Today is undoubtedly a big day full of surprises and expectations for viewers who love domestic dramas, because there are two high-profile blockbuster new dramas that will be broadcast on the same day! The first is "The River is Rising", starring Huang Zhizhong and Zhang Guoqiang, two powerful actors. This drama is not simple, it not only focuses on the theme of environmental protection, but also cleverly integrates the current popular anti-crime elements, which can be described as novel and down-to-earth. What's more worth mentioning is that in addition to the two leading actors, the crew also recruited a group of old actors with solid acting skills to join, and the luxury of the lineup is eye-catching.
There have been voices in the market that "The River is Sunrise" is expected to be comparable to the smash hit "In the Name of the People" in terms of plot depth and social influence, which has made the majority of audiences look forward to it for a long time. Just tonight, this much-anticipated masterpiece will debut on Hunan Satellite TV's ** period, which is bound to bring the audience an exciting and exciting audio-visual feast.
Another high-profile work is the web drama "Detective Chinatown 2", starring Qiu Ze, Shang Yuxian, Yu Haoming, etc. The first work of the web series was launched in 2020 and was praised for its high-quality brain-burning suspense plot. As a work of Tang Detective Universe, this drama has the same movie as "Detective Chinatown".
First, the second part is comparable to the strength. The audience's word-of-mouth response is good, and it has accumulated a large fan base. At 7 o'clock tonight, "Detective Chinatown 2" will be launched on the iQiyi platform, presenting a new detective journey for the audience.
These two dramas have their own unique characteristics, so let's focus on the web series "Detective Chinatown 2".
First of all, as a movie fan, I have always loved the "Detective Chinatown" series, from the first part all the way back to the third part, almost every one of them has been repeated. Detective Chinatown is not only a movie, but also the online drama has also aroused my strong interest, which makes me both full of anticipation and ambivalence for this series.
What I love is the high quality of the first two films, and they have raised my expectations and enthusiasm for this series.
The third film is regrettably in that it fails to meet the high expectations of the audience, despite the many stars and the huge investment. The movie was not only released during the Spring Festival, but the texture of the suspense elements was also greatly affected, making it evolve into an absurd and funny work, losing the unique texture of the original series.
About the web series "Detective Chinatown 2".
As an important supplement to the "Tang Tan Universe", although there is no direct connection with the content of the movie, the various elements of the Tang Tan Universe are closely intertwined through subtle and close connections. When reviewing "Detective Chinatown 1", we found that the show contains a total of three separate story units, focusing on Tang Ren's apprentice Lin Mo, a character with an abnormal sense of smell. In the second story, "The Name of the Rose", Ivy played by Zhang Junning shows the image of a mysterious woman who has experienced four marriages, and each of her husbands has ended in a mysterious death.
Ivy exudes an indescribable charm, through cleverly constructed lies, so that the originally witty and cautious Lin Mo unconsciously opened his heart to her, and even fell into the whirlpool of love, becoming the object of her skillful manipulation. The development of this plot also triggered speculation about the identity of Q in the "Tang Detective Universe", adding suspense and climax to the entire plot.
And in "Detective Chinatown 2", four separate story units show the audience a more complex and gripping plot. The first case "Angel's Melody" took place in the Angel Sanatorium, and Lin Mo was involved by a mysterious **. However, due to the liaison's mysterious death, Lin Mo is trapped in a sanatorium, as if he is bound by a mysterious force and cannot escape. In this empty sanatorium, piano music plays like a ghost, adding a lot to the whole story.
In the second case, "Devil's Breath", the victim is a lawyer. Linmo's investigation revealed that the lawyer, Naveen, was killed in connection with the enrichment and prying into other people's secrets, so it was determined to be an act of revenge.
The third case, "Amusement Park", is related to a man named Kiko. Kiko makes a living by accepting clients' commissions, but accidentally discovers clues about her sister's suicide during an investigation. The investigation leads to a suspect, and whether this person is the legendary Q or not, this case may bring important clues to the person who decrypted Q.
The fourth case, "**City", involves cyber warfare. While investigating a cross-border vault theft, Kiko accidentally witnesses a founder falling from a building. When a suspenseful case is combined with the Internet, what kind of sparks will be generated?
The cast continues to star Qiu Ze, while Kiko's role is played by Sang Yuxian. In addition to them, new characters such as Rong Zishan and Yu Haoming have also been added. The trailer also features Liu Haoran, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang and other characters of the "Tang Detective Universe", which will further enrich the network of the "Tang Detective Universe".
Suffice it to say, people can't wait to look forward to this work!
According to the information provided and the display of the trailer, Liu Haoran, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang and other key roles played in the "Tang Tan Universe" will appear in a new web drama, presenting a larger and more complete "Tang Tan Universe" to the audience. This is undoubtedly full of anticipation.
Regarding director Chen Sicheng, some people believe that he is the first person in the field of Chinese suspense dramas. In his early years, he frequently participated in werewolf killing games in major clubs in Beijing, showing extremely meticulous thinking and superb skills, which made it difficult to find a match. With his outstanding talent for reasoning, he has created a number of high-scoring domestic suspense works, including the high-profile film "Detective Chinatown" series and the "Manslaughter" series starring Xiao Yang. In 2023, Chen Sicheng also launched the high-profile film "Disappearing Her", in which the bizarre human pictures, the profound depiction of women's psychology and the fan market of powerful fresh meat all showed his deep insight into the audience and the market, which successfully aroused widespread attention and discussion.
In addition, "The Rising River" is a striking work. Set against the backdrop of Qijiang's serious pollution problems, the play tells the story of Zheng Hanjiang (played by Huang Zhizhong), a university professor who is entrusted with the duties of deputy mayor in charge of environmental issues in the whirlpool of power and interests. Zheng Hanjiang decided to start with the snack street, a popular place for people, to try to solve environmental problems through reform. However, his move has met with strong opposition from the masses and stakeholders, who believe that such reforms will destroy their livelihoods and cause a series of disputes and obstacles.
These new information undoubtedly provide more expectations for the audience, not only the expansion of "Tang Tan Universe", but also the new work directed by Chen Sicheng and the fascinating plot of "The River is on the Sun". It will be an audio-visual feast not to be missed.
However, Zheng Hanjiang did not stop because of this. Instead, he decided to vigorously rectify the city's key polluting enterprises, despite opposition from his colleagues. In the face of many incomprehensible voices, it was not until a life was lost that everyone realized the urgency of cleaning up the environment. The issue of "hidden pipe discharge" involved in the case also reveals the intricate distribution of benefits behind it, and even involves the problem of anti-crime activities, which may be the key reason why environmental protection work is difficult to promote and solve.
In the end, with the support of Liao Yuzheng (played by Zhang Guoqiang), secretary of the Qijiang Municipal Party Committee, Zheng Hanjiang overcame many difficulties, withstood many opposition, and successfully completed the environmental governance task of Qijiang City.
In addition, this drama is starred by many senior actors such as Huang Zhizhong, Zhang Guoqiang, Mei Ting and Jiang Wu, and they are all powerful from the starring role to the supporting role. Although Huang Zhizhong played the protagonist "Hai Rui" in "Ming Dynasty 1566", I am especially looking forward to Jiang Wu's performance.
Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu, although they are born from the same root, have their own style. Jiang Wu's guy gives people the feeling that he is a real honest man, as honest as a warm stone, but don't forget, behind his generosity, there is still a trace of Jiang Wen's fortitude and evil energy, like a dark tide lurking under the water, which may surge out if you are not careful.
Therefore, in the TV series, when Jiang Wu plays the role of Qian Qi, one of the key corporate giants in Qijiang City, how he will start a fierce confrontation with Huang Zhizhong's character around money and interests, which has undoubtedly become a major attraction that the audience is talking about and looking forward to. And whether "Detective Chinatown 2", which director Chen Sicheng strongly promoted, can once again set off a boom in suspense dramas, it is indeed worth waiting to be seen.
