In 2019, a "Icebreaker Action", because of its excellent actors and wonderful plot, repeatedly became the "topic king" during the broadcast, and once set a rating of 8.34% for a single episode.
It is also because of the praise of the previous work, "Ice Rain and Fire", also directed by Fu Dongyu, has attracted much attention since it was launched. After the completion of the production, it was repeatedly broadcast, but it was never officially finalized.
However, on the evening of August 11, "Ice Rain and Fire" had zero publicity and landed, and updated 4 episodes at a time.
The surprise came too suddenly, of course, to follow up first.
1. The narrative is straightforward, but it is also full of twists and turns, and it hides the machine edge
Also a drug-de-narcotics suspense criminal investigation drama, "Ice Rain and Fire" is like "Icebreaker Action", the opening is a crisp and neat straight ball.
A chase and confrontation that takes place on a rainy night in the jungle turns out to be Chen Yu's (Wang Yibo)'s nightmare. He had just woken up from a dream, his mood had not yet calmed down, and he received a call from a colleague.
At the scene of the murder, Chen Yu had a keen eye, accurate judgment, and actively performed in front of the leader. But even in anticipation of returning to the anti-drug brigade, he kept his secret.
After finding the piece of broken jade under the table, Chen Yu did not hand it in, but secretly hid it and went to the jade shop to verify.
As soon as the camera turns, the owner of the jade appears in the camera.
Chen Yu returned to the team as he wished, and based on the tattoos on the deceased's body, he guessed that it was related to the old case three years ago, and proposed a joint investigation. But his immediate boss, Lin Dezan (Wang Jinsong), looks problematic.
Lin Dezan has been working in Yunhe County for many years, and it seems that the battle results have been remarkable, but the incidence of drug-related cases has skyrocketed; After receiving the anonymous alarm, the anti-drug brigade rushed to the pharmacy to investigate but pounced. The owner of the pharmacy has a lot to do with Lin Dezan.
But if you think the inner ghost is exposed, then underestimate the screenwriter.
Although Lin Dezan does seem to have a problem, and has been suspected by his leaders and colleagues, his defense has pushed the seemingly clear situation into an unpredictable situation.
At the same time, Wu Zhenfeng (Chen Xiao), who appeared at the scene of the crime twice and left behind a jade pendant, is not as simple as he looks.
The narrative of "Ice, Rain and Fire" seems to be flat and straightforward, but it hides the foreshadowing in the words and deeds of the characters. At first glance, it looks simple and clear, but in fact it is foggy.
What you see may not be true; What you guess is not necessarily right.
2, "double male" setting, Chen Xiao let people not recognize, Wang Yibo this time is not bad
"Icebreaker Action" is Huang Jingyu's Li Fei "single-handed", and "Ice Rain and Fire" is Chen Xiao and Wang Yibo's "double burden".
Chen Xiao, who debuted in "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire", because he has a beautiful and handsome face, he mostly circles in various idol dramas. Although the appearance is outstanding and the acting skills are good, it always makes people feel that they are still a little far from "professional".
And Chen Xiao in "Ice, Rain and Fire", from the appearance to the performance, is eye-catching.
When Wu Zhenfeng, played by him, appeared on the scene, his beard was pulled, his hair was messy, and his eyebrows were almost covered. The look that came out from between the hair slits was tired and lonely, but with a bit of fierceness.
It's like a lone wolf who has experienced countless fights and escaped from the brink of death again and again.
When walking in the crowds of people on the street, it is also a very unsafe gesture. Shoulder to shoulder, every inch of the body is full of vigilance, as if ready to fight back and escape at any time.
Even when looking at people, the eyes and body are not on the same line.
Wu Zhenfeng in the memory clip is another state. The hatred in his eyes is clear, and the words in his heart are blunt and fast, like a fast knife that is angry because of hatred, and the emotions are warm and sharp.
The contrast between the two states hides his three-year encounter. What kind of fierce dangers are you in to become a completely different person?
Wang Yibo, who was originally the most worried, also performed well this time.
In the past, Wang Yibo acted, and he was always spat at with no expression and no god in his eyes. This time, the expression on his face was more, and there was a drama in his eyes.
In the scene of the restaurant murder, the meticulousness and seriousness of the inspection of the scene, the quick judgment when finding clues, the careful thinking when actively performing in front of the leader, and the moment after being exposed.
At the case analysis meeting, when the tattoos on the deceased's body in the photo were found, he hesitated several times before he made up his mind to report, and the original flickering eyes became firm.
Although Compared with the old drama bones in the same frame, Wang Yibo's performance is still "tight", but it is obviously better than before. And in the current few scenes, this tightness is more in line with the situation and mentality of the characters.
3. Young people lead the way, and many powerful people escort
In the word of mouth won by "Icebreaker Action", the powerful old actors in the play have made great contributions.
This time, the director still invited a number of powerful factions to help support the field.
The first, Wang Jinsong.
Not to mention Wang Jinsong's past representative role, Lin Yaodong in "Icebreaker Action" alone has allowed the audience to see his superb acting skills.
This time, Lin Dezan, the appearance of the atmosphere, a look, let the audience feel the sense of oppression. After showing the "strong", the character's weakness is presented.
In front of his superiors and colleagues, Lin Dezan after lowering his posture gave people a sense of forbearance in carrying a heavy load.
Between the strong and the weak, the level and depth of this character come out.
Second place, Aidon.
Ai Dong, who has been debuting for more than 20 years, has many works, and chen Guangrong, who played him in "Icebreaker Action", is impressive. This time, "changing evil and returning to righteousness" became Liu Kaihua, with a deep look in his eyes and awe-inspiring righteousness.
The third, Liu Yijun.
If you ask who can play the supporting roles as the brilliance of the protagonist, then Liu Yijun is definitely one of them. The villain is brilliant, decent and elegant, and he can control any kind of thing.
Fourth place, Zhang Zhijian.
After changing from Gao Yuliang in "The Name of the People" to Chen Liwen, Zhang Zhijian's performance still belongs to the level of grabbing the camera. Especially the opponent play with Wang Jinsong, every expression and every look is a point of view.
In addition to these drama-level strength factions, "Uncle Hui" Gonglei, "Lin Shuibo" Qian Bo, "Lin Can" Song Shaohuan, who has participated in "Icebreaker Action", also cooperated with the director again.
In addition, there are Feng Jiayi, Guo Xiaoting, Wang Xiuzhu, and Zhao Zhaoyi, who plays the Sasa Shuang policewoman Lan Anran...
As a drama broadcast on the network platform, "Ice Rain and Fire" in addition to the story has a look, the actors are reliable, the camera is also full of praise.
The panorama is magnificent and atmospheric, the mid-scene composition is brilliant, and the very simple scene also pays attention to the treatment of light and shadow. Coupled with the real wrinkles and acne on the actor's face, it is really full of texture.
It's no exaggeration to say it's like a movie.
As long as the follow-up plot does not collapse, the reputation and popularity of "Ice Rain and Fire" to continue "Icebreaker Action" is by no means a problem.
