What is the charm of "Hurricane" at the beginning of the year?

　　Chinanews.com, Beijing, January 30th (Reporter Gao Kai) Almost every plot node has appeared on the hot search and caused heated discussions. Many characters are familiar to the audience. "Hurricane" is undoubtedly the hottest outing in 2023 episodes.

　　Since its launch on January 14, the popularity of the show has been rising all the way. Not only did it break 11,000 on iQIYI, breaking the highest record in the history of the station's popularity list, but it also scored 9.1 on Douban, far ahead in all aspects.

　　"Hurricane" is about to come to an end recently. As a 39-episode anti-crime and evil-themed work, the show has gone high and high, attracting the enthusiasm of audiences of all ages with its solid and tense plot. Its charm The source deserves attention.

　　The screenplay story comes first.

In "Hurricane", the creator selected three time nodes in 2000, 2006, and 2021, cut into three time and space contexts, and borrowed the lives of two characters, the criminal policeman An Xin (played by Zhang Yi) and the evil force Gao Qiqiang (played by Zhang Songwen) The trajectory shows a story of a fight against crime and evil that spanned 20 years.

　　"Hurricane" is an anti-routine. In the huge narrative intersecting forward and backward, the fate of the characters drives the development of the plot.

In the play, the initial fate of the two protagonists is intertwined, full of life quality and warmth of humanity, and as the plot unfolds, the two gradually drift away in the cross collision, and the drama tension is full.

Under such a main line, the drama breaks through the simple imagination in some related types of works, reveals the social ecology and human alienation behind the formation of the black forces, and depicts the real picture of eradicating evil.

　　In this work with the theme of eradicating evil, the creator did not focus on rendering "black and evil" with violent scenes, but focused on exploring the nodes of alienation of human nature in the social gap.

Under such a setting, in a series of anti-crime and evil-themed dramas, the audience not only saw the police's persistence and pursuit of justice, but also saw the growth history of the underworld forces, and thus better understood the former.

　　"This time when I talk about anti-crime, I hope to use two characters to outline why the evil forces arise, why they can rise and magnify, and then explain why it is necessary to eradicate evil and why it must be normalized." The film director Xu Jizhou once said.

　　Bold yet delicate is another feature of "Hurricane". From "Old Factory Street" and "Food Market" to "Intestinal Fun" and "Pig Knuckle Noodles", although the real area is intentionally blurred, the details in the play still successfully capture the audience's attention. Bringing real life aesthetics, these daily details can easily arouse a certain sense of identity from the audience, and then blend into the character plot.

　　On top of the story, the successful shaping of the characters further highlights the charm of "Hurricane".

　　First of all, there are two protagonists who affect the progress of the whole play.

An Xin and Gao Qiqiang are fresh and active characters, and they can be said to be outstanding in dramas of similar themes.

　　Xu Jizhou once said, "The characteristics of the characters are naturally closely related to the era of the region. I hope that I can not only portray this villain, but also photograph his relationship with the background of the times and the social soil. This is of social significance." In the eyes of the audience, Gao Qiqiang's beginning in the play is the real life of a small person, and it is easy to have a sense of substitution. In the collision with An Xin's fate, he felt the warmth of human nature, and also felt the power of power in the blunders. Power, and then finally, was bound by desire, and finally embarked on the road of no return.

　　In comparison, as a pure idealist, An Xin may not be as dramatic as Gao Qiqiang, but it is the successful presentation of his inner ideological power that gives the plot the real impetus to move forward.

Spanning 20 years, from a young policeman with a dream who is slightly "stunned", to a "fringe" man with white hair and "slick" and cautious police station, under Zhang Yi's interpretation, the behavior of this core character is clear and emotional. It is always abundant, and at the same time, the ubiquitous quality of life in the handling of character details allows the "soul" of the characters to land, which makes it easy for the audience to empathize.

　　In addition to the outstanding performance of the two leading actors, as a group drama, almost every main character in "Hurricane" has a unique charm that can impress the audience.

The creators abandon flat black-and-white depictions, and focus on each character's own ecology in the play, so that the audience can feel its true and credible existence at different entry points in time and space.

　　From the innovation of story setting and narrative techniques, to the vivid portrayal of each character, to the deep excavation and thinking of the subject matter, for "Hurricane", the "good-looking" appeal of the entire series finally appeared , perhaps it is due to the creator's all-round sincerity to the work.

The play not only reproduces the harshness and complexity of the special struggle of "sweeping black and evil", but also depicts the unique characters and life experiences in a realistic way, reflects real life in different ways, and finally uses the spirit of justice for good Seek to resonate with the audience.

Persevere to the end for ideals, and go crazy forever for justice. The spiritual core conveyed to the audience by "Hurricane" is straightforward and powerful.
