Finally, in 2024, the headwind of domestic spy war dramas will come!
To be honest, even after watching "The Wind Chaser", "When the Stars Shine", "Lonely Battle in the City" and other works, I still haven't seen enough.
Fortunately, there are still a lot of stocks of the same type of works in the future, such as "Lonely Boat" starring Zhang Songwen, "Deep Dive to Break the Mystery" starring Cheng Yi, and "Deep Sea 1950" starring Yu Hewei, all of which are expected to become big hits.
Among them, Yu Hewei and Wu Yue starred in "Deep Sea 1950".
This drama appears in iQiyi's 2024 big drama library, although the finale special and the first trailer have not yet been released, but the broadcast in the second half of the year is already a certainty.
And the summer file is the most conducive to the fermentation of the popularity of the drama, and it is very likely that I will see this new drama again in August.
After watching the plot and cast, the hit drama is finally here!
First, a pure, orthodox, spy war drama with no love line
Domestic spy war dramas were once a smash hit, but after this genre came out of the circle, a large amount of fresh meat traffic poured into the market, so much so that spy war dramas once became the theme of idol stars to gain popularity.
This also made the spy war drama market silent for a long time, and it was not until the past two years that a large number of spy war dramas were broadcast.
However, it is precisely because of the popularity that this kind of story setting is prone to the problem of sameness and lack of novelty, and the difference is the difference in casting.
"Deep Sea 1950" is a work that can make people see a little new and very pure orthodox, these three highlights are enough to arouse everyone's interest.
First, the particularity of the background of the times.
The most common era background setting of spy war dramas is the Anti-Japanese War period, because many forces are entrenched in one place, which has its own natural conflicts and contradictions.
The protagonist is in such an environment and becomes a spy with multiple identities, which is both reasonable and interesting.
But no matter how wonderful the setting is, once you watch too much, it will make people feel bored.
This "Deep Sea 1950" is set in August 1949, at a critical period when New China was about to be founded.
Few works have depicted the story of this time period in the past.
As soon as the dust settled, there was no struggle between different forces.
Second, we are in control of the situation, and everyone is waiting for victory.
At this time, the spy war work seems to be less dangerous than before, from the enemy in the open and we in the dark, to our in the light and the enemy in the dark.
However, in this "Deep Sea 1950", Wu Shi, who was waiting for liberation in Fuzhou, was suddenly appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the vice minister of defense of the Nationalist Government.
The spy war work continued, but it was far from the Liberated Areas and went to Taiwan Province, which had not yet been liberated at that time.
This not only illustrates the necessity of spy warfare work, but also highlights the heroic image of the protagonist Wu Shi who sacrificed for the great cause of his family and country.
It can be said that this special node of the times alone gives this drama a first-mover to watch.
Second, more difficult spy warfare work.
The reason why "Deep Sea 1950" is more difficult is because in other times and other places, even if we are in the dark, the underground workers can secretly help.
However, Wu Shi, who went to Taiwan Province to take up his post, had to face the dilemma of not having so many comrades to help him, and most of the time he had to fight alone.
And as the vice minister of defense, Wu Shi is in a high position, and the level of intelligence that he can access is top secret, and once it is leaked, it will be quickly locked.
Under such circumstances, Wu Shi still took advantage of the convenience of his work to provide our East China Bureau with important information on the changes in the strength of troops on Kinmen Island and the movement of the Nationalist troops in the Southwest Campaign.
The increase in the difficulty of spy warfare also adds to the highlights of the play, but it is also destined to be more thrilling.
Third, there is no emotional line between the male and female protagonists.
The most reassuring thing is that the hero and heroine in this drama will not have love scenes.
You must know that the two protagonists account for the largest proportion of scenes, and once there is an emotional line, it is inevitable to sacrifice a lot of plot to tell the love story between the male and female protagonists.
And once spy work is involved with love, there will inevitably be more trouble.
But the heroine of this drama, Zhu Feng (played by Wu Yue), was originally going back to Shanghai to reunite with her family, but after learning that Wu Shi's original traffic officer had died, she voluntarily gave up the opportunity to reunite with her family and went to Taiwan Province to take up a job.
Both parties have families, and the hero and heroine are just each other's right-hand men in carrying out spy warfare work, which makes the spy war taste of "Deep Sea 1950" more pure.
Second, Magnolia looked at the emperor and took the lead, and all the actors helped out
Needless to say, the cast is also the reason why "Deep Sea 1950" is highly anticipated.
One of the heroes and heroines is Yu Hewei, who won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor with "The Awakening Age".
One is Wu Yue, who won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress with "County Party Committee Compound".
There is naturally no need to worry about the selection of dramas and the level of acting skills after seeing the emperor, these two people alone have been able to control the acting level of the whole drama.
But in addition to these two main actors, the supporting cast is also the same drama.
has cooperated with Zhang Yimou in "Man Jianghong" and "On the Cliff" one after another, and played Deng Ziyue's Yu Haolei in this year's hit costume drama "Celebrating More Than Years 2".
There is Lonnie, who brought the charm of Kochi women to the extreme with "Hurricane", and at the beginning of this year, she also cooperated with Yu Hewei to star in "City in the City".
is also Yu Hewei's old partner, Cao Lei, the two once worked together in "The Awakening Age", Cao Lei played the role of Lu Xun in the play.
Zhang Xilin, who is best at interpreting negative images, has starred in dramas such as "Executive Judge" and "Lonely Lost City" this year alone, and this time he will continue to perform spy war dramas.
and Tan Kai, who has starred in dramas such as "Sweeping the Black Storm", "Thirteen Years in the Dust", and "The Golden Years", will also make a surprise appearance in the play.
In addition, Zheng Jiabin, the secretary of Wang in "Hurricane", Li Jian, the actor of the policeman Li Xiang, and Lu Xiucai Yu Entai in "Wulin Gaiden" are also here.
It can be said that every actor in this drama is familiar to everyone, and it can be called an all-star lineup.
epilogue
With a good script and a top-level cast, the main creative team is also indispensable.
Director Yang Yaya may be a little unfamiliar to everyone, but "Back to Back, Face to Face", which has a score of 9.5, is from Yang Yaya.
In addition, he has also directed works such as "Nothing to Steal Fun", "Ambush" and other works, all of which are word-of-mouth masterpieces.
It seems that "Deep Sea 1950" is ready for everything, and it only needs to start broadcasting to detonate the spy war drama market again.
Do you think this new drama starring Yu Hewei and Wu Yue can explode?
