In the current Chinese drama market, which theme is the most likely to explode?
The answer is obvious: criminal investigation drama.
Just one "Crazy" stood out among the popular costume dramas, sci-fi dramas, and women's dramas, breaking a number of popularity records in a row and achieving a phenomenal hit.
After that, Zhang Yi's other "Who is He" Although the reputation was weak in the later stage, it also caused a lot of discussion in the early stage because of the setting of the corpse crushing case and the serial murder case.
Not to mention that Chen Xiao and Chen Jianbin starred in "Thirteen Years of Dust", the Douban score was as high as 8.1 points, and the reputation exploded.
Criminal investigation dramas can become the current "traffic password", on the one hand, because the content is full of tension, the suspense foreshadowing satisfies the audience's appetite, on the other hand, the excellent cast shapes the characters clearly and deeply analyzes the good and evil of human nature.
How can such a work that combines drama and subject matter depth not be attractive? Among the dramas to be broadcast, there are also "I Am a Criminal Policeman" starring Yu Hewei and "South to North" starring Bai Jingting, which has attracted much attention.
However, at present, a new criminal investigation drama is the first to strike, "Undercover Police Flower" is scheduled to land on Beijing Satellite TV tomorrow night, and Mango TV will be broadcast simultaneously.
The play was actually completed as early as 2018, and it has been backlogged for nearly 5 years, and this time it can finally be successfully lifted, which has made many audiences can't wait to chase the drama.
Look at the lineup, directed by Gao Yalin, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Zhijian, Tian Xiaojie and other drama bones sat down, and the arrangement was appropriate.
After reading the trailer, I can only describe it in two words: "hardcore". The plot is hardcore, the acting is hardcore.
It seems that this criminal investigation drama is expected to catch up with the results of "Crazy", and see how this "undercover police flower" makes the criminal investigation drama play new tricks?
Adapted from real events, interpreting undercover from a female perspective
"Undercover Police Flower" tells the story of Xia Hairong (played by Zou Yuanqing), who first joined the police force, was not afraid of danger in the face of high-risk anti-drug work, won the favor of his superiors with his outstanding ability, entered the drug trafficking group as an undercover agent, experienced countless life and death tests, and finally killed the criminals.
Due to the fire of criminal investigation themes, the "criminal investigation +" mode is also becoming more and more popular, and criminal investigation + anti-gang, criminal investigation + suspense all have their own highlights.
Of course, we must not forget such a highly cautionary drama as "criminal investigation + anti-drugs".
It's just that popular criminal investigation and anti-drug dramas such as "Ice Rain and Fire" and "Icebreaking Action" have a characteristic, that is, the plot is unfolded from a male perspective, and it is inevitable to see too much aesthetic fatigue.
And this "Undercover Police Flower" is eye-catching just the title of the play, it is obvious that from a female perspective as the starting point, the main play is no longer on the male police officer, but on the undercover road of our police flower, is it hard enough?
What's more hardcore is that this drama is adapted from a real case, a female police officer bravely broke into the drug den, facing far more danger than ordinary people imagined, how will she fight wits with the enemy?
Whether it is a literary drama or a play, such a plot setting can obviously firmly capture the audience's attention.
It's just that no matter how good the script is, it also needs the control of the director, and criminal investigation dramas pay more attention to rhythm and logic, and it is not easy to shoot wonderfully.
Gao Yalin, the director of "Undercover Police Flower" this time, must be no stranger to the audience.
However, everyone is more familiar with his actor identity, such as the role of Xia Donghai in "Family with Children" was played by him deeply in the hearts of the people.
And can an actor grasp such a criminal investigation drama? Won't it ruin the script?
Don't rush to sing the decline, Gao Yalin actually participated in the creation of TV series a long time ago.
The acclaimed and acclaimed drama "In the Name of the People" was produced by him as the chief producer and producer, which once set the best ratings record for domestic TV series in China in 10 years.
I believe that with Gao Yalin's unique vision, he can once again hold the ratings with "Undercover Police Flower".
All the old drama bones, the lineup is too strong
If a criminal investigation drama wants to gain word of mouth, actors are naturally an important point that cannot be ignored, and "Undercover Police Flower" probably called half of the drama bones in the entertainment industry this time, and one can act better than the other.
The first Zhang Fengyi
As a national first-class actor, Zhang Fengyi has countless classic masterpieces, and even won the honor of the Flying Sky Award "Emperor of Sight" with a "Sky of History".
The role he has created over the years is also impressive, in "In the Name of the People" he is Sha Ruijin, secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, and in "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" he becomes Marshal Xu Da.
Zhang Fengyi's performance can be described in four words, and the magnetic acoustic lines are also a "killer app".
Being able to invite him to sit in this "Undercover Police Flower" shows that the sincerity of the drama party is full and the acting quality is guaranteed.
The second place: Zhang Zhijian
Zhang Zhijian has now become a "golden signboard", and he has appeared in major dramas such as "Crazy", "The Bottom Line", "Ice Rain and Fire", especially playing the role of the police type.
In "Infernal", the old drama bone also challenged a role "flash official" who is both good and evil, which brought the audience a big surprise.
He can play the character without anger and self-esteem, but not high, holding a shelf, the strength can be seen.
So seeing Zhang Zhijian's name completely dispelled my original concerns about Sancheng, it's a pity that this drama doesn't chase.
The third Wang Haiyan
When it comes to Wang Haiyan, I believe that the first thing that comes to mind is her identity as the wife of Zhang Jiayi.
But don't forget that Wang Haiyan herself is also an acting master who does not lose to her husband.
In 2002, she won the Golden Eagle Award and the Flying Sky Award "Double Vision" for playing the role of Lan Meiqin in the TV series "Oath Silent".
After that, he also starred in "Golden Wedding", "National Image", "Loess High Sky" and other well-known classic Chinese dramas.
It's a pity that Wang Haiyan has not often appeared in the public eye in recent years, and the last highly acclaimed role was the villain Zheng Shuangxue in "Circuit Inspection Group".
Good actors should not be buried, presumably this time Wang Haiyan can tear off the label of "Mrs. Zhang Jiayi" with the new drama and use her own name to get out of the circle.
In addition, this drama also has Shi Zhaoqi, who partnered with Zhang Zhijian in "Crazy", and Huang Junpeng, who played Chen Hai in "In the Name of the People".
The opera bones Tian Xiaojie and Zhang Xilin, national first-class actors Xu Wenguang and Bai Zhidi will also join, and the supporting cast can be described as amazingly powerful.
The only thing that worries people is the starring role, the heroine Zou Yuanqing, as Yan Ni's daughter, has always had good resources, but her performance is average, and she has not inherited Yan Ni's acting talent, I only hope that this time under the leadership of the old drama bones can live up to the audience.
Another male protagonist, Ru Nuo, often appears in small roles, but in "Sending Spring Back in the Storm" and "Circuit Inspection Group", he can play with Wang Zhiwen, Yu Hewei and others, and his acting skills are still remarkable.
All in all, the drama "Undercover Police Flower" has a moderate amount of 35 collectives, and the painting style may be a little outdated after 5 years of backlog, but the overall plot is rich in highlights, the cast is good, and it is worth watching, so are you looking forward to the broadcast of this drama?
