The third part of the "Misty Theater" that crosses the passing line will be completed, and there is a high probability that many people will feel that it is a bad end, at least there are not too many surprises and reversals, and even to some extent break the law of detective fiction "The murderer must be the person who appears at the beginning". Is this show worth watching?

I don't know how many blades the screenwriters of "Misty Theater" received this year. The third part is also the one with the loudest voice, the most discussion and the highest rating at present, and even so, it has only obtained a mediocre 7 points, which is completely different from the "Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth" that let the whole network be dominated by suspense last year. Because of this series, the audience re-believed in the quality of chinese drama, and ignited hope and confidence in self-made dramas, but also with higher expectations and aesthetic requirements. The director of the water, the casual flow, the plot that does not go out of mind, these hughes will fool the audience again.
No, some viewers who usually do not watch domestic idol dramas and costume dramas have found a new Zhao Liying in "Who is the Murderer". Zhao Liying played the psychologist Shen Yu in the play, a role that is still elusive, and she actually supported her, and she was no less than xiao Yang and Dong Zijian in front of the two acting schools, but it was not like the original Mary Sue god Hua Qianbone.
"Who is the Murderer" tells the story of a serial murder case that occurred in haizhou city, a small city in the fourth-tier city in the south, and after the truth was sealed for seventeen years, people who were inextricably linked to this unsolved case waited for the truth to surface in their own ulterior secrets.
Shen Yu, played by Zhao Liying, did not appear until the third episode, and as soon as he appeared, he gave people a feeling that it was not simple. She no longer forcibly plays a girl who is quite different from her own age, but plays a mature woman in her true colors, exuding coldness, calculation and deep thoughts in rational restraint.
She has been a bully since she was a child, living with her father. Her father, a local doctor, disappeared overnight... Shen Yu grew up in a lonely and difficult environment for many years, and has been trying to find her father, but there has been no result, until the "Haizhou case" has re-emerged, the old people of that year have been reunited, and she has to be involved.
This is a more complex character with a two-sided life, on the one hand she is an empathetic and approachable psychologist, while on the other hand, she is with a hacker master searching for her missing father and trying to find out the truth of the year, or trying to cover up the truth of the year.
Looking back at Zhao Liying's previous works, from "Qingyunzhi", "Flowers and Bones" to "The Biography of Chu Qiao" and "Youfei", all of these out of the circle are the characters of the ancient doll small flower type, they are either sweet and innocent, or sassy women, and their lives, stories and experiences all make the characters appear more "flat" on a straight development path.
Zhao Liying's performance this time was highly anticipated before the drama was broadcast, and now it has achieved the expected effect. Regardless of whether she will completely transform into a more realistic style, after this time, the impression of ordinary audiences on her will certainly not only stay in the positioning of ancient dolls and flowers. How 30+ women should break through their previous comfort zone and the inherent image in the eyes of others, Zhao Liying made a good demonstration.
Of course, in addition to her, there are actually some actresses who debuted in ancient puppets or idol dramas, not satisfied with such performances, but constantly seeking a larger stage and more challenges.
Later, Ma Yili accumulated step by step through "Struggle", which tells the story of young people's work, friendship and love, and the historical adaptation of the main drama "Qiao Family Compound", and successively took over the "Chinese-style Relationship" and "Beishang Guangdong Do Not Believe in Tears" these particularly recognizable plays. Then "The First Half of My Life" allowed her to completely enter the realm of free performance, and also made her a well-deserved powerful heroine. Looking forward to her performance in "Blossoms".
And Song Zu'er, who was born as a child star, also contributed eye-catching acting skills in "Children of the Qiao Family" this year. In her early twenties, she portrayed the various situations and emotions of women who were cheated on after marriage, which were convincing.
Prior to this, her most out-of-the-loop performance also came from the picture of Xiao Nezha confronting everyone in "Baolian Lantern Prequel" when she was 6 years old, and then let people have some acting memory points until the time of the broadcast of "Kyushu Muyi" in 2019, and the "overbearing" county lord she played was beautiful and circle fans. At first, the role of Qiao Simei still made people think that this was too similar to her previous eccentric image, but the more she looked back, the more she could see the growth trajectory and obsession of this character. What kind of step will she take in her next play?
Even the legendary film queen Maggie Cheung did not take this path at all. She entered the entertainment industry because she won the runner-up and the most photogenic miss in the "Miss Hong Kong contest", and debuted on the big screen with "The Frog Prince". In the 1980s, she starred in a large number of TV series and movies, in which the roles were basically "vases". If Maggie Cheung thinks it's so good to be so simple in front of the camera, then we may not see "Sweet Honey", "Ruan Lingyu", "Fancy Years", an actress who has won the Golden Horse Film three times.
She struggled to break free from the original identity of "vase", successfully starring in Yang Fan's "Flowing Golden Years", Zhang Jianting's "Bride over the port" and Wong Kar-wai's "Carmen in Mong Kok", and her career began to turn around. "Ruan Lingyu" made her win the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, becoming the first Chinese actress to win the film queen laurels at the three major international film festivals.
Just like a class of students who desperately want to take the first place, there are students who want to try hard even if they are generally qualified, there must be some casual mixed-ups, students who stay in the comfort zone and do not want to make progress, although these students can not be named, but the audience's eyes are always bright.
There is no role that can be played all the time, and there are also times when the Qing Palace drama is off. Many people often wander at the crossroads of middle age, complaining that there is no chance, in fact, if you are not willing to be in your current self, don't wait, try to change. Idol dramas really can't be performed for a lifetime, and it is impossible to face real life by frowning, glaring, and pouting. Every idol drama fragile Mary Sue is a realist heroine as long as she has the courage.
