Although 2021 is not a big year for spy dramas, but there are many good spy war works, especially the "Opponent" broadcast at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, which not only draws a satisfactory end to the spy war screen throughout the year, but also injects a clear stream into the anti-special theme, allowing the audience to enjoy a feast of human fireworks. The curtain has opened in 2022, what spy dramas worth looking forward to will land on the screen in 2022?
First, "Faith" Qin Junjie Kan Qingzi hidden front bloody romance
For the first time, the drama brings the great hidden front under the leadership of Red Agent Li Kenong to the screen, reproducing the turbulent and magnificent history of espionage warfare during the Liberation War.
The male and female protagonists of the play are starring Qin Junjie and Kan Qingzi respectively. In the play, Qin Junjie plays Zhao Yunfei, a new young man who has returned from studying abroad and gradually improved, which is also the third time that Qin Junjie has participated in spy dramas after "Seamless" and "Hengshan Hospital". With the first two good experiences, in "Faith", Qin Junjie is more familiar with it. Playing a revolutionary predecessor is not only an honor for Qin Junjie, but also a kind of pressure.
The heroine Chen Yuting is played by Kan Qingzi, which is also kan Qingzi's third appearance in spy movies after "Sparrow" and "Spy Battle Deep Sea Sting", the first two times playing lovers with Li Yifeng and Zhang Ruoyun respectively. In "Faith", Kan Qingzi will play a revolutionary comrade-in-arms with Qin Junjie.
Compared with "Seamless Heaven" and "Hengshan Hospital", "Faith" is more real and vivid, with Li Kenong's life story as the main line, showing the magnificent and thrilling historical picture of our party's intelligence front during the war years. The drama was included in the key TV drama project of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television "Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of New China", which can be seen in the official weight.
In addition to the two protagonists, Qin Junjie and Kan Qingzi, "Faith" also invited powerful actors such as Li Naiwen, Guo Tao, Gan Tingting, Mayashu, and Zhong Dani to join in, and strived to reproduce the complex and changeable and thrilling scenes of the underground struggle in the Liberation War for the audience.
Second, "Infinity": Jin Dong Wang Likun re-plays the infernal revolutionary partner
The drama tells the story of lu feng, an orphan who grew up on the eve of the surrender of Japanese imperialism in 1944, who was ordered to break into the No. 76 of the Japanese secret service agency, and happened to meet his former lover Hua Xiangyu, and the two fought side by side with the special enemy in a life-and-death contest full of wisdom and courage.
In the play, Jin Dong and Wang Likun play the male and female protagonists respectively. On September 23, 2021, Jin Dong posted a Weibo post introducing the main synopsis: "Confined to the whirlpool of conspiracy, looking for the truth." Look up at the twinkling stars in the distance, and look down to see the endless wind and clouds. From the short text introduction, it can be guessed that "Infinity" is another entangled spy story.
The male protagonist Lu Feng is starred by Jin Dong. Since his debut in 1993, he has participated in many spy war films: Yue Zhensheng, who is handsome and resolute and courageous in "Special Competition", Shen Jianqiu, who is calm and sharp, elegant and firm in "Secret Killing List", Mu Liangfeng, who is grumpy and wears Yang in "Wolf Smoke Everywhere", and Ming Lou, who is charming and decisive in "The Pretender", Jin Dong has always relied on strength and truth to impress the audience and gain recognition. His dashing appearance, coupled with his pure acting skills, has made many audiences especially obsessed and willing to be fooled. In "Infinity", Jin Dong will continue to show his mercurial and resourceful personality, and stage a poignant and moving chaotic love song with Hua Xiangyu, played by Wang Likun.
The heroine Hua Xiangyu is starred by Wang Likun. Audiences who like spy movies are also familiar with Wang Likun. Like Jin Dong, Wang Likun is also a frequent visitor among espionage fans.
Since her debut in "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" in 2004, she has participated in many spy dramas such as "Youth Blindness", "Informer", "Minus Thirty-Eight Degrees", etc., and the most respected by the audience is "Minus Thirty-Eight Degrees", wang Likun's evergreen play is remarkable, which adds a lot to the plot. The drama was called the "Chinese version of mr. and mrs. Smith" by the audience.
In "Infinity", she will continue to continue her personality of wisdom and beauty, playing the lover of Lu Feng. After the reunion of The 76th with The Land Wind, the two most familiar strangers finally turned enemies into friends and fought side by side to successfully complete the extraordinary tasks assigned by the organization.
In addition to Jin Dong and Wang Likun, "Infinity" also invited Wang Zhiwen, Zhang Zhijian and other old drama bones to join in, and strived to provide the audience with a wonderful spy feast. At present, the drama has successfully passed the review and is expected to land on the screen in the first half of 2022.
Third, "Shocking Strings": Sun Honglei Jiang Yiyan re-starred in "Latent" fake couple
The drama tells the story of Zhang Fan and Gu Nian, an underground intelligence worker of our party, pretending to be husband and wife, infiltrating the police of the Harbin Pseudo-Manchuria Police Department to investigate and eliminate the traitor "Duke", and the two helped each other fight side by side to welcome the dawn.
After reading the synopsis of this story, is there some feeling of déjà vu returning? Yes, "Shocking Strings" and "Cliff" not only have some similar stories, but even the background and location of the times are highly similar. Some netizens once joked that this is simply a collection of "Latent" and "Cliff"!
Judging from the limited information released by the crew at present, Sun Honglei will play the male protagonist Zhang Fan in the play, Jiang Yiyan will play the female protagonist Gu Nian, and the two will once again stage the revolutionary romantic story of the fake husband and wife and real comrades in "Latent" in the play.
Since "Latent", Sun Honglei has rarely participated in spy dramas. After many years of silence in 2019, Sun Honglei co-starred in the spy drama "New World" with Zhang Luyi and Wan Qian, but did not achieve the same market effect as "Latent". This time to take over "Shocking Strings" must be a choice made after careful consideration. With "Latent" in front, I believe that the audience has long been waiting for it, and the expectations are full of expectations.
In the play, Jiang Yiyan will play the heroine Gu Nian. Jiang Yiyan, in 2008, entered the entertainment circle by starring in the urban love drama "Our Youth With Nowhere to Stay". In 2009, he played the simple And simple Hakka girl Qiuxi in the spy war movie "Qiuxi", but did not achieve good social repercussions and market effects. In 2016, she participated in the spy war drama "Little Woman in the Ancient City" with Duan Yihong, and the response was flat after being broadcast on the ground channel, perhaps "once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope", after which she rarely dabbled in the theme of spy war, this time participating in spy war films again, for her, it is both a transformation and a challenge. In "Shocking Strings", what kind of transformation Jiang Yiyan will bring, we eat melon masses lift the bench to wait and see.
In addition, "Shocking Strings" also gathered two powerful actors Huang Lei and Zhang Songwen to join it. I believe that with the thoughtfulness of Sun Honglei and Jiang Yiyan, and the re-compilation of Liu Heping, screenwriter of "No War in Peiping", "Daming Dynasty 1566", and "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Shocking Strings" will definitely break the sky and shine.
4. "The City of The Dragon": Liu Yunlong Zhang Jiayi staged a spy battle giant derby with Hewei
Unlike the previous three spy dramas, "The City of The Dragon" tells the story of men. The era background of the play is set in 1939, when the Anti-Japanese War was scorching, and the narrative revolved around the brothers Ling Yunzhou and LingYuezhou, telling the story of the brothers and brothers who were deeply in love with each other, fought side by side, and set off the anti-Japanese national salvation in Shanghai's financial circles.
The drama stars Liu Yunlong, Zhang Jiayi, Yu Hewei and Lei Jiayin. These four people, put in any drama, are heavyweight characters. Now four big-man-level characters are on the same stage, belonging to different camps, and staged a spy war giant derby. As soon as the luxury lineup was announced, it caused a hot discussion on the Internet. Many netizens jokingly called the play a "king bomb combination", which shows the high expectations of spy fans for this drama.
Liu Yunlong, everyone is familiar with it. Since his debut, he has made a total of 13 spy war films, almost all of which are classics, so he has also been jokingly called "the godfather of spy war" by the industry. In particular, "Kite" pushed Liu Yunlong's prestige to the peak, he integrated his own understanding into the connotation of the character, understood and reconstructed the character of the character, and interpreted the sixth brother Zheng Yaoxian vividly and vividly. This makes "Sixth Brother" almost synonymous with Liu Yunlong.
Zhang Jiayi is also a big gangster-level character in spy dramas, although the repertoire is not as much as Liu Yunlong, but each one is a classic. In particular, Zhou Yi in "Cliff", both mature and stable, but also meticulous and introverted, is one of the most classic characters in the spy agent. This time out of the mountains to participate in the spy war drama again, it can be said that everyone is looking forward to it!
There is also a spy war boss in the play is Yu Hewei. When it comes to Yu Hewei, the audience is full of admiration. Whether it is a historical drama, an emotional drama, whether it is a life ethics drama, or a spy drama, Yu Hewei can master it with ease, such as arm to finger. This time to participate in the "Lingyue Storm", it can be said that the return of the king is worth looking forward to.
In addition, the drama also invited Lei Jiayin to join it. At present, the crew has not yet announced the stills and roles, but it is conceivable that with such a luxurious lineup, it is worth it for the audience to stay up late to chase the drama.
V. "The Battle Line Without Smoke": Du Chunying'er re-enacts "Proof of Identity"
The play is based on the novel of the same name by writer Ma Zhitu, "The Battle Front Without Smoke", and the storyline is somewhat similar to "Proof of Identity", telling the story of underground party members who have lost contact with the organization, insisted on their faith, and constantly tried to confirm their identity.
The drama starred Du Chun, Guo Jiaming, Ying Er, Tu Songyan and others. In the play, Du Chun starred as the male protagonist Li Heng. He was originally an underground intelligence officer of our party, lost contact with the organization in the rain of bullets and bullets, and became a kite with a broken line. Because of his outstanding work ability, he was absorbed by the Kuomintang Central Committee, and although he was in Cao Ying, he was bent on the sun, and in the process of finding the organization, he secretly and constantly launched a thrilling and deadly struggle with the enemy.
The heroine Jia Yunying is played by Ying'er. Ying Er once played the heroine Zhai Li in the anti-special drama "Decryption", although the response of the play was mediocre, but Ying Er performed well and became the biggest highlight of the play. In "War Without Smoke", Ying Er will continue to play the role of lover. In the play, he is the former lover of the male protagonist Li Heng. The two will stage a fruitless love on the front line without smoke, seeing here, does the audience feel that the drama is different from the happy ending of many spy dramas?
As a local historical drama in Sichuan, the drama not only shows the fierce battles on the hidden front, but also shows the paoge culture along the Yangtze River in Sichuan during the war, and the strong Sichuan dialect and Chongqing dialect can be heard everywhere in the play, which can be feasted on by the audiences in Sichuan and Chongqing.
