In these years, what national drama is the most popular?
I said it was an anti-crime drama.
In recent years, the theme of anti-crime has become a "sweet spot" of domestic film and television.
Although the broadcast rate of anti-crime works is not high, the explosion rate is quite high.
A "Sweeping Black Storm", 4.6 billion views.
A "Hurricane" has become a hit in 2023.
A "Sweeping the Gang and Never Give Up" led by Xiao Yang easily won 190 million box office in the Dragon Boat Festival.
Anti-crime film and television dramas continue to be popular, in addition to the advantages of the theme, but also because of the distinct dramatic conflicts of the theme and the huge shaping space of positive and negative characters.
As long as the production is excellent, anti-crime dramas are basically watchable.
The more exciting the fight between the pros and cons, the more the audience will enter the play.
However, speaking of which, more than a year after "Hurricane", there has been no popular anti-crime drama on the TV screen for a long time.
Who's going to break the game?
It has to be him - Zhang Yi.
Recently, the first trailer of an anti-crime drama led by Zhang Yi, "In the Name of Law".
Judging from the 3-minute preview, I just said one sentence, full of explosions.
Director, Fu Dongyu, a well-known hardcore director.
In addition to Zhang Yi, there are also Li Guangjie, Jiang Xin, Liu Jia, Feng Jiayi, plus Yang Shuo, Shi Jingming, Dong Qing, Ding Yongdai, Ren Zhong, Xu Fanxi, Hao Ping, Bai Bing. There are no less than 15 powerful factions.
Finally, look at the one standing behind the series, the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center.
Can you set off a "Hurricane"-style drama frenzy again?
Zhang Yi, who has been immersed for a long time, how much surprise can he create this time?
01, the scale of the story is violent? The three lines show the strength, this new drama is ruthless enough
It can be seen from the trailer that the main story line of this contemporary procuratorial investigation drama is to sweep away gangsters.
Hong Xueyou, Zheng Yaping, procurators of the Haidong Provincial Procuratorate, Li Dong, chief procurator of the Haizhou City Procuratorate, and others discovered suspicious points in the process of reviewing the "Wanshi Group's gang-related case" in Haizhou City, and the suspect Zhang Wenqing was framed for framing the crime, and the judicial personnel were involved in bending the law for personal gain in the process of handling the case.
With the coordination and cooperation of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, the Provincial Anti-Organized Crime Office, the Provincial Procuratorate, and the leaders of various political and legal units, they used the clues as a breakthrough point to review the "213 shooting case," thoroughly smashed the "Tianlong Group," an underworld force that had been entrenched in Haizhou City for many years, restored Zhang Wenqing's innocence, and at the same time investigated and prosecuted the crimes committed by certain judicial personnel in Haizhou City.
The amount of information in this brief introduction of this story is already very large: shooting cases, gang-related cases, underworld groups, and crimes committed by judicial personnel. Good guys, is this a blend of hurricane and circuit prosecutor story elements?
The three lines in the trailer make us seem to see the gray line of the grass snake in the development of the whole story.
The first sentence: "The 11th Procuratorial Department, what are you doing?" Pack up our own people. ”
The dialogue in this trailer is obviously from a small discussion within the public security system.
The scale of this pair of dialogues alone is reminiscent of "Hurricane" and "In the Name of the People".
And the whole drama is similar to the style of painting, and the whole anti-crime road focuses on a thrilling thrill.
The story was triggered by the mastermind of a major criminal case retracting his confession in court.
With the unexplained cause of a prosecutor's death, a comprehensive self-examination within the judicial system has been triggered.
It is difficult to distinguish friend from foe, how to break the net and clean up the dirt?
Obviously, the story involves many forces hiding behind it. And Hong Liang, the prosecutor of the eleventh department played by Zhang Yi, is the key figure in the self-examination.
Sweeping the dark is not a dinner party, Zhang Yi's nervous eyes in the preview can see that this is an absolute tough battle.
And this also drives the tense and exciting atmosphere of the whole series from the dynamic visual.
On the road of sweeping the darkness of the male protagonist and his party, they continue to encounter all kinds of dangers, or, they are hidden in the ice.
Or, there was a thug shooting.
There are also suspected casualties of members of the positive camp.
as well as all kinds, framing slander.
In a scene in the trailer, Hong Liang played by Zhang Yi is being interrogated by the prosecutor played by Jiang Xin.
In the face of the constant tricks of the villain camp, the male protagonist "can't find out what is called a slap in the face", and the only way to kill is to open a bloody road.
This simple sentence also laid two foreshadowings for what will happen later.
The first one, Hong Liang is not a lamb, he is going to clean up some people.
Second, some people are afraid of being cleaned up by him, so they will take the initiative to clean him up, and this battle is so hard that it can't be harder.
The second sentence: "Fairness, justice, truth, these are the ideal states mentioned in the college books, life is not, life is alive." ”
In addition to the tension and excitement in the painting style, the trailer is also brilliant in the portrayal of the group portraits of the characters.
In anti-crime dramas, the villain is very important, and the positive role is equally important.
And every good and evil in the trailer makes people feel full of shock.
There is black, for example, the subordinate prisoner played by Yang Shuo sneered and said: I am the underworld? "Aren't you?"
There are whites, such as Li Guangjie's role as a prosecutor, bearing the burden and hugging his wife.
Maybe, there is also ash, such as Wang Jinsong's role, who always wears a smile, giving people a very deep perception of the city, a calm "must be checked", giving people an aura of "can't be provoked". But it's a little unpredictable.
The real anti-black drama will dare to look directly at the shadows under the sun, look at this dialogue, there is something.
The third sentence: "It is the evil that does not leak, not the evil that does not make up." ”
The villain is not small, but the positive camp led by the male protagonist has never been deterred.
Although the process is full of obstacles, and although the characters are constantly injured, judging from the second half of the trailer, it is implied that the characters are becoming more and more "resolute" in sweeping away the dark.
There is a task force to investigate.
Special police officers were dispatched.
There is villain hysteria.
There is also the sentence that the heroine persuaded the witnesses to speak: The law is your weapon, and the judiciary is your backing.
In this anti-gang battle, our side will be invincible. This is also the biggest dramatic conflict and highlight of "In the Name of Law".
02, Zhang Yi's expression is deep, Jiang Xin is "pressing step by step", Wang Jinsong is domineering in one sentence, this lineup is really strong
In fact, in the circle, as long as it is a project in which Zhang Yi participates, there is almost no suspense in the lineup. With his status in the film and television industry today, it is not a good project, it is impossible to hand it to him, and it is even more impossible for him to accept it.
Zhang Yi took it, it must be the top project of the national drama, there is no need to doubt this.
The director of this play, Fu Dongyu, has directed the hit dramas "Icebreaker" and "The Wind Blows in the Summer".
The cast, in addition to Zhang Yi, also includes Li Guangjie, Jiang Xin, Liu Jia, Feng Jiayi, Yang Shuo, Hao Ping, Bai Bing, Pan Zhi, Ding Yongdai, Wang Jinsong and so on.
This lineup is no less than "Hurricane".
The most anticipated thing is Zhang Yi.
After "Hurricane", Zhang Yi did play too many police roles, from "Who is he" to "The Three Teams", they are all policemen.
If the same type of role is played too much, the audience will have aesthetic fatigue, but in the current entertainment industry, Zhang Yi is still one of the most malleable actors.
Even if it is such a limited scene as "Article 20", he can still perform brilliantly.
Looking at the current entertainment industry, there is no actor who can win Zhang Yi at the same time in terms of role completion and performance diversity.
In this "In the Name of Law", Zhang Yi will challenge a new type of character: prosecutor.
Interestingly, the trailer is more than three minutes long, and I didn't hear the character say a single line.
Looking at Zhang Yi's expression sitting in the interrogation room in the play, he is calm, self-controlled, calm, and even a little anti-customer-oriented.
That is, at the moment of crisis when he was falsely accused and even fell into the mud, this character still maintained a high degree of sobriety, and it can be concluded that this is by no means a hot-blooded character like An Xin, but a restrained character who is moody and temperamental.
Zhang Yi didn't play much of this kind of role in the past, and I was already looking forward to the moment when his emotions exploded.
second place, Wang Jinsong
Wang Jinsong is not the starring role in the play, but Uncle Dong in the trailer is too tasteful.
In the last second, and the prosecutors came in high spirits,
In the next second, calmly and calmly give orders: must be checked.
Wang Jinsong's performance strength goes without saying, one of his major characteristics is that the roles of good and evil have masterpieces.
In director Fu Dongyu's masterpiece "Icebreaker", he plays the biggest villain Uncle Dong.
This time, Wang Jinsong seems to play a positive role, but don't forget, the plot synopsis has been clearly stated: judicial officers, duty crimes.
Who? From another point of view, referring to the villain setting of "Sweeping the Black Storm", which actor has this weight to play this villain's hole card?
If you were director Fu Dongyu, would you choose Wang Jinsong? I will choose.
third place, Li Guangjie
Li Guangjie has always been an underrated treasure actor, and her acting skills have always been very stable.
In this play, he plays the second male lead, which is also the second time in the whole play, and the role is bound to be heavy.
In recent years, Li Guangjie's output has not been low, and his starring roles are mainly suspense dramas, such as the costume suspense drama "Feng Qi Longxi" and the contemporary suspense drama "Out of Court".
In this play, he plays a square prosecutor, his eyes are like a cheetah, carefully and patiently squatting and looking for prey, and his eye drama is quite good.
He and Zhang Yi are playing, and the perception will not be bad, just wait patiently.
fourth place, Feng Jiayi
As the third male lead in this play, Feng Jiayi must have a lot of roles.
Many viewers are really familiar with this treasure actor, it may be "City in the City", Su Jianren is portrayed by Feng Jiayi, the cute energy of a middle-aged greasy uncle, the audience loves and hates.
But the last time his acting skills shined, it was director Fu Dongyu's "The Wind Blows in the Summer", and this time he broke out in Fu Dongyu's hands, it is worth looking forward to.
fifth, Ding Yongdai
Audiences who are familiar with criminal investigation dramas will not be unfamiliar with Ding Yongdai, the gangster Bai Baoshan he played back then was definitely the ceiling of the villain of the national drama.
After reaching the peak with "The World", he was nominated for Magnolia Emperor with "South to North", although he did not win the award, his acting skills are undoubted.
This is another powerful faction suitable for both good and bad actors, it depends on how the director arranges it.
Sixth, Liu Jia
Liu Jia should play a square character.
Many people know her because of "Hello, Li Huanying", in fact, she is not like a late bloomer, but has already become famous with spy war films, and even won the actress with "Ren Changxia".
With her in charge, the duel between good and evil is even more watchable.
seventh place, Hao Ping
Hao Ping played An Xin's master Cao Chuang in the drama "Hurricane", although the role was limited, the role was full of pathos and played quite well.
In big dramas such as "Trident", he has played well.
partnered with Zhang Yi again this time, but there was a scene of being reviewed by Zhang Yi in the play, I want to see if the two are friends or enemies this time.
eighth place, Dong Qing
Dong Qing is a treasure actress who has risen in recent years.
In "Home of the Heart", her delicate performance began to attract the attention of the audience. "Going to a Windy Place", the folk proprietress she portrayed, made everyone's eyes shine again.
In "Thirteen Years in the Dust", Dong Qing did not appear much, which is amazing.
It's not impossible for such a good actor to play supporting roles all the time, but it's a bit of a waste.
This time, Dong Qing is already very eye-catching in the trailer, and she is likely to be a key figure in the battle between good and evil, and it should be time for her to display her strength.
In addition, there is also Jiang Xin, who plays the heroine prosecutor.
Yang Shuo who plays the role of a prisoner.
The roles are difficult to distinguish between good and evil, Bai Bing, Pan Zhilin, and Ren Zhong.
Shi Jingming, who plays the prosecutor, and so on.
The lineup of this big drama is no less than "Hurricane" in terms of acting skills, appearance, and popularity, and its goal is, of course, a hit in national dramas.
03, can it set off another boom in black dramas? Zhang Yi is a guarantee
Jumping away from the series itself, let's talk about another major advantage of "In the Name of Law".
It's very simple, a big anti-crime drama.
I have to say that "In the Name of Law" is ready to be broadcast after filming at this time, which is undoubtedly the right time, place and people.
In terms of the sky, from the current environment, the current national drama is still in the honeymoon period with the anti-crime drama.
To put it simply, the audience really didn't get tired of watching it.
In 2019, "Icebreaker", which has both anti-crime and anti-drug attributes, became a hit, winning the Magnolia Best TV Series Award and harvesting 1.7 billion online broadcasts, becoming a phenomenal hit in 2019.
In 2020, the popularity of "Patrol Procuratorial Team" is not low.
The male protagonist Feng Sen played by Yu Hewei has become a classic role of Zhengfang.
In 2021, "Sweeping the Black Storm" will cause a boom on the whole network. In 2023, there is no need to say how hot Zhang Yi's "Hurricane" is.
It is not difficult to see that almost every year, there are new anti-crime hits.
This is also another big advantage of the series: location.
In the short term, there is no second anti-crime drama of the same weight scheduled to be broadcast in the near future, and the audience's expectations must always be carried by a big drama.
Then there is no doubt that the recent one is "In the Name of Law".
Finally, people.
The east wind has risen, waiting for the big drama to appear, as long as the main creator of the anti-crime drama gives enough sincerity, the possibility of hitting the hit is not low.
Judging from the lineup configuration, main creative lineup, and story potential of "In the Name of Law", I really don't see a reason not to explode.
My question is only: Will this be the new king bomb of the anti-crime drama, or the new classic?
I hope that this big drama led by Zhang Yi will start broadcasting as soon as possible, take us to relive the charm of anti-crime dramas again, and also witness the wonderful dialogue in the play: "This thing is over". "Someone didn't pass."
Then look down.
