In 2009, the wind was born. The structure of the secret room, the dark and tense atmosphere, and the stirring emotions make this film a rare milestone in the domestic spy war film. However, in the past 12 years, there have been few spy war movies with a double harvest at the box office. There are still excellent works in the field of drama, but the field of film seems to have been "broken" for twelve years.

Until director Zhang Yimou put the first spy film on the internet, all the acting skills were amazing, the rhythm was tense, the script was solid, the emotion was moving and the idea was lofty. "Above the Cliff" is not only the highest-rated movie on May Day, but also a high-energy main melody blockbuster that can be ranked in the first echelon in recent years. Whether it is box office or word of mouth, the performance is very remarkable.

When The Wind was released, it played the slogan of "China's first spy war masterpiece" and tried to "make new wine in old bottles" in a brand-new narrative way. At the beginning of the film, the social background and several protagonists of the story were explained with fast and smooth shots. After that, the scene of the movie moved to Qiuzhuang, a closed space far away from the urban area, surrounded by gloomy desolation. If an accident happens, no one can escape.

Conflicts in movie stories are very concentrated. When all the characters step into the closed building, they enter the "secret room game" of "Who is the old ghost". The characters in the film are complex and profound, with strong visibility. Although there is no battlefield picture in The Wind, it exposes the more cruel side of war in another way. Just like a long shot with special effects at the beginning of the movie, several bombers flew through the fog and left a broken mountain and river. The cruelty of war is manifested in the same bloody spy war. The film extends from the cruelty of spy war to the cruelty of human nature and the ruthlessness of war.

The movie "Wind" describes that many important members of Wang Puppet Government were assassinated in 1942. The spy director (Wang) was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. Luckily, she caught the female assassin. After the failure of torture, she used a mysterious method that no one could stand, and made the female assassin confess that there was an underground agent in the headquarters, code-named "old ghost"

Then Wang Tianxiang and Takeda (Huang Xiaoming), director of the Japanese Secret Service, released the news and set a trap to seduce the "old ghost". The "old ghost" fell into the trap, which led to Bai Xiaonian, Jin Huoshao, and "Qiuzhuang" trapped in the headquarters. In order to find out the "old ghost" Wang Tianxiang, the final result was unexpected.

Completely different from the creative principles of "three unifications" and "three highlights" strictly followed by the model operas, the film version of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward" makes the image of a generation of hero Yang Zirong different from the traditional hero image, and gets rid of the completely deified and serious aspect in the model operas. Besides showing Yang Zirong's experienced reconnaissance ability and brave wit, he also showed his humor, cheerfulness and even a little bit.

However, Leng Si regrets that the other four spy films, Autumn, East Wind Rain, The Listener and Dark War, are all starring popular first-line stars, but there are many loopholes in the plot, the actors' interpretation is not in place, and their reputation is average, so it is difficult to compare with Wind and Taking the Tiger Mountain Abroad.
