Although "Mortal Song" and "Snow Maze" have come to an end, the domestic drama market is still busy during this period. The popularity of

costume drama " Liu Shui Yuan Yuan " remains high and continues to lead the list.

" When Mountain Flowers Are Blooming " is not very popular, but it has gained a huge reputation due to its highly realistic plot.

The urban drama " Can't Leave the Stars " has only been aired for 4 episodes and it has jumped to the top of the list.

Audiences who often follow dramas have discovered that one genre seems to be dying out, and that is criminal investigation dramas.

And the low point of criminal investigation dramas is not just at this moment. From "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow" to " misplaced " to "Snow Maze", there is no criminal investigation drama that can make people enjoy watching this year. drama.

But don’t worry, viewers, there is a criminal investigation drama coming soon.

It is reported online that "Sandstorm" will be released around the National Day.

This drama has a strong creative team and a strong cast. After "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water", this is another trump card that Pant has come up with.

01 plot: serial murders, sinister human nature, hard-core criminal investigation suspense

"Sandstorm" tells the story of an old case involving serial murders in a small town in the northwest. The veteran detective Chen Jianghe (played by Duan Yihong) was urgently transferred back. He and Luo Yingwei (played by Zhang Yao) and other police restarted the investigation to eliminate all difficulties and bring the murderer to justice.

It can be seen from the trailer and synopsis that this is a story about human nature and justice. There are two major highlights that deserve the most attention.

Highlight 1: The case is dangerous and the time span is large.

The core of criminal investigation dramas is always the case, which also determines the success or failure of a drama. In this drama, it is the case that firmly captures the audience's attention. During the sandstorm in the middle of the

play, a charred corpse fell along with the sand and gravel from the mine.

Eight years later, another charred corpse appeared in the same environment, immediately linking the current serial murder case with the unsolved case eight years ago.

Dumping the body in the boiler, is the murderer repeating the same trick, or is someone imitating the crime? What are the connections between all the victims? These are all suspenses thrown to us by the plot.

The case spanned eight years, and the disappearance of evidence cast a haze on the case like a sandstorm.

's cruel crime methods also gave the audience a strong visual impact and confirmed the murderer's viciousness and cunning.

Point 2: The law of acquaintance, human nature is complex.

If the case is the core of the criminal investigation drama, then human nature is the consistent theme of the criminal investigation drama.

In this play, the entire society is reduced to a small town, but the complexity of human nature is infinitely magnified in it.

In the play, the small border town in the northwest is very isolated in all aspects, so the people in this small town are well versed in the ways of the world.

Hidden murderer, lying witness, human nature becomes dark and unclear under the catalysis of the "law of acquaintance", and good and evil are intertwined.

In the life course of a group of people, the struggle of human nature runs through it, and the atmosphere of the entire plot becomes more anxious and brain-burning.

The case brings visual stimulation to people, but the good and evil of human nature behind the case is the most profound spiritual impact.

This drama takes into account both visual effects and spiritual core, and the creative team undoubtedly played a key role.

The play's screenwriter Zhao Dongling has a rich resume. "Police Honor", " Red Sorghum " and "Fathers' Glory" were all written by her. The short 12-episode plot is the result of Zhao Dongling's three years of careful polishing.

Director Tan Jiayan is also one of the screenwriters of "Police Honor". The two main creators have a tacit understanding of cooperation and cultivation. I believe the results of the cooperation in this drama will be even more amazing.

02 actors: Duan Yihong leads the cast, and is supported by talented actors. The creative team of

02 not only worked hard on the plot, but was also unambiguous in the casting. Looking at the entire lineup, everyone is a talented actor.

ranks first, Duan Yihong.

Audiences who have watched military dramas such as "My Commander My Regiment" and " Soldiers Assault " must be familiar with Duan Yihong.

Duan Yihong won the title of Best Actor in one fell swoop with the crime film " Burning Heart ". He is definitely an undoubted actor. In

's new drama, Duan Yihong plays the role of detective Chen Jianghe. His resolute appearance and story-filled temperament allow him to fully integrate into a police character who looks rough but is actually delicate.

In the play, Chen Jianghe stood up while interrogating a suspect, hunched forward slightly, and sternly scolded the other party for lying, speaking with full force.

Duan Yihong captured the sense of vicissitudes brought about by Chen Jianghe's rich experience. Just one scene was able to fully demonstrate Chen Jianghe's characteristics.

He portrayed this character very well.

ranked second, Zhang Yao.

Zhang Yao has always been an actor whose strength far outweighs her fame. She has performed well in

, " Bailuyuan " and " You Are My City Fortress ". Especially in "Lone Boat", the agent Weng Tai played by Zhang Yao has a complex character, and the final ending is also embarrassing.

In the new drama, Zhang Yao plays the role of police officer Luo Yingwei, with her hair tied into a high ponytail, looking heroic. In the trailer of

, she puts her arms on the chair, tilts her head, raises her chin and looks at the person opposite. Although her face is expressionless, the scrutiny in her eyes is very obvious.

Zhang Yao's performance in this drama is quite amazing, and her interpretation of this role is worth looking forward to.

ranked third, Huang Xiaolei.

Huang Xiaolei is also a capable actor. In "The World" she played the shrewd and shrewd Qiao Chunyan. Being able to perform a supporting role so deeply into the hearts of the people shows Huang Xiaolei's solid acting skills.

In the new drama, Huang Xiaolei plays Sun Caiyun. Her curly hair and red coat were quite fashionable in that era.

When the camera turned, she was visiting her husband in prison with her children, looking haggard, and the eyes she stared at her husband became very cold.

The identity of the character Sun Caiyun in the play has not yet been determined, but this character may play a key role in the play.

With Huang Xiaolei’s acting skills, there is no need to worry about this role.

ranked fourth, national first-class actor Yang Xinming.

Veteran actor Yang Xinming’s acting skills have already been perfected. The Pastor Liu played by Yang Xinming in the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still fresh in people's memory. He also appeared in "" and "Thirty Only".

In the new drama, Yang Xinming plays Liu Sancheng. The identity of this character in the drama is not yet clear, but judging from the trailer, he should be a character closely related to the case.

But no matter what kind of role it is, it will be easy in the hands of an experienced actor.

In addition, there are actors such as Zhang Jianing, Li Chunyuan, and Wang Qiang in the play. Veteran actors are in charge, and powerful actors and young actors are joining the cast. This lineup is quite luxurious in a criminal investigation drama, and it is definitely an audio-visual feast.

03 Conclusion

screenwriter Zhao Dongling said in the final episode: We hope that "Sandstorm" can describe the rapid development of modernization, the fate of people in such a scenario, and the difficulties that people encounter.

Judging from the trailer, they have already presented this theme. Underneath the shocking cases and complex human nature, there is also the weight of history brought about by the changes of the times.

And this drama shows not only development, but also the "broken walls" that have been left behind.

believes that "Sandstorm", as a sincere work, can become another well-known classic with a long lasting aftertaste after "The Long Season".
