As soon as the noonday sun's "Beginning" was broadcast, the rating soared to 8.2, which is really rare in domestic dramas, and the special theme has also caused widespread discussion among netizens.
The last time I watched such a brain-burning drama was the "Want to See You" broadcast in 2019, although the rating of "Beginning" was not as good as "Want to See You", but the two had similarities.
"Want to See You" is to integrate the elements of crossing suspense with youth love, through the interspersed story, the editing of the timeline, and the multiple crossings of the two parallel time and space of the male and female protagonists to promote the plot, both romantic love and brain-burning reasoning, the plot is wonderful.
"Beginning" is through the cycle, so that the male and female protagonists circulate in the bus countless times, peeling back the cocoon to find out the truth of the bus explosion, and catching the murderer to prevent the tragedy from happening.
The plot is also brain-burning and suspenseful, the sense of substitution is extremely strong, and the small bus also reflects the world.
First of all, praise the acting skills of Bai Jingting and Zhao Jinmai, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing, who played them, from strangeness to acquaintance, to mutual support and common progress, the progression of emotions is very exquisite.
In particular, Zhao Jinmai, who was born in 2002, is worthy of being the bully of the Central Academy of Drama, less than 20 years old, and his performance is really impeccable.
In terms of character shaping, "allowing the execution of the middle", one more point before the loss of inches, one more millimeter on the left is a loss of right, impartiality is just right.
Let's talk about the details of the play, not to mention the noonday sun, although the plot is concentrated in the bus and the police station, but everywhere reveals the hidden details.
Since the play is about a cycle, how many details in the play reveal the loop, do you really understand it carefully?
1. Buses
In fact, if you look closely at the appearance of the car, there are two circular signs and a "circular" word, implying that the car will drive in countless cycles.
2. The bridge of the park and the flyover near the station
Everyone carefully looked at the picture, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing got off the bus at the stop and walked to the nearby park, combing the timeline of the cycle again and again on the bridge of the park.
The bridge is also a special point, the cyclic staircase and the circular architectural style are depressing, and there is a feeling of vertigo in it. Even the structure of the pedestrian bridge is similar, as if a circle is trapped in it.
Three, Ludy's hat
Ludy is dressed in black, wearing a black hat and mask, wearing black clothes and carrying a black bag.
There is a logo on the left side of Ludy's hat, this figure is similar to the inverted 8, in fact it is called the Möbius ring, in mathematics∞ represents the infinity symbol, that is, there is no end.
And under the icon ∞ hat there is also an English word that reads "RESET". Reset means to restart the system and reset the system, which means that the entire plot is constantly in the reboot reset.
4. IP of the noonday sun
In order to reflect the drama that is the noonday sun, the IP of the noonday sun is revealed everywhere in the play.
1. The story in the play takes place in Jialin City, in fact, there is no such city in China, it is a fictional city in the TV series "Surgical Storm".
In the play, 110 calls Li Shiqing, the area code in front is Chuzhou, the drama was filmed in Xiamen, and the prototype of Jialin City is in Wuhan.
2. The bus sign of The University Town Station is printed with "Ode to Joy", and even the background pattern of other people on the station sign is also the LOGO of "Ode to Joy".
3. Cafe background music
When Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing eat a big meal in the café, the background music is the theme song of "Big River", and there are also Zhou Shen's songs "my only" and "Dust with Light".
4, the two drivers of the tank truck are chatting, and the co-pilot's driver's mobile phone is playing "Curry Curry", which is a popular divine song in 2019 and an episode in "Ode to Joy".
The co-pilot has been looking at his mobile phone since he stopped arguing, and the mobile phone is playing the footage of "I am Yu Huanshui" Hongqiang Cable Factory.
All of the above dramas and details are from the noonday sun.
V. Why is the plot set in 2019
The show is set in May 2019, because there was no epidemic at that time, so no one on the bus or on the road wore a mask, and there was no need to show a health code to get on the bus. If it's set in 2020, a lot of things don't make sense.
6. Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing's birthdays
In the play, there is a scene that captures the files of Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing, Xiao Heyun's birth date is October 15, 1993, Li Shiqing is September 29, 1998, and October 15 and September 29 are the real birthdays of Bai Jingting and Zhao Jinmai.
7. Ludy's computer desktop
When Lu Di took Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing to his secret base, he and Xiao Heyun had an argument over the game, Xiao Heyun said that "Zelda" was the sky, and Lu Di objected.
The Legend of Zelda series is one of the most comprehensively rated game series of all time, when Ludy and Xiao Heyun just met, did not regard him as a friend, and did not agree with his views.
After some conversation, Ludy went home and told his parents that he had made two friends, and he believed in what they said was "nonsense" and had the idea of saving the world.
At this time, on the computer desktop in his home, the game "Zelda" was displayed, which also indirectly reflected their mutual recognition.
8. Ringing bells that do not ring when they ring
Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing were curious, why sometimes they could hear the bell before the explosion, and sometimes they couldn't hear it?
In fact, this song "Cannon" is not a mobile phone ringtone, but an alarm, which is a reminder alarm set by the murderer for the bomb. It is not the alarm that detonates when it explodes, but the alarm goes off, reminding the killer to pull the explosion engine.
If the bus and the tanker truck collide before the alarm goes off, it is a bomb explosion caused by the explosion. If the bus hadn't collided with the tanker truck, it would have been an explosion caused by the killer manually after the alarm went off.
IX. Characters in the bus
Through the development of the plot, the audience also has a preliminary understanding of the characters in the car. For example, why does a brother always like to take pictures with his mobile phone, because he is a Vlgo video anchor, curious and enthusiastic.
Xiao Heyun kicked Ma Guoqiang's watermelon, and the two had an argument. Obviously he was not wrong, but Ma Guoqiang habitually squatted down and raised his left hand to show that this was the habitual action of people who had squatted in prison for a long time.
No matter what happened to the bus, such as Lu Di's asthma or Li Shiqing's heart attack, or other unexpected situations, almost every passenger would come forward to help or get up to join in the fun, except for the aunt carrying the pressure cooker who never got up, nor did she have any curiosity or reaction.
The driver is also a very strange character, no matter what happens in the car, he does not stop and is indifferent, too calm. He was a good driver who didn't know how to collect gold, but he was very indifferent on this ride.
10. Who is the murderer?
In the original, the murderers are the driver and the aunt holding the pressure cooker. They are a couple who want to take revenge on society because their daughter died.
Why was it chosen at 13:42, which coincided with the time of their daughter's death. From episode 8, it can be seen that even if the aunt is killed, the bomb is still detonated by the other hand pulling the engine. This shows that as long as the time comes, the bomb must explode, no matter who pulls the engine.
Once, the driver opened the door for Li Shiqing and agreed to let her get off the car in advance, since the driver was also one of the murderers, why did he let Li Shiqing go?
Li Shiqing said that she often takes this train, and the driver is already very familiar, in fact, Li Shiqing is a bit like the driver's daughter, the driver also released water for her.
In the end, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing used all kinds of methods to finally find out the cause of the explosion in one cycle after another, saving the whole car, and the murderer was also arrested.
There are many details of this drama, the length is too long, I will not analyze them one by one, like friends to chase the drama themselves!
