Is there no future for domestic spy war dramas?
Although new works have emerged in spy war dramas in recent years, such as "Lonely War in the Lost City" and other works, they have made remarkable achievements in plot innovation, but from a historical point of view, compared with innovation, what modern spy war dramas lack is the reproduction of traditional elements, or classic characters, and the ability to modernize and reconstruct these elements.
Finance, national security, civil war, anti-Japanese, and science and technology have the foundation for innovation, and there is no shortage of themes in domestic dramas, what is missing?
Lack of classics!
Too little.
But the current spy war dramas do not lack the shadow of classics. For example, the roles of Liu Yunlong, Wang Baoqiang and Chen Shu in "Secret Calculation" have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even in new works, such as "Decryption" directed by Chen Sicheng, Wang Baoqiang is used again to play the role of A Bing, it does not seem abrupt, but makes the audience feel a familiar warmth.
This shows that the charm of classic characters lies in their vitality, not simply being copied.
In addition, modern spy war dramas also have no shortage of highlights in the battle of wits. For example, although the story centered on Tianjin Station in "Latent" adopts traditional spy war elements, it pays more attention to logic and reality in the plot construction, so that the audience can feel the complex emotional entanglements between the characters in the tense and exciting plot.
This shows that a good spy war drama is not only about a contest of wisdom, but also about the discussion of human nature. As long as the details are done, there is no worry about no good works.
The success of some current spy war dramas lies precisely in the fact that they dare to try different narrative methods and technical means. Whether it is "Lonely Boat" starring Zhang Songwen to be broadcast, or "Deep Sea 1950" cooperated by Yu Hewei and Wu Yue, these works are trying to explore the new boundaries of spy war dramas. They not only make breakthroughs at the technical level, but also make bold experiments in theme and emotional expression, thus winning a wide audience base.
Flashbacks, interludes, time, space, memories and fantasies can all show different plot descriptions.
Where is the foundation?
The reason why spy war dramas can survive for a long time is precisely because they constantly adapt to the changes of the times, and constantly incorporate new elements while maintaining the original charm.
The "taste" of spy war dramas is not only reflected in those classic episodes, but more importantly, whether it can touch the hearts of contemporary audiences and make them resonate.
Empathy is the biggest market!
The real "spy war flavor" refers to the motivations of the characters in the play, their psychological changes, and their choices when faced with difficulties. For example, the scene between Yu Zecheng and Cui Ping in "Latent", although simple, profoundly shows the characters' inner struggles and persistence in faith. This kind of expression requires not only the ingenuity of the screenwriter, but also the superb acting skills of the actors, and the director's grasp of the overall atmosphere.
Today's spy war dramas are gradually regaining that unique "flavor", they are no longer sticking to the routines of the past, but trying to give spy war dramas more layers of meaning in the context of the new era. For example, showing the growth process of the characters through delicate emotional depictions, or using high-tech means to enhance the visual effects, these make modern spy war dramas more attractive.
In 2024, Yang Mi's "Harbin 1944", Wang Yibo's "Wind Chaser", "When the Stars Shine", etc. will all have good performances, and I look forward to these next:
"Lonely Boat" starring includes Zeng Shunxi, Zhang Songwen, Zhang Fengyi, Zhou Yiwei, etc.
The directors and stars of "Dream Bund" include Liu Yunlong and Zhang Luyi.
"Rivals· Mountains and Rivers Nameless" director Qi Dao. The starring roles include Liao Fan, Zhu Zhu, etc.
The starring roles of "Infernal" include Zhang Yi, Zhang Luyi, Liao Fan, etc.
"Eve" starring Cheng Yi.
are all big productions, the plot doesn't need to be said, spy war dramas rely on savoring!
Hopefully one or two classics will come out of them.
