The lingering warmth of " Bianshui Past Time " has not yet dissipated, and the 32-episode crime suspense drama " Snow Maze " is coming in force, and it has the potential to succeed the former and continue its glory.

was broadcast on Yangtze White Night Theater at the same time, which shows that the quality of the series is still guaranteed.

The first two episodes ranked first in the country's ratings during the same period, which is a good start.

Director Lu Xing has previously produced the high-scoring crime drama "Undocumented Crime", and he is very familiar with similar works.

What’s more, the person escorting him this time is the national counselor Zhang Yimou, who serves as the producer of the film.

As a fan of crime themes, I have been looking forward to the sequel of the most popular drama "Pants", so naturally I can't let this drama go.

The author just followed a few episodes in one go, and will give a simple conclusion first.

This is a drama with obvious advantages and disadvantages. It can be watched, but it is far from enough to achieve the quality of "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water".

The following content contains some spoilers.

1, Appreciation of the first three action scenes, it’s really cool without thinking

First, undercover drug arrest in the dance hall

Zheng Bei is the youngest criminal police captain in Harlan City, led by 黄Jing Yu plays the role, let’s call him Brother Bei from now on.

Brother Bei likes to lead the way. He came to the dance hall to do business undercover. Unexpectedly, he was recognized by the Taoist friends he had arrested. He was forced to push these drug dealers aside.

Anyone who has played games knows that as long as you defeat all the enemies, no one will know that the protagonist has failed. I guess Brother Bei and the director think so too.

Brother Bei was wearing a black windbreaker and standing up without affecting the output at all. With just a few hammer blows, he knocked out the minions.

Some people fell to the ground, or they were helpless. Do you need to be an undercover agent if you are so fierce?

The opening action scene shows the strength of Bei Ge. After all, he is the city's Sanda champion.

Second, the death of the bald brother in Xiaobailou

Late at night in the Northeast in early spring, the dilapidated old building in the factory, called Xiaobailou by the locals, had no residents.

A brutal fight was going on in room 505. The bald man hanging outside the window barely clung to the gap in the wall with his fingers.

Another bald man in the room struggled with the lean man in black. He once had the upper hand due to his physical advantage.

The man in black used whatever he could get his hands on. He relied on ruthlessness to win back the victory.

With one effort, the bald man pressed down on the man in black and was about to strangle him to death.

At the critical moment, the man in black picked up a knife from the ground and stabbed it in reverse.

Through the blurry picture reflected by the broken mirror, I saw the hand of the man in black continuing to wave until the bald head completely made no sound.

Different from the cool and handsome character in the first action scene, this scene is restrained and terrifying, as if this is the daily life of a real underworld drug dealer.

Third, the Harlan anti-drug team assembled and carried out the task

Brother Bei came to work as an undercover agent again, and roped in informants to act as buyers to find drug dealers to purchase goods.

He was supported by not only his former colleagues but also the anti-drug team that had just assembled that day.

Gu Yiran, a chemistry expert transferred from eastern Guangdong (they all call him Teacher Gu), Zhang Xueyao, the city women’s Sanda champion, Ding Guozhu, a fingerprint evidence expert, and Zhao Xiaoguang, who has no idea what his specialties are.

The reason why I want to write about this team is because the next four people are almost useless, except for Teacher Gu who discovered the crisis while monitoring.

As expected, Brother Bei’s undercover plan failed again. Could it be that people are addicted to food?

The reason was that Brother Bei was exposed when he refused the drugs given by the drug dealer. A true Taoist friend would never refuse drugs, and he refused too casually.

As the criminal police captain of Harlan City who has been upgraded like a rocket, his professional level is worrying, but it is not as good as Brother Bei, who has the aura of the protagonist. He is good at pushing forward.

This action scene is much bigger than the beginning. The drug dealer gang from eastern Guangdong not only has powerful shotguns, but also old-style grenades.

There was a burst of flashes and movements, but Brother Bei was not in danger. The shotgun and grenades made only a lot of noise and could not hurt him at all.

If the support team comes later, he can settle this matter alone.

Of the three action scenes, the author is most satisfied with the second one. The realistic and vigorous energy stimulates the senses so much.

The other two games are designed to highlight the protagonist’s explosive combat power, which does a lot of damage to the overall plot.

Especially first-line captains who are skilled in business should not rely solely on force.

Putting aside the plot, the action scenes of this drama are passable. It can be seen that the crew put great effort into polishing the details of the action.

Many action scenes are long shots, which test the action guidance and also require a lot of choreography.

In short, as long as you don’t think too much about it, it’s quite fun and looks good.

2, The atmosphere of life in the Northeast in the 1990s and veteran actors tell the story

The background of the drama is set in Harlan City in Northeast China in 1997, telling the story of the establishment of the first anti-drug team.

This drama has done a lot of work in restoring the sense of time.

When you transition, you can see the afterglow of the glorious industrial age of Northeast China in the 1990s, the old chimneys of factories, and old residential areas.

and people wearing clothes of a specific era, as well as the unavoidable Northeastern food.

Teacher Gu, who came from eastern Guangdong, had pork stewed vermicelli for the first meal in Harlan.

In the evening, because it was too late to eat the goose stewed in an iron pot, I reluctantly used a chicken rack to deal with it first.

Brother Bei’s sister Zheng Nan (played by Lin Boyang), who is responsible for the appearance of this drama, is secretly in love with Xiaoguang of the team, and a conversation between the two shows the characteristics of Northeast China.

The fuse in Nanmei’s barber shop burned out. When Xiaoguang was repairing it, he proposed to have a candlelight dinner with Nanmei and eat potted pork under the candlelight.

Nanmei said that she would have to eat Western food, and she was greedy for it.

In addition, there are a group of powerful veteran actors who support this drama.

Lin Peng plays the director. He has previously performed wonderfully in "The Hidden Corner", " The Long Season " and " Dajiang Dahe ".

Liang Guanhua plays the role of Brother Bei's father, and his role as Dee Renjie has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The popularity of the "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" series earlier aroused the audience's memory of him. Now he takes off his official uniform and works as a chef, showing the love of a northeastern father for his son.

Ding Jiali plays the role of Brother Bei’s mother. This veteran actor is full of drama.

Every expression and every line is the accumulation of life, perfectly interpreting the poisonous tongue of the Northeastern aunt.

Liu Wei plays Xin Tiegang. He is the logistical support of the anti-drug team in this drama.

When he was young, he portrayed Li Longji in "The Emperor of Tang Dynasty", Wei Yan in " Romance of the Three Kingdoms ", and He Dahai in "Year After Year".

has performed well in "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes", "Wind Blowing Pinellia" and "The Road of Life" in recent years.

His acting style is changeable, and he is quite comfortable playing the second-line detective in this drama.

The above-mentioned veteran actors are supporting roles after all. They can only provide support for this drama. The actor below can really raise the ceiling.

3, He has acting skills that are not inferior to Jiang Qiming

"Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water" appeared in the circle, and by the way, Jiang Qiming's acting skills were frequently searched for. The strength of this treasured actor has finally been recognized by the public.

There is also a similar master in this drama, he is Zhang Yu .

However, he does not have many roles so far, and his position among the cast and crew is second only to the male lead Huang Jingyu, which shows that the true identity of the little security guard he plays must not be simple.

On the one hand, his godfather and "sister" are kind to him.

On the other hand, seeing innocent people being harmed, being tortured by conscience.

This character has two sides and is very useful, and Zhang Yu’s performance will definitely add points to this drama.

Zhang Yu’s performance shined for a while in 2018. He was the stubborn leukemia patient Huang Mao in " I am not the god of medicine ".

He is also the love-hateless gangster Yu Cheng in "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor", and the ridiculous and pathetic robber Hu Guangsheng in " The Unknown ".

However, Zhang Yu's acting career has become a little dull in the past few years, and his works have not reached the heights of his earlier years. Perhaps what he lacks is just a suitable script.

Summary

The aura of the protagonist of this drama is a bit too dazzling. The makeup of Huang Jingyu and Wang Ziqi who plays Teacher Gu are too exquisite.

has a sense of drama that is ahead of the 90s. Too advanced aesthetics is not necessarily a good thing. After all, this is a crime drama with a sense of the times.

Overall, this drama can be watched as an after-dinner entertainment.

However, it is a bit unrealistic to expect it to reach the quality of "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water".(Written by Mu Weizhou)
