Among Chinese dramas, which type of works is the most immersive and can make people marvel?
is undoubtedly a criminal investigation suspense drama.
From the classics "Starscream" and "Conquer" to the recent "White Night", "" and "The Hidden Corner", the craze of criminal investigation suspense dramas has never stopped.
In the past two years, the Chinese drama market has also seen the emergence of good criminal investigation dramas such as "Crazy" and "The Long Season".
But by 2024, this type of subject matter has taken a low-key route. Except for one " dislocated " that achieved good results, other criminal investigation suspense dramas have failed. How does
break the situation?
seems to have no choice but to wait for the upcoming drama to be released.
Among them, the one that is highly anticipated by the audience is "Above Dark Clouds" starring Sun Li . She has teamed up with her old partner Luo Jin . The scale of the trailer is off the charts. At first glance, it seems that it is going to be a hit.
However, there is no news about Sun Li's new drama, but gold medal director Zhang Yimou has brought a new work.
32 episodes of the criminal investigation suspense drama "Snow Maze" has officially launched investment. The drama has a strong lineup and is personally supervised by Zhang Yimou. Needless to say, it is powerful. It seems that this year's annual drama king is coming!
The story is tough and the characters are ruthless. This criminal investigation drama is exciting enough
"Snow Maze" tells the story of a sudden drug crisis in Harlan City in Northeast China in 1997. A seemingly ordinary murder case involved a secretive and arrogant group. drug gang.
In order to clean up all illegal and criminal activities, Harlan City temporarily established an anti-drug police team to safeguard social justice. The young criminal policemen walked forward in the ice and snow, vowing to make drugs disappear from Harlan.
As we all know, if a criminal investigation suspense drama wants to win a good reputation, the plot content is very important. Combined with the trailer, the new drama has at least two highlights:
The first highlight: large-scale criminal investigation.
What is the most interesting thing about criminal investigation dramas? There is no doubt that it is an "explosion" scale.
Regardless of the subject matter or the crime scene, what the audience sees is thrilling visual effects.
The trailer for the new drama surprised me right from the beginning.
In the dark night, a seemingly ordinary traffic accident occurred on the road, and a pair of bloody hands struggled to climb on the railway track.
The next second, the camera switches to show a person holding a string of beads praying to God and worshiping Buddha, while a human life evaporates on the other side.
Drug production, drug trafficking, firearms and ammunition, all kinds of illegal and criminal activities emerge in the streets, alleys and basements, while in the dark corners, all sins are buried.
Murder, vendetta, rape, human experimentation, when blood soaks the entire river, when will the buried truth be able to see the light of day again?
The trailer alone is terrifying to watch. The criminals are arrogant and domineering, and their methods of committing crimes are unimaginably brutal. My adrenaline surged after watching it.
standard, arranged.
The second most interesting thing: Past events in the Northeast.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Northeast has now become a fertile ground for criminal investigation and suspense stories.
From "Undocumented Crime" to "The Long Season", Northeastern can be called the "traffic password" of this genre.
The cold and freezing environment in Northeast China naturally matches the tense atmosphere when solving crimes, bringing a stronger tension to the audience.
More importantly, the wild tension inherent in Northeastern people will make people even more excited in the fight scenes and arresting criminals. The
trailer has a very powerful style, and the thrilling showdown between good and evil greatly enhances the appeal of this new drama.
It can be said that in this new work "Snow Maze", various forces are complicated, and the villains are all high-intelligence tough guys. Just looking at the trailer series, there are constant dramas and conflicts. I believe that the main film will be more exciting.
All the members are talented.
The story is good, and the actors must also be excellent. The starring cast of "Snow Maze" is not gorgeous, but they have ace acting skills.
ranks first, Li Naiwen .
Li Naiwen, a powerful figure in the Mesozoic era, is very powerful. Any role in his hands can be played lifelike and superbly.
In "South to North", Jia Jinlong, played by Li Naiwen, is cunning and cunning. Even though there are not many scenes, he vividly shows the character's every step.
In the new drama, Lin Zhida, played by Li Naiwen, seems to be a villain. In the trailer, he is walking menacingly in the center of the team, with a boss aura.
In the stills, Lin Zhida looked at the leather box in his hand with a hesitant expression, not knowing what big thing was brewing in his heart.
Li Naiwen's acting skills have always been reassuring, and with him in the new drama, there is no shortage of good drama.
is second, Liu Wei.
Liu Wei, a national first-class actor, has been involved in many dramas in the past two years, including Wan Shan Tang in "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes", Wu Jianshe in "Wind Blowing Pinellia", and Liu Liben in "The Road of Life".
The veteran actor can always use his simple and honest appearance to play the "villain" villain who makes the audience's blood pressure soar.
In the new drama, the veteran actor becomes the detective Xin Tiegang. In the
trailer, Xin Tiegang stood solemnly in the office, his face calm and sad, looking at the papers flying in front of him and falling into deep thought.
Liu Wei is upright, he can stand up to the role easily, and his acting skills are stable.
ranked third, Liang Guanhua.
The famous "Di Renjie" is also here.
The image of Detective Dee created by Liang Guanhua, a national first-class actor, in "Detective Di Renjie" is still a classic character in the minds of audiences.
This veteran actor has exquisite acting skills and is good at using micro-expressions and movements to convey the psychological activities of the character. His ability to shape the character is beyond doubt.
In the new drama, Liang Guanhua plays Zheng’s father. In the stills of
, he has a simple and honest smile and looks like a good old man. I wonder what highlights will be shown to Father Zheng as a family member of a police officer? Looking forward to it.
fourth place, Ding Jiali.
Here comes another ruthless character.
Veteran drama star Ting Jiali's acting skills are exquisite. The official media once commented on her:
The films Ding Jiali stars in can be described as "the drama is as strong as wine and the person is as light as chrysanthemum", because the characters she portrays are as bold and delicate as flash floods. Sometimes it's like a trickle.
This is enough to show that Ding Jiali's performance is superb. With her joining the cast in the new drama, her acting skills will not be inferior.
is fifth, Huang Jingyu .
Huang Jingyu, who has been described as "a man who served in the military in the entertainment industry", has a muscular body and a strong sense of strength that coincides with the image of the detective Zheng Bei in the new drama.
Huang Jingyu has an upright appearance. He has a unique understanding of the role of a soldier, and this type of character has always been his comfort zone in acting. I believe that this time, Huang Jingyu will once again bring different surprises to the audience.
At the same time, Zhang Yu, Wang Ziqi , Cheng Yong, Cheng Yong and other powerful actors will join the new drama, bringing a head-on show of strength to the audience.
Conclusion
This year’s criminal investigation suspense dramas are a bit low-key, and "Snow Maze" is expected to bring this genre back to its peak with three major highlights.
First, it is the core of the plot.
The story with the Northeast as the background has a wild nature. Judging from the trailer, the scale of the drama is off the charts, with an endless stream of wonderful scenes, which can definitely satisfy the audience's demands for drama.
Second, the creative team is strong.
A good creative team is the key to ensuring the quality of the drama.
"Snow Maze" director Lu Xing directed "Undocumented Crime" with a high score of 8.0 on Douban, and producer Zhang Yimou is a well-known director. With these two strong forces joining forces, the new work is definitely a hit.
Third, the actors are extraordinary.
"Snow Maze" has invited a group of acting masters, a combination of national first-class actors + veteran actors + powerful actors, which makes the new drama's acting skills full of confidence.
is now just waiting for the drama to be officially finalized and successfully broadcast. While leading the ratings, it will once again set off a craze for domestic criminal investigation dramas.
