This year's national drama is really a bit surprising, the beginning of the year is the noonday sunshine of the new drama "The Beginning", the choice of infinite flow of themes, itself is strange and fresh for the audience. The final word-of-mouth evaluation of the play is also very outstanding, and even many viewers feel empty after chasing the play.
Good dramas have always had the magic to attract audiences, such as "Beginning" and the same is true of the new drama "Gold Rush". The emptiness brought by the play "Beginning" was soon compensated by the "Gold Rush" launched by the Mist Theater, both of which are the biggest hit suspense dramas at the moment, but the perspective is placed in the unfamiliar field of the audience, an infinite stream, a gold rush.
"Beginning" has been successful, and the next step is to watch "Gold Rush", which is not only the key to the recovery of the reputation of the Mist Theater, but also plays a leading role in this year's domestic suspense drama. However, it is clear that "Gold Rush" did not disappoint the audience, and even brushed 2 episodes without stopping, of which the three major advantages of the drama are enough to make "Gold Rush" a benchmark for domestic suspense dramas.
First, the relationship between the characters is complex, and "Gold Rush" sets the perspective in a gold panning field in GongmaGuo, where there are companies that recycle gold, gold bosses responsible for various river sections, and workers responsible for gold panning, including some newcomers who have just joined the gold panning field, known as xiao half-cut.
In a place full of gold and desire, such as the gold rush, human nature is bound to be revealed, so the relationship between people is also very complicated. While most people are trying to get rich here, if there is no relationship, there is no way to get rich, everything is empty talk.
Among them, the most complicated relationship is Wu Jianchao, Lao Shan and Ah Qiu, and the three of them are not only lovers, but also have the identity of the boss of the golden field. The play begins with three people talking about business at the same table, Ah Qiu did not say much, the main focus was still on Wu Jianchao and Lao Shan's body, but at night Wu Jianchao slept in the same bed with Ah Qiu.
However, here Wu Jianchao's camera just flashed, and instead, Lao Shan came to Ah Qiu's room, and it was obvious that Lao Shan knew the relationship between the two. Wu Jianchao also knew that Ah Qiu was not simple, so he was wary of him everywhere. There are both emotional entanglements and intertwined interests, and the three people have their own calculations, and the conflict is set up at once.
Second, the narrative logic is clear, and the setting is complex not only the relationship between the characters in "Gold Rush", but also the plot. From the dialogue between Wu Jianchao and Lao Shan, it can be seen that the current gold field is in a stage of transformation, the artificial can be replaced by gold mining boats, and the amount of gold in the river section where they are located is also getting smaller and smaller, and win-win cooperation seems to be the best choice.
But Wu Jianchao chose to refuse such a way to save manpower and increase efficiency, because in such a sinister gold rush, unconditional trust in a person is undoubtedly self-destructive. Later, in order to get money, someone kidnapped Ah Qiu's son and tried to use this method in exchange for money.
There were also attempts to smuggle gold out of the gold panning and sell it at a high price outside, but they were discovered by the mining team members and died tragically the next day. Here, there is money that has lost people's eyes, and there are murders for people who have died for money, and behind this is the owl of the population that manipulates everything. Whether he is one of the protagonists or someone else is the biggest suspense buried in the play.
Under such a complex relationship and story structure, the drama of "Gold Rush" still maintains the logic of the narrative, and only through the first two episodes, all the characters and the general environment are clearly explained, and there is no obstacle to the audience.
Third, there are variables in the balance, and the Four Woods Gold Rush is more like a small ecosystem, which also follows the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest. Workers in the gold panning know that the benefits of buying gold for the mining company to which they belong are minimal, but if they give it to the owl, they can multiply the profits several times.
The owl is a variable that breaks the balance between the mining company and the gold field, and it is also an outlier that should not appear in this ecosystem, but has its rationality. However, in the ecological circle of the Golden Square, the owl has its inevitability and is also an important part of maintaining balance.
From the perspective of the whole play, the biggest variable is Chen Baojin. Almost all the people in the play are in the gold panning field to get rich and change their fate, but Chen Baojin is different, he came here to find the reason why his brother was killed. Judging from the plot of the first two episodes, whether it is the malice in his eyes when he looks at Wu Jian, or the suspicion of the owl, it indicates that Chen Baojin will be the one who breaks the entire ecological balance in the follow-up.
And this biggest variable will also be the core of the play, carrying the main point of the play. "Gold Rush" uses characters to disturb the balance and highlight human nature, invisibly adding more uncertainty, creating more suspense, and also making the suspenseful atmosphere of the play create full marks. The high quality presented by "Gold Rush" makes people react after watching it, this is not an American drama, and the spring of domestic dramas has finally come!
