Starts tomorrow night! Zhang Songwen starred in the new series, which caused a sensation, and netizens exclaimed "unbelievable".
There is no doubt that the crime drama "Hurricane" broadcast in January 2023 has benefited more than one person, one is Zhang Songwen who plays the main villain Gao Qiqiang, and the other is Gao Ye, who plays the role of sister-in-law in the play.
It can be said that after this drama became popular, Zhang Songwen's salary increased by at least ten times, while Gao Ye signed four or five endorsements, and his worth also rose.
Sister Bing has long predicted that this year will be a year for Zhang Songwen to shine in film and television works, and initially people thought that his next work would be the spy war drama "Lonely Boat" that has been completed.
However, unexpectedly, perhaps for some reason, this spy war drama that was supposed to be broadcast quickly with Zhang Songwen's popularity was repeatedly blocked, and news kept coming out that it was about to be broadcast, but it was finally silent.
One more thing, Zhang Songwen's participation in the filming of "Lonely Boat" was before the broadcast of the "Hurricane" episode, which means that the producers of "Lonely Boat" did not expect that Zhang Songwen would become such a high-profile "big brother in the underworld" after January 2023.
Just when countless viewers are looking forward to Zhang Songwen's new work and are puzzled by the unsuccessful broadcast of the spy war drama "Lonely Boat", this anti-drug drama "Ice Hunting" will make a shocking debut at 6 o'clock tomorrow night.
What needs to be understood by readers is that Zhang Songwen filmed "Hurricane" on September 26, 2021, in Taishan City, Guangdong Province, and the time when the show was broadcast on CCTV was January 14, 2023.
Zhang Songwen filmed the anti-drug drama "Ice Hunting" in October 2022. With the passage of time, when Gao Qunshu, the director of "Ice Hunting", chose Zhang Songwen to play the villain male lead, Xu Jizhou's play "Hurricane" had not yet been released.
Therefore, the producers of "Ice Hunting" and Gao Qunshu did not know that Zhang Songwen would become a hot actor. However, why the two directors chose Zhang Songwen when he was unknown, and both arranged for him to play the role of "black boss", this question is worth further **. In "Ice Hunting", Zhang Songwen changed from a "stinky fish seller" in "Hurricane" to a "stinky health care product Huang Zongwei".
Huang Zongwei has a low-key, modest personality, short image, and speaks in a low voice, and he plays a salesman who is not taken seriously in the play and "stinks health care products".
However, who would have thought that Huang Zongwei was actually the chemical champion of the small coastal city of Sanping City, a "drug wizard" with a big brain, and also a ruthless and ruthless drug-related tycoon.
Some people may think that the more Huang Zongwei looks at the role, the more he looks like Gao Qiqiang in "Hurricane", first depreciating and then praising it. In fact, a tycoon who can really survive and thrive first needs to keep a low profile. For example, Xu Jiang (played by Jia Bing) in "Hurricane", his flamboyance and madness eventually led to him being defeated by Gao Qiqiang and Lao Mo in conspiracy.
Overall, the relationship between Gao Qunshu and Xu Jizhou explains why they are bullish on Zhang Songwen.
Gao Qunshu is 58 years old this year, 10 years older than Xu Jizhou, and the two of them have in-depth directing trajectories in filming police films and anti-crime dramas.
As we all know, the anti-crime drama "Conquest" directed by Gao Qunshu 22 years ago has become a classic that the subject cannot surpass until now. Back then, when Gao Qunshu sat in front of the camera to direct the filming of "Conquest", Xu Jizhou also followed Gao Qunshu to play the role of "little brother" and "apprentice".
A few years ago, when the anti-corruption drama "National Action" cooperated by the two could not pass the trial for a long time, the two filmed the TV series "Ice Hunting" and "Hurricane" with the same theme, and the same wise vision of each other also made them put the villains Gao Qiqiang and Huang Zongwei in the play on Zhang Songwen alone.
To be honest, not only do the two have the same vision for choosing villains, but they also have a lot in common in shaping the growth of villains and their artistic images. For example, when you see the stills of Huang Zongwei reading above, does it feel familiar?A drug-related character actually read the book "Advanced Organic Chemistry", which made the audience instantly curious about the image of this villain.
Yes, this kind of picture also appeared in Xu Jizhou's "Hurricane" play, and he used the same technique to make the two most ruthless people in the play often read and study. It's just that Gao Qiqiang read "The Art of War", and Gao Ye not only read books by himself, but also invited Gao Qisheng to be a tutor for his son.
Art originates from life and transcends life. This is obvious, so there is a realistic basis for creating such villains, which shows that important villains in reality also pay great attention to learning and education.
The anti-drug drama "Ice Hunting" was originally scheduled to have 12 episodes, but it will be extended to 18 episodes when it meets the audience tomorrow.
The reason for this decision is not difficult to understand: Zhang Songwen's popularity is directly related to more than half of the success of this show. Now by restoring some of the episodes that were previously cut, the length of the episodes is increased, which actually increases the revenue of the episodes.
It is worth mentioning that the platform's purchase of broadcast rights is based on the price of episodes, and the advertiser's contribution is also given according to the number of episodes, and the remuneration of actors is also paid according to the number of episodes.
It can be seen that increasing the number of episodes is a win-win approach, and producers, directors, platforms, advertisers, actors, and all individuals and units involved in the production will benefit from it. This is also the additional value brought by Zhang Songwen after he became popular.
It can be said that with the joining of the great director Gao Qunshu and the acting skills of Zhang Songwen playing an important villain role, this drama has basically won the game. However, there is only one exception to Sister Bing's concerns.
This exception is Yao Anna, the heroine who plays the anti-narcotics captain Zhao Younan.
Why is Sister Bing worried about her? The reason is very simple, Yao Anna was born in singing, she does not have outstanding representative works in the entertainment industry, she only had a brief cameo role in last year's hit drama "To a Windy Place".
And this time, she will play the heroine, play the role of a policewoman, represent justice, and stage a life-and-death contest and "cat and mouse war" with the drug-related boss Huang Zongwei.
Therefore, I am worried that she will not be able to catch Zhang Songwen's play, if the "** power" in the play is allowed to explode on the screen, and the picture representing justice is crushed by the other party, then this drama is likely to usher in countless audience criticism. However, what Sister Bing is even more worried about is that the 26-year-old second lady of the Ren family is only acting for "playing tickets", if this is the case, then this drama will be too suspenseful.
It is said that Zhang Songwen will not act in bad movies if he cherishes his feathers, and Gao Qunshu will not make bad movies if he attaches importance to honor, but the strength of this second lady should be extraordinary.
This kind of difference is that she is an eighteenth-tier actress who is not in the stream, playing the heroine in a work directed by a big director, and being able to act on the same stage with a master like Zhang Songwen, isn't it very special? Therefore, it has attracted many netizens to exclaim "money ability".
However, Sister Bing believes that there is no need to worry too much, because the quality of a drama and the level of an actor's acting skills must ultimately be judged by the audience. What if, Yao Anna has an outstanding performance? What if she can show superb acting skills that overwhelm the villain Zhang Songwen? Tomorrow night at 6 o'clock, let's wait and see......
