Recently, the news that the two highly anticipated TV series "South to North" and "The Case of Tang Di Gong" has caused heated discussions among many audiences.
It should be said that with the approach of the Spring Festival schedule, in the context of the surge in the popularity of the film market, TV dramas are indeed a little cold, even deserted, and the launch of these two works is expected to greatly increase the ratings in the field of TV dramas.
The former "South to North" is positioned as a period drama, starring Bai Jingting, Jin Chen, Ding Yongdai, etc., and in terms of the main creative team, senior film and television talents such as Gao Mantang and Zheng Xiaolong participated, which can be described as a proper powerful alliance.
The latter "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is led by Zhou Yiwei, Zhang Jiayi, Wang Likun, Zhong Chuxi, etc., and is positioned as a costume suspense detective drama, which will be presented in a unit drama mode, and the main creative team is directed by Li Yunliang and the article, which is also a combination of strong and powerful lineups.
From the perspective of the story structure of the two works, "South to North" focuses on the special group of railway public security, and shows the development history of China's railway industry with the silent dedication and hard work of two generations of railway public security personnel, as well as the rapid and earth-shaking changes that have taken place in the whole country after the reform and opening up.
The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty is adapted from the writer Gao Luopei's work of the same name, with the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty as the background of the story, and re-depicts the story of "Di Renjie" who solved one mystery case after another with his ingenuity and careful thinking, and finally successfully resolved the huge crisis faced by Chang'an City.
Judging from the overall story of the two works, whether it is "South to North" shows the great development of the motherland's railway industry with two ordinary railway public security front-line policemen, or "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" solves the case with the core protagonist "Di Renjie" to show the beautiful scenery of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.
It can be said that the model of small perspective, big theme, small people, and big era makes the overall positioning of the two works very high, and to a certain extent, it will also provide good blessings for later works to impact awards in the field of TV dramas.
In addition, in terms of casting, "South to North" has the older generation of powerful Ding Yongdai, as well as cutting-edge artists Bai Jingting and Jin Chen.
And "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is even more "luxurious", with the older generation of artists including Zhang Jiayi, Wang Likun, as well as Li Naiwen and Li Chen, and new artists such as Zhou Yiwei, Zhang Ruoyun, Zhong Chuxi and other familiar faces to the audience.
Since the play adopts a unit drama model, different plot units will involve an incompatible cast, and will be connected by the core character "Di Renjie" played by Zhou Yiwei, so in terms of overall effect presentation, different character images of each unit will also be displayed due to different combinations of actors.
In any case, it is expected that these two scheduled "South to North" and "Tang Di Gong Case" will live up to the audience's expectations, and raise the ratings in the field of TV dramas to a new height with high-quality period dramas and costume dramas.
