Idle and watched a few more episodes of "Kite".
"I am a member of the Communist Party of China, appointed by the State Political Protection Bureau of the Soviet Region, and entered the Kuomintang in 1932, codenamed Kite."
When Zhou Zhiqian put on his glasses again, the caution in his eyes completely disappeared, and all that remained was the calmness and calmness left by the washing of the years.
He became Zheng Yaoxian again, but he was no longer the "Devil Six".
From the end of episode 27, the spy war drama "Kite" seems to finally get straight to the point, and only in the subsequent scenes can you deeply feel why it can get a high score of 8.8.
The evaluation and memory of the audience is the highest praise for a work.
Domestic spy war dramas have developed for more than 40 years.
In this long period of time, there are many spy classics, which are still talked about by the audience, from "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", "No Regret Tracking", to "Lurking", "Cliff" and "Kite", etc., all of which are well-known works.
But in the past two years, domestic spy war dramas have entered a trough.
"Faith" at the end of last year completely went to the routine of idol dramas.
This year's Spring Festival, but two spy war dramas - "Infernal" and "Thin Ice" were thrown out in a row, the former was mysterious and difficult to justify, and the latter was blunt and boring, making people drowsy.
So, friends who like spy war dramas, do they still have "counting" this year?
Of course, don't be discouraged.
Another spy war drama is coming - "Huan Yan".
The drama has been reviewed so far, with a total of 18 episodes, and it is confirmed that it will be broadcast exclusively on Tencent Video.
In addition, on the official account of the CCTV TV series, the show has been mentioned many times in recent days, and combined with a variety of information, "Huan Yan" will most likely be broadcast in June.
So is it one CCTV or eight CCTV?
The show has only 18 episodes, referring to "Who Is He" that was broadcast not long ago, I think "Huan Yan" will land on the evening yellow file of CCTV's eight sets (9:30).
As for what are the wonderful highlights of the play, let's analyze them one by one.
1. The cast is unprecedentedly strong
It is not an exaggeration to say that even if it is only 18 episodes in length, "Huan Yan" is almost not inferior to any spy war drama from the perspective of the cast alone.
Unbelief?
Let's see.
First, Zhang Yi (as Zhang Jiayi)
Among the middle-generation male actors in the mainland, Zhang Yi is definitely a TOP-level existence.
Whether it is a TV series or a theatrical movie, in many big productions, Zhang Yi is the existence of the male one or the male second, and his Zhang Songwen's rival scene in "Crazy" is very enjoyable to watch.
This time, he can lead the spy war drama again, and I have 120,000 expectations.
Second, Dong Zijian (as Xu Tian)
As a well-known "second generation of stars" in the circle, Dong Zijian's appearance is not outstanding among male actors, but he has gradually gained a foothold in the circle with his good eye for selecting scripts and solid acting skills.
From "Great Rivers" to "Feng Qi Longxi", and then to "Moses on the Plain", Dong Zijian's acting road has been extremely solid step by step.
Third, Zhang Luyi (as Yu Yixiu)
Over the years, Zhang Luyi has always given me a feeling - a god and a ghost.
If he is not a good actor, I disagree.
In "Red", Xu Tianhuan, played by Zhang Luyi, has countless fans, but in "Great Qin Fu", Zhang Luyi has received a lot of criticism.
Choosing a good script and the right role for yourself, an actor can play his true strength, such as Wang Miao played by Zhang Luyi in "The Three-Body Problem", which is amazing.
Fourth, Liao Fan (as Lao Sun)
As the actor of the Berlin International Film Festival, Liao Fan has not had many works in recent years, and has also put most of his energy on theatrical films.
Since "The Silent Truth", he has only one "Gold Rush" online.
In previous works, Liao Fan was often able to express very complex characters in great detail and show their core in front of the audience.
Fifth, Tong Liya (as Dao Meilan)
Like Liao Fan, Tong Liya's TV series in the past two years have not been much, and my impression of her is still stuck in last year's "Leverage", but she is not the female number one.
In a spy war drama dominated by men, most of the female characters are not "good".
Because such roles are often partners with the male protagonist, in order to highlight the male protagonist, they often give the female protagonist "artificial intelligence".
But Tong Liya's Dao Meilan in this drama is not a vase-like role, perhaps this will be another classic masterpiece of hers.
Sixth, Tian Yu (as Tao Tao)
Tian Yu, who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, gradually embarked on a road of "golden supporting role" with solid acting skills and a funny and responsible way.
Even though he rarely plays the male number one, Tian Yu has created characters that impressed the audience in popular film and television dramas such as "Charlotte Troubles" or "Qing Yu Nian".
In addition to the above 6 actors, the play also invited actors such as Wu Xiaoliang, Qiu Tian, Yang Haoyu, Su Xiaotong, Yin Fang, Ren Min, Lou Yixiao, Lian Yiming, Huang Chengcheng, Xu Juncong, Song Xi, Wang Peilu and other actors to join.
With a total of 18 powerful actors, "Huan Yan" is bound to be a drama battle.
2. Self-written and self-directed, Xu Bing's attack again
Xu Bing's father, Xu Qinna, is the inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage - Wu Opera.
Growing up in a family full of artistic atmosphere, Xu Bing naturally embarked on the road of artistic creation, and since 2000, he began his screenwriting career with the movie "The Third Line".
Xu Bing was very prolific, and his works covered many subjects.
From "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City", to "Keep Talking" and "Red", Xu Bing and many well-known directors in the circle have had in-depth cooperation.
After entering the second decade of the new century, Xu Bing completely ushered in an explosive period.
With the two dramas "Please Forgive Me" directed by Liu Huining and "Red" directed by Yang Lei, he established his status as a "gold medal writer" in his circle.
The so-called "compilation and excellent guidance", Xu Tian wants a work that is completely his own.
So in 2017, the movie "Gun" directed and written by him was released, a unique style of police and bandit film, which won a lot of praise.
At the same time, it also made a good start for Xu Bing's directorial career.
Three years later, in 2020, the TV series "New World" starring Sun Honglei, Zhang Luyi, Wan Qian and others, and directed by Xu Bing, began broadcasting.
At that time, it was a lot of expectations.
Although its opening lived up to expectations, the length of 70 episodes made the story too protracted, resulting in the suspense of "Little Red Jacket", which completely became a chicken rib.
After 3 years of precipitation, Xu Bing attacked again.
Happily, "Huan Yan", as a spy war drama, is only 18 episodes long.
At this moment, "no water injection" has basically been written on the "face" of this drama.
3. A legendary journey
There is no accident, the protagonist of this drama is still called "Xu Tian".
In 2007's "Very 24 Hours III", Xu Bing served as the screenwriter, and the name of the male protagonist in the play is Xu Tian.
Since then, in many film and television dramas including "Please Forgive Me", "Red" and "New World", the male protagonists written by Xu Bing are called Xu Tian.
Among them, Zhang Hanyu, the star of "Very 24 Hours III", became the first user of the name Xu Tian.
The reason, some people say, is because Xu Bing's son is called Xu Tian.
Not really.
In Xu Bing's own explanation, his son's name is only homonymous with Xu Tian.
Because he randomly gave a name at that time, he was too lazy to change it, so in most of his subsequent works, the names of all the male protagonists were called Xu Tian.
As a spy war drama, "Huan Yan" is very different.
It is not like the traditional spy war dramas in the past, which limits the location of the story to Shanghai, Chongqing, Nanjing, Harbin and other relatively single cities, but adopts a story structure that is almost a road movie.
Xu Tian is a young man who is only 21 years old.
Following the faith and instructions of his father's generation, he sent materials to the Communist International to support the revolution.
During this period, Xu Tian set off from Nanyang to Guangdong, and then passed all the way through Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places before finally arriving in Shanghai.
It seems to be calm, but it is actually a rough road.
Xu Tian, together with Lao Sun, Yu Yixiu, Zhang Jiayi and others, experienced countless ups and downs and setbacks, but his firm belief in the inevitable victory of the revolution became the most powerful weapon in their hearts.
I'll give a five-star reservation first.
