How many times have you seen Bright Sword?
In 25, the war drama "Bright Sword" starring Li Youbin, He Zhengjun, Zhang Guangbei, etc. was launched, and it quickly became popular on the big screen, showing the trend of being screened in various TV stations.
The average audience rating of the drama reached 11.42%, with the highest rating of 13.7%. According to incomplete statistics, it has been replayed 3 times in five years.
15 years later, Douban scored 9.4 with over 13, people, exceeding 99.9% of domestic war dramas.
It is such a drama that is still on everyone's lips. In November 22, a TV series that can be said to be "Bright Sword 3" was launched. It is:
The new drama is based on Li Yunlong's heroic stories such as General Wang-Kamiyama, and it is called "Youth Edition".
judging from the creative team, the director of the play was jointly directed by Jin Sha and Yu Bo, and Huang Miao, Jin Ge and Tong Mu jointly wrote the play.
Director Jin Sha has directed dramas such as Dream Building and One Thousand and One Nights, and it seems that he is good at romantic idol dramas. The screenwriter has nothing to do with "Bright Sword" itself, so it looks more like a fan drama.
judging from the starring lineup, Leon plays Wang Yunshan, the head of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, Vengo plays Guo Xunkui, the commander of the 178th Division of Sichuan Army, Lai Yumeng, the nurse Han Yan, and Wang Ruizi, the rich girl Liu Zhi.
In addition, there are Yin Xiaotian, Orfila and other friends.
As a TV series with a backlog of three years, after reading the main creation and introduction, the drama received many bad reviews in Douban before it started broadcasting.
Despite preconceived prejudices, Chenchen took the attitude of seeing is believing and experienced the new drama with her own eyes. After reading it, she just wanted to say-
Can this be called "Bright Sword 3"? The worst TV series in 22 was born!
There is no harm without contrast, but Thunder Warrior is not. It can be said that there is no contrast, which hurts the eyes of every audience.
To say that its most fatal shortcoming is that the war drama has become an idol drama, and it is completely blind to the truth of history, which can be said to be a "crime"!
The story background of the new drama begins with the outbreak of the All-round Anti-Japanese War in 1937. At the beginning of the plot, it is like a five-hair special effects scene of the war in the game, and the special effects fighter is even more like being in a cartoon for children.
In the course of Wang Yunshan's attack on the Japanese-occupied Xifengling, he could only hear a series of tactics, such as "making a diversion to the west and then attacking the west", in the voice-over. However, the picture was basically a monotonous repetition of the Eighth Route Army's charge and the Japanese's shooting resistance. The battle situation was not great, and the lines were assembled. Fighting was like playing house.
After that, when the national army troops were trapped in the Happy City, Guo Xunkui, the division commander, walked in the trench with his straight body during the battle.
At this time, the bullets of the enemy and the enemy are still shooting at each other, but Guo Xunkui is not afraid of being hit at all, and regards the battlefield as a runway, which is more like a "model team with bright swords" standing here for a catwalk.
The protagonist will not get shot if he rushes to the front with a saber, and a fire stick can stab the devil into a free fall.
Among them, it was even surprising that Vengo and the soldiers chatted back-to-back like swordsmen, while the devils who surrounded them stopped shooting and waited until they had finished.
In the play, not only does the protagonist's aura reach its maximum, but what is even more fatal is that Fu Hua Dao has lost the basic restoration of history.
Whether it's Leon, Vengo, or many soldiers, the hair gel in the play is shiny, and the clothes are new like the groom's official;
(How much is a bottle of hair gel? )
The colonel rushed in front with a machine gun, with infinite bullets and grenades to avoid people;
(Look at the soldier behind him, he has a big white tooth! )
In the play, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was crushed, and the Japanese not only spoke Mandarin more fluently than the China people, but also became the scum of the war.
For the presentation of the scene, the Eighth Route Army Field Hospital has taken on a brand-new look, with delicate makeup and delicate makeup, and the nurses' uniforms are shiny white.
The Eighth Route Army's frontline headquarters is spacious and comfortable with complete facilities. Since then, Leon's regimental headquarters has even lived in a mansion, watching the Eighth Route Army sitting on a soft sofa and stepping on a patterned carpet. Are you here for a war or a holiday?
Compared with "Bright Sword", what we see is the soldiers who are dressed in white rags, always dirty during the war, and the poorly equipped command room. The Japanese army not only speaks Japanese from beginning to end, but also has tactics and excellent equipment.
Even if we don't compare "Bright Sword", the five-hair special effects, the outrageous clothing and the war are just like "Thunder Warrior", which is a house play, but it didn't reach the passing line in the anti-Japanese drama.
To say that Liang Jian is loved by so many people, it is largely because of the brilliant performance of Li Yunlong played by Li Youbin.
Compared with the image of a soldier who was always serious and one-sided in many war dramas before, Li Yunlong with "bandit spirit" can be described as a clean stream.
With a hot temper and a fragrant mouth, he is the head of the Eighth Route Army, who Chu Yunfei described as "having a muddy leg".
Among them, Li Youbin, with his excellent acting skills, performed Li Yunlong's grass-roots life, which seemed to have flesh and blood and soul.
So, can the star of the new drama hold such a role?
sorry, I can't hold it.
As for the new drama, since it is a "youth version of Bright Sword", it has made the leading role younger in all directions.
It's fatal to be young. What's fatal is that all the leading actors in the play can't act, and they are extremely exaggerated and superficial, as if watching children learn to act as adults.
In the new drama, Leon plays Wang Yunshan, which can be said to be the "fresh meat version" of Li Yunlong. At the age of 22, he became the head of an independent group.
Although the play wants to portray him as a resourceful and hot-blooded soldier, Leon abruptly plays him as a rebellious teenager.
how to show Wang Yunshan's domineering?
by yelling.
how to show Wang Yunshan's prestige?
by glaring.
When the soldier wanted to sacrifice himself, Leon's eyes were as wide as two bells, and he returned him severely. He didn't see that he was cherishing his subordinates, but he seemed to ask someone who owed money to pay them back quickly.
When the national army came to the door and tried to drive the Eighth Route Army away, Leon was so angry that he beat his chest and danced, as if he could become King Kong in the next second.
Guo Xunkui, played by Vengo, the war is going to the headquarters, he is still drinking coffee too lightly, and he is holding a cigar when he is about to charge-this is the worst time for an officer with a background of studying abroad to be hacked.
It can be said that the output of the protagonist in the play depends entirely on the roar, the development depends entirely on the waves, and he is always playing handsome, and all the members become grumpy.
As a man's play, Bright Sword has not many female roles, but it adds a lot of color to the whole drama.
I believe many people will never forget Li Yunlong's first wife, Yang Xiuqin, a simple country girl.
Xiuqin, who was kidnapped on her wedding night, was threatened by the Japanese army to take her hostage. The phrase "Shoot me" shocked people to tears.
In the end, the contradiction between love and righteousness, and between family and country is displayed fiercely in this plot, which not only enriches the image of Li Yunlong as a soldier, but also makes the audience directly feel the difficulties of being unable to do both in wartime.
But in War of Thunder, the emotional development between Leon and Lai Yumeng was turned into a romantic idol drama, and they were very affected from their first acquaintance to their sufferings.
When Leon entered Lecheng and was welcomed by the masses, he suddenly found a beautiful woman in the vast sea of people, so he kept staring at her all the time, and even made eyes at her when she was almost there.
Oh, my God, the head of the Eighth Route Army should be so brazen about pick up hot chicks. Pull him out and punish him!
I have to vomit a sentence here. Under Leon's interpretation, the feeling of heart-warming simply turned into trying to suppress a smile.
In the face of Leon's "charm" at any time, the female students who are being watched seem to see idols and become fans one by one.
I'm afraid this is not a tribute to the soldiers, but a fan meeting.
After that, Lai Yumeng, as an intern nurse, was placed in the middle of Leon's team, and the two men started the stage of warming up their feelings like a narrow road to life that they didn't like each other.
One by one, the nurse interns come to the battlefield to save lives in skirts and shoes with heels. They can't lift boxes or walk. When they see snakes, they will scream and do bad things. They are the big ladies who come to experience life.
what should I do if the nurse's elder sister can't lift things or run fast?
Then let Brother Bing walk on his back!
It's a magical operation. I didn't know you were trying to rob the commoners.
when I see this, I think many people will think of the anti-Japanese drama of hiding thunder in their crotch and tearing devils with their hands.
However, the anti-Japanese drama is at least anti-Japanese, but in War of Thunder, Leon is the center, which makes his relationship with Vengo as an enemy and friend like a gang feud, and his love with Lai Yumeng develops like a cliche idol drama.
Taking war dramas as idol dramas, euphemistically called "Youth Hot Blood Edition", has lost the minimum respect for the history of the Anti-Japanese War.
Today, we are still using the expression pack of "Bright Sword", and we are still saying the lines. I can't help but think of Li Yunlong's classic famous saying:
The anti-Japanese war idol drama without soul is over!
