In the past domestic dramas, the theme of spy war is a "harvester" for ratings.
From "Secret Calculation" and "Latent" to "The Pretender" and "Kite", there is a fire and the audience never gets tired of watching it.
But after "Kite", the glory of spy war dramas began to fade, and even dramas such as "Thin Ice" and "Stalker", which had a rather gorgeous lineup, failed to hold their reputation.
It's time for CCTV to take action again.
"Wind Chaser" was on CCTV-8, only 4 episodes were broadcast, and the ratings broke 2, and the data is very eye-catching.
This time, can CCTV find a place for domestic spy war dramas?
After watching four episodes in one go, I just want to say that the revival of spy war dramas is here.
Two lines in parallel, rhythm take-off
Most of the current spy war dramas, but playing lurking is to catch spies, and the audience has watched one after another "cat and mouse drama" in which the enemy is dark and I am clear, but "Wind Chaser" has filmed the long-lost "novelty" of spy war dramas.
This "new" word is embodied in the theme - financial spy war.
The spy war confrontation on the financial front is no less tragic than that of the frontal battlefield, and the drama adopts a two-line parallel approach to promote the plot and draw the audience into the play.
The first clue is the financial market.
Wei Ruolai (played by Wang Yibo) graduated from the accounting major of the night school, but he was unable to get his graduation certificate because of his status as a foreigner.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ruolai was the only one in the audience who passed the exam, but because he left his hometown Shanxi during the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't prove his identity and unfortunately lost the election.
However, Wei Ruolai did not slack off, but deduced Shen Tunan's plan through the information in the newspaper and changes in the stock market, and tried his best to say his thoughts to his face.
Shen Tunan was pleasantly surprised by Wei Ruolai's financial talent, so he made an exception and admitted him as his assistant and took him with him to learn business knowledge.
However, Wei Ruolai's brother Wei Ruochuan (Hou Xiao) disrupted his plan and also led to hidden clues -
The second clue is spy warfare.
Shen Tunan's sister Shen Jinzhen (played by Li Qin) is an underground party and receives a task to connect with a companion codenamed "Lone Star".
As everyone knows, someone in the team has mutinied, the news has been exposed, and the enemy has been following the "Lone Star".
Shen Jinzhen came to the agreed place, and immediately found the "Lone Star" according to the props, and before he could step forward, he saw the captain of the Security Department rushing in.
Fortunately, the two knew each other, and Shen Jinzhen reminded "Lone Star" loudly on the grounds of introducing him to his companions, and was pushed out of the door after speaking, and "Lone Star" was about to leave after hearing it, but it was too late.
He escaped through the window while the other party was not paying attention, and was seriously injured and hid in the sewer.
But he knew that he couldn't survive anymore, so he hid directly in his younger brother Wei Ruolai's house, and it turned out that the "Lone Star" was Wei Ruolai's own brother Wei Ruochuan, whom he hadn't seen for three years.
When Wei Ruolai came back, Wei Ruochuan entrusted him to meet a "friend" instead of him, and he swallowed his breath after speaking.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Wei Ruolai had already guessed his brother's true identity, and in this way, Wei Ruolai, who was originally an ordinary bank clerk, accidentally embarked on a new road.
The light and dark lines began to change the moment Wei Ruolai saw his brother.
Finance is the table, spy war is the inside,
The victory or defeat of a business war is related to how our party can break through the economic blockade.
In the play, there is not only the tense atmosphere of spy war, but also the novelty brought by financial spy war, and the opening scene reveals a good texture, and finally there is a CCTV spy war drama that makes me stay up all night chasing after it.
The lineup is luxurious, and all the members are close to their faces
The classic spy war drama not only requires the quality of the script to be excellent, but also requires the actors' acting skills to pass.
Now that the story is over, let's take a look at the acting.
After watching four episodes, "Wind Chaser" proves one thing: young actors may not pull their hips.
Let's talk about the male protagonist Wang Yibo first.
Although Wang Yibo is a typical traffic actor, he has never pursued the road of traffic, and has taken the initiative to change his acting path and try different styles of roles, such as Ye Mi in "No Name", Lei Yu in "King of the Sky" and so on.
In the new drama, the theme of spy war is once again challenged, and Wang Yibo seems to be more comfortable.
When Wei Ruolai, played by him, was interviewed by the senior consultant in person, his face was full of energy, and the smugness at the corners of his mouth could not be hidden.
After being politely rejected due to identity issues, Wei Ruolai's expression instantly dimmed, with a look of regret and regret, and when he heard that Shen Tunan could write a letter of recommendation to himself, his eyelids trembled, and there was a little more surprise in the loss.
Through micro-expressions, the transformation of the character's mood is naturally completed, and Wang Yibo is one step closer to the goal of a powerful actor.
Let's talk about the heroine Li Qin.
Li Qin's most out-of-the-circle role is Lin Wan'er in "Celebrating More Than Years", she is the kind of actor who can play with good looks and good acting skills, and her appearance is also eye-catching in Republic of China dramas.
In "The Wind Chaser", she played Shen Jinzhen, in the first few episodes of the plot, most of them were in a crisis situation, Li Qin's performance can make the audience feel a sense of urgency, rather than pretending, which is better than many small flowers.
However, the highlight clips of her acting skills are still to come.
After talking about the protagonist, I finally said that this supporting role, Wang Yang.
Wang Yang is a late-blooming actor, and he only jumped to the "top of the uncle circle" with dramas such as "Rebel" and "Celebrating More Than Years" in middle age.
But his acting skills have been steady and steady.
In the new play, Wang Yang plays Shen Tunan, a senior adviser to the central bank, who is calm about everything on the surface, and can calm down to comfort others when he sees his car explode.
And this unusual calmness just reflects his hidden city government, and when he digs out the scum inside the central bank, he inadvertently reveals the ruthlessness, which shows that the role is not simple.
This kind of role that is difficult to distinguish between good and evil has to be performed by Wang Yang.
In addition, there are also many powerful actors such as Wang Xueqi, Gao Lu, Yang Kun and so on in the play, and this spy war drama is becoming more and more interesting.
Epilogue:
In fact, as early as 2023, spy war dramas will pick up half.
It is true that there are a lot of works, and it is also true that word-of-mouth has collectively hit the streets, but almost all of these dramas have achieved good ratings.
The reason is very simple, the suspenseful atmosphere and reasoning plot of spy war dramas are attractive, and the audience is used to watching while scolding, in other words, low word-of-mouth will not affect the high ratings of spy war dramas.
And if "The Wind Chaser" wants to stabilize its reputation, it must do this-
The plot is logically thorough.
Don't abandon logic for the sake of gimmicks, too much pursuit of reversal will dazzle the audience and lose patience.
The opening of "Wind Chaser" gave the audience the hope of a counterattack by a spy war drama, and looked forward to it stabilizing this momentum.
What do you think of this drama?
