Recently, another TV series with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War is scheduled to be broadcast, which is this ———
"Dog Left: Run".
This drama is a remake of the classic Anti-Japanese War comedy movie "I Am Not Wang Mao", the original movie was released in 2014, and the Douban score is as high as 80 points, excellent reputation.
In the cast of this drama, except for Qin Hailu, who is an acting school, everyone else is a variety comedian, and the director is actor Wang Xinjun, who is also Qin Hailu's husband, who has no previous directing experience, such a team really makes the audience pinch cold sweat.
With an inexperienced director and a group of variety shows with little acting experience, the probability of this drama being ugly is still quite high.
However, this drama was broadcast for a day, and after the first 4 episodes, the current reputation is quite good.
I finished chasing 4 episodes overnight, and I think the advantages and disadvantages of this show are more obvious.
Let's start with the pros.
The plot has laughter and tears, and the characters are full
At the beginning of the plot, the male protagonist Gou Yu (played by Jiang Long) studied in Shaolin Temple for 10 years and returned to his godfather's and godmother's house.
Gou Yu went home this time, not only because he had nowhere to go, but also because he had always liked his godfather's daughter Xing'er (played by Wang He).
But there are more people who like Xing'er, such as Yang San (played by Jiang Yi), the director of the county's military recruitment, Yang San has always wanted to marry Xing'er, but the godfather Wang Daju has always disagreed.
So Yang San thought of a way, this conscription, Guide County will recruit ten soldiers, Yang San deliberately wrote Wang Daju's only son Wang Mao on the list, in order to force Wang Daju to marry his daughter to himself.
As a result, Yang San's plan did not succeed, and the people from the conscription department directly took the list away, and Wang Mao's matter of becoming a soldier was suddenly confirmed.
This can make Wang Daju and his wife worried, Wang Mao is the only son in the family, and there are still problems with intelligence, isn't this going to the battlefield to die?
Gou Yu saw that his godfather and godmother were so worried, and he heard that he could still get money to be a soldier, and he happened to need money to build a house and ask to marry Xing'er, so he volunteered to replace Wang Mao to be a soldier.
After that, Gou Yu replaced Wang Mao to join the army, and he also saw the cruelty of the battlefield and fled from the battlefield.
But the money for being a soldier plus the death pension is still not enough to build a big tile house to marry an apricot, and the dog has the idea of going to be a soldier again to make money, and he has embarked on an extraordinary life road.
Overall, the content of the first four episodes is very good, and the plot is not conventional.
Although it is a TV series with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, it does not blindly exaggerate the cruelty of the war, but focuses on the change of the fate of ordinary people by the war, which is very good.
And there are a lot of laughs in the play.
For example, the godfather king asked Gou Yu what he had learned in Shaolin Temple for ten years, and Gou Yu was ashamed to say that he had picked up water for ten years;
Unexpectedly, when Gou Yu was aggrieved and said that he wanted to learn kung fu but no one taught him, he slapped a hole in the table with one palm, which calmed everyone present, and even Gou Yu himself was startled.
The dog looked at the situation, and immediately pretended to make luck, and his simple appearance showed a strange energy, which was very joyful.
And when the Japanese devils entered the city, the Japanese officer fell off his horse and was caught by the dog's legs, but this shape is too beautiful for people to look at directly.
And many of the lines in the play are very comedic.
As soon as Gou Yu came home, the godmother asked Gou Yu, do you see if Wang Mao has a snack eye? The dog replied seriously, "It's grown a lot!"
Combined with Wang Mao's stupid appearance, the contrast is quite good.
There are a lot of laughs and a lot of tears.
For example, the godmother couldn't bear to let the dog go to the battlefield to die, but there was no better way, so she cried and told the dog to come back alive.
And the most commendable thing is that the screenwriter did not portray some of the characters in the play as simple bad guys, but highlighted the complexity of human nature.
For example, Yang San, the love rival of the dog, although he indirectly caused the dog to go to the battlefield, and the dog died, he had fewer competitors. But when he heard the news that the dog was killed in battle, he still didn't feel good in his heart.
The companion wanted to embezzle the dog's remaining pension, but was scolded by Yang San, and finally Yang San sent the pension back completely.
There is also the godfather king of the dog leftover, who is usually very bad at the dog leftover, and he is even more dissatisfied with the dog leftover when he learns that the dog leftover is a soldier to make money just to marry his daughter.
But after Gou Yu escaped from the battlefield, Wang Daju still gave the money earned by Gou Yu as a soldier to his wife to Gou Yu, and there was also an unbearable warmth in his indifference.
This kind of characterization is quite clever, after all, human nature is complex and multifaceted, and there are not so many black and white.
The acting skills of the protagonist are remarkable, and the original lines of all the members appear on the scene, and the texture is good
The acting skills of several leading actors in the play are quite good.
The most amazing is the actress Qin Hailu, who has a high degree of completion of several major scenes.
For example, before she sent Gou Yu to be a soldier, she gave her heirloom bracelet to Gou Yu, tears couldn't stop flowing, and told Gou Yu that he must come back alive.
After Yang San's stepmother came to propose, Qin Hailu showed the pungent side of rural women, first Yin and Yang Yang San is now a big official;
Seeing that the other party still didn't get on the road, he scolded and sold miserably accusing Yang San and her of being unkind, making the other party lose face;
took advantage of the other party's shame to let the other party marry his daughter Xiaocui to his son Wang Mao, the whole process was done in one go, it was really enjoyable to watch, and the strength of the actress was really good!
Jiang Long's acting skills belong to opening low and going high, and the acting skills cannot be seen in the previous scenes, but the emotional changes on the battlefield are in place.
The dog leftover, who went to the battlefield for the first time, was attacked by enemy artillery fire, and was first afraid;
Later, he saw that the brothers had suffered heavy casualties, and their anger soared, and they were about to kill the Japanese devils;
After hitting, he was happy again;
After the position was occupied by the Japanese army, Gou Yu pretended to be dead and escaped, looking at the corpses all over the ground, he was shocked and at a loss;
And when the matter of the dog remaining as a deserter was found and was about to be shot, in despair, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were full of tears.
Overall, Jiang Long's acting skills have improved a lot this time.
The acting skills of the supporting actors are also in place, there is no very crotch pulling at present, and they are all original lines on the scene, live radio, and their skills are good.
It can be seen that there are still talents in the field of comedy!
And the few war scenes in the play are well shot, real and tragic.
Summary: Although there are many advantages of this drama, there are also disadvantages, such as the accents of the characters in the play, some people speak authentic Henan dialect, and some people speak Mandarin, and the accents are quite inconsistent. Some of the sets in the play are also too new, and the sense of age is not very strong.
However, as an anti-Japanese war comedy, the plot is good, the overall texture and rhythm are still okay, and there is a desire for the audience to chase down, which is also an unexpected joy!
