"The Storm Chaser", which was temporarily renamed, started airing on CCTV last night.
It seems that the showrunners want to continue the good luck of the "Pretenders" series and achieve broadcast results similar to "The Pretender" and "The Rebels".
But if you want to stand out in popular dramas such as " and Feng Xing ", "Flower Order" and " Flames ", you can't just rely on a resounding name.
Today we will take a look, what is the quality of this drama?
As soon as I opened "Storm Chaser", my first impression was that the picture was very high-quality, the plot was fast-paced, and there were climaxes one after another.
I am usually used to watching dramas at 2x speed, but this time I had to lower the speed many times so as not to miss the plot.
is only the first episode. Wei Ruolai has been arranged to help the gang boss check the accounts. He was dragged into stock trading by Aunt Zhou and found out that someone was short selling. Shen Jinzhen failed to rescue his comrades and escaped from the investigation with the help of Wei Ruolai. Wei Ruolai went to the Central Bank for an interview and other plots.
No wonder some netizens commented, "The first episode of this drama is equivalent to three or four episodes of other dramas."
What is even more worthy of recognition is that the plot logic of this drama echoes back and forth, and it pays great attention to details.
For example, The plot of Aunt Zhou suddenly pulling Wei Ruolai to trade stocks seems a bit abrupt at first glance, but in fact it leads to Shen Tunan's plan to manipulate stock prices and acquire shares.
After Wei Ruolai was rejected by the central bank due to background reasons, the reason why he allowed Shen Tunan to take the risk of hiring him as an assistant was precisely because Wei Ruolai saw through Shen Tunan's plot when he was trading stocks with Aunt Zhou.
Looking at Shen Tunan again, although he accepted Wei Ruolai as his assistant, it did not eliminate his suspicion of Wei Ruolai.
He asked his secretary to find Wei Ruolai's teachers and classmates to find out the situation, and also retrieve Wei Ruolai's library borrowing records.
This background tone is really cautious. If Wei Ruolai has any tendency, it will definitely be reflected in the books he usually borrows.
also has great details in shaping Shen Yuanzhen.
When Shen Jinzhen pretended to be an old lady and raped her, he didn't shoot her twice, but added a special shot.
This detail immediately makes Shen Jinzhen’s calm and rigorous character vividly appear on the page.
In addition to the compact and powerful plot, this drama also put a lot of thought into its service.
A very typical scene is the scene of Wei Ruolai getting up in a panic on the morning when he went to the Central Bank for an interview.
He hurried downstairs from the cramped attic to wash up. When he brushed his teeth, he used tooth powder in an iron box (there were obvious signs of wear on the box).
After washing, Wei Ruolai took off his torn cotton-padded jacket with a white collar (it felt like the collar still had oil stains from not being washed for a long time...it was too real), and put on his only shirt, shirtless and shivering.
(He was shirtless at first, Wang Yibo really doesn’t treat the audience as outsiders, haha~)
When putting on socks, Wei Ruolai found that there was a big hole in the socks, and the leather on the cheap leather shoes had almost fallen off.
Before leaving the house, Aunt Zhou brought Wei Ruolai a black suit.
But this black suit is very big. Even if Wei Ruolai wears a shirt, sweater and jacket underneath, the shoulders of the suit are still slumped.
Because the neighbors on Qibao Street are not rich, Aunt Zhou can't find a suit that suits Wei Ruolai's size, so she can only try her best to help him dress decently.
This kind of friendship that goes all out to help neighbors is warmly reflected in the details of the suit.
The plot and Fu Huadao lay a good foundation for this drama. Another big test is the acting skills of the actors.
plays Shen Tunan's Wang Yang, and his acting skills are as solid as ever.
This time he is not as dramatic as "Chen Ni" in "Rebel", but more rational and calm, in line with the personality of a financial boss.
Li Qin is an eye-catcher, playing both the beautiful young lady and the cold and neat female sniper vividly.
Some people have controversy over Wang Yibo's acting skills, but I feel that judging from his current performance, it has not hindered the drama, and there are still surprises in many places.
When he acted the part where he had to wake up early for an interview with his head in a chicken coop, was so natural, without any idol baggage, just like a migrant worker in real life.
When Wei Ruolai was admitted to the Central Bank and followed Shen Tunan to toast to the boss, Wang Yibo also well interpreted the fear and sincerity of a newcomer in the workplace.
However, what surprised me even more was the second and third female leads.
According to the cast list, the second female lead is Su Cishu played by Gao Lu, who is Shen Tunan’s wife.
Although in the current updated plot, Su Cishu does not have many roles, mainly helping Shen Jinzhen take care of his clothes at the Christmas party.
But Gao Lu’s appearance is so beautiful!
No wonder Lin Xiaoniang, who was so fascinated by the red wolf, looks even more charming when she changes into a small dress!
The third female lead is Aunt Zhou played by Yang Kun.
Although Yang Kun is not as young and beautiful as Gao Lu, she really made the role of Aunt Zhou come alive. When
pulled Wei Ruolai to buy stocks, Aunt Zhou's eyes were filled with the desire to get rich.
When the stock fell and she lost money, Aunt Zhou's anger and complaints were exactly the same as those in real life.
But Aunt Zhou is a clear-minded and true-hearted person. Although she lost money, she did not blame Wei Ruolai, but helped Wei Ruolai from the bottom of her heart.
The characters in Qibao Street are all good, they don’t have many scenes, but they are full of fireworks.
If you like spy dramas, then this drama is worth watching ~
