The spring of middle-aged actors is finally here!

Just looking at this year’s Magnolia Award nominations and winners, you will know that the most popular ones are the middle-aged and powerful ones.

Hu Ge in " Blossoms " defeated veteran actor Fan Wei and successfully won the best actor. The best actress was Hua Luo's "Imperfect Victim" heroine Zhou Xun.

The next Chinese drama market will still be supported by middle-aged actors.

Among them, Yu Hewei, the top actor in the uncle circle, has two upcoming dramas worth looking forward to.

The first one is "Deep Sea 1950" starring Wu Yue. It is not only a spy war theme, but also adapted from real events.

Yu Hewei plays the role of General Wu Shi in the play. When the Anti-Japanese War achieved complete victory, he hid his true identity and went deep into the enemy camp to provide us with important intelligence.

This is a work with a popular subject matter and one that allows Yu Hewei to have a clear target.

also has "I Am a Detective" starring and Ding Yongdai . Although no trailer has been released yet, this drama has appeared in CCTV's upcoming drama list for the third and fourth quarters.

Compared to the former, I am looking forward to Yu Hewei's "I Am a Detective". This CCTV 40-episode criminal investigation drama has a strong lineup and it is difficult to think whether it will be popular.

One, a panoramic display of the criminal police industry, a "help-and-lead" group drama

It is not that there have been no works showing the criminal police industry in the Chinese drama market. It is even felt that most criminal investigation dramas and suspense dramas revolve around criminal police.

It’s just that for ordinary people, there are not many opportunities to contact criminal police, and most of the work of this type of police is focused on major cases, which is different from the common civilian police and film police in real life.

therefore showcases the criminal police industry, not only to break the distance with the audience and bring everyone closer to this profession, but also to connect it with very standard real cases.

Judging from the plot summary, "I Am a Detective" has nothing fancy, but is a more realistic and down-to-earth work.

Qin Chuan, who graduated from the police academy, and his friends Ye Maosheng and Li Wen returned to their hometown with "heroic dreams and criminal police dreams" and became ordinary policemen at the police station.

The huge gap between reality and ideals did not stop him from pursuing his dream. By chance, Qinchuan subdued the gangster who was about to cause an explosion with his bare hands, thus starting his career as a criminal police officer.

The story officially begins here. The early stage is just a foreshadowing. What the series really wants to tell is the story of Qin Chuan after he became a criminal police officer.

Under the leadership of his superiors, he gradually grew up and matured, and solved many major cases that shocked the country. His friend Ye Maosheng died heroically while arresting the gangsters, which made Qin Chuan more deeply aware of the responsibilities of the criminal police.

Under the training, education and encouragement of senior criminal investigators, Qinchuan stood at a higher perspective and actively participated in the practice of police reform and criminal investigation team building.

led the team to successfully solve many long-standing cases, and established a criminal investigation system and a three-in-one information platform to create a modern and professional criminal investigation team. Finally, he realized his dream and became an outstanding Chinese criminal investigation team. Detective.

It can be seen from this point that this drama not only starts with a specific criminal policeman, but also talks about the various problems encountered by the entire group and criminal policemen in the great changes of the times, and the innovations that develop with the times.

As a panoramic work that shows the glorious history of China's criminal investigation in the past 35 years, "I Am a Detective" uses group portraits of three generations of old, middle and young people to "help and guide", as well as the real investigation process of a series of major and important cases, to give a detailed account of China's criminal investigation heroes. The group performed comprehensively and sang.

The series will follow the real documentary methods of public security criminal police to solve crimes, use images to re-travel this hero, and bring you a masterpiece of criminal investigation epic.

Second, Yu Hewei takes the leading role, Ding Yongdai joins the game, and it is a good drama

"I Am a Detective". The reason why people are looking forward to it without even releasing a trailer is precisely because of the strong cast.

In this drama, Yu Hewei, who plays the leading role, is an old acquaintance of everyone. Although he had already performed classic roles such as Uncle Liu Huang before he debuted in "The Awakening Age", Yu Hewei, who was a late bloomer, really made his mark through the main theme drama. gained popularity.

After being promoted to the top of the entertainment industry, Yu Hewei was not trapped by a certain type of role. Instead, he tried more possibilities, such as directly entering the big screen, which was unexpected.

first played the role of a seemingly gentle gentleman in " Assassins Novelist ", but in reality was a vicious villain. Later, in " on the Cliff ", he portrayed the hidden character of the villain. Underground worker Zhou Yi.

In this drama, Yu Hewei's partner is Zhang Yi, another top actor in the uncle circle. In front of Zhang Yimou's favorite actor, not only did he not show any timidity, he even stole the limelight.

then returned to the TV drama market, and he starred in "Ideal City" and "三级". It is not difficult to see that Yu Hewei can act in any kind of drama.

Starring in "I Am a Detective" was not a challenge for He Wei, but a return to his comfort zone, because he had appeared in "Captain of the Detectives" before this.

plays a criminal policeman again, which is natural for He Wei.

Ding Yongdai, the second male lead in this drama, had previously played the role of a father in "人世" that moved countless viewers to tears.

The typical Chinese father image was played by Ding Yongdai and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was this drama that made Ding Yongdai, who was over fifty years old, start to play important roles in various major dramas.

Like Yu Hewei, Ding Yongdai also switches between the big screen and the small screen at will. On the big screen there are " Fengshen Part 1 ", on the small screen there are "Welcome to Maile Village", "South to North" and other works.

Among them, in "South to North", Ding Yongdai plays a railway policeman, which is similar to the image in "I Am a Detective".

In addition, in this drama there is also Hu Ming who has appeared in "Mountains and Seas", " Longling Miku ", as well as "Police Honor", " Dajiang Dahe ", "Who is He" Among the actors are Zhao Yang, Cao Jun, Sun Hao, Wang Maolei and others.

Looking at the configuration, "I Am a Detective" is not even inferior to He Wei's previous work "City Within a City".

Conclusion

Both Yu Hewei and Ding Yongdai’s vision for drama selection is worthy of everyone’s recognition, and both actors have chosen the drama "I Am a Detective", which has shown from the side that the quality is considerable.

Although the two actors no longer need works to prove their strength, they still need to deliver more high-quality works to maintain their existing popularity with the audience.

Nowadays, the popularity of industry dramas is very impressive. This "I Am a Detective" is another orthodox industry drama. I hope to push this type of subject matter to the peak.

Are you looking forward to this "I Am a Detective" starring He Wei and Ding Yongdai?
