After various platforms and satellite TV announced their TV series that will meet you during the Spring Festival holiday, the slow CCTV eight sets have finally been official, and from February 6th, the TV series "South to North" has landed in the golden strong file, and it has become the work of CCTV eight sets to compete in this year's Spring Festival.
The play is starring Bai Jingting, Ding Yongdai, Jin Chen, etc., and it is reported that the script is an original work written by Gao Mantang for three years. tells the story of two generations of first-line railway public security officers spanning 40 years of police stories, including Ma Kui, a veteran criminal policeman, and Wang Xin, a young policeman.
During the Spring Festival holiday last year, the drama "Hurricane" launched by CCTV 8 undoubtedly became the drama king of the year, and it can even be said that it has been the drama king in the past five years. Then, during this year's Spring Festival holiday, choosing to arrange "South to North" to meet with everyone is also an attempt to benchmark "Hurricane", reproduce the core elements of the other party, create the 2024 drama king, and win the jackpot at the beginning of the year.
The change of time has become a magic weapon
The special highlight of "Hurricane" is that the time nodes correspond to three eras, and it shows you the changes in Chinese society in the past 30 years in the form of dots and lines. Countless viewers are lamenting the changes in Gao Qiqiang in the three time nodes, which is indeed a true portrayal.
Coincidentally, "The Long Season", another drama with the best reputation in 2023, also shows the changes of the times. It seems that unconsciously, the change of the times has become a winning weapon for today's dramas.
"South to North" is also based on this starting point, and on top of the macro chronological changes, "South to North" focuses on the changes of the railway at the micro level.
For example, when the post-90s generation was born, they still took the green train, and after the post-90s generation had children, the children did not know what it was to eat instant noodles on the train when they went out. This change alone is enough to talk about it for a long time. What's more, on this railway, all kinds of occupations that were once born have died out because of changes.
For example, the former railway chefs are all first-class chefs, and you can order four dishes and one soup when you eat on the railway, and enjoy the taste comparable to a big restaurant. These stories obviously happened yesterday, but for people, it seems like a world away. Many people still miss that era, so they have a record of film and television dramas.
This has invisibly made film and television dramas that show the changes of the times become popular at the moment. Moreover, the show stacks two buffs, focusing exclusively on the railroad people, which makes its highlights more accurate and unique, and will naturally inspire more viewers who want to watch him.
Cast ceremony out of the door
If you want to become the king of dramas during the Spring Festival, the threshold is relatively high, and you must let the whole family, men, women and children watch a channel together willingly without changing the remote control. Therefore, at least the most basic threshold is to let the whole family not feel that the actors in it are annoying or unfamiliar when watching this drama.
In other words, the cast of a drama has become the threshold of the foundation. Even if it is a cameo, the powerful actors must be complete. It is necessary to have both an unpopular treasure actor and a person with a high degree of nationality, and everyone feels very familiar with it at first sight.
On the cast: Bai Jingting, Ding Yongdai, Jin Chen, Liu Guanlin, Wang Jinsong, Liu Jun, Ni Dahong, Li Naiwen, Li Qinqin. is indeed a familiar face, the filmmaker regards this as a major attraction of this show, and is not modest at all, and uses it everywhere to publicize, saying that their lineup is too wow.
Naturally, these actors are not willing to act in this drama together for no reason, and they don't look at who the production team behind the scenes is. One is Zheng Xiaolong, and the other is Gao Mantang.
Zheng Xiaolong's words are too familiar to Internet netizens. Now people all over the Internet rely on his "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to live. Don't do anything, director Zheng Xiaolong can be on the last hot search, and everyone has already made "The Legend of Zhen Huan" out of the past ten years. Even if the birth of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is due to a certain degree of chance that the time and place are favorable, Zheng Xiaolong himself may not be able to reach this level in his life, but the level is there, even if it is average, he can pass. Gao Mantang may not be very familiar in the world of the Internet, but everyone has seen "Crossing the East", this is from Gao Mantang's handwriting. and "Pearl River People", which everyone seemed to hate the most disliked Yang Shuo and Zhang Han, the two oil kings, together two days ago, broke through the ratings of 3 on CCTV, and he also handled it. Gao Mantang's foothold on this realistic subject matter has always been his comfort zone. It is said that he took root at the grassroots level for several years and collected a large number of folk materials. With these two people here, it's no wonder that so many good actors can be put together.
Interspersed with suspense, it is also necessary to get a potential audience
Since the two male protagonists are police officers of the Ministry of Railways, it is inevitable that there will be a little bit of a suspense detective story, and this main suspense detective case is not the suspicious, bloody and violent complex and complex and difficult to solve as everyone imagines, it is just an ordinary pickpocket. The peculiarity is that there were only petty thefts on the railroad back then. In fact, it is often in real life that some wonderful crime-solving stories make it easier for people to talk about it.
The purpose of this is also to get a part of the potential male audience. Combined with Ding Yongdai's face, at that time, he led "Crossing the Yalu River" to break through the ratings of 3, and it is not difficult to ensure that it will create brilliance today.
