Have you watched the new drama "The Long Season" starring Fan Wei and Qin Hao? The temperament of the best domestic crime drama of the year, worth recommending!
The story of the play is gripping, the rhythm is progressive, the relationship between the characters is full, the sense of age is very good, and the performances of actors such as Fan Wei and Qin Hao are also very good, which is really good-looking!
The most amazing thing is the director's refreshing handling of audio-visual, the picture composition is very stylistic and beautiful, and the transition scheduling between plays is even more amazing. There are three scenes that are very impressive, which directly proves that this drama is worthy of a high score of 9.0!
The first episode opens with a stunning start.
The camera moves slowly along a cornfield, which not only conveys the beauty of the picture, but also presents the basic rhythm of the series; As the camera moves, we can see a train speeding, and then slowly bring out the protagonist of the episode, Wang Xiang (played by Fan Wei), after a "speed up", the whistle sounds, the camera is also pulled up, and then slowly lowered, actually presenting another state of time and space based on the same scene!
The railway has changed into a road, the train has become a taxi, and the protagonist Wang Xiang has become middle-aged and old! This transition processing is not only smooth and silky, but also a good account of the change of time and the transformation of characters! It is wonderful to experience this audiovisual language.
And the two transition scenes around the protagonist Wang Yang (played by Liu Yitie) in the play are even more amazing!
The first scene is when Wang Yang first meets Shen Mo (played by Li Gengxi), when he asks the name of the bright girl in front of him, the camera first plays a normal front and back, explaining the position relationship between the two characters;
Then the camera began to focus on Wang Yang, slowly pushing, Wang Yang stood still, the camera began to move slowly around him, and a wonderful scene appeared: the expression on Wang Yang's face gradually changed from excitement to solemnity, the light on his face suddenly dimmed, and the surrounding environment suddenly became gloomy, and even directly let him rain, and the scene in front of him also changed!
It's a god-level transition! So creative!
Another scene happened when Wang Yang washed his face and looked in the mirror.
Wang Yang, who was originally refreshed and had a vigorous and sunny face, looked in the mirror after washing his face, and he was very careful to ruffle his hair, which looked like an ordinary picture;
But as he lowered his head to wash his face, the camera turned to the mirror, but the light gradually became dim, and when Wang Yang looked up at the mirror again, the whole picture atmosphere became gloomy! Wang Yang was wearing wet hair, and looked at the mirror with a somewhat frightened expression, which directly made people's scalps numb!
This is another advanced treatment!
Director Xin Shuang conveys to us the dramatic content related to the change of time, the change of the situation and the inner change of the characters in this way. This not only enhances the texture of the series, highlights the director's audiovisual style, but also enriches the shaping of the characters well, making the story and characters of the series more attractive.
In terms of these three transitions alone, "The Long Season" is worth chasing.
We can not only see the stylized opening and closing features of the episodes, but also hear the characteristic episodes and ending songs, and even perceive the expression of the Northeast crime genre that is very different from the past - the play is no longer a cold atmosphere, but has a lot of sunshine, bright style, and is quite comfortable to watch.
As the plot slowly unfolds, we will also notice that the suspense of the whole drama is well handled, and in the seemingly ordinary life scenes and soothing narrative rhythm, the truth of the story has always attracted the curiosity of the viewer. Director Xin Shuang's handling of suspense and crime types is indeed wonderful; And the Xin-style aesthetics he presents with composition, mirror movement, tone, texture, etc., is indeed very good.
Also, the acting skills of the two leading actors Fan Wei and Qin Hao are also highlights that cannot be ignored in "The Long Season". How well did they act? You might as well catch it and feel it.
