"Hengshan Hospital" has been on the air for a long time and is accurately positioned as a spy movie. However, compared with the similar theme "Rebel", it cannot be said to be a "disc war" at all.
The classic scenes such as gunshots, tense atmosphere, password changes, and torture that are essential in disc war scenes have not occurred, and what has replaced them is a very interesting and relaxed interface. Although it is unique, I personally feel that it is not a spy movie. The whole style is more musical. The aesthetic fatigue of single-scenario vision
Why do I say "Hengshan Hospital" is like a musical? It's because there are so few scenes in this drama, and most of the scenes are taken in the hospital. The costumes of the characters are mainly nurse uniforms and doctor uniforms, which are basically similar in every episode. Therefore, watching too many episodes will cause visual fatigue.
What’s even more interesting is that several of the artists in the drama were praised by others for their resemblance to Ma Yili, Zu Feng, and Hua Tsai. Several artists have indeed achieved a close resemblance, and there are also signs of intentional imitation in the way of dressing and the entire makeup. It is not clear whether the crew is trying to gain popularity or it is accidental. If it is purely to gain popularity, I think this eye-catching technique is a bit despicable and unusual.
And the title screen of "Hengshan Hospital" is particularly weird. An old newspaper has a report of "Hengshan Hospital" written on it, and then there is a touch of scarlet on it, and the newspapers on all sides are burned. The appearance of embers. I feel that this does not match the setting of a disc battle, but more like a video title imitating a horror movie, which is quite divisive.
The only big scene in the entire film is actually at the beginning of the video, which is an overhead camera looking down, showing various scenes of old Shanghai. We have seen a lot of this kind of beginning, and it was like this in many dramas during the Republic of China period. For example, in "The Cheongsam Detective" starring Ma Yili, the first scene is also overlooking the beach. In order to better fit the storyline, the scene was placed overlooking the port.
I think "Hengshan Hospital" captured this big scene well. Why? Because it does not end immediately after overlooking the big scene and enter the small scene. Just take one shot to the end and let the audience follow the camera down the street, then turn right at the intersection, continue forward, and then lock in the destination. I think this technique is very unique to the area.
However, in other shooting and music, "visual aesthetic fatigue" has occurred. Music has always been a very light background music, whether it is a big scene or a small shot. in the same song. Although it shows that the style of the entire drama is a comedy drama, things must be reversed at the extremes, and the emotional linkage caused by the music affects our understanding of the plot. The emotional drama is raw
"Hengshan Hospital" is a spy film that focuses on the character of its hero, but it also adds emotional drama as seasoning. First of all, the male protagonists are far different from the female protagonist in terms of cultural level and social experience. If we look at it today, one is a high school student who became a street gangster after graduating from college, and the other is a gentle and serious 985 graduate. Can the two of them come together?
Looking back at the similar drama "The Pretender", why did Mingtai, played by Li Yifeng, not choose Yu Manli emotionally? Even though she is charming and understands charm, she understands her own operation and is desperate. applicable. What's missing in the middle? I think one of the two fell in love at first sight, but they couldn't fall in love. Even though the audience thought they could fall in love, they didn't. This is a TV series that meets the standards. Because it takes into account differences in class, actual conditions, and ideas.
As for "Hengshan Hospital", I think the director did not consider this issue. He just wanted to bring the two people together to be lovers. Originally, there were a lot of embarrassments when the two were talking. Different ways of using language expression can completely reflect the differences in the class of the police station.
But I understand that many viewers will mention "Domination of Kyushu" and feel that the male protagonist who is like a ruffian in "Domination of Kyushu" is easier to survive and can give the female lead a sufficient sense of belonging.
Taking full account of the heroine's office environment and family atmosphere, there are many opportunities to get in touch with highly educated molecules, the heroine's chat and dating circle is also common, the happiness generated by her own family is also great, and her work is relatively stable and safe. sex. This solves the problem of the female lead needing others to bring her sufficient happiness.
And Ma Tianming, played by Qin Junjie this time, is actually a habitual criminal emotionally. From the very beginning, it has been revealed that he is a thief and a swindler, who makes a living by defrauding the young girls of wealthy farmers. Therefore, when it comes to facing emotions, Ma Tianming is actually more numb than the average person.
When he sees money or thinks of money, his eyes will sparkle, but when he sees an attractive woman, he does not make any move, just like a master. Just like he hides himself in front of the rich ladies, just like he kisses the nursing staff in order to better hide himself in front of the nursing staff. The storyline has already established him as someone who is very casual, very open to the outside world and thinks he is in the majority. Failure in characterization
In fact, after watching "Hengshan Hospital" for several seasons, I also saw the figure of "The Detective of the Republic of China" in this drama, but it is obvious that the former one is better. Because his role is realistic, although Lu Yao, played by Hu Yitian in "Republic of China", has little money and regards wealth as his life, he is a real rich man, but he is unwilling to rely on his family. It’s just energy. Although Bai Youning, played by Xiao Yan, is a gangster, she is knowledgeable and has returned from studying abroad. Therefore, the emotions of the two people are in an equal state. What Lu Yao is given is not self-righteousness but leaping thinking. He is still dominating Jiuzhou, but he is dominating with leaping thinking, rather than relying on self-righteousness to dominate. Lu Yao's detective character creation is also very successful. success.
Looking back at Ma Tianming in "Hengshan Hospital", he was a villain from the beginning. The righteousness of his family and country had nothing to do with him, and his knowledge reserve was limited to his own family. He taught Chinese medicine, but according to the setting, he did not use the medical level of Chinese medicine to make money, which shows that his level is not that qualified.
In this way, all the secrets he has to hide when he goes to the hospital in the future are illogical. He has insufficient knowledge reserves and cultural literacy for urban life. If he wants to be among a bunch of serious doctors, It's not easy to hide your true identity and pretend to be someone else.
Therefore, the key to the storyline should be on his fear of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, instead of him being always naughty and disobedient, and always relying on luck to win. Love in general.
A person’s story happened in the 1930s. At that time, Shanghai was very polarized. Under the influence of the bourgeoisie, there were actually many people like Ma Tianming who were born in poverty, and Since these people don't have much foundation, the chances of being used by others are very high. Therefore, there was a scene where Ma Tianming was involved in the murder case.
I think the story has reached a climax here. In fact, as an audience, we really want to find out, want to know why the Zhang family was silenced overnight, and want to know why Ma Tianming Being chosen as the scapegoat for the murderer, who was related to Ma Tianming's escape in the middle and later stages? Although there is a police officer in the plot who has been investigating the murder case of the Zhang family, in fact the active leader of this matter should be Ma Tianming.
Because some people are playing tricks on themselves, so they need to find this person, bleach themselves, and let themselves go without cheating on their identities to survive.
This is in line with nature, but most of the later creation of Ma Tianming's character occurred in the hospital. He completely forgot that he was involved in the Zhang family's murder case and focused on I just wonder how I can earn five million and how I can better replace Cai Likun, a doctor studying abroad. I think this is not very logical. People generally care most about things closely related to themselves.
In general, "Hengshan Hospital" is actually about a story about a red capitalist who was admitted to a hospital after being killed, and then was rescued by people sent by the organization.
But the crux of the entire plot lies in the exchange of characters' identities. Rescue and rescuing assets seem to be additional tasks. Spy movies that do not highlight the theme make the entire storyline look boring and unclear.
