The opening of the National Drama, the "Beginning" of the noonday sun, really killed crazy.
On the second day of broadcasting, the popularity of the whole network was only the sixth, and on the eighth day of the launch, it won the weekly crown of the popularity of the network drama, and the hot search of the series did not stop, Bai Jingting Zhao Jinmai became the hottest peanut in the opening year.
The midday sun is indeed powerful. But the rapid counterattack of "Beginning" also proves again from one side: suspense dramas have just needed.
The hole in the brain is getting bigger and bigger, and the deeper the human nature is.
Needless to say, winning a good reputation has also become a highlight of the breakthrough of domestic drama themes.
However, 2022 has only just begun. The veteran overlord of domestic suspense dramas has never given up this position.
Theater of the Mists, tonight – "Gold Rush." Or iQiyi.
Starring, Liao Fan + Chen Feiyu, one is the Berlin Film Emperor, one of the main actors of "The Silent Truth", and the other, the son of a big director, has potential, but also has Schrödinger's acting skills.
Can it be done? Some Douban netizens directly opened the cavity: the first few parts of the Mist Theater have been pounced, can this one be an exception? If it's a bad drama, don't broadcast it.
It seems reasonable, but first stop.
The second season of the Mist Theater is not as good as the first season, which is a fact, but in the overall pattern of domestic suspense dramas, the popularity of "Who is the Murderer" is low? Well, when the previous few all pounced, the previous one, the later one must not work?
Sorry, this logic, I don't believe.
The former Mist Theater has indeed opened up an unprecedented situation for domestic suspense dramas. Before and after comparison, the mist theater, of course, encountered the fog.
However, every inch of progress of domestic genre dramas is a rush for gold in the waves.
Also starring Liao Fan, "The Silent Truth" has become. "Gold Rush" is not successful, don't guess, watch.
If it is real gold, it is not afraid of fire refining.
Story: Adventure + Suspense! The original is extinct, can the adaptation blow sand to see gold?
"Gold rush", this kind of story, mostly seen in Hollywood Westerns, domestic dramas, this genre is rarer than gold.
So this shot, of course, must have confidence. The original novel, with a good reputation - "1986 Gold Rush Horror".
Many viewers, hiding in the quilt late at night, heard the horror.
The original is a treasure, but whether you can find real gold in the treasure depends on the adaptation.
The series has two main lines, one is the suspense line of Wu Jianchao's gold rush adventure played by Liao Fan, and the other is the suspenseful detective line of Chen Baojin, played by Chen Feiyu, who investigates the truth about the murder of his brother.
The two lines are intertwined, and behind them is the backstory of hundreds of thousands of gold diggers with dreams of getting rich, pouring into the gold panning land like a frenzy.
Discover no, adventure, suspense, detective, the west, all have, this story, the potential is too great.
But the real killer in the original book is science fiction, time travel.
In the original work, from the beginning of the gold panning, strange things have been one after another, sheep with human eyes, mysterious stone people, one after another, as well as iron houses of unknown origin, electric towers, mysterious bleeding diseases, visions, auditory hallucinations, confused time and space, and companions who are strangely scorched in the middle of the night... The gold diggers are like being dragged into a huge mystery that is bottomless.
This also involves the core setting of the original work: panning for gold, digging out a time and space tunnel, and doubling the danger.
For example, the trailer shows a fight scene of the male protagonist.
In the original work, it is he who wants to strangle the protagonist, but it is himself after returning from the crossing, why should he kill himself? Because only by killing this self and replacing it can you obtain the identity of the real world.
And the "wild man" in the story, is it really a wild man? Or a gold digger who inadvertently gets caught up in a fog?
In these original works, the reader will inhale a cool breath of magic, how the series will change, uncertain, it is certain that the story is doomed to suspense, adventures, and each foreshadowing, is not so simple.
The two male protagonists are like one inside and one outside, one light and one dark. The foreshadowing of the two people's enmity, physics, history, time and space travel, as if everything has a subtle connection, and finally constitutes a closed loop of space-time collision.
In the space-time cycle, what is real and magical is human nature after all.
Starring: Liao Fan is real gold, Chen Feiyu is afraid of fire refining?
Many people have expectations for "Gold Rush" because of a name - Liao Fan.
From the supporting roles of TV series, dramas, to the nomination of film emperors, the rise of fame, and then to the berlin film festival film emperor with "Daytime Fireworks", Liao Fan in recent years is almost a quality guarantee.
In the last "Silent Truth", although the most brilliant line is not here, his performance is still strong.
In terms of appearance, Liao Fan has clear edges and sharp eyes, and among the domestic actors, if the face of anyone makes the audience believe that he can return alive after entering the western gold rush world, he must be one of them.
And the Wu Jianchao he plays is definitely not a simple role.
Either going down the well himself, or being tied with his hands behind his back and thrown in the deep mountains and old forests, he is obviously the boss of the golden field, but he is on the verge of life and death the whole time.
The series gives the characters many such shots.
It was his unpredictable situation.
It is also his heart that hovers between light and darkness.
Corresponding to him, the male protagonist played by Chen Feiyu is a novice gold panning, who enters the gold panning world with a passion for blood, and the real purpose is only to find the truth of his brother's death.
In his heart, justice is a matter of course and impartiality.
And Liao Fan's character, he believes in you a ghost, if the world is so simple, why is he restless waiting for retirement, and after the placer gold accumulated for several years for retirement is touched away, he is forced to lead everyone to make a desperate bet and run to the old gold field of sister Ridge that has been abandoned for decades to make a final attempt?
This pair of male protagonists is mutually superficial. One is anxious to pan for gold, one is thirsty for the truth.
In this way, the fates of the two are intertwined.
But they are also deeply trapped in a puzzle, and what traps them is not gold, but the desire and unpredictable human heart behind gold.
Judging from the performance, Liao Fan has one word: stable. In this role, the possibility of Liao Fan's mistake is zero. The chances of brilliance are not low.
The suspense lies in Chen Baojin, played by Chen Feiyu, who is right to watch the preview of his performance state, his eyes are stubborn, and several emotional explosions are full of fire, reminiscent of his performance in "Will Night".
Whether it is a blockbuster or a drag, don't rush to conclusions, see the real gold and say.
Supporting roles: These three supporting roles are also real gold
But this drama is worth watching, not only the protagonist.
Based on the content of the final trailer that has been released, this should be an alternate story, but human nature is always true.
Everyone here is here for gold, but it doesn't mean they can get rich together, and there is a sentence in the trailer - "No one will not fight with you for gold".
In other words, the character in the play and Liao Fan's character talk about wine one second, and the next second, they may also draw their swords against each other.
All the evil people should be the role positioning of this play. And those who play the supporting roles of this drama are also fierce characters.
The first, Pong Shan, the owner of the Golden Field, played by Su Ke.
Not cooked? I changed my name - Dajiang in "Sweeping The Black Storm", the character who is very ugly and gentle, the English is very high, and the ending is very debatable.
This time, is the character good or evil? Can't see it.
But the role of good and evil is always the range of Su Ke's acting skills.
Second, Lu Xiaolin. Played the mysterious woman Ah Qiu who has emotional entanglements with the male protagonist in the play.
Suspense drama darling, sassy big green coat.
In recent years, she has starred in a number of domestic high-scoring suspense dramas such as "White Night Pursuit" and "Silent Truth".
This time the role, and the male protagonist is likely to love and kill each other, a sentence of "mutual defense, and mutual need", another sentence "who sends me gold, I will be with whom", the evil charm heroine, a bit interesting.
The third place, Wang Tonghui.
Still not familiar? Another name, "Sword Line in the Snow", Cao Changqing.
After graduating from Nortel, his first work was to play father and son with Chen Daoming in the TV series "Erma" adapted from Lao She's novel.
Good at playing positive characters, but also challenged the traitor villain, highly malleable.
When he was young, he was called "small fresh meat", and now he is the old drama bone of the powerful faction.
This time, his role can be said to be mysterious.
In the gold rush world, birds die for food.
To perform people's hearts are complex, hook heart, extremely test acting skills, but also good acting skills.
As soon as this lineup came out, the scene was suppressed.
Suspense: Mist Theater, can you dig out real gold again?
Does "Gold Rush" work?
Look at the subject matter, interesting enough.
Gold rush + adventure suspense + science fiction settings, the theme is still blank in China, and the setting potential is unlimited.
Look at the production, enough care.
The tone of the film is black, and it runs through the whole play with gold, and the picture has a cinematic texture.
The metallurgical process of gold panning, the gold panning tools for gold diggers to eat, carefully restored, carefully old.
The gold rush term is the inner taste.
On the way to the gold panning, he saw bright gold, called Xianhua; placer gold is not as yellow as possible, but the more red the color, the better the value; gold diggers regard rats as mascots.
Warm water bottles, cabinets, porcelain bowls, and canned fruit from the 1980s have also been restored.
In order to shoot the gold panning model, the producers entered the wild mountains and wild mountains, and there was no signal.
It can be seen that the creators have really put a lot of effort into it.
However, whether gold can be found depends on whether the series can roll out a huge and complicated gold rush puzzle.
There are many clues, but be methodical.
Although the characters are numerous, they need to be distinctive.
The story is not conventional, but more logical and self-consistent.
The gold rush game is wonderful, and it is even more necessary to shoot people's hearts and minds.
It's not hard, it's hard.
Watch science fiction suspense, from Chen Xiaohong's "Missing Persons" to Feng Shaofeng's "Fatal Wish", one after another lost.
Watching the Mist Theater, the second season still does not have a masterpiece like "The Silent Truth".
However, don't forget the old saying of gold panning, "No blood, no gold is not prosperous".
There has never been a domestic genre drama that has never been achieved overnight, and this fog theater opening drama that has been changed many times to satisfy the audience's appetite can it be a big wave of sand and sand to see gold?
There's a line in the play, "What are you panning for gold for?" "Most gold diggers are trying to change their fate."
This is also what I expect from "Gold Rush" today.
Expect it to go to a place where domestic suspense dramas have never been, unveil the fog for the mist theater, go against the sky, and change its life.
