I have a hunch that this drama will become a hit, but the combination of Zhang Songwen and Yao Anna is so weird

Hmm, Yao Anna?

When seeing the male and female protagonists of the new drama "Ice Hunting", this may be the expression of many viewers.

No matter how good the imagination is, it is impossible to put these two actors in the same drama as the male and female protagonists. If you want to describe it in one word, it feels a bit weird.

Why?

Because Zhang Songwen and Yao Anna are not people of the same world at all.

In terms of identity, Zhang Songwen is a grassroots who started from the bottom, and he once ran tricks and endured all the hardships of life. Relying on decades of accumulation and the accidental opportunity of "Hurricane", he gradually became a star and appeared in the public eye.

And Yao Anna is a Huawei princess born with a golden spoon, and she is a new female star who has never tasted the bitterness and suffering of the world.

In terms of acting skills, Zhang Songwen has experienced countless roles. Coupled with the blessing of decades of life experience, his acting skills are natural and smooth, and he is a typical powerful faction.

And Yao Anna, who debuted only in 2021, has limited works, most of them are special or supporting roles, and there are very few shots of her face appearing.

In this way, two people put together to perform a show, and they can't imagine what the effect is.

But this happened. I have to admire the courage of "Ice Hunting", which also instantly aroused the curiosity of wanting to see this drama.

The show will start broadcasting tonight, and I will use the information we have so far to pick up this "Ice Hunting" with you.

Perhaps, with the blessing of Zhang Songwen, this set of collocations will be the next hit.

Zhang Songwen has not appeared in popular film and television works for a long time, since "Hurricane". In several award ceremonies, he just showed up and didn't say much. The most attractive thing is that he uses the difficulties he has experienced as a criterion to maintain his concentration in the entertainment industry. In the face of the impact of fame and fortune, he still maintained the persistence and sincerity when he first entered the showbiz.

"Hurricane" set off a sensation, Su Xiaoling started live broadcasting, and "Wind Donkey" became a popular stalk, and sister-in-law Gao Ye has already played an important role in Zhang Yimou's Spring Festival film. However, Zhang Songwen still keeps a low profile, there are no scandals, no hot searches, not even new works, and even very few dynamics. This kind of low-key has become the focus of everyone's attention, so much so that after the release of the trailer of "Ice Hunting", Zhang Songwen quickly became the focus of attention again.

Similar to "Hurricane", Zhang Songwen in "Ice Hunting" returned to the role he is most familiar with, still a villain, but this time a highly educated drug boss. In the poster, he is studying "Advanced Organic Chemistry", which evokes the audience's memories of "Hurricane". In "Ice Hunting", he plays Huang Zongwei, a chemical businessman.

Judging from the tidbits released so far, Huang Zongwei and Gao Qiqiang have similar qualities. He behaved honestly in the crowd, always modest and respectful, and it was not at all clear that he had anything to do with "drug trafficking". However, behind the scenes, he was delicate, always observing the dynamics of **, and carefully preparing every detail of counter-reconnaissance.

Zhang Songwen is still known for his simple and down-to-earth performance style, which makes people feel at a glance that he is the big brother next door who occasionally appears in his life.

On the set, Zhang Songwen saw a three-horse agricultural vehicle, he sat on it with curiosity and tried it, and mentioned that the first motorcycle he rode was also of this style. Finally, he did not forget to remind the owner that the brakes of the car were a little loose, and then took a photo.

Zhang Songwen has always been nostalgic for his past, which is what keeps him awake. He will remember the bittersweet and never forget the original intention, and this trait runs through his character creation and performance.

Although Gao Qiqiang is a bad guy, under Zhang Songwen's interpretation, he has a unique personality charm and has won the love of the audience. In villains, such performances are rare.

In the movie "Ice Hunting", Huang Zongwei may also be a similar role, and under Zhang Songwen's interpretation, he may become the next "Gao Qiqiang", even more classic than Gao Qiqiang.

Many viewers looked at Zhang Songwen and even called him China's version of "Breaking Bad".

Playing against Huang Zongwei is Yao Anna.

Yao Anna, who plays the role of Zhao Younan, a female policewoman who has been transferred from the army in the movie "Ice Hunting", has a keen sense of smell and insight.

Based on her professional judgment, she concluded that Huang Chongwei may be involved in drug trafficking, and may even be the mastermind and culprit behind the virus.

Therefore, she chose to trust her intuition and decided to keep an eye on Huang Zongwei, no matter how high the other party is, no matter how advanced the illusion is.

So, she and Huang Zongwei started a life-and-death "cat and mouse game".

When her acting skills are mentioned, Yao Anna and Zhang Songwen's level are not the same.

A rookie actress who has just debuted for 3 years and has only 4 minor role works cannot reach the level of an old actor.

However, in "Ice Hunting", Yao Anna's highlights are still found.

In the highly-rated drama "To a Windy Place", Yao Anna played Xie Qin, the owner of a small supermarket in Yunmiao Village.

She has a lively and lovely personality, has a deep affection for Li Xian, and has a certain sense of humor.

When watching this drama, I especially like the role of Xiaoqin, on the one hand, because of the charm of the character itself, such a straightforward girl is always loved.

On the other hand, Yao Anna did not show the jerkiness of other rookie actors in the role, which complemented the performance of Li Xian and other veteran actors, and was not even at a disadvantage.

Directly playing the heroine in "Ice Hunting" requires a lot of scenes, which is a challenge for Yao Anna.

However, in this challenge, Yao Anna did at least two things right.

First, she found a style of performance that suited her.

Although Yao Anna's appearance is distinctive, it is not enough to make people stunning, and her charm needs to be combined with the character's characteristics to be perceived by the audience.

And this time, the female policewoman Zhao Younan, is obviously not a vase, but a character who is loved by the audience by her temperament, personality and skills.

All in all, choosing a role like Zhao Younan, Yao Anna basically confirmed that she would not only take the route of appearance.

Zhao Younan's own temperament is exactly what a short-haired girl has, this kind of condensation and sassy between her chic eyebrows is something that Yao Anna can challenge, and it is enough to get the biggest chips that the audience likes.

After watching some films, I feel that there are likely to be experts in the entertainment industry pointing behind Yao Anna.

Characters like Zhao Younan can not only exercise their skills and acting skills, but also avoid encountering competition from other Xiaohua, which is a double win.

The second thing is that the first heroine chose to play against Zhang Songwen.

Although it is rare to see the scene of Yao Anna directly playing against Zhang Songwen in the current materials, it is inevitable in the whole play.

What does this mean? This means that she can play against old drama bones when she debuts, and she has the opportunity to learn Zhang Songwen's acting skills and charm in person when she plays the heroine for the first time.

Such an opportunity is very rare.

Actors can only continue to grow in the play and performance, and playing against excellent actors is the only way to improve their acting skills.

Yao Anna's starting point as the heroine is very high, maybe she can collide with Zhang Songwen with some unusual sparks.

There is even a hunch that this "Ice Hunting" will be a hit.

Because Yao Anna and Zhang Songwen have a high degree of topic and attention, they will attract more audiences to participate in the discussion of the storyline and discuss the two actors, which will bring unimaginable traffic and popularity to "Ice Hunting".

In addition, judging from the current public information, Yao Anna has indeed put in a lot of hard work and hard work in order to act in this drama well.

Although filming is hard, it is normal for a daughter like Yao Anna to enjoy the reality brought by the previous generation, but she still chose to rush to a controversial and unstable path as an actor, which at least proves that she has the determination to be a good actor and act well. Once Yao Anna plays well, she will definitely become a hit out of the circle. This is also the reason why "Ice Hunting" is currently optimistic.

The difference between Zhang Songwen, who finally came out, and Yao Anna, who is just starting out, don't make "Ice Hunting" interesting. If it is an accident that Zhang Songwen played Gao Qiqiang in "Hurricane" directed by Xu Jizhou, then when he met Gao Qunshu, it seemed to be an inevitability. Gao Qunshu is a well-deserved leader in Chinese domestic dramas, especially criminal investigation and crime TV dramas.

His series of documentary criminal investigation bureaus have created the pinnacle of many domestic criminal investigation dramas, and "*Thirteen Cases" and "The Truth" are familiar to audiences who like criminal investigation. The most classic is 2003's "Conquest", adapted from the case of the Zhang Baolin brothers in Shijiazhuang, in which Sun Honglei plays the villain Liu Huaqiang. Sun Honglei has eaten the dividends of this drama for 20 years, and the director behind it is Gao Qunshu. Gao Qunshu has a keen eye and is good at discovering the essence of villains.

In "Conquest", people are still talking about plots such as "Is the melon ripe" and "You don't use it if you give you a chance", which have become hot Internet memes.

Behind all this, Sun Honglei's superb acting skills are naturally indispensable, but what is even more amazing is Gao Qunshu's grasp of the core role performance and plot design in the criminal investigation drama.

His realistic shooting style and accurate grasp of the audience's pain points are his extraordinary skills.

Combining these two skills with Zhang Songwen's acting skills, what kind of sparks will be produced is really exciting.

Zhang Songwen is good at bringing performances to life and can connect the plot with reality well, while Gao Qunshu is good at realistic performance, and the two complement each other.

Not much else, as long as there are Gao Qunshu, "Ice Hunting" will not be a high-minded and illogical suspense crime drama.

Because of down-to-earthness, this is a common characteristic of the two.

And if you want to shoot the Chinese version of "Breaking Bad", Gao Qunshu must be a well-deserved and unique choice.

From this point of view, it is very suitable to let Gao Qunshu star in "Ice Hunting" and let Zhang Songwen play Huang Zongwei.

In addition to Zhang Songwen, in "Ice Hunting", Gao Qunshu has many other outstanding characters.

Yao Anna: We have already mentioned it, so let's not mention it for the time being.

The first idol Han Geng also played the role of a villain in "Ice Hunting".

Han Geng, who was complained about in "Predecessor 4", has now become lean and black-bellied again.

In the film, there are many rivalry scenes between him and Zhang Songwen.

The character he played was originally a good friend of Huang Zongwei, but behind the scenes, Huang Zongwei was regarded as a tool for drug production and trafficking.

The excitement of the rivalry cannot be ignored.

Zhao Longhao's participation with his natural villain face added several layers of expected filters to the villain character drama in "Ice Hunting".

Every card is considered a good hand.

The high level of production, tight rhythm and intense plot make various commercial elements such as gunfights and car chases reach their peaks.

There are all kinds of comradeship, brotherhood, children, and family.

Under the direction of Gao Qunshu, every work is as good as Wang Zhan.

The serious criminal investigation drama has not appeared for a long time.

At present, most of the criminal investigation dramas we see are biased towards suspense crimes, such as "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", or sweeping away evil, such as "Hurricane".

And the real criminal investigation drama skillfully integrates the two.

It's tightly connected to reality and real cases, and there's always a fascinating true story behind it, focusing the lens on the characters who are on the front lines.

And "Ice Hunting" seems to be just such a work.

Anti-narcotics police is a topic that never goes out of style.

We often say that once an anti-narcotics police officer is made public, it means that there are no relatives in his immediate family who are still alive.

Behind this is the fact that countless heroes are silently paying.

And our camera should focus on these people.

It's not about shooting them like the aura of the extraordinary protagonist and the stereotypical positive image.

It's about capturing their complexity, going deep into their mental journey, and finding out why they chose to stay on this path.

Whether it's a cop or a bad guy, they are all independent individuals, and they are all real people.

As long as it is a human being, there will always be a variety of motives behind the choice.

These motives are exactly the focus of criminal investigation dramas. Car chases, shootouts, action, and clashes are ostensibly just eye-catching commercial elements. However, in fact, every line, every expression, every body movement and every choice is the most fascinating and touching charm of criminal investigation dramas.

When some people go to the path of evil because of accidental factors, there will always be some people who start to sweep away the evil because of inevitable obsessions. This is the law of the operation of the world and society, and it is also an inevitable law that we have to admit. Behind the law, there will always be something for the audience to discover and think about. The neglected and classical criminal investigation drama has this kind of attraction.

Just like we have developed countless new dishes, but we will never forget Peking duck and Dongpo elbow, which is what makes a classic a classic. "Ice Hunting" starts tonight**, whether it can reproduce the success of "Hurricane", and whether it can meet your expectations and become a hit, this is worth waiting and seeing.
