The domestic drama market in 2024 will be full of vitality, and many classic masterpieces such as "Flowers", "Three Teams" and "Dajiang Dahe 3" are like arrows of dawn, which have impacted and broadened the aesthetic boundaries of domestic dramas. Despite the frequent release of excellent works, there has not yet been a work that can firmly sit on the throne of the "drama king", which is slightly inferior to "Hurricane", which was popular on the screen in the same period last year and made the audience reminisce repeatedly.
But there's no need to rush it, because the highlight of the year, Wilderness, is about to make a big splash. This work carefully created by CCTV and starring Luo Jin and Xiao Yang, two powerful actors, has a theme that closely follows the focus of real society and focuses on the field of "online anti-fraud", with its unique charm and high-quality content, it has the strength to win this year's "drama king" crown.
So, what's so exciting about "Wilderness"? Let's dive into three aspects. First of all, although the theme of public security investigation is relatively unpopular, if it can be carefully crafted, it can also become a popular drama with both word-of-mouth and popularity. Referring to the anti-fraud crime film "All or Nothing" released last year, its box office exceeded the 3.8 billion mark in one fell swoop, which shows the wide appeal of this type of theme among today's audiences.
In the play, the protagonist Xiao Kuang, as a "Buddhist detective", embarked on an anti-wire fraud journey under the assignment of his superiors, and joined hands with Fang Xinyu, a female expert in cybersecurity, to solve an extremely bad "college student's tuition fee fraud to death". The dramatic turn is that Xiao Kuang's hair Xiao Shuye quietly turned around in his hometown and became a new generation leader in telecom fraud, invisibly incarnating as Xiao Kuang's strong opponent. A contest between justice and ** was silently staged in the virtual world, and the two launched a tense and exciting online duel without gunsmoke.
In addition, "Wilderness Land" cleverly integrates many real-life fraud methods, such as fake spot trading platforms, WeChat red envelope guessing games, and overseas network ** baccarat, etc., these elements undoubtedly greatly enhance the authenticity and enjoyment of the plot.
Finally, we can't ignore the key role of the director. No matter how gripping the script is, without an experienced director at the helm, the end result may always be a bit of a pity. Luckily, the Wilderness's team knows this well, and they will use their artistic precision to ensure that the story is not only compelling, but also satisfactorily presented.
"Wilderness Realm", a high-profile TV series, was personally directed by Lin Ke, a recognized gold medal director in the industry. Looking back on his past works, whether it is the popular red revolutionary drama "Militia Ge Erdan" in 2012, or the Douban score is as high as 83's classics all confirm Director Lin Ke's unique control over popular masterpieces. Even during the transition period, he was still able to shoot his first TV series to the fullest, which shows his profound artistic skills and professionalism.
Director Lin Ke not only has rich directing experience, but also served as the executive producer of popular dramas such as the action suspense web series "Mighty City" and the anti-drug suspense drama "Icebreaker".
However, for a successful series, it is not enough to have a good director, the superb performance of the actors is also crucial. "Wilderness" is undoubtedly a perfect answer in this regard. Xiao Yang plays the role of fraud boss Shu Ye in this play, although he is not from a professional class, he has won the recognition of the audience with his solid acting skills and infectious performance. From the hilarious Kun Tai in the movie "Detective Chinatown" to the righteous and evil Li Weijie in the drama crime film "Manslaughter", the characters created by Xiao Yang are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially in "Manslaughter", which shows his acting skills to the fullest, making people look forward to his performance in "Manslaughter".
At the same time, the powerful Mesozoic actor Luo Jin also plays an important role in the play - policeman Xiao Kuang. With his skillful and changeable acting skills, Luo Jin is comfortable navigating between different scripts. In the classic drama "Three Kingdoms", he vividly portrayed the helplessness and wisdom of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, competing on the same stage with a group of old drama bones without falling behind. Since then, whether it is interpreting the honest and fair Emperor Liu Ying of the Han Hui in "Beauty Scheming", or the smart and resolute Red Army soldier Gao Fuxing in "Ten Sending the Red Army", Luo Jin can give the character fresh vitality with his three-point acting skills. This time in "The Wilderness", the strong showdown between Luo Jin and Xiao Yang will surely become a highlight.
In addition, "The Wilderness" also invited the powerful actor Liu Congfei to join, and he successfully portrayed the heroic and heroic "Golden Eye Biao" Shi En in the 2010 version of "Water Margin" and the far-sighted Xu Jingzong in "The Legend of Wu Meiniang". Although it is unclear what his specific role is in this play, with his consistently excellent acting skills, he is bound to bring a good performance in "Wilderness".
Considering the plot content, director level and cast, "Wilderness" has a very high potential for hits. However, the final judgment still needs to wait for the feature film to be broadcast to see how the actors bloom brilliantly on the screen. Unfortunately, the schedule of the show has not yet been announced, but we are all looking forward to it and looking forward to it meeting the audience as soon as possible.
