The spy war dramas in 2023 are like "Adou who can't be helped", each of which is star-studded and menacing, but the plot is hopelessly rotten.
thought that "Thin Ice", "Stalker" and "Hive" were already floor tiles, but I didn't expect "Thrush" at the end of the year to give the audience another slap in the face.
Actors don't look like they come to shoot spy wars at all, and the burden of idols is heavier than the other.
The male protagonist has oily hair and powdery face, and in just four episodes, he has changed 5 sets of clothes and 3 hairstyles, and his eyebrows are painted like singing.
The heroine has an Internet celebrity face, and she can't squeeze out a decent expression throughout the whole process, and the dubbing lines don't have any emotional ups and downs, which is similar to a robot.
The plot is even more indescribable, adding too many trivial life dramas, nonsense, and countless details of various goofs, with neither a sense of age nor suspense.
With all due respect, the spy war drama released by Yang Ma recently is really disappointing. Instead of these indiscriminate works, it is better to replay those classics. Especially the following eight buried masterpieces, those who have seen them must all be old **.
no.1 "Snow Wolf".
Starring: Xin Baiqing, Sowers, Liu Wenzhi
The play tells the story of Liu Dongliang, a doctor who returned from studying abroad in the 30s of the 20th century, lurking in a Japanese military hospital under the pseudonym "Snow Wolf" and sticking to the justice in his heart in the icy and snowy black soil.
The director of "Before Dawn", the screenwriter of "Cliff", the solid script and the superb acting skills of the actors, the showdown between the pros and the villains can be described as sparks. It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time, and I didn't catch up with the ** era of spy war dramas, otherwise it would definitely be a fire.
no.2, "In the Silence".
Starring: Hu Jun, Zhao Mouxin, Zuo Xiaoqing
The play tells the story of Ma Dong, a national security investigator, who fights wits and courage with the enemy hidden in the shadows in order to protect the smooth progress of nuclear submarine research.
is also based on anti-speciality, and a lot of life dramas have also been added, but this drama has no lack of thrilling suspense in the storytelling. The actors' performances are also quite outstanding, especially the villain Chen Qiqian, which raises the ceiling of the whole play.
no.3 "The Age of Storms".
Starring: Zhang Duo, Li Yatian, Xu Baihui
The play tells the story of our ** Liang Tong who has been lurking in the enemy's high-level for a long time, not forgetting his original intention when the situation is changing, and risking his life many times to transmit information and turn the tide of the war.
The structure is complete, the ideas are clear, and the interlocking plot always maintains a high density of tension. What's even more commendable is that the director did not make the characters face-painted, so that each character has flesh and blood.
no.4 "** General".
Starring: Huang Jue, Zu Feng
The play cuts from the perspective of the protagonist Han Liancheng, gathers national hatred and family hatred into a huge whirlpool, and reproduces a great legendary story on the hidden front.
The two leading actors have dedicated their impeccable acting skills, Huang Jue's smile is really tasteful, and he is even more handsome in military uniforms. Zu Feng seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact, he has a lot of hidden things, and the rivalry is addictive.
no.5 "Proof of Identity".
Starring: Zhang Hanyu, Luo Haiqiong, Tian Yu
The play tells the story of our ** Qu Haoming who has been incognito for 30 years, and in order to find his true identity, he embarked on a lonely and tortuous road to prove his faith.
Qu Haoming, played by Zhang Hanyu, went from a high-spirited officer to a prisoner full of grievances, and then to a traitor with infamy, and finally was tortured by the years to become an old man in his seventies. The time span is large and the image transformation is comparable to Zheng Yaoxian played by Liu Yunlong. The most awe-inspiring thing is that this drama is 8 years earlier than "Kite"!
no.6 "Fatherhood".
Starring: Chen Jianbin , Yu Feihong
The play tells the story of 1948, when special investigator Yu Beiping investigated a ** case in Qingcheng, he accidentally fell into a human trap about family, friendship, and career.
The narrative is smooth, the rhythm is silky, the suspense is one after another, and before you can calm down, the next key foreshadowing is already on the horizon. Yu Feihong perfectly created the image of a snake beauty, and her eyes that are not angry and arrogant are really amazing.
no.7 "Borrowed Gun".
Starring: Zhang Jiayi, Luo Haiqiong
The play tells the story of our **Xiong Kuohai in a harsh environment full of dangers and executed the assassination of the Japanese ** Keiji Kato.
"Cliff" starring Zhang Jiayi is regarded as a classic by the audience, but this earlier "Borrowed Gun" is little known. The whole drama has a strong breath of life, and the struggle of faith in real life hits people's hearts. The group portrait drama is portrayed very well, each character has a distinct personality, and the ending is sad.
no.8 "Eighteen Years of the Ground Camp 2".
Starring: Du Chun, Wang Pengkai, Asru
The play tells the story of our ** Jiang Bo, who cooperated with He Kun, You Jiali and other military commanders to intercept Japanese intelligence through the test of life and death.
Many viewers don't know that there is a second part, the story is more majestic, the plot is compact and fascinating, and it also cleverly integrates historical facts. Du Chun was really heroic back then, with all the best looks and acting skills, and I hope to see the third part in my lifetime.
