The national drama in 2023 is destined to be extraordinary.
Since the beginning of the year, there have been 3 Chinese drama works with more than 8 points on Douban, namely "Go to a Windy Place", "Three-Body Problem" and "Crazy Racing", the highest number of evaluations of these works is 720,000, and the lowest is 240,000.
It can be said that these works have opened up a new situation for cure, science fiction, and crime dramas.
In particular, the explosive effect brought by "Crazy" has not faded to this day.
Many people believe that the outstanding performance of "Crazy" is bound to become an irreplaceable darling in the hearts of this year's audience, and the "2023 drama king" is none other than it.
Others believe that if they have seen this show, there may be completely different results.
Tonight, a 24-episode drama "Who Is He" CCTV (8 sets) will be broadcast, with 4 powerful people sitting in town, and the 3 major highlights have the potential to explode.
01. What story was told
In 1988, when criminal guard Wei Guoping was tracking down a serial murder case, he saw with his own eyes that his comrades-in-arms sacrificed and left a knot, and later although he tried hard to track it down, he did not catch the real murderer.
Years later, Wei Guoping was no longer a newcomer, and at this time, many vicious cases occurred in Ningjiang City.
Among them are "throat cut case", "SUI corpse case", "sexual assault homicide case" and so on.
As Wei Guoping's investigation of these vicious cases discovered, these cases were greatly related to the case when his comrades died.
In addition, the links behind the old and new cases seem to have unspeakable links to local criminal groups.
So whether it is a pathological murder demon or the manipulation of a criminal group, the truth can only be revealed after it is broadcast.
Although we can't know the specific story content, through some short introductions, we can understand that the entire drama of "Who Is He" at least covers vicious cases, serial cases, cases within cases, criminal groups and other content.
The elements involved in the play are casually taken out of a genre that the audience likes to see.
02, 4 powerful people sit
The first one, Zhang Yi.
If you want to label Zhang Yi, it must be an exciting thing, such as actor, TV emperor, acting school and so on.
Each label evokes a certain association with his work.
For example, his electrocution performance in "Above the Cliff", the extremely tense performance is worthy of the title of "actor".
When playing the stoic and restrained An Xin in "Crazy", he let the audience feel Zhang Yi's control over the character.
Zhang Yi's body can always make the audience see surprise, amazement or surprise.
This time, he played the role of criminal police captain Wei Guoping in "Who Is He".
Although he played a criminal policeman, this criminal police officer is not another criminal policeman, and the two characters have completely different personalities.
When An Xin, played in the previous drama, served as a criminal policeman, his daily hippie smiling face seemed very relaxed and energetic, and Wei Guoping in the play became unsmiling because he witnessed the sacrifice of his comrades.
I believe that Zhang Yi can still bring a new role to the audience this time.
The second place, Ding Yongdai.
Although Ding Yongdai plays a bandit, an emperor, and a father very well, I think he plays the most correct leader.
If you really can't remember, I'll give you two examples.
In 2022's "Showdown", Liu Jianjun, played by Ding Yongdai, is the big leader of the local public security system.
Although the character ends up breaking discipline, he plays a hated character in flesh and blood, and even the audience will be incredulous when they see his betrayal of the organization.
In the same year, he made a cameo appearance as a provincial leader in "Punishment", and did not appear much, and he could feel a very strong sense of oppression through his speech and behavior.
A good actor does not lie in the number of scenes, even if it is only 3 minutes of play, he has the ability to make the audience remember the role.
This time, he played Gu Weidong in the play, which is the leader of Wei Guoping, and it makes people feel grounded with him.
Third place, Van Ray.
Fan Lei, an actor, many people may not remember at first glance which one it is.
However, if you know that he is a "national first-class actor" and has played Lao Ma in "Soldier Assault" and Ma Dazhi in "My Regiment Commander My Regiment", you will know that he is definitely a powerful actor.
In fact, if these dramas feel too long, then Yu Jianguo, who played Yu Jianguo in "Thank You Doctor", must have left a deep impression on many people.
The characters created by Fan Lei, whether they are military tough guys or ordinary people, although his appearance is rough, but his performance is layered.
He played Liu Shunkui in "Who Is He", this is the 4th time that Fan Lei and Zhang Yi have cooperated, not only the acting skills are expected, but the cooperation between the two is also quite eye-catching.
The fourth place, Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang played the villain Nie Baohua in this drama, I just want to say: "Long gone, villain Zhao Yang!" ”
Last year, Zhao Yang's role as Cao Jianjun in "Police Honor" was very interesting, but the villain he played should not be forgotten.
Because the villain he plays will be terrifying.
For example, Chen Jinfa, played in "Showdown", is not only Sven but also fierce, and he can always feel a chill from between his eyebrows.
In this way, I look forward to his performance in this drama even more.
In addition to the above-mentioned powerful people, there are also actors with good strength such as Liu Yustront, Yu Haoming, Liu Guanlin, Qi Kui, Shi Liang and so on.
03, suspense + thriller + true event adaptation
After learning that the show was launched, the editor went to watch the relevant trailer for the first time, and the most intuitive feeling for me was "thriller".
This thriller does not come from violence and plasma, but from the set, dubbing, light and shadow, lines and other aspects of the feeling.
For example, the opening Wei Guoping played a recording, as shown in the picture above!
I have to say that I was attracted to this opening sentence.
There are still many indescribable bloody pictures behind, and if it is not cut, I believe that this drama will also be a scale-breaking work.
In this way, who is the person who left the recording, who is the suspect in the murder, and who is he?
In addition, most of the cases used in the play are prototypes.
First of all, the story background of the play is placed in "1988", and the editor searched a circle on the Internet, and the most consistent is "the serial murder case in Silver City".
In real cases, the killers killed a total of 11 women in 14 years.
The timeline in the play also spans at least 8 to 10 years, so it is very likely that it will be adapted from this case.
Of course, there are still some cases in the play that can be found at the corresponding time, I hope you can go to the play to find it yourself.
04. Talk a little more
The play is produced by Ding Hei and directed by Bao Chengzhi, and the "Police Honor" that the two previously collaborated on has been favored by the general audience, presumably the two who cooperate for the second time can still spark.
All in all, the drama "Who Is He" contains a super-first-class lineup of domestic dramas both in front of and behind the scenes.
Although it cannot be asserted that the show will surpass "Crazy", with 4 powerful people sitting in town and 3 major highlights, it is not difficult to become a hit!
