Looking back at the Chinese drama market in the past few years, there are only a few ancient and modern puppets, suspense dramas and criminal investigation dramas, but they can steadily produce hits every year.
For example, " Anti-Crime Storm " starring Sun Honglei in 2021 directly stretched the scale and attracted much attention once it was broadcast.
There is also the 2023 anti-gang drama "Hurry", which became an instant hit, allowing people to see more possibilities for character creation, and allowing middle-aged talents such as Zhang Songwen and Gao Ye to usher in the spring of their careers.
But this year, " Ice Hunting " has polarized reputations. Even though Zhang Songwen has a stable acting performance, it still scored a bad score of 4.3 on Douban.
And " The Dark Fire " starring Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng, even if it was on CCTV, it did not reach the level of a hit, and these powerful casts were blinded.
It seems that there is still a need for dramas to be aired to alleviate the disappointment of the audience.
For example, "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow" starring Zhang Songwen and Rong Zishan, "Between Thoughts" starring Tong Dawei, and "Above the Dark Clouds" starring Sun Li's partner Luo Jin, all raised the audience's expectations.
However, there is still no news about the release of the above-mentioned dramas, but another work is coming first.
reported on the Internet that the criminal investigation suspense drama "The Unspeakable" will land in Taochang on May 8 and will be broadcast exclusively on the entire network. It has a strong lineup and rich highlights.
After watching the trailer, I concluded that this drama must be the biggest "dark horse" in May.
html An old case from 1621 years ago, "brothers" turned against each other
"Untold" tells the story of a murder case at the Gupan Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative 21 years ago that was full of suspicions. The police sent undercover policemen to lurk among the gangs involved in the case.
is in the final stages of the secret arrest. The identity of the undercover policeman was bizarrely exposed, and a retired old policeman also disappeared.
The case is shrouded in mystery, and the old policeman's daughter Zheng Dongyu ( Li Yitong ), with the help of young undercover detective Gao Yang ( Ou Hao ), uncovered the truth that has been sealed for many years.
The trailer gave the audience a little shock at the beginning.
At the beginning of the scene, Gao Yang was still eating noodles in front of Lei Naiwu (played by Zhang Guoqiang), and asked, "Do you think we have feelings after 8 years?" It was like a test, but also like a common conversation.
The next second, Gao Yang looked pale and was buried. Did this happen immediately after it was released?
Immediately afterwards, the scene took the audience to the murder case at the supply and marketing cooperative 21 years ago. In the camera, Liu Qing (Liu Yijun) saw the police photo on the phone and closed the phone for an instant, his eyes turned blood red.
What did he find?
As the camera advanced, it turned out that the person in the picture was an undercover policeman. Liu Qing quickly shouted to the people outside the window, "Take someone behind to intercept him." It can be imagined that this supply and marketing cooperative is not simple, and the undercover policeman is also very dangerous. .
As time flew by, Lei Naiwu was arrested, saying "It's so hard to be a good person", but his expression was sinister.
As the screen flipped, shootings, falls, and stalkings occurred one after another, but the man behind them has not yet revealed his true face. What is the truth?
Who betrayed the undercover policeman back then?
At the end of the trailer, the camera shines a bright red light on Gao Yang's face, and he is seen panting heavily, with his body and face covered in mud, which corresponds to being "buried alive" in the opening scene. It is so shocking.
It can be said that "Untold" tells the story of the difficulty of police investigating cases from a novel perspective, and also describes the dangers of undercover police officers. It is full of suspense and has several hooks in just one trailer.
If the story in the trailer is fascinating, then the actors of the show are definitely the biggest magic weapon to retain the audience.
Ou Hao stars in the lead role, and Zhang Guoqiang and Liu Yijun are too good to play.
As we all know, criminal investigation dramas have always tested the strength of actors, and "The Unspeakable" is very well-intentioned in casting. It not only invited veteran drama stars to act as co-stars, but also traffic stars They all also have good acting skills.
ranks first, Zhang Guoqiang.
National first-class actor Zhang Guoqiang, this veteran actor's acting skills are so stable. In the recently popular "Harbin 1944", his role as underground liaison Qian Chongli made the audience sigh.
In the new drama "Untold", the character Lei Naiwu he plays has changed from Qian Chongli's gentle and upright character. As the villain, he has a sinister and vicious look. In the trailer of
, Lei Naiwu can tell with just one look that this person is not easy to deal with. He has shaved off his head, and he beats people with great vigor. Even his expression is showing his strength, and he punches to the flesh, and he looks extremely fierce.
In other words, it is reassuring to watch old actors acting. The face-swapping acting shocked the audience. It looks like what it is, and the acting is quite stable.
is second, Liu Yijun.
As a top actor in the uncle circle, Liu Yijun has played too many deeply rooted roles, from Zhou Yaping in "Serious Case Group Six" to He Yong in "Sweeping the Crime", to Nong Zhanshan in "The Mountain's Daughter", Liu Yijun's acting skills are obvious to the audience.
In the new drama "The Unspeakable", the villain Liu Qing played by Liu Yijun and Lei Naiwu played by Zhang Guoqiang can be said to be two heroes in parallel. They are full of sinister energy and have a face written all over them. In the trailer of
, looking at the person at the bottom of the pit, he glanced over and signaled to his subordinates, and lightly said "bury it", with an indifferent expression, treating human life as nothing.
This kind of villain who kills without blinking is in the hands of Liu Yijun. This drama is so interesting.
is third, Ou Hao.
Ou Hao, who performed well in the May Day movie " Peacekeeping Riot Team ", plays the role of a policeman again.
In the new drama "Untold", he plays the role of undercover policeman Gao Yang. When delivering information to the police, he looks around with vigilant eyes. If there is any sign of trouble, he immediately turns his head to check, with sharp eyes and hidden secrets.
When he was working as an undercover agent, he laughed loudly when he saw everyone's illegal behavior. He looked very cheerful, but he had his own calculations in his heart. This role is not simple.
ranked fourth, Li Yitong.
Li Yitong is a regrettable capable actress. Her acting skills are not bad, but she lacks a masterpiece that really made her popular. Finally, she waited for "The Untold".
In the new drama, Li Yitong plays the heroine Zheng Dongyu, the daughter of an old policeman who disappeared 21 years ago.
When he learned that the skeleton found in the mountains might be his missing father, Zheng Dongyu turned around with tears in his eyes and said firmly, "That's not my dad."
Li Yitong has a special tenacity that matches the character of Zheng Dongyu in the new drama It's a perfect fit, and with her ability, she must be able to perform it with ease.
is fifth, Zhao Yang .
Gongsun Ce in "Young Bao Qingtian 3", Yu Shanqing in " Dajiang Dahe ", Cao Jianjun in "Police Honor". The acting skills of Zhao Yang, a powerful figure in the Mesozoic era, cannot be underestimated.
In the new drama "Unspeakable", Zhao Yang will play the role of policeman Li Dengyuan. Looking at the stills, his eyes are full of scrutiny, and an invisible sense of oppression hits his face. Zhao Yang must be playing a role again.
In addition, "The Unspeakable" also invited a number of powerful actors such as Yang Jue, Hu Lianxin, Wang Tonghui, and Zheng Jiabin to star. This drama of group portraits is so exciting.
Conclusion
Unlike other genre dramas that fluctuate with market trends, police and criminal suspense dramas have always attracted audiences.
The three most important highlights of the police drama are all in this drama.
First, solid script support.
The story is different from the common police dramas nowadays. The drama starts from the undercover case many years ago and uncovers a large network that covers several years. It has a lot of suspense and many forces. I think both the main plot and the branch plot can bring out the full tension.
Second, good picture texture.
The suspenseful atmosphere is online. Not only must the costumes and scenes be full of atmosphere, but also the sound effects, filters and the process of solving the case must be shot to create a breathless sense of drama.
Just from the trailer of the drama, you can see that the picture quality is good, the atmosphere is well-done, and it is full of attractions.
Third, excellent acting skills. Whether
can convey the essence of a good story depends entirely on the leading actors of this drama. The new drama uses a combination of young actors + veteran actors to easily control traffic and reputation. Let's wait and see!
I wonder if you want to watch this drama?
