The audience's long-awaited anti-black drama "Crazy" is really going to be broadcast this time! It has been officially announced for January 14th! Premiered on CCTV's eight sets of prime time!
"Crazy" is a chronicle of the rise of criminal and evil forces, but also a memoir of the resolute struggle against gang crime and evil, spanning 21 years of anti-gang crime and eliminating evil, showing the black-and-white contest and complex human nature under the changes of the times.
After the official announcement of the show's finalization, director Xu Jizhou personally left a message on the official micro-account of "Crazy", saying that "relying on too many people's protection and love for "Crazy", he has come to this day", and said between words the difficulties and sadness in the filming and final broadcast of the show.
"Crazy" started filming on October 8, 2021, and was officially completed on January 24, 2022.
From finishing to finalization, it took almost a whole year!
Fortunately, everyone has been looking forward to it for so long, the show did not let us wait in vain, not only was it set at the beginning of 2023, but it was not simply an online drama, but it premiered on CCTV8!
Anti-black dramas have always been a genre of film and television dramas that ordinary people like to see.
Because in the anti-gang drama, there are not only fog and suspense, but also the depiction and criticism of the underworld and evil forces, and the persistence and firmness of the anti-gang and evil eradicators in punishing evil and promoting good, as well as the entanglement of love and reason, the struggle of conscience and greed, the entanglement of interpersonal relationships, grudges and hatreds, and the open and secret struggle between the two factions of good and evil, and the contest of life and death.
It can be said that sweeping black dramas, as long as the plot is not too crotch-pulling, can be hot.
The anti-black drama "Punishment" broadcast in 2022, the plot at the beginning successfully caught the audience's attention, and the suspense was set well, although the final high and low walked, the plot was weak, it was a bad end, but the ratings were still very high.
And the TV series "Crazy", whether it is from the twists and turns of the plot, as well as the strength of the cast, and even the endorsement of the director's strength, can be described as a strong combination, immortal fights, much higher than the lineup of "Punishment".
Therefore, I have full confidence and expectations for this anti-black drama "Crazy", which will only be broadcast tomorrow night.
First of all, the plot of "Crazy" is powerful, filling the audience's expectations.
Let's briefly describe the story synopsis of "Crazy": The young criminal policeman An Xin (played by Zhang Yi), since 2000, met the bullied fishmonger Gao Qiqiang (played by Zhang Songwen), and then Gao Qiqiang successfully completed the triple jump with extraordinary means within a year, and became a representative of some kind of underworld forces in Jinghai City.
As a result, An Xin and Gao Qiqiang parted ways, and began a 21-year battle between good and evil with Gao Qiqiang, as well as the underworld forces and protective umbrella behind him.
From 2000, to 2006, and then to 2021, three important time nodes and 21 years of unapologetic follow-up investigation, An Xin changed from a flourishing young criminal police officer to a gray-haired middle-aged criminal police officer who suffered a lot.
But although An Xin's hair is white, his original intention of sweeping away black and eliminating evil and returning a clear sky in Jinghai City has never hesitated and changed.
Many stories in the play are based on real social events and livelihood issues, integrated into the mode of crime dramas, adding elements of reasoning and suspense, making the story more ups and downs, tense and attractive.
According to reports, in order to pursue the realism of details and reflect the sense of age, "Crazy" used 6,500 costumes alone, more than 600 cast members, more than 10,000 group performances, more than 100 filming locations, and a setting area of more than 80,000 square meters.
Secondly, the cast of "Crazy" is too strong!
The play is starring Zhang Yi, Zhang Songwen, Zhang Zhijian, Wu Gang, Li Yitong, Ni Dahong, Han Tongsheng, Li Jianyi, Shi Zhaoqi four old drama bones co-starring, Li Jian, Gao Ye, Wang Xiao starring, Wu Jian, Hao Ping, Jia Bing, Lin Jiachuan, Shu Yaoxuan, Shen Danping, Zhao Da, Yue Xiuqing, Bao Dazhi and other actors starring.
In the starring cast alone, there are 5 veteran actors: Zhang Zhijian, Ni Dahong, Han Tongsheng, Li Jianyi and Shi Zhaoqi.
Zhang Zhijian has created many classic roles, such as Yan Shifan in "Daming Dynasty 1566", Dong Jianchang in "The Right Way is Vicissitudes", Gao Yuliang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in "In the Name of the People" and so on.
In 2022, Zhang Zhijian starred in many TV series. The quality of these TV series is uneven, but Zhang Zhijian, with his superb and excellent acting skills, has become the highlight of the show to attract audiences no matter which drama.
For example, Chen Liwen in the criminal investigation drama "Ice Rain and Fire", and Wang Hengzhi, a neuroscientist with a broken character in the medical emotional drama "Awakener".
Li Jianyi played the old fox Ji Changming in "In the Name of the People" vividly.
Shi Zhaoqi is good at playing tough guy roles, and decent villains are perfectly controlled.
Ni Dahong and Han Tongsheng are golden supporting roles in many TV series.
The two leading actors of the play, Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen, are even more exciting.
Actor Zhang Yi, an outstanding actor who straddles the amphibious industries of film and television. Once ran tricks for ten years, finally with his acting skills, he became famous all over the world.
In 2021, with Zhang Xianchen, the protagonist in the movie "Above the Cliff" directed by Zhang Yimou, he successfully defeated another protagonist, Zhou Yi, played by Yu Hewei, and won the Best Actor Award at the 34th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.
Zhang Songwen is also an actor who has been running for many years and only emerged after middle age.
In the urban drama "Home of the Heart" broadcast in 2022, Zhang Songwen interpreted a vulgar and affectionate house flipping rich man into a delicate and expressive performance, which touched many audiences who followed dramas.
And Wu Gang, another leading actor, is also a powerful actor loved by the audience.
He is Lu Qiaoshan in "Lurking", Secretary Dakang in "In the Name of the People", Chen Pingping in "Qing Yu Nian", or Wang Jinxi the Iron Man in the movie "Iron Man".
Watching so many drama bones play together, that scene, it's enjoyable to think about, it's exciting!
In addition to these 8 powerful starring actors, there are also 2 middle-aged actors who have been loved by the audience in recent years, which is exciting.
One is the low-key "second generation of stars" Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao, not to mention the previous roles, in 2022 alone, he has starred in many TV series, including "Our Marriage", "Crime Hunting Guide", "Fengqi Longxi", "Genius Basic Law", "Big Examination", "County Party Committee Compound", etc., and many roles have been well received.
Especially the rotten father Zhou Meiren played in "The Big Exam" was originally an unlikable role, and even a role that would be hated and despised, but through Wang Xiao's wonderful performance, he successfully played this role as the most likable character in the play.
There is also Qiao Shengli, the secretary of the party committee of Chengguan Town in "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee", which was also praised by the audience and netizens as "down-to-earth" and "real".
The other is Takahba.
Gao Ye, like Wang Xiao, belongs to gold-level supporting roles and belongs to the versatile actors who play whom.
The roles and performances of the two of them in "Crazy" are also particularly worth looking forward to.
In addition to these 10 leading actors, the supporting roles in the play are also powerful actors, such as Hao Ping, Jia Bing, Zhao Da and so on.
There is also the former "Nortel screen goddess", and the old actor Shen Danping also played a role in the play.
The old drama bone Shu Yaoxuan, who is good at negative roles, is a golden supporting role in many film and television dramas. You may not be familiar with his name, but if you talk about the character, such as the modern writer and translator Lin Shu (Lin Qinnan) in "The Age of Awakening", you may immediately remember who it is.
The actors in "Crazy" are all acting. Except - Li Yitong.
Li Yitong, who is known as "how to hold it or not popular", although she has not been popular, but this does not prevent her from playing the heroine one play after another.
Li Yitong, in my impression, it is okay to play the heroine of an idol drama, to play the role of a reality drama, especially with a group of old drama bones, it is really a sweat for her, and I really don't look very favorably on her.
But maybe with many powerful actors filming together, her acting skills have also improved and developed?
In "Crazy", Li Yitong plays a female reporter Meng Yu, who is likely to have emotional scenes with Zhang Yi.
I hope that Li Yitong's acting skills and expressiveness will not be like Huang Xi played by Jiang Shuying in "Sweeping Black Storm" and Lin Yiting in "Punishment", just like the acting skills are embarrassing.
Finally, let's talk about the broadcast platform of "Crazy".
"Crazy" will premiere on CCTV-8 night prime time on January 14, and the online exclusive broadcast platform iQiyi.
"As of" Now, the number of reservations for "Crazy" on iQiyi has exceeded 2.051 million, which shows how much everyone expects the show.
In addition to "Crazy", another high-profile sci-fi drama "The Three-Body Problem" has also been scheduled for January 15.
Coincidentally, "The Three-Body Problem" also premiered on CCTV Eight Sets. But the broadcast time should be in subprime time.
The two opening dramas were officially announced on the same day, and the broadcast time was only one day away, which sent the audience a gourmet feast at the spiritual and cultural level, which is really powerful!
So, these two big dramas, "Crazy" and "Three-Body Problem", which one are you more looking forward to and optimistic about?
Compared with anti-black criminal investigation dramas, science fiction dramas are a relatively niche genre drama.
If it were not for the heavyweight popularity of Liu Cixin and "The Three-Body Problem", "The Three-Body Problem" would not have received so much attention and expectations.
In terms of broadcast time and the breadth of the audience, Dewdrop estimates that the ratings of "Crazy" should be higher than that of "The Three-Body Problem".
However, both dramas are worth looking forward to, so let's catch up with the two dramas together!
First chase "Crazy", then chase "Three-Body Problem"!
