This is probably the most talked-about one after the rework. The short-haired policewoman enters a cramped building and looks up and down alertly, left and right.
The stiff arms are forcibly flexible, and the swing of the limbs does not turn the eyeballs, and the agility is not successful, but becomes a "laughing stock" out of the circle. You may have all heard that Zhang Songwen is a crime drama launched after "Hurricane" (which is also the one that was picked up before the filming was not popular)."Ice Hunting".。The policewoman is well-known because of her father's name, and Yao Anna, the second daughter of Huawei's CEO, bravely entered the entertainment industry.
Zhang Songwen has also become the head of the year 2024. Recently, the director of this play, Gao Qunshu, and the famous screenwriter Wang Hailin also quarreled on Weibo for a few rounds because of bad reviews.
Old friend @Chandler has watched 10 episodes in a row, and this time it's going to be torn apart. Yao Anna, Gao Dao made the wrong choice. But to say that "Ice Hunting" is ugly, he has a different opinion. "Ice Hunting" is an anti-drug drama. The prototype of the big drug lord is Liu Zhaohua, who created the world's largest drug case in the 90s. The line unfolded, one was that the police found the clues, chased all the way down the vine, and caught the protagonist Huang Zongwei (played by Zhang Songwen); The other is the focus of the play, telling the story of how Huang Zongwei built and developed a drug trafficking network from his small workshop while escaping, and was finally arrested.
As far as the plot line is concerned, the tension of the cat and mouse game is too weak, and Zhang Songwen's line is more than enough to be surprised. A few threads are intertwined like a leaky sweater with sparse stitches. Especially after learning about Liu Zhaohua's own deeds, I feel even more pity.
The look and feel of this drama is very rough, with deserted villages, old houses, and small restaurants barbecued in the wild. The mud bungalows look like a small town that has not yet developed. (It's too poor, according to the director, only 40 million investments).
Because the time of occurrence is 30 years ago, and the location of the drug dealers is a village in the south, the roughness inexplicably gives the drama a little realism, just like watching Gao Qunshu's early TV series ("Conquest", "*Thirteen Sects", etc.).
The roughness is full, and the set photography is almost close to reality, and even interspersed with a few passers-by, hawkers, and villagers from time to time. The heavier the traces of acting, the more dramatic it is. Zhang Song's ability to play cultural drama for life once again allowed him to play the role alive. Huang Zongwei did not have Gao Qiqiang's struggle and twisted trajectory from the little white rabbit to the big bad wolf. As soon as he appeared, he was the cunning, greed, and coldness of a wolf. He played the domestic "Breaking Bad" Huang Zongwei (played by Zhang Songwen), who has been good at chemistry since he was a child, worked in a power company, and unexpectedly developed a side hustle to do **, this "technology" changed his life. Huang's father became a monk, his aunts cut their hair to become nuns, and the whole family was left with a male to work hard, and he consciously took on the "sense of mission" of revitalizing the family and glorifying the ancestors, so when his wife gave birth to triplets boys, he was ashamed to think of the achievements in the three fields of "military, politics and business", which shows how wild and crazy the dream of success in his heart is.
Based on this background, Zhang Songwen constantly adds a little dramatic detail that is detached from real life in his performance, just like a faint opera singing section in the dark night, which is confusing and terrifying to listen to. He was superstitious that before fleeing for his life, he must take Aaron to worship his ancestors; It is rare for the eldest son to call his father, and he does not look back, and he does not allow his wife to cry. No matter how reluctant you are, you must abide by the mysterious rules of survival. He was arrogant, I don't know if he learned the action of "six relatives don't recognize" from Hong Kong films, and snapped his fingers as he walked. I like drug dealers to call him a professor (I didn't go to college seriously at all, and I just studied chemistry for a short time), and told the escort girl that he was a ...... who taught chemistry
He criticized wildly, sat by the river, and threw the hard-to-make ** into the river without a sound, and the live fish in the river turned over the next morning. In a promotional tidbit, it can be seen that Zhang Songwen is very serious and particular about every scene. He would ask the professional guide on the spot if he wanted to wear the watch, and he judged that he could not wear it. For Huang Zongwei's drug-making technology, he also reached a consensus with the director, Huang is happy and confident in his heart when making drugs, and when externalized to his body language, it is smooth and elegant, and when he holds a test tube, it is like taking care of a delicate flower. Because Huang Zongwei can create a local ** with a high degree of original purity without using traditional raw materials, it is the most proud talent and skill in his life, which can be "patented", and it is also the bargaining chip and hole card that he can maneuver between various ** drug dealers.
The moment of drug production was the highlight of his life. There is no need to go wild in front of everyone, he is already mad when he is alone. An actor who gives so much detail to a script that is likely to be a few pages thin based on his life experience, learning ability, and imaginationWithout the drama "Hurricane", Zhang Songwen still has a chance to emergeZhang Songwen relied on performance to remove the sense of drama, but Yao Anna, who was side by side with him in the "leading starring" position, was the opposite. That ** didn't amplify her poor acting skills, she acted really stiffly, and her lines were also subdued and frustrated, and her limbs were a lot worse than those of her companions next to her. I can't even do a sense of drama, let alone integrate into the naturalness and relaxation of life. Yao's character is very clear, Zhao Younan, a female police officer who has been transferred from the army, volunteered to rush to the front line of anti-narcotics, and then started the so-called big heroine route. The policeman played by Yao Anna looks like a flurry, but the setting has some intuition and touch to handle the case. At the beginning of each episode, one of her lines will be repeated, "(Huang Zongwei) predicted our prediction". But where does this touch come from? The ears and eyes of the troops, the instincts of women? In short, there is no explanation. The cleverness of her case-handling ability was simplified by her to a partner of her superiors, lacking foreshadowing and packaging, which formed a distinct language style with the down-to-earth and informative language style of drug dealers.
In terms of his own ability, he lacks performance experience and has not undergone systematic or even routine training, which is an abrupt existence in any work; My father is a big entrepreneur who publishes cosmic golden sentences every year, and he is also a soldier, and his sister is also a majestic woman. It's too early to talk about talent, and it is inevitable to get on the through train and become the female number one on the same level as Zhang Songwen, that is, not to give time and space to self or passive pruning, and it is inevitable to be exposed to the public and discussed. Although she was made the titular heroine in the script setting, it can be seen from Gao Qunshu's Weibo that the police line was added later, not to mention it in a hurry, the main intention is to pass the trial smoothly. This role, if not the choice of capital, is an ingredient added halfway, boring and correct. Interestingly, the other female characters in this drama are all wonderful. Let's just say Ami, the hostess of the fresh noodle restaurant, and then followed Huang Zongwei to the end of the world. I don't know if anyone recognizes her, she is Wei Jin who participated in "Creation 101". Scolding scoundrels, resisting the boss's groping, and deceiving the police to make a false confession, this is a woman with a good temper, with a bit of charlatanism, and with one look, she believes that Huang is a man who can take her to see the world.
Her follow-up scenes have not been unlocked yet, but her existing performance is accurate, and she can catch Zhang Songwen's rival scenes, and because she can speak Cantonese from time to time, she conveys a style similar to that of a Hong Kong film in a trance, like a hot wind blowing, energetic. Maybe it's because it's "bad", but it has more aftertaste than the positive policewoman. As mentioned above, in fact, the drug dealer line of "Ice Hunting" is the highlight, and it is also different from the previous domestic dramas with the same theme - there is no big scene of bullets and bullets, and the brotherhood that almost makes the audience emotionally turn against each other, in addition to the budget is not supported, there is no room for the story itself. The drug dealers in the play only think about the two most simple thingsMoney and life。Drug dealer Chen Jianchang fled in a speedboat with Huang Zongwei and others, followed by the police who accelerated the pursuit, Chen immediately raised his gun to force Ah Long, and threw the most worthless drug addict Bingbing into the river, artificially slowing down the police. Ah Long was reluctant, and Huang Zongwei came forward to force Ah Long to do it.
Ah Long collapsed, hugged his girlfriend, and threw him into the river like a piece of meat, and Chen Jianchang also made up a few shots. In addition to being shocked, I think about it and feel reasonable. Drug dealers have amassed quite a bit, brutal survival secret; The woman of the drug dealer here does not give room to express the pain and struggle of the stereotype, she does not even resist or reply, everything is numb. "Ice Hunting" may be one of the more vivid ones that shows the life of drug dealers in recent years. For example, the camera does not shy away from the red pants when the drug dealer has his back to the audience, representing the drug dealer's "simple" life-saving superstition, facing the audience's big belly and loose pants, there is no need to create a deliberate "sloppy handsome" and "evil beauty" ......Another example is Brother Chang's decisiveness when judging the pros and cons, he talks less nonsense, he is ruthless, and he turns his face when he says it, Huang Zongwei proved his business ability, and immediately dragged the previous drug maker out to kill ......
In addition to Zhang Songwen's own protagonist halo, the drug dealers in it are basically amateurs, some have accents, some have low appearance, and some feel "stinky" just by looking at the picture. Poor crew, low budget, few stars, and the uneven water level of the two lines of the script ......All of this makes up the reality of "Ice Hunting" now. This is both its characteristic and certainly the reason why it is not liked. Like it or not, it varies from person to person.
What scares me most is that when a kind of criticism and praise swarms in, it means that only the same style, routine, and aesthetic remain.
