When it comes to spy war dramas, Liu Yunlong can't be avoided.
Come to think of it, the reason why spy war dramas are popular with the audience today is really thanks to Liu Yunlong.
As a director and actor, he has always focused on the theme of spy war dramas, and has produced many excellent works. At that time, when "Secret Calculation", which he directed and acted in, was on the air, it was really empty, making spy war dramas really popular all over the country.
Later, the spy war drama "Kite" directed and acted by him was launched, although the plot was deleted, it also caused a sensation. To this day, there are still many viewers who continue to give Amway "Kite" to the people around them, and the more you watch this drama, the higher the rating.
Of course, in addition to the anti-Japanese spy war, there is also an anti-special spy war in spy war dramas, which are also popular with the audience.
In the early years, the masterpieces included "No Regrets Tracking", and in recent years, "Opponents" starring Guo Jingfei and Yan Bingyan have sprung up, as well as "Dawn of the East" starring Zhang Jiayi and Liu Tao are also loved by the audience.
However, although "Thrush", which was launched this year, was menacing and brought Ding Yongdai to take charge, the final effect was really average.
And with this regret, another period anti-special drama "All the Way Forward" is here. According to netizens, this drama is likely to land on CCTV 8 on January 25, taking over the popular "If Running Is My Life" and meeting the audience.
If this drama starts as scheduled, then this year's New Year will be regarded as another New Year's drama, and the Year of the Dragon will definitely be another good start.
Okay, without further ado, I will briefly introduce to you this anti-special drama "All the Way Forward".
While the show has not yet started, let's take a sneak peek!
The story of "All the Way Forward" mainly revolves around the construction process of the "Chengdu-Chongqing Railway".
In June 1950, the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, which attracted much attention, began.
In order to ensure the high-quality completion of the railway, at the groundbreaking ceremony, the head of the regiment, Ma Zutang, handed over this important task to Luo Xiangqian. Luo Xiangqian is the company commander of the vanguard company, and he has a hand in leading soldiers to fight, and his personal willpower and concentration are also higher than others.
After accepting the task, he led the soldiers to build the roadbed, and then explored and studied new technologies such as layered filling and tamping with everyone.
It not only solves the problem of insufficient stability of the railway subgrade, but also reduces the construction time, greatly boosts morale and accelerates the process of railway construction.
In the autumn of 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Luo Xiangqian's regimental headquarters went to the Korean battlefield. The head of the regiment, Matsutang, asked Luo Xiangqian to stay behind to build the railway, and told him to repair the railway.
After Luo Xiangqian received the task, he took the initiative to lead the migrant workers brigade to work day and night to build the Tuojiang Bridge, the largest bridge in the project.
However, Luo Xiangqian's efforts were sabotaged by the spies, and many migrant workers died in the construction process.
In the face of the extremely vicious enemy elements who sabotaged the construction of the project everywhere, Luo Xiangqian did not flinch, took the initiative to face the battle, and vowed to repair the railway and comfort the sacrificed workers.
In the end, the enemy's sabotage did not stop Luo Xiangqian and his workers' determination to build a good railway, and the natural geological disaster did not defeat Luo Xiangqian. He led everyone to face the difficulties, and finally repaired the railway, which was officially opened to traffic on July 1, 1952.
After reading this plot introduction, I think everyone should know what story "All the Way Forward" is about.
On the whole, "All the Way Forward" is a period drama about the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, and the overall story framework basically revolves around this major event.
Although Luo Xiangqian was a soldier, he was the builder of the railway and the commander of the project.
And behind this major event, the background of the era of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea also gives this story a different color.
It is foreseeable that when the war breaks out and the comrades-in-arms rush to the battlefield, Luo Xiangqian's patriotic feelings of wanting to fight with his comrades-in-arms must be a huge attraction.
In addition, I believe you have also seen that "All the Way Forward" is not only a period drama, but also an anti-special drama.
Because, in the plot introduction, when Luo Qianqian was building the railway, he was sabotaged and obstructed by spies. This plot setting has many similarities with the story framework of the hit "Thrush" some time ago.
Both dramas are hostile elements who sabotage our production activities in an attempt to prevent the development of New China. It's just that the enemy of "All the Way Forward" wants to stop us from building the railway.
In "Thrush", it is the enemy who wants to prevent us from conducting submarine research.
It is foreseeable that there will definitely be a contest between our fighters represented by Luo Xiangqian and the enemy elements.
To be honest, looking at the title of "All the Way Forward", I thought this drama was a period drama. However, I never expected that this drama would have an anti-special plot, and it is also an anti-special drama.
This is really what to say, what you want, at the beginning of 2024, everyone will have another spy war drama to watch.
Personally, I think that the anti-special plot in "All the Way Forward" will also be a highlight, and it is worth everyone's attention.
The directors of "All the Way Forward" are Xi Xin and Zhang Jianxiong, and the main actors are Li Jian, Lian Lian, Xu Wenguang, as well as Zhang Duo, Zhao Bo and other 5 powerful actors. Although there are not many of them, several of them are old acquaintances of everyone.
Li Jian is eye-catching, but what I like more is the heroine Lian Lian, and the audience who has been watching "Dajiang Dahe 3" recently must be very familiar with it.
Lian Lian became famous very early, and in the early years, he participated in "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life", and also participated in "Cha Classmate Boy". In the high-scoring suspense drama "Out of Court" in 2022, she also has an excellent performance.
In "Dajiang Dahe 3", Lian Lian plays Wei Chunhong, Lei Dongbao's wife and the owner of the restaurant. is meticulous and sleek, and treats people with a sense of calm and sophisticated, not losing to Lei Dongbao at all.
And this role is shaped by practice, the image is three-dimensional, and down-to-earth, both in appearance and temperament, which are very suitable for the role. Especially at the level of temperament, Wei Chunhong's capable personality is accurately grasped by practice, and his speech and pronunciation are very charming, which is one of the most outstanding characters in the whole play.
This time, Lian Lian participated in "All the Way Forward", I personally look forward to her performance, and hope that she can continue to amaze the audience.
2023 has passed, and for viewers who like spy war dramas, 2023 should be regarded as a year of joy and sorrow.
Why?
Because, throughout last year, to be honest, there were a lot of spy war dramas on the air, and there were all kinds of genres. Actors from various coffee positions also came to show their acting skills. There are many quantities and all kinds of types, and the audience is naturally happy.
Since the beginning of the year Jin Dong, Zhang Zhijian, and Wang Zhiwen starring in "Infernal", spy war dramas have basically been published once a month and have never been stopped. There are "Thin Ice" starring Fu Dalong and Wang Jinsong, as well as "Huanyan" starring Zhang Yi and Liao Fan.
Even, Huang Xiaoming, who has not been involved in the theme of spy war dramas for many years, also came out of the mountain and participated in the spy war drama "Lurker".
But, to be honest, although the number of spy war dramas last year has gone up, the quality is really indescribable.
Infernal", the actors' acting skills are **, there are many reversals, and the suspense rhythm is directly full. However, the logic of the plot is average, and it all depends on the old dramas such as Wang Zhiwen and Zhang Zhijian, and it is a little regrettable in the end.
The same is true for "Thin Ice", Fu Dalong and Wang Jinsong are no problem, but the plot rhythm is too peaceful and there is no texture.
Although the overall quality of "Lurker" is decent, it is still some distance from a high-quality drama.
As for Guan Xiaotong's "Plum Blossoms and Red Hearts", Song Yi's "Beehive", and Liu Xueyi's "Thrush", to be honest, the quality level of these films is almost the same.
This "All the Way Forward" is an anti-special drama of the era, as the first spy war drama in 2024, don't overturn.
Otherwise, I don't know when the next spy war drama will be, don't be short again!
