In domestic dramas, which subject matter makes the audience unable to put it down the most?
I guess it is a spy drama.
In the past, spy war dramas were the main ratings in the market. "The Conspiracy", "Insidious", " Kite ", etc. are all classic representatives that cannot be copied in Chinese dramas, especially Liu Yunlong's spy war drama, which is really fascinating. Don't get tired of watching it.
But in the past two years, the peak moment of spy war dramas has passed, and has even begun to go downhill.
" Stalker ", " Happy Face ", " Infinite ", etc. launched in 2023 have all made the audience tasteless and abandoned them. Even though the big names gathered together, they could not escape the fate of being complained about.
Until this year, "Storm Chaser" knocked on the long-lost door of spy dramas, allowing the audience to regain their hope in the spy drama genre.
Nowadays, spy war dramas will once again usher in ruthless dramas to save the market and restore reputation!
is jointly launched by the three major TV stations of Jiangsu, Oriental and Beijing, and the spy war drama "Guzhou" is broadcast simultaneously on Youku and Taochang.
The drama only aired 4 episodes and easily ranked first in satellite TV ratings. It seems that the glory of spy dramas is coming back!
There is a lot of fog, and the plot is too right.
"Lone Boat" tells the story of Gu Yizhong ( Zeng Shunxi), an underground worker of our party who was framed as a traitor. In order to prove his innocence, he came to Suzhou Wang Puppet Agent Station to work as an undercover agent.
On the way Gu Yizhong obtained enemy intelligence, he started a fierce battle of wits with the head of the secret service station Zhou Zhifei ( Zhang Songwen ).
As we all know, if a spy drama wants to attract audiences, it must start with a strong enough start.
"Lone Boat" uses two major scenes to immerse people in it.
The first big scene: the rescue is in progress.
At a rice store in Suzhou, underground elements of our party are discussing, planning to sneak into Yiyuan at night to launch a rescue operation. As an architect, Gu Yizhong volunteered to lead the team with his excellent memory and sense of space.
However, what they didn't know was that our party's Suzhou liaison station had already been planted with spies by Zhou Zhifei. From the moment the rescue team entered Yiyuan, they had already fallen into the trap of the spy station.
The mantis stalked the cicada, with the oriole behind. The rescue team was wiped out as expected, leaving only Gu Yizhong alive, who was beaten severely by Zhou Zhifei on the 90th when he was caught.
Oh my goodness, the protagonists of other spy dramas have always had a good reputation, hiding here and there and always escaping their pursuers. However, the protagonist of "Lone Boat" is beaten up when caught directly. This new drama is so extraordinary.
The villain is even more ruthless and doesn't talk much. No matter what family you are, all I want is information. If you don't speak, I will beat you until you speak. It's too cruel.
The second big drama: the middle game of the spy game.
The biggest fear in spy dramas is that the villain is brainless and the plot is as simple and childish as playing house.
’s new drama understands the audience’s thoughts very well. The main villain in the drama, Zhou Zhifei, has absolutely top-notch brain power.
knew that he couldn't get any information out of Gu Yizhong, so he directly set up a trap to release the person, and then sent people to monitor and follow him.
not only went all the way to our party's base camp in Taihu Lake, destroyed one of our party's bases, and labeled Gu Yizhong a traitor and traitor, he also uncovered a party spy from the No. 90 Special Agent Station.
At the same time, because they successfully labeled Gu Yizhong as a traitor, the Japanese military leaders took the opportunity to attack Gu Xixing, Gu Yizhong's father, and forced him to work for the Japanese army.
Killing three birds with one stone, Zhou Zhifei's frame-up was really wonderful.
It can be said that the plot of the first four episodes of the new drama is fast-paced, and both parties are undercover, which adds a great sense of suspense to the plot.
And Zhou Zhifei’s spy cell No. 8 planted in our party laid a big hook for the next plot.
The rhythm of the story is online, the IQs of both camps are online, and the male protagonist does not have the so-called aura of an idol drama. This kind of spy drama is interesting enough!
Zhang Songwen plays the villain again, and the scene is so surprising.
The spy war theme has always tested the acting skills of actors, and the performances of the talented actors in "Lone Boat" are really amazing. In just 4 episodes, 5 actors have already stood out. .
ranked first, Zhang Songwen.
Zhang Songwen is really suitable for the villain role. Whether it is Gao Qiqiang in "Hurry Up" or Huang Zongwei in " Ice Hunters ", Zhang Songwen's acting skills can be said to hold up half of the sky of the drama.
In the new drama, Zhou Zhifei, played by Zhang Songwen, has a big boss aura. He looks amiable when he smiles, but he is a real smiling tiger.
When he learned that the Japanese army was going to send his son to study in Kyoto, Zhou Zhifei was stunned at first, and then refused with a grateful smile. He lost his usual calmness, and everything from his eyes to his movements showed panic.
Zhang Songwen's acting skills are as reliable as ever, and it is definitely a pleasure to watch him play the villain.
is second, Zhang Fengyi .
Gu Xixing, played by national first-class actor Zhang Fengyi in the new drama, is not simple at first glance.
As the head of the Gu family, Gu Xixing has a serious aura, and carries everyone's heritage and demeanor in his every move.
When he was scolded by his friends and threatened not to be a traitor, Gu Xixing looked ashamed and widened his eyes to express his position. His anxious state vividly showed the character's inner helplessness.
Zhang Fengyi’s performance is really unsatisfactory. I wonder if there will be a scene between him and Zhang Songwen in the subsequent plot. I am looking forward to it.
ranks third, prints Xiaotian .
Yin Xiaotian impressed the audience deeply with his role as Long Tai in "The Journey to the West". His acting skills are natural and vivid. In the new drama, he plays the role of Hu Zhiping, an underground worker of our party.
However, Hu Zhiping also has another identity, that is, the university teacher who eloped with Gu Xixing's daughter.
In order to ensure the safety of his wife and smooth communication with the informant, Hu Zhiping analyzed the situation to his wife and talked about the various actions of the Japanese army. His face was calm but filled with resentment, and his eyes were full of worry for his wife.
Yin Xiaotian's ability is obvious to the audience, but his role in the first 4 episodes is not that many, and his performance is not that outstanding. I hope that in the subsequent plots, he will have more room to perform.
ranked fourth, Zhang Yao.
The role of Mrs. Weng played by the powerful Zhang Yao in the new drama is really amazing. When
first appeared, Ong Tai firmly assumed the role of a distressed woman, complaining about the hardships of her loved ones with deep hatred and hatred, with unbearable and sadness written all over her face.
However, who would have thought that this Mrs. Weng was actually a top agent. Watching her stab someone without changing her expression, and then her eyes were full of sternness and she said threatening words in an understatement was really creepy.
At the same time, this character is also Zhou Zhifei’s first love, so there is something exciting to watch now.
ranks fifth, Zhao Yi .
The strength of drama star Zhao Yi should not be underestimated. He plays the role of Wang Mingzhong, the chief of the engineering section of our party's enemy in the play. His sharp eyes look extremely majestic and full of aura.
Although there are not many scenes of Zhao Yi in the first four episodes, his appearance adds many highlights to the series.
In addition, Zeng Shunxi, Chen Duling, Wang Yuwen, Ye Qing and other powerful actors all gave wonderful performances in the drama. This spy drama is still very interesting.
Conclusion
In the past two years, new spy dramas have emerged one after another, but there are only a few hits.
Either the story lacks logic and is full of loopholes and the halo of the protagonist, or the actors' acting skills are not up to par, and the story is poorly acted, and finally dies silently in the corner.
As for the drama "Guzhou", the plot logic is strict. The protagonist, let alone the halo, is beaten and wrongly accused at the beginning. It can be said that it is miserable.
At the same time, whether they are young actors, powerful actors or veteran actors in the play, every actor creates a vivid and three-dimensional character with their own characteristics, which together form a vivid picture of the characters.
The show has just been updated, and the next plot will surely be even more exciting, and more powerful actors will appear in the future, which is very exciting.
So, do you think the drama "Guzhou" is good to watch?
