HBO has a new drama released?
No, this time it's serious.
Domestic "Western Wind" ——
Wolf Hunter
you probably have never seen such a calm Mango Taiwan .
episodes, just eight episodes.

is also rare to be successful.
was broadcast for five days, Douban opened at 8.1, and once rose to 8.2.
Since the day of broadcasting, people have been urging Sir's background.
After all, the lineup really can’t find many problems:
starring, Qin Hao + Yin Fang .
Director, Cao Dun ("Twelve Hours of Chang'an").
episodes are streamlined, the actors are reliable, and the works are textured.
Another main theme light?
However, experienced audiences may see an instability factor.
first press
.
Sir completed six episodes in one go.
Objectively speaking, drama is a good drama, but...
01
good, first of all, the good is narrative.
Sir will take you to see a few shots.
's first shot quickly attracted attention.
"Wolf" refers to poachers.
The characteristics of wolf, group action, waiting for an opportunity to act, once you target animals, you will find an opportunity to bite them.
And poachers are a little more terrifying than wolves.
not only stares at animals, but also humans.
After watching " Keke Xili " by Lu Chuan , you must still be scared of the poachers inside.
is far away, elusive, ignoring the laws and rules, doing illegal business, and having its own armed gang.
Simply put, a group of outlaws .
"Wolf Hunter" begins with a "hunting".
The camera dives from a high altitude, passing through the confrontation sides -
is in the dark, the forest police crawl in the snow, hiding the bunker and observing.
In the morning, a group of poachers following the tracks.
Mantis, cicadas, oriole, waiting for an opportunity to move.
but...
Are you sure who is the oriole?
Two forest police officers had differences before launching the arrest:
One wanted to take the initiative, and the other felt outnumbered and wanted to wait for support.
While hesitating, both sides were already in a battle.
It turns out that there are no calculations and tactics.
only has absolute armed crushing -
The police are outnumbered, one is shot in seventeen, and the other falls in the snow and barely saves his life.
miserable.
is just right.
Domestic dramas, as long as the villain is not mentally retarded, he will basically pass the exam; if the villain dares to kill the police, it must be outside the conventional standards.
What's more, seventeen guns .
In just two minutes, one shot straight into the sky -
The wilderness of the border, the violent human nature, and the lightness of life, form the most dazzling blood color in this snow.
The police who survived was called Wei Jiang (played by Qin Hao).
5 years later, he got a new nickname, "Wei Baliang".
means that the daily standard is 800 wine.
Put down the hunting rifle, unshaven, wearing a torn coat, and the house is filled with bottles and jars.
Posts have also changed -
From hunting wolves to forest protection.
lives in a small bag at the foot of the mountain and spends his days in a daze.
in terms of image, it is a good idea to be in a down-and-out manner.
frustration is revealed from the details:
break into the banquet and skillfully pick up wine and cigarettes.
A friend next to him told him that a policeman was lost in the forest.
Wei Jiang's cigarette movements did not stop at all.
My friend said again, don’t you look for it within the area under your jurisdiction?
continues, looking like I am.
Until a friend said that if you find this policeman, will have a bonus .
Only then did Wei Jiang react on his face.
-How much?
-Enough for you to make money for a year
000 is more important than people.
In less than ten minutes, the character's predecessor and transformation will be paved.
" Wolf Hunter " did not want heroic narratives from the beginning, but instead revealed the character's flaws first.
The lost little policeman is Qin Chuan (played by Yin Fang).
is precisely tied.
He met poachers on the mountain, with four people on the other side, three of whom had guns.
The little policeman with bare hands is not only not panic, but also fights head-on at any time.
was rescued by Wei Jiang who came to find someone at night. He was still stubbornly unwilling to leave, and he was determined to catch the poacher.
typical young man.
story and the two sides of the fight quickly stood on the stage.
On the one hand, there is a forest ranger who wants to stay out of the matter and a reckless little policeman.
On the other side is a gang of poachers with online means and IQ.
The wolf men finally showed their faces.
A look and an action, and the fierce image deepens exponentially:
The employer who spent money to hire them to hunt could not catch prey after going up the mountain for a long time.
started to whisper.
Wolves are bloodthirsty, while wolfs are bloodthirsty and more "money-loving".
has two words, and they absolutely cannot listen to it:
"You don't want to take a penny."
Hum? yuan?
eyes become cruel in one second.
"What are you looking at, kill me!"
Hum? dead?
people fell down instantly.
killing is not surprising, it is seen that reacts after killing .
The employer scolded Lao Qi, the fifth shot, and the third said.
As soon as you open your mouth, you will blame it. Will
be the first?
Fine clothes can't be worn
Note an important information: this group of people are the ones who killed Wei Jiang's partner at the beginning.
characters are explained one by one and the layout is completed.
It has to be said that the narrative of "Wolf Hunter" is efficient enough.
02
Secondly, fortunately, tension .
moves without leaving a breathing action scene.
Both sides chase each other in the forest.
The props used along the way are both animal traps and large pieces of rotten wood pushed down.
doesn't just come up, but it's never ambiguous when you touch it.
gun battle is about to break out, and the fight is fist-to-hand.
There are even official complaints about the protagonist's halo, the per capita stroke master.
Why can't you two fight with each other? It's
It calmed down, and it was full of suspense that was full of terrifying.
Wei Jiang and Qin Chuan were chasing the poachers, passing by the herder Lao Yi’s home.
Lao Yi is not at home, there is only a stranger who helps to see the house, claiming to be Lao Yi's friend Lao Liu ( Yu Ailei decoration).
is suspicious, but he dare not easily reveal his suspicion.
Look at what they do:
Take the opportunity to go into the house to check it out on the grounds of staying.
Sure enough, something was wrong everywhere -
The leftovers on the table were not cleaned up; a broken window; there were still porcelain fragments on the ground...
further took the initiative:
took out the cigarette and stared at the other party.
"Brother, borrow a fire?"
The other party pointed back casually, but he didn't dare to meet his eyes.
, it's a matter of suspicion.
For hunters, this is enough.
Lao Yi has a rule: Don’t let people smoke in the house
Don’t you know?
Tested and straight to the point.
-What does it mean
-What do you think I mean
-You think I am a thief
- Then what are you?
Do you think the other party is scared?
directly "demonstrate" his identity in the next second.
Self-destruction, there must be the confidence to dare to self-destruction.
That is to say - wolf pack has already quietly approached.
stops, Sir will not spoil it.
In fact, the inside of the wolf pack is not stable.
A dinner party revealed the faces of poachers one by one:
Smile Tiger , which is inclined to the point of being in danger.
reckless person who is strong outside and fucks in the middle.
Simple-minded second-hand man.
The silent Yin Knife.
There is no line on the dining table, and one action is redundant.
Two or three scenes, and several villains are portrayed in place.
In addition to important roles, even if it is just a supporting role who appears a few times, there are still details.
At the beginning, a herder asked the down-and-out Wei Jiang to collect debts, which is Lao Yi.
There is no greeting or explanation in the play, but the horse intestine on the motorcycle was given a few seconds to the scene.
Why?
1, he is not sincerely asking for debt.
2, corresponding to Wei Jiang later said that this was Lao Yi’s treasure, and he was here to care about Wei Jiang as a friend.
The true nature of the herdsman and the relationship between the two are all indescribable. If you don't look back and brush it twice, you may not find any details.
This is the contrast created by "Wolf Hunter" in secret -
When moving, it is wild and ostentatious, calm and delicate when quiet.
03
After praising so much, it can be seen that Sir still prefers this drama.
is in the current environment after all.
can make such a refined short drama, a criminal drama that does not treat the audience as fools, it is not easy.
But because of this, Sir has to say sincerely...
What a pity.
It’s a pity that it’s in the rhythm.
This has always been the "unstable factor" for director Cao Dun.
positive demonstration, " Chang'an Twelve Hours ".
expands "24 Hours in Chang'an City" into a maze of stories with 48 episodes, nine-turn and eighteen-turn stories.
's highly dense amount of information allows Chinese drama audiences to enjoy an "immersive" brain-burning investigation in addition to the exaggeration and blood that can be seen everywhere.
, " Jiuzhou·Maritime Mu Yun Ji ".
details are still online.
, the stunning preview of the first fourteen minutes was completely wiped out by more than seventy episodes. The weakness of the script
has made the narrative become a shame for the superficial beauty.
"Wolf Hunter" has only eight episodes.
Sir is of course happy to see more high-quality short dramas appear in the domestic market.
But this attempt also exposed the inappropriate adaptation of Chinese dramas to short drama forms .
Director Cao changed his past style and simplified the complexity.
But, it's too simple.
result instead compresses the entire story telling space and makes all the characters thin.
All the characters that appear in the play are basically divided into two factions:
The decent faction is basically all family members or friends of the dead police.
The characters are all different. In summary, they are all Wei Jiang’s process of recalling, repenting, awakening, and commitment.
The villain only has poachers or the family members of the poachers (all of them are still the same gang).
To put it bluntly -
Outside the main line of revenge, the story does not radiate enough human diversity and value differences.
The upright person is too upright, the villain is too rebellious, and the content is shriveled. The trend of short dramas in
is the quality of domestic dramas.
But if you don’t cut the episode half and simplify it, you can be called a high-quality product.
Take the two best movies last year as an example.
" The Truth of Silence ".
The essence is in, the cutting point is small and the landing point is large.
starts with a suitcase containing a body.
The murderer quickly surrendered himself.
quickly accidentally re-examined his confession in court, caught him off guard.
One case has not been resolved, and many cases have occurred again.
The police found a wrongful case many years ago from a body, implicating several parties, and then connected the incident step by step to lead to the truth.
Their motivations, techniques and obsessions are different.
is like the scene where Xiao Qian cleanses the river god in "Spiritual Away".
was just a raised ring at first.
, it turned out to be a bicycle.
pulls again, and the heavy and dark reality surges.
Another movie, " Secret Corner ".
is in essence, sounds east and west.
surface main line, the murderer and several witnesses against the two sides.
The line of God is the spread and transmission of good and evil.
km0km is just a wedge.
Whether it is Zhang Dongsheng who wants to take you to climb a mountain, or the "bad child" Zhu Chaoyang, Yan Liang , and Pupu, they have gradually slipped into a disorderly and collapsed life, which is the core of the drama.
The truth is the destination.
You can go to the destination, and each character exposes his or her own evil thoughts, and then use these evil thoughts to wove a secret and unbreakable net.
is the scenery.
And "Wolf Hunter" throws out the main contradiction from the beginning, and it is a conflict of the same nature from the beginning to the end.
details are inlaid with gold edges, but the whole thing is like a straight hemp rope.
What's more, it is a battle between good and evil with a determined victory or defeat.
process just puts small obstacles on the protagonists' path.
There are no twists and turns, and there are no surprises.
Overall, Sir encourages the courage and sincerity of "Wolf Hunter".
But the road to becoming a masterpiece of Chinese drama is only a hot-headed charge.
is far from enough.
