The spy war drama will cause a boom again, and this year there may be a wave of "bottoming out**" The high-profile CCTV drama "Lonely Boat" is another masterpiece of Zhang Songwen after "Hurricane", and the hot search is scheduled to be a hit.
In addition, "Harbin 1944", directed by Zhang Li, the director of "Towards the Republic" and "Ming Dynasty 1566", will also open a "new track" of spy warfare.
In addition to works such as "Night and Dawn" and "The Long Wind and Waves", there are quite a few other high-quality works on the market. But the decline of spy war dramas is actually because the plot is not attractive.
Many netizens suggested that instead of racking their brains to innovate, it is better to learn about the anti-special films in the early days of New China. In that era of scarcity of genre films, the competition for anti-special films was extremely fierce, and several high-quality works were born every year.
Classic anti-special films: revealing the top ten best works of the last century, starting from the 10th place! Let's take a look back at some of the impressive anti-feature films, including classics such as "Visitors on the Iceberg" and "Die Hard", as well as "Black Triangle", "The Mystery of St. Paul's Hospital" and more"Childhood shadows"。
These films not only show the wonderful moments of the anti-special struggle but also embody the wisdom and courage of the people of that era. Next, let's explore the wonderful stories of these ten anti-special films together, starting from the 10th place!
The Mysterious Traveling Companion is not just a fictional story, it is a true portrayal of the real situation in China at that time. In the early days of liberation, the domestic environment was not stable, and the border areas became places where the agents of the Fruit Party frequently carried out.
This special background of the times and the dangerous reality make "Mysterious Traveling Companion" more realistic. However, due to financial constraints, the film crew was unable to move to the distant Yunnan border for filming.
Therefore, the primeval forest in the film was built in the studio of Changchun Film Factory. Although it was under the constraints of the conditions of that era, this scene is enough to confuse the real with the fake, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
"Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City" made Wang Xiaotang famous all over the country, and the image of Xiao Liying, a girl of the Yi nationality, played by her is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At that time, Wang Xiaotang, who was only 21 years old, was electrocuted for the first time, and his pure and refined temperament was unique in the play.
The plot also incorporates the emotional lines of Xiao Liying and Zhu Linsheng, a young man of the Yi nationality, adding a romantic color to the thrilling story.
In this era of "love is everywhere", it is not easy to present such a bold love story in front of the audience. In particular, the duet between Xiao Liying and Zhu Linsheng in "Burmese Osmanthus Blossoms Ten Miles" is filled with a strong atmosphere of romance and opera.
And "Black Triangle" (1977) has become an unforgettable classic with its old lady's creepy eyes and the sensational effect it caused across the country after its release.
Even after more than 40 years of wind and rain, people's memories of it are still vivid.
In the past, anti-special films always felt a little old-fashioned, but "Black Triangle" brought people a sense of excitement that they have never had before. The whole movie is like a horror movie, and the three huge black triangles at the beginning instantly create a tense and terrifying atmosphere.
Especially Ling Yuan, the female spy Yu Huang's actor, her performance has made countless audiences still remember it many years later, and it has become their nightmare.
On a seemingly ordinary summer afternoon, a kind old lady sells popsicles on the street. However, her true identity is that she is a sleeper spy who uses popsicles as murder weapons to kill people.
This plot design is unexpected, making the children feel frightened and uneasy at her cries, and even affects the sales of popsicles. This bold setting of "Black Triangle" breaks the traditional limitations of domestic films and explores new artistic fields.
The sight of a group of ballet-dancing girls strolling along the riverside in swimsuits caused an enthusiastic response from the audience at the time, and at the same time broke down the traditional ideological barriers.
Especially in this group of swimsuit girls, the leader Liu Jia, a 17-year-old sunny girl, has become the most eye-catching scenery in the whole movie. '08's "Yangcheng Dark Whistle" (1957) was adapted from the "No. 1 Case in Guangzhou" that caused a sensation in the 50s.
In 1952, the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau received two secret letters reporting that reactionaries were planning to hijack cargo ships and try to discredit China abroad.
* In just over a dozen days, through overt and covert investigations, the reactionary clique was successfully wiped out. The movie has an in-depth portrayal on this basis, including thrilling scenes such as scouts lurking inside the enemy and female spies pretending to be husband and wife.
1. "Aunt May"The name is fascinating, but her true identity remains a mystery. The plot setting of this spy war element was later imitated by many spy war dramas.
And the charm of this story, in addition to the fascinating plot, lies in the profound portrayal of the characters. For example, Aunt Mei played by Liang Ming is a kind old housekeeper on the surface, but she is actually a scheming female spy.
2.I only heard his name but did not see his person"Aunt May"Her true identity has always been the focus of attention. The design of this spy war plot was later used as a reference by many spy war dramas.
In addition, the excellence of this story lies in the characterization, such as Aunt Mei played by Liang Ming, who is an amiable old housekeeper on the surface, but is actually a hidden female spy.
3. "Aunt May"The name is known to many, but her true identity remains a mystery. The plot setting of this spy war element was later imitated by many spy war dramas.
And the charm of this story, in addition to the fascinating plot, lies in the profound portrayal of the characters, such as Aunt Mei played by Liang Ming, who is a kind old housekeeper on the surface, but in fact is a witty female spy.
4. "Aunt May"The name is full of curiosity, and her true identity has always been a mystery. The plot setting of this spy war element was later borrowed from many spy war dramas.
And the excellence of this story also lies in the characterization, such as Aunt Mei played by Liang Ming, who is a kind old housekeeper on the surface, but is actually a scheming female spy.
The investigator played by Feng Zhe is handsome and chic in a suit, and his image is deeply loved by the audience. Although the TV series of the same name of "Yangcheng Dark Whistle" has a good reputation, it cannot reproduce the influence of the movie back then.
And "The Mystery of St. Paul's Hospital" (1990) is still fresh in the memory of many viewers because of the thrilling scene at the beginning of the movie. It was a rainy night, lightning and thunder, and a female ** in St. Paul's Hospital screamed in fright, and was finally scared to death.
The film contains various horror elements such as the midnight morgue and the ghost in the opposite window, giving the audience a strong psychological impact. For this reason, the movie warns at the beginning that "children are not suitable for **".
The producer of this film is Emei Film Factory, which has the courage to walk in the forefront.
In that era of courage to explore and pursue innovation, Emei Factory created a series of bold and novel genre films. Crime films such as "Death is Near", as well as the co-production "The Sino-Russian Train Robbery", which is based on real events, are all made by Emei Factory.
In addition, works like "The Mystery of St. Paul's Hospital" that incorporate horror elements into anti-special films are still unique and compelling even today.
The film was successfully filmed in just one month, and successfully harvested more than 2 million box office with an investment of 400,000 yuan, becoming a model of anti-special film commercialization attempts. In those days, movies were the most important entertainment for people, so they also created many box office miracles.
And "Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" was one of the highest-grossing films of that period.
A black-and-white retro-style movie, with its deeply rooted story and fascinating plot, broke the inherent impression of "low price = low quality", and achieved a box office of nearly 200 million and 600 million viewers, which is unimaginable even today.
However, before its release, many people were not optimistic about its prospects. Because color film had become mainstream at that time, but this film could only be shot on black and white film because of the scarcity of color film.
However, the black-and-white retro style did not affect the audience's viewing experience, but instead made them more deeply involved in the story. The film uses "gunshots" as an introduction to tell the story of Liu Xiaochen, who lurks inside the enemy, whose identity is suspected and has to try his best to deal with the enemy.
In an open and secret battle full of wit and courage, the duel between the enemy and the enemy is like an incomprehensible infernal affair, which is enjoyable to watch. At the preview screening, the movie "The Guns of the Secret Bureau" received warm applause from everyone present, and the film was finally released without deletion.
And the actress Xiang Mei, who plays the underground party history Xiuying, was discovered by director Chang Yan in the audience by chance when he was watching the movie.
In that era of pursuing "atmospheric beauty", Xiang Mei's elegant and dignified image won the love of countless audiences. Although the film was accused of "acting a little excessive", in general, it is an outstanding representative of anti-special films in the new era.
"Secret Drawings", released in 05, subverted the traditional setting of anti-special films, and set the protagonist as a female investigator. Shi Yun, a seemingly weak but tough character, shows Sherlock Holmes-like sensitivity and decisiveness, which is eye-catching.
In front of the railroad tracks, Shi Yun stepped forward to save people, showing the heroic posture of women, which is admirable. Tian Hua, who plays Shi Yun, was personally selected by the founding general.
Originally, the crew planned to be played by other actresses, but after watching the samples, I felt that the actor's appearance was too international and did not match the setting of the role.
The director recommended Tian Hua, and his simple and calm temperament made *** make a decision immediately. In addition, several villains have also been portrayed very vividly. For example, Shi Wei, who was once widely known for her role as the female warrior "Little White Dove" in "Lin Hai Xueyuan", this time she starred as the female spy No. 23.
With the contrast of his image, Shi Wei successfully showed the two completely different characteristics of everyone's beauty and scheming, which made people remember it vividly. To this day, the picture of Shi Wei playing elegantly in front of the piano is still deeply engraved in the hearts of many audiences.
However, in addition, Shi Wei also has a work "Ten O'clock on National Day" (1956), which makes people feel her unique charm. This work shocked everyone by telling a story about a shocking conspiracy to prepare for the "shelling of Tiananmen Square" on the day of National Day.
Shi Wei in the film, with her excellent performance, successfully conveyed the tension and excitement of the story, and made people feel her talent and charm. Shi Wei's image has both the elegance of everyone's ladies and the coldness of scheming, which makes people feel her charm and admire her acting skills.
And the work "Ten O'clock on National Day" (1956) allows people to see another side of Shi Wei, and also allows us to understand her more deeply. Therefore, Shi Wei has won the love and respect of the audience with his unique image and excellent acting skills, and has become a bright star in the Chinese film industry.
The police followed up on the clues, successfully thwarted the conspiracy of overseas and domestic spies, and avoided a catastrophe. The movie "Ten O'clock on National Day" is based on this real event, although the location and details have been adapted, but the plot highlights the word "risk".
The nerve-wracking ticking time bomb alarm clock, the car that almost fell off a cliff, and the unique plum tattoo on the suspect are all impressive. "Ten O'clock on the National Day" is not only limited to the theme of "anti-special", but also incorporates many romantic and lively life elements, which makes people feel surprised.
Station 51 (1961) is not only a movie, but also a visual feast, which makes people feel the spirit of the Chinese people in the 50s. The actor of this film, Liang Hong, is played by Liang Polo, who has just entered the industry, and his performance is eye-catching, as if he saw the stars of that era.
And the director's intention is even clearer, he hopes that through this film, the audience can truly feel the breath of that era and experience the taste of life.
Liang Polo is a 22-year-old "righteous handsome guy" who is deeply loved by the audience with his thick eyebrows, big eyes and affinity. Although he lacked acting experience, he actively consulted with senior actors such as Sun Daolin and Li Wei, and even went to prison to visit the "Green Gang" gangsters who once dominated Shanghai Beach, learning black dialect and Jianghu style, showing his dedication and love for his acting career.
1.The film strives to create an authentic atmosphere, with the performances of the actors and the historical details carefully restored. For example, the plot of transporting steel pipes under the noses of the Japanese army in the film is a real event during the Anti-Japanese War.
Even General Chen Geng, who has many years of latent experience, was moved by the restoration of the film and thought that it was very close to the situation of the year. 2.When it comes to "undercover anti-special films", "Heroes and Die Hard" is definitely the premier choice.
The story of this movie comes from the true experience of screenwriter Ding Yisan, who once followed the army into the mountains to suppress bandits, and experienced the thrilling and arduous combat life firsthand.
In the film, the actor who plays the investigator Lin Tai is based on Zeng Tai. And the gangster role played by Yu Yang has a distinct image and excellent acting skills, which can not only show the cunning side, but also reveal the vigilance and righteousness of the underground party at critical moments, and was praised by the audience as "acting a bandit superbly".
And the female spy Alan played by Wang Xiaotang is full of charm and melancholy temperament, which is impressive.
Alain and Zengtai's rumba dance is a highlight of the movie. In order to present this exquisite dance, Wang Xiaotang specially found a teacher for training. In movies at that time, female spies were often portrayed as sinister and cunning, such as the female bandit leader in this film.
However, this dance breaks this stereotype and shows a different side of the female spy.
1.The appearance of Alain's image brought a great shock to the audience at that time. Her sacrifice made many viewers deeply sympathize with her, which shows that this character has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
2.The Visitor on the Iceberg (1963) is indescribably classic, known to all ages, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. From the story to the soundtrack, the film leaves the audience with too many unforgettable moments.
For example, the highly sung song "Why Are Flowers So Red".
Although the squad leader in the movie is frozen into an ice sculpture, the identity of the real and fake Gulandam, and Amir's love is fascinating, it is the sentence that really makes people excited"Shoot three flares into the sky and let them illuminate the mountains and rivers of the Motherland"'s classic lines.
Whenever we think back to this movie, our hearts will surge with emotions. However, incredibly, the film was put on hold at one point for a number of reasons.
Director Zhao Xinshui's persistence and dedication have reborn the masterpiece "Visitors on the Iceberg". The film is still one of the most replayed anti-special films. Although there are still many excellent anti-special films that have not been mentioned, such as "Tiger's Den Tracking", "Silent Mountain", "Blue Shield Safe", etc., they all have one thing in common, that is, although they may not be refined enough, they all have a fascinating story.
