As a timeless classic in the domestic drama market, spy dramas have never lacked audiences.

's previous "Latent", "Pretender" and " Kite " have pushed spy war dramas to their peak step by step.

But after that, spy war dramas went downhill. The only spy war dramas that have left a deep impression on the audience in recent years are "Renegades" and "Storm Chaser".

Especially this year, I thought that the craze of spy dramas started by "Storm Chaser" would continue, but I didn't expect to be poured cold water on it by "Harbin 1944" and "Lone Boat".

On the contrary, the upcoming "Dark Night and Dawn" starring Wang Zhiwen is even more worth looking forward to.

However, I am not waiting for news about this drama right now, but I am waiting for news about another spy drama.

" Qianyuan" has been officially completed and a trailer has been released.

Judging from the trailer, the plot of this drama is full of urgency and the actors have excellent acting skills. This is the most attractive spy drama after "Insidious".

01 A suspenseful spy war drama, exciting

"Hidden Abyss" tells the story of Liang Shuo ( Huang Xiaoming ) who lost his memory and forgot his identity. Liang Shuo, who was dealing with Agent 76, the Japanese, and Chongqing, finally found his He regained his memory and resumed his identity as a member of the underground party.

Liang Shuo, who rekindled his faith, helped the organization obtain key intelligence, and finally completed the "Qianyuan Plan" and shattered the enemy's conspiracy.

At first glance, this spy drama seems to be an old routine. You can see elements of classic spy dramas such as undercover and intelligence gathering.

But if you take a closer look, there are many new settings in this drama, among which there are two highlights that are worth looking forward to the most.

Highlight 1: The character’s identity is a mystery.

In general spy dramas, the protagonist is either working as an undercover agent or catching spies, so he has multiple identities.

But the male protagonist in this drama is different. He is looking for himself.

In the play, Liang Shuo accepted the "loyalty test" of the Japanese, but Liang Shuo woke up in the mountains and lost his memory. He forgot who he was and where he belonged.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army and Japanese spies came up, some hunted and rounded up, and some reported their duties.

In other spy dramas, the protagonist is in disguise, but in this drama Liang Shuo really forgot.

The setting of amnesia is not very common in spy dramas. This setting casts a veil over the already complex identities of the characters in the spy drama, adding to the suspense in the plot.

Point 2: The game of multi-party forces.

The most exciting part of the spy drama is undoubtedly the game between good and evil, with overt and covert fights, back and forth, and fierce collisions.

In this drama, the game between the two parties has escalated into a multi-party game, and the scene has become more thrilling.

From the trailer, various forces have different attitudes towards Liang Shuo. Some want to win him over, and some want to get rid of him. At this time, Liang Shuo becomes a bargaining chip in their game.

But just a battle of wits is not enough. The explosions, gun battles and other scenes in the play directly visualize the conflict, and the scenes are tragic and exciting.

The atmosphere of this drama is urgent and depressing, the plot settings are novel, and the characters are full of characters. It maintains a fast pace while also creating a sense of suspense. The seamless plot design of

comes from the strong creative team.

The director of the play, Mao Weining, won the Magnolia Best Director for " Ordinary World " and has a profound accumulation of realistic-themed works.

He has overall control over this drama, so there is no need to worry.

02Huang Xiaoming leads the cast, and powerful actors gather together

In spy war dramas, the plot and characters complement each other, so casting is still a top priority. As for the cast of the show, Yishui is a talented group.

ranks first, Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming, who holds the title of Best Actor, hardly disappoints with his acting skills. In the past few years, he has blossomed in film and television, and his performances in the movies "Heroes of Fire" and "Eight Hundred " have been quite impressive.

In the new drama, Huang Xiaoming plays Liang Shuo. He begins to lose his memory and chooses to continue undercover after recovering his identity. This role has certain similarities with the undercover Fang Jiashu he played in " Stalker ".

In the trailer, Liang Shuo stands in the crowd. Although he has lost his memory, the habits he has developed over the years have kept him vigilant. His expression is gloomy but his eyes are full of alertness.

The choice of Huang Xiaoming to play this complex character is so right.

ranked second, Yu Jinwei.

In "Celebrating More Than Years", Yu Jinwei played the sinister and cunning "Smiling Tiger", which made the audience love and hate him.

is still fresh in the audience’s memory after many years, which is enough to illustrate Yu Jinwei’s ability to create characters. In

's new drama, Yu Jinwei plays Lu Xijian, who is a pivotal role in the plot. In the trailer of

, he is sitting on a chair, his whole face is tense, as if he is facing a formidable enemy, and his sharp eyes show some unwillingness, and he looks straight as if he wants to pierce the screen.

Yu Jinwei's performance in this drama is also quite amazing. Whether the role is a good guy or a villain, he can handle it with his acting skills.

is third, Liu Wei.

Liu Wei, a national first-class actor, has impeccable acting skills. In "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Houses", he played the role of secretary Wan Shantang. He is a decent official but lax in educating his children as a father. He is a character with mottled humanity.

The identity of the character he plays in the new drama has not yet been determined, but it should not be easy to identify based on his attire.

In the trailer, he was sitting in the car, frowning and pursed his lips, his face was unusually gloomy.

Liu Wei is indeed an experienced actor, he can act like anything.

ranks fourth, Zhang Jianing .

Zhang Jianing's most well-known role to the audience should be the outspoken Ru Lan at the center of "Know or Not".

In the new drama, Zhang Jianing plays Xie Nianci. This character has changed from his previous gentle and lively style and is more calm. In the trailer of

, she had a gun pointed at her head, her eyes widened nervously, and she held her breath, but she still looked at the other person with full eyes, trying to find an opportunity.

Zhang Jianing's performance in this drama is worth looking forward to.

In addition, there are also actors such as Yu Yang, Guan Renzi, and He Ziming in the drama. The overall lineup is strong, and the group scenes in this spy drama must be quite exciting.

03 Conclusion

When spy dramas go downhill, they have to look for problems within themselves.

The first thing is the script. The reason why a series of spy dramas such as "Kite" directed by Liu Yunlong can be watched endlessly is because the script is solid enough and can withstand scrutiny.

also took a different approach to some plot settings, and boldly tried to incorporate other elements into spy dramas. For example, "Storm Chaser" combined business warfare with spy warfare, and achieved good results.

The second thing is acting. Characters with multiple identities and complex personalities require support from acting skills to express the character’s layers. Actors must have a deep understanding of the characters in order to make the characters flesh-and-blood and more vivid.

Judging from the trailer, "Hidden Abyss" avoids these obvious problems and is as perfect as possible in terms of plot and casting.

believes that the broadcast of this drama can stop the decline of spy dramas and create new classics.
