Have you watched "The Beginning"?
Originally, when it was rumored that they were going to shoot domestic unlimited stream works in a serious way, many people were skeptical and worried that it would be difficult to exert their fists and feet under the restrictions of rules and regulations.
However, the noonday sun's "Beginning" handed over a surprising result, less than ten episodes of the first broadcast, Douban has more than 200,000 people rated the score of 8.2 points.
It is rare to make most of the audience who have seen it satisfied in the case of difficult speech, and to make people generally accept the new type of work.
So what is the good idea of this drama?
The plot setting is suspenseful and qualified, and the freshness is prominent
The new setting itself is intriguing, and the setting of "Beginnings" is a classic genre in infinite stream works, where the protagonist cycles through horrific events, fleeing for his life while finding a way to break the game.
In the past, most of the foreign film and television works were big escape settings with a terrifying atmosphere, which was very tense and exciting. But "The Beginning" feels completely different. There is tension and warmth.
The opening quickly shows the audience that the protagonist has an "immortal body" and that as long as he dies or falls asleep, he will enter a new round of the loop.
How to break the situation every time, how to get off the bus, which step can escape, what changes can occur because of different choices, who the murderer is, and what stories each passenger has, all arouse people's curiosity.
Every time the protagonist wakes up from the car, the tension is there. Trying to escape from the bus yourself or racing against the clock to try to rescue a passenger makes people hang a heart and follow the protagonist nervously.
When they got out of the car and went to investigate the passengers one by one, they involved a series of passenger stories, which injected a lot of freshness into this infinite flow work. It is considered to have played the effect of Zhang Chi's combination.
The character story touches people's hearts, and the actors' acting skills are all qualified
The focus of "Beginning" is not only from the escape and rescue of the protagonists, but also from the "faces of all beings" in the play.
Those who look like a dragon set at the beginning of the play, the stories behind them are very full, looking at "life" with the ending of "death", a little helplessness, bitterness, struggle, and a little bit of blood and joy in life are particularly touching.
The teenager who looks tightly covered and has a suspicious appearance is actually a teenager who is prone to allergies. As long as he is paired with the secret code, he can cooperate unconditionally, so he becomes the number one helper of the protagonist group.
At the same time, the camera also touches on his original family environment, a mother who interferes too much in his life, which makes people feel suffocated. But fortunately, he also has a dad who fully understands him and creates space for him.
Although the teenager has many taboos in his life because of his allergic physique, he still loves one of his allergens, the cat. When he accepts the setting of experiencing a bus explosion in a loop, knowing that he may die in the cycle where the protagonist re-experiences the bus explosion again, his first worry is "what about my cat"
There is no excessive atmosphere rendering, no emotion in life, just a simple sentence "what to do with my cat", it hits people's hearts and makes people cry.
After that, he also wrote a suicide note to arrange his own affairs, and told his parents about his many years of knots, but unfortunately, his mother still did not understand, or in a suffocating way, took the diary to the police station to find him to make a big fuss.
Although he wants someone to understand, it is really difficult. But he is still willing to accept the outrageous cycle setting of the protagonists, and is willing to contribute his own blood.
There was also an uncle who was quickly listed as a suspect because he was carrying a large bag of round and rolling things. But in fact, he brought a few watermelons he grew himself and wanted to give to his son to eat.
The uncle was ostracized by his wife because he had been imprisoned before and affected the life of the child, and then he did not dare to disturb their lives and could no longer accompany the child, but he had always been worried about his son, and he knew from others that his son's circle of friends said that he wanted to eat watermelon, so he brought the watermelon he planted and wanted to give it to his son to eat.
When the protagonist mistakenly thinks he is a suspect and kicks the watermelon badly, his state of distress and loss is very sympathetic to him. After that, the watermelon that was kicked was kicked and eaten by everyone together, which also became a classic scene in the play, and it was a favorite scene of many people.
There is also the father of a migrant worker, because he is particularly conspicuous with a suitcase, and was once listed as a suspect.
But in fact, his construction site work is yellow, the rented place is not allowed to live, the box is given by the landlord, there is a pack of sanitary napkins in the box, which is some of the things that were originally in the box, and the landlord let him take the things he can use, and throw away the things he can't use. He took the sanitary napkin and wanted to take it with his daughter. When the heroine pretended to be menstruating and tried to borrow a sanitary napkin from the passenger, he took the initiative to open the box and take it to the heroine.
This father's background scene is not much, but it still moves the audience. (Who can see that this is Li Toyota)
The story behind the last two suspects unfolds, which also makes people feel helpless. There are also pity for hateful people.
Their daughter got off the bus temporarily when the No. 45 bus was on the bridge and died in a car accident.
Because they thought their daughter's death should have something to do with what happened on the bus, but it was not recorded. The female suspect suspected that her daughter had been harassed in the car. But previous surveys had not yielded a result that was acceptable to them.
So they drove a no. 45 bus and a homemade bomb and designed an explosion.
It is also because of this that the female protagonist tried various ways to get off the bus without success, and only said that she was harassed by the male protagonist successfully got off the bus in the middle.
Therefore, the ultimate goal of the breakout cycle is to solve the knot in the hearts of the two suspects and find the truth that their daughter forcibly asked to get off the bus halfway.
The play is well-detailed in the narrative structure, very able to grasp the key points, the bus cycle explosion escape tension, each passenger to clear the suspect process reveals the story behind the character has its own bitterness and expectations. What is particularly commendable is that the emotional line of the male and female protagonists does not fall into the cliché.
Xiao Heyun, played by Bai Jingting, and Li Shiqing, played by Zhao Jinmai, hide the fate in their names: "A crane in the clear sky is lined with clouds, and it leads the poetry to Bixiao". Although it is known that it is the fate directly arranged by the author, the portrayal of the two characters is still relatively independent.
A rational, but always weigh the pros and cons first, showing a certain amount of selfishness. A kind, regardless of, always wants to save more people. They gradually influenced each other, interdependent, and slowly became the "boyfriend and girlfriend" they claimed to be to the outside world. There is no arrogance in dragging mud and water.
Of course, the most important thing is that the actors, all qualified, can interpret this vivid and vivid role, calling people into the play.
Not only the "passengers" detailed above, the "police" are also impressive, in addition to the role played by Liu Yijun and Liu Tao, the little policeman Jiang Feng from the beginning to make people hate to worry about him in the back, understand his mood, let the audience's feelings progress in layers, to a certain extent, it also shows that the actor's interpretation is successful.
