The modern criminal investigation drama "Ice Hunting" starring Zhang Songwen and Yao Anna has been controversial and polarized since its launch, but the popularity has been straight up**. This small-budget TV series can have such results, and director Gao Qunshu didn't expect it.
This is the first TV series launched by Zhang Songwen after "Hurricane", the gangster boss "Gao Qiqiang" has not diminished, and the desperate poisoner "Huang Zongwei" has been launched domineeringly, and the ratings on the first day are quite good, but it has also ushered in various complaints from netizens.
At the beginning, everyone was very satisfied with the performance of Zhang Songwen, the godfather of acting, and the focus of the debate was on the non-professional acting skills and twisted character of Yao Anna, the second princess of Huawei.
As the plot progresses, the screenwriter seems to be the villain's side, why do you say that? There is too much difference between the shaping methods of the positive and negative characters, so to speak, the villain is carefully polished, and the decent is rough.
The villain is led by Huang Zongwei played by Zhang Songwen, in order to avoid the investigation of **, he is scheming, and in this "cat and mouse" competition, Huang Zongwei can always escape smoothly.
The screenwriter has worked hard to tell the process of escape, with delicate descriptions, strong logic, attention to details, and vignettes, the characters stand up instantly, and the plot is full of ups and downs, and the more you watch it, the more you look at it, the more you look at it.
Huang Zongwei's escape plan is very thorough, he does everything for money and escape, he only loves himself!
Settle your wife and children——Hiding from his wife, he bought a house in Haining in advance, and his wife was a nanny to ensure the safety of his three sons.
to blackmail Uncle Zhong- didn't say hello to Uncle Zhong, directly painted a big cake for the simple Ah Long and took it away, with Ah Long by his side, Uncle Zhong would never betray himself.
Satisfy selfish desires——flirted ambiguously with the little waiter in the noodle restaurant, not only kept **, but also caused a fire and got out smoothly.
Play the emotional card——When he learned that Ah Long's feelings for Bingbing were real, in order to make Ah Long die and need to sacrifice Bingbing on the yacht, Huang Zongwei shouted to sacrifice himself and forced Ah Long to push Bingbing into the water with his own hands, proving Ah Long's loyalty and no longer having to worry about the future.
Pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages——Abandon Ah Chang, who is also a fugitive, directly kick out the intermediary, and cooperate directly with Boss Tan to maximize profits.
Technology at your fingertips——Huang Zongwei took the chemistry book to read from time to time, looking like an intellectual, and each bigwig's address to him gradually progressed, from "Boss Huang" to "Teacher Huang", then to "Professor Huang", and finally directly called "Tianshen". It can be seen that "learn physics and chemistry well, and go all over the world".
A master of flirting- Huang Zongwei is ostensibly a beloved wife, so that his wife can take care of the children with peace of mind, but in fact he is very good at flirting with his sister, he fell in love with the waiter Ami when he ran away, and the sentence "You wander the world with me" brought Ami to his side and became his lover.
Chicken soup + painted flatbread- Huang Zongwei talks to Ah Long about ideals, you don't need to know too much, just follow yourself to make a lot of money. Talk to Achang about the scale of production, and make Achang the first in China. praised Boss Tan for having a big pattern, emphasizing that he could help Boss Tan become the godfather of Kunsha and Southeast Asia, and directly praised Boss Tan to the sky.
Anticipate in advance——Every key step, Huang Zongwei can predict the crisis in advance, whether it is cooperating with He Hongzhang, or cooperating with Ah Chang or Boss Tan, he will think about the way back in advance, these people are arrested or killed, but he can escape with his whole body.
From these aspects, it can be seen that the screenwriter wrote Huang Zongwei as a god, as if he was "able to reach the sky", which can not only judge the actions of **, but also imply that Boss Tan has an undercover agent, which led to the sacrifice of Brother Huo.
Coupled with the blessing of Zhang Songwen's excellent acting skills, there is an illusion that the villain's side seems to "have the upper hand".
However, evil does not prevail over good, no matter Huang Zongwei escapes to **, he is still in hot pursuit, but the plot is much inferior in describing the decent side.
The plot is advancing the first route, the logic of the lines is poor, there are errors in the details, the characters are thin, the actors' expressions are rigid, and the behavior is not rigorous enough. Perhaps due to the shortage of funds, the heroic battle scene of the anti-narcotics police was not well interpreted.
Leadership lines- Need a person who can pretend to be a duke dealer, the gay man recommended himself, and the leader asked rhetorically, "Have you ever taken drugs?" They can tell at a glance if they are on drugs or not", and then went on to say that it was better to need a lesbian with combat experience. Can't the policewoman see it? This line is just to make the heroine Zhao Younan appear, which is a little blunt.
The heroine's acting skills- Yao Anna's expression has no sense of layering, she always squints her eyes, and she seems to have no spirit and no heroic feeling. During the reconnaissance operation, the range of movements was very large, the body was tense, the posture was awkward, and it looked unnatural, and it was jokingly called "chicken-eating acting" by netizens. In the face of the sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms, his expression did not change much, and he couldn't see sadness, no wonder netizens complained.
Heroine aura——Every major discovery is put forward by the heroine Zhao Younan, and the meeting is all up to the heroine. It is speculated that Huang Zongwei fled to Quang Ninh, found newspapers and clues of raw materials, single-handedly tracked the trucks to the lair of the Du dealers, discovered problems with cold chain trucks and mixers, and so on. In short, I hope that the credit will go to an inexperienced little policewoman, who highlights the aura of the heroine too much, and wants to live like a family.
Wayward character- Zhao Younan partnered with the captain to investigate clues, but the captain listened to Zhao Younan at all times, and the captain worked as an assistant to a little policewoman, tolerating Zhao Younan's willful character of not obeying orders and running away from the toilet window without permission. Because the du dealer recognized the captain's appearance and ran away, the captain still had to look at Zhao Younan's face, what kind of thinking is this, I don't understand!
Undercover old gun- The old gun acted with a righteous face, and as soon as he appeared, he saw that he was an undercover agent. Sneaking to the power distribution room was found by Boss Tan, jokingly saying that he was bored without a woman, but after arranging a woman for him, he said that he didn't want to touch it, pointed a gun at his head, and his expression was too violent, and the cunning Boss Tan actually believed it. The undercover line appears brainless.
Mistakes in details——When Zhao Younan saw the body of the old gun, in order to highlight the sacrifice, he close-up the bullet hole in the chest, but there was only one, and when the old gun was sacrificed, he was later shot twice, all in the chest, since it is to be close-up, such details cannot be neglected.
The rhythm is chaotic——The pace is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. One episode is only 35 minutes, and it took Zhao Younan more than 20 minutes to pretend to catch the gangsters, but this gangster has nothing to do with the main plot. Unexpectedly, in less than two episodes, ** found the clues of Huang Zongwei along the vine.
In contrast, I really asked the director if there was Zhang Songwen's scene that was filmed well, and if not, the shooting would be rough. That is to say, in this drama, the portrayal of the positive and negative is too polarizing!
It does not show the thrilling situation and danger of the anti-narcotics police, the fearlessness in the face of sacrifice, nor does it highlight the frantic and inhumane nature of the Du traffickers, but focuses on describing the intelligence and wit of the Du traffickers.
Of course, chasing dramas in order to see Zhang Songwen's acting skills feels that it is worth chasing to the end, and many of the shooting techniques are very real, live shooting, fighting in the mud, real guns, etc., which is still very enjoyable.
Anyway, "Ice Hunting" was produced in a short period of time under the condition of shortage of funds, and it can't be too demanding, as long as Zhang Songwen joins, this drama is already very valuable.
