After White Night Theater concluded with " Past Events by Bianshui " , it launched another blockbuster new drama " Snow Maze " . Produced by Zhang Yimou and directed by Lu Xing. The cast is strong. You can see Huang Jingyu , Zhang Yu, Xie Keyin . The name of . Among the veteran actors, you can also see the names of Liu Wei, Liang Guanhua, Ding Jiali, and Li Naiwen.

However, director Zhang Yimou is so busy, I don’t know how much time he has to participate in the creation, or it is just in name. After all, director Lu Xing is not a newcomer, and his previous dramas are still good, especially "Undocumented Crime", which had a huge reputation that year. Later, he also filmed "Ordinary Glory", "The Returned Daughter", etc. This new drama is a crime story that takes place in the Northeast. It should be a return to what he is good at.

When writing this article, the drama has aired 7 episodes. Let me talk about my current experience of watching the drama.

The fight scene in the song and dance hall at the beginning of the story has already established a certain temperament and tone of the play. In a rough and wild place like the Northeast, a murder case involved a new type of methamphetamine. Drug traffickers from the south have infiltrated into the local Haran City, and the situation is serious. So the public security system set up a task force, led by Zheng Bei (played by Huang Jingyu) who is responsible for major cases. They convened a team and began to fight against Confrontation of drug traffickers.

The team members include the male protagonist of the show, the captain Zheng Bei. In the promotional copy of the show, he is called the "Chicken Stand Prince" because his parents opened a restaurant after being laid off, and the main specialty dishes are It's mainly chicken racks. As the leader of the task force, he plays a lot of coordinating roles. After all, each member has his own problems and shortcomings.

Xiaoguang is the little brother of Zheng Bei. He likes Zheng Bei's sister Zheng Nan, but the latter does not show acceptance of this feeling. She just treats him as a brother and friend who has a good relationship with her brother.

Xue Yao, played by Xie Keyin, is an image of a beater. As Zheng Bei's junior sister, many people in the public security system have heard of this "mad dog" policewoman who can beat up. She is still impulsive when doing things. During the unannounced visit to the nightclub, even though Zheng Bei warned them in advance not to cause trouble, when she saw the waiter being bullied by the gangster, she couldn't help but rush forward, and Xiaoguang and her got into a fight. Fortunately, colleagues from other departments were patrolling nearby and passed by here, otherwise it would have caused a disaster.

Handling a case requires not only fists and feet, but also brains and technology. Naturally, technical professionals are required to join in. Guozhu This shape is actually the same as Xueyao, focusing on a sense of contrast. As a policewoman, Xueyao is particularly brave as a man; while Guozhu looks quite big, but he is a technical man who is afraid of spicy food and has a weak personality.But in things like fingerprint comparison, he plays a key role.

The main criminal activity involved in this drama is drug trafficking. The background of the story is set in the 1990s, which is also to show that many detection methods are not complete and some advanced technologies have not yet appeared, so when the investigators lack understanding of drugs , you need the blessing of professionals. So among the several members of the task force, a special and important person was welcomed, Gu Yiran.

Gu Yiran came from the southern city of Guangdong to join a task force in the northeast because he saw the internal information about the Xiaobailou murder case in Harlan City. The impact of methamphetamine on him reminded him of being driven to death by drugs. Sister Xiaoxiao. Although Xiaoxiao is not his biological sister, he treats Xiaoxiao as his biological sister. He was originally very stubborn. Zheng Bei went to eastern Guangdong to personally ask him to take action, but he politely declined. If he hadn't seen the internal information Zheng Bei gave him, he probably wouldn't have followed.

In the task force, his calmness and "venomous tongue" initially caused everyone to feel distanced from him, and even resented him. After all, there are many dangers to face when going out, and everyone is repelled by his intellectual energy and looks down upon him. But in several operations, Gu Yiran's performance made his colleagues see the necessity of his existence. When he participated in the arrest operation for the first time, he immediately discovered that Zheng Bei was in danger.

Next, he chased the criminal from eastern Guangdong, and his long-distance running endurance also impressed everyone. Not to mention the level of professional knowledge. Originally, he wanted to give everyone regular drug-related chemistry classes, but no one was willing to listen. He fell asleep during class and was listless. The experience of successfully catching the suspect thanks to the understanding of drug knowledge during the case handling finally made everyone change their view of Gu Yiran, from calling him "Teacher Gu" to "Brother Ran".

During the investigation of the Xiaobailou murder case, the security guard Jiang Xiaohai who provided testimony was evasive, which has aroused the suspicion of the police. From the flashback shots, we can see that Jiang Xiaohai has committed crimes and been in jail. Although he currently works as a security guard, he is also a taxi driver, and he is the godson of Boss Qin, a local tyrant.

Through the plot, we can see that the drug trade in Harlan City originated from the rental shop under Qin Yi's name. Regarding Jiang Xiaohai, we can see his character and acting style. He is steady when he should be steady and ruthless when he should be ruthless. For example, Lin Jiang, the son of Lin Zhida (played by Li Naiwen) of another gang of evil forces, came to Harlan to grab business, so Boss Qin sent Xiao Hai to negotiate.

Jiang Xiaohai not only went, but also entered the tiger's den alone. He had long been prepared for the other party to act rogue, and he was also prepared for a fierce battle. In the end, he staged a drama of one against many. This kind of large-scale action scenes is also one of the highlights of this drama. Jiang Xiaohai is a typical cruel character who is tolerant and calm. He has deep things buried in his heart. He is not a simple evil person and has serious thoughts. From a drama perspective, the character arc is well done.

For example, that time he helped Zheng Bei catch criminals on the street, giving him the opportunity to save his niece. Jiang Xiaohai not only gave Zheng Bei healing medicine, but also invited him to his home for dinner. The atmosphere of his sister and brother-in-law's family made Zheng Bei feel warm and positive.At that time, Zheng Bei didn't know that Jiang Xiaohai was Qin Yi's godson, let alone the deep secrets hidden behind him.

Judging from his behavior after the fight with Lin Jiang was caught, Jiang Xiaohai most likely wanted to win over, or find a backer for himself in the public security system. For example, when he saw Zheng Bei after being arrested, he deliberately greeted him, called him big brother, and shouted at a high voice that it was the other party who did it. This was mainly to let Lin Jiang see that he knew people in the public security system. In the future, Zheng Bei and Jiang Xiaohai may fight many times. The relationship between the two and the direction of the story are worth looking forward to.

As of the seventh episode, Gu Yiran is in danger. When he came to Halan, he had no place to live, so he lived with Zheng Bei. Originally, this threat was directed at Zheng Bei, but Zheng Bei saw the arrested Jiang Xiaohai, so he wanted to participate in the interrogation and asked Gu Yiran to go home first. The man named Li Ge who had just been released from prison obviously had a grudge against Zheng Bei and brought a shotgun to the restaurant owned by Zheng Bei's parents.

The seventh episode ends with Gu Yiran, who discovered the crisis, letting Zheng Bei’s parents and sister escape, but turned around and was met by Brother Li who shot him head on. This ending is indeed very exciting. I don’t know what will happen next, and from this For Haran City, where evil is hidden and crises are everywhere, it will definitely bring about a bloody battle. This is a snow maze, and it is also a blood maze...
