The spy war dramas in 2023 are really disappointing, from "Infernal" at the beginning of the year to "Stalker" in the summer vacation, and then to "Thrush" at the end of the year, each one is hopelessly rotten.
But the spy war drama in 2024 is a little different, and it is gradually showing signs of recovery.
Liu Yunlong directed and acted in "Dream Bund", the sixth brother incarnated as a financial expert, preventing the enemy from grabbing real gold from the land of the motherland on the hidden front**.
In "Harbin 1944" directed by Zhang Li, Qin Hao is double-faced, and he has a life-and-death duel with spies in the icy and snowy black land.
But if you want to say that the most explosive potential, you have to count the 38-episode anti-special drama "Night and Dawn". Not long ago, the play was also selected for CCTV's 2024 General Administration Grandstand Film List, which will be broadcast in the first quarter of the Year of the Dragon.
The story revolves around 1950, telling the story of the first generation of public security soldiers in New China in order to maintain the worst conditions in danger, and staged a battle of wits and courage with the enemy.
The strength of the male protagonist Nie Yuan is undoubted, Lu Zhengyang, who he plays in the play, was originally an experienced veteran, and after retiring from the army, he became a backbone of the anti-special front in Shanghai.
From a veteran soldier in military uniform to a ** in civilian clothes, Nie Yuan's innate perseverance and temperament are naturally suitable for the role. Especially the slightly vicissitudes of life, giving people an aura of stability.
Although Lu Zhengyang is extraordinary and cool-headed, he has faced the big spy Zheng Lanting several times, but he has escaped skillfully because he is not familiar with the local environment.
In the face of the menacing enemy, after strict screening, he boldly used Lin Shaobai, a young police officer known as a "jack of all trades", as his partner.
Lin Shaobai is played by Chen Zheyuan, a popular actor who has emerged in the past two years, although he is from an idol drama, his acting skills are still quite guaranteed.
In the play, he is full of enthusiasm and courage, and he has constant friction with Lu Zhengyang at the beginning. After the two successively cracked the "Vault Robbery" and "Hidden Radio Case", they gradually became comrades-in-arms who shared life and death.
As we all know, it is not enough for the spy war theme to be outstanding, and a strong villain can make the story more interesting. And the villain of this show can be described in his lifetime.
Wang Zhiwen has been intensively cultivating the theme of spy warfare for many years and has created many popular images.
Zheng Lanting, who plays him in this play, is the number one spy lurking in Shanghai, thoughtful, good at winning people's hearts and fighting financial warfare, and his sharp eyes seem to be able to see through your mind at a glance.
Zheng Lanting has a high prestige in both political and business circles, and on the surface he is a patriotic businessman, but in fact he secretly hoards Juqi and uses his connections and resources to drive up prices. And then borrow a knife to kill people and get rid of his competitors, which is definitely a ruthless character.
Wang Jinsong is also an old acquaintance of everyone, and he can easily control his solid acting skills, whether he is a decent or a villain.
In this play, he plays Mao Sen, who is a military commander and was the stationmaster of Shanghai Station, ruthless and ruthless. As Zheng Lanting's boss and backing, he spared no effort to provide resources and intelligence for the former to prepare for **.
Although the old drama bone Ni Dahong is nearly seventy years old, he still maintains an excellent mental state in the play, especially his perfect acting skills, which is especially suitable for playing the role of an old treacherous and cunning.
He plays Kim Pleia-chang, a shrewd businessman who belongs to the type of grass falling in the wind. At first, he took refuge in Zheng Lanting and made a lot of money, but later he was moved by the righteous behavior of Lu Zhengyang and his daughter, and realized a change of faith.
has these three major drama bones sitting on the villain, which has invisibly raised the ceiling of the whole drama, which really fills the audience's expectations.
In addition, the supporting cast of this play is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Sun Yan, Feng Bing, Wen Zhengrong, Liu Tianzuo, Kong Lin and other actors, all of whom have good strength.
In the author's opinion, if you play a good hand, you are really sorry for the audience. I hope that the directors and screenwriters of "Night and Dawn" can respect history, keep up with the previous classics such as "Latent" and "Cliff", and let the spy war drama fight a beautiful turnaround.
