Quietly, another big drama on Hunan Satellite TV was launched. 
We all know that most of the popular national dramas in recent years have come from CCTV. Let's just say that this year, the hit "Flowers" at the beginning of the year is still a CCTV drama. However, satellite TV, which has also produced a lot of good dramas, is it so collectively dumb? In the past, the big TV dramas that impressed me the most were the big dramas of Hunan Satellite TV. For example, "Ming Dynasty", such as "In the Name of the People", and last year's "The Long River of the World". 
These real "dramas of the year" are inseparable from three obvious characteristics. First, there is a solid script foundation. "Ming Dynasty" is written by Liu Heping, and the screenwriter of "In the Name of the People" is Zhou Mason, the script is very high-quality, and it can be said that it has won at the starting line. The second is a cast with super acting skills. A good drama needs fresh characters, and it is inseparable from excellent acting skills, there are more than 30 powerful and green leaf actors in "Ming Dynasty", and the super god of "In the Name of the People" has given the series the confidence to become popular all over the country. Third, there is both scale and feelings. "In the Name of the People" is a big drama that is not low in scale, and at the same time puts the people in the theme. "The Long River under Heaven" is about river governance, and the screenwriter has the ancient rivers in his heart. 
Generally, dramas that can meet these three points, even if they are only broadcast on satellite TV, have the potential to compete for the "Drama King of the Year". However, dramas of this quality can be called "unattainable", and one usually appears every few years. However, only two months have passed in 2024, and we are likely to wait for a drama that can wrestle with the above big dramas. It is "The River is Sunrise". 
The first environmental suspense drama in China. On the cast list, there are more than 10 powerful actors such as Huang Zhizhong, Mei Ting, Jiang Wu, and Zhang Guoqiang. There are five national first-class actors. Looking at the subject matter, realism is the foundation, environmental protection + suspense + anti-corruption, which can be called a combination of king bombs. As soon as it started, the ratings of this show broke 045%, and the ratings rose to the first place in the national satellite TV. 
Angrily brushed four episodes, and found that this drama, not only dared to shoot, dare to reveal, dare to come to the truth, but also filmed well, after watching the four episodes, I just felt that it was not enjoyable. Can it be like "In the Name of the People" and become another king bomb played by Hunan Satellite TV? Can environmental suspense dramas lead the trend of national dramas again? Next, we go up the river, and the three moves will be clear. 01, the deputy mayor drowned, the professor parachuted into the deputy mayor, and the environmental protection governance was fried at the beginning, and the opening of this drama has the same dark horse potential as "In the Name of the People", and the opening of "The River is on the Sun" is not grinding at all. The story opens with an environmental lecture. 
The lecturer was Zheng Hanjiang, a professor in the field of environmental protection in Qijiang, and the lecturer was the main leader at all levels in Qijiang City. From the very beginning of the lecture, several major leaders were uneasy. 
Not only because, the ** inspection team just arrived in Qijiang, but also because Wang Wu, the deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection, couldn't find it, and Mayor Li Ziping called ** to find someone for the public security drama, and went crazy directly in **. 
But when the report of the director of the public security bureau came up, Li Ziping's heart was half cold: he hurriedly reported to the leaders of the municipal party committee and the leaders of the supervision team. 
Wang Wu drowned. 
The news exploded at the lecture site in less than half a minute. First of all, the main ** left their seats one after another, and then the remaining middle-level cadres also left half of the way.
For the rest, start talking to each other. In the entire lecture hall, only Zheng Hanjiang on the podium didn't know the news of the death of his old classmate. The atmosphere of this opening exploded directly. Since the disappearance of the deputy mayor, Zheng Hanjiang, the male protagonist of the play, has also been involved in a puzzle, and three difficult problems have been put on the table. The first is the investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection triggered by the drowning death of the deputy mayor. Good guys, dump the king at the beginning. Zheng Hanjiang was still having dinner with his old classmate Wang Wu (played by Sun Hao) yesterday, watching his old classmate burst into tears, and today he was invited to the office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
What is your lover's name and in which hospital? "While talking, while writing, the time and place of meeting Wang Wu, where did he go after that, what did he tell you, and how did you answer? The address must be detailed, so that we can monitor it. ”
Especially the way he speaks, focusing on recalling, this is one thing today. Huang Zhizhong acted so well in this scene, the teacup raised by Zheng Hanjiang was just hanging in the air, and he couldn't put it down.
One**: Wang Wu was found drowning by local fishermen**. Zheng Hanjiang's face turned white after reading it. At the same time, a shock wave in Qijiang officialdom has begun. "Wang Wu is dead, how to divide the responsibility? "Do you think the opinion of the supervision team is only aimed at Wang Wu? ”
Sure enough, the leader of the inspection team played by Du Yuan didn't leave any steps at the meeting, and directly opened his firepower, which made Qi Jiang's hearts beat when he heard it.
However, this is the beginning, because later, there are more sharp. The second is Zheng Hanjiang, who parachuted from a university professor to serve as the deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection. I have seen a lot of reversals in national dramas, but I didn't expect that there would be such a fierce anti-** front foot and Zheng Hanjiang, who was still under investigation, suddenly became the local deputy mayor. The reason for all started with a letter left by Wang Wu to this old classmate, and there were only four words on the letter: save Qi Jiang.
I'm a university professor, how can I save Qi Jiang? Secretary He, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, also wants to know this question, as well as the leader of the supervision group. In a dialogue with Zheng Hanjiang, the two leaders made up their minds.
The next plot development directly shocked the jaw of Qi Jiang's size ** - the provincial party committee directly appointed Zheng Hanjiang as the deputy mayor of Qijiang, in charge of environmental protection in charge of Wang Wuzeng. The next three lines directly shocked my mouth - is the scale of national dramas so big now? In the first sentence, Zheng Hanjiang showed his hole card to the leader of the inspection team: Qi Jiang's problem is very complicated, and if you engage in environmental protection, you must infringe on the interests of some people, the question is: Who are these people?
The second sentence is the prophecy of the local cadres in Qijiang to Zheng Hanjiang: Zheng Hanjiang is a stunned young man, he has to be hit to death.
The third sentence is what Liu Gengye, the deputy mayor played by Su Ke, said to the secretary of the municipal party committee: Now a deputy mayor is airborne, which is the distrust of the provincial party committee to the leadership of Qijiang! What a Qi River, this ** is very deep water, waiting for Zheng Hanjiang, it is simply a tiger's den in Longtan. Zheng Hanjiang, who is "nothing", how to manage environmental protection, a major event related to people's livelihood? The third is the rectification of the snack street and the fryer. Environmental protection issues are related to people's livelihood, but when dealing with environmental problems, Zheng Hanjiang first faces the contradictions with the masses.
In order to solve the problem of environmental pollution in Qijiang City, the first task he did after taking office was to rectify a snack street in the city. But when he walked into the snack street with a loudspeaker under the collective gaze of the municipal party committee team to directly announce the decision, it directly aroused the dissatisfaction of the 81 vendors in the snack street, and the scene gradually got out of control during the law enforcement process.
The vendors and law enforcement officers pushed and shoved together, and a plate of tomato brisket noodles smashed on Zheng Hanjiang's head upstairs.
This time, the internal controversy of the leadership team of Qijiang City also exploded. But Zheng Hanjiang was not in a hurry, and took the representatives of the snack street vendors who were looking for him to eat in the canteen of the municipal party committee, and played chess and talked with them, and it seemed that there was a way.
A big drama caused by environmental protection has just been staged. found no, although there are only four episodes, "The River Sun" already has the potential of a high-quality drama. First, it is not false, the rhythm is extremely fast, ** died, the inspection team arrived, the deputy mayor was airborne, and the plot explosions were thrown out one after another, giving the audience a sense of immersion.
Second, from small to large, from the surface to the inside, environmental protection is a big thing, but under environmental protection, there are various specific problems, and it involves local officialdom. And the suspense of the story is also buried: why did Wang Wu, who was righteous in everyone's eyes, commit suicide?
Who is behind this? If there really is an umbrella, who? It's a good show, it's over. 02, Huang Zhizhong and Zhang Guoqiang are playing, Jiang Wumeiting is "secretly fighting", and five national first-class actors are in the formation, this acting skill is absolutely amazing, in addition to a good basic plate, in the main creative lineup, "The River is Up" will not be soft. Director Han Xiaojun has served as an assistant director and executive director in high-reputation historical dramas such as "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" and "Ming Dynasty 1566", and his "Qing Salt Merchant" has a good reputation. is definitely a good hand at filming a drama. Screenwriter Zhang Ting wrote "The Long River of the World", his drama has feelings, conflicts, characters, and does not spill dog blood. The cast is even more powerful, with at least more than 10 well-known actors, and 5 national first-class actors alone. This is not a feast of acting, it is a real feast of drama. Good actors acting together are the easiest to inspire good acting skills, because they will secretly compete, not fighting for the position, but fighting for internal strength. What impressed me the most in the opening scene was that there were three scenes, and these three scenes brought out six heavyweight actors. The first scene was after Wang Wu's death, Du Yuan's speech scene, and Zhang Guoqiang's listening expression, which was absolutely amazing.
Du Yuan and Zhang Guoqiang are both national first-class actors, but in this scene, the acting methods are completely different. At the beginning of the meeting, several leaders of Qijiang City spoke to express their determination, and Wang Chen, the leader of the supervision team played by Du Yuan, listened and then spoke. Du Yuan's scene is really full of skill. At first it was smiling and listening.
Then there is a smile and a smile. In the end, he was full of firepower, and reprimanded with a majestic face - "Take the money that destroys the environment to engage in environmental protection, you are ripping flesh and mending sores." ”
His lines are sonorous and powerful, and they are very infectious, and I, an audience, are terrified when I hear it - "Is environmental protection Wang Wu's business alone?" It's better for him to die now, and give everyone a death without proof. Although it was Du Yuan who spoke, the facts also proved that the drama was a spark in the slightest.
Sometimes, there is no need for dialogue at all. Wang Chen is the leader of the inspection team, and Liao Yu, secretary of the Qijiang Municipal Party Committee played by Zhang Guoqiang, is the object of the assessment, and the position is clear at a glance. What's even worse is that Wang Wu, the deputy mayor who was supposed to be in charge of the docking inspection team, jumped into the river at this juncture. When Wang Chen spoke, his face as the secretary of the municipal party committee was blue and white for a while.
Hearing Wang Chen's criticism one after another, his expression gradually became serious, the corners of his mouth sank, and he buried himself in taking notes to hide his embarrassment.
After listening to it for a while, his face was completely unbearable, and finally Wang Chen left directly after speaking, and then he stood up and spoke. What's even more amazing is that when he saw that the letter left by Wang Wu to Zheng Hanjiang said, "Save Qi Jiang", he blurted out directly, "If he doesn't jump Qi Jiang, he will save Qi Jiang." The grievances of a big leader were expressed by Zhang Guoqiang in this way with a cold and humorous line. No wonder he later instructed Zheng Hanjiang: Make results, don't make trouble. In the second scene, it was Zheng Hanjiang who renovated the snack street, Huang Zhizhong's bewildered expression, Li Qiang's suppressed heart, and Su Ke's mouth was unscrupulous and exploded. As I wrote earlier, Zheng Hanjiang lacked experience, and the management of the snack street directly stabbed the hornet's nest. But the most exciting thing about this scene is the expressions of the three actors. Let's look at Huang Zhizhong first, as a national first-class actor, there is naturally no need to say much about his strength. However, in the past, when I watched Huang Zhizhong, most of them were fierce characters, such as Jin Fu who was arrogant in "The Long River Under Heaven". But Zheng Hanjiang, who he played in this scene, acted in a black comedy, from the high-spirited shouting at the beginning, to the helplessness when the masses reacted violently, to the embarrassment of a basin of noodles covering his head, he played it in the slightest.
The second place is Li Qiang. In works such as "Asking the Boundless", "The Great Battle", "Secret and Great", Li Qiang has played an outstanding role. Li Ziping, the mayor of Qijiang played by him in this play, lost his temper. At the beginning, the Public Security Bureau was ordered to find someone, and the angry performance was already explosive. In this scene, he watched Zheng Hanjiang poke the hornet's nest, and his anger rushed straight to his heart, but it was not easy to attack.
But it is this small detail that reflects the character's state of mind at this time. At this time, the expressions on the faces of Zhang Guoqiang and Li Qiang were put together, and they were even more tense. There is a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings. If these two are still enduring it, then Liu Gengye, the deputy mayor in charge of investment promotion played by Su Ke, broke out directly.
Because Zheng Hanjiang's measures to control the environment directly affected the investment promotion work he was in charge of. Now that Zheng Hanjiang has made a storm, of course he took the opportunity to complain to the secretary of the municipal party committee: What the hell, you just let him come here like this.
A big drama, a officialdom, if you appreciate it carefully, it is still enjoyable. The third scene is the rivalry between Qian Qi, a big steelmaker in Qijiang played by Jiang Wu, and Mrs. Zheng Hanjiang played by Mei Ting. Zheng Hanjiang is in charge of environmental protection and makes enemies on all sides, Qian Qi, as a major local enterprise and polluter, is also Zheng Hanjiang's brother, and this scene is as a brother to do the ideological work of his sister-in-law. Jiang Wu's performance style is known to everyone, and it is called a spirit.
Qian opened his mouth, and the whole tiger was full of wind, as if Qi Jiangshui could be said by him. "Cutting off people's financial routes, killing his parents, Hanjiang is like this, how many people hate him. ”
Every sentence is like a brother, but there is no less consideration in it. In the face of Qian Qi's off-string sound, see how Mei Ting handles it.
She sat down slowly, turned her head, and smiled. A four-two-to-one thousand pounds. It not only takes care of the other party's face, but also retains leeway. It is no exaggeration to say that every wrinkle is a play. The story of Qian Qi, Wang Wu and Zheng Hanjiang will be slowly revealed, and the dark line of interest transmission behind Qijiang's environmental pollution will also connect the whole drama.
I predict that this may contain the most important hole card of "River Sunrise". From powerful actors to veteran actors, Zhao Liang, Guo Xiaoting, Zhao Qi, Dong Yong, Full Stop, Song Jialun and other acting schools in "The River is on the Sun" are all non-general. There are so many famous scenes of drama, this drama can't be wrong. 03, pragmatic and truth-seeking, thick and fine, if the environmental suspense drama is filmed like this, how can the audience not love to watch it! "The River is on the Sun" has a not-so-likable label, called "environmental suspense drama". While most suspense dramas focus on criminal investigation and spy warfare, this drama has opened up a new channel. But the first mover is often not easy to please. Unexpectedly, although the story focuses on environmental protection, the suspense and dramatic tension have not fallen. From the story to the rhythm, from the details to the service, everything**.
To put it bluntly, the type of drama is not important, what matters is how the drama is filmed to be good-looking. In my opinion, "River Sunrise" has achieved two points, and these two points are enough to be powerful. The first point is to seek truth and be pragmatic. Have you found that the cases in the play are all topics with a strong sense of reality and high attention? From the difficulty of pollution control to the storm of snack streets. Then to the airborne deputy mayor, the inspection team arrived. Every point touched by "The River on the Sun" is the pain point, difficulty and focus of society.
Not to avoid the topic of environmental protection and governance is to seek truth. As the main theme, there is not the slightest shouting of slogans and false emptiness, and all problems are based on reality. It's pragmatism. In the play, many children suffer from heart tremors due to water pollution.
The groundwater is polluted, and the water pumped up from the well is undrinkable. Of the 27 pipes, 21 have problems. Enterprises discharge sewage into the river but are safe, there must be a protective umbrella behind it. Therefore, to control pollution, we must first treat people. When the officialdom is clear, the river will be clear. This kind of plot can be regarded as really close to the lives of ordinary people, and the audience can watch it and enjoy it.
