In 2023, spy war dramas such as "Thin Ice", "Infernal", "Stalker" and "Hive" will be broadcast one after another.
But none of the dramas really gained high ratings and a good reputation, which is really disappointing.
At present, another spy war drama "Thrush" has officially launched, on CCTV, and there are powerful factions and old drama bones in charge, and at the same time, some "explorations" have been made in the background of the times.
It is no longer limited to the period of the Anti-Japanese War, but chooses the anti-special stage of the fifties and sixties as the background of the times.
Based on this, many viewers have expectations for this dramaHowever, the feedback received after the show's premiere was disappointing.
Not only was the plot criticized as an idol drama dressed in spy warfare, but the heroine was also ridiculed for her poor face.
The audience left messages saying that plastic surgery should not come to the spy war drama.
As a spy war drama, the rigor and logic of the plot are crucial, however,The drama "Thrush" has many loopholes and irrationalities at the beginning.
First of all, Ji Danyang, a returned expert who plays an important role, is too simplistic in his train pick-up scene design.
The lack of adequate investigation of the surrounding environment has given enemy agents the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and even carry out successful assassination operations.
Such a plot arrangement is obviously not in line with the rigorous style of spy war dramas, and it also makes people worry about the safety of the characters.
Secondly, when the enemy agents opened fire, the crowd reacted too slowly and did not take any evasive action.
And the chief's decision to protect the evacuation of experts also seems to have been considered for too long.
In addition, the heroine of the play, Pang Hongmei, also seemed too thin when dealing with the incident at the railway station.
She went alone to investigate the enemy agentsEven after the enemy escapes, the camera is focused on her.
It stands to reason that there should be cooperation in carrying out this kind of task, and there are hints in the previous play.
But today's show is only Pang Hongmei, which is also a little incomprehensible.
In addition, there is a scene where the plot is even more outrageous, in order to investigate the situation, when Pang Hongmei went out to investigate, the helpless male protagonist didn't think about how to get out of the predicament, but chatted with Pang Hongmei.
At a glance, this is paving the way for the progress of the relationship between the two, without considering the rationality of the plot at all.
This drama expresses personal heroism and cool and handsome style everywhere.
This is not consistent with the real historical background of that era and the rigorous style of spy war dramas, so it is no wonder that the audience complained.
In addition, the design of the scene is not fitting enough.
The background of the era set in this play is not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and everything in the country during that period was in its infancy, but the scenes in the play are not like it at all.
The design and construction of many venues make people feel unreal, and it is easy for people to play when watching dramas.
The drama "Thrush", originally many viewers came for the powerful and old drama bonesHowever, he was disappointed because of the heroine Peng Xiaoran's "silicone face".
In the play, the heroine played by Peng Xiaoran is shiny white, but she has lost her sense of reality and naturalness, as well as the characteristics that are consistent with the sense of age of spy war dramas.
The fit of the characters is a necessary element for a spy war drama to reach the passing lineThe mistake of one element has a very big impact on a drama.
Peng Xiaoran does not stick to the character, which makes more and more viewers come out to complain, and various negative comments are also emerging.
In addition, the makeup design of the actors is not satisfactory, and even a little outrageous.
For the genre of spy war dramas, makeup is actually not easy to do well, so this is also the hardest hit area of the audience's complaints.
In recent years, with the changes in the environment and atmosphere, the problem of makeup detaching from historical facts and reality has become more serious.
In this series of problems, the biggest controversy is that the makeup of most spy war dramas is too exquisite, and even directly out of the background of the timesThe drama "Thrush" obviously has this problem as well.
As soon as the heroine appeared, the makeup made people feel uncomfortable, and the costumes and hairstyles were too modern, which did not match the background of the era in the play.
The heroine Pang Hongmei played by Peng Xiaoran is a public security officer who acts decisively and shows enough aura when confronting the enemy.
It's a pity that despite the proper character setting, there are some outrageous things in terms of makeup.
Every time Pang Hongmei appears, it can be clearly seen that she is well-dressed, and the dress is barely acceptable, but when she looks at her style again, people can't sit still.
Dressed in tights, he was so fine that he drew eyelinerOn some occasions, there are even exaggerated flaming red lips or a pinkish lip gloss.
In that era, women's dress should be relatively conservative and restrained, and Pang Hongmei's makeup was too prominent, which was somewhat incompatible with the character setting and plot.
And it was originally a decent character, but it also looked a little frivolous under such a dress.
In addition, some viewers pointed out that Peng Xiaoran used too much force during the performance, and the performance traces were very heavy, which made people play.
For example, when Pang Hongmei reported for the first time, as a rare female officer, she needed to show some restraint and overwhelm.
But when it comes to dealing with the details, her performance seems overly exaggerated and stilted.
And when she mistakenly thought that the silver needle that Bai Minghan used for Ji Danyang's throat was, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
The performance at that time can be described as "disaster", with exaggerated manners and eyes like brass bells, which is really scary.
In general, the drama "Thrush" has been controversial because of the makeup and performance problems of the heroine Peng Xiaoran.
As a female officer of the Public Security Bureau, Pang Hongmei should be bold and courageous, but Peng Xiaoran's performance is a little unsatisfactory.
It's not just the drama "Thrush".Many works on the themes of spy wars, eras, and anti-Japanese wars have lost their texture because of the actors' plastic faces.
For example, Zhao Yihuan in "Plum Blossoms and Red Hearts", the former campus goddess, decided to undergo plastic surgery.
As a result, a "snake spirit face" that completely lost its personal characteristics appeared in the play.
Her awl face, pointed narrow nose, swollen pouting lips and large European-style double eyelids make her facial features look not much different from those of Internet celebrities.
And this kind of plastic surgery face will look very awkward no matter how you do it, and the sense of falsehood is obviousWhen the audience watches the drama, they will naturally not be able to get a good viewing experience.
and Chen Xiaojun in "Thin Ice", she has also been discussed many times because of her poor facial condition, and her silicone face gives her a sense of Internet celebrity.
In fact, directors can choose some more down-to-earth actors instead of plastic surgery.
Not only in spy war dramas, but also when the anti-Japanese war drama ** has plastic surgery, the perception is even more uncomfortable.
For example, Zhou Muyin in "Fake Hero", even if she wears relatively rustic makeup, she still doesn't have any sense of grounding.
Her expression is becoming more and more exaggerated, and it has become common for her facial features to fly around, and some viewers ridiculed whether she wanted to scare the enemy to death with such a face.
and Zhou Yang in "Jedi Gun King", her "awl face" is not only suitable for fighting devils, but also estimated to be used to plow the ground.
And her makeup is also very exaggerated, not only is the foundation heavy, but even the eyeliner is painted, who would have thought that this is a female character in the Anti-Japanese War drama, which is really dramatic.
Although in recent years, the makeup of spy wars, anti-Japanese wars and other dramas has been criticized,However, we have also created a successful image before, and the relevant personnel are not afraid to learn from Xi with an open mind.
For example, Zuo Lan played by Shen Aojun in "Latent", her makeup is light, her hairstyle is simple, and her military uniform is very sassy.
Although the makeup is not exquisite enough, the overall image is not a beautyBut the audience watched it with relish and had no sense of drama.
In addition, Tian Yu in "Bright Sword" also created a very successful image, which impressed many audiences.
As an actress, it is understandable to want to show beauty in front of the camera.
But we must not forget that as an actor, everything must serve the role, and we must be good at pretending to be beautiful and ugly, all of which are subject to the play.
Looking back on the history of films, spy war dramas have actually produced many excellent works, such as "Latent", "Before Dawn", "Secret Calculation", "The Verge", "Kite", "The Pretender" and so on.
It's a pity that the current spy war drama market is a little sluggishAlthough there are still works that appear one after another, it is difficult to be recognized by the audience in terms of word-of-mouth.
Such a situation is really heart-wrenching, but as long as you summarize it carefully, you can understand the crux of the problem, not that the shooting is bad, but that it is difficult to use the word "heart".
If you want to shoot this type of drama well, you must first fully understand the background of the times and control all kinds of details.
and then strengthen it logically, but unfortunately most of the current production team is too suspendedIf you can't show enough sincerity, the work will naturally not be "fine".
You know, it's not easy to come up with a high-quality product, if you don't want to work hard in the early stage, the result will definitely not be automatically better, and the audience also has their own scale, which is not something that can be fooled casually.
After all, spy war dramas still have the background of the times, and blindly taking things for granted will naturally not be able to gain the audience's recognition, and the choice of actors and the design of makeup cannot be too detached, otherwise, making a bad film is not only a waste of resources, but also disrespectful to history.
I hope that the relevant creators can understand this truth as soon as possible and give back to the audience with sincere works, and the audience will definitely give enthusiastic feedback at that time.
So, have you watched "Thrush" and how do you feel, welcome to post in the comment area.
