The TV drama market at the beginning of 2022 ushered in a small climax, following the launch of star dramas such as "Perfect Partner" and "This Life with You", the online drama market has gradually rolled up.
No, after the "Beginning" of the fire, iQiyi also had an action, and the latest suspense drama "Gold Rush" was officially broadcast.
No suspense, no fun.
Whether it is "The Hidden Corner" starring Qin Hao,
Or "The Silent Truth" starring Bai Yu,
Or "Who is the Murderer" starring Zhao Liying,
These popular dramas that have made people stay up late and insist on watching are all suspense TV series, and they are also from iQiyi's Mist Theater.
Suspense dramas have always been very popular, but only a small part of them can really be affirmed by the audience.
For example, some time ago, "Who is the murderer", although the results of this drama in all aspects are very excellent, but the reputation has completely collapsed, one is that the plot is incomplete, and the other is that the plot logic is not smooth.
Just when netizens are calling for the decline of the increasingly sluggish Mist Theater, the Mist Theater seems to have obtained the King Explosion again.
"Gold Rush", which has been pressed to be unable to be broadcast, has finally begun to broadcast, and it is still exclusively broadcast in the Mist Theater.
The three highlights of "Gold Rush"
According to the new film expectation list, the data of "Gold Rush" is obviously good.
It defeated "Special Operations" starring Gao Weiguang and Hu Bingqing in one fell swoop, as well as Ren Jialun and Li Qin's "Please Jun", and won the first place in the new film expectation list.
Of course, the ranking of the new film expectation list does not explain everything, because some dramas have very good data before they start broadcasting, but once they start broadcasting, they will become more and more crotchy.
And if you want to make a drama stand firm and the reputation does not collapse, the first thing is to look at the cast and the acting skills of the actors.
In order to shoot this suspense drama well, the drama side invited Liao Fan, who had a stunning performance in "The Silent Truth", as the male protagonist.
In addition, there are young actors Chen Feiyu to join,
Coupled with the crazy powder-sucking "Dajiang" Su Ke in "Sweeping Black Storm",
There are also Lu Xiaolin, Wang Tonghui, Fan Shuaiqi, Wang Zheng and other powerful actors, and the actor configuration of this drama is still quite attractive.
Therefore, from the perspective of actors alone, there are movie emperors and traffic, and the potential of this "Gold Rush" cannot be underestimated.
On the other hand, this series can be regarded as the first suspense drama in China with the theme of "gold rushing" as the starting point, set in the mysterious southwest dense forest.
Throughout the series, efforts have been made to present viewers with a series of stories that happen to gold diggers unknown to the world.
The obedient and alienating things expressed in the play: the mysterious owl, the strange sister ridge, the "river section dispute" between Wu Jianchao, Lao Shan, Ah Qiu, and Magdeburg give the audience a kind of story that he does not just want to write a bloody robbery, tearing killing, and then everything is buried with the loess, but there is quite a lot of foreshadowing.
The final question is whether the plot is attractive enough to the audience.
The ornamentality of "Gold Rush", whether it is the advancement of the plot or the transformation of the scene, adheres to a "average" criterion, insisting on showing the landscape through the movement of the characters, plus a few Shakespearean character dialogues, which is a narrative generation gap visible to the naked eye, but it is not blunt.
The twisted and eerie dense forest in the wilderness, the people who continue to die on the riverbank, are a little surprised that these are actually live-action shooting.
Although more eye-catching shots or plots are point-to-point, of course he may be subject to various cultural restrictions or censorship mechanisms.
This time, "Gold Rush" brings a unique gold rush adventure theme, which opens up new creative boundaries for the genre of suspense short dramas.
Tianya classic hot post
"What the hell are you panning for?"
"To get rich"
"Most gold diggers, they are trying to change their fate"
If you need to use a few words to show the background of the story of "Gold Rush", such a line in "Gold Rush" should be the most appropriate.
The play is adapted from the novel "Gold Rush", and the original author of this story, "Traditional Human" (also known as "Lai'er"), posted it twice on "Tianya".
His first meeting with netizens was on April 30, 2010, published in the "Lotus Story" edition.
Speaking of "Tianya" and "Classic Hot Posts"... Some senior netizens may already be excited.
After all, it originated from the hot post that triggered the frenzied pursuit of netizens on the largest Chinese forum in China 9 years ago, and now it can be made into a web drama, which is also a dream of many netizens.
The story blueprint of "Gold Rush" is indeed a hit in the era when the forum became popular.
It's also one of the story's most popular posts: it's already seen more than 8.85 million hits and more than 16,000 replies.
More than four months later, "traditional humans" sorted out and revised the content that had been updated earlier, and then changed it to "Tianya Miscellaneous" to release, and the number of hits was close to 1.6 million.
In the author's own words, the story begins with an unusual, "eventful autumn."
In the plot of the TV series, although the region and specific era background of the original novel are omitted.
However, as we all know, the theme of "gold rush" mostly appears in Hollywood Westerns, and there are not many such themes in the domestic film and television drama market.
Therefore, this time, "Gold Rush" can adapt such themes, which is also a major breakthrough in the domestic drama market.
Producers who have created well-known suspense dramas such as "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth" are also involved in supervising production.
The story of "Gold Rush", familiar and unfamiliar, can be expected.
If you're still chasing the drama, then get a sneak peek at the novel.
Behind the super high clicks is the unique charm of the novel
The "Gold Rush" created by Lai'er, as a novel, its plot twists and turns, through the whole book, it can be said that it does not have a word of nonsense.
Jungle adventures, wilderness survival, all kinds of strange events, one mystery after another, the ring is tight, people dare not relax for a moment.
"Gold Rush" is a thick book, but it is not difficult to read, and the author's language description is always just right.
If you know the author's ear, you will know that every sentence in his work has a deep meaning, including the description of the scene, which is very delicate.
Open "Gold Rush" and follow Lai'er into China's 1986.
At that time, technology was not yet developed, and smartphones had not yet appeared. People's desire for wealth is only to become a million-dollar household.
At that time, ordinary employees, tired and tired, only less than a hundred yuan a month, so a comparison, you can indeed find that it is difficult to earn 10,000 yuan by ordinary work.
1986 was a very special year for the protagonist of "Gold Rush", when his father and mother died one after another, and the family was deserted and lifeless.
That year, the protagonist was in his senior year of college, but he dropped out of school because of a little accident. The two brothers, together, decided to go west. In order to make a lot of money, for the two big color TVs that my brother said.
The two brothers came to Paotai Mountain together and formed their own gold panning team.
In addition to the two brothers, there was a solid man named Wu Jianchao, who was released from prison, and an old man who said his name was Wang Tianshui.
The last person to join the team was a Henan man, who had never panned for gold before, but was the youngest and most powerful. The brothers and the five-person gold panning group composed of these three people began the gold panning business of Taishan.
At that time, although the private gold panning was also on the edge of the law, because of the huge benefits, there were still many people who risked death into the mountains.
From the time you ride up the road, "Gold Rush" begins its wonderful suspenseful part. Along the way, all kinds of strange things happened, strange stone people, goats with human eyes, strange sounds... The eldest brother used to be a geological team and was familiar with the geographical aspect.
And "I", because of my high learning, is called "college student" by the members of the gold panning team, and the author's ear is through the perspective of "I", narrating various thrilling events. Sometimes, college students can justify themselves, but more often, several people will encounter strange phenomena that cannot be explained.
Despite the danger of rebirth, they still found gold in The Taishan.
The temptation of gold is too great, no wonder there have been many lives and deaths along the way, but there are still more gold prospectors coming up the mountain. These few people in the group of two brothers are indeed a reasonable division of labor, experience and strength. Seeing that a certain amount had been accumulated, several people planned to go down the mountain, but unfortunately encountered a flood.
The tools for panning for gold were all wasted, and several people were not reconciled, and after exchanging gold, they planned to re-enter the mountain.
Following the college student, we witnessed the process of repeated logical reasoning being pushed down, but the college student did not give up, and he has been thinking about those strange problems for the rest of his life. Some questions have been answered, but many more have not been explained to this day.
Tired of contemplation, in this dangerous journey of life, we not only need the ability to survive in the wilderness, but also the wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong.
Desire is infinite, human nature has its ugliness, but love can be noble.
