It is a war of resistance against Japanese aggression directed by Sang Hua and starring Du Chun and Wang Pengkai, which premiered on August 1, 2009 in Chinese mainland. The play is the second in the "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp" trilogy.
Taking Shanghai during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression as the main historical background, the drama tells the story of Jiang Bo, an underground worker who lurked inside the Kuomintang army during the War of Resistance Against Japan, with his firm faith, super wisdom and amazing courage to collect and send a large amount of military intelligence for the party and actively promote the formation of the anti-Japanese national united front.
Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp is the first part of the Enemy Camp trilogy, which was filmed in early 2008. It shows the tense and deadly contest between Jiang Bo and He Kun, a Kuomintang enemy worker, and in this part, it mainly tells the thrilling spy war story of underground workers represented by Jiang Bo and the Kuomintang agents who both unite and struggle to jointly resist the Japanese aggressors.
Jiang Bo, played by Du Chun, continued to lurk, broke into the high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang, gained the trust of the division commander Xuan Ziqi, and became a high-ranking Kuomintang official step by step. And he and his rival, He Kun, a Kuomintang military commander, became comrades who fought together. Although they had their own beliefs, in the face of national contradictions, they finally joined forces to resist Japan. Du Chun, who plays Jiang Bo in the play, said that the ubiquitous "wisdom fight" is a test for the actor's acting skills. Du Chun wants to show more composure and show something in his eyes. Du Chun said about the understanding of the character: "This drama is different from any role he has created in the past, he plays a soldier for the first time, Jiang Bo has the roughness of a soldier, and also has the wit of the small boss in "Soldier Station 51".
Because of the special background of hiding the enemy camp for 18 years, Jiang Bo has been living in extremely depressed emotions, and he always goes against his heart to do various things. For the sake of faith, from personal life and death to family feelings are all "sacrificed", it is a kind of torture that touches the soul, and even the strongest person will be at the critical point of mental collapse. Du Chun, who was still very young at the time, did his best to play a revolutionary worker with heavy responsibilities. During the shooting, there was indeed a lot of pressure on my back.
Jiang Bo and He Kun jointly faced the joint struggle of the Japanese bandits, but the mutual defense, mutual use, and mutual struggle between these Kuomintang and Communists, as well as the enmity and resentment that arose from them, not only constituted the beauty and excitement of the TV drama story, but also epitomized the interesting history of the success and rupture of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. In terms of the setting of espionage warfare, "Tiger's Bold Ambition" includes many plots, such as intercepting and sabotaging the "Takafune Talks" between the Kuomintang capitulation faction and the Japanese aggressors, the bone scraping operation that struck at the Japanese special Inoue organs, the assassination of the traitor Wang Pifu, and the bombing of the Japanese airfield.
The drama is perfectly presented with a movie-like picture with a compact plot of american drama style, a large-span real-life high-definition picture, a Hollywood-style shocking scene, and a dark battle between enemies and agents. "Tiger Courage Ambition" has a high level of espionage, a large plot density, and rich character emotions, which is more tense, more exciting and better-looking than the first "Eighteen Years of enemy camps"! This drama currently has a rating of 7.6 points on Douban, which is a spy drama that is very worth watching.
