The first thing I want to say is that every actor really performed very well, and the camera quality is also superb, but the screenwriter really can’t bear it...
If you change from a traditional male protagonist to a As far as spy war dramas are concerned, the protagonists of this drama should undoubtedly be Xia Jiahe and Jiang Guifen. The two pretend to be husband and wife and have been in love for a long time, such as the previous "Latent". The screenwriter of "Wang Dahua" approached it from a female perspective, and the protagonist was not the highly qualified agent Jiang Guifen, but Wang Dahua, who gradually grew up from a village woman to an agent. Therefore, "supporting the heroine" has almost become the most important center of the plot. point.
It is for this purpose that the screenwriter has to weaken other people's characters. For example, the male protagonist Xia Jiahe's tasks in the play are almost only to send telegrams, fall in love, and then lead a supporting cast to support the female protagonist. He looks smart but is actually a loser. Han Shandong was responsible for delivering the task and convincing Xia Jiahe to hand over the task to Wang Dahua. The agent who had already joined the Communist Party actually asked an ordinary citizen, Wang Dahua, to take risks many times to help him complete his mission. Although Xia Jiahe and Han Shandong have repeatedly emphasized that they are not afraid of sacrifice, what I see is that they shrink behind the scenes. Instead, they push ordinary people such as Wang Erhua and Wang Dahua before joining the party into danger, and do not show their due responsibility.
The character of the heroine is simply amazing. She has a passionate first love who is unwavering no matter how many beauties around her, a husband who obeys her every word since the first love came, and she falls in love with the warm and warm Soviet Union at first sight. agent. Because he can make fish pot pancakes, he can visit the police station and the house of the chamber of commerce president, and approach them effortlessly. There is no need to worry about taking care of the son, there is someone who is willing to be both a nanny and a teacher... It is completely the setting of a modern Mary Sue romance, "I am not beautiful, I am a widow with a child, but I am brave, kind, good at cooking, and my first love Even if my lover leaves me for seven years, he will not fall in love with the beautiful and intelligent second female partner who I spend time with every day. Everyone likes me and treats me well. At the critical moment, I can transform into a 72-hour transformation and blind your eyes." So so many fans of the heroine must have put themselves in the role... Since the heroine has already cheated Mary Sue so much before, it is more realistic that the hero dies in the ending.
As for the Japanese Aoki in the play, in order to show his ambition to conquer people's hearts, the screenwriter made him too benevolent, and sometimes even made people think he was intellectually tough. The villain BOSS, who is obviously a highly intelligent, gentle and profound villain, never doubted Wang Dahua. Seeing Xia Jiahe and Jiang Guifen let them go in the photo studio, it is simply incomprehensible (but the actor's performance is still very cute).
Let’s talk about the love line. I always think that the characters of Xia Jiahe and Wang Dahua are too different. One is a woman from the countryside who cannot read a word, and the other is an agent who was a member of the Communist Youth League when she was in school and later received further education. The mismatch I am talking about is not due to age or status, nor is it because Wang Dahua is a widow with a child, but that the two people are too unequal in terms of ideological level and life experience. Such childhood sweethearts may know each other very well, but they are still more suitable to be friends or even relatives rather than lovers. I have never believed that the combination of Cinderella and the prince will be happy, and I am more optimistic about the combination of Xia Jiahe and Jiang Guifen, which is full of hardships and has equal levels. (Of course, due to the screenwriter's shaping of the characters' emotions, Xia Jiahe's marriage to Jiang Guifen in the play is a complete tragedy and the pain of three people).
By the way, Jiang Guifen. Jiang Guifen is a bit aloof and unruly. An orphan without relatives, she eventually became an agent of the Soviet Union. I wonder if it was because of these experiences that she packaged herself with a cold, arrogant and domineering attitude. In fact, she should also be soft and affectionate at heart, which can be seen when Elena died. Jiang Guifen had few people with whom she could communicate her feelings, and Xia Jiahe was one. However, she had to hide something from him, which added to the pain of being in love but unable to be honest. Besides that, there is Irina. She was almost Jiang Guifen's only friend, but she also left her in the end. Many people felt pity when Wang Dahua's relatives died one after another, and therefore accused Jiang Guifen of taking away Xia Jiahe. But I think Jiang Guifen is equally distressing. Wang Dahua has a son and Xia Jiahe loves and protects her. Jiang Guifen is the one who really has nothing. Later, she finally let go, but had to stay with Xia Jiahe because of her mission. If these three people survive until victory, Xia Jiahe will definitely divorce Jiang Guifen and marry Wang Dahua, so for Jiang Guifen, perhaps sacrificing for the revolution is the best outcome.
Then there are also some details of the plot settings, such as Sanhua discovering that someone is following her and walking from a busy street to an alley; for example, the soap exchanged between Stinky Fish and Erhua, since Stinky Fish can Why put Erhua at risk by bringing soap in? There is also a weird passage leading from the kitchen to Aoki's office... I won't complain about it because it's not a serious spy drama anyway.
In short, it feels like the story of a woman’s struggle in the guise of a spy, with more romance... I can only say that the actors, directors, props and scenery make up for it a lot.
Finally, I really like every actor here. Especially Zhang Bo, Wang Lie, Mu Banlong, Fried Chicken Stick! ! !
