I guess a lot of people already know that.
Another annual blockbuster suspense drama is about to start!
"The Long Season" starring Fan Wei and Qin Hao. April 22nd, which is today! Will be broadcast on Tencent Video.
I know what you're trying to say!
Blockbuster? Also annual?
Looking at the title of this play, it doesn't look like a suspense drama!
Qin Hao is no problem, Fan Wei? Will it be a play?
This year, the explosive model is so worthless?
"Crazy" is a hit! "Who Is He" is a hit!
In 2023, can this drama be compared to these two dramas?
Eh, don't panic! Empty words!
Is it a hit? Is it worth looking forward to?
After listening to me, everyone will have a number in their hearts!
1: What are you talking about?
"Look ahead, don't look back"
"How long this autumn is, it's like a lifetime"
"Didn't we say okay, do it all over again?"
These 3 lines of dialogue are the 3 lines in the trailer of "The Long Season", and I have watched several versions of the trailer, combined with the plot introduction of the show. I think that these 3 dialogues can accurately summarize the core idea that this show wants to express.
Birch Forest is a small city filled with fireworks, and Wang Xiang (Fan Wei) is a taxi driver. As he grew older, he was no longer able to rent out. One day, he went to work normally to pick up passengers, but he never dreamed that he met the person he once wanted to meet the most, but he was most afraid of encountering.
What I want to encounter the most is because the old things from many years ago have always haunted my heart, difficult to dissolve, like a stone, weighing heavily on my chest. He longs to find out the truth, to gain liberation, to gain inner peace.
The last thing he wants to encounter is that he knows clearly in his heart that as soon as this person comes out, his life is destined to change again. Conscience and sense of responsibility make me feel that I must give an explanation to myself, and I have to give an explanation to my son.
In the memory, a package of unidentified broken corpses smashed on the water surface of Hua City, which also changed Wang Xiang's life. Gong Biao (played by Qin Hao) and retired policeman Ma Desheng (played by Chen Minghao) are friends of Wang Xiang! At the same time, they are also deeply involved in those old cases 20 years ago.
At that time, Wang Xiang was a train driver, with a good mood on the surface, but his family was full of chicken feathers. The wheels of the times passed, and one unsolved case caused one chain reaction after another. That old case, in those days, was a difficult puzzle that changed the fate of several families completely.
In the trailer of "The Long Season", we can see hysterical cries, desperate and helpless pleas for help. There are enviable faces of youth, and there are heart-wrenching violations. Also, the truth that disappeared into the furnace of steel, scarlet and dazzling.
The trailer for "The Long Season" doesn't have much information, but it's full of suspense. How will the three old friends who are already dying face sudden changes, and can they redeem themselves? At the same time, what is the confusing truth? It's really curious.
2: Who is in the lineup?
The main actors of "The Long Season" include Fan Wei, Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Li Gengxi, Liu Yitie, Jiang Qiming, Liu Lin, Shi Pengyuan, Hou Yansong, Lin Xiaojie, Wang Jiajia, Yang Yiwei, Tang Zeng, Zhang Fan and nearly 14 well-known actors joined.
This cast, from the protagonist to the supporting role, without exception, is a real drama powerhouse. There are no traffic stars, no idol actors, and the lineup is solid and strong. Among this group of actors, the performance of 5 actors is worth looking forward to!
Mention domestic suspense dramas.
There is a drama that has to be mentioned, that is, "Hidden Corner" directed by Xin Shuang.
This drama, on Douban, has nearly 1.07 million netizens rating, giving a score of 8.8. Although compared with some top domestic dramas, the score is not the highest. But in domestic suspense dramas, it is already a good score.
Moreover, the significance of the drama "Hidden Corner" to the audience is not limited to the fact that it is a domestic suspense drama. But it is that together with "The Silent Truth", it has opened the trend of domestic suspense dramas "involution", which has sharply increased the attention of suspense drama themes, approaching American dramas and Korean dramas.
The reason why "Hidden Corner" can achieve such achievements is inseparable from the efforts of the actors, and the excellent novel script of the original Zijin Chen. At the same time, it is also inseparable from the director of this drama, Xin Shuang's excellent water directing.
This time, Xin Shuang directed the suspense drama again, coming with "The Long Season", looking forward to him surprising the audience again.
The director is excellent, and the actors are not ambiguous.
3: Fan Wei
Speaking of Fan Wei, he is also an old acquaintance of everyone.
No matter what age you are, you have seen Fan Wei's works to a greater or lesser extent. Older ones may watch more Fan Wei's sketches. Younger audiences may have seen many movies starring Fan Wei.
Today's Fan Wei is basically no longer acting in sketches, but has been active in major film and television dramas all year round. Over the years, he has long thrown off the label of sketch actor and become a real film and television actor, and his acting skills have become more and more sophisticated, becoming a real drama powerhouse.
Far from it, just talking about Fan Wei's recent film and television work, everyone can see his acting strength. In the suspense drama "Ligong Northeast Old Things", he played a security guard of a bottle warmer factory. In the small town, in the face of various coincidental challenges from outsiders, he did not flinch, and with strong perseverance, he finally defeated evil and became a hero.
In the shaping of this character, Fan Wei found a balance between funny and suspense, with seriousness in humor, and wisdom in seriousness. The character image created is three-dimensional and very expressive. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why "Ligong - Old Things in the Northeast" can gain a high reputation from the audience is all supported by Fan Wei's own efforts.
This time, Fan Wei participated in the suspense drama again and played the protagonist, I personally look forward to his performance, I hope not to disappoint everyone.
4: Qin Hao
Qin Hao, Qin Hao again.
In "Hidden Corner", he is one of the leading actors. At that time, this drama was able to get out of the circle, which was not unrelated to Qin Hao's excellent performance. In particular, at the beginning of the TV series, the shot of Zhang Dongsheng, played by him, pushing his father-in-law and mother-in-law off the cliff in the scenic area directly shocked the audience.
At that time, when chasing "Hidden Corner", I was deeply impressed by the popularity trend of this drama. Zhang Dongsheng's ruthless operation attracted enough attention for this drama at the beginning of the series. It can be said that "Hidden Corner" was able to quickly become popular at that time, and Qin Hao's interpretation of the god was indispensable.
Since "Hidden Corner", Qin Hao has successively participated in domestic film and television dramas such as "Wolf Hunter", as well as "Dear Child" and "The Great Game". In these works, Qin Hao has excellent performances, and his personal career is at the peak.
In other words, in "Hidden Corner", Qin Hao self-destructed his image and played a bald middle school teacher, which attracted heated discussions among countless audiences. This time, in the trailer, it seems that he played a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly, and that face is like a bun. It seems that Qin Hao has once again opened up.
This time, Qin Hao participated in the suspense drama again, or cooperated with his old partner Xin Shuang. The same theme, and old acquaintances get together, there is no need to worry about tacit understanding. This time, I expect Qin Hao to continue to contribute highlights to everyone, and look forward to him coming out of the circle again.
5: Chen Minghao
When I mention Chen Minghao, I have always called him Fatty Chen, and his acting feels very close, like an old friend who has known him for many years. Although Chen Minghao is slightly fat, there is always a sense of wit between his eyebrows, and his acting is very spiritual.
I've seen many of his works, including his "Reboot" with Zhu Yilong and his "Ideal City" with Sun Li. No matter which work it is, the role played by Chen Minghao is always eye-catching. Moreover, although he has played a supporting role for many years and has not many scenes, he can always steal the glory of the protagonist with his excellent acting skills.
For example, in "Ideal City", he plays the boss of a construction company, hanging his children all day, eating and drinking, and conveying his spirit and image. In the face of Sun Li and Yu Hewei, as well as Zhao Youting and many other powerful people, Chen Minghao is still at ease and has played a supporting role in a circle, winning the applause of countless audiences.
In "The Long Season", Chen Minghao plays a small policeman. When he was young, he was handsome, but when he was old, he was dressed like a rich businessman and overseas Chinese, full of foreign spirit. If I hadn't identified it carefully, I would have almost not recognized it.
I personally look forward to Chen Minghao's performance in "The Long Season" and hope that he can live up to his expectations.
6: Liu Lin
Liu Lin's masterpiece is "Parental Love", and audiences who have not seen this drama may scoff at it. But as long as you've watched an episode or two, you'll be hooked. The editor has watched many domestic family dramas, and "Parental Love" is the only domestic drama that I think is suitable for all ages and is worth watching repeatedly as a family.
In this drama, although Liu Lin is a supporting role, she still can't cover her brilliance. The Dehua she portrayed, expressive and down-to-earth, can be said to be one of the most charismatic characters in the play.
In "Parental Love", the scene that impressed me the most about Liu Lin was the scene where she played Dehua and Wang Xiu'e, delivering An Jie late at night. In this scene, the two people chattered, and the "midwifery" task was completed in a blur, which was very dramatic. The performances of Liu Lin and Tianchi are more than one and more memorable.
With her excellent performance in "Parental Love", Liu Lin has been popular all over the country.
Of course, for those who have seen "Hidden Corner", Liu Lin, like Qin Hao, is also an old acquaintance. In the play, Liu Lin plays Zhu Chaoyang's mother, Zhu Chunhong, who is also an important supporting role and one of the main promoters of the plot and drama conflict.
Liu Lin's three-dimensional and expressive Zhou Chunhong adds a different and real look to the drama through his delicate acting skills.
This time, he participated in "The Long Season" and cooperated with Qin Hao again in a suspense drama, looking forward to Liu Lin continuing to provide wonderful performances for everyone.
7: Tang Zeng
When it comes to Tang Zeng, the first impression in everyone's minds should be an honest and restrained image. Because, Tang has participated in period dramas for many years, often plays a simple peasant, and the interpretation of the god has left a deep impression in everyone's mind.
In 2022, in the domestic drama "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", Tang Zeng played a farmer Wang Qinglai, and Zhao Liying's happiness is a couple. Wang Qinglai's restrained image makes the audience love and hate.
And in 2023, Tang Zeng appeared in the period drama "The Road of Life". Likewise, he plays a farmer. However, unlike Wang Qinglai, this time he played the horse bolt, his brain is very flexible, after failing the college entrance examination, there is no decadence, and the business is also booming.
Let's not talk about the quality of the drama "The Road of Life", Tang Zeng played the horse bolt, which is definitely the highlight of the whole drama.
However, though, though! Surprisingly, this time, in "The Long Season", Don Zeng did not play a farmer. According to the trailer, this time he played a people's policeman. How's that, unexpected, right? Looking forward to it?
No blowing or black, as soon as Tang Zeng's appearance came out, the first thought that came to my mind was actually a security guard. It took a long day to react before it became clear that he was playing a policeman. Tang once participated in "The Long Season", his personal acting skills do not worry, I only hope that he plays a policeman and does not give everyone the impression of a play.
8: Say more
In 2023, there will be many newly launched domestic suspense dramas. Such as Zhang Yi, Zhang Songwen "Crazy", Zhang Yi, Ding Yongdai "Who is He", Song Jia, Bao Bell "Echo", Chen Jianbin, Chen Xiao "Thirteen Years of Dust" and so on. These suspense dramas, the editor has seen them.
At present, the spy war suspense drama Jin Dong "Infernal" is on the air, reverse, reverse, and then reverse, infinite spy in spy! Overall, it's quite suspenseful. Many friends called it out when they saw it, and they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the screenwriter.
Not blowing or black, the quality of suspense dramas in 2023 is much better than the average quality in 2022. Among them, especially the two films "Crazy" and "Thirteen Years of Dust", they are the best of them, which is impressive.
For this "Long Season", I don't expect this show to surpass "Hidden Corners". But I dare to assert that the quality of this drama should stand the test and have the potential to become a popular drama in 2023, everyone will wait and see!
