The quality of domestic dramas is getting better and better, and even the national master Zhang Yimou can't help but "come down to earth" to film TV dramas. Although

did not direct it himself, he served as a producer, and he was not good at the criminal investigation theme - "Snow Maze".

Although "Snow Maze" didn't have much publicity before, it was immediately confirmed as soon as there was news. You can watch this drama on CCTV 8 on September 3.

Zhang Yimou alone made me look forward to it, not to mention Huang Jingyu, Zhang Yu and other actors to help out, all of them are ruthless, CCTV found a treasure!

boldly predicts that "Snow Maze" will be the king drama in September.

1, the scale of major cases is full, and the pure Northeast flavor can satisfy the audience

"Snow Maze" sets the background of the story in the 1990s. Many cases occurred one after another in the small northeastern town of Haran, including murder cases and drug trafficking cases. , so a special investigation team was set up.

After watching the several trailers released so far, there is no reason not to follow it based on these two highlights.

The first highlight is handling the case.

Since "Snow Maze" is a criminal investigation suspense drama, cases are naturally inevitable. The story uses the murder case as the starting point, but behind the murder case is a drug trafficking case.

Because Ha Lan had not set up a special anti-drug team before this and was very inexperienced, so after forming the team, there was still a process of running in before a tacit cooperation could be established. In the trailer of

, in order to investigate the case, the anti-narcotics team disguised their identities to investigate. Sometimes they looked cool and retro, and sometimes they wore plain clothes and hid in the crowd. It can be said that they are a truly ever-changing team.

But the process of handling the case was obviously not smooth enough, or the people in the team were discouraged. As the captain, he could only find ways to cheer up the team members.

Or in the process of arresting the suspect, he was hit by a strong man with a big waist and black eyes.

I have seen so many anti-drug teams created by criminal investigation dramas. Almost all of them are talented people with high IQs and are particularly good at fighting. But this team is a little different. They are all newbies and are in constant trouble.

It depends on how they handle cases and how they grow.

The second most interesting thing is the Northeast atmosphere.

The story takes place in the Northeast. Needless to say, there is a sense of suspense. The snowy winter seems to be more suitable for hiding all kinds of secrets and is a natural hotbed of suspense.

But what’s even more arresting is the sense of comedy inherent in Northeastern people.

This newly formed anti-narcotics team has a lot of talents, including trace experts, a policewoman with incredible force, and a chemical expert from the south.

In order to welcome this southern colleague, the hospitality of the Northeastern people must be properly arranged for him.

First of all, food culture. In the trailer of

, the anti-drug team eats different things every day. Professor Nanfang comes and takes him to eat pork stewed with vermicelli first.

Originally, rice was served in small bowls in the South. But in the Northeast, a bowl of Wuchang rice, topped with pork and stewed vermicelli, filled the professor's stomach directly.

As a loser, I couldn’t help but drool just by seeing the color of this rich red sauce.

Then there are the big stick bones, the big chicken rack on the basin, the iron pots where people sit together to stew, as well as pies, braised noodles, small barbecues and so on.

Every meal is different, and you can fully feel the food culture of Northeast China.

Secondly, bathing culture.

When a colleague from the south arrives in the Northeast, he will definitely not adapt to the climate. How can we help him adapt quickly? Just take it with you to take a bath and keep it warm.

Everyone was naked in the big bathhouse, and a bunch of people were lying down in a pool to take a bath. Professor Nanfang was wrapped up tightly, and he couldn't let go after entering the bathhouse. The curled up look was so funny.

After eating, I felt refreshed and felt the atmosphere of the Northeast.

And the sense of joy is interspersed in the plot, which makes people laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt. The anti-narcotics team searched for clues, and the trace science expert took a large meat sausage from someone else's house and studied it carefully for a long time.

Do you think he is looking for clues from a professional perspective? The next second came a Northeastern dialect that smelled like dirt, "The water he drinks here is more fragrant than what my uncle drinks."

But southerners are not used to it when they go to the north. They wear a thin windbreaker and keep sneezing, and they hear Zheng Zheng. Bei (played by Huang Jingyu) spoke to him with an authentic Northeastern accent:

"Brother, hurry up and pull your arms up. What kind of look do you want? In this Northeast, you can't beat it."

Good guy, wait a minute. My wife took me to the three eastern provinces.

The Northeastern suspense and Northeastern comedy are both pure enough!

Second, Huang Jingyu plays a policeman again, and many talented actors join

. Zhang Yimou serves as the producer, and Lu Xing, who has directed "Undocumented Crime" and "The Returned Daughter", can naturally attract a wave of good actors.

Huang Jingyu, who is serving in the military in the entertainment industry, continues to serve in the military. This time he plays an anti-narcotics policeman. He has already challenged the same type of role in "Operation Icebreaker", so maintaining his image is not a problem at all.

The fair-skinned, humble and gentle Wang Ziqi also fits the character of a chemistry expert from the south. He had previously played with Huang Jingyu in "He Came from the Fire", so the two must have a perfect chemistry.

Zhang Xueyao, played by Xie Keyin, is eye-catching. In Zheng Bei's words, she is "Mad Dog Yao". The various fighting scenes in the trailer of

are not to mention, each move is quite fierce, and the role of a tough and hot Northeastern girl is so right!

In addition, there are many powerful actors joining the show.

ranked first, Liu Wei.

Liu Wei, who has starred in "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Houses" and "The Wind Blowing Pinellia", plays a character in "Snow Maze" that seems very deep at first glance. Even a fleeting shot can make people feel his calmness and restraint. This is the strength of the veteran actor.

second place, Liang Guanhua.

How many viewers saw this face and the first thing they thought of was Di Renjie?

This time, Liang Guanhua plays Zheng Bei’s father, a carefree and typical middle-aged man from the Northeast. The image of a fat head and a big brain is so down-to-earth!

The third place is Ding Jiali.

Ding Jiali, who has played bad guys countless times, finally plays a good guy. She plays Zheng Bei's mother. In the trailer, she serves two large plates of dumplings to the anti-drug team, which looks very life-like.

With these actors, the acting level will naturally not be bad.

Conclusion

I have one thing to say. There are indeed many Northeastern suspense dramas I have watched in the past two years, including many high-quality works like " Double Detective " and " The Long Season ".

But "Snow Maze" still makes people feel fresh, because it not only integrates the growth of the anti-drug team into the plot, but also brings the unique Northeastern atmosphere to the screen, and even has a strong atmosphere of the times.

Even the control of comedy is very good. It can be predicted that "Snow Maze" will be a work with rich highlights.

This drama is also supported by CCTV’s strong ratings base, so it is a sure bet that it will be a hit.
