The period drama "South to North" has been launched! 
The train runs fast because of the headband. Whether it is a period drama or other dramas, if you want to be popular and attract the audience, one depends on the plot, and the other depends on the performance of the actors. As a period drama on CCTV's Year of the Dragon film list, what story does "South to North" tell? 
"South to North" is also known as "Three Trees", screenwriter Gao Mantang wrote this original work after three years of field collection. "South to North" began in 1978, telling the story of Ma Kui, a veteran criminal policeman, and Wang Xin, a young policeman, two generations of railway public security officers spanning 40 years. 
In 1978, on the steam train from Ningyang to Hacheng, the young policeman Wang Xin (played by Bai Jingting) was on duty for the first time, and he mistakenly arrested Ma Kui (played by Ding Yongdai), a veteran criminal policeman of the railway public security, and the two became masters and apprentices and fought side by side on the front line of railway public security. 
On this railway line, in the past 40 years, they have experienced the era of steam locomotives, electric locomotives, and bullet trains and high-speed railways, and witnessed the great achievements of the motherland and the great changes in people's lives. Wang Xin, Ma Kui as the representative of the front-line railway public security police, anti-pickpocketing, anti-trafficking, anti-narcotics, patrol lines, guard, crack down on theft, robbery and fraud, anti-crime and evil, for decades like a day to solve big cases, solve small cases, send warmth to passengers, and share harmony. 
In order to protect the safety of people's lives and property, railway public security officers and police officers even sacrificed their precious lives. The passengers who come and go on the train, with different imprints of each period, show the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the various states of life. The new and old generations of police officers have also been sublimated in their own life experiences, loyal to the police spirit, and passed on the torch. 
In the play, Wang Xin and Ma Kui's daughter Ma Yan are classmates. Ma Kui and Wang Xin have passed on the torch, and it is estimated that Wang Xin will eventually become Ma Kui's son-in-law. After all, the railway system is a relatively independent unit, and the marriage between men and women is also internally digested and combined. Will there be twists and turns in the love story of Wang Xin and Ma Yan, which is a major highlight of the show. 
Secondly, in the play, Ma Kui and Wang Xin solved many big and small cases. Railway public security and local public security, what is the difference between their working methods? In the railway public security, are there any internal ghosts who collude with criminals, and how does the railway system deal with internal ghosts and corrupt elements? I hope that such a plot can be properly shown in "South to North". If so, it's also a highlight. 
Finally, the development of railways has gone through different stages, from steam to electricity to high-speed rail. In the process of development, how has the social security situation of the railway station evolved, how has the railway system changed, and what have the railway employees experienced in the face of change? This is the third highlight of the show. 
After talking about the plot, let's take a look at the cast team. The cast team of "South to North" is very strong, a typical combination of old, middle and young. The old drama bones represented by Ding Yongdai and Ni Dahong have no acting skills. 
Ding Yongdai played the role of Ma Kui, a railway criminal policeman, in "South to North". Ding Yongdai is an old actor, he has played a gangster, and even a policeman, so he doesn't have to worry about his acting skills at all.
In "South to North", Ni Dahong plays the role of an old blind man. Ni Dahong is also an old drama bone, in "South to North", he can only play a supporting role, you can think about how heavy this drama is. Ni Dahong played Duan Yuguo in "Garland Under the Mountain", and the company commander Liang Sanxi sacrificed to cover him. In "Ming Dynasty", Ni Dahong, at the age of 47, vividly interpreted the image of Yan Song's aging dragon bell and the scheming of the city government.
The middle-aged actors represented by Hu Ke and Zuo Xiaoqing have nothing to say about their acting skills. These former goddesses, in "South to North", all played railway families and housewives. However, judging from the stills, their demeanor is still the same. The middle-aged generation is the pillar.
The young actors, needless to say, are represented by Jin Chen and Bai Jingting. The younger generation, if they want to take over the baton and become the locomotive, if they want to take the lead, the difficulty and pressure are not small, not only in TV dramas, but also in all walks of life in reality.
Bai Jingting played Ma Kui's apprentice Wang Xin in "South to North". Bai Jingting once played the role of Xing Kelei, the captain of the SWAT Tiger Commando Team in "You Are My City Barracks". The love setting of the male special police officer and the female doctor is particularly eye-catching, including Bai Jingting, almost all the acting skills of the actors in the whole drama are **, and the audience generally gave praise.
Jin Chen played Ma Kui's daughter Ma Yan in "South to North". In the previously released "All or Nothing", Jin Chen played Liang Anna, and her eye expression when expressing the character's inner world made the audience feel a strong sense of substitution and resonance.
If the three generations of the old, middle and young generations are compared to steam locomotives, electric locomotives and bullet train high-speed rail, the younger generation is the high-speed railway, I hope Jin Chen and Bai Jingting can lead it. "South to North" From today, CCTV-8** will update 2 episodes at 19:30 every night. Chinese New Year's Eve, the fifth day of the new year update 1 episode, the Spring Festival continues to change.
In 2022, the broadcast of the period drama "The World" will rewrite the audience's comprehensive evaluation of domestic dramas. As a period drama, "The World" has been sought after by audiences of all ages, setting off a wave of drama watching. In addition to the actors, screenwriters, directors and cameras, in terms of the depth and meaning of the story, "The World" also surpasses other dramas. Can "South to North" surpass "The World"? Judging from the plot and actors, it is estimated that there is not much of a problem.
