Pay tribute to the unknown heroes on the hidden front

"It is actually not easy to carry out life-like narratives in a type of story with strong plots, but we hope to convey a concept through these plots: national security is not only a grand narrative, but also closely related to every citizen." Liu Jiang said that modern spy war dramas carry a dual mission, which not only provides a genre of the pleasure of watching the drama, but also completes the in-depth dissemination of mainstream values. Liu Jiang particularly emphasized the principle of "villains do not surrender wisdom": "In reality, the struggle on the hidden front is far more cruel than drama. Only by respecting the strength of the opponent can the preciousness of victory be highlighted."

Regarding the creation direction of future spy war dramas, Liu Jiang believes that "the dual depth of technology and human nature" is the key. "Modern intelligence war has shifted from physical confrontation to technological game, but what ultimately determines the outcome is still human belief. This collision of technological rationality and belief sentiment will be a new space for the evolution of genre dramas."

As a creative practice of domestic spy war dramas moving from "historical nostalgia" to "realistic view", "Top Secret Competition" realizes the evolution and innovation of genre narrative through the combination of high-density narrative and the warmth of human nature. As Liu Jiang said: "The value of film and television creation lies in allowing the audience to see those 'secret and great' figures while enjoying the story." Our reporter Qiu Wei
