Relying on last year's "hidden corners" and silent truth, iQiyi's Mist Theater is one of the few people who have been recognized by many long-form video theatricalization attempts, and seems to have become the "hope of the whole village" of domestic opera.
It is reported that there is no original novel in this drama, inspired by an idea of Wang Xiaoshuai - "a case that has not been resolved for many years has a profound impact on the family".
The texture is frivolous to cheap, matching the idol lineup, but doomed to fail to catch up with the good things of the original Mist Theater audience.
The situation of long videos this year is obvious.
In the unsolved case 19 years ago, in the context of a story, 19 years later, when the adult Xuan Nianmei resembled his dead aunt, an old case that had not been resolved by the Xuan family for many years surfaced.
In fact, as early as 2017, with the reputation of the three works of "White Night Hunt", "Undocumented Crime" and "River God" peaking, the possibility of domestic suspense theme production explosions took another step.
But regrettably, the "lack of suspense and the core of family drama" approach disappointed a large part of the audience.
The popularity of the premiere of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Smoke" soared, but unfortunately, starting from the "mysterious shadow", the market's expectations for the "Mist Theater" will be temporarily reduced.
Compared with the suspense themes of the past, this suspicious short drama is more cinematic quality: film actor Duan Yihong was the first producer and invited many word-of-mouth movie "behind-the-scenes characters" to join "Blizzard Approaching", "Daytime Fireworks", movies, "Eight Hundred", "Cracked Silent", "Long Days", etc.
The two were unexpectedly embroiled in twenty-six years of discontent... They unexpectedly participate in a tragic entanglement... "Double Detective" reveals the secrets of human nature to the audience.
At the same time as the "double detective" reputation exploded, the broadcast market for the show was slightly sluggish: with only 12,000 scores on Douban, professional data platforms such as Maoyan (such as Lighthouse, Bone, and Detavin) have been hovering outside the list of episodes, and until today they appear in the top 5 lists of bone network TV series.
Cinematic quality, double-line narrative, "double exploration" is good to look at but "difficult to understand".
The complexity, uncertainty, and loneliness behind the characters are incredible; the professional special and personal upbringing experiences of the prisoners led by the travels also create this socially marginal character.
For example, the iQIYI "Mist Theater" mentioned in the previous article produced "Secret Corner", "Silent Truth", and even "Skyscraper" played before Tencent Video raised the threshold for the creation of works of this genre.
