If the Mist Theater had opened with "Gold Rush", perhaps it would not have been questioned so much, and there would not even have been a decline in the overall quality after that. Even if "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Mist" and "Who is the Murderer" have a strong lineup, they are still not as enjoyable as "Gold Rush".
Liao Fan with Su Ke, plus Chen Feiyu, "Gold Rush" is still the main combination of new and old actors.
I thought that Chen Feiyu would lower the level of acting, but after watching the four episodes currently broadcast, Chen Feiyu's acting skills are still online, although not as amazing as Liao Fansuke, but it is also passed.
I like the picture of "Gold Rush", the texture of oil painting, under the gray light, conveys a sense of oppression.
The whole has a desolate feeling of Westerns, like Ning Hao's "No Man's Land", and also like Xiao Lizi's "Wilderness Hunter", but in terms of color, "Gold Rush" is more gloomy.
The story takes place in the Arch Horse Country, even if the survival rules of the primitive jungle are constrained by modern law, but because of the distance problem, the law cannot be touched in time, and morality is falling apart in greedy human nature, and you cannot distinguish between good people and bad people.
This drama actually has three puzzles to solve, which is also the key to promoting the development of the plot.
The first is that Wu Jianchao, played by Liao Fan, is missing, who touched it?
The second is who is the owl that everyone is looking for?
The third is that Chen Baojin's brother, played by Chen Feiyu, is missing, what does this brother know?
As a suspense drama, "Gold Rush" does a good job, there are two lines of memory and reality, reality uses black tones, memories use gray tones, memories are buried foreshadowing, and reality is to find the truth.
Now that the episodes are broadcast, you can't judge who Wu Jianchao really is? Is he an owl after all? There is also Peng Shan, played by Su Ke, who is also the object of suspicion of the owl, and now this owl is buried really deeply, which is what a suspense drama should look like.
Liao Fan's acting skills are very powerful, although he plays a cruel person, just like the hammer in "Mengfu on the Sea", but the character of Wu Jianchao is more difficult to play than the hammer.
The hammer is not so deep in the city government, but Wu Jianchao has, always feel that this character hides too many secrets, which tests the acting skills.
Then there is Chen Feiyu, he is a newcomer, the aura is completely crushed by Liao Fan Su Ke Lu Xiaolin, but the plot saves him.
Chen Baojin came to find his brother, from the city, Chen Feiyu's personality is similar to Chen Baojin, and he is the right character.
Overall, "Gold Rush", if the end of the later period does not collapse, the quality can be comparable to the American drama. But it is a little bit worse in this rhythm, presumably to sell money.
The two episodes of the show are very wordy about one thing, and if it can be compressed from 12 episodes to 6 episodes, one episode for one hour, it would be even better.
The "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" and "Who is the Murderer" broadcast by the Mist Theater are both family ethics dramas, but they are cloaked in suspense, and "Gold Rush" brings back the core of the Mist Theater, that is, the suspense crime theme.
This drama is very brain-burning, using gold as a traction, showing human nature, each character has a ghost fetus, do you think he is a good person, after all, people die for money and birds for food, who can resist the temptation?
The river section is at the bottom, the washing field is about to start, and many years of operation have been in vain, Wu Jianchao from the river section to the sister ridge, in the end can he wade out of a way to live? Who are the owls in particular? It depends on the next plot development.
