<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="6" > Who's the Killer</h1>
Director: Sun Hao
Screenwriters: Kong Youyou, Chen Weihan
Starring: Zhao Liying, Xiao Yang, Dong Zijian
Genre: Suspense, Crime
Episodes: 24
In the past two years, domestic suspense dramas have sprung up, and there have been many word-of-mouth double harvest works, among which the latest cutting-edge and high-quality suspense drama brands are iQiyi's "Mist Theater".
In 2020, "The Hidden Corner" with a Douban score of 8.8 and "The Silent Truth" with a score of 9.1 are regarded as the Twin Stars of the Mist Theater, and they are also the most amazing domestic suspense dramas after the 2017 "White Night Pursuit".
Relying on these two dramas to accumulate a lot of audience popularity, the Mist Theater will naturally hit the iron while it is hot and shape itself into the first golden sign of domestic suspense, so iQiyi restarts the Mist Theater with six dramas: "Gold Rush" (Liao Fan, Chen Feiyu), "Fatal Wish" (Feng Shaofeng, Wen Qi), "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" (Hao Lei, Zu Feng), "Hunting Crime Map" (Jin Shijia, Tan Jianci), "Nightcrawler" (Li Yifeng, Feng Delun), and "Who is the Murderer".
From the actor's point of view, the Mist Theater still continues the previous casting standards, regardless of the Mesozoic generation, the younger generation, pay attention to the texture of the performance, after all, for suspense dramas, the strength of the actor's acting skills will fundamentally determine the suspense atmosphere.
Therefore, combined with the national degree and performance standards, Zhao Liying's first appearance in the suspenseful crime theme of "Who is the Murderer" is particularly eye-catching.
This drama chose the most popular "small town theme" of domestic crime films and television in recent years——
The story takes place in a small fourth-tier city in southern China. The calm of this small city is broken by a serial murder, and in the long span of sixteen years, the people associated with this serial murder have their own secrets.
At present, "Who is the Murderer" has released a trailer of 1 minute and 5 seconds, in the film, the picture is in the old house, elevator, library and other limited environments, constantly outlining the mysterious relationship and emotions between the three protagonists, satisfying the audience's appetite.
Among them, Zhao Liying's expression is more in the calm, doubtful, sneering, pain between the switch freely, making people curious about its identity, the story, and "manslaughter" to establish their undefeated status in the field of domestic suspense crime film and television Xiao Yang, and one of the post-90s actor acting representatives Dong Zijian, in "Who is the murderer", the same identity is a mystery.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="109" > "The rest of your life, please advise"</h1>
Director: Lu Ying
Screenwriters: Lu Tian, Zheng Dan, Wu Peina
Starring: Yang Zi, Xiao Zhan, Zhai Zilu
Type: Love
Number of episodes: 30
On September 5, 2021, Hunan Satellite TV officially announced that due to the adjustment of channel programming, the broadcast of "The Rest of Your Life, Please Advise" that was originally scheduled to be released on September 8 was suspended.
After that, the two leading actors, Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi, each expressed their support for the scheduling adjustment of the series from the perspective of the characters Lao Gu (Gu Wei) and Lin Zhixiao, played in the play, and looked forward to everyone's continued waiting, after all, "good food is not afraid of late".
For the posts of the two leading actors, many viewers also understood and supported them.
Therefore, it can be found that the star drama "The Rest of Your Life, Please Give More Advice" online and offline, inside and outside the drama, all reveal a kind of beautiful atmosphere like the story of the series, and it can be predicted that once this drama is broadcast, it will become the hottest domestic drama in the same period with the "power of the king", and there is no one.
Because, every molecule of "The Rest of Your Life, Please Give More Advice" reveals an unquestionable explosive atmosphere.
First of all, Xiao Zhan + Yang Zi, such a starring collocation, and the end of July 2021 "You are my glory" Yang Yang + Di Lieba, regardless of appearance or popularity, belong to the top lineup with their own traffic.
Although Xiao Zhan has been in turmoil in the past two years, he still relies on his low-key style to stand in a stable position in the entertainment industry, Yang Zi has not been broadcast this year due to the accident of some cooperative male actors, fortunately, this "Rest of your life, please give more advice" has always been the most topical and rating prospects in the current domestic love drama.
Based on the original book of the same name by one of the most mysterious web authors, berlin stonemasons, the play tells a love story that takes place between a clinician and a music student.
Lin Zhixue (played by Yang Zi), who is about to graduate from undergraduate, is at a low point in his life due to his father's cancer, work failure, and love affair, at this time, his father's chief surgeon Gu Wei (Xiao Zhan) enters the life of Lin Zhi School.
It can be seen that this drama still has a little "professionalism" in it, but fortunately this is not a professional drama, its main body is love, so in the requirements of the two professions of doctors and music, it is not as harsh as domestic professional dramas, which can alleviate the pressure of screenwriters and actors in professional technology to some extent.
Judging from the 1 minute and 53 seconds of trailer released so far, the overall rhythm of this drama is relaxed and pleasant, but at the same time there is no lack of performance of life's tribulations.
In addition, Zhai Zilu, the second male of the series, born in 1998, is also particularly worthy of attention, and his "first love face" image is believed to gain a large number of fans after the broadcast of this drama.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="116" > "Knife Row in the Snow"</h1>
Director: Song Xiaofei
Screenwriter: Wang Tian
Starring: Zhang Ruoyun, Hu Jun, Li Gengxi
Genre: martial arts, costumes
Number of episodes: 50
"The Knife In the Snow" has a large number of die-hard fans in the online literary circle, which is where the basis for this novel to be filmed and televisionized lies.
Different from the rhythm of most of the male frequency classic online texts, the text is concise, "The Sword Line in the Snow" quotes the scriptures, the pen is vigorous, although the plot is slow, it is extremely beautiful, more importantly, the characters in the novel are almost unique and recognizable, so the original author of the Beacon Theatre is also regarded as one of the best online authors at present.
In addition to the drama version, "The Knife In the Snow" will also be adapted into a movie by Xinli Media, or will be released in 2022, of course, the most anticipated by fans is the episodic version starring Zhang Ruoyun, the "first student in male frequency costume".
The configuration of this version is not low.
The director is Song Xiaofei, the cinematographer of Guan Hu's film "Killing", "Bullfighting", and Wong Kar-wai's film "A Generation of Grandmasters", and the screenwriter is the first season of "Qing Yu Nian", the screenwriter of "Great Song Youth Chronicle", and the famous industry leader Wang Tian, starring in addition to Zhang Ruoyun and Hu Jun, there are also Qiu Xinzhi, Zhang Tianai, Li Chun, Rong Zishan, Han Haolin and so on.
To some extent, the original work of "Sword Line in the Snow" is a "freehand" book, and its charm lies in a kind of "meaning" of Chinese martial arts, such as splashing ink and leaving blank Chinese paintings, so how to refine the essence of the original work in the drama version is a considerable test.
Among the film and television directors of successive generations in China, only Hu Jinquan, who has made martial arts films such as "Heroine Girl", "Legend in the Mountain", and "Spirit Rain on the Empty Mountain", has mastered this "intention" in his own films, so how to implant this kind of Hu Jinquan-style ethereal and vigorous into the new generation of chivalry that is now more mysterious is a creative problem that "Sword In the Snow" has to face.
Judging from the 1 minute and 51 seconds of trailer currently released, there is a spectrum!
The opening sentence "Little Two, drinking wine" successfully pulls people into the world of "Sword Line in the Snow", after which, Xu Fengnian (played by Zhang Ruoyun), Lao Huang, Xu Xiao (played by Hu Jun), and the white fox face Nangong servant (played by Zhang Tianai) have appeared one after another, among them, a fight with the face of the white fox child, although it is suspected that domestic martial artists have been addicted to slow motion in recent years, they still firmly hold the original style.
The visuals, special effects, color grading, photography, etc. of the whole trailer are also full of texture.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="122" > "Kunlun Shrine"</h1>
Director: Fei Zhenxiang
Starring: Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi, Jiang Chao
Genre: Action, Adventure
At the end of the just-finished "Yunnan Worm Valley", Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi, and Shirley Yang, the iron triangle, in order to uncover the secret of the cloud dust beads that have arrived, decided to go to Tibet, which is where the Kunlun Shrine is located.
At present, Pan Yueming's version has broadcast three parts of "Nuqing Xiangxi", "Longling Labyrinth", and "Yunnan Worm Valley", and one "Kunlun Shrine" to be broadcast, and there is no news to be broadcast, as well as "Jingjie Ancient City", "Yellow Skin Tomb", "South China Sea Tomb", "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" four, of course, for "Jingjie Ancient City", 2016 Jin Dong, Chen Qiaoen version is a pretty good version.

In addition, the rest of the "Ghost Blowing Lights" episodes can be ignored, so the version of "Ghost Blowing Lights" directed by Fei Zhenxiang and starring Pan Yueming deserves to be the crowning work of this series.
Unfortunately, the highly anticipated "Yunnan Worm Valley", which is regarded as the most terrifying work of the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series, after the broadcast, the reputation is far less than that of "Nuqing Xiangxi" and "Longling Labyrinth", although the "Meat Lingzhi" near the end of the series was praised by fans as "close to the original", but the entire series "has many irrelevant characters", "the dialogue is too gag", "the plot is slow" and other problems, still almost let Director Fei Zhenxiang's golden signboard be smashed.
Fortunately, as soon as the trailer of the next "Kunlun Shrine" came out, the audience's familiar Version of Pan Yueming's "Ghost Blowing Lights" came back!
"Kunlun Shrine" is the fourth part of "Ghost Blowing Lanterns", is the sequel to "Yunnan Worm Valley", this part will explore the gold in the snowy Kunlun Mountains, involving the legend of King Gesar, the crystal corpse of the Demon Glacier, etc., the original work is full of mysterious and dangerous things such as Snow Maitreya, Snow Mountain Golden Mummy, Earth Guanyin, Salamander and so on.

How the series will present these strange things, I have to say, is looking forward to!
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="126" > "And Try the World"</h1>
Directors: Yin Tao, Yu Yonggang, Shi Zhanli
Starring: Yang Yang, Zhao Lusi, Xuan Lu
Episodes: 40
Today's domestic costume dramas have almost no original scripts, which are basically adapted according to mature IP.
At present, the more popular male and female costume texts are also difficult to be adapted into flowers, so it has become a good choice to turn your attention to the famous articles of the earlier times and dig up treasure stories in the BBS era that today's readers are not familiar with.
As a result, the famous ancient style romance novelist Qian Lingyue's long masterpiece "And Try the World" has today's episodic version.
Unlike most of the ancient saying authors who pour their energy into talking about love and arguing between palaces and palaces, the work pattern of Qianyue is grand, quite a style of male martial arts family and national righteousness, so "And Try the World" will also become one of the most unique and courageous episodes in recent years.
The series mainly tells the story of the male protagonist Feng Lanxi (played by Yang Yang) and the female protagonist Bai Fengxi (played by Zhao Lusi) facing a difficult choice between the vast world and personal love.
Judging from the trailer, Feng Lanxi, played by Yang Yang, can be described as a handsome god, which is very suitable for the beautiful jade personality of "slim gentleman, white and flawless", and Zhao Lusi's qingling and beauty, which also seems to come out of the original novel, with full charm, and the two match, which can be called one of the most eye-catching and suitable starring lineups in domestic costume dramas in recent years.
In addition to "Who is the Murderer", "The Rest of Your Life, Please Give More Advice", "The Sword in the Snow", "Kunlun Shrine", and "Try the World", there are many high-quality domestic dramas to be broadcast waiting to meet the audience, such as Huang Xuan, Wang Yibo starring in "The Wind Rises Luoyang", Zhang Ruoyun, Li Qin's return to the second season of "Qing Yu Nian", Bai Jingting, Zhao Jinmai and noonday sunshine cooperation "Infinite Stream" theme "Beginning" and so on.
Therefore, it can also be believed that the prosperity of Chinese opera is coming!
