More and more Chinese drama types are coming out of the industry, and there are new types that are going to benefit the audience!
There is a genre that has suddenly emerged this year - spy war dramas.
In the past, spy dramas fell into silence because of popular stars taking the lead. Nowadays, the addition of traffic stars has brought higher popularity and attention to the series.
Increasingly high-quality scripts and steadily improving acting skills are the key to these dramas gaining a foothold.
There are many spy war dramas to be aired next, but there is one type that looks very similar to spy war dramas, but is very different, and that is the anti-special drama.
The biggest difference between these two types of works is that most of the spy war dramas are set before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. It is very difficult to carry out spy war work.
The background of anti-special dramas is often set after the founding of New China. Instead, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open, and the working methods have changed greatly.
Previously, there were not many works with such themes in the Chinese drama market. The next major anti-super drama to be aired is enough to make this kind of themes extremely popular.
It is reported online that 39 episodes of the anti-super drama "Dark Night and Dawn" have been reviewed and certified and will be broadcast soon. The ruthless drama is finally here!
1, new police officer + ace agent, the anti-special theme is too eye-catching
Because the story background of "Dark Night and Dawn" is set in 1950, when New China has been established, therefore, the work of our personnel has already ushered in Earth-shaking changes.
The former underground workers have become the new era police standing in the light, and the young people who are dedicated to serving the country can join the right team openly.
The main perspective of this drama focuses on the first generation of public security soldiers in New China in Shanghai, telling the story of their battle of wits and courage with Chiang Kai-shek's agents.
After we became the ruling party, Chiang Kai-shek's team was barely surviving. However, Chiang Kai-shek, who attempted to subvert New China, still sent many spies to lurk throughout the country.
Shanghai, which is highly economically and politically developed, has always been a battleground. Here, spies are more concentrated and anti-espionage work is more representative.
However, the group of public security soldiers is very large, so "Dark Night and Dawn" chose a master-disciple combination with the old and the new.
is a rookie policeman who has a high IQ but failed in the old society. He gained confidence and grew up in the new China.
is an experienced ace veteran agent who has many years of experience in fighting enemies.
The two teamed up to solve various difficulties and uncovered the spies hiding in the dark one after another. In the process, there was also a run-in between the two generations.
It can be said that whether it is the theme or story of "Dark Night and Dawn", or even the conflicts that may arise from the old and the new and the growth of mutual influence, they are all innovative and worth watching.
Two, five actors are in charge, and the acting insurance is increased
. The cast is a major trump card of "Dark Night and Dawn", which not only brings high popularity to this drama, but also ensures the level of acting skills.
The male protagonist Chen Zheyuan is a hot new generation of young actors, with good looks and temperament, and his acting skills are not bad. Looking at the trailer, Lin Shaobai, played by Chen Zheyuan, has a sense of age, and you have already entered the scene.
The alertness and stability in his eyes can also make people feel the character's innate professional sense. It must be very immersive for him to play the role of a high-IQ policeman.
The heroine Xing Fei is also an actor who is underestimated by everyone. Although she has appeared in mostly romantic dramas since her debut, she has also accumulated enough experience.
's acting skills will not be a hindrance in this drama, and his good looks can improve the overall level. Thinking about it, it feels right.
However, what I am most looking forward to is the performance of these five actors.
ranks first, Nie Yuan .
It is Nie Yuan who plays the ace agent in "Dark Night and Dawn".
I have seen him play the big pig-hoofed emperor in "Story of Yanxi Palace", also watched him play the secret agent of Shuangshang Online in "The Wind Rises in Longxi", and also watched him play the domineering character in "The Family" Army commander.
It is precisely because there is no pressure to play any role that people are particularly looking forward to the agent played by Nie Yuan.
is second, Ni Dahong .
Do you still remember the father Su Daqiang in " is good "?
Ni Dahong, a late bloomer, made his debut with the role of Su Daqiang, but after that he quickly broke the audience's inherent impression of him and challenged more different characters.
Ni Dahong, who is wearing a suit and glasses in "Dark Night and Dawn" this time, looks like a successful businessman in every gesture. There is an unpredictable scheming in
's eyes, as well as scrutiny and questioning of the person in front of him. This kind of performance is obviously the icing on the cake in a spy drama.
ranked third, Wang Jinsong .
Wang Jinsong, who can also play any role, has a strong aura when he plays a spy drama.
has a sense of justice when he plays a good guy, and a sense of violence when he plays a bad guy. But looking at Wang Jinsong in the trailer, he is both good and evil, and has an elusive sense of mystery. This is undoubtedly the most suspenseful character before the drama begins.
ranked fourth, Li Mengnan.
Another actor whose acting skills are far undervalued is fellow actor Li Mengnan.
Since his debut, he has played Kang Zizi in " The Legend of Luliang Heroes ", also played the loyal and somewhat rustic Chief Jing in "Sunshine Blooms Like a Flower", and also appeared in the spy drama " The spy in " code 1949".
It can be said that themes such as "Dark Night and Dawn" are not unfamiliar to Li Mengnan. The only difference is that in a similar plot again, he became the leader of our team and portrayed the image of the deputy chief of the police. With a sense of majesty.
ranks fifth, Wang Zhiwen .
Just look at Zheng Lanting, played by Wang Zhiwen in the trailer. He is wearing black-rimmed glasses and a robe and mandarin jacket. It is difficult not to think that he is a teacher who has no fight with the world.
But this is exactly Zheng Lanting’s disguise.
has an impressive scene. He tells the person opposite in a phone booth, "The fish has bitten the bait." Based on the background of this drama, only enemy spies need to use code words to exchange information and intelligence.
With a top actor like Wang Zhiwen playing the villain, I really can’t help but sweat for the protagonist!
Conclusion
Anti-special dramas are more fresh because of their different backgrounds, but the fundamental advantage of attracting audiences is the same as spy war dramas.
The unpredictable story direction and the unpredictable character settings leave enough suspense.
And this "Dark Night and Dawn" has an all-star cast. Any actor chosen will be a solid supporting role. The roles they play will obviously not be dispensable and marginalized characters.
To be honest, I have been intrigued by this group drama.
Do you think this drama can be a hit?
