This year, there are endless tribute dramas, not only The Awakeing Age and Glory and Dream, but also the MV, the promotion song of the film The Pioneer, met the audience on June 22nd. Throughout these red tribute dramas, all the well-received works have made great efforts in the plot, and the same phenomenon has also appeared in the field of domestic spy films.
Sneak plot

In 2006, a spy TV series "Assassination" adapted from Mai Jia’s novel of the same name came out, which tells the little-known legendary story of a group of special intelligence workers in China.With the confusing plot, gripping, exquisitely set suspense and unexpected plot development, the domestic spy war drama-watching craze has risen instantly since the broadcast of "Assassination".

Although "Assassination" now has such a high evaluation, in fact, it was faced with the fate of being killed in the first instance. It is not easy for Liu Yunlong to become the godfather of spy war, because it has become popular in the ratings and has been widely acclaimed. Background music is essential in the atmosphere rendering and emotional promotion of a film and television drama, and the music processing of the whole plot against me is in place, especially when the Internationale rings, the emotions that have been brewing for a long time in the audience come to mind.
Before dawn
In 2009, when director Liu Jiang only saw the story outline and six episodes of the script, he made up his mind to shoot Before Dawn. The drama mainly tells the story of Liu Xinjie, the undercover of the Chinese Communist Party, working closely with the underground party organization led by Duan Haiping, a sailor, and fighting with the agents of the Kuomintang Eighth Intelligence Bureau led by Tan Zhongshu in 1948.

Different from previous spy films, this drama adds a lot of worldly plots, which magnifies the realism of the film.At the same time, "Before Dawn" multiple clues cross, the story tells the audience who is undercover at the beginning, but it is fascinating and can’t stop, and the ending is desperate.
Latent
If there is a TV series that feels afraid to breathe, it is the Latency starring Sun Honglei and Yao Chen. The story tells the story of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression’s late period, when the Chinese Communist Party rebelled against the Kuomintang intelligence officers Yu Zecheng and Cui Ping, posing as husband and wife, secretly lurked in tianjin railway station, the Military Security Bureau.

In this work, the setting of each character has a proper beauty, and the characters are distinctive and flesh-and-blood, and a series of character behaviors under typical characteristics have grown up smoothly. The rhythm of the whole play is relaxed, and coupled with the interlocking plot, it must be said that this is a masterpiece.
Kite
"Kite" takes the life and emotional experience of "Kite" of Communist party member, which lurks inside the military junta, as the main line, and tells the story of a communist party intelligence agent who sticks to his faith.

Kite and Assassination both belong to Liu Yunlong’s works. The reputation of this drama has declined, mainly because of the obvious separation of plot. Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it was a spy war drama, and then it turned into a black historical drama.Fortunately, this black historical drama in the back is brilliant enough, and the operation of scheming and playing tricks conforms to the spirit of the dark times at that time.
Red

"Red" tells the story that Xu Tian, a little person, grew up from an ordinary small accountant with color blindness to an underground party member during the war of aggression against China, and his fate has changed dramatically. "Red" is an original script. The script is powerful and long-lived, and many close-ups are very delicate. The plot absolutely crushes the domestic dramas with the same theme or various themes in the past decade.
Pretender
"The Pretender" is one of the best spy films in recent years. It recreates the turbulent and war-torn era that hangs by a thread, peeps at the miniature of the times through the small windows of the four brothers and sisters of the Ming family, and is mixed with some teacher-student feelings and love, so that the work is no longer cold and has a human touch.

In the same way, the play also has some "meaning is difficult to be flat" settings, which increase the sense of reality. For example, Yi Song’s role "Yu Manli" is too tearful, and he has been sad all his life, and he has never been completely loved.
Cliff
This year, Zhang Yimou’s "Above the Cliff" was released, which aroused extensive discussion among the audience. This film has too many similarities with the previous TV series "The Cliff".

In order to obtain important information, communist party sent Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan to pretend to be husband and wife, and sneaked into the Special Service Department of Harbin Police Department. The underground work was dangerous, and they would lose their lives if they were not careful. However, for the common ideal, they have to suppress all kinds of emotions in their hearts and work together in this dark corridor, just for the bright light ahead.
In particular, Zhang Jiayi’s interpretation of Zhou Yi is in place. When he saw his daughter Sasha before his execution, his expression was no longer calm, but full of infinite guilt for his daughter, which was moving.
Peace Hotel
The high-energy brain-burning spy war drama "Peace Hotel" starring Chen Shu, Lei Jiayin and Li Guangjie is exciting, which tells the story of a group of mysterious guests being blocked in a luxury hotel called "Peace Hotel" and playing a life-and-death game for 10 days and 240 hours, and the whole process is full of ignition.

The good thing is that the drama is not only the glory of the positive characters, but also the flash of the relatively negative characters. The characters are not one-sided and thin, which is quite interesting.
No War in Peiping
"No War in Peiping" is a spy war drama co-directed by Kong Sheng and Li Xue, starring Liu Ye, Chen Baoguo and other actors. It tells the story of Fang Meng ‘ao, an underground member of the Chinese Communist Party who was lurking in the air force of the Kuomintang in China in 1948, making a difficult choice for the peaceful liberation of Peiping and the happiness and tranquility of the people at a critical moment.

"No War in Peiping" took seven years to prepare, with an investment of over 100 million yuan, and assembled seven filmmakers to regard the emperor as the emperor, which can be described as a masterpiece.In addition to the superb acting skills of a group of powerful actors, there is also a plot of Chinese studies that permeates the whole play, all of which are the reasons for the drama’s attention.
Blade
"The Blade" tells the story of a thrilling and gripping spy war that took place in the chaotic Tianjin Concession in the 1930s.

From the beginning, I was looking for a mole, and I have been going through all kinds of thrilling temptations, as if it were a real thing. The surface was calm, and suddenly an unremarkable thing would be exposed, which would lead to fatal disaster. The drama attracts the audience’s attention with its ups and downs and complicated struggles, and the mysterious identity attached to almost every character makes the plot suspenseful.
The above ten films are masterpieces of domestic spy films in recent years. You may wish to watch the classics in your spare time and understand the charm of red film and television works.
