The spy war drama "Thrush" has been very popular recently.
This drama is directed by a famous director, brings together a group of powerful actors, and is broadcast in the eight sets of China's **TV stations**, and the ratings have soared, reaching a maximum of 32%, which can be said to be very successful.
Despite its acclaim, the TV series has been criticized by a wide range of viewers"The worst spy war drama in history", and even triggered a call from some viewers to call for it to be taken off the shelves.
Why did "The Thrush" receive such a different review, and what is the reason?
Actors interpret their roles through makeup.
Thrush still hasn't reached the level that makes a TV series more brilliant in terms of makeup.
It's easy for viewers to realize that the makeup of the characters in the show doesn't match their historical context, which gives a sense of dissonance.
Her eye makeup is particularly eye-catching in her makeup, especially the female characters who are one of the main characters.
Some viewers felt that the makeup of the heroine, Peng Xiaoran, was too prominent to the eye contour, including slender eyeliner and dark eyeshadow, which was far from the setting of the era.
The character's face has been criticized for being too smooth and flat, without any wrinkles or other skin blemishes.
Peng Xiaoran's clothing design is not only out of place with the people around her, but also in other ways.
The close-fitting clothing and cinched waist she wore were designed to accentuate her proportions, however, in the last fifty years, this garment may not have become popular in everyday life.
Some viewers criticized the male characters for their excessive makeup.
In some scenes, we can see not only the thick eyebrows and red lip gloss of the male protagonist Liu Xueyi, but also the eyeliner he painted.
Despite the busy image in some episodes, this does not change the impression that its overall makeup gives and makes it look more elaborately groomed than the colleagues around it.
Although film art can be innovated and breakthroughs, while respecting historical authenticity, it should also strive to be close to the expression of real life.
Only when this is achieved can you engage your audience more effectively and win their favor.
Performers can't resonate.
The recent hit TV series "Thrush" has caused a wide range of word-of-mouth responses.
One of the main factors is the acting skills of the actors.
Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, their performance level will directly determine the quality and viewing effect of the whole story.
The actress is the most eye-catching, and her image design and performance methods have aroused questions from the majority of netizens.
Peng Xiaoran's performance has been criticized by many as too exaggerated and deliberate, lacking the display of sincere emotions, resulting in the character appearing dull and boring.
In the key episode, Peng Xiaoran fails to convey the tension and fear that it should be through her demeanor and expressions.
Liu Xueyi's male protagonist image is thin, and the audience also pointed out that his performance style does not match the character's characteristics.
His performance in the play is considered by many to be too exaggerated, not showing the reason and depth it should be, but giving people a sense of farce.
Please take a closer look at the role of the city police chief played by Kong Lin.
Although Kong Lin herself is an experienced veteran actor, she did not succeed in showing the authoritative image she deserves in the play.
Her hairstyle is too conservative, giving the overall impression of being more like a kind aunt than an iron-fisted sheriff.
The audience was confused by her expression and attitude when dealing with crisis events, and felt that she lacked a calm and decisive image.
What is the reason why these actors do not perform well in such important episodes?
Perhaps it is because they do not fully understand and grasp their responsibilities.
In order to successfully convey emotions and thoughts, a great actor must delve into the character's background and personality traits.
The plot of The Thrush has been criticized.
"Thrush" is set in China in the fifties of the last century, and tells the story of the efforts made by a group of scientific researchers to defend ***.
The audience was generally shocked by the handling of the plot in the play.
The identity of the actor Ji Danyang is particularly important, but when he confronts the enemy, he does not have enough manpower to protect him.
He had already threatened and obstructed him when he was in contact with the relevant authorities in Hong Kong, and this situation had existed from the very beginning.
The audience has difficulty understanding why a police officer was not sent to seriously protect the actor before his identity was revealed, in case of possible accidents.
What is even more puzzling is that when the male protagonist returned to Chinese mainland, he found that the leader of the instrument factory who received him did not know anything about his identity.
In the end, the other party did not investigate at the welcome ceremony, and did not continue to track the male protagonist's enemy, which led to the male protagonist finally falling into a trap.
The audience was incredulous about this inefficiency and lack of attention to secrecy.
Pang Hongmei's performance surprised the audience even more.
As the personal protection personnel of the male protagonist, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the male protagonist throughout the process.
However, when encountering someone who is suspected of being an enemy, she prefers to immediately pursue and arrest him, leaving the male protagonist alone in place.
His behavior is a serious violation of his duties, and it also greatly increases the risk for the male protagonist.
The female protagonist failed to keep the secret of the male protagonist's identity well.
The second female introduced the identity of the male protagonist to the people around her loudly on the bustling street, and directly revealed his secret.
Shouldn't the personnel who protect him be more vigilant against the enemies who may be disguised among strangers?After all, it is possible for them to hide between us.
The lack of vigilance and self-protection of the male protagonist himself is even more incredible.
He acted alone many times, accepting food from strangers and ignoring his own safety without any scruples.
He was frequently injured, but Pang Hongmei, who worked with him, was unscathed, and this is where his predicament lies.
This spy war drama "Thrush" has a lot of holes in the plot, and compared with the previous TV series of the same type, it must learn lessons and provide a better viewing experience.
It is hoped that the producer can pay attention to it in the future script creation, improve the existing shortcomings, and bring more excellent works to the audience.
"Thrush" is also about to come to an end, and we can only wait a little longer for the follow-up ratings and word-of-mouth performance.
We can also look forward to another spy war drama "When the Stars Shine", which was officially announced some time ago, which is very attractive just from the trailer.
Looking forward to the arrival of "When the Stars Shine".
When the Stars Shine is a historical film about secret intelligence work during the Anti-Japanese War.
Xiang Yuansheng is the protagonist of this story, and his story takes place during World War II.
Born into a prominent family, Xiang Yuansheng has always dreamed of becoming an outstanding navigator. However, his experience in Shanghai changed the course of his life, allowing him to find his inner faith and decide to join a secret intelligence work led by the Communist Party.
The film's script is one of its highlights.
Pu Wei and Huang Chen have co-written TV series, and they have co-written many successful film scripts over the past few years, including the hit series "Hidden and Great."
Once again, their talent and creativity are on display in this collaboration, adding a unique and compelling storyline to When the Stars Shine.
In the past few years, Li Xian has been recognized many times for his outstanding performances in various awards, such as his role as Guo Deyou in the web series "River God" is a very successful case.
In "Sadness Flows Into a River" and "Qingping Le", the heroine Ren Min's outstanding performance has won the love and support of many fans.
This filming also invited Wang Zixuan, Wang Maolei, Song Fangyuan and Jiang Yi and other powerful actors to participate, and the tacit cooperation between them added a richer color to the story.
This historical masterpiece is very outstanding in terms of both the excellent production team and the cast full of strength and charm, and I believe it will bring a visual feast to the audience. Let's look forward to this wonderful film together!
Thrush, a high-profile spy war drama, is not only facing huge attention, but also all kinds of difficulties.
Although it has achieved high ratings, the word-of-mouth has not been satisfactory.
We should seriously think about this issue, the performance of high-quality film and television dramas in the market, and think about how we should treat it.
In terms of choosing the right actors and mastering the rhythm of the storyline, we should also pay special attention to any type of film and television drama.
This is not only a key point for audience satisfaction, but also an important factor in ensuring the longevity of the work.
