Domestic dramas have ushered in the cold winter of film and television. Except for the broadcast effect of " Bianshui Past Events " in the summer season, the performance of other dramas was tepid. And even "Bianshui Past" is still far behind previous years' "Hurry" and ": The Long Season ".

Fortunately, CCTV has always been exporting high-quality domestic dramas. The latest film " snow maze " was the first in the evening prime time ratings and won the championship.

As a work with only two episodes online, "Snow Maze" has already shown its potential to become a hit.

After watching the feature film, you will find that this well-produced domestic criminal investigation drama is full of care.

The plot is eye-catching and the scale is online. "Snow Maze" is launched with high energy

The story of "Snow Maze" is in Beijing. In Harlan City in the northeast, a drug crisis broke out. The Harlan City Public Security Bureau immediately set up a temporary task force to launch a large-scale Internet, just to wipe out illegal crimes in one fell swoop. The story of

begins with a shocking murder. Two deceased people appeared in the glass factory. The deceased were brothers and both were security guards of the glass factory.

After the police arrived at the scene, they quickly sealed off the scene. After searching the scene, the police also found methamphetamine on the deceased. It was obvious that a huge drug trafficking organization was involved behind the murder. The murder of

remains to be solved, but the emergence of new types of methamphetamine is also a pressing concern for the police.

Therefore, by disguising and lurking, the police penetrated into the edge of the drug trafficking industry chain. By contacting the upstream sellers and pinching the downstream buyers, they explored the trends of the entire drug trafficking organization. What the task force wanted to catch was not the typical gang breakup, but the entire drug trafficking gang.

In the first two episodes of "Snow Maze", you can see the tension between the good and the bad as they deal with each other.

The premise for this sense of tension is the rhythm of the plot. In the first episode of the TV series, three lives were lost and drug dealers fought among themselves to death. After the crisis emerged, the police responded quickly and set up a task force. They also specially brought drug experts from the southern coast. Please come to the Northeast.

Along with the anti-drug storyline, "Snow Maze" frequently features high-energy plots that break the scale. Murder cases and even firearms trafficking cases fill out the storyline quite fully.

In the middle of these story lines, there are also various hearty fighting scenes and realistic explosion scenes. In terms of the creation of large scenes, "Snow Maze" actually almost has the texture of a movie. It is not only clean and neat The actor's body skills are also the director's lens.

Such a violent and explosive scale is indeed rare in domestic dramas. But while creating drama, pyrotechnics are also important. The director of

's "Snow Maze" also truly captured the Northeast in the 1990s, and the audience can feel the coldness of the industrial county through the screen. The song and dance hall that appears in the plot of

is an entertainment venue with Northeastern characteristics. The flashy retro outfits and the period setting style make "Snow Maze" more exciting and grounded.

Of course, casting is also a key aspect of the plot of "Snow Maze".

Huang Jingyu takes the lead, and powerful actors support the attraction. The whole audience is high-energy

actor Huang Jingyu is actually a very obvious representative of his personal style. He has a lean body and a strong sense of strength. In recent years, netizens have jokingly called him "serving in the entertainment industry" ", the righteousness that penetrates into the bones of the body, and the aura of the male protagonist standing in the upright camp is in place as soon as he appears.

Moreover, Huang Jingyu himself is from the Northeast, and he has the toughness that can only be born from the black soil of the Northeast. His relaxed performance combines the Northeastern's gifted sense of humor with his characters. His character Zheng Bei is straightforward and bright. Even in the thrilling battle of life and death, he has a moderate sense of humor, highlighting regional characteristics and personal style.

Compared with the stereotypical protagonists in many criminal investigation dramas, Huang Jingyu played Zheng Bei quite captivatingly.

In addition to Huang Jingyu, the appearance of Zhang Yu also surprised the audience.

Anyone who knows Zhang Yu knows that his track is actually in the film industry. The movies " The Unknown " and " Sniper " all have Zhang Yu's wonderful acting skills.

asked him to star in the TV series. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is overqualified and underused.

In the play, Jiang Xiaohai, played by Zhang Yu, has the temperament of an honest man. He seems to be submissive, but he gives people a hidden and mysterious feeling as soon as he appears.

During Zhang Yu's performance, the audience was always jumping back and forth between nervousness and peace of mind. Sometimes I think he is a villain who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, and sometimes I think he is simple-minded. This uncertainty about the character's attributes makes this supporting role mysterious and eye-catching.

I have to say that Zhang Yu's portrayal in "Snow Maze" not only once again demonstrated his acting skills, but also once again demonstrated his vision for selecting scripts and roles.

In the field of criminal investigation dramas, traffic actors always give people a sense of confusion and fragmentation. But Xie Keyin was very surprising.

In the previous " Anti-Crime Storm ", Jiang Shuying overturned, "Hurry" became a hit, and Li Yitong was complained about. But Xie Keying in "Snow Maze" not only has outstanding looks, but also very fierce acting skills. During the process of handling the case, her action scenes were crisp and clear, and her emotional details were reliable and rigorous.

She not only performed the professionalism of a female detective, but also the recklessness of a Northeastern girl.

In addition to the actors mentioned above, Liang Guanhua and Liu Wei are also talented actors that the audience is familiar with. As soon as the two appear on the stage, the audience actually knows that their supporting roles are stable. While they fully trust the actors' acting skills, the talented actors are also contributing wonderfully. Highlights.

This time, Xin Tiegang, played by Liu Wei, is Zheng Bei’s master. He is a veteran detective on the front line, but due to a sudden accident, his leg was injured, and his physical condition forced him to retire to a logistics position. However, the veteran detective Lao La and Experience is still evident in Liu Wei's performance.

Zheng Bei, played by Huang Jingyu, leads the team and is hardworking enough, but just lacks a bit of calmness. Xin Tiegang, played by Liu Wei, knows everything about it, which makes the audience feel more at ease.

It can be seen that in terms of casting, "Snow Maze" focuses on "suitability". Traffic, celebrity status, and popularity are not the most important. The adaptation of the actors to the characters and the tone of the story are the criteria for casting. .

The current cast of "Snow Maze" is the key to continuing to attract attention. As for whether "Snow Maze" can create more sparks through the casting of actors in the later period, it depends on the strength of the screenwriter and director and the charm of the plot.

Of course, the popularity of a drama is sometimes tainted with some metaphysics. There have been many anti-drug criminal investigation dramas in the past two years. This year's " Ice Hunting " starring Zhang Songwen also sparked a lot of discussion. However, the plot of this type of drama is sensitive, and the scale of the drama will test the ability of the behind-the-scenes team.

We will wait and see whether "Snow Maze" can drive high and go from beginning to end.
