Although "Merit" is presented in the form of a unit drama, it can be seen that the creative team did not adopt the cliché narrative technique of "biography", but used rich characters and story lines to It focuses on the highlight moments of eight meritorious figures' achievements.
I believe many viewers have seen the trailer of "Meritors" and already know that the drama is based on the colorful chapters of the lives of eight meritorious figures and is completed through the re-creations of eight well-known directors. So, who is the director who takes the lead, and what kind of excitement does the opening unit of "Meritory" bring to the audience? Let’s take a look at the decryption by Brother:
The name of the first unit of the TV series "Meritorious Service" is "Li Yannian, a Literary and Military Man", which tells the story of the fighting hero Li Yannian and his comrades who spent three days and two nights on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. battle story. Because the characters have prototypes, how to present "Li Yannian, Literary and Martial Arts" in a way that is both realistic, down-to-earth, and contagious has become a difficult problem that the creative team needs to overcome.
Mao Weining, the director of the TV series "Li Yannian", believes that the audience is very familiar with it. His excellent works such as "Oath to Silence", "Ten Sends to the Red Army", and "Ordinary World" have given us Left a deep impression. In order to give the plot a sense of the times, Mao Weining specially visited Li Yannian. The purpose was to restore a true and full character image and achieve the unity of visibility and positive energy.
In my impression, Director Mao Weining is good at filming hard-core war dramas, and he also intersperses some vivid and watchable dramas into the dramas, and gives each character a distinctive personality. In the first two episodes of "Meritorious Service", we are delighted to see that Director Mao Weining's successful creative ideas in the past have been continued and carried forward. Heroes represented by Li Yannian and his comrades, the Third Battalion Commander, Han Dongnian, Xiao Anton, and Luo Houcai, are bloody on the battlefield. The fighting scene really made the audience break through their defenses!
I think the actor who plays the third battalion commander is a surprise in the play. His rich facial expressions indicate that he is an actor with rich acting experience. But the audience may not be familiar with the actor Shao Wen. Remember that this actor who graduated from theater has appeared in popular dramas such as "Black Ice" and "Beijing Smoke and Clouds". Do you still remember him? I think the reason why I was able to star in "Meritorious" this time is because Shao Wen had a pleasant collaboration with director Mao Weining when he was filming the TV series "My Children, My Home"!
In addition to the third battalion commander, the little Anton played by Sun Xikun, who made his debut as a child actor, is also a character that makes the audience cry. Although he is a deserter, he is also a child who is only 16 years old. Therefore, through the interpretation of this character's growth process, Li Yannian's meticulousness in ideological and political work can be highlighted. I think it was precisely because of instructor Li Yannian's speech that the conscience deep in little Anton's heart was awakened, and he became lofty and ambitious and became a hero.
I have seen the heroic deeds of fighting hero Li Yannian on the news before. I remember being very moved when I heard him say, "I just want to be a good soldier who can win wars all my life." Now that I have seen Wang Lei's wonderful interpretation again in "The Meritorious Service", my admiration for Li Yannian has been further deepened.
In order to get close to the characters, Wang Lei worked hard in all aspects. Through careful interpretation of details such as eyes, postures, lines, etc., he presented the character's charm and trustworthy characteristics very well, not only His acting skills were recognized by the audience, and he also made a famous line.
I saw netizens commenting like this: Mao Weining directed well and Wang Lei acted well. Not only is the setting of the plot's succession and transition extremely clever, but the alternation of the anxiety of war and the highlight moments of the characters also makes the characters more interesting. Very contagious. It can be seen that Director Mao Weining's creative intention was well interpreted by Wang Lei. He presented to the audience Li Yannian, who is brave, resolute, trustworthy, and a meritorious figure with courage, strategy and righteousness.
After reading this audience’s evaluation, we must admit that the level of appreciation among netizens this year is indeed getting higher and higher. Wang Lei did have many wonderful performances in the play. What impressed the audience deeply was his speech when dealing with the incident of deserter Xiao Anton. This wonderful mobilization not only boosted the morale of the soldiers, but many of the lines in the play also aroused outrage from netizens.
Some viewers will shed tears because "the motherland will be grateful to us and the people will be grateful to us", while others will be moved because "the only way to live a peaceful and happy life is to win the war." But the most burning thing is: Our motherland is extremely powerful and cannot be bullied! Because this line was very passionate and aroused the patriotism and pride of many netizens, they reposted it on Weibo one after another. In addition, someone made a video of this scene and spread it on the Internet. Inadvertently, Wang Lei's line unexpectedly became popular!
