the barrage always asks, since Pei Ruhai is so powerful, how can he still be arrested?
There is no detailed explanation in the play, but the historical Gu Shunzhang... It is precisely because the skill is too big, so he got carried away, after completing a mission in Wuhan to stay and play, and even used the pseudonym he had used in Shanghai, performed magic there, was recognized by a spy who knew him and was arrested...
After being arrested, he defected on the same day, but instead of telling all the important information he knew, he wanted to use it as a capital to ask for credit and rewards, and the result was predictable, and by the time he said it, it was too late.
After the rebellion, he was also training secret agents, and even personally compiled various teaching materials and held special agent training courses...
In the end, because it was too inflated, it swayed on both sides of the central unified army and was killed by the "new owner".
There is a question on Zhihu: Who in history died of pretense?
One of the high praise answers is Gu Shunzhang...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" > Fan Yiting</h1>
In addition to Pei Ruhai, Fan Yiting, the inspector general of the French Concession in the play, must have guessed the prototype, that is, Jin Rong, who was called the "Three Tycoons of Shanghai" with Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin.
Jin Rong was once the leader of the Green Gang, and later worked as a patrol in the French Concession, and has always been the only Chinese inspector general.
Inspector Fan is the same as Jin Jinrong in this setting, but his obsession with his deceased wife is purely a fiction of film and television works, in order to marry the famous Peking Opera singer Lu Lanchun, he abandoned his wife, but the feng shui took turns, Lu Lanchun fell in love with someone else within a few years of his marriage, and divorced him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="74" > Lu Youxiang</h1>
In addition, in the play, Ma Tianmu and Tang Xiansheng hate each other to the bone, and they are bent on killing Lu Youxiang, who avenges his Northern Expedition comrades, and the prototype should be taken from Lu Yongxiang and Sun Chuanfang.
Lu Yongxiang may be very unfamiliar to everyone, but it can be understood by seeing that the name is so close to Lu Youxiang.
He was a representative of the Anhui warlords, who served as an envoy to the Songhu Protectorate, but was defeated by Sun Chuanfang and Qi Xieyuan and fled Shanghai.
Sun Chuanfang is more familiar to everyone, and his name has appeared in the play...
Historically, Sun Chuanfang was eventually killed by Shi Jianfang, a heroine who avenged her father, and after Shi Jianfang killed Sun Chuanfang in public with a pistol, she did not hurry and loudly announced her name and the purpose of the assassination, which then caused a national sensation, and all walks of life appealed for her to intercede, and finally she was released by amnesty.
In "The Forerunner", Jiang Yunqing, played by Guo Xiaoting, is to avenge the death of Lu Youxiang's father, get a pistol from his friend's hand, and shoot at Lu Youxiang in public, but unfortunately Lu Youxiang was prepared earlier and was not shot, and then Ma Tianmu picked up the pistol again, and also shot at Lu Youxiang in public, and after the assassination was successful, he was not in a hurry to tie his hands and capture it.
In the play, Ma Tianmu was finally released, the fundamental reason was his careful layout, and Jiang Yunqing and his sister ran for him outside and appealed for him on behalf of all walks of life, which was also a very important factor.
When writing the script, the screenwriter will definitely go through the history to collect information and look for inspiration, the prototype may not be limited to a certain character, and it will inevitably be more plump after artistic processing, such as the male protagonist Ma Tianmu, played by Zhang Luyi, who is circling under many forces, and there is also the shadow of the five-fold spy Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu is a legendary figure that many spy drama screenwriters will refer to.
Today, when we chase the drama, we know that all this is just a fictional film and television drama, and we will still be affected by the protagonist's life and death again and again, and we can imagine how nervous the martyrs really risked their lives to complete the mission, but they still did not stop, so there is now a "forerunner" who makes us awe-inspired!
