On the evening of February 26, the TV series "All the Way Forward" premiered in a single episode of Yangba. Judging from the content of the first episode alone, the main plot of this TV series is loose, and there are many unconvincing things in the details of the story, and the performances of the male and female protagonists are relatively routine. "All the Way Forward" also lacks consideration in the specific design of the bridge.
Let's start with the details that aren't convincing enough. For example, at the beginning of this TV series, our army crossed the river and was attacked by the reactionary army. At this juncture, our army used bamboo platoons as bunkers, hiding in the back, and fighting the enemy while advancing. This scene surprised the audience.
Because even on the battlefields of World War II, steel plates were no longer enough to serve as cover. At the end of World War II, the Kuomintang reactionaries had been re-armed by the United States. In the war of liberation, their guns could penetrate steel plates, and this should be no problem. Under this premise, it is really unconvincing to use bamboo platoons as shelters and advance the elimination of the reactionary army.
Bamboo row bunker warfare is simply to make the soldiers a live target for the enemy. In this way of playing, it is better to throw away the bamboo row and crawl forward directly. As soon as "All the Way Forward" came up, such a play was made, which obviously made the audience play. Later, some of the scenes of the protagonists in front of the steel mill, the steel mill pipes that appear as background panels, are also too new, more like modern factories, and lack a basic sense of obsolescence. There are several similar problems in the first episode.
And then talk about the main line. Judging from the plot synopsis of this TV series, its main line is to build a railway. Judging from the content of the first episode of "All the Way Forward", its plot task is also to repair the railway. However, in the first episode, too many scenes were given to others other than to build the railway. That's a bit of a hubble.
For example, the role of the heroine and her fiancé, the role of the male protagonist and the rebels, etc. These scenes are not necessarily related to the theme of building railways. Putting these scenes in, there is quite a bit of indiscriminate filling and delaying the plot time. TV dramas are the art of every second counting, and these contents, which have little to do with the main story, really shouldn't appear.
For another example, in the first episode of this TV series, there are many episodes of meetings. There are a lot of slogans in these meeting sections, and there are very few scenes that are really useful. If this is a news documentary, there should be no problem with shooting it like this, after all, the documentary is responsible for the task of news broadcasting. And this is a TV drama work, and it is a dereliction of duty for the screenwriter to spend a lot of plot time on shouting slogans at meetings.
Then let's talk about the hero and heroine. The male protagonist played by Li Jian, at the script level, is not much different from the previous image of a soldier. This kind of almost coarse state is commonly used in previous film and television dramas. For example, his discriminatory view of the soldiers who came from the uprising was typical of the old man's rudeness. This kind of character-building technique is relatively outdated.
The obsolescence of the characters in the script coincides with the obsolescence of Li Jian's performance. This doesn't seem to be Li Jian's problem either. He just learned from the outdated way of character building, and realized the role according to the traditional way of character performance. Li Jian still has the ability to draw cats according to tigers.
The heroine's practice here is even more confusing. In the first episode, she only had a few simple scenes. Especially in the scene where the male and female protagonists are paralleled, the performance of practice must be problematic and lacks a basic level. The heroine is stunned by a church bomb, and the hero runs outside with her in his arms. In this process, the heroine woke up, and then, she began to call for herself to come down, and bit the male protagonist, and after being carried out, she called her fiancé was still inside.
Why does the heroine bite the male protagonist, this performance level practice is not performed. After practicing here, after shouting two sentences of "let me down", he began to bite, and it seemed that this character was very mindless. In other words, normal people are frightened after they have just encountered a bomb, and when facing rescue, they are not in this way of shouting and biting. In terms of script, there must be a problem with this scene. In terms of practice, through his own performance, he made the character seem mindless.
Even in the first scene of the practice, her facial expression seems to be mismatched with the specific role task. The audience needs to learn about the specific role tasks of the characters in this scene through the performances of the actors. When you practice, you will only laugh, and there will be no emotional performance content. It's a very unsuccessful and very dry way of acting.
Based only on the content that is currently premiering, "All the Way Forward" may not be of high quality.
