Ma Yili and Tong Dawei's " dislocation " successfully promoted this type of subject matter to a craze after it was broadcast.
Who will take advantage of this wave of popularity first?
Sun Li and Luo Jin's "Above the Dark Clouds" has been officially announced for a long time, but it has yet to be seen by everyone. It is perfect to air it at a time when the subject matter is booming.
Judging from the setting of this drama, drug trafficking cases and serial murder cases are all linked to police disappearance cases. Just watching the trailer, you will be pleasantly surprised by the confusing suspense.
Another film is "Snow Maze" brought by Huang Jingyu's partner Zhang Yimou.
In this work, there are no bizarre cases. It focuses on the battle of wits and courage between the police and drug dealers. It is a more pure criminal investigation and anti-drug drama. The main creator of
is good at it, the main story line is clear, the supporting cast is bursting, and the real king is here!
A different anti-drug team, three highlights that ignite expectations
After watching the trailer, I was deeply attracted by the three highlights of this drama.
01, a temporarily formed anti-drug team.
Yes, you read that right, the anti-drug team in "Snow Maze" was temporarily formed.
This drama sets the background of the story in 1997. At that time, Haran in Northeast China had not been exposed to drug trafficking cases in which many people died, and these murders one after another were all related to the new drug methamphetamine.
So in order to deal with this sudden drug crisis, Ha Lan temporarily formed an anti-drug team composed mainly of young criminal police officers.
The confusion of coming into contact with a new case, the ignorance of drug trafficking groups, and the continuous occurrence of drug-related murders all challenged this team.
Different from the experienced anti-drug policemen in previous Chinese dramas who fully understand the psychology of drug dealers, what this drama presents to everyone is precisely the beginning and growth of the anti-drug team.
02, drug dealers fighting among themselves.
During the investigation, the efforts of the anti-drug squad were on the one hand, and what successfully helped them solve the case was the internal fighting among the drug trafficking groups.
In order to obtain higher profits, someone wants to obtain the formula from the poison maker and then kill him. The police really need to take action. This internal fight will make drug dealers fight to the death and expose their weaknesses.
This kind of plot setting with its own conflicts and contradictions will bring a lot of highlights to the series.
03, find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Throughout the whole situation, in addition to the anti-drug team, there is also a mysterious figure named Xiao Ma.
Except for the fact that people from the drug cartel have had contact with him, the anti-drug team does not know the identity of Xiao Ma at all, but from the trailer, it is known that Xiao Ma is an acquaintance of the anti-drug team.
The other party has always been very cautious, so that when his identity was finally exposed, even the police couldn't help but sigh that he had hidden it well enough.
And this role will be the biggest suspense of the show.
2, the most beautiful criminal investigation drama, the casting is so surprising
Huang Jingyu, who plays the role of a young drug police officer in this drama, is an actor who has served in the military in the entertainment industry. He plays the role of a policeman, which will not make people look uncomfortable at all. , on the contrary, it feels more immersive.
Before this, Huang Jingyu had also acted in works such as "Icebreaker" and "Punishment". The themes and roles are his specialties.
Another leading actor, Zhang Yu, has always been a drama star but not a celebrity because he played a small role in " I am not the god of medicine ". Later, he played a leading role in " The Unknown " and " The Calm Waves " and other works.
He plays the villain, and as you can imagine, the acting is full of tension.
Among the supporting actors, there is Xie Keyin, who came from a girl group. Her appearance in the trailer is impressive. The acting and action scenes are all on point, and he portrays the character without caring about his image, and he already looks like a capable actor.
When someone is born as an idol and enters the entertainment industry, the biggest fear is not being able to throw away the idol baggage, but obviously, Xie Keyin has left it far.
In addition, this drama also stars Lin Boyang, a new actor who has appeared in works such as " Anchor River ", " Article 20 ", " Sniper ", etc., with both good looks and acting skills.
There is also Wei Chunhong Lianlian who has appeared in the "大江大河" series. This time she plays the boss lady, but she lacks the shrewd background and becomes a sinister villain.
Liu Wei, who has acted in "The Wind Blowing Pinellia" and "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Homes", will play the role of the captain of the anti-narcotics team in the drama.
There are also Liang Guanhua, a national first-class actor who has played Dee Renjie and Zhang Damin, Ding Jiali, a professional villain who has won the Golden Rooster Award, and so on. When combined together, they are a ceiling-level king!
Third, the unprecedented production team
The reason why the production team of "Snow Maze" is unprecedented is precisely because of the film's producer - Zhang Yimou.
The film and television industry is divided into different types of works. Movies are ranked at the top, followed by TV series, and then web dramas and Internet dramas.
As a leading director in the film industry, Zhang Yimou did not pay attention to TV series at first.
But this is also because compared to TV series, film works are of higher quality and have higher requirements for artistic creation. Although TV series have a wide audience, their quality is often mediocre.
Not only does Zhang Yimou himself not make TV series, he also once advised "Mou Girl" Zhang Ziyi not to make TV series either.
However, with the frequent emergence of excellent Chinese dramas, the status of this genre has finally changed.
Not only did the Mou girls end up filming TV series, but even Zhang Yimou couldn't restrain his creative desire and ended up directing TV series.
"Snow Maze" is his first work as a producer. Although he did not join as a director, he came to protect the overall quality and brought a strong gimmick to the show.
You can feel from the trailer that when this "Snow Maze" presents the snowy scenery of Northeast China, no matter in some shooting angles or shooting styles, you can find the shadow of Zhang Yimou's " on the cliff ".
Like works such as "Manslaughter" and "The Disappearance of ", although Chen Sicheng did not direct the film himself, as a producer, the film retains his unique personal style.
In addition to Zhang Yimou, director Lu Xing has also directed similar films such as "Undocumented Crime" and "The Returned Daughter". His personal strength is also obvious to all.
These two people alone have already insured this drama, and the screenwriter is Zhang Yuanang, who has written "Ice Rain and Fire" and "The Dark One", and is no stranger to this kind of subject matter. .
The comprehensive strength of the creative team is undoubtedly the most capable among domestic criminal investigation dramas.
Conclusion
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a show with such a powerful configuration.
Most domestic dramas, if they can take advantage of the main creative, script, and lineup, will have a chance to get out of the industry, but this "Snow Maze" takes advantage of all three.
This directly eliminates the possibility of overturning, and there is a high probability that there will be another wave of drama watching and topic discussion.
was originally worried that after "The Long Season", the upper limit of such themes would be raised, and it would be difficult to have high-quality collections comparable to it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yimou directly brought ruthless goods.
"Snow Maze" is worth watching!
So, are you looking forward to this top-notch criminal investigation drama?
