I have seen people fighting in the street and people calling the police, but I have never seen people fighting while calling the police.

Tonight, a new CCTV drama opened my eyes.

In 1990, at a late-night barbecue stall, former investigation police officer Wu Yu ( Liao Fan) looked at a group of fierce and tough men in front of him and called the police: someone was injured in a fight in the building materials back street.

"One has a broken arm, one has a concussion, and one has a broken rib."

A big man in front was about to spit out sweet things. Wu Yu, while talking on the phone, picked up the other person's arm and lifted it, but his arm was broken.

then tripped with his legs. "Add another one with a broken leg."

then opened the bow left and right, and put down two more, "kpi with broken ribs" was completed.

Finally, I glanced at the leader of the group,

Well, it’s you who has a concussion.

Good guy, this "prefabricated beating" can be said to be quite handsome.

This outrageous fight scene comes from the 16-episode contemporary national security anti-special drama:

" rival " which will be broadcast tonight on CCTV 8 and Tencent.

is adapted from the novel "Enemy: Mountains and Rivers Nameless".

Producer Diao Yinan once sent Liao Fan to the Berlin Best Actor Award with his film "Fireworks in the Day".

"无码" is directed by director Qidao, starring Liao Fan, Zhu Zhu, Zhang Zhijian, Li Jian and others.

tells a story of covert tracking and wits against enemy agents over a span of 19 years.

premiered for eight prime-time episodes on the Central Television, breaking the first-ever ratings, and firmly ranked first in the national ratings. There is something about

.

The spy drama market in the past two years has been more lively and lonely than in previous years.

is lively, that is to say, since last year's "Infernal Affairs" started airing, the spy war drama you ended the airing and I appeared, and the ratings were not low.

Loneliness means that apart from "Storm Chaser" earlier this year, there has not been a second spy drama that has also gained a high reputation.

This urban anti-special drama has made its debut. In 2021, Yangba's " versus " has exploded in ratings and word-of-mouth.

This time it is Yangba again, another spy war anti-super drama with a modern urban background, but the negative perspective has become the positive perspective. Can

work? After watching the two episodes of

, two words: it will be a blast.

. Story: Unsolved case, imprisonment, tracking, "Enemy" firmly caught my eye at the beginning

Is the urban anti-drama good to watch? Plot is the key.

What is the old enemy?

This drama refers to Wu Yu and the enemy agent Zhang Chi. These two people chase and hide each other, and the time span spans 19 years.

An unresolved case spanning 19 years has made the protagonist embark on a long road of loneliness and persistence.

As soon as the story begins, the male protagonist Wu Yu passes through three difficulties and brings the three major spy elements into it.

not only manipulates the audience, but also makes the urban anti-espionage atmosphere so rich that it almost overflows the screen.

First: Cold Case.

The story begins in 2000.

Wu Yu, a member of the Investigation Section, is monitoring a secret theft incident.

This was the "Fourteenth Court Secret Stealing Case" that later became an unsolved case for 19 years.

During an arrest operation that year, Wu Yu discovered that the suspect was trading secrets with a mysterious man wearing a peaked cap, and he was arrested in advance out of desperation.

Faced with the stabbing of the suspect, Wu Yu dodged in time and brought the suspect down, but was caught tightly by the suspect.

Seeing that the mysterious man was about to escape, he kicked hard, but accidentally kicked the suspect to death.

Wu Yu was therefore under internal investigation, and because his confession was not supported by evidence, he was suspected of being an accomplice of the suspect. The purpose of killing suspects is to silence them.

Wu Yu insisted that he was not killing anyone, and said that the buyer wearing a peaked cap had a ws tattoo on his back, "I will definitely recognize him when I see him again." It is believed that the mission failed because he did not respond to a call requesting support.

However, Wu Yu still took off his police uniform and wandered into the public life since then, beginning 19 years of covert tracking.

And what he is tracking, the old enemy who changed his life, is the person who planned and executed the theft, the enemy agent Zhang Chi (played by Qidao).

A fateful battle spanning nineteen years has begun.

Second: Jail.

Surprisingly, Wu Yu, who took off his police uniform, did not give up on his mission. He vowed to find the real murderer and clear his name. And his first step was to go to jail.

Then, there was the opening scene.

After he was imprisoned, his old colleagues reminded him not to provoke Wei Dongshan (played by Shi Wenzhong), the boss of the cell in bed No. 1.

How could he not provoke him? Wu Yu went to jail for a year for "premeditated beatings" just to get close to him, the person related to the case that year.

Next, there is a "three swords and six holes" contest in the prison: each punches the other three times, and the one who still stands still follows the rules.

Wu Yu received three punches, and the next one almost knocked Wei Dongshan to the ground.

But he straightened him up in front of Wei's younger brother, without letting him lose face, and won people's hearts at once.

has won the trust of the boss and can infiltrate the criminals.

Third: Tracking.

The time has come 19 years later, in 2019, in another "901 Secret Theft Case" of the Aerospace Institute, a space agency secret was almost leaked.

A new generation of young police officers from the Binhai National Security Bureau, Guo Weijie (played by Zhang Kaitai), led others to catch the scientists who wanted to leak information.

But the relaxation of the remote control escaped.

In the process of tracing the case, he successfully pried open the mouth of the leaking genius scientist.

and DNA from a cigarette butt on the rooftop near the scene accidentally found an old case from 19 years ago, the "Secret Theft Case of the 14th Hospital".

Because the DNA at the scene was the same as that of a retired police officer: police number 710110.

A young man who didn’t know the rules of the workplace made a report at a higher level, which led to Wu Yu’s invisible superior: Luo Ping, Deputy Director of the Police Department.

Luo Ting told him the name of the police officer with police number 710110: Wu Yu.

Wu Yu’s figure also appeared in his sight.

At the same time, Zhang Chi, who disappeared in the darkness, also stared at Wu Yu secretly.

In this way, Wu Yu is tracking Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi is also tracking Wu Yu.

Guo Weijie was supposed to be tracking Zhang Chi, but instead he tracked down Wu Yu. In the end, he teamed up with two generations of national security policemen in Wu Yu and caught Zhang Chi.

I have to say that "Enemy" really brought an immersive spy drama to the audience.

brings the audience into the drama with the old case from 19 years ago, and re-lays out the new case 19 years later. At the same time, it also lays many suspense, firmly attracting the audience's attention.

Why did the male protagonist take off his police uniform? Is it a setup?

Are there any enemy agents within the police? Is it Li Jian's role?

disappeared for nineteen years, what was the male protagonist doing?

How did two generations of national security police officers, who had never known each other before fighting each other, finally join forces to complete this secret pursuit that spanned 19 years?

The plot of the first two episodes of "Enemy" is like a ball of yarn entangled together.

As an audience, we saw a few exposed threads. Although we could not see the whole picture, we felt that we had something in our hands.

This drama is really more "advanced" than saying nothing and just making a fuss.

To be honest, I haven’t watched " Before "Enemy", I thought this drama would be closer to Guo Jingfei's life spy drama "Rival", but after watching the first two episodes, I felt a strong sense of the style of director Qi Dao's "Infernal Affairs".

The first word: hard

The story is hard.

throws two secret theft cases to the audience at the beginning: the "Secret Theft Case of the 14th Institute" 19 years ago, and the "901 Institute Theft Case" 19 years later.

Two generations of Guoan: Wu Yu, and Guo Weijie who bit him and refused to let go.

With the support of rich materials, "Enemy" presents its first highlight:

The narrative is compact and has the texture of an American drama.

The first case appeared at the beginning. Wu Yu was involved in an unjust case and took off his police uniform.

took the initiative to go to jail, got close to relevant people, gained trust and smuggled abroad...

9 years later, the second case appeared. Guo Weijie discovered that Wu Yu shadow, a scene The serial chase begins.

in one go.

Do you dare to think that this is the content of two episodes?

The plot is step by step, interlocking, and extremely brain-burning, which is why it is so hard.

The second word: mystery

There are no redundant lines and no watery plot. The story rhythm of "Enemy" is excellent in the Chinese drama market.

If you only do this, it will only be superficial.

The second highlight of "Enemy" is that its identity is difficult to identify and confusing.

The suspect just caught by the national security is just an insignificant pawn of the spy group.

The real big fish was Wu Yu who discovered Zhang Chi wearing a peaked cap.

The person Wu Yu was close to when he was imprisoned was just a member of the spy group. His purpose was to follow the clues and find Zhang Chi.

Wu Yu has been looking for Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi also knows that Wu Yu is looking for him.

As we all know, a good spy drama must be able to attract the audience in the first three minutes, and this is the case with "Enemy".

But to continue to attract the audience, the plot must be interlocking.

This brain-burning series of "Enemy" is quite exciting.

The third word: ruthless

Director Qidao’s works, in addition to reversal, also have a sharp image style.

Even in contemporary national security anti-special dramas, the familiar image style is still online. The use of a large number of close-ups and fast-cut editing creates the unique tension of spy war anti-special dramas.

There is no shortage of action scenes. The first two episodes not only include surveillance and chasing, but also back and forth tug-of-war.

The scenes are wonderful, the plot is exciting, and my personal opinion is just one word, cool!

I couldn’t hide my excitement and wanted to shout loudly, finally there is a decent urban anti-special drama.

. Actors: Liao Fan and Qidao appeared on the stage, and the "tension" of contemporary anti-special drama came out.

As a spy war anti-special drama, "Enemy" brought together two major creators.

One is the director Qidao. The other is the producer, Diao Yinan.

The former is good at catching the audience's attention at all times.

The latter is good at shaping characters.

This may be the most surprising thing about "Enemy".

Every actor in the drama performed online, was the first to bear the brunt, of course, the actor Liao Fan.

Liao Fan never makes mistakes when playing a tough guy. The police also acted more.

But Wu Yu is no ordinary policeman, he is a previous-generation national security guard who has been secretly tracking for 19 years.

Liao Fan, who is 50 years old, has performed both the character's forbearance and the sense of vicissitudes of time.

The whole character has a broken feeling of a tough guy.

But once the fight starts, it will make your blood boil. It feels so exciting.

This role is similar to that of an "undercover agent", and he has been an undercover agent for 19 years. During this period, he has broken into a smuggling group, worked as a bartender, and delivered takeaways... Even though his face is dusty, he remains determined.

Such a true hero makes the promiscuous beauty played by Zhu Zhu say to him "I will support you", I think it is okay.

Director Diao Yinan said it best. In "Fireworks in the Day", Liao Fan played a confused and doubtful person about life; in "Enemy", he played a determined national security police officer, brave and resourceful.

It is true that Liao Fan is like the anchor of this drama. As soon as he appears, the "tension" of the urban anti-special drama comes out.

Secondly, Li Jian

was dressed in casual clothes and still upright, and his image as a national security cadre was instantly established.

But like Li Xiang in "Hurry Up", Li Jian's character this time also hides a secret.

Was it an accident that the investigation of the case failed that year, or was it really because he let Wu Yu take the blame for him?

This role gives Li Jian a lot of room to play, and he can take it.

Third, Qidao

Although Qidao doesn’t appear much in the beginning, his sharp eyes can make people feel creepy every time he appears.

When remotely controlled, the aura is so powerful that people feel suffocated unconsciously.

After "Infernal Affairs", many people have forgotten that Qidao is also a good actor. In "The Party at Southern Station" directed by Diao Yinan, Qidao played Huahua, and his acting skills were very stable.

Fourth, Zhang Zhijian

This national first-class actor has just finished playing the villain boss in " Black and White Secrets ", and immediately appeared in "Enemy", playing the role of Luo Ping, the superior who has been in secret contact with Wu Yu for 19 years.

At this stage of his performance, he is already full of drama. Whether it is a positive role or a villain, he is all easy to play.

, the deputy director played in this drama, easily performed what a super aura is.

The instant expression change when Wu Yu was asked about it,

was absolutely wonderful.

I am now waiting for this veteran actor to have a few more scenes with Liao Fan.

In addition, Kai Tai, who plays the role of the new generation of national security, also performed surprisingly well. He has the energy of a young police officer and the clear confusion in the workplace.

The prison bully played in the old drama Gu Shiwen is also very touching.

But what I am most looking forward to right now is the heroine Zhu Zhu who has not yet appeared. Her appearance in the trailer is stunning. It depends on what kind of chemical reaction she will have with Liao Fan after she appears.

After two episodes, every character has an online IQ and has his or her own personality. The lead actor is super awesome, and none of the supporting characters are crotchless.

This drama is not bad.

. Breaking the situation: urban anti-special drama, another "Rival"?

Finally, I would like to talk about urban anti-special dramas.

From Sun Honglei's "Landing, Please Turn on Your Mobile Phone" to recent "Rivals" and "Secret Agent Mission", urban anti-special dramas have actually never been absent from Chinese dramas.

However, in recent years, except for "Rivals", most of the urban anti-special dramas broadcast have not enough splashes. It is an indisputable fact that

is difficult to photograph.

It is also true that the level of urban anti-special dramas in the past two years is not low.

Take "Enemy" as an example, which allowed me to see the innovation and change of urban anti-special dramas.

is a serious drama about national security, but while you are chasing it, you feel the suspense and excitement of a werewolf.

covert tracking, urban counter-espionage... are all the current highlights.

Just for the opening two games, I have to say that the creator of "Enemy" is "daring": he actually stitched together three completely different types of dramas with a good actor who can almost always be trusted. Violating the harmony, the conflict brings out a rare meaning.

The first type is an urban anti-special drama; the second type is a prison drama; the third type is a suspense crime drama.

One layer has one flavor, and the layers are repeated.

is exciting.

But what is even more touching are the last four words of the original novel hidden in the drama: "Mountains and rivers are nameless".

Why are mountains and rivers nameless?

The old and new generations of Guoan people have unremittingly adhered to national security.

It is the selfless dedication of these unknown heroes, like sparks that flicker endlessly, that together form the "protective wall" of national security.

An audience member asked: In the play, Wu Yu has been tracking alone for 19 years. What is he trying to do?

The answer is exactly what Lai Jiyong, the original author of this book, said: "Some people only do one thing in this life, and they will never stop doing it!"

This is the most unique shock of "Enemy": "There is no stopping at all." , It’s for the river; it’s for China.”

On the long road to fight against the special forces, Wu Yu hid his identity, lurked in the sea of ​​people, and did not let go of any clues about his opponents. He passed by death again and again, but he never failed. I gave up my faith and belief.

Stories like this are worth savoring.

Compared with the ancient puppet fast food that is flooded in the Chinese drama market today, fast drinks with artificial saccharin and water.

"Old Enemy" is a Kung Fu tea worth savoring slowly.

Good tea, don’t miss it.
