There is a genre in the domestic drama market that deserves the most sighs, and that is the spy drama.

In the past, "Insidious", "Conspiracy" and " Cliff " were all classics in the domestic drama market. However, in the domestic drama market in recent years, only "Rebel" and "Storm Chaser" have achieved both popularity and reputation. .

In addition to the most common theme of the era’s spy war dramas, there is another kind of spy war drama that is even more bleak - the anti-special spy war drama.

There are very few works with good reputations such as " rival " and "Agent Mission". There are more works with many flaws such as " eye of the storm " and " storm dance ".

Today’s spy war dramas seem to be in deep trouble, and they are just waiting for a work to bring new hope to spy war dramas.

Now, this drama is coming.

" rival " was launched on cctv8, with the first 2 episodes, directly ranking first in the country's prime time ratings.

The plot of this drama is fast-paced, the atmosphere is tense, and the clues are complex. After two episodes, I still have more to say. Anti-special dramas should be filmed according to this standard.

01Multiple parallel lines, the plot is brain-burning

"Old Enemy" tells the story of national security police officer Wu Yu (Liao Fan) who took off his police uniform due to a secret theft case, gave up his job and his lover, and became anonymous from then on, relying on the only clue to trace the truth. .

During these 19 years, Wu Yu battled wits and courage with his enemies, uncovered the disguise of the real culprit, and realized what he hoped for.

There are two major highlights in the play that caught my attention immediately.

The first is the unsolved case of secret theft.

There is no extra explanation at the beginning of this drama, it is directly a "catching a turtle in a urn" arrest operation.

captain Guo Weijie (played by Zhang Kaitai) thought he had all the stolen goods, but unexpectedly he got the copy back. However, the confidential original in the office disappeared and was taken away by the insider.

The only evidence left behind in this plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain was a cigarette butt containing Wu Yu's DNA, which also pointed the finger at an old case 19 years ago.

During the arrest process, Wu Yu was found to have kicked the suspect to death. He was also suspected of being the mastermind, so he chose to resign and disappeared.

In the play, the two cases are described in great detail from the perspectives of different people, with reality interspersed with memories. The plot is compact and the amount of information is huge. It exaggerates the suspenseful atmosphere to the extreme and sets an exquisite start to the brain-burning plot. .

The second is to pursue the murderer behind the scenes.

The confrontation between the enemy and ourselves is undoubtedly the most exciting part of the spy drama, and this drama uses two clues to launch this fierce confrontation.

One clue is that Guo Weijie investigated the case under the arrangement of Hu Xiafeng ( Li Jian). Wu Yu appeared at the scene of the secret theft case, and the high connection between the case and the old case 19 years ago made Wu Yu a key suspect in Guo Weijie's eyes. .

On another clue, Wu Yu was the only person who saw the real murderer Zhang Chi (played by Qidao) at the scene of the arrest. He regarded the tattoos he saw as evidence and did not hesitate to provoke trouble. He was sentenced to prison to contact relevant people. people.

The two of them were in the dark, one in the dark, and Wu Yu in the dark used himself as bait to bring the real criminals into the police's sight.

The clues in the play are complicated, and the process of solving the case is full of ups and downs. Especially Wu Yu's secret battle is more thrilling, and the foreshadowing is like a hook, pique the curiosity of the audience.

can ensure that the plot is clear, and the rhythm and logic are also completely online. Such spy war dramas are really rare.

02 Liao Fan leads the cast, and the cast is strong

A solid plot alone is not enough. If the actors cannot stand their roles, the plot will not have such a stunning effect. The casting of this drama is also well-intentioned.

ranks first, Liao Fan.

Liao Fan is also a representative of tough guys in film and television dramas. His roles as Lao San in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" and Yan Liang in "The Silent Truth" are both impressive.

In the new drama, Wu Yu, played by Liao Fan, has a tough, courageous and strategic character. In the play, when Wu Yu resigned and left, his expression did not waver at all when he heard his brother's plea to stay, as if he had already thought about his future life.

But when he described the arrest operation, his originally calm attitude became more and more impatient because there was no evidence. He frowned and his tone of voice became more and more serious.

Liao Fan is so convincing in playing such a character who walks on the edge of black and white.

is second, Zhang Zhijian .

Zhang Zhijian is certainly familiar to the audience. The characters he plays are usually mature and thoughtful characters, such as Gao Yuliang in "In the Name of the People" and Meng Dehai in "Hurry".

In the new drama, Zhang Zhijian plays Luo Ping, a high-ranking and powerful figure.

As the person who personally recruited Wu Yu into the team, when Luo Ping heard Guo Weijie say Wu Yu's warning signal, the smile that seemed to be absent at the corners of his mouth froze, and his expression gradually became serious.

Small changes in Zhang Zhijian's eyes and expressions convey the inner changes of the character.

The performance of the veteran actor is too delicate.

ranked third, Li Jian.

Li Jiantian is too suitable for those characters who are upright. In "Hurry", Li Xiangxu was unwilling to change his original intention, and the ending left the audience distraught.

In the new drama, Li Jian "returns to his old career" and plays the role of policeman Hu Xiafeng. Wearing a police uniform, he looks like a policeman with a full sense of justice.

In the play, Hu Xiafeng was very anxious because of Wu Yu's affairs, and his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan". His expression showed not only worry, but also guilt for not being able to reply in time.

Li Jian’s performance in this drama is still very eye-catching.

ranks fourth, Zhuzhu.

Zhu Zhu's appearance and temperament are definitely one of the best among actors of the same period. The female agent Lan Xinjie she played in "Rebel" is elegant and generous, which is stunning.

In the new drama, the character Huang Xiao she plays is a different kind of beauty. Although Huang Xiao has not yet appeared in the feature film, her appearance in the trailer is another kind of beauty. In the trailer of

, she is wearing a long black dress, has a bright smile, and her aura is more outgoing and flamboyant.

Zhu Zhu’s performance in this drama is so worth looking forward to.

In addition, there are actors such as Kai Tai and Qi Dao in the drama. There are so many powerful actors in this drama. As the plot unfolds, the follow-up will be even more exciting.

03 Conclusion

Among the spy dramas of this year, except for one "Storm Chaser", the others have been "annihilated". The plots are old-fashioned, the pace is too slow, and the logic is confusing. These problems have made the audience question some spy dramas. Not interested.

The baton to revive the spy war drama will be handed over to the anti-special spy war drama this time.

The plot of "Enemy" is interlocking, the writing and drama are brain-burning, and the fighting scenes are smooth. It has a lot of dramas from classic spy war dramas, and it brings a fresh feeling to the audience in the urban background.

Whether there will be another hit spy drama this year depends on "Enemy".

So do you think this drama is good to watch?
