In the domestic drama market in recent years, there is a theme that has made audiences "uneasy" the most, and that is spy dramas.
's previous films "The Conspiracy", "Insidious" and " Kite " are all classics in the domestic drama market, and there are many spy war dramas that audiences have never forgotten.
Nowadays, the "golden age" of spy dramas seems to be gone forever. In recent years, only "Renegades", " Stalker " and "Storm Chaser" have achieved good popularity and reputation.
But other spy war dramas are a bit difficult to describe. This year, "Harbin 1944", "When the Stars Shine", " Lost City " and "Lone Boat" all had many flaws and received mediocre responses.
It is simply difficult for audiences to watch a decent spy drama nowadays.
However, don’t be too disappointed. This time CCTV took action and produced a spy drama.
" rival " will be broadcast on CCTV 8 prime time starting from November 7th.
This drama has a clear plot line, fast pace, fierce conflicts, and a strong cast. This should be the most anticipated spy drama after "Storm Chaser".
01 Entering the game with one's own body and outsmarting the enemy's special agents
"Old Enemy" tells the story of National Security Police Officer Wu Yu ( Liao Fan) who took off his police uniform because of a secret theft case 19 years ago. In the past 19 years, he has wandered around the world, insisting on pursuing the truth of that year.
At Wu Yu's insistence, he battled wits and courage with the enemy, and finally unveiled the veil of disguise.
It can be seen from the trailer and synopsis that the biggest difference between this drama and previous spy war dramas is that most of the previous spy wars were spy battles in a historical context, while this drama is an anti-special, anti-special, and anti-special drama in a modern context. Counter espionage.
Among them, there are two highlights that are worth looking forward to.
First, after many years of tracking, the blood is hard to cool down.
As a spy war drama with the theme of national security and counter-intelligence, this drama also has some criminal investigation elements mixed in, especially the male protagonist’s experience of chasing the murderer for many years.
In the play, Wu Yu's fate took a turn because of the theft of top-secret files from the 14th Academy of Aerospace City. He left his stable job and his soon-to-be-married lover, and his temperament changed drastically.
Over the years, he has been hiding in the world of rivers and lakes, doing odd jobs, delivering food, and boxing. With only the few clues, he has been tracking the truth of the year.
Brother Hu Xiafeng (played by Li Jian) and his former brother Hu Xiafeng His boss Luo Ping (played by Zhang Zhijian) persuaded him to let it go, but his life has long been tied to this case.
Wu Yu in this drama is a lone brave man hiding in the darkness. His experience is the main line of the plot. The audience follows his perspective to gradually uncover the mystery, which makes it easier for the audience to resonate and give them a greater sense of involvement. .
The second is that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the dark, fighting wits and courage.
The most exciting thing in spy dramas is the game between good and evil, and this drama is no exception.
Wu Yu's only clue in the play is the tattoo on the real murderer who stole the secret. He is also the only person who has seen the real murderer. So Wu Yu entered the situation personally and appeared beside him in various identities to find evidence.
The real murderer Zhang Chi (played by Qidao) has been hiding under the eyes of the police for several years and is extremely cunning, and he also knows that Wu Yu has always been around him.
There were undercurrents between the two of them passing each other, and there was also a fierce conflict of racing and chasing people. In this smoke-free confrontation, Wu Yu fought step by step and fought to the death.
The drama shows the ups and downs of this secret front, and uses Wu Yu's struggle to demonstrate his belief in adhering to justice, adhering to the bottom line, and never looking back.
's setting that combines espionage and criminal investigation is more in line with the background of the plot and more in line with the audience's taste.
02 has a strong cast.
ranks first, Liao Fan.
Liao Fan is definitely a powerful actor. His appearance is rough but his performance is very delicate. He has appeared in the movies "Let the Bullets Fly" and " Evil Cannot Suppress Righteousness ".
Suspense and criminal investigation themes can best showcase Liao Fan's acting skills. In "The Silent Truth", his role as Yan Liang is still fresh in the audience's memory.
In the new drama, Liao Fan plays Wu Yu, who is brave, strategic, loyal and tenacious. In the trailer of
, after Wu Yu experienced the secret theft case, his temperament was turned upside down, his expression was sinister, and he stared straight at the person opposite him, without saying a word and half-smiling, which made people's hair stand on end.
This drama stars Liao Fan and will definitely not disappoint the audience.
is second, Zhuzhu.
It’s hard not to impress the audience with Zhu Zhu’s combination of good looks and acting skills. In " Rose Story ", " Sunshine with Me " and " Golden Years ", Zhu Zhu's performance is very eye-catching.
And this is not the first time Zhu Zhu has appeared in a spy drama. Her role as Lan Xinjie in "Rebel" has become a regret in the hearts of many viewers.
In the new drama, Zhu Zhu plays Huang Xiao, who should be the owner of the bar in the drama. A pink wig and exaggerated makeup are very different from the elegant and dignified image Zhu Zhu gave the audience in the past.
In the trailer, Huang Xiao is leaning on the door panel, looking at the money in his hand and unable to help but shed tears. This character should have a close relationship with Wu Yu.
Zhu Zhu’s interpretation of Huang Xiao is worth looking forward to.
third place, Li Jian.
Audiences are definitely no strangers to Li Jian. They will definitely still remember his role as Li Xiang in "Hurry". Li Jian has a resolute and decent appearance, which gives him a unique advantage in playing roles like police officers.
In the new drama, Li Jian plays the role of policeman Hu Xiafeng. He has a calm and reserved personality. He should be Wu Yu's colleague and friend.
Li Jian is already familiar with playing this kind of role, so there is no need to worry about his performance.
ranked fourth, Zhang Zhijian.
Veteran actor Zhang Zhijian’s acting skills are undoubted. He is also a regular actor in the "public prosecutors and judicial system" in domestic dramas. Meng Dehai in "Hurry" and Gao Yuliang in "In the Name of the People" are both classics created by Zhang Zhijian. Role.
In the new drama, Zhang Zhijian plays Luo Ping, Wu Yu’s boss, who is strategizing and mature.
Zhang Zhijian stood there dressed as a police officer, and his image was already established. Such a role should be played by an experienced actor.
In addition, there are actors such as Kai Tai and Qi Dao in the drama. There are many talented actors starring in it. It is difficult to think of the plot of this drama as exciting.
03 Conclusion
It is a classic spy war drama. The routines are basically the same, but both the logic of the plot and the actors' portrayal of the characters are quite excellent, so it is almost impossible for the audience to get tired of it.
In recent years, it is difficult for spy war dramas to produce hits. There are also new attempts in plots to combine espionage wars with other themes. For example, "Storm Chaser" integrates financial and business wars, which also has good effects.
The same is true for this "Enemy". Judging from the trailer, the integration of criminal investigation elements also adds a lot to the plot.
So whether it is an old routine or a new format, as long as the quality of the plot is online, there will always be viewers who pay for it.
believes that this spy drama can become a dark horse in the domestic drama market, allowing spy dramas to break through the current haze.
