Many people should have heard about it. A national drama dark horse quietly appeared last night.
Premiere, just one episode. But, in the first half of the episode, it exploded. When domestic war films are put into theaters, they are not at all chilly.
The second half of the episode, laughing cry, is simply a "genius drag king and his wronged brothers".
"Red Sea Action" screenwriter + Xu Jizhou, sure enough, the artist is bold. Domestic military drama, I also saw someone dare to play like this for the first time.
Is the audience buying it? I really buy it.
At the beginning of the premiere, Oriental and Zhejiang Satellite TV started ratings of 0.3 and 0.2 respectively, and after the first episode was broadcast, the two stations rose to 0.64 and 0.5 respectively, and finally the Oriental Satellite TV Cool Cloud rating was 0.53, and the Zhejiang Satellite TV Cool Cloud rating was 0.40, occupying the top two of satellite TV, a total of breaking one.
Ratings dark horse trend, appropriate. The satellite TV drama after "Heart Residence" is popular, and there is a spectrum. Since the beginning of this year, the momentum of Oriental Satellite TV has gone all the way up, and the ratings have stabilized again.
Looking at the comments, Douban netizens who have always had high standards and strict requirements for domestic military dramas actually gave four stars and five stars on the screen.
There are exaggerations, there are praises and amusing, and there are complaints that an episode is not enough to watch.
Word of mouth dark horse trend, out.
As a fan of military dramas and action dramas, I was so excited to watch the film that I wanted to slap myself.
Recall, how long ago was the last hardcore domestic military drama hit? Its surprise is like a depth charge bomb.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yang, who "returned to the army", shot a pair of Wang bombs in April.
It makes you feel even more emotional: there is finally a decent strong action type military drama.
1, hot blood: the first half of the episode of this action scene, directly put the theater line is not a little chilling
Wow starts at the first second.
If you don't say that this is a military drama, just look at the beginning, say that it is an action blockbuster like "Mekong Operation" and "Red Sea Operation".
The scale of the scene, although it is not as good as the hundreds of millions of cinema films. But the mind under the scene is not weak.
Mission: Special Forces raid southeast Asian drug dealers' lair and rescue hostages.
After this setting, the whole opening is very genre film, with goals (rescuing hostages, defusing crises), opponents (drug dealers with amazing weapons and equipment), and various action scenes.
That is, the opening of a very genre film.
The excitement of the action scenes, first of all, lies in the rare shooting of the tactical process of modern operations of special forces.
The first step is to sneak in and save people.
A shot surfaced underwater, quickly dragging the audience into the battle.
The camera zoomed in and our snipers aimed at the target. The tactic is obvious: sweep away the target at any time.
The male protagonist played by Yang Yang floats up, takes a deep breath, holds his breath, and confirms the rescued person from the bottom of the water.
Combatants, respectively, approaching the rescue targets.
Sweat, the river soaked clothes, snipers, commandos, each in place, the commander played by Gao Xin issued orders on the spot, one by one to confirm the action steps: Huya No. 4 target confirmation, Huya No. 2 target confirmation, Huya No. 3 target confirmation, Huya No. 5 target confirmation.
Huya No. 1, target confirmation!
It's time to act.
Shot, lightning could not cover their ears, the team members quietly emerged from the water, and in less than half a second, the special operators opened fire at the same time.
Between breaths, snipers shoot from a distance and hit.
Close range shooting, hits. Cross cover, like a tiger swooping, clean and neat.
Look at the time, 40 seconds, dry drone reconnaissance, peripheral patrol personnel all swept away, special team members, continue to advance.
The male protagonist took a position to open the way and entered the detention room. First search for a mechanism bomb on the hostage, and the rear personnel quickly cover the door.
With the hostages against the code, "clear the identification code" "the first battle with me, use me will win" .
Right, cut the rope with a knife, save the hostages, and prepare to withdraw.
God? Don't be too happy, just at this time, the drone signal was interfered with, and the situation is unknown.
Episodes not only let you substitute the perspective of action, but also let you substitute for the ups and downs of the mentality.
In the blink of an eye. Outside the door, gunfire was loud, and dozens of drug dealers with live ammunition surrounded them from all sides, instantly surrounding the hut.
A person who looked like a drug lord smiled triumphantly.
It seems that the action was leaked, and the other party had already prepared to come and invite jun into the urn.
The result?
The second step is to outsmart and break through.
But the other side's strong fire suppression, our side did not have the opportunity to look up and fight back, it seems, it is difficult to fly with wings, how to break?
Don't forget what the male protagonist's name is, Yan Baoyue.
Only to see that the male protagonist is in a hurry, he can't walk by land, he can't fly out of his wings, and there are waterways.
Raise the axe and chop.
A way of life was created: all the way to break the game, two special operators, from the siege of the waterway, take the hostages, go first.
Along the way, the drug dealer raised his bazooka and wanted to bomb. The sniper on the periphery would give him a chance, and the gun fell in his hand, and the bazooka fell in response.
However, a new crisis arose, and a gas canister in the house was hit by a shotgun and an explosion was imminent.
It was the male protagonist again, who raised his gun and fired at the wooden door, opening an opening, withdrawing, withdrawing, withdrawing!
Behind him, the gas canister exploded, just in time to form a huge wave of air, forming a cover for the retreat.
Our team members, and the battle and retreat, the male protagonist again operated a barrel of oil, threw it at the drug dealer, aimed, shot, and blew him dizzy.
Drug dealers, one after another, fell into the water, our side, change the ammunition, move, calmly evacuate.
The leader of the drug dealer, who was still proud just now, his face changed.
This breakout is unassailable.
From teamwork to individual play. From lying down to lightning strikes, to gritting teeth... Definitely let the audience feel the suffocation of the bullets around them in the Champions League, but also feel the style of my special combatants.
Handsome, too handsome.
These few minutes have completely made me forget that this is a TV series, and the picture texture is not lost to the theater. All the action details are all in full swing to create an immersive audiovisual experience.
Not only is it burning, but every frame is carefully polished, perfectly presenting modern rescue and breakthrough warfare.
However, although my special combatants are well-planned, tenacious, tactically perfect, and have extremely outstanding personal ability. But the crisis has not lifted.
The third step begins: Jedi, Strike Back.
Drug dealers have no wisdom from beginning to end, they not only have weapons and equipment as a small army, but also know how to set traps to lure the enemy deeper, and skillfully deploy troops to grasp the key points.
In the face of the breakthrough of the special operators, the mechanized support was unequivocal, and another bazooka injured one of our special combatants.
At the critical moment, the male protagonist shouted - "Number four, go." ”
A flying swoop, using a human body as a bridge, builds a retreating pontoon bridge for teammates.
Then move quickly, attack the hut, flash around, kill the opposite person all the way, and empty the hut.
But just as the whole crew withdrew into a hut, the other side was extremely vicious, and several rockets struck at the same time.
The hut was bombed and all the members were injured.
But the male protagonist quickly woke up from the vertigo, still stayed awake, and kept shooting with consciousness, the sniper rifle bullets ran out, and the pistol shot.
Come, polish your eyes. See what is called the extreme operation of special operators. That's it!
However, at this moment, a stray bullet flew in, hitting the man's body armor, and Yan Puyue fell into the water.
At this time, the pictures of the memories of the training of the troops flashed one by one, and the former teammates came to mind.
Male protagonist, is it life, is it death? As soon as the camera pans, flashbacks begin. Returned to Yan Baoyue's career as a recruit.
A look at the phone, but 15 minutes.
I believe that whether you are a fan of military dramas or not, watching this paragraph, you will really be burned, nervous, and stimulated.
It is no exaggeration to say that this opening is a sample for domestic contemporary military dramas, at least, I think so.
As soon as the director opened the story of this group of special combatants saving hostages, placed in the mature genre narrative, told the story in a very genre-based way, the lens language, rhythm control, scene grasp, are very old, the whole gun battle stimulated the adrenaline rush, the scene scheduling, the soundtrack are in place, the atmosphere is tense and explosive, the lens aesthetic is also very clean and clean, there is no waste mirror.
The most important thing is that the actions and battles of contemporary special operators not only give you real knives and guns to shoot out, but also let all the audience understand. The visual impact of that sense of realism is too shocking.
Under the premise of ensuring watchability, let's talk about the growth of soldiers. This is what military dramas should do. No matter what the theme is, contemporary military dramas should do a good job in the basic skills, and then talk about others, which is what military dramas should look like.
2. Lively: "The genius drags the king and his wronged brothers", which is so funny
Calm down.
The production of "Special Battle Glory" is indeed "touching", but to really make it stand out, it depends on the characters and story. This point, Xu Jizhou and the screenwriter, the two military genre connoisseurs, know better than anyone.
Therefore, the focus of this drama is still those flesh and blood special operators.
The first to bear the brunt is the protagonist of this drama, Yan Baoyue, whose life and death are uncertain in flashbacks.
The whole story is also about how Yan Baoyue went from a "soldier king" with outstanding military ability but incompatible with the collective, and finally grew up with his comrades-in-arms and grew up to become an excellent armed police special combatant.
The difficulty is that the audience already knows the result -
That is, no matter what kind of test the protagonist goes through, he will definitely become the king of soldiers. And the main creator simply did not go around the bend with the audience, Yan Baoyue in the flashback, how prominent the individual ability and collective cooperation ability are, just now everyone has experienced, if it is a game, he is simply the plug-in itself. The male protagonist apparently joined the special combat team and began to grow into a soldier king.
Therefore, how to shoot the growth process of the male protagonist well even when the audience knows the result is a real test for the choreographer.
Fortunately, the main creators are not vegetarians.
In the second half of the first episode, the two military type masters filmed the military training link of a traditional military drama into the story of the thorn-headed recruit Yan Baoyue and his unjust brothers, unity is interesting, serious and lively, and the characters are shaped, which is really a master.
The protagonist boy group of this drama is the "Cloud Breaking Sky" squad composed of Yan Baoyue, Xiao Yunjie and Lu Xiaotian.
At the beginning, it was a military training leader's speech, not a cliché, but a daigo-inspired one.
The new recruits who had just taken the bus to report were like young masters, who did not know how to cherish grain at all, and some people trampled five good eggs and lost them, "leaving not a single grain for the enemy."
Immediately, he ordered the recruits to pick up all the food they had thrown away and eat it.
The best performers in this small test: Yan Baoyue and Xiao Yunjie.
The leader found that there were two people in the back seat of the bus whose seats were very clean and asked who it was.
Xiao Yunjie took the initiative to admit that it was theirs, the two brothers came from the same place, junior high school classmates, came together to become soldiers, obviously, broken clouds, broken clouds and clouds have.
What about "days"? The worst performer is "Day". The one who stepped on the egg just now was him- Lu Xiaotian, played by Jiang Long.
The next two scenes quickly shaped the personalities of the two protagonists.
First, the leader asked the two why they were soldiers.
Xiao Yunjie was scrappy with a bunch of clichés, the leaders couldn't listen to it, let the truth be told, at this time Yan Baoyue whispered two words: "Become stronger."
Yes, the character came out.
In the second scene, the recruits are punished for running, and someone is needed to serve as the "company commander" and "platoon leader" in the penalty run.
"Company commander", Yan Baoyue took the initiative to apply. After "taking office", Xiao Yunjie was directly arranged to choose four platoon leaders.
Xiao Yunjie shouted and directly moved the Deyun Society over.
The penalty runs like a comedy, noisy, cheerful, and high-spirited.
What's more, the two of them finished running with the team, the squad leader came over and asked them how many meters they could still run, and Yan Baoyue said again that what is this, we can keep running.
Then the two of them ran until it was dark.
Alas, my brothers and I have run away with joy.
In terms of performance, after 1 episode, the stone in my heart fell to the ground.
The soul characters of the whole play, Yan Baoyue, Xu Jizhou did not choose the wrong person, Yang Yang, the performance came. Even, exceeded expectations.
The appearance is right, inch, angular face, tough dress, sharp eyes, dark skin, no filter. And the straight posture and temperament are obviously perfectly integrated with the identity of the soldier, and the handsome soldier who does not love, it seems that a large wave of face powder is inevitable.
But the biggest surprise wasn't this, it was the lines.
In the past, I knew that Yang Yang's lines were not bad, and this time I found that it was so good, I was punished for running that scene, running up and reading the words was still full of breath, and the original voice was starred, which was the meaning.
Listen to those dragging king lines again, but the old one is energetic—
"Those things that are worth it, it's worth doing again and again."
"A lot of people ask me why I'm running so fast, and out of courtesy, I tell them that I like to listen to the sound of the wind."
Xiao Yunjie, played by Meng Asai, is definitely a surprise in this drama.
As soon as he appeared on the scene, he laughed continuously, and he was festive and tossed, and he also formed a contrast with Yan Baoyue, and the two character images were more distinct.
As for the "Tian" played by Jiang Long, the combat effectiveness is not very strong, but the flexible mobility is quite strong, and he takes the initiative to move closer to the two soldier kings as soon as he performs the task, which should become the funny responsibility of the play.
This is also the second time that Jiang Long has cooperated with Yang Yang, the last time was "Full-time Master", this time there should be a bigger spark.
In addition to the protagonist's trio, the female sniper played by the female number two Jiang Luxia is also bright, and there are not many scenes, but the powerful aura between the hands and feet is a word, handsome. I believe that this play can give her a lot of female fans.
The instructor played by Gao Xin is also good, when he was in "Langya List", he also fattened up the role, like a puffy middle-aged man, this time playing a neat commander is not contrary to the peace, the literary and martial arts are very beautiful, looking for him to serve as the needle of the sea god.
Next, the male protagonist will also experience the tragic process of being locked up and assigned to the cooking class.
But it was also there that he would find that the cooks who he had not looked up to were actually full of special skills.
One-on-one, that is not beaten, good convergence of the mind to complete the growth, out of the cooking class day, is the time when the soldier king grows up.
It can be said that with wonderful performances and interesting stories, the opening line of the atmosphere of the military brigade's life atmosphere is straight, in addition to the bright line of recruit selection, there is also a dark line of deep brotherhood.
This also makes those troop numbers and warrior numbers that are far away from us become fuller, flesh-and-blood warriors. The feeling of "no love but higher than love, handing over your back to each other" is much more interesting than a love scene.
3, tough guys: the momentum of domestic military dramas, back
In the first episode, I really felt that a director like Xu Jizhou, who is straight and hard, his works are really appetizing to military drama fans.
Whether it is visual effects, or camera scheduling, scene atmosphere creation, etc., it can be seen that people's blood is boiling.
In the control of the rhythm of the battle, it is also very good, the combination of movement and static, fast and slow, will make you enjoy this rhythm very much.
Entering the second half of the episode, I shot so united and friendly, funny and humorous, there is youth, sweat, and blood.
Even female audiences who are less interested in this kind of military drama will find the point of view of the story.
However, with the end of the first episode, the heroine of the show Ai Qianxue (played by Li Yitong) was launched, and the audience also began to worry about whether the story would go to the love drama again, this worry is not necessary, the director said: This drama, there is no love drama, until the point is reached, only sympathy for each other.
I believe that Yang Yang took this drama, and definitely did not come to change the shape to act in a love drama, but to move the real character.
Finally, I also want to say what exactly is the military tough guy of the national drama.
Some viewers saw Yang Yang playing the main role, and questioned, can fresh meat play a good soldier? Sorry I can't agree.
Whether or not you can play the soldier king is not determined by the appearance, but by the things in the bones.
There is a scene in the tidbits where the male protagonist is subdued, locks his throat, and is strangled.
The crew used the most earthy method - live-action shooting, panoramic shots, not to be virtual.
Yang Yang, personally on the field, was strangled.
One shot is completed, and the vomit is directly fainted.
I asked, is the belief revealed in the picture hard enough?
Only a group of real tough guys can play a group of tough guys who are special operators.
Special battle glory, how to make this glory, become tangible, how to tell a good story?
What makes glory land in the episode is not winning or losing, not winning or losing.
It's faith.
There is a scene in the trailer where Yan Baoyue waves a red flag and looks glorious.
The former thorn-headed soldier who had passed the test of life and death should have completed his growth at this moment. It shows the will of the Chinese military steel and defends the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
To become a warrior king, you have to go through countless setbacks, give up?
No. As long as this belief is sincere enough and firm enough, no matter how low the winning side is, and dare to say the phrase "use me in the first battle, use me to win", then there will be a day when the mountain will be broken.
Audiences have been asking, when will there be another good drama like "Soldier Assault" in China?
Can the combination of "breaking clouds and days" make domestic military dramas more restless?
Look at the eyes of Yan Breaking Yue's broken water, "Use me in the first battle, use me to win", really tough guy, real skill, this sentence, needless to say, do it, show everyone.
