Wang Lei has always been a top good actor in my mind.
In particular, the rural-themed TV series "Ordinary World" starring him and Yuan Hong is an eternal classic in my mind.
And this time, Wang Lei once again cooperated with Mao Weining, the director of "Ordinary World", on the TV series "Meritorious Service", to be honest, once shot, everyone was amazed.
Everyone knows that "Ordinary World" co-produced by Mao Weining and Wang Lei is a classic, but I did not expect that they would turn their heads to make war films, and they could also shoot so delicately and with such texture.
In particular, combining this "Meritorious Service" and "Chosin Lake", you can instantly see that the first 6 episodes of this "Meritorious Service" are actually above the shooting level of "Chosin Lake".
So in the first six episodes of "Meritorious Service", did I say such an exaggeration? Listen to me slowly!
1, blockbuster visual sense!
The TV series "Meritorious Service" is actually similar to the previously broadcast "Ideal Shines on China", which is based on the true stories of great people as the model of the unit drama.
But one thing is different, "Ideal Shines on China" is an episode of character stories, the content is short, often the story has not yet unfolded, it is over.
However, "Meritorious Service" is different, there are very few characters in the script, only the life stories of 8 recipients of the Order of the Republic.
From the battle hero Li Yannian, to the scientist Yu Min, and finally to Yuan Longping's grandfather.
There are not many characters, but the stories of individual characters are magnificent.
As the first unit of the TV series, director Mao Weining's "Li Yannian who Can Write and Fight" did indeed give the audience a sense of blockbuster vision as soon as it began.
Slaughtered korean battlefield, sneaking volunteer soldiers.
The smell of gun smoke and the tension of the battlefield were all explained clearly by Mao Weining in a few short shots.
What is even more absolute is that When Mao Weining portrayed the image of Li Yannian, who can "be able to write and be able to use martial arts", he really used the rhythm of a movie blockbuster.
For example, when presenting the characteristics of Nengwen, director Mao Weining used that there were soldiers deserting before the battle and preparing to escape.
As an instructor, Li Yannian did not directly shoot the recruits to rectify discipline, but turned this crisis into a turning point, and even took this opportunity to put "Why did we come to the Korean battlefield?" "Who are we fighting for?" ”
These two things explain clearly.
This is part of Li Yannian Nengwen.
Part of Nengwu is that his superiors suspected the loyalty of Li Yannian's warriors in order to clear the suspicions of his own men.
Li Yannian personally led the team to the battlefield to carry out the operation of hunting and killing secret agents.
Seriously, in the past war movies, there has never been such a brave and resourceful character, and there has never been such a plot that can only appear in Hollywood blockbusters.
Wen can inspire people; Wu, can take the enemy's first level in the army, where is a TV series, it is a standard movie blockbuster!
2, the details of the war are portrayed more deeply than "Chosin Lake"!
As mentioned earlier, this "Meritorious Service" is still a unit drama, but the difference is that this TV series is reserved for each character for a long enough time.
For example, the role of Li Yannian, played by Wang Lei, the director spent 6 episodes to portray this character.
Because it is long enough, so a lot of battle details, so many war details, can be perfectly portrayed.
For example, these few battle details really made me admire the theme of this unit, "Li Yannian who can write and fight".
One is when the US military is blocking the fire of our army.
All the company commanders said it was impossible to pass through the U.S. army's fire coverage area, and it was impossible to rush over and occupy the high ground.
However, Li Yannian did not believe in this evil, and he personally came to the coverage area of the US army, under his careful observation, under his repeated tests.
He not only calculated the law of artillery coverage in the US army, but also calculated which landing points were easy to dodge shells and which landing points were easy to rush over.
And it is this practical spirit of his, it is his will to fight.
It was only when he finally led the company to rush to the high ground, and finally let his company firmly nail the high ground.
It can be said that the portrayal of the details of this war is better than the portrayal of "Chosin Lake", which is real enough and wise, which is the art of modern warfare.
Of course, what is even better is Li Yannian's performance in the command process of the offensive and defensive battles of the position.
In the first round of positional attack and defense, the enemy sent snipers to snipe Li Yannian, fortunately, other soldiers blocked it, and Li Yannian picked up a life.
As an excellent commander, Li Yannian was not afraid or instigated when he encountered a sniper.
Instead, he immediately thought that 3 sharpshooters were quickly drawn from his own company, and he immediately sniped at the enemy army, and his orders were more commanding.
Shoot out the opposing commander, as well as the machine gunner, and all the valuable targets.
Learning in battle and applying it is the charm of a good commander.
The second round of position defense was even more interesting, and Li Yannian knew that he did not have enough manpower, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the position and hid in the anti-slope area that the enemy could not see.
As for the other side, the men he sent out happened to report to the artillery group, and with the support of the artillery group's firepower, they instantly blew up the American troops occupying their positions to ashes.
At the right time, Li Yannian led a very small number of soldiers to rush out to encircle the US troops, and to be honest, this kind of command line of thinking really made me shoot the case.
Of course, what amazed me the most was li Yannian's will to fight, never shouting retreat, never shouting retreat.
As long as there is a soldier, he will be nailed to the position.
With courage, wisdom, and a strong will to fight, this is the first unit story presented by Mao Weining at the beginning of "Meritorious Service".
It's also one of my favorite unit stories.
Seriously, the portrayal of the character of Li Yannian alone has surpassed all the characters in "Chosin Lake".
3, the image of Wang Lei, catching people's eyes!
This time, the actors selected by "Meritorious Service" are all powerful factions.
For example, Li Yannian, played by Wang Lei, makes people shine.
Before, I had only seen the peasant image of Sun Shao'an, played by Wang Lei, tough enough and tough enough.
But this time, the image of Li Yannian that Wang Lei got, the image of a standard Chinese soldier and an instructor who loves soldiers and guards soldiers, really jumped on the paper as soon as he appeared.
In particular, when the superiors ordered an investigation of the liberation soldiers under Li Yannian's command, Li Yannian explicitly promised his superiors to investigate them.
But as soon as he turned his head, he thought out the countermeasures, how to clear the suspicions of his subordinates, and he could give an explanation to his superiors.
That is, he personally led the team and led them to the front line to hunt and kill the spies.
From this one detail, it can indeed be seen that he is a standard "calf protector" commander.
The second detail is the personality charm presented by Wang Lei.
From the enlightenment of "Little Anton" to the control of the personalities of the various characters in the company, it can be said that Li Yannian, played by Wang Lei, is clear and well understood.
It can be said that the reason why Li Yannian can be flexible and mobile on the battlefield and where to fight is really to rely on the charm of his personality and really rely on the charm of his role.
Especially with Wang Lei's wonderful interpretation, I was impressed by this role.
So that's why I think that the "Li Yannian who can write and fight" at the beginning of this "Meritorious Service" can be compared with "Chosin Lake".
Not only is the battle scene well filmed, but also the rhythm of the plot, and the portrayal of the characters, which are perfect.
Especially coupled with the interpretation of Wang Lei, an actor, it really gives people a sense of blockbuster vision.
I don't know if anyone has seen this "Meritorious Service", welcome to talk to me about this drama!
