It seems that there are less than two months left in 2024, and the most regrettable genre in the domestic drama market this year is undoubtedly the spy drama.

originally thought that the popularity of "Storm Chaser" would kick off a spring of spy dramas, but after that, spy dramas gradually cooled down.

From "When the Stars Shine" and "Harbin 1944" to "The Lonely Boat" and " Dark Night and Dawn", these spy dramas have failed one after another, far from the audience's expectations.

" rival ", which is still being updated, has no splash.

Is this year’s spy drama coming to an end because of this?

Of course not, there are several spy dramas worth looking forward to, such as Yu Hewei , "Deep Sea 1950" starring Wu Yue, and "Yellow Bird" starring Guo Jingfei.

However, these dramas have not yet been confirmed, but there is a spy drama that has been confirmed first.

"Deep Dive" will be broadcast on cctv8 from November 13th and will be broadcast simultaneously on Taochang.

The plot of this drama has twists and turns and the atmosphere is turbulent. After reading the trailer, I just want to say that the spy drama that the audience has been waiting for is finally here.

01The plot has ups and downs and is thrilling.

"Deep Dive" tells the story of Yun Hongshen ( Cheng Yi) who accidentally fell into the scam of the strategic agent "Black Butler" while tracing the truth about his father's death.

And he teamed up with the patriotic young man Wen Yeming ( Ying'er ) to set up a trap, and finally found the hidden enemy agents and made great contributions to the victory of the Battle of Changsha.

In this drama, there are two highlights that deserve the most attention.

First, there is hatred between the country and the family, and it is hard to cool the blood.

Generally, the protagonist of a spy drama is either a well-trained agent or a secret agent with a background. But the protagonist of this drama is a little different, he is just an ordinary young man.

In the play, Yun Hongshen's father Yun Muzhi was an underground party member and was killed during the investigation of the enemy agent "Black Butler". Yun Hongshen, who didn't know his father's true identity, came to Changsha to trace the real cause of his father's death, and then got involved in the enemy's trap.

On the one hand, it is the responsibility of young people when the country is in danger, and on the other hand, it is the hatred of his father's death at the hands of the enemy. With the help of his father's friends, Yun Hongshen strengthened his faith, chose to put down his family feud, and became the person who changed the situation. A chess piece.

What Yun Hongshen represents is the passion of patriotic youth, their indomitable attitude and strength that puts the overall situation first.

From the perspective of family feud, following Yun Hongshen’s perspective to witness their experiences also gives the audience a more immersive feeling.

The second is the confrontation between the enemy and ourselves, and the conflict is fierce.

The contest between the enemy and ourselves is the focus of the spy war drama, and it is also the most exciting part of the drama. Judging from the trailer, the battle of wits in this drama is particularly intense.

In order to occupy Changsha, the Japanese army activated strategic agents who had been lurking for 15 years. In the trap they had laid long ago, Yun Hongshen, who had just arrived in Changsha, was confused and helpless for a while. Only with the help of his seniors did he see through the trap.

The enemy was in darkness and we were in the dark, and the situation was not clear for a while. Yun Hongshen chose to go with the flow, setting himself up as a dead chess piece, working step by step, dealing with the enemy, and finally dug out the hidden "Black Butler".

In the play, the fierce confrontation between the enemy and us, where we and the enemy battle wits and courage, is full of urgency, foreshadowing, and reversal, making the plot ups and downs and full of tension.

Spy dramas should be filmed according to this standard.

02Cheng Yi leads the cast, with a strong lineup

Spy war dramas are one of the genres that most test actors' acting skills. Character shaping is crucial to spy war dramas. Therefore, the casting of this drama is also very careful.

ranked first, Cheng Yi.

Among today's traffic niches, Cheng Yi's strength is definitely remarkable. His performance in "Lotus Tower" and "Liu Li" have gained recognition from many audiences.

Although most of Cheng Yi's past roles were in themes such as ancient costumes and martial arts, his performance in other types of works is not bad. His role as Zhou Yi'an in "bottomline" is also very eye-catching.

In the new drama, Yun Hongshen, played by Cheng Yi, is elegant and handsome in a suit, but his eyes are sharp in contrast to his temperament, and cannot hide the sharpness in them. In the trailer of

, when Yun Hongshen revealed the identity of the other party, he gritted his teeth and said "he is the one", and the grief and anger in his heart were beyond words.

Yi Lai is the perfect choice to play this role.

ranked second, Wang Jinsong .

Wang Jinsong is recognized as a capable actor. As a golden supporting role in domestic dramas, he has appeared in many classic domestic dramas, such as "Langya Bang", "Ice Breaking Operation" and "The Wind Blowing Pinellia".

Regardless of whether he is a decent character or a villain, Wang Jinsong's performance is profound. In

's new drama, the identity of the character played by Wang Jinsong is not yet clear, but for him to play this role, it must not be a simple role. In the trailer of

, he walked out of the room and stared at the camera, his gaze seemed to penetrate the screen, which was full of oppression.

Such a complex role should be given to an experienced actor like Wang Jinsong.

is third, Zhang Tianyang .

In "", Chen Sihai played by Zhang Tianyang is a highlight in the drama. Before that, his roles as Emperor Wu Yang Xingyuan in "One Thought Off the Mountain" and Lin Qiaosong in "The Storm Chaser" also left a deep impression on the audience.

Zhang Tianyang's acting skills are very solid, and he is very comfortable in shaping characters. In the new drama, he plays Yun Hongqi, who should be Yun Hongshen's brother. In the

trailer, Yun Hongqi stared at the gun in his hand, his red eyes full of tears, and his expression was horrified, as if he had experienced or recalled some horrific scene.

Zhang Tianyang's acting skills are trustworthy.

ranks fourth, Yinger.

In recent years, most of Yinger's appearances in domestic dramas have been guest appearances and supporting roles, such as "Imperfect Victim" and " Ice and Snow Knife ", and her acting skills have always been very stable.

In the new drama, Ying'er plays the role of Wen Yeming. She looks very heroic in her military uniform and behaves neatly. She points her gun at Yun Hongshen, her eyes full of vigilance.

looks forward to Yinger’s performance in this drama being able to surprise the audience.

In addition, there are also actors such as Han Chengyu and Hou Mengyao in the drama. I believe that their acting skills can present a wonderful spy drama.

03 Conclusion

Among the spy war dramas that hit the streets this year, there are many popular actors and acting talents. It is obvious that acting skills and popularity account for at least one, but the ratings and reputation are still not as good as those of real good dramas.

But in the final analysis, the plot is unsatisfactory. The setting of the characters, the logic of the plot, and the arrangement of the plot are not only difficult to compare with the classics, but even somewhat failed.

There are also some spy dramas that want to take a different approach, but the actual effects are neither fish nor fowl.

However, the appearance of "Deep Dive" makes people shine. I believe that with its excellent quality, it will become another spy drama hit in the domestic drama market this year after "The Storm Chaser".
