Spy war is the forever big brother of domestic dramas. To be precise,
is Liu Yunlong and .
Whether it is "The Conspiracy" on Douban, which broke through 9 points, or " Kite ", which scored 8.8 points, it is amazing.
has impeccable acting skills and even has high-level directing capabilities.
It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yunlong is the Ziweixing of our domestic spy dramas.
Although there has been no news for 7 years, fans of the drama have been disappointed, but everyone is still a little lucky.
At least, if it didn’t appear, it wouldn’t overturn, which shows that our big brother in the spy war genre is still invincible.
After all, bad spy dramas have emerged one after another in recent years, and even many powerful veteran dramas have been unable to escape the clutches of overturning.
From Wang Zhiwen in " Infinite ", to Wu Yue in "Thin Ice", to Jiang Xin and Huang Xiaoming and so on, the acting skills are all very good, but the dramas are all difficult to describe. .
And now that the first quarter of 2024 is about to pass, there is no spy drama to support the scene. Is there a "truce" this year?
It must be impossible, no, CCTV has finally taken action -
"The Wind and Waves" has been renamed "The Storm Chaser" and will be available to the audience tomorrow night on CCTV's eight prime time slots. Two episodes will be broadcast every night. Taojia can be watched online.
As CCTV's first blockbuster spy drama this year, can "Storm Chaser" follow the spring breeze and reach the top of the spy drama list?
The show has already begun -
The audience has watched a lot of spy wars, but you have never seen a spy war with financial themes.
During the Republic of China, people in Shanghai were in dire straits.
"Government-run banks are advancing, private banks are retreating."
"Only by swallowing them all can we determine the core position of our central bank."
A sudden explosion occurred in a bank, and people on the street were terrified. Shen Tunan ( Wang Yang ) looked at this scene with embarrassment.
His colleague asked incomprehensibly: We are not at war, so why are there so many artillery fires all day long?
And the two sentences above are the answer.
The economy is always the mainstay of a country, and in turbulent times, it is particularly important to grasp the economic lifeline.
Shen Tunan is a senior adviser to the central bank. He is used to seeing ups and downs in Vanity Fair. No matter what happens outside, it seems to have nothing to do with him.
But at this moment, a young man broke in.
Wei Ruolai (Wang Yibo) can actually use his superb IQ to deduce the trends of the stock market and even the operations behind the capitalists.
Shen Tunan accepted him as his apprentice and usually worked with him as his assistant.
Wei Ruolai thought that his life was about to reach its peak, but in the war-torn times, he was destined to be unable to pursue only his small dream.
witnessed his brother being hunted down as an underground party member. At the last moment of his life, the other party asked his younger brother to help him complete the joint task.
In this way, Shen Tunan better understood the cold-bloodedness of the capitalists and the other forces that secretly colluded to massacre the people.
At the same time, Wei Ruolai got acquainted with the underground party Shen Jinzhen ( Li Qin), and thus step by step firmly embarked on the road of red financiers.
What’s interesting is that Shen Jinzhen and Shen Tunan are still related. The story of the three people has three identities. Every line is particularly exciting. Just thinking about it makes me impatient.
Since it is a spy war drama that CCTV is fully promoting, the lineup must be right.
ranks first, Wang Yang.
I can only say that director Yao Xiaofeng really knows how to choose people, and Wang Yang fully brought his charm to the extreme in "The Storm Chaser".
is elegant and noble, but also full of bad intentions.As soon as Wang Yangguang opened his mouth in the
trailer, I could hear the sound of abacus beads crackling in his head.
Whether it is a serious smile or a contemptuous glance, a few knives are instantly revealed in those small eyes. As long as you look at them, they will be pierced into the pit of your heart.
The old fox with a smooth tone and high emotional intelligence is vividly portrayed.
established the character as soon as he appeared on the scene, and it was expected that he would part ways with the male protagonist later on.
ranked second, Li Qin.
So beautiful and cool.
Li Qin is an underground party member in the play, and at the same time he comes from a wealthy family. His spontaneous momentum makes the character come alive instantly.
is sharp, sensitive and full of killing intent, especially when performing tasks. She may seem weak but is very determined, like a beautiful female agent.
The sparks between Li Qin and Wang Yang are also very surprising. At first glance, the names of the two
don't sound like the same. However, when they actually appeared in the same frame and looked at each other, I could even feel the silent sparks flying.
This is a great match.
Of course, there is no supporting cast.
Old drama star Wang Xueqi hasn’t appeared for a long time. In the
trailer, he only has one sentence, and his sonorous and powerful lines coupled with his calm and sophisticated performance style directly reveal his identity to the audience.
In the drama, he is the superior of the female protagonist, and there may be scenes with the other two male protagonists in the future, which is very exciting.
actor Zhang Tianyang is a complete "drama face".
He was dressed neatly, but when he appeared, he was holding a hostage with a gun. He was obviously threatening with confidence, but he had "traitor" written all over his face. Not to mention
, at first glance, he is a bad agent to the core. It seems that there will be more highlight scenes in the future.
Of course, after all is said and done, whether "The Storm Chaser" can stand up still depends on the male protagonist -
Wang Yibo.
's first star-rated drama was a CCTV spy drama. I have to say that this guy's resources are really good.
With such a heavy burden on him, can he do it?
After watching the trailer, my answer is -
lines, great!
There were no shots of his facial features flying around. He was full of righteousness. When I raised my eyes, I really saw something in his eyes.
's vigorous sense of youth, coupled with his firm pursuit of ideals, he did not lose at all even when he was opposite Wang Yang. It seems that this time Wang Yibo is really going to attack the powerful group.
Conclusion
It has been too long since I have enjoyed a spy drama.
In the past few years, it’s not that everyone has tasted good food, but there are only a few that can truly be called “excellent”.
's plot is the same, the acting is lackluster, and bugs are everywhere, making the audience more and more upset as they watch it.
"Storm Chaser" starts from the financial industry and opens up a new field in the turbulent era to the audience. The appeal is self-evident.
is also supported by powerful actors, and the so-called "traffic actors" have also found a suitable track and highly adaptable characters. The new formula of
has a refreshing taste. This is the right track for seeking innovation in the spy war theme.
As for whether Wang Yang can once again present a masterpiece of word-of-mouth to the audience, whether Wang Yibo can successfully transform, and whether "The Storm Chaser" can refresh the ceiling of word-of-mouth?
See you tomorrow night at Yangba!
