Spy war dramas have been the darlings of the TV drama market in recent years, and they have been broadcast one after another. However, when similar plots are staged repeatedly, the audience seems to gradually become aesthetically fatigued.
Just when the spy war drama fell into the quagmire of homogenization, CCTV's annual drama "Night and Dawn" was born. Can this drama really become a clear stream of spy war dramas with its novel story setting and luxurious cast? We might as well take a sneak peek and see what it has to offer.
As a special genre, spy war dramas often have a certain stylized fixed pattern in their story framework and character settings. For example, whether it is a movie or a TV series, we can always see such a familiar plot: the male protagonist gradually grows from a faithless and fledgling youth to a determined revolutionary under the inspiration of the heroine. Such stories, although tear-jerking, are inevitably a bit old-fashioned.
"Night and Dawn" takes a different path, setting the background in the early days of the founding of New China. At that time, the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had not yet ended, and the Kuomintang spies were still active in Shanghai, secretly competing with our public security officers and policemen.
In the play, the protagonist is no longer an underground party member, but has changed his family and has become the first generation of public security fighters in New China. Different from the situation in the past, where "the enemy is bright and I am dark", the current situation is "the enemy is dark and I am clear". This transformation of the character's identity provides more possibilities for the development of the plot.
Another highlight is that "Night and Dawn" does not simply portray the protagonist as a natural hero, but chooses a perspective that is closer to life and more human.
The male protagonist in the play was originally a small policeman in the old society, although he had a superior IQ, he was not successful in that dark era. The founding of the People's Republic of China allowed him to rediscover the meaning and value of life.
Under the guidance of an experienced veteran agent, he gradually grew into an excellent public security fighter. Such a process of transformation can undoubtedly resonate more with the audience.
Espionage warfare is undoubtedly a dangerous game, especially when our side is exposed under the nose of the enemy, and any slight mistake may lead to the failure of the mission or even the danger of life.
And this highly tense situation, which may be reversed at any time, is precisely the most attractive part of spy war dramas. I believe that in "Night and Dawn", we can see more thrilling scenes of struggle.
An excellent film and television work, in addition to having a gripping plot, the performance of the actors is also crucial. "Night and Dawn" can be said to have gathered powerful domestic first-line actors, and people are looking forward to it when they see the cast.
Wang Zhiwen has always been a frequent visitor to domestic spy war dramas, and the roles he plays are all impressive. This time, he played a mysterious role in the play, even if it was just a glance back or a gesture, it could immediately bring the audience into that smoky era. Wang Zhiwen's ability to control the role is first-class, and I believe he will add a lot to this drama.
Wang Jinsong is also a frequent visitor to spy war dramas, and this time he plays the role of a villain again, which is very exciting. In the trailer, Wang Jinsong is dressed in black, sitting on a chair, his eyes are sharp and revealing a hint of gloom.
Such a role is exactly what he is good at. The villain image created by Wang Jinsong often makes people love and hate, and we will wait and see what kind of performance he will use to conquer the audience.
Ni Dahong has attracted wide attention in recent years for playing the role of Su Daqiang, but his acting skills should not be underestimated. This time, he changed his previous image of a "loving father" in the play, and there is a ruthless heart hidden under the fashionable shape. This kind of contrasting and cute setting must add a lot of highlights to his performance.
Nie Yuan is also a highly respected performing artist, and his joining will undoubtedly greatly improve the overall acting standards of the play. Nie Yuan plays a senior underground party member this time, and this role can be described as his exclusive buff. That kind of calm, restrained and majestic temperament must be brought into full play under his interpretation.
In addition to these big-name actors, the show also has many original cast members of "Hurricane" joining, which can be described as "we are all dreamers" under the big family. "
As a representative of the idol faction, Chen Zheyuan played the male lead this time, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him to transform. I believe that under the leadership of his predecessors, his performance will reach a higher level.
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and some netizens believed that "Night and Dawn" is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated spy war dramas in 2023.
The crew not only invited powerful domestic first-line actors to join, but also had new ideas in the plot setting, striving to break through the inherent mode of spy war dramas. With such a strong team and novel story, the show will surely set off a wave of drama chasing.
Some netizens also believe that although the show is unique in terms of cast and story selection, it is not easy to stand out in the current environment of mainland spy war dramas.
After all, the audience's aesthetics of spy war dramas have become increasingly tired, and the so-called "reversal" set up by the screenwriters with great effort is often just a cliché that changes the soup but not the medicine. Whether "Night and Dawn" can really innovate the narrative mode of spy war dramas has to be put with a question mark.
Some netizens believe that it is not enough to have a good story and actors, and the production level is also indispensable. Spy war dramas have high requirements for sets, props, costumes, etc., and they will be goofed if they are not careful.
In recent years, many spy war dramas have been criticized for being shoddy, and I hope that "Night and Dawn" can work the production and bring the audience an audio-visual feast with a sense of age and epic.
In general, "Night and Dawn", as CCTV's key spy war drama of the year, has unique advantages: unique and novel plot settings, luxurious casts, and strong publicity channels, it is expected to become a phenomenal hit drama.
Of course, the success or failure of any drama is inseparable from the test of the audience. We still need to look at it with caution and not exaggerate too much.
But what is certain is that "Night and Dawn" has injected a fresh blood into domestic spy war dramas, and its emergence will undoubtedly promote the development and progress of this category.
As a veteran fan of spy war dramas, I am full of expectations for "Night and Dawn". I believe that as long as the show can truly break through the routine of spy war dramas and make great efforts in all aspects such as performance, story, and production, it will definitely bring the audience a refreshing viewing experience.
As an important part of domestic TV dramas, spy war dramas should also continue to make progress in innovation and breakthroughs, and present them to the audience with a more mature and diversified appearance.
So, as an audience, what do you expect from "Night and Dawn"? Do you think it can carry the banner of domestic spy war dramas and become a benchmark for the innovation of genre dramas? Welcome to leave your views in the comment area.
