What a silent spy war in the contemporary city.
"Zhao Yayi, she is a person with status."
"Yang Guang's group of people have completely targeted me."
Good and evil are intertwined, and there are many shadows.
Stealing, poisoning, following, luring.
Countermeasures, traces, feeding, and network collection.
Shadow game, heavy game.
"Who the hell are you?" "We are not friends, we are enemies."
It's the enemy, what happens? "If he's acting, you can get rid of him."
Here are a few scenes from CCTV's new drama "Top Secret Contest".
We have all watched a lot of spy war dramas, "Wind Chaser" and "Rebel...... But the stories of these dramas basically take place in the Republic of China.
The current masterpiece of urban spy war dramas is still only "Opponent" broadcast by CCTV.
Are there any other good dramas?
Another 23-episode contemporary national security anti-espionage drama will be listed on the prime file of Central One from 0 month 0 at the earliest.
"Top Secret Contest".
Just today, on the National Security Education Day, CCTV also issued a preview of the series, which is really appropriate.
Starring, Zhang Luyi, Gao Yuanyuan.
director, Liu Jiang, who has filmed "Before Dawn".
"Before Dawn" was a spy war drama of the Republic of China, bringing out a burst of novelty.
So this time, can this veteran director of national dramas take the next city for the contemporary national security anti-spy drama?
The story takes place in the contemporary era.
Yang Guang, deputy director of the Third Division of the Yanping State Security Bureau, obtained information during an operation that there was a foreign spy organization that wanted to attack our scientific research experts and steal our secret technology.
Yang Guang sensed that there must be a conspiracy behind it, and led the three places to investigate.
During the investigation, a woman named Zhao Yalai caught Yang Guang's attention.
Her identity and actions are full of mystery and are inextricably linked to the whole affair.
And with the escalation of the incident, Yang Guang was framed by Zhao Yali in the name of gratitude.
Zhao Yali took advantage of the situation to win over Yang Guang as instructed, and Yang Guang took the opportunity to go deep into the tiger's den in the name of being forced to take a vacation, and launched a series of thrilling struggles with the hostile forces behind her.
A game within a game, a plan within a game, who is the prey and who is the hunter?
In a close contest, who will have the last laugh? Who will show the flaw first?
危險與陷阱面前,國安三處如何斬斷陰謀?
Spy on the sea, peel off the cocoon, and a dark war has begun!
After reading the plot introduction of "Top Secret Contest" above, I think many viewers must have thought of "Opponent".
It is also an urban anti-espionage theme, and at the same time a powerful starring, and it is also broadcast on CCTV.
This drama became a dark horse back then, and the most exciting thing was the depiction of enemy agents.
Enemy agents represented by Li Tang (played by Guo Jingfei) and Ding Meixi (played by Tan Zhuo) have been lurking for more than ten years, incarnating as taxi drivers and school teachers to carry out activities.
Because of the shortage of funds for long-term activities, they often need to advance money to engage in spy warfare, and their lives are very miserable.
But this time, the enemy agents made a bloody effort just to frame Yang Guang, and also sent the big beauty played by Gao Yuanyuan to perform beauty tricks.
The angle is completely different from "Opponent", and combined with the trailer, there are at least two major highlights:
The first is the urban spy war.
Judging from the plot, Yang Guang and Zhao Yali from different camps are both involved in a complex whirlpool, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the waves are treacherous. In the dramatic tension of the conflict between friend and foe -
Yang Guang's undercover identity is a thrilling extreme reversal, there is.
Assassinations of the enemy in danger, there is.
There is a tense and fierce life-and-death duel.
Street car chases, dock explosions, gunfights, car crashes, it's all arranged.
There is also Zhang Luyi's high-round double-A confrontation, testing each other with their own purposes, sincerity, doubt, and performance. This kind of evenly matched, double-A game is the only thing that brings feeling.
It can be said that although it is an urban spy war, the look and feel of the drama reminds me of "Before Dawn" directed by Liu Jiang every minute, the drama is full of tension, and it makes people's adrenaline soar.
The second is contemporary counter-espionage.
Undoubtedly, this is also a contemporary anti-espionage drama that stands at the moment and closely follows the situation.
It's just the surface of the story.
What is really digging deep is how contemporary national security counters espionage.
In the play, what kind of "secret" department is national security? How do they carry out their work in the new international situation?
How do enemy spies infiltrate ordinary people?
How should ordinary people raise their awareness of counter-espionage in their daily lives? are all important highlights of the series.
Liu Jiang, the director of "Top Secret Competition", achieved the grand slam of the three major domestic TV awards with a "Let's Get Married" starring Gao Yuanyuan.
is also another director who has won the TV series grand slam in addition to Zheng Xiaolong and Kong Sheng.
But in addition to urban dramas, "Before Dawn" is also his masterpiece.
The creation of suspenseful atmosphere and spy war action scenes are all his forte.
Like his previous works, Liu Jiang's works still have no small fresh meat and no traffic stars.
Zhang Luyi and Liu Jiang's old partner Gao Yuanyuan play the starring roles, coupled with acting schools like Cao Bingkun, Wang Xiaochen, and Cheng Taishen, the lineup is solid enough.
And in this group of actors, if you want to ask me who I am most looking forward to performing, I have 3 choices:
First, Zhang Luyi
Zhang Luyi is of course a recognized acting school. The masterpiece of the domestic spy war drama "Red" is his acting masterpiece.
Wang Miao, played by Zhang Luyi in "The Three-Body Problem", is considered to surpass the character identification of the original book and make the character more vivid.
This time, he played Yang Guang, deputy director of the Third Division of the National Security Bureau, who is an elite of China's security.
As soon as he wore sunglasses and white gloves, the sense of mystery immediately overflowed, and several scenes where he entered the enemy's interior were also played by Zhang Luyi with a sense of suspense.
After "Red", can Zhang Luyi create a new classic role in spy war dramas? It's worth the wait.
Second, high circles
From "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "No. 1 in the World", "Let's Get Married" to Feng Liuliu in the movie "Stop-and-Go" in recent years, the national goddess Gao Yuanyuan has always been unique and charming on the screen.
Liu Jiang asked this old partner to play the mysterious female spy Zhao Yali, and was ordered to frequently test Yang Guang with "beauty tricks", which can be said to be the biggest trick in the casting of this play.
Gao Yuanyuan in the trailer can be described as amorous, Yang Guang doesn't know, I'm fascinated anyway.
This kind of femme fatale seduces the role of a beautiful woman, and only a big beauty like her can be convincing.
There will definitely be viewers who think that Gao Yuanyuan's temperament is too pure and not charming enough, but I think that what the director wants is this sense of contrast.
Judging from the trailer, the character finally became the enemy's outcast, during which the role changed, and Gao Yuanyuan's interpretation was watched.
Third, Cheng Taishen
From "The World", "Circuit Prosecutor" to "The Boy Who Can't See the Shadow", Sung Tae-sun's acting skills should no longer need to be emphasized.
This recognized powerful faction, played James this time, is obviously the leader of the enemy special organization, and in the dim light, he slowly showed a weird smile in the mirror, which made people shudder.
The sentence "If he is acting, you can get rid of him" was said lightly, and it was even more shocking. It is reminiscent of Ning Li's character in "The Opponent".
Cheng Tae-sun's performance is quiet, but after watching it, people inexplicably have a sense of luxury.
Even if the appearance is elegant, it can't hide the fierceness of the eyes.
I hope he can create a new classic villain of contemporary spy war dramas.
In addition, there are also members of the three national security departments played by Wang Xiaochen and Cao Bingkun,
The appearance is simple and unpretentious, but the eyes have the unique alertness of national security personnel.
These real acting schools are the biggest guarantee of the quality of the series.
Finally, let's talk about national security anti-espionage film and television dramas in recent years.
After "Opponent", it is not that there are no new anti-espionage dramas released, and there is no shortage of top acting schools like Liao Fan in the starring roles, but the drama is always one breath away from the fire.
The key behind it is the plot.
The aesthetics of this audience are no longer what they used to be. The story is not enough to have plot tension and suspense.
There must also be plot logic that can justify itself. Especially in a drama like this drama, where good and evil are in the dark war, and the clash and game of multiple forces, the plot must withstand the audience's provocation.
In this regard, the contemporary anti-espionage drama "Agent Mission", which is also a veteran director of national dramas, may be used as a reference.
is broadcast on the CCTV platform, and "Top Secret Contest" already has the conditions to get out of the circle, next, watch the real skills of the series.
In addition to entertainment, the audience follows the drama itself, which is also a vivid national security education lesson.
The common methods of spies exposed in the play, such as bribery, assassination, seduction, etc., can allow the audience to learn relevant national security knowledge in the drama.
Just like "Rivals" makes the audience believe that the enemy may be around us.
The hidden front does not mean that the wind is calm, nor is it without gunsmoke, and there may be "rat people" with evil intentions hidden around us, who use various means to try to steal state secrets, and national security fighters are blocking dangerous killing opportunities in the fog of spying.
This silent spy war also needs the vigilance of every ordinary person.
With the preparation of Zhang Yimou's new national security-themed film "Stunned and Silent", the national security theme is becoming a new hot spot for domestic film and television dramas.
I hope that this CCTV's "Top Secret Contest" will take the lead.
