would like to ask, in the drama market, which genre is most likely to become a hit?
It must be a criminal investigation drama. " Black Ice ", "Serious Case Group Six", and "Forensic Pioneer" are all classic masterpieces that you can never tire of. Needless to say, just play them over and over again and you're done!
In recent years, many good criminal investigation dramas with great popularity and reputation have emerged in the Chinese drama market. For example, " Anti-Crime Storm " and "Forensic Qin Ming" have reached full standards and attracted much attention once they were broadcast.
and last year's hit "Hurry Up", which made the audience hooked and hooked, also made , Zhang Songwen, , Gao Ye and other middle-aged powerful actors usher in the spring of their careers.
However, this year there are no more hard-core ruthless dramas. The broadcasts of " Ice Hunters ", " Above the Rivers ", and "Rivers on the Rivers" did not refresh the audience, leaving many fans of criminal investigation dramas. Feeling disappointed.
However, don't worry, "Snow Maze" is coming now. The show is scheduled to be released in June. Zhang Yimou will personally supervise the production, and the screenwriter of "Old Nine Gates" will join the show. The powerful lineup will make people instantly attracted. I think there is finally another drama that can catch up to "Kurst"!
Zhang Yimou's first suspense drama is coming, and the creative lineup has too many surprises
"Snow Maze" is set in Harlan City, Northeast China in 1997, and tells the story of the exciting showdown between a group of young criminal police officers and drug dealers. On one side is a temporarily formed elite police force, and on the other side is a secretive and cunning large-scale drug trafficking organization. Faced with complex emotions and solemn laws, a test of justice and humanity begins.
This drama not only reveals the huge organizational chain behind the vicious drug traffickers, but also calls on people to jointly participate in combating the criminal activities of drug trafficking.
In fact, there is no shortage of suspense dramas on the market, but the current dramas always lack a feeling, that is, wild .
What the audience really wants to see is the earliest kind of battle between good and evil, where you come and go, surrounded by dangers, and full of violent aesthetics, which makes people enjoy watching it. Now there is finally a new work that can satisfy everyone's needs.
Producer Zhang Yimou participated in the production of a TV series for the first time. Before that, he had been a main director in the film industry. In the past few years, he directed "Man Jianghong ", " Solid as a Rock ", " Article 20 " 》, every one of them is worthy of praise. It can be said that Zhang Yimou's works are more popular than the last on the big screen.
Zhang Yimou is listed as one of the representatives of the "Fifth Generation of Directors" and won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the UNESCO Film Festival. Under his lens, every actor can find his or her most suitable position. His works The characters in the novel also contain a strong sense of history and life awareness.
So this time he will serve as the producer of the new drama "Snow Maze", and the finished film will definitely not lose the quality of the movie.
The screenwriter Zhang Yuanang is also very capable. She has appeared in the "Old Nine Gates", "Sand Sea" and "Ultimate Notes" of the Tomb Raiders series.
Zhang Yuan'ang's creative style is graceful yet bold, with a strong plot, fast pace, and very rigorous logic. If this drama is given to her, I believe it will be a success.
It can be said that "Snow Maze" is a work that truly benchmarks classic Chinese dramas. With a gold medal director participating in the production and an experienced screenwriter, I think the audience can't wait to follow the show.
But the reason why I am still hesitant to jump in is mainly because I don’t understand the cast. But don’t worry yet, because this time it’s definitely a tough dish!
The actors are gathered together, and the young actors are so eye-catching
If "Snow Maze" is compared to a "Manchu-Han banquet", then the actors are the big and hard dishes on the table, while the young actors are the innovative dishes. But no matter which dish it is, it is an indispensable part of this banquet.
ranks first, Liu Wei.
In recent years, Liu Wei's popularity has increased.
The arbitrary Wan Shantang in "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Houses"; the shameless Wu Jianshe in "Wind Blowing Pinellia"; the stubborn and shrewd Liu Liben in "The Road of Life". Each character is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and truly achieves the success of the drama. Throwing face, people can't help but sigh, he is worthy of being a national first-class actor.
Liu Wei has a wide range of acting skills, and he has an aura of "veteran cadre" about him. When he plays a good guy, he is upright and upright, and when he holds a teacup, he is at the level of a section chief; when he plays a bad guy, he is equally brilliant, with a single look that gives him a full sense of oppression. There is no trace of his performance, and every character is fresh, vivid and full of life.
This time in "Snow Maze", Liu Wei plays the role of a solemn policeman. In the stills, his eyes are fierce and firm, and he is not easy to mess with. Such an imposing character is given to Liu Wei , acting is absolutely nothing to worry about.
is second, Liang Guanhua
Liang Guanhua is not famous, and many viewers may not know him. But whenever I mention "Detective Detective Dee", Liang Guanhua will definitely appear in everyone's mind. He is a professional Dee Renjie, a rare intelligent star in detective dramas.
As a national first-class actor, Liang Guanhua's performance is relaxed and natural, and his line skills are profound. This time in the new drama "Snow Maze", he will play Huang Jingyu's father. Looking at his honest and honest appearance in the stills, I don't know if there will be a reversal in the feature film, but I am looking forward to it.
The third place, Huang Jingyu
Huang Jingyu is a rare drama "bearer" in the entertainment industry, and is known as "the man who served in the military in the entertainment industry." Don't tell me, he seems to be a fan of "police". Whether it is the sniper Gu Shun in "Operation Red Sea" or the anti-drug policeman Li Fei in "Operation Icebreaker", Huang Jingyu is a "walking hormone" with his own righteousness.
Criminal investigation dramas are not Huang Jingyu’s comfort zone, but his dominance zone. In the new drama "Snow Maze", Huang Jingyu will once again play the role of an anti-drug policeman. From the stills, he frowns, as if he is trapped in a mystery and thinking about the key to solving the problem. Stop thinking about it, I can't wait to see Huang Jingyu show off his skills in the hail of bullets.
In addition to the above actors, there are also talented young actors such as Zhang Yu, Wang Ziqi, Liu Runnan, Zhao Yutong playing important roles in the drama. The acting skills in this drama are too stable.
Conclusion
If a criminal investigation drama wants to become a big hit, four highlights are essential.
First, solid script support. The storyline needs to be interlocking and allow the audience to think immersed in the plot.
Second, the suspenseful atmosphere is online. Not only must the transformation and scenes be full of atmosphere, but the sound effects, filters, and the process of solving the case must also create a breathless sense of drama.
Third, the characters have distinct portraits. Both the good guys and the bad guys must have their own characteristics, and both are indispensable in the play.
Fourth, actors’ performances must be online. No matter how realistic and restored the costumes and props are, they are all to set off the plot. And whether the plot can be attractive or not is another key factor, which is the performance of the actors. Criminal investigation dramas have very high requirements for actors' acting skills. Not only must their own performance be on point, but they must also be able to catch the scene.
These four points are precisely the most obvious advantages of "Snow Maze". Whether it is from the perspective of the main creative team or the cast, this drama has a strong potential to be a hit. As long as it is broadcast smoothly, the popularity will definitely surpass "Cyclone" 》.
