If there was a parallel world, how would you want to live? This seemingly hypothetical question has an answer in the hit drama "The Basic Law of Genius".
There are good dramas every year, and this year is especially many. A few days ago, the dual-time and space-time growth inspirational national drama "Genius Basic Law" directed by Shen Yan and starring Lei Jiayin, Zhang Zifeng and Zhang Xincheng was broadcast on iQiyi. As early as before the start of the broadcast, the number of reservations for the drama reached 2 million, and after the start of the broadcast, the "Basic Law of Genius" also lived up to expectations, and the popularity value of the station exceeded 8,000 in the 48 hours of the line, and the topic continued to rise.
If you look at the concept of "parallel world" alone, many viewers mistakenly think that the play will be a single science fiction theme, but in fact, the drama includes both a touching father-daughter relationship, an inspirational growth line, and a fresh and beautiful youth campus element... So many types are mixed together, there is no sense of chaos stewing, but more fresh and creative. A few episodes of the drama chased down, the protagonists in the process of learning mathematics in the process of showing the outlook on life, even if it is ordinary and ordinary, but also have the spirit of hard work and courage to face difficulties, but also let the audience have a strong sense of substitution, so that everyone harvested full of blood and touch.
Parallel double space-time + mathematical research
The subject matter is novel and brainy
The TV series "Basic Law of Genius" is adapted from the novel of the same name, telling the story of mathematical genius Lin Zhaosheng and his daughter Lin Chaoxi and high-IQ teenager Pei Zhi, who find themselves in mathematical reasoning and dual-time and space interaction. In the play, 23-year-old Lin Chaoxi and Ji Jiang of "Strawberry World" become 11-year-old elementary school students because they come to another time and space "Cheese World" because of a photo, which leads to a series of stories.
I believe that just the plot synopsis has made people wonder what this drama is like? In fact, to borrow a golden phrase from the famous scene in the play: "The unknown is the most wonderful thing", this sentence is not only applied to mathematics, but also to the play itself in the "Basic Law of Genius".
Domestic dramas have always paid attention to "breakthroughs", but how to break through is a matter of opinion. The Basic Law of Genius occupies a "new" in terms of subject matter, and even "new" cannot be defined. The parallel double time and space set in the play is almost unprecedented in previous domestic dramas. It is also on this basis that when two time and space characters merge into one, the wonderful one will not come?
The Basic Law of Genius can be described as high energy at the beginning.
After explaining the background of the story and the relationship between the characters, Lin Chaoxi, an adult played by Zhang Zifeng, returned to 2006 with his friend Ji Jiangyin, and high energy also began. When the 23-year-old soul collided violently with the 11-year-old body, Lin Chaoxi, who was "fine", was completely confused like the audience in front of the screen. At this time, the narrative shot also depicts everything that Lin Chaoxi, an "adult" with the identity of a primary school student, sees in the first person: she suddenly becomes a child of the welfare home, she runs around in the noise in the face of an unfamiliar environment, and a long shot that is even a little shaky makes the audience feel very substitutionary, and also looks at the welfare home in front of her with Lin Chaoxi, who has nothing to do with her before. The camera follows Zhang Zifeng from the house to the outside of the house, and then runs to the car parked in front of the welfare home, the audience will see that Zhang Zifeng is still running out, and as soon as the camera turns to the car glass, the shadow reflected in the glass has become Wang Shengdi.
I have to say that on this piece of footage, people have seen "creepy", but it is really unprecedented, how to "admire" it.
When it comes to the "new" theme, in addition to the dual time and space setting, "Genius Basic Law" broadcasts several episodes, and each line is very eye-catching.
In "Strawberry World", Lin Zhaosheng gave up his dream of going abroad for his daughter, and even had Alzheimer's disease for 5 years, he has been hiding it from his daughter, but instead advised her not to compromise on life, and if she has a dream, she must pay action, and if she likes to chase alone. In the "Cheese World", Lin Zhaosheng, who loves rock and roll wearing ripped pants and riding a motorcycle, faces the strange Lin Chaoxi, and is gradually awakened by the affection in his bones in his contacts with him again and again, and even resigns for his daughter in order to move to the place where she trains to accompany her to learn mathematics. This kind of father-daughter relationship made many viewers shout directly, "The fatherly love in life is not said in words but is reflected in actual actions, as if seeing the way I get along with my father."
In addition, although Lin Chaoxi and Pei Zhi's "Youth Campus Line" has not played much so far, it is highlighted, whether it is the double arrow crush story of Sunshine Senior and Fresh Student Sister interpreted by Zhang Xincheng and Zhang Zifeng, or the story of mutual help and mutual assistance interpreted by teenagers Lin Ziye and Wang Shengdi, all of which make people feel the beauty of youth across the screen. Coupled with the "suspense reasoning line" that is buried everywhere in the play, it is such a drama that combines multiple elements into one that cannot be defined, but there is an impulse that makes people want to chase the whole part in one breath.
In addition to the fact that each line is very exciting, "The Basic Law of Genius" as a domestic drama can be said to be the first time to let everyone see the beauty of mathematics in the form of film and television, and through the exploration of mathematics by the characters in the play, feel that whether it is a genius or an ordinary person, as long as they work hard and bravely, they will have the blood of harvest.
The play reproduced famous mathematical problems such as Bash Game, Königsberg Seven Bridges, as well as mathematical knowledge such as probability problems and drawer principles, so that the audience in front of the TV seemed to have inadvertently learned new mathematical knowledge points. Especially in the training camp, Professor Zeng used simple words to reveal the meaning of learning mathematics for everyone, so that many people found that mathematics was so wonderful. It is also this drama that makes us understand that mathematics can be learned well, and that there is such a wonderful and profound world hidden in the mathematics that everyone hates the most.
Full acting online
The light of casting
In addition to the novel theme itself, a group of actors in the play have also successfully escorted the quality of the play. This first has to say that the three main actors of the play.
Lei Jiayin plays his father Lin Zhaosheng, perfectly interpreting the completely different states in two parallel worlds. Lin Zhaosheng in the strawberry world is an old father with hard work, who is kind to his daughter's eyes and extremely restrained. Even because of Alzheimer's disease, he sometimes showed a hollow pathology in his eyes, making people want to cry inexplicably after knowing the inside story. And in the cheese world, Lin Zhaosheng suddenly became a teenager younger, debauched and long hair, and had no time to take care of his girlfriend's eyes from the beginning to stare at his daughter, Lei Jiayin put the "father" of different ages and different mentalities very well.
Zhang Zifeng, as a popular little flower, is also synonymous with his acting skills, and this time he continues to maintain a consistent standard in the "Basic Law of Genius". In the strawberry world, she exudes a step-by-step and oppressive atmosphere from head to toe, as if every step of her life is just to complete the task, and she has never believed in what she likes in her heart. Whether it is mentioning mathematics or Pei Zhi, she is a evasive look, and she wants to talk back, which means a lot. In the cheese world, Zhang Zifeng first showed panic and fear in the face of the strange identity of the strange world, and then slowly accepted the reality in a conversation with Ji Jiang, bravely accepting herself and the status quo, and the strength in her body was also awakening, not only every move was more determined and targeted, and even the look and tone of speech became completely different from before.
In the first few episodes, Zhang Xincheng did not appear much but was very exciting. In his first appearance, he was woken up by an alarm clock in his sleep, and then mysteriously stalked at the door of Lin Chaoxi's house, and put the key time-space confused photo into the mailbox in front of Lin's house. And a few times, he appeared in the form of memories each time, the standard image of the first love senior, let people see the fawn after the fawn. But in such a comparison, some viewers reacted: No! What made Pei Zhi change from a sunshine master to a mysterious man? At a glance, Zhang Xincheng's interpretation really has a suspenseful taste.
Several supporting characters in the play are also quite outstanding. Wang Xiao has always been known as a drama throwing face, this time playing the Olympic number teacher Zhang Shuping, not smiling and teaching methods are severe, in the play by the children benchmarked "Harry Potter" in the "Snape" Professor, across the screen are felt suffocated. Liu Lin plays Pei's mother, Luo Jing, who has a strong desire to control and only gives the child what she thinks is right. Geng Le plays Pei's father Pei Donglai, an old and good man sandwiched between his wife and son. It can be said that these three play steadily in the play, almost as soon as they appear, they make the audience feel "stable". Of course, there is also Wang Youjun, who plays Ji Jiang, from a big star to an orphan who missed the opportunity to be adopted, he also accurately presents Ji Jiang's two states of time and space, secondary two, childish, kind... Such a Ji Jiang is really loved.
Finally, I have to say that the three young actors Wang Shengdi, Lin Ziye and Fu Bohan, who play the teenagers Lin Chaoxi, Pei Zhi and Ji Jiang in the play, in the words of the audience and the original party, these three children can be called "the light of casting". Wang Shengdi explained what is the actor's sense of faith at a young age. Looking at her performance in the play, I really believe that she has a 23-year-old soul in her bones. In particular, she must show the temperament of primary school students in front of the mother and school classmates in the welfare home, but also show the soul of an adult, from being irritable and bent on going home to slowly compromising and accepting reality, and then having the courage to start becoming the main backbone of everyone, Wang Shengdi is actually another "heroine" in the play.
In addition, Lin Ziye, who appeared with a high light, was indeed stamped by the original party as "the origin of Xiao Pei", calm and responsible, a talented teenager, and everyone's demeanor at a young age, which is completely in line with everyone's imagination of Xiao Peizhi. And Fu Bohan, who has a funny responsibility, is eccentric, interpreting the role of more than 20 years old without any sense of violation, and every move has the shadow of the adult Ji Jiang. It can be said that the three young actors are all down-to-earth acting schools. Strength should not be underestimated, small age, the future can be expected.
The plot is really grounded
Chicken broth should be dried
Every drama has its spiritual core. The Basic Law of Genius is no exception. While "a sci-fi dual-temporal drama can make the audience feel real" sounds like a paradox, it is true. It is precisely because of the blessing of the above two aspects that the audience is more and more excited when watching this drama, and even those "inspirational chicken soups" in the play no longer sound like a suspended void, but are real enough to make the audience feel that it is a reference.
Lin Chaoxi, as an ordinary person, her experience has resonated with many viewers. In the face of her father and Pei Zhi's genius aura, although she likes mathematics in her heart, she is extremely unconfident, so she has been avoiding mathematics and dare not face her heart, and she wants to be admitted to the graduate school of mathematics but never dares to take action.
In the parallel world, Lin Chaoxi dissected himself in a dialogue with Ji Jiang, bluntly saying that "the things he likes but there is no talent", he did not expect Ji Jiang to say "Don't define yourself so early first, the road knows the horsepower", so that Lin Chaoxi and the people in front of the screen are all enlightened: Yes, there are only a few talents, facing the road of life, facing their own choices, is not the most important thing to work hard?
Then, Lin Chaoxi regained her self-confidence in the Bash game with Zhang Liang, and also made her realize that even if she did not have the talent, as long as she faced it bravely, her hard work would be rewarded.
In the Olympic number training camp, in several rounds of competition with "Snape" Zhang Shuping, Lin Chaoxi gradually proved his strength and strengthened his mathematical dreams. Especially when someone wants to give up, Lin Chaoxi has also grown through encouragement to others. She no longer feels inferior because of lack of talent, but chooses to face reality and bravely face challenges, leading her friends to learn together, which makes people's blood boil.
Lin Zhaosheng loves mathematics no matter what world he is in, no matter what profession he is. In Strawberry World, he is an accountant, but he has been working on the ultimate mathematical puzzle in his spare time. In the cheese world, although Lin Zhaosheng is only a security guard in the Children's Palace, the security room is also filled with books on mathematics, and he promised his daughter Lin Chaoxi that he would volunteer to give math lessons to the children in the training camp every day, especially in the fun mathematics of the sweet potato class. Lin Zhaosheng used simple and interesting language to explain the birth of numbers to children, explaining what is mathematics and what is Olympic numbers. He said, "Olympiad is a way to abandon high-level tools when encountering difficulties and use breakthrough thinking to solve problems like sages." Hearing this, friends, how many people understand the difference between Olympiad and mathematics for the first time in their lives? How many people were poked by Lao Lin's words, reflecting on whether they had picked up an axe when they encountered difficulties, and whether they had built which bridge of their own? Have you crossed the long river that belongs to you?
In addition, Pei Zhi, Ji Jiang, Lu Zhihao and the small friends of the training camp, each has their own character arc. Just like us in ordinary life, some people are high-IQ geniuses, but most of them are ordinary people like Ji Jiang, Lu Zhihao, and the small friends of the training camp. In the face of high-intensity challenges, experienced failures, and even wanted to give up at one point, but they used their own efforts to improve their grades, maybe not the best, but to do their best and leave no regrets. After watching the play, I found that both geniuses and ordinary people are practicing "consistent efforts and unslack life".
The first few episodes of the drama are chased down, and although the story in the play has a certain idealization and the aura of the protagonist, there are certain samples in real life. The ordinary people in the play are no strangers to us in front of the audience, and even more like you and me in life. Whether it is ordinary people or geniuses, they will want to escape or give up in the face of difficulties, but "hard work can reap the rewards" and "overcome difficulties with courage", which is the law that will not change in any time and space. So the concentration of chicken soup in the Basic Law of Genius is just right.
