As early as the beginning of 2021, the Mist Theater released 4 pilot films in succession: "OctagonAl Pavilion Mist", "Fatal Wish", "Who is the Murderer" and "Gold Rush".
At that time, when I saw the trailer, in fact, the least optimistic was this "Gold Rush".
Mainly because this kind of subject has not yet been contacted, and the domestic painting style and some objective reasons, it is difficult to photograph this kind of thing in the marginal corners of society with a sense of substitution.
Compared with the other three, the cast of "Gold Rush" is not luxurious, and as we all know, watching the Mist Theater must see how many powerful actors there are.
As for those traffic stars and newcomer actors, most of them come here to gild.
At that time, watching "Gold Rush" seemed to have only Liao Fan, a movie emperor plus a traffic star Chen Feiyu, and I felt that Liao Fan did not even have an actor who played against him, so he was not optimistic about this play.
But things often differ greatly from what you think.
The Mist Theater released three suspense dramas in succession in 2021, but word of mouth encountered Waterloo.
I thought that with the blessing of the film emperor Duan Yihong, the film queen Hao Lei and many powerful actors, "Octagonal Pavilion Mist" will be the vanguard of the return of the 2021 Mist Theater, but because of the cumbersome script, the family ethics of 12 episodes are told in the appearance of suspense, which makes a lot of suspense fans disappointed.
"Fatal Wish" is even more powerful, not to mention the plot is not good, even the actor's acting skills are not passed, so this drama only gives a small number of star fans a self-hi.
Although Zhao Liying, Xiao Yang and Dong Zijian's "Who is the Murderer" has improved a lot of points of view compared with the first two parts, due to a large number of deletions (rumors), the original 24 episodes have become 16 episodes, which has disappointed many people.
After the broadcast, it was exposed that many places directly took the doctrine and was criticized by many netizens.
In terms of plot, I thought it was a high-IQ crime, so that the police chased the murderer for more than ten years, and the result was that the murderer was a fool with mental illness, and Shen Yu, played by Zhao Liying, could not be established by high-IQ people.
Overall, 2021's "Theater of the Mist" is a failure.
At the beginning of 2022, the Mist Theater released the last "Gold Rush" of the pilot film, I believe that many audiences have no hope for the Mist Theater, and they did not expect that the opening work of the new year was finally thrown out of a king explosion.
After watching the two episodes, although in order to ensure the review, some bloody pictures were avoided, but the director used a very subtle method to experience the dark side of that place.
A dead man collapsed next to a wheelbarrow, covered in blood on a rocky beach, does not have to be intuitive, this knows that this person died ugly.
After disposing of the corpses, the workers continued to do the work of panning for gold, digging up blood-stained stones and sending them to conveyor belts, and the clean water washed away the blood stains, as well as the stones and dirt, just to find the sand gold inside.
It's a more revealing place than city life, where everyone craves gold and everyone doesn't have to disguise their desire for money and greed.
The rainy season is coming, and it is the last time for the group to pan for gold, and in this last time, a storm has been brewing in the crowd.
Some people hope to sell their gold to smugglers at a high price, rather than exchanging it for a company at a low price.
One of the biggest smugglers is called "Owl", and he is still a suspenseful character in the play.
The new Arrival Chen Baojin (Played by Chen Feiyu) seems to have come to pan for gold, but in fact he is looking for his missing brother, others say that his brother is dead, and he wants to see people die to see corpses.
Wu Jianchao (played by Liao Fan) The Chinese boss of Simuchang seems to be related to the "owl" and Chen Baojin's brother, is this person a good person or a bad person?
Remember "Dajiang" in "Sweeping The Black Storm", this time he played the owner of another gold panning factory - Lao Shan.
He wants to annex Liao Fan's gold panning, and his woman, Ah Qiu (Lu Xiaolin), has a very salty relationship with Wu Jianchao.
In such a dark tropical corner, a group of people who only have money in their eyes, what kind of fog will happen, to be honest, after watching two episodes, I have no clue, I only know that Chen Baojin wants to find his brother, and there is a gold walker nicknamed "Owl".
The characters in the play, each with a story, each connected in the story vortex.
All the staff are acting with their eyes, and everyone's eyes are always gloomy, so who is the owl? Chen Baojin's brother?
