If you want to ask what drama is most anticipated in the near future, you must count the new drama "The Beginning" produced by noonday sunshine and starring Bai Jingting and Zhao Jinmai.
"Beginning" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Jinjiang author Qi Jun, with a constant "cycle" of bus explosions as the "anchor point", leading the audience to shuttle between life and death, trying their best to break the shackles of time to change the established destiny.
In the popular sense, this is a story that is constantly circulating in a regular time, that is, the legendary "infinite stream".
One: The theme is ahead of its curve and cool
"Beginning" is the first film and television work in the current domestic explosive infinite stream novel, telling the story of the game architect Xiao Heyun played by Bai Jingting and the college student Li Shiqing, played by Zhao Jinmai, who encountered an explosion after getting on the same bus, and "came back from the dead", and the two were horrified to find themselves constantly experiencing the cycle of time during the time period of the bus accident.
In order to be able to break this strange cycle, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing chose to get off the bus to save themselves, and tried to find the truth about the bus explosion and find ways to prevent the danger from happening.
From this setting, it suddenly attracts the audience who rarely touches the same type of novel.
Coupled with the suspenseful sense of the trailer, it is a No. 45 bus full of passengers colliding with the tanker truck, and no one survives after the vehicle explodes.
However, Xiao Heyun, played by Bai Jingyu, and Li Shiqing, played by Zhao Jinmai, were "reborn" with memories.
Faced with the bus that was about to explode, the two men informed the police that there was a bomb on the car, but became suspects because they could not explain how they knew this information.
What is even more frightening is that this matter is not stopped because they told others, but instead circulates continuously with the eerie and monotonous ringtone of the mobile phone, trying in vain again and again, and falling into the pain of powerlessness to change the center of the explosion again and again.
How to find the truth behind the explosion in a limited time, and how to break the shackles of the cycle on the two, this "Beginning" is very zonal, whether it is a brain hole or a sense of suspense.
Two: The cast is strong
Bai Jingting, Zhao Jinmai, Liu Yijun, Liu Tao, Huang Jue, when these actors get together, it is difficult for the audience to think about it or not.
The first is Bai Jingting, who has frequently produced excellent acting skills in good films in recent years, and in this "Beginning", as a game architect, he quickly began to save himself after starting the cycle, and tried to take the initiative with teammate Li Shiqing (Zhao Jinmai) to solve the crisis that trapped everyone.
Bai Jingting mentioned in the interview that the role of Xiao Heyun does not have the aura of the protagonist, on the contrary, he is still a "weak chicken", because he is considered to be deliberately creating panic and being pressed to the ground because he tells the passengers the truth on the bus; in the face of repeated cycles, explosions again and again and is powerless. From the trailer of just a few minutes, it can be seen that Bai Jingting has changed from the previous works.
Although Zhao Jinmai is relatively young, but has participated in a number of high-scoring dramas, but also with the first result of double materials into the Chinese drama, acting skills are guaranteed, the aura is not to say, this time she played Li Shiqing took the lead in waking up from the cycle, and single-mindedly wanted to save all the people who died because of this explosion.
The two feel like "teammates" and "brothers and sisters" in the trailer, and the feeling of fighting side by side against all odds is very substitutionary.
The roles of Liu Yijun and Liu Tao are both policemen, or policemen who are caught in the "cycle" and do not know themselves, from the trailer released by the film side, the acting skills are very outstanding.
Huang Jue played the driver of the No. 45 bus in "The Beginning", which is inextricably linked to the entire bombing case, and his performance also makes the audience can't help but wonder what secrets he has.
Three: The noonday sun will produce fine products
In addition to the strong cast and advanced theme of the drama "Beginning", the most reassuring thing for the audience is definitely the "golden signboard" of the noonday sun. In 2021, the noonday sun's "Mountains and Seas" and "Children of the Qiao Family" have won super high word of mouth.
Therefore, the strict control of the script, the excellence of details, and the noonday sunshine that has produced many high-quality dramas have always been trusted by the audience.
Judging from the trailer released by the film, the various details of the "Beginning" drama are also polished very well, like the bus that explodes repeatedly, and the different ways of death of the male and female protagonists after each time they fall into the loop, are very in place.
Because of the excessive pursuit of the texture of the lens, the trailer of "The Beginning" looks particularly cinematic, and I believe that with the strict control of the noonday sun, this drama will definitely not disappoint the audience.
