The competition in the mainland TV drama market in February can be described as fierce, and many TV dramas have taken a fancy to the traffic of the Spring Festival stalls and have chosen to start broadcasting around the Spring Festival, but the results have made the drama party dumbfounded. Except for CCTV's New Year's drama "South to North", which has achieved good ratings and popularity, the rest of the TV series have all failed, not only the popularity is pitiful, but the word-of-mouth can't bear to look at it directly, which can be said to be a complete loss.
With the continuous deepening of the plot of "South to North", the ratings of this drama have also soared, and in the past two days, it has broken 3 one after another, and the peak has reached an astonishing 375, quite a break of 4, can be said to be in the limelight, and it is directly going to the explosion.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current "South to North" has occupied the right time and place, and has almost monopolized the current TV drama market. However, it was in this extremely unfavorable situation that a TV series was officially announced. This can't help but make people sigh, what kind of drama is so brave that it dares to be tough "South to North".
On February 19, the TV series "Ice Hunting" was officially announced, and the show will be officially launched on the evening of the 21st (that is, tonight) on Tencent**. After the news of the finalization was announced, it caused heated discussions among many people, and many people were not optimistic about this drama, thinking that this drama would be cannon fodder again.
In fact, although this drama is webcast, it is full of highlights. "Ice Hunting" is a police drama about drug-related themes, mainly telling the story of the anti-narcotics police's unremitting pursuit of drug trafficking syndicates and finally succeeded in exterminating drug gangs. Judging from the synopsis of the story, this drama has a bit of "Icebreaker", but it is still a question whether the finished film can have the level of "Icebreaker".
Regarding this, you don't have to worry at all, because the director of this drama is none other than Gao Qunshu. Who is Gao Qunshu? He is a top director and screenwriter in the mainland, especially good at the creation of police and crime films, and his representative works include popular word-of-mouth film and television dramas such as "Conquest" and "The Wind", and the movie "Detective Hunter Zhang" directed by him has won the Golden Horse Award. For crime themes, Gao Qunshu has long been familiar with it, and I am not worried about the quality of the script when he is in charge of this drama.
If you want to say the biggest attraction of this drama, it has to be the male advocate ode. After seeing this familiar name, I finally understood the confidence of this show.
Last year's "Hurricane" completely made Zhang Songwen popular, and he really entered the audience's field of vision with the role of Gao Qiqiang, making everyone remember this middle-aged actor with superb acting skills. From an honest fishmonger to a ruthless gangster, Zhang Songwen vividly portrays the complexity of this role. So much so that the audience sighed after watching it: This role is not like being played, and it is recommended to check Zhang Songwen. It can be seen that everyone recognizes Mr. Zhang Songwen's acting skills.
This time, Zhang Songwen once again challenged the villain role in the play, playing Huang Zongwei as a big drug dealer. This character has a lot of similarities with Gao Qiqiang, both of them look loyal on the outside, but they are both thoughtful and good at planning and calculating; At the same time, they are all ruthless, and they are not merciful to those who stand in their way and those who threaten them. This kind of role is simply tailor-made for Zhang Songwen, and this time we can see a classic villain image again.
In the list of starring actors, we also saw an acquaintance - Han Geng, this time he played the role of Adong in the play, and he is also a villain. Han Geng, who debuted as a singer, was also a smash hit, and after transforming into a big screen, he started his second career with the "Ex" series, although Han Geng starred in many movies, but his acting skills were really not flattering, so he urgently needed a subversive role to prove himself.
In Ice Hunting, Han Geng plays a drug lord. Judging from the trailer, Han Geng's performance is quite good, whether it is lines, expression management or action scenes, there has been a lot of improvement, and the rivalry between him and Zhang Songwen has also been caught, and the state of the whole scene is still quite exciting.
In contrast, the heroine of this drama is a bit worrying. This time, the director did not choose the traffic Xiaohua, nor did he choose a powerful actress, but let Yao Anna serve as the heroine of the play. This Yao Anna is the daughter of Huawei boss Ren Zhengfei, who debuted as a singer in 2021, has little acting experience, and has only made a guest appearance in "Going to a Windy Place".
In this play, Yao Anna plays the heroine Zhao Younan, who is a police officer. It is worth mentioning that this is her second play, she played the heroine in the second part, and the opponent actor is a drama bone like Zhang Songwen, everyone can't help but question her acting skills. Judging from the trailer, Yao Anna's short hair style looks very capable, and her arms also have lines, and she should be fit for the role, and her appearance is basically in line with the image of a policeman. I just don't know how the drama is, so I have to wait for the broadcast to know.
Unlike other S+ productions, this drama does not have a very strong cast, and the only supporting roles that everyone is more familiar with are Bao Wenjing, Zhao Longhao, Bao Bell, Peng Yuyu, Zhu Hongjia and others. Although there are not too many well-known actors in this drama, as long as the plot is good enough, it can still achieve good results, and dramas such as "The Royal Gift" and "Ancient Lovesickness" are the best examples.
In fact, the main focus of this drama is not the cast, but the tense and exciting plot. In the trailer, this drama has a lot of gunfight scenes and fight scenes, highlighting a strong one. The drug trafficking forces of all parties in the play calculate each other, and it is also a highlight to see Zhang Songwen strategizing, how to get rid of them one by one.
With Mr. Zhang Songwen here, coupled with Gao Qunshu, the boss of the police drama, I believe that this drama is not far behind. There have been a lot of dramas broadcast in recent times, but there are only a handful of them that really attract the audience, and now this anti-drug drama starring Zhang Songwen is about to start, I believe there will be many people chasing this drama, so, will you watch it?
