is finally waiting in 2024 Here comes the comeback for domestic spy dramas!
To be honest, even after watching "The Storm Chaser", "When the Stars Shine", " Alone in the Lost City " and other works, I still haven't seen enough.
Fortunately, there are still many works of the same type in stock, such as "The Lonely Boat" starring Zhang Songwen, "Deep Diving" starring Cheng Yi, and "Deep Sea 1950" starring Yu Hewei, all of which are expected to become A hit series.
The one that met you earlier was "Deep Sea 1950" starring Yu Hewei and Wu Yue.
This drama appears in iQiyi’s 2024 drama library. Although the final special episode and the first trailer have not yet been released, it is already a certainty that it will be broadcast in the second half of the year.
And the summer schedule is the most conducive to the popularity of the drama. It is very likely to see this new drama again in August.
After reading the plot and cast, the hit drama is finally here!
1. A pure, orthodox spy drama without a love line
Domestic spy dramas were once a smash hit theme, but after this genre came out of the industry, a large amount of fresh meat traffic poured into the market. So much so that a spy drama It once became a popular subject for idol stars.
This also made the spy war drama market silent for a long time. It was not until the past two years that a large number of spy war dramas were broadcast.
However, it is precisely because it has been so popular that this type of story settings can easily become the same and lack new ideas. The difference lies in the casting.
"Deep Sea 1950" is a work that allows people to see some new ideas and is very pure and orthodox. These three major highlights are enough to arouse everyone's interest.
First, the particularity of the background of the times.
The most common background setting for spy war dramas is the Anti-Japanese War period, because multiple forces are entrenched in one place, which brings with it natural conflicts and contradictions.
The protagonist is in such an environment and becomes a spy with multiple identities, which is both reasonable and interesting.
But no matter how wonderful the setting is, once you watch it too much, it will make people feel bored.
The background of "Deep Sea 1950" is set in August 1949, which is a critical period when New China is about to be founded.
There are few works in the past that depict the story of this time period.
Once the dust has settled, there is no struggle between different forces.
Secondly, we have taken control of the overall situation, and everyone is waiting for victory.
The espionage work at this time seems to be less dangerous than before. It has changed from the enemy being obvious and our side being covert to being the enemy being covert.
But in "Deep Sea 1950", Wu Shi, who was waiting to welcome the liberation in Fuzhou, was suddenly appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the Deputy Minister of National Defense of the National Government.
The espionage work continued, but it was far away from the liberated areas and went to work in Taiwan Province, which was not yet liberated at the time.
This not only illustrates the necessity of espionage work, but also highlights the heroic image of the protagonist Wu Shi who sacrificed for the great cause of his family and country.
It can be said that this special era alone gives this drama a first-look spot.
Second, more difficult espionage work.
The reason why the work of "Deep Sea 1950" is more difficult is because in other times and other places, underground workers can help secretly even if we are in the dark.
But Wu Shi, who went to work in Taiwan Province, faced the dilemma of not having so many comrades to help him and having to work alone most of the time.
And as the deputy minister of defense, Wu Shi has a high position and the intelligence level he has access to is top secret. Once leaked, he will be quickly locked up.
Under such circumstances, Wu Shi still took advantage of the convenience of his work to provide our East China Bureau with important information about the changes in the military strength on Kinmen Island and the mobilization of the national army in the Southwest Campaign.
The increasing difficulty of the spy work also adds to the drama, but it is also destined to be more thrilling.
Third, the male and female protagonists have no emotional lines.
The most reassuring thing is that there will be no love scenes between the male and female protagonists in this drama.
You must know that the two protagonists have the largest proportion of scenes. Once there is a love line, a lot of plot must be sacrificed to tell the love story between the male and female protagonists.
And once espionage work is involved with love, there is bound to be more trouble.
However, the heroine Zhu Feng (played by Wu Yue) in this drama was originally going to return to Shanghai to reunite with her family. However, after she learned that Wu Shi's original traffic officer had died, she voluntarily gave up the opportunity to reunite her family and went to Taiwan Province to work.
Both sides have families, and the male and female protagonists are just each other’s right-hand assistants in espionage work. This setting makes the espionage flavor of "Deep Sea 1950" purer.
Second, Magnolia plays the leading role as Emperor Shi, and they all support the show.
There is no doubt that the cast is also the reason why "Deep Sea 1950" has so much expectations.
The male and female protagonists are Yu Hewei, who won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor for "The Age of Awakening".
One is Wu Yue, who won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress for " County Party Committee Courtyard ".
There is no need to worry about the drama selection and acting skills of Emperor Shihou. These two people alone can already control the acting level of the entire drama.
But apart from these two main actors, the supporting cast is also all drama.
has collaborated with Zhang Yimou in " River Red " and " Above the Cliff ", and played the role of Deng Ziyue's Yu Ailei in this year's hit costume drama " Celebrating More Than Years 2".
Lonnie, who brought the charm of Kochi women to the extreme with "Hurry", also worked with Yu Hewei in "City Within a City" earlier this year.
Yu Hewei's partner is also Cao Lei. The two have worked together in "The Awakening Age", and Cao Lei played the role of Lu Xun in the play.
Zhang Xilin, who is best at portraying negative images, has starred in dramas such as "The Judge" and "The Lost City" this year alone. This time he continues to perform spy dramas.
Tan Kai, who has appeared in dramas such as "", "Thirteen Years of Dust", "", will also make a surprise appearance in the drama.
In addition, Secretary Wang Zheng Jiabin in "Hurry Up", Li Jian who plays policeman Li Xiang, and Lu Xiucai Yu Entai in " Wulin Gaiden " are also here.
It can be said that every actor in this drama is familiar to everyone, and it can be called an all-star lineup.
Conclusion
With a good script and a top-notch cast, the creative team is also indispensable.
Director Yang Yazhou may be a little unfamiliar to everyone, but " Back to Back, Face to Face " with a score of 9.5 was written by Yang Yazhou.
In addition, he has also directed works such as "无码做乐" and "Ambush", all of which are well-received masterpieces.
It seems that "Deep Sea 1950" has everything ready, and it only needs the east wind to start broadcasting, and it can once again detonate the spy war drama market.
Do you think this new drama starring Yu Hewei and Wu Yue will be a hit?
