The anti-corruption drama is about to blow up again.
This genre used to be the trump card of national dramas, which can not only show the demeanor of anti-corruption heroes, but also expose the corruption of officialdom, with a compact plot and plump characters. , also gave birth to a lot of high-scoring masterpieces.
However, with the control of scale, this type of drama has fallen into a creative trough.
Until the broadcast of "In the Name of the People" in 2017, the ratings counterattacked all the way, from the premiere of 15, soaring to a single episode high of 73, refreshed the satellite TV ratings record.
It's a pity that the anti-corruption hit was just a flash in the pan, and in the following years, there was no decent anti-corruption drama.
However, the new drama of Hunan Satellite TV may be able to become another dark horse of national dramas like "In the Name of the People" back then
"The River is on the Sun" has been broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, and Mango Network is broadcast exclusively, I dare to say that this drama is ruthless enough.
As soon as the main drama opened, I smelled a full hardcore atmosphere.
The fishermen went out to sea to salvage normally, but they didn't expect to catch a male corpse, and the deceased was the deputy mayor of Qijiang City in charge of the environment.
What's even more bizarre is that before he died, he left a letter to university professor Zheng Hanjiang (played by Huang Zhizhong), which only had four big words on it: Save Qi Jiang.
Qijiang's hidden environmental problems have also been uncovered by a suicide case.
Zheng Hanjiang was ordered to take over the position of deputy mayor in the face of danger, and constantly negotiated with the heads of local key enterprises to investigate the fact of "hidden pipe discharge".
Justice, interests, power.
Human nature, human hearts, human lives.
The forces of various parties are surging due to environmental issues, and the characters are-for-tat, and the relationship between the characters is confusing.
The task that the protagonist has to face is not as simple as protecting the environment, but to break the huge network of interests formed by the protection of officials and the trading of money and power.
What kind of intricate truth does this lead to? The trailer has already filled the suspense, and I can't wait to watch the show.
However, the most intuitive attraction of the show to the audience is the cast.
The heroine of this play, served by Mei Ting, when she saw the cast, many viewers were relieved.
Mei Ting's performance is not the kind of explosive style, but follows the feelings, interpreting the character slowly and methodically, and through her expression and tone, you can see the character's personality characteristics.
In "Parents Love", An Jie is a young lady from a capitalist family, with pride in her bones, seeing that her husband can't eat steak and is ridiculed by everyone, she silently rolls her eyes and shows the disgust in her heart.
When he learned that his "stepson" who he didn't like was in love with his favorite niece, An Jie sat on the sofa, glared at each other, forced the anger in his heart, and wanted to scold.
Two fire scenes, one forbearance and one outburst, Mei Ting's character changes at different ages and moods, and many audiences were deeply impressed by Mei Ting's performance.
With this role, she won the Flying Vision.
In the new drama, Mei Ting plays the role of Xiao Xue, a hospital doctor and Zheng Hanjiang's wife, when she was threatened by others, she pursed her mouth slightly, looked at each other indifferently, and showed the disdain in her heart to the fullest.
I believe she will bring more surprises to the audience.
However, when I looked at the cast, I still sweated for Mei Ting, but whenever she pulled her hips, she couldn't suppress this group of supporting roles with explosive acting skills.
How strong is the supporting cast of "The River Sun", let's talk about it one by one-
The first place, Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu's acting skills have been recognized by the audience, and his performance in works such as "Little Aunt Duohe" has been well received by the audience.
In "Eight Hundred", his role as "Lao Tie" is one of the highlights of the film, Lao Tie loves to brag and is very cowardly, bringing a touch of joy to the heavy atmosphere of the film.
From hiding in a sack at the beginning of the battle, trembling with a gun, to being shot in the face to save a comrade-in-arms, to finally going to the roof alone to attract firepower, and sacrificing himself to cover the retreat of the team.
His transformation from "cowardice" to the awakening of heroic thoughts is also impressive, and Jiang Wu also interpreted the character's inner transformation just right.
In the new play, Jiang Wu plays the role of Qian Qi, the person in charge of the company, who is also a direct sinner who causes environmental pollution.
Jiang Wu plays the bad guy, this drama is interesting.
second place, Zhang Guoqiang.
Zhang Guoqiang used to give the audience the impression of a hot-blooded tough guy, but the role of Ni Weimin played in "Mature Years" let the audience see his plasticity as an actor.
As soon as he appeared, he had a scruffy beard, a big belly, walked up and bent over, and the image of the little old man stood up instantly.
The wife at home said that he wanted to move to the old lady's house, but he didn't agree but only dared to secretly pull the other party's clothes under the table, and tried to open his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Zhang Guoqiang interprets the character's submissive image superbly, and brings a hint of comedy to the character.
In "The River is on the rise", Zhang Guoqiang plays the role of Liao Yuzheng, the municipal secretary, who looks righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, and puts pressure on his subordinates everywhere in his words.
third place, Dong Yong.
Like Zhang Guoqiang, Dong Yong also came out of the circle with the role of "tough guy".
A "Black Hole" and a "Six Groups of Serious Cases" make the image of the police created by Dong Yong deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, his interpretation is not homogeneous, and the characteristics of each role have become very eye-catching because of his superb acting skills.
In "Flowers" at the beginning of the year, Dong Yong played the role of Mr. Fan, which subverted the previous image.
As long as he appears in front of the camera, he speaks a non-standard Shanghainese dialect with a flattering smile on his face, showing the humility of the little people to the fullest, whether it is action, eyes or tone, they are very suitable for the characteristics of the character.
In a few scenes in the new play, it can be seen that he is raising a leader who is dedicated to the people, no matter what role is given to Dong Yong, he can play it well.
In addition to this, there are in the playHuang Zhizhong, Xu Yajun, He Zhengjun, Du Yuan, Guo Xiaotingand many other powerful actors joined, and a group of powerful people were racing on the same stage, fierce enough.
The influence of actors on a drama is decisive, and from this point of view, "River Sunrise" has won hemp.
From the protagonist to the supporting role, three generations of powerful actors from the old, middle and young generations are gathered, and the chemical reaction generated by their simultaneous drama has raised the texture of the whole play to a higher level.
Moreover, the plot itself is also extremely tense, firmly attracting the audience.
The mysterious letter left by the deceased, the hidden story behind the drowning case, and the behind-the-scenes pollution of the environment, combine environmental protection issues with the pull of various forces, and just the preview presents a confusing sense of suspense.
The case is full of suspicions, what is the truth?
Let's keep chasing.
