Audiences familiar with Li Yifeng know that he previously played chen Shen, an underground worker in the spy war drama "Sparrow", and later played Gu Yaodong, a small policeman of the Republic of China in the spy war drama "Hidden and Great", these two roles have one thing in common, they are undercover.
"Hidden and Great" was a great success, this drama was not only popular with the audience, but also praised by the central media, and Li Yifeng's outstanding performance in the play allowed him to reverse the positioning of his traffic star in the audience's heart and become a veritable actor.
Perhaps because such a role had too much of an impact on his image shift, he took on another tv series of this type last year, Nightcrawler.
This time he was still undercover, but not an agent in the period drama, but an anti-drug policeman who broke into the criminal group.
It is reported that in "Nightcrawler", Li Yifeng has to switch back and forth between multiple identities, usually he is a driver Chen Mo who supports his family by driving a taxi, and his real identity is Luo Xiang, an anti-drug policeman, who was killed and faked dead in an anti-drug operation five years ago, changed his name and surname five years later, pretended to be his former self to break into the drug cartel, broke through the darkness on the road of pursuing the truth and facing his own destiny, and finally pulled out the black hand hidden behind the Thai police station.
What is surprising is that the partner with Li Yifeng to play the female number one is the famous actor Song Yi, and the ending of Yu Manli she portrayed in "The Pretender" a few years ago has made many viewers still feel uneasy.
In addition to Yu Manli, Song Yi has also created a number of other influential characters in recent years, such as Fan Ruoruo in "Qing Yu Nian" and Su Tan'er in "Son-in-law".
The character played by Song Yi in "Nightcrawler" is a beautiful and sassy domineering boss lady, the official introduction said that she is "the clearest light in the dark night", and the male number one is her lover.
In addition to Li Yifeng and Song Yi, Feng Delun, the husband of the famous Hong Kong director and actress Shu Qi, also played an important role in the play, that is, the second male number of the play, the anti-drug policeman Liao Yongjia.
Guan Wei has a sentence in the text when he posted Feng Delun's green photo, "I guess many friends have been full of curiosity about the role of Liao Yongjia, don't worry, we will meet again soon", which seems to imply the mystery of this role, if there is no accident, he is likely to be an internal ghost.
Feng Delun's directing talent is recognized in the circle, but since the official announcement of the love affair with Shu Qi in 2014, few works have come out, only in 2017, he wrote and directed the adventure action film "Rogue League" starring Andy Lau and Shu Qi, and the Chinese TV drama works have not been one since "Old Feng's Diary" in 2006.
This time out of the mountain to play the male number two in "Nightcrawler", it should be both an accident and a surprise for the audience.
Among the other actors are many familiar faces to the audience, such as Guo Dongwen, who starred in Zhang Juzheng in "Daming Dynasty 1566"; Shi Zhaoqi, who played Xu Guoqing, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in "Conquest"; zhao Ziqi, who starred in Zhao Qingchu in "Who Decides My Youth".
Among the young faces are Gong Haibin, Song Yixing, Gu Bin and so on.
The drama started on May 9, 2021, and the whole drama was completed on September 15, which lasted more than 4 months, from Hainan to Yunnan, and was filmed in many places.
The drama a total of 24 episodes, at the beginning of the filming was declared to be a new suspense drama on the theme of anti-drug, "the plot of high energy is constantly reversed, immersive perception experience, walking in the night, until dawn", the login platform will be the famous iQiyi "Mist Theater", you know, this theater has launched "Hidden and Great", "Silent Truth" and other high-reputation works, "Nightcrawler" landed on this platform, indicating that the producer has the confidence to make it an annual classic repertoire!
It's all there is to say, and from now on look forward to Nightcrawler!
