Recently, "Simple Summer and Winter" starring Zhu Yawen and Wan Qian was launched.

In order to create more highlights, urban dramas will continue to superimpose various elements, and repeatedly jump between different types of dramas. "Summer and Winter in Brief" is such a work.
The commercial war games in the play are still climaxing, and the love scenes are also quite interesting. The double-strength setting of the male and female protagonists is enough to watch, but the suspension problems of urban dramas are still obvious.
Urban dramas continue to pursue the superposition of genre elements and the accumulation of highlights, which does not add points to its quality.
"Briefly Xia Dong" is adapted from the novel "The Family Conspiracy of the Secret Investigator". It tells about the professionals represented by Xia Dong, senior business investigator of Oxun Group, and Jian Yan, senior investigator, who are committed to eliminating commercial fraud and protecting A series of stories of ups and downs in corporate integrity.
There are many cases of commercial fraud involved in the play, and investigators such as Xia Dong and Jian Yan believe in the principle of "business has its own way" and expose commercial frauds one by one through commissioned projects to remove the dirt.
The fast-paced commercial game plot in the first few episodes of the play is very eye-catching. Through a complex and entangled acquisition case, all the characters on each line are drawn out, and the complex background and people of each character are also explained. Assume.
Through this business case, we can see the screenwriter's efforts in weaving business and game scenes.
At the beginning of the play, Matthew, the leader of the Tokyo branch of Ou Xun Group, is about to be investigated because of the leak. The computer of Xia Dong, an employee of the company, forged evidence of Xia Dong's leaks, and transferred all the leaks to Xia Dong.
However, it was Jian Yan who reported Matthew. She had already recognized the essence of Matthew, and cooperated with Matthew's instructions in the open, and secretly cooperated with Xia Dong.
Xia Dong is playing a bigger game. He and Jian Yan joined forces to obtain Matthew's leaked information, trying to bring down Matthew and the business bigwig behind him, and through business investigation reports, he made more than ten revenge. Years of business bigwigs and speculators suffered heavy losses.
The first case at the beginning of the play is very fast-paced, which leads to the hatred of Xia Dong, played by Zhu Yawen.
Another branch in the acquisition case leads to the Lin family behind Lin Junwen played by Yuan Wenkang and his house fight scenes.
After Jian Yan quit his job in the Tokyo branch and joined the Shanghai branch, he also brought out the workplace scenes of the Shanghai branch, as well as the love scenes with Xia Dong.
The suspenseful part of the play is mainly reflected in the complex and dangerous business investigation scenes. In order to complete the tasks of the client, the "investigator" will carry out various investigation activities with a relatively high risk factor.
The love scenes of the male and female protagonists in "Jian Yan's Xia Dong" are still a lot to watch. They are also capable and old-fashioned investigators. Xia Dong and Jian Yan changed from peers and opponents to partners and confidants, until the process of love. Being placed in the adult workplace, it is full of frank and active mature love charm.
But the show's love scenes are full of routines.
In order to anger Susan, the boss of the Shanghai company who does not allow office romance, Xia Dong and Jian Yan "pretend to be a couple". Jian Yan also lives at Xia Dong's mother's house because of renting a house. Xia Dong's mother spares no effort to match the two to fall in love.
Too many coincidences, all routines.
This drama describes the business and workplace, involving stocks, trade secrets, industry rivals, etc. The ingenious start is very eye-catching, but after the first few episodes, it begins to suffer from the common problems of domestic urban workplace dramas. Slower down, and the scenes are dominated by love scenes, polyamorous love, etc.
The screenwriter has the ability to write business war games, but after completing a beautiful beginning that combines various elements, he diluted the plot of the business war and began to inject water with emotional drama.
Fortunately, in the following plot, actors such as Zhu Yawen, Wan Qian, Yuan Wenkang stabilized the audience with their acting skills. If these leading actors let the audience play again, this drama is likely to become a bad drama.
Xia Dong, played by Zhu Yawen, is obsessed with revenge and bears a heavy life. The actor acts calm and composed, and always looks unpredictable. This state is in line with the character's occupation, and the role is not simple and childish.
Wan Qian's Jian Yan, although Shuangshang is online, the character itself is very simple, and it is not easy to grasp this degree. Wan Qian plays this 29-year-old professional elite, and she has a good grasp.
Characters such as business background investigators and anti-fraud investigators are set in urban dramas that focus on niche industries. The stories of commercial fraud cases in the drama are also very exciting, but unfortunately, in order to cater to the audience of the TV series, the later plots are released. Slowing down the pace and diluting the tension of business battles.
This script is an urban drama with a novel theme, and the fusion of various elements has also been done well, but the whole is still shot according to the method of urban emotional drama. urban drama style.
Moreover, some props in the play, such as emails, documents, etc., are perfunctory and scribbled, which is very earthy and reduces the audience's favorable impression of the play.
As investigators, the characters in the play are omnipotent in checking resumes, real estate, consumption, phone calls, travel and other information of the subjects of investigation, and carry out "detection" in the sky, which makes the characters lose their sense of reality.
All these factors give the play a strong sense of suspended urban drama.
For such novel themes, if the plot is highly focused on commercial games and the shooting techniques are more diversified, it may be a rare textured drama.
Urban workplace dramas are getting more and more gorgeous, and the themes are getting more and more novel and different, but they always give people the feeling that they have found fresh, diverse and even bizarre ingredients, but they can't make a good meal.
The creator has obtained a novel theme, such as the business surveyor industry, and also has relevant case materials, and can also incorporate elements and highlights such as suspense, revenge, and house fighting, but they do not dare to really break through the framework to make a pure type drama or Pure workplace dramas must be made into insurance and safe urban romance workplace dramas.
Moreover, this popular urban love workplace drama has a strong and flashy sense of suspension, and on the whole it is nondescript, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon.
