For example, "The Wind and Waves" starring the popular Wang Yibo and his uncle Wang Yang, is one of the most anticipated spy dramas. Choosing such a cast ensures the popularity of the series to the greatest extent.
The undercurrent of the showdown between the good and the bad has always been the biggest highlight of this type of work. Wang Yibo will face an unprecedented test of his acting skills as he faces off against actors from all walks of life.
As long as this work is successful, it will allow Wang Yibo to achieve transformation earlier.
However, this drama has not yet been launched. On the contrary, another drama is about to premiere. "All the Way", which will be broadcast three episodes every night on CCTV's eight prime time slots, will soon succeed "If Running Is Mine" "Life" was chosen by CCTV, which already shows the quality of this drama.
However, the 36-episode volume can tell the story in just the right detail without the problem of the plot being too protracted and lengthy. The strong cast protects the overall acting level of the drama. This time, the new year of 2024 will begin. The show is coming!
01
A unique anti-special drama, with multiple elements that are full of attractions
Last year, "Thrush" has already made the spy war-themed drama somewhat fresh. It is no longer the male and female protagonists who have multiple undercover identities, but An anti-special setting where I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark.
But from the perspective of the story setting, it is not fresh enough. In the past, there were many Chinese dramas in the Chinese drama market like "Hu Mei" where the male protagonist is engaged in scientific research and the female protagonist is responsible for protecting her. It is just a gender swap.
What really makes people feel fresh is CCTV's "All the Way", a unique anti-special drama. The main line of the story is the story of the protagonist Luo Xiangqian when he was building the Inner River section of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway. It not only shows the noble spirit of self-reliance and hard work of the migrant workers building the road, but also incorporates elements of espionage.
Judging from the outer shell, this drama is more like a period drama, showing the glorious history of all walks of life in Neijiang and supporting the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, and emphasizing the huge contribution that this railway will bring to society after it is completed and opened to traffic. .
However, at its core, this is still a typical anti-special drama. The background of the story is set in 1950. Starting from the opening ceremony of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, the regiment leader handed over this important task to Luo Xiang, the commander of the Pioneer Company. Before that, he led the soldiers to start from building the roadbed, and while constructing step by step, he explored new techniques and solved many problems.
But the Korean War broke out in 1950, which was destined to not be a peaceful year. However, it was important for the volunteers to enter North Korea to fight, and the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway was also a top priority, so Luo Xiangqian was retained.
During the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, not only did the volunteers fight the enemy head-on, but there were also a large number of enemy agents in the country who engaged in various sabotage work, trying to make the newly established New China suffer from internal and external troubles. The migrant workers brigade led by Luo Xiangqian was sabotaged by enemy agents while building the largest bridge, the Tuojiang Bridge, and many migrant workers died as a result.
Luo Xiangqian also faced greater pressure, but he also strengthened his determination to repair the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway and comfort the sacrificed workers.
However, during the subsequent construction work, he and the technicians led the migrant workers to dig the tunnel, but a landslide suddenly occurred, and Luo Xiangqian was suspended for investigation.
Judging from the plot setting, the dilemma faced by the protagonist in the play is different from that of previous anti-special dramas. Not only does he have to shoulder an arduous task, but he also has to always be on guard against deliberate sabotage by enemy agents and a crisis of trust in the organization.
Fortunately, it has been explained in the plot summary. The final outcome is that Luo Xiangqian not only completed the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, but also resumed his job, cleared his body of suspicion, and held a wedding with the technician.
It can be said that this drama not only has anti-special elements, but also has multiple elements such as age, love, and comradeship integrated into it, making it full of highlights.

Li Jian of "Cyclonus" + "Dajiang Dahe" practice, two powerful actors are in charge
The cast often determines whether the work can be popular before it is broadcast, and this drama alone has the male protagonist Li Jian, which can attract a large wave of traffic .
"Hurry Up" not only directly promoted Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi to the top of the uncle circle, but also the resources of many supporting actors in the drama also skyrocketed. For example, in Zhang Yimou's "Article 20", you can see actors such as Gao Ye and Wang Peilu in "Crazy".
Li Jian, who plays the role of policeman Li Xiang, is valued by more and more high-quality dramas. After "Hurry", he starred in the modern revolutionary drama "Flag of Heroes". This drama has been completed and is currently available. I haven't met you yet, but the TV series "Stalker" that I participated in also has a very good reputation.
Among them, "Love in the Green Mountains and Green Waters" was broadcast on Xingxing CCTV and is a typical main theme drama.
Although the policeman Li Xiang in "Hurry" looks both good and evil due to his character design, actor Li Jian's compatibility with the positive image is perfect. In fact, before "Hurry", he had already appeared in many works with theme themes, and "Hurry" only gave him a chance to get out of the circle.
This time he will play the role of the commander of the Pioneer Company in the new drama "All the Way". Luo Xiangqian is a full-fledged tough guy. Judging from the stills, Li Jian wearing a military uniform makes people feel very immersive and upright. The appearance also fits the character's setting very well.
The heroine is Lian Lian, who is well-known to the audience for her role in "Dajiang Dahe". As an actor in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy, although there are not many works where she plays the leading role alone, she can always play supporting roles vividly.
In "Dajiang Dahe", her character Wei Chunhong is a charming boss lady, but she is affectionate and dedicated. In the third part, which is currently on the air, Lian Lian's performance is as solid as ever.
In addition to this play, she also collaborated with Noon Sunshine in "Meeting Time", interpreting the image of an unreasonable woman, and her fierce performance style broke the audience's inherent perception of her.
This time in "All the Way", she will play the role of researcher Ye Lan, which is a completely different image. We look forward to her wonderful performance.
In addition to these two protagonists, there are also many powerful actors joining the play, such as actor Zhang Su, who has appeared in works such as "War on Fire" and "Number of Romantic Figures". He is also a professional in the main theme drama, and "All the Way Forward" 》The adaptability is quite high.
There is also Xu Wenguang, a veteran actor who once appeared in "In the Name of the People". His acting skills are benchmark and can perfectly complement "All the Way".
Bai Yihong, who has played important supporting roles in works such as "Yu Zui" and "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", and has partnered with actors such as Siqin Gaowa and Zhang Tielin, is also a buried treasure actor.
With such a configuration and a wonderful script, it is difficult to imagine whether "All the Way" will become popular. So, are you looking forward to this anti-super drama?
