Yang Mi was boycotted again, and this unpopular drama was also held back by her
Falling in love with a workplace shell is a common problem in many domestic industry dramas. Such works always ignore the basic principles of laying the groundwork for details and then talking about plot changes.
Another drama about the working life of state security personnel has sparked heated debate – "Eye of the Storm".
Yang Mi + Urban Anti-Spy, it is difficult not to worry the audience about the performance of this unpopular new work. The rating of Douban 6.1 also shows the game between the popularity of actors and the quality of works in the streaming media era.
This article contains spoilers.

As the head of the investigation department of the National Security Bureau of Shuangqing City, a quiet life is not quiet at all.
The National Security Bureau of Shuangqing City received intelligence that commercial spies were preparing to infiltrate secretly.
Time is tight and the task is heavy. In the huge monitoring center, the quiet in professional attire began to invest in the intensive control and investigation.
Although they knew that the commercial spy was nicknamed "Explosive", the specific intelligence did not clarify the purpose of his trip, and the quiet group kept their nerves on edge at all times.
From the moment he got off the plane, "Blaster" Chen Can showed a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness.
Driving to change lanes frequently, then driving into a shopping mall near the subway, changing your gait when taking the subway, it looks like a cunning opponent.
Of course, in the face of Chen Can, the four action teams quietly led also showed the excellent professional ability of the national security personnel.
Before the start of the operation, the team leaders briefed each other on the table and the operation, and the division of labor was clearly followed at airports, highways, and shopping malls.
However, Chen Can finally used the subway to hide in the crowd, mobilized the Heavenly Eye system to find the quiet of the spy, but still lost the other party’s whereabouts.
If the operation failed, it was inevitable that they would receive training, but Quiet argued for some doubts: Since he had known that the "Blaster" was going to enter, why was the entire operation so temporary and hasty?
The leaders of the city bureau finally told the truth after the operation was over.
The target of the "Blaster" entering the country is DS ore, a controlled resource used for precision guidance. Once it is controlled by those who are plotting, the country will lose its strategic initiative.
The provincial government had long been aware of the whereabouts of the "Blaster", and tracked him to Shuangqing City to make Chen Can relax his vigilance through a "cat and mouse game", so that he could lure out the real buyer of the behind-the-scenes transaction.
As early as when he boarded the plane, Ma Shang, a national security elite sent by the provincial government, had already sprinkled a liquid radioactive isotope tracking device on Chen Can. This tracking technology could quickly lock onto the target within 300 meters, providing important information for the national security personnel.
This also means that the quiet of the university love and Ma Shang will reunite due to the "Storm Eye" operation to track down the DS transaction, and start a complex investigation and emotional entanglement.

Whether it is a spy drama with a sense of age or a spy movie depicting a handsome agent, they all tend to emphasize plot reversal. "Storm Eye" also creates tension through light and dark lines.
At the beginning of the pursuit of Chen Can, the quiet party was a bright line, which not only showed the daily work of the national security personnel, but also created a step-by-step arrest atmosphere.
On the other hand, Ma Shang was the dark line. He disguised his identity to contact Chen Can, and skillfully installed the tracking device to achieve the purpose of fishing for big fish.
Subsequent development, quiet and Ma Shang have become almost synonymous with the interaction of light and dark.
Apparently, Chen Can’s arrest alerted the DS buyer, so Quiet began a public investigation.
DS ore is mostly owned by the city’s most famous company, Dinghua, and its founder, Miao Huanyang, is also a well-known entrepreneur, but recently the ore is flowing into a small company owned by his future son-in-law, Jia Changan.
Quiet led a team to check the DS ore reserves many times. Unexpectedly, Jia Changan "committed suicide" in a few days.
The conversion of economic cases to criminal cases indicates that there are indeed many interest groups involved in DS ore.
In order to find out the case as soon as possible, in addition to quickly analyzing all the information obtained by public means, the "Storm Eye" operation also laid out a dark line – sending Ma Shang to Dinghua to apply for a personnel supervisor.
It was not easy for him to "descend from the sky". In order to enter Dinghua logically, Ma Shang, who had been hiding his real work from his family, lied to his father that he was going to return to work in Shuangqing, which made his father, who was not good at worldly sophistication, help him use his personal connections with Miao Huanyang.
However, before Ma Shang joined Dinghua, he was in opposition to other factions in the company because of the competition for this position.
This means that while Ma Shang is looking for clues and identifying the identity of the undercover, he also has to solve various workplace problems and face no small test.
As Quiet and Ma Shang dug out the truth bit by bit, a multinational commercial espionage organization slowly emerged. They used disguise techniques, beauty schemes, and other means to seize scarce resources for their own benefit.
Under the strong pressure of this mysterious organization, Dinghua’s insiders became undercover agents and gradually walked towards the abyss of crime.
And the national security personnel who have traveled to various battlefields have worked tirelessly to contend with them and complete their hidden and great sacred duties.

Showing the normal work of national security personnel is the most unique setting of "Storm Eye".
In real life, these unsung heroes often hide in unexpected detection lines, and even the martyrs who died are not publicly identified. Most people even live incognito in peacetime.
Like the quiet that has been troubled by the case several times, even when I go home and enjoy mother-daughter time with my mother, I am always unable to express my stress and confusion to my mother due to disciplinary requirements.
In order to avoid this embarrassment, the male protagonist Ma Shang directly chose to hide the truth from his parents.
They do their best for national security, but they also sacrifice their emotions for their mission. They seem to be able to play a lot of people, but they rarely have the opportunity to be themselves.
In addition to each living individual, "Storm Eye" also showcases many unexpected high-tech methods. Criminals can steal all the information by simply placing a teacup next to the computer, while the ever-advancing eye technology has become a versatile helper for hunting and arming.
Unfortunately, even if "Storm Eye" takes over the burden of veteran national security dramas such as "In Silent Place" and "State Secrets", and upgrades the content with a sense of technology for this profession, the casting does hold back.
Although you can see Yang Mi’s efforts in fighting seriously, the original sound lines are too blunt and the expression changes in acting are less, which makes Quiet no different from the "tool man" Tu Ling in "Assassination Novelist".
It seems that in order to make the stars better business, "Storm Eye", which has partially deleted the male and female main love lines, will still increase the plot of rekindling old feelings in the process of solving the case. There is publicity, but it is often unrelated to the main line and very disconnected.
The novelty and immaturity of "Eye of the Storm" prove that the national security theme is a niche field worthy of creators to explore, but if we want to create our own "Homeland Security", it is not enough to rely solely on high-tech and the characteristics of the times. How to balance traditional love and professional characteristics and choose actors suitable for the drama style is still a problem that the director needs to ponder carefully.
After all, the audience’s eyes are sharp, and every detail and every breakthrough will be rewarded with good word of mouth.
