viewers have been waiting for almost 5 years, and finally " Qing Yu Nian 2 " has come to meet the audience.
Now, the news of the suspense drama "White Night Chase 2" has finally been released.
html After 2007, "White Night" has become the ceiling of domestic suspense dramas. Even though "The Hidden Corner", "The Silent Truth", and " The Long Season " have become popular one after another, the audience still forgets. Can't beat the ceiling of criminal investigation suspense drama "White Night".According to the latest news, Pan Yueming and Wang Longzheng's "White Night Chase 2" will meet the audience this summer. Judging from the various materials and information released by this drama, "White Night 2" is not to continue the hit IP, but to break the ceiling of the hit level.
It was precisely because of the success of the previous film that the audience was so dissatisfied that CCTV even came out to publish an article and use the topic to promote the second film.
html In the second half of 2023, a crew member of "White Night 2" revealed that the second part has been produced and is expected to be released to the audience next year, that is, in 2024.Judging from this rhythm alone, "White Night 2" is already a flop. At this time last year, many fans of the drama still couldn't believe that this work that had not been heard from for a long time was actually brought back.
The suspense market is booming, and veteran IPs are gaining popularity
In fact, the launch of "White Night 2" has always been difficult. The actors' schedules are not suitable, the subject matter is sensitive, and the content is difficult to cross the line. If it is a simple criminal investigation, Not bad, but the starting story of "White Night" involves the issue of stance and attributes within the system.
Netizens asked Pan Yueming many times in the early days to confirm the follow-up of "White Night". Pan Yueming, as the leading actor, also responded ambiguously, saying many times that the "White Night 2" project was difficult.
Director Wang Wei even directly expressed, "I personally don't plan to continue doing it from a director's point of view."
But who would have thought that in just a few years, suspense themes would become the "hard currency" in the domestic drama industry. When niche themes with limited reputation and market gain popularity and traffic, the project of "White Night 2" will be launched Joining the Clippers, as a veteran IP, met the audience under the promotion of the market.
The key is that the plot quality of "White Night 2" is guaranteed and the cast is interesting. It is not difficult to surpass the first part.
director Wang Wei is a powerful director in his own right. The film "White Night" came out that year and directly scored a 9-point reputation. After "White Night", Wang Wei's " Secret and Great" "" became a hit, and the director's "Life is Like the First Meeting" was released and then withdrawn, but it still reflects Wang Wei's aesthetic standards.
With Wang Wei's ability, "White Night 2" will only surpass the first one in terms of rhythm and texture.
As for the plot content, the second part also has an eye-catching hook that the audience will never forget.
The starting point of the story of "White Night Chase" is a massacre. The carefree Guan Hongyu (played by Pan Yueming) became the wanted criminal in this tragedy. His twin brother Guan Hongfeng (played by Pan Yueming) is the captain of the criminal investigation detachment and vows to find out. After the real culprit of the massacre, Guan Hongfeng still participated in investigating various major cases as a consultant.
But what is not known is that Guan Hongfeng suffers from "dark phobia". Guan Hongfeng who appeared in the police force in the dark night was actually Guan Hongyu pretending to be. This season of
is still a series of unsolved cases, and the focus is still on the truth of the massacre. The most important thing is that the audience wants to know the positions of Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu. Whether they are decent or villains is the core attraction of "White Night".
The original cast members returned, and the attractions directly attracted
. As for the lineup, "White Night Chase 2" also invited the original cast members to return, ensuring a smooth and natural take-over.
actor Pan Yueming has excellent acting skills. Not only did he clearly differentiate the twin brothers Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu in the first film, he also showed that he can create different temperaments without looking at all. In the years since the first film ended, it has continued to produce hits.
html " Nu Qing Xiangxi " in 2019, " Yunnan Worm Valley " in 2021, " Kunlun Shrine " in 22 years, and "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" in 23 years all can prove that actor Pan Yueming is in the suspense adventure genre Adaptability in film and television dramas.His acting skills are calm and delicate, and he is better at creating complex characters and heavy roles. With Pan Yueming taking the lead, "White Night 2" will be stable.
What's more, Pan Yueming was photographed by Reuters last year while filming "White Night 2". Judging from Pan Yueming's condition, he has almost lost the best weight in recent years. He has a very calm temperament and is wearing a black outfit. The suspense flavor is very strong.
However, the audience has seen Pan Yueming's acting skills, which also shows that the audience has high expectations for Pan Yueming.
Another important actor in "White Night 2" is Wang Lungzheng. Wang Lungzheng has been keeping a low profile in recent years, but the audience still trusts his acting skills.
He plays Zhou Xun, the captain of the criminal investigation detachment. He is full of energy and wears sunglasses. He does not look like a common policeman, but more like a hot-tempered agent in a Hollywood movie. His image and aura are all eye-catching.
The important thing is that Zhou Xun, played by Wang Longzheng, is not a side character in a suspense drama. He is very smart and alert. Guan Hongfeng, as a consultant, seems to be the support brought by the police force, but in fact it is Zhou Xun who ties Guan Hongfeng to his side. , guarding Guan Hongfeng and finding Guan Hongyu's move.
In the plot of the second part, Zhou Xun will only bite harder. Whether Guan Hongfeng finds the evidence in advance, or Zhou Xun catches Guan Hongyu in advance, just the sequence determines the direction and even the ending of the story.
Although the news revealed about "White Night 2" is currently very limited, it is certain that "White Night 2" is coming in a big way, and it has the potential to rectify the suspense drama market and set a benchmark for domestic entertainment.
As for the cast, the partnership between Pan Yueming and Wang Zhenglong is the guarantee of high-profile scenes. The two of them talk to each other, seemingly casually, but in fact they test each other. This is the highlight of the two characters Guan Hongfeng and Zhou Xun. .
In short, the audience's expectations for "White Night 2" determine the launch trend of "White Night 2". I only hope that in a freer suspense market, "White Night 2" can completely let go of its hands and feet, not only showing the quality of the first part, but also showing a texture and scale that surpasses the first part.
As long as the above are guaranteed, I dare to say that it is Pan Yueming's turn to make a big splash in the suspense drama market.
