Finally saw a drama with a hit appearance.
After entering 2024, except for " Blossoms " directed by Wong Kar-wai and starring Hu Ge and Ma Yili, other works have received mediocre response.
CCTV's new year drama "South to North" is not as good as "In the World" and "Happy Parents" starring Zhang Jiayi. Although
is a work from the Dominion Zone, it is far inferior to "Pi".
Xu Fan and Ma Sichun, the collaboration between two major movie queens, "火狐人家" lacks some explosive points.
is not as popular as the "Old Mistress" in "If Running Is My Life".
"The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is a highly anticipated ancient costume suspense drama.
unfortunately chose the greasy Zhou Yiwei as the leading role, and just played Di Renjie as the "Oil King".
It was not until the official announcement of the launch date of " Ice Hunting " starring Zhang Songwen that it will be broadcast tonight, that I finally saw hope. The volume of the
18 episode is short and concise, so there will naturally be no problem of watering down the plot.
is the most popular crime drama in the Chinese drama market.
And judging from the trailer and plot summary released so far, there is no reason not to follow the two major highlights.
01
First of all, the plot trend is out of the ordinary, and the characters are distinctive.
I believe that you have watched eight of the anti-drug-themed crime dramas if not ten. The content settings of
and the story directions are almost the same. The most outstanding one is "The Mekong River Case".
But the plot itself is far less interesting than the actors' wonderful acting skills.
There are only a handful of movies that can really make people shine because of the plot.
But "Hunting Ice" is a work that breaks out of the conventional circle. This time it faces the good and the bad.
One is the policewoman Zhao Younan (played by Yao Anna) who has been transferred from the army.
One is Huang Zongwei (played by Zhang Songwen) who is engaged in chemical business.
Zhao Younan immediately targeted Huang Zongwei from the beginning, but due to the other party's scheming.
predicted the police's actions many times, so that Zhao Younan never had the chance to catch Huang Zongwei. In the trailer of
, Huang Zongwei is a drug-making genius who is proficient in chemistry. He created a chemical called onion crystal.
But this is a product that rides on the red line. It has even been ridiculed by others that onion crystals can be used directly to make methamphetamine.
When Huang Zongwei first faced the two bosses, he acted in a low-key manner.
had a look of fear on his face after hearing what they said. He was relieved when the other person said it was just a joke.
However, after seeing off the two bosses, Huang Zongwei picked up the cigarette butts thrown by one of the bosses on the ground.
extinguished it with his bare hands, put away his humble appearance, and showed a murderous look in his eyes.
can disguise drugs as chemicals that can reasonably flow into the market.
And Huang Zongwei himself pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, creating various illusions that are indeed difficult to distinguish.
And highly intelligent criminals are themselves rare images in crime dramas.
After all, a large number of positive characters are highlighted in the investigation.
or the works that give the police a golden finger, they all invariably bring wisdom to the villains.
But the villain in "Ice Hunter" is an intellectual holding a copy of "Advanced Organic Chemistry".
is still a drug-making genius who pretends to be an honest person. His character is more spicy and his image has changed more.
The policewoman Zhao Younan is also alert and sharp, before everyone realizes who is behind the scenes.
She has locked on Huang Zongwei, and he is also a powerful person.
The key is the duel between the two powers. The final result is that the policewoman captures the drug maker. Will
or the drug maker escape, or even cooperate in unexpected ways? The uncertain story direction of
is also different from other domestic dramas of the same type.
can be said to have left everyone with enough suspense.
In the trailer, there is also gangsterism, kidnapping the villain's family and luring the snake out of the cave.
The drama of police and criminal pursuit is full of standards.

Second, an unexpected new combination
When seeing Zhang Songwen, Yao Anna, Han Geng in the same frame, there is always a feeling that they are on the wrong stage.
Isn’t Yao Anna the second princess of Huawei who plans to take the girl group route?
Hasn’t Han Geng always been in the comfort zone of his “ex”?
Why did these two people act in a crime drama together with Zhang Songwen?
Yao Anna, who has little acting experience, still plays the heroine.
Han Geng is the second male lead who plays a large part in the film, and is the villain just like Zhang Songwen.
Will these two people really not hold back Zhang Songwen?
I believe this is also the worry that many viewers have when seeing this new combination. The drama has not yet started airing.
Everything is still unknown. Whether the two actors are here to hold back the film or the director's choice is a stroke of genius.
will have to wait until the series starts to air to find out.
But I have to say that when these three people come together, they will be full of gimmicks.
Audiences who have watched Zhang Songwen's role as the black boss in "Hurry".
will naturally not miss his role as another villain in "Ice Hunter".
Audiences who are curious about the acting skills of Anna Yao and Han Geng.
must also be in the minority, even if they are just joining in the fun, they will get a glimpse of it after "Hunting Ice" starts airing.
However, judging from the trailer, Zhang Songwen's acting skills are still stable and his emotions can be switched freely.
's face-changing drama unfolds in minutes.
Anna Yao is mostly expressionless in the trailer.
But the image and temperament are very suitable for a female police officer who has retired from the army.
As for the various action scenes in the behind-the-scenes shooting, he was very dedicated.
Regarding Han Geng’s acting skills, the drama team directly released a preview of his role opposite Zhang Songwen.
wears a floral shirt and combs her hair back, and is rude to Zhang Songwen.
has an aura that is both bad and ruthless, making people feel very involved.
In fact, with Zhang Songwen in charge, there is no need for everyone to worry too much.
Even if you come here for Zhang Songwen alone, "Hunting Ice" is worth watching.
In addition, Zhao Longhao, who played the rival of Zhang Songwen in "Hurry Up", is also in the film. The sentence "I'm determined to get this batch" in the trailer of
is obviously another character who creates trouble for Zhang Songwen.
However, Zhao Longhao is a professional villain, and he can play the right role in "Hurry" where powerful actors gather.
is not inferior to Zhang Songwen, and Zhang translated , which is naturally not a big problem in "Hunting Ice".
This kind of casting is not afraid of the audience being confused, and there is Peng Yushu.
has played the role of a monster-catching Taoist priest in so many major Internet movies.
The image of Shen Shen Nao Nao has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. How dare Gao Qunshu let him play the role of a policeman?
But the more so, the greater the possibility of winning by a strange move. The unexpected casting of
really piqued my curiosity.
Conclusion
These three highlights alone have whetted everyone’s appetite.
The only thing that is uncertain is that after leaving Zhang Yi, can Zhang Songwen be king again?
"Hurry Up" made famous not only Zhang Songwen, but also Zhang Yi, two top-notch collaborations in the industry. Only
made the characters and acting skills of the powerful showdown come out of the circle one after another.
This time, Zhang Songwen is left to take the leading role, and it is time to prove his ability to carry dramas.
So, are you optimistic about Zhang Songwen?
