On the evening of December 12, the spy war drama "Thrush" starring Peng Xiaoran, Wang Liu Xueyi, etc. premiered two episodes on the CCTV TV Drama Channel. The play is directed by the famous director Zeng Xiaoxin, which tells the story of the patriotic expert Ji Danyang (played by Liu Xueyi) who returned to China and was blocked by the enemy during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and started a thrilling spy war with the female ** Pang Hongmei (played by Peng Xiaoran). It is reported that the play is based on real historical events, Ji Danyang's prototype is my country's famous physicist Li Zhengdao, and Pang Hongmei's prototype is a mysterious female **.
The first two episodes of "Thrush" made the eyes of fans shine and is known as an amazing spy war drama. The plot starts tightly, the main line is clear, and the relationship between the pros and cons is clear at a glance, without procrastination and chattering explanations. The plot conflict of the first episode is strong, with an unhurried narrative style and clever jamming. Especially at the third stuck point, the scene where the female protagonist takes the male protagonist through the port is elongated at the critical moment, which increases the tension. The ingenuity of the screenwriter is reflected in the handling of critical moments, which is different from the tradition of film and television dramas, generally speaking, film and television dramas will use **, close-up, flashback and other techniques at critical moments to highlight the psychological changes and emotional conflicts of the characters, but the screenwriter of "Thrush" chose the opposite way, that is, not to perform, let the audience imagine for themselves, which not only maintains the calmness and composure of the spy war drama, but also increases the audience's sense of participation and substitution.
However, the plot of the second episode is a bit disappointing. The plot starts crisply, and the quality fails to catch the first episode. The villain's power is lost, the audience knows the identities of at least two villains, and the tension is missing. The plot lacks momentum and momentum, and it doesn't seem tense enough. Moreover, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is also a little worrying, and the second episode has the meaning of eyebrows, I don't know if it will deviate from the theme of the spy war drama. In addition, the makeup style is also a little colorful, and the sense of the times is not strong, emphasizing the beauty of the male and female protagonists, and some sacrificing the sense of realism.
For the villain in the play, some netizens blindly guessed that the biggest villain is the father of the flower girl, who may be in the enemy's disguise. This speculation has aroused opposition from many people, some say that such a reversal is too far-fetched, and some say that it will ruin the cute image of the character. Of course, this is just the speculation of netizens, and the real plot depends on the subsequent development. Some netizens expressed concern about the relationship between the male and female protagonists, thinking that the relationship between them developed too fast, which did not conform to the style of spy war dramas, nor did it conform to the background of the Anti-Japanese War period, and hoped that they could maintain professionalism and distance, and not let love affect the task.
For the acting skills in the play, netizens have different evaluations. Some people think that the actor Liu Xueyi's performance is stable, and the performance of the heroine Peng Xiaoran is acceptable, but there are actors with better acting skills. Some people think that Peng Xiaoran's performance level is passable, and Liu Xueyi's performance has also improved, and the cooperation between the two is very tacit. Some people also said that acting skills are not the most important, the most important thing is the plot and atmosphere, as long as the audience can be immersed in the world of spy warfare, it is a success.
Overall, the first two episodes of "Thrush" left a deep impression on the audience, especially the amazing first episode, which makes people look forward to the follow-up plot. If you can maintain the narrative rhythm of the first episode, it may become a masterpiece of spy war dramas in 2023. Of course, it also depends on the control of the screenwriter and director, so as not to let the plot deviate or collapse. "Thrush" is a drama based on real historical events, and it is also a drama that pays tribute to the heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance, and it is hoped that it can convey the correct values and historical outlook, so that the audience can be educated and inspired in entertainment.
