I was attracted by the conversation between Huang Zongwei (played by Zhang Songwen) and two onion crystal buyers in the trailer - "This onion crystal is a business, but it is a business with red lines". Zhang Songwen responded with a trembling smile: "What red line are you stepping on?" The buyer revealed the truth: "It is both a health care product and a *** Zhang Songwen's face turned pale instantly, trying to hide the panic in his heart with laughter: "Hahahahaha, just kidding, just kidding." The buyer continued to ridicule: "Onion crystals, it's more expensive than **, that system**, I'm going to pay you to death." Zhang Songwen pretended to laugh calmly: "You scared me to death." Subsequently, the buyer asked tentatively: "Alas, I had dinner with a friend from the Public Security Bureau, and said that there is a new type of ** on the market now, which is very pure, and no one has seen it yet. Zhang Songwen looked around and responded nervously: "Don't talk nonsense, my onion crystals are sold to the two of you - if you want to do it, you will do it." The three of them burst into laughter, and then the buyer paid the bill and left. Huang Zongwei sent them two steps and said politely in Cantonese: "When will you come out for tea?" No send, no send. Then he turned around, his face gloomy, and he lowered his head to pick up the cigarette butt that the buyer had thrown down, snuffed it out, and fell into deep thought.
In this one-minute trailer, Zhang Songwen's performance is amazing. From the initial consternation, to the laughter to hide the panic, to the initiative to make jokes, and finally turn around and look down to pick up the cigarette butt - the cigarette butt seems to indicate the predicament that Huang Zongwei is facing. This short greeting scene is usually regarded as a cutscene, but Zhang Songwen uses precise eyes and action details to deduce a thrilling feeling. Experienced viewers can see the deep meaning behind it at a glance. The words of the two buyers pierced the heart of the drug-making genius Huang Zongwei: he was indeed making poison with onion crystals. But to their surprise, due to improved technology, the drugs he made were already cheaper than onion crystals.
The whole scene is wonderful, and the most impressive thing is Zhang Songwen's action of picking up cigarette butts, which is undoubtedly a stroke of genius. However, in the tidbits, we learned that this action was not originally in the script, but was accidentally discovered by Zhang Songwen when he was walking through the scene and suggested that it be added. When filming this scene in Hainan, "Hurricane" had not yet been broadcast, and Zhang Songwen had not yet become a star in the limelight. But fate dictates, after watching this scene, we know that Zhang Songwen's popularity is doomed. And this scene is from the first new drama after Zhang Songwen's "Hurricane", which will be broadcast tonight - "Ice Hunting".
"Ice Hunting" is an 18-episode police and bandit suspense drama, directed by Gao Qunshu, who created "Conquest" and co-created the classic role of "Liu Huaqiang" with Sun Honglei. Over the years, police and bandit suspense dramas have always attracted the attention of the audience, and Gao Qunshu's works are even more unique. His stories are often like onions, peeled back layer by layer, spicy and harsh. Compared with Zhang Songwen's starring role, I pay more attention to the three core highlights of this drama, which is the key to whether "Ice Hunting" can set off another ratings frenzy.
First of all, the story is always the soul of the police and bandit suspense drama. The original work of "Ice Hunting" is known as the "Chinese version of Breaking Bad", and its villain archetype is notorious for his crimes in the field of drug production, far surpassing the protagonist in the American drama "Breaking Bad". It's exciting to see how this story and the villain are presented. And the director of this work is the Chinese drama director Gao Qunshu, who is known for his ruthless style. His works such as "Conquest", "Thirteen Sects", "Records of China's Great Cases", "The Truth", "Fighting the Black Storm", etc., all exude the ruthlessness of a realistic style.
The story takes place in Sanping, a small coastal city in peace. The Anti-Narcotics Brigade accidentally seized a new type of ** in one operation, the size and purity of which are extremely rare. The Sanping Public Security immediately launched an investigation, and the person who found this clue was Zhao Younan (Yao Anna), a female policeman who had been transferred from the army. She targeted Huang Zongwei, who was engaged in chemical trading. As a result, the public security team represented by Zhao Younan and the drug-making gang headed by Huang Zongwei launched a tense and exciting "cat and mouse war".
From the trailer, we can see Gao Qunshu's three key words in the story adaptation. The first is the 90s, which is revealed throughout the trailer, and this is also the year in which the case takes place in the original book. In that era of limited technology and scarce resources, the anti-narcotics police could only rely on a large number of visits, long-term squatting, and the spirit of sacrifice and dedication to unite all possible forces and fight on the front line of drug control. And for Huang Zongwei, he can't use the Internet to hide his traces like modern drug dealers. This is also what the drug dealer partner played by Han Geng said to him: "Your current fame is greater than our entire family." ”
The second is the police and bandit duel. The reason why Gao Qunshu is unique in the field of crime films (dramas) is first of all due to his ability to shoot men's dramas and strong confrontations, and to create a tense atmosphere in which police and bandits meet each other. This hard-core style makes his work unique in the field of crime films. From the trailer, we can see that the dialogue scene between Zhang Songwen and the two buyers is full of tense confrontation and temptation, which is inspiring.
Finally, there is Zhang Songwen's performance. As the leading actor of this play, Zhang Songwen's performance is undoubtedly a highlight. From the trailer we can see that he is both faced.
