Entering May, CCTV and major first-line satellite TV dramas have been released.
There is a new drama "Leverage" that aired in the evening prime time and attracted much attention. The reason why the drama has attracted attention is that in addition to the very attractive theme, there is also a strong cast of cards.
Directed by Liu Guang and starring Guo Jingfei, Yu Yi, Tong Liya, Zhang Fengyi and other leading actors, the drama integrates elements such as economic investigation and business warfare, revealing the behind-the-scenes story of the investigation department's handling of the case, telling the story of the economic investigation team leader Xiao Jian (Yu Yi) and the financial genius Xu Feng (Guo Jingfei) repeatedly fighting each other and staged a "cat and mouse war". The cases in the play are based on a number of real economic crime cases. It is worth mentioning that the director of the drama, Liu Guang, as a first-class police inspector, has a keen insight and a strong grasp of the genre theme, and the word-of-mouth masterpieces such as "Undercover Return", "Jiangcheng Police Affairs" and "The True Colors of Criminal Police" are all his handwriting.
It is reasonable to say that the texture and lineup of "Leverage" undoubtedly earned it a good chassis, but what I did not expect was that the ratings performance since the two days of broadcasting were somewhat unsatisfactory, and the attention was always hovering around the sixth and seventh places, and the heat was obviously not in the top three.
Leaving aside the plot for the time being, the cast of this drama alone is used as a criterion for judging, and it is unceremonious to say that a group of acting masters are blind.
The male number one of this drama is Guo Jingfei, after the completion of the two dramas "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "Opponent", his reputation inside and outside the industry has obviously risen to a new level, and he is regarded as a popular candidate for this year's "Magnolia" Emperor.
Like "Li Tang" in "Opponent", Guo Jingfei once again challenged the "two-faced faction" in "Leverage" and starred as Xu Feng, a high-IQ financial predator. His appearance and Yu Yi's role as Xiao Jian, the leader of the investigation team, became a pair of opponents on the opposite side, and the script focused on the relationship between the two people who were both enemies and friends. But at the same time, Guo Jingfei's identity is also good and evil, and there are huge secrets hidden, which can be described as a key figure in the eye of the suspense storm, and the character direction after the opening is very touching, and the hint of a different "cat and mouse game" has now been seen.
Zhang Fengyi played the public security bureau chief with a righteous temperament, Zhang Xilin played the unpredictable Brother Long, and Huang Junpeng played Zhang Hua and lay in the hospital as soon as the game began
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of "Leverage", there are several old drama bones, such as Zhang Fengyi, a powerful actor who has been absent from the TV screen for a long time, and playing the public security bureau chief in "Leverage", which is a righteous spirit.
Zhang Xi came to play the "boss behind the scenes" Brother Long, not angry and arrogant, his eyes were sharp, and any expression was full of drama.
"Zhang Hua", played by Huang Junpeng, encountered a serious traffic accident on the way to transport key physical evidence, lay in the hospital bed covered in blood, suffered injustice, and will wake up in the later stage and become a key figure involving both good and evil sides to promote the development of the plot.
Qian Xiaoyun, the female captain, is a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy. Many viewers are familiar with her through the TV series "Undercover Return", in which she plays "Cheng Ningning", who avenges her father, and her natural acting skills have received praise.
I believe that many people went to see "Leverage" against Guo Jingfei and Zhang Fengyi, but they did not expect that the result was powdered by Yu Yi, the actor of Xiao Jian, the leader of the investigation team.
This is not the first time Yu Yi has played a policeman, he has played it once as early as "Walking on Fire", but the personalities of the two characters are completely different.
In "Leverage", he played the detective captain "Xiao Jian", who had keen insight and acted decisively, and as soon as he appeared on the scene to solve the case, he saw the mistakes and omissions of the case and successfully arrested the criminal suspect. Immediately after the famous scene of chasing criminals in a sports car, it can be called brave and strategic. At the same time, he is still a veritable "poisonous tongue", whether it is a niece or an old classmate, he does not let go, and the good buddies are not soft, so that netizens give him a new nickname "Xiao Zhen". Unlike the cold-faced and serious genre characters of the past, a serious and personality of the detective policeman jumped on the screen.
Speaking of Yu Yi, the actor, it is a rather low-key and calm personality. Rarely appears in public except for filming. Previously, it was impressive that in dramas such as "Playing Dog Stick" and "Braveheart", Yu Yi's performance was remembered by many people, and this time in "Leverage", Yu Yi's appearance once again made people know this powerful actor. No wonder, the Internet said that Guo Jingfei's limelight was somewhat robbed this time.
In fact, Yu Yi and Guo Jingfei both graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy. Although he studied under the same roof, Yu Yi's luck was much better than Guo Jingfei's, because of his appearance, he received many script invitations as early as his student days, and had already filmed many works before graduation. Later, he accumulated popularity with works such as "Ambition" and "Male Talent and Female Appearance". After graduation, Guo Jingfei has been working the shanghai drama stage, and with solid stage basic skills, he has become the little prince of the Shanghai drama industry.
From the opening point of view, Xu Feng, played by Guo Jingfei, appeared as a villain, but from the plot summary and the information revealed by the poster photos, Xu Feng may be the key person to help Xiao Jian solve the case. The follow-up plot direction is likely to be the route of "double males", if this is the case, the plot of "Leverage" is entirely like the previous "Opponent" to pull out a low-open high-going upward line, let us wait and see.
