The Spring Festival is approaching, and good dramas meet. "South to North", directed by Zheng Xiaolong and written by Gao Mantang, will land on the central 8** file tonight and will be broadcast online simultaneously. 
As a drama series that "focuses on a companion-style happy New Year", although "South to North" is a period drama, the tone is not heavy, the atmosphere is very relaxed, and it is quite a bit of "New Year". What's more, from the subject matter to the main line of the characters, to the cast, they are all full of highlights. 
The protagonist of the story focused on by "South to North" is a railway policeman who is not often seen in domestic dramas. Director Zheng Xiaolong and screenwriter Gao Mantang borrowed the stories of Ma Kui and Wang Xin, the masters and apprentices in the play, to present the audience with the 40 years of development of China's railways and the "soul" of railway police. In the play, there are two "main scenes", one large and one small. The big one is the first line of railway public security where the master and apprentice fight side by side, that is, the train that comes from the south to the north; The small one is a compound full of fireworks and fireworks, gathering all kinds of things in the world. On the train, there are "flying chickens" flapping their wings and passing over the heads of passengers, passengers who have stolen bags and crying and asking the police for help, parents who turn around and lose their children, fathers who want to find their daughters, and all kinds of high or low means....Noisy and trivial, there are microcosms of life everywhere, and there are countless crises of all sizes. 
In the compound, there is another form of "small world, big stage", and the warmth and coldness of people are between the parents and the parents. A few lost chickens are a "big case" that can bring the whole hospital together; A TV set, a less sensitive antenna, can make off-screen stories more exciting than on-screen; The firecrackers and fireworks set off high render the flavor of the New Year in the compound to the extreme. 
And the characters associated with these big and small things are the "eyes" of the story. Wang Xin, played by Bai Jingting, is the first in the police academy nicknamed "Little Gun King" at school, and he is also full of confidence and enthusiasm after joining the school. Catching "flying chickens", catching thieves, and arresting human traffickers, although he is a newcomer and has a brilliant performance, he is really young and promising. 
It's just that I'm a little stunned. After all, there are really few people who put the future ** and old man on the cabinet and try him as a criminal suspect when they first met. I feel that I may be bullied, and there are not many people who use "I'll stab him" as a means of resistance, and they always want to compare with **. 
The style of painting falling in love is also a bit different. The girl took the initiative to approach, and he had to keep his distance; Telling him to "eat the dumplings carefully", he said to eat the skin and filling separately. Fortunately, the other party has a warm and bold personality, otherwise he would really take the initiative to change his life to be introverted.
Ding Yongdai, who played Emperor Liang in "Langya Bang", transformed into an old policeman Ma Kui in the play, with resolute eyes and a righteous face. It's just that when you meet an apprentice and partner like Wang Xin, you will occasionally be unstable.
Unlike Wang Xin, who is proud of his marksmanship, Ma Kui believes in "kung fu in his hands". Because in the cramped environment and densely populated train carriages, guns are not used most of the time. This point also represents the collision of the professional experience and concepts of the old and new generations of police.
The audience is no stranger to the "vindictive" setting, which is still wonderful in the relationship between master and apprentice. Ma Kui and Wang Xin went from not pleasing each other to becoming tacit partners, because there are many criminal incidents as support, which is not only funny and fun, but also exciting. Ma Yan, who is in love with Wang Xin and Ma Kui is in the family line, is played by Jin Chen.
As a family member of two generations of police officers, Ma Yan, who has a sassy personality, is very cute. was found at work, and the neat counterattack was never endured; was rejected by Wang Xin in a ridiculous way, not twisting and not caring much, and reflexively gave him a kick; When there is a "play" to watch, it will be on fire, and it will never drop the chain at critical moments.
Wang Xin and Ma Yan are fun to do, and the "King of Jiji" Liu Guanlin and Jiang Yan played Niu Dali and Yao Yuling, one is a bit "Lai", the other is a little silly, and they bear many laughs in the play.
In addition to the above leading actors, there are so many familiar faces in "South to North" that they are like "inviting half of the showbiz". "Red wolf" Liu Jun has become the "leader" of the compound, Ni Dahong is an old blind man running around on the road to find a woman, Wang Jinsong is an old man who has a relationship with Ma Kui, Li Naiwen wants to find an old friend in his heart, Zuo Xiaoqing is an angel in white, and Wang Xun is a southern passenger ...... who lost his bag on the train
In addition, actors such as Tu Songyan , Wu Yue , Hu Ke , Wang Herun , Wei Qing , and "Liu Neng" Wang Xiaoli also played different roles in the play, which really gathered the three generations of powerful factions of the old, middle and young generations.
Wang Bang" level director and screenwriter team, plus the rarely seen railway police theme in the past, including anti-pickpocketing, anti-abduction, anti-narcotics, crackdown on theft and fraud and other crimes, as well as a cast that is so strong that it can be described as luxurious, it is no wonder that many netizens use "real New Year's drama" to describe this drama. And whether "South to North" is a good quality drama worthy of the audience's expectations, or will it be complained about, you can test it yourself.
