Last year, iQiyi's Mist Theater, brought "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth", the Network was hotly discussed, and the Douban score was 8.9 and 9.1 respectively, which can be described as a double burst of ratings and word-of-mouth.
And this year's main theme film "Across the Yalu River" and "The Age of Awakening" were also popular at the same time, and also scored high scores of 8.8 and 9.3 on Douban respectively, which was applauded and applauded.
Hardcore, reality, reality, and non-suspension are the main elements of the TV series in today's era.
Under such a background, Hunan Satellite TV stopped the theme of "youth in progress" in the weekly theater, although under this theme, it has broadcast blockbuster idol dramas such as "Whirlwind Girl", "Meteor Garden", "Chu Qiao Biography", "Choosing Heaven" and so on.
Turning to the launch of the first Taiwan network linkage "Mango Monsoon" theater jointly created with Mango TV, as the king of ratings in satellite television, Mango TV finally has to devote all its efforts to producing web dramas.
The Mango Monsoon Theatre is marked against the Mist Theatre and the Anglo-American drama.
It is understood that each episode will be about 70 minutes long, the overall number of episodes will not be much, the content of each episode will be more compact, the amount of information will be larger, and the degree of typology will be higher - "subvert the long drama water injection, subvert the suspension expression, subvert the traffic dependence, and bring a new atmosphere." ”
At present, several dramas officially announced by Monsoon Theater have suspenseful action, realism, urban family, female themes, etc., qin Hao, Zhou Yutong, Bai Yufan, Gong Jun, Niu Junfeng, Lan Yingying, Yin Fang, Ma Sichun, Bai Ke and many other actors have left the country.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > Powerful actors plus the "Twelve Hours of Chang'an" team</h1>
"Wolf Hunter" is directed by Cao Dun and Gao Xiang, starring Qin Hao, Yin Fang, Huang Zixing, Shen Jiani, Yin Zhusheng, Yu Haolei, Zhao Wei, Sui Yongliang and other stars.
The drama tells the thrilling anti-poaching action story of Wei Jiang (Qin Hao), a "old cannon" ranger who bears guilt, and Qin Chuan (Yin Fang), a hot-blooded newcomer policeman.
Wei Jiang was originally a very good forest policeman, but in an operation five years ago to hunt down the poacher "Wolf Boys", his teammate and best brother Zhao Cheng sacrificed to cover him, which made him feel a heavy sense of guilt.
After that, he had to retire, and under the pressure of frustration and guilt, he eventually became a ranger who drank and was drunk all the time.
Five years later, in order to search for the missing newcomer policeman Qin Chuan, Wei Jiang and the same group of "wolf children" encountered again, and the flame of revenge for his friends in his heart was ignited again, so he and Qin Chuan formed a partnership and embarked on a difficult journey to fight against the "wolf children".
Cao Dun does not need to introduce much, from the screenwriters of popular dramas such as "Snail Residence", "The Naked Marriage Era", "Wang Gui and Anna", "Look at this Family" to the director of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", it can be described as one of the outstanding domestic TV series directors who have come up step by step.
2019's "Twelve Hours of Chang'an" has a bright rhythm, excellent production, and film texture, which makes us feel a great sense of surprise.
This time Cao Dun's "Wolf Hunter" continues his shooting style in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", the camera is fierce and fierce, the plot is tense and exciting, the fight scene is fist to flesh, the lines are intriguing, the tension is often unconsciously full, Qin Hao and Yin Fang and the poachers Thrilling Battle of Wits and Courage allows the audience to watch with clenched fists in each episode of 70 minutes.
The boss in "Wolf Son" is the actor Yin Zhusheng who played the right Minister Lin Jiulang in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", the third is the actor Zhao Wei who plays the main xu bin, and the sixth is the actor Yu Haolei who plays Yuan Zai, all of whom are powerful actors.
Lead actor Qin Hao does not need to say much, from "Undocumented Crime" to "The Hidden Corner", he can be described as a handy grasp of this kind of action suspense drama, and his acting skills are bursting.
The first episode alone shows a few "shopping on credit", "dirty face flying hair", and "drunkenness and playing with lai" vividly portray a decadent and numb ranger nicknamed Wei Baliang.
But when he found that the "wolf children" who had been thinking about it for five years appeared in front of his eyes, the strength, anger, agility, and courage of this character were all resurrected, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
This point is very similar to the interpretation of "Uncle" Limnesen in the "Rescue" series of movies, so Qin Hao's acting skills also add a lot of points to the film texture of "Wolf Hunter", which adds a sense of American drama.
And Yin Fang, who has performed well in "Red Sea Action", "Young You", and "Hotpot Hero" before, this time plays a novice policeman Qin Chuan, who is a bit stubborn and hot-blooded and righteous, and the acting skills in the current episodes are also remarkable, and the character personality is more suitable.
For example, even if he falls into the hands of the murderous and vicious "wolf", his eyes and movements are still stubborn, and some viewers comment: "Childish but not childish, impulsive but not annoying, Yin Fang took this role just right!"
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" > The plot is tight and unconventional</h1>
The power of the director and screenwriter coupled with the excellent interpretation of the actors presents the plot of "Wolf Hunter" very attractive, very compact and good-looking.
In the many confrontations between Wei Jiang and the "wolf children", it not only outlines the painful past and rich experience experienced by Wei Jiang, but also reflects the process of his journey from decadence and depression to revenge and awakening.
Such a tight and sharp rhythm in "Wolf Hunter" has been unanimously praised by the audience, and they have given comments such as "nervous stimulation", "many scenes scare me, but I know that reality is more cruel", "This drama is too nervous to watch, they hold their breath and I follow it, they use force I follow the force".......
For example, there is a scene in which the poaching gang of "Seven Wolves" discusses punishment, showing the wonderful acting skills of the actors and the director's ability to control the picture and rhythm.
Because Wei Jiang rescued Qin Chuan in time, Boss Liu, who hired the "Seven Wolves", was worried about being implicated at this time, and quarreled with the "wolves", and as a result, he was shot down by Lao Wuyi.
After that, the boss sent Lao Liu (Yu Haolei) to deal with this situation. After the sixth elder arrived, he first put on an apron and concentrated on preparing a delicious hot pot for the brothers.
When the hot pot is served, the lights are bright and the drama begins. The sixth elder first stated that he was speaking on behalf of the boss and the three people, and then said that the matter of killing the employer should be done according to the old rules.
At this time, the fifth elder who killed Boss Liu lied and said that they had met the police, and the people were killed by the police. Old Six said directly: Don't joke, we police see less? Old Fifth had to confess and ran into Wei Jiang.
Lao Liu did not comment, only asking the facts: Is Wei Jiang dead or alive? As soon as this question came out, the old five were vague in an instant, the old seven pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the old third was broken in one sentence: Alive, what?
At this time, the topic has been controlled by Lao Liu, because the "Seven Wolves" have actually been paying attention to Wei Jiang's life and death over the years, and now the three people have met Wei Jiang but have not done him, which is indeed a big mistake.
With that said, the sixth elder has controlled the situation and said to the fifth elder, "You take the lead in this operation, you see what you do", and clearly expressed his position on behalf of the organization. In the face of the fifth elder's intercession, the sixth elder said", "Eat, this meat is really good" directly refused.
At this time, the third elder took care of himself and ate meat, and the seventh elder focused on pouring wine, and all of them were wise to protect themselves. The fifth elder has no choice but to implement the "old rules" and break his fingers.
There is no clash of swords in this scene, and the dramatic tension is in the performance of the actors. The fifth is strong and internal, the third and seventh are out of the matter, and the sixth is calm and sophisticated, each of which is vividly expressed.
It can be said that "Wolf Hunter" is not an American drama, but it has the narrative intensity and tight rhythm of a high-quality American drama.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > high-quality cinematic texture</h1>
In terms of shooting scenes, "Wolf Hunter" is no less than the large-scale Production of American dramas or movies, snow chases, wild confrontations, fire scenes and other scenes are both magnificent and exciting, gripping.
In the first two episodes of the series, the white snowy mountains, the blue sky, the magnificent sunset, and the natural scenes that open and close are extremely impactful, which sets a grand atmospheric tone for the work.
When Wei Jiang apparently agreed to save Qin Chuan for a year's worth of wine money, the picture gave details, one was the hand of the old Wei Duan wine glass, and he couldn't stop trembling. It shows that the decadence of alcoholism has degraded his body in recent years.
But when Wei Jiang resolutely went to the mountains, the scenes along the way changed to a large level, from the morning light into the forest, to the fog-filled deep into the long forest, and then to the sunrise after sunset.
The magnificence and beauty of this area, vast and dangerous, are all in the lens performance. Under the background music full of epic feeling, Wei Jiang walked alone, one horse, and one gun in the vast and boundless natural world, vividly presenting the image of a lonely hero, which was extremely infectious.
Such scenes are easily reminiscent of classic American film and television dramas such as "Unforgivable", "Once Upon a Time in the West", and "Thunder on the Earth".
In addition, there is also lao liu design to lure the jun into the urn, design to kill lao Wei and Qin Chuan's lao Yi family battle, and finally there is an 8-minute long one-shot to the end, in one breath, full of expressiveness, making people addicted.
This kind of complex motion shot is not rare in various European and American fine film and television dramas. It can allow the audience to completely immerse themselves in a closed space and plot atmosphere.
At present, after the Douban score of "Wolf Hunter" is opened, it is a score of 8.1, which is a very good start, then, the trend of the next plot and the quality of the episode will undoubtedly determine the final reputation of this drama.
Wei Jiang and Qin Chuan, also teachers and friends, fearlessly move forward in the struggle against poachers, vowing to die and circumventing, and the two grow up together... Although this routine has been used many times in American dramas, "Wolf Hunter" presents a fine film and television drama that can be compared with American dramas with its cinematic textured picture scenes, compact and sharp plot rhythms, and excellent interpretation of the actors.
And genre dramas like "Wolf Hunter" that "bid farewell to brainlessness and sweet pets" are also a sign of the continuous maturity and progress of domestic dramas.
