From the perspective of character image, the protagonist of "Bright Sword" is undoubtedly Li Yunlong. His military experience, combat stories and combat performance allow us to see a character with Wang Jinshan as the main prototype and at the same time integrating the characteristics of Zhong Wei and others.
Although he is a surrealist and has no words to hide, his image is still vivid, three-dimensional, and full. In particular, his bravery and iron-blooded spirit, as well as his passing on this bright sword spirit to his troops, created a main line and soul for the whole play, which is the backbone of the whole play.
Whether in history or in reality, Zhao Gang is a unique political commissar. He had a high starting point and a high level of education, and he not only excelled in political work, but also in military affairs.
Therefore, although he was born in the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which were dominated by "mud legs", his excellent characteristics made him unique among all the political and industrial generals who were later awarded.
Although most military fans think that Zhao Gang's prototype is Li Zhen, the author believes that on the basis of Li Zhen, the choreographers and directors have deeply optimized and reshaped Zhao Gang's image, making Zhao Gang's image more distinct, and perfectly demonstrating the characteristics of our army's outstanding political cadres.
During the Anti-Japanese War, "Bright Sword" is generally regarded as a divine drama. In the TV series, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei wiped out the Yamazaki Brigade with only close work and throwing 3,600 grenades, and the plot structure was too simple to withstand scrutiny.
At the same time, the plot of their birthday banquet for Japanese officers in Juxian Tower is also too exaggerated to be convincing. During the Liberation War, the jump and turning of the plot were too big, and there were many unreasonable points.
Therefore, although the play has some grafting and superposition in the characters and story, the audience will not feel disobedient as a whole. However, the construction of individual plots is too blunt to be regarded as a divine drama entirely.
Despite this, the spirit of the bright sword and the sense of martial arts advocated by the play are the eternal pursuit of the Chinese nation, and they are also a strong voice of the times called for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the construction of a world-class army.
