The plot of "Sweeping the Black Storm" is controversial, and the word of mouth is declining. Several loopholes are big bugs.
The hit drama "Sweeping the Black Storm" has aroused a high degree of discussion since it was broadcast. Sun Honglei, LAY, Liu Yijun, WangZhifei, Liu Zhibing and many other veteran actors took the seat, and directed 500 directors from Sisyphus. The production line-up is not strong.

The play is based on a real case. The story tells that Li Chengyang, a frontline policeman, was suppressed by evil forces and umbrellas. After the command and leadership of the central government, Li Chengyang, Lin Hao, He Yong and others jointly attacked to find out the truth. After many twists and turns, the small team joined forces with all departments of the Public Security Department and finally eradicated the local evil forces and umbrella companies, revealing the secrets hidden behind the scenes for many years.

At present, the douban score of this drama is 7.7, and the overall reputation is good. However, some people think that the plot is high and low, and the more you look back, the more disappointed you are. At the same time, there are several bugs.

Logical loopholes are one of the important factors that drag down drama criticism.For example, Xue Mei wanted to vindicate her husband, Mai Zili, and identified Ma Shuai as a murderer. Obviously, there are many ways to appeal, and telephone, text message and email can convey the news in the first time, but Xue Mei used the most incredible one — — — Intercept the supervision team halfway.

Besides, the supervision team has been investigating Mai Zili’s case and sent He Yong to assist in the investigation. Why didn’t He Yong protect Xue Mei in advance? This opening is really puzzling.
If Ma Shuai, the murderer behind Mai Zi’s case, wants to run for his life, he will surely run away and even flee abroad. Unexpectedly, however, Ma Shuai came to the local detention center. Who is suspicious of eating and drinking every day? He wanted to escape by breaking his finger, but Li Chengyang caught him at a glance. He revealed to Li Chengyang that he had something to do with the murder case 14 years ago and eventually ruined his life.

As the only daughter of Mai Zili and Xue Mei, according to common sense, Mai Jia should have more information about her parents. However, the plot did not take Mai Jia as a breakthrough, and it can even be said that the role of this clue character was ignored from the beginning. The central supervision team can clearly get information from Mai Jia first, and then make an unannounced visit on the spot, but it just selectively ignores this figure.

At the same time,The leading role in the play is uneven, and the more you chase, the more you play.. Liu Yijun, wuyue, WangZhifei and Liu Zhibing are all well-known middle-aged powerful actors, and their works are excellent, and their reputation is guaranteed.
WangZhifei plays Gao Mingyuan, the villain. In a few words, he outlines the insidious and malicious calendar of the characters in detail, and his lines are profound, and he really does what he plays. Wuyue plays He Yun, director of the anti-gang office, which is a brilliant role, but there are not many shots and limited characterization.

Acting is the biggest controversy surrounding Sun Honglei.He has acted in classic works such as Latency, The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes, Drug War, etc. This time, he has played steadily as always in Sweeping the Black Storm. The fly in the ointment is that Sun Honglei didn’t grasp the characters’ personalities, for example, he often laughed inexplicably and lacked a sense of proportion to the roles.

As for LAY and Jiang Shuying, two young actors, it is obvious that there is still a long way to go compared with their predecessors, and their acting skills are a bit crude.
There are also irrationalities in these two characters. Generally speaking, the clerks will only act in a low-key manner when investigating cases. The more fanfare, the faster the news spreads, and the more difficult it is to clean up the situation. Lin Hao, played by LAY, went straight to the nightclub scene, but almost didn’t write "I want to investigate the case" on his face.

Huang Xi, an investigative reporter played by Jiang Shuying, is also in constant trouble. She sneaked into the beautiful loan lair and tried to take evidence with her watch, but the result was almost exposed. Fortunately, Lin Hao arrived in time to rescue her, but the watch was handed in as evidence.

She just chased Lin Hao to the police station to make a sum of money, and her haggling style was quite different from the audience’s impression of the reporter.
In addition, as He Yun’s niece, Huang Xi often meets He Yun, and the relationship must be good. Lin Hao is He Yun’s adopted son. It is impossible for Huang Xi not to know Lin Hao. However, this is not explained in the play. Instead, the two talents got acquainted after the beautiful loan.

Huang Xi and He Yun, as one of the few female characters in the play, don’t have many scenes, and they are not brilliant. It feels like going through the motions, but there is no bright spot after watching them.
The coherence of editing is not good, and there is a jump between plays, such as the eighth and ninth episodes, which makes people doubt that the plot is flooded. There is no clear explanation about how the evil forces collude with local officials, such as anti-mafia.
In addition, the control of rhythm is not very good. It is obvious that a few words can explain the internal contradictions of the new Shuai Group, but it is too long and redundant to say more than half an episode.
Even so, Sweeping the Black Storm is still an excellent work. The twists and turns of the story are bizarre, and it can always reveal the deep secrets behind human nature by surprise.

The cases in it are also taken from real cases, such as Sun Xiaoguo’s case, the case of burying a corpse in the playground, Hunan Wenliehong’s triad-related case, and Hainan Huanghongfa’s case, all of which are involved in the play.
Of course, the arrest of key figures is very popular, and the mutual temptation and secret contest between the forces in the investigation are rare highlights. Local officials are connected, forming an impenetrable umbrella for the evil forces. In the face of questions from the central supervision team, they have to be careful again and again, and they have to consider their words and expressions. The drama is also frightening.
Although compared with in the name of people, Sweeping the Black Storm has some loopholes that can’t be ignored, on the whole, it is still the best film of its kind.
