The costume suspense drama "Nine Righteous People" premieres tonight, led by Wu Qian, and 4 supporting roles can be expected

Can there be new tricks in costume suspense dramas?

This year's domestic suspense drama seems to have become the world of period dramas.

One "Crazy" and one "Long Season", it seems that domestic dramas are out of the 90s, and they can no longer make suspense dramas.

Although there are dramas such as "Daming under the Microscope", "Lotus Building" and "Da Song Youth Chronicle 2" that can barely be classified as costume suspense dramas, suspense is indeed not their main type.

In the end, can there be a "Tang Dynasty Mystery Record" this year, which is a masterpiece of costume suspense drama at the root?

It's time for them to appear - "The Nine Righteous People". Tonight, Tencent Video.

Starring, Wu Qian, Li Jiahang, Qiao Zhenyu, and old drama bones such as Deng Cuiwen and Hou Changrong helped.

This drama has a genre taste with "Detective Di Renjie" and "Young Bao Qingtian" in the early years, and they are pure costume suspense dramas.

Moreover, it is also a female revenge drama.

Layers of fog, women being violated, righteous people taking revenge...

It can be called the domestic costume version of "dark glory".

What's more, it's not just superficially cool - this year's costume suspense drama dark horse, I bet it's her.

1. Story: The ancient embroidered woman was invaded, the righteous man took revenge for seven years, and this domestic version of the dark glory is so sensual

"Nine Righteous People", adapted from Li Bocoon's Douban reading serial novel "Nine Righteous People".

In this traffic era, artists have listened a lot. The righteous have long been known.

What is a righteous person -

There is a saying in "Mozi Fei Feng": "The righteous are above, and the world will rule." ”

There is a story in the "History" that (King Wu) fell, and Bo Yi and Shuqi knocked on the horse and advised... Left and right want to kill them both. But the prince said, "This righteous man is also." ”

The so-called righteous person is an ancient Chinese righteous character.

The story revolves around a famous "smoke and rain embroidery building".

Lin Rulan, who was 16 years old, was naïve and did not know the world, and she was sent to the smoke and rain embroidery building because of her solid family, and she wanted to follow a famous teacher to learn art.

Not only was she deceived by Wu Lian's feelings, she was defiled with her innocence, but she was also intimidated by him afterwards, she ignored the opposition of her best friend Meng Wan (played by Wu Qian), gambled on her own name to sue Wu Lian (played by Qiao Zhenyu), the owner of the embroidery building,

However, many parties had no way to sue, and finally committed suicide to prove his innocence.

Meng Wan has been lying on his salary for seven years, gathering Liu Xin (played by Li Jiahang) and other "nine righteous people" who are inextricably linked to the Rulan case to form a revenge team and plot to overturn the case.

There are two main points in the story:

One is suspense.

The suspense here does not refer to the murder of the girl. Wu Lian is an evil person, without any suspense.

The suspense is: how did Meng Wan, a powerless woman, lie dormant for seven years, gather comrades-in-arms, collect evidence, look for witnesses, find out the dynamics of officialdom, and accumulate contacts and financial resources?

The last move overthrew Wu Lian, who was backed by the Duchess of Ning Guo, and officials at all levels turned big things into small things.

Some people may say that knowing the murderer and the ending, is it necessary to look at the process?

It's safe to say that there is.

The point of reasoning and suspense is not to analyze who is the evil person layer by layer, but to see how the nine righteous people make the wicked fall under the law in the dark world.

It's like putting dominoes upside down, putting the audience in God's perspective the whole time.

See how the heroine stripped the cocoon all the way and searched for evidence and solved the puzzle.

The process of piecing together clues and finding clues will make the audience feel a different kind of refreshment.

The second is revenge.

The best thing about this drama is that there is no justice in the world, and the nine righteous people ask for it themselves.

The first righteous man and victim, is Lin Rulan, played by Hu Yixuan, and Meng Wan's good girlfriend.

Why is she also righteous? Because she not only broke Wu Lian's attempt to misbehave against Meng Wan and save her friend, she was also the first girl to stand up and accuse the wicked, and finally died Mingzhi, and then there was a later story.

The second righteous man is Liu Xian, played by Li Jiahang, who is idle, offended Wu Lian for Qian to pass the paper for Lin Rulan, was framed and wrongfully imprisoned for seven years, and was also discounted one leg. He is the force of the team.

The third righteous person is Liu Sanniang played by Tang Jingmei, who was also a person who embroidered the building, was defiled by Wu Lian, and was forced to become a prostitute after getting away with it. She is also a master of piano and dance, responsible for inquiring and spreading information.

The fourth righteous man is a military general in the capital who pursues fairness and justice, and is the only official representative of the team.

The fifth righteous man is Feng Da of the Hua Lion Dart Bureau, responsible for armed support.

The sixth righteous person is Huang Jiaojiao of Huang Kee Embroidery Village played by Hai Lu, who is the opponent of Yanyu Embroidery Building, who has been persecuted repeatedly in business and is the financial support of the team.

The seventh righteous man is Li Chunfeng, a 27-year-old down-and-out scholar, who has been insulted by Wu Lian and wants to avenge the innocent Lin Rulan, is the team's copywriter, and is good at pickpocketing.

The eighth righteous Yang Yutong, played by Lin Rulan's friend, is a friend who takes revenge.

The ninth righteous man is the awakening of Qingshui'an, who was also defiled by Wu Lian.

Nine righteous people, including dart masters, martial generals, flower kui, noble women, scholars, monks, and female businessmen, have been gathering power for seven years, just to seek justice.

In the past, the focus of costume suspense dramas often focused on strange cases and mysteries, and character creation was easily overlooked.

Under the setting of Jiuyiren, the character image is reversed, and then deepens the audience's impression.

Whether it is the murderer, the victim, or the protagonist, they can become fuller as a result.

Rather than saying that this is an anti-costume suspense drama, I prefer to call it a human revenge drama in a suspenseful shell.

In the original work, Wu Lian was protected by the Duchess of Ningguo and killed 23 women, but he was unharmed.

In the end, it was only a few small people in the city who brought him down, if it was alone, he would not put it in his eyes at all, but the righteous people joined forces, and they really shook the big tree, and the righteous pride behind this revenge is the most wonderful place.

Compared with the classic dark glory of Korean drama revenge dramas, this drama has an extra wonderful, that is, the revenge of the righteous in ancient China.

I like a scene in the play, the eight righteous people gather together, holding a cup as an oath, and the verdict is written on the lantern in the middle, the content of the verdict is not sad but brave praise, revenge does not respect heaven and earth, and respects justice and justice.

Such a story, of course, is deeper than the sadomasochistic love of the three lives and three lives of the ancient puppet drama, and it brings too much feeling.

2, actors: Wu Qian, Qiao Zhenyu, Li Jiahang, who have reversed their roles, and powerful people to help, stable

The director of this play, Zang Xichuan, has cooperated with Zhang Yimou for 8 years, and has successively served as the first deputy director of films such as "Full of Golden Armour" and "Jinling Thirteen", and is known as "Zhang Yimou's first deputy director" by the industry.

The independently directed "Ten-Day Game" and "Sleeping Garden" are all suspense drama works with more than 7 points.

It can be said that this is a director who is good at both costume and suspense, and the main creator is stable.

Look at the actors again.

In order to make a story of revenge of a righteous man look good, whether these characters are vivid and convincing is crucial.

The starring actors selected for "Nine Righteous People" are not taking an unusual path.

The starring roles of this play are Wu Qian, Li Jiahang, Qiao Zhenyu, and the main supporting roles are Hu Yixuan, Tang Jingmei, Yang Yutong, Hai Lu, Deng Cuiwen, Hou Changrong, etc.

I have the most expectations, there are 6 of them.

First, Wu Qian.

Finding the former sweet sister representative Wu Qian to play Meng Wan, the revenge heroine of this play, is undoubtedly a bold decision, but Wu Qian, who has experienced ups and downs in marriage and ups and downs in life, is now playing this role, which is just right.

Wu Qian in the play is no longer a girl, but has a sense of age after going through vicissitudes, which is exactly what the character needs, how can the revenge heroine be a girl who does not know the world.

Wu Qian in the play has a kind of indifferent eyes that have seen all the ugliness of the world, have the calmness and beauty of thousands of sails, and confront the powerful, still calm and relaxed.

Wu Qian's performance shows both righteousness and hidden anger, while not falling into a flat routine, retaining a trace of stubbornness in the depths of the character.

Sharp and wise, full and restrained.

Several urban dramas after Wu Qian's comeback have received an average response, and the most outstanding is the cameo in the opening scene of "Go to a Windy Place",

Her acting skills have actually improved, it's time to play different roles, this is her best chance.

Second, Qiao Zhenyu.

Wu Qian's subversion is big enough, but Qiao Zhenyu's subversion is even greater, and the once beautiful world has played a big villain who is dressed in a beast.

Wu Lian in the play preaches and teaches on the surface, but behind the ground is Sven scum who is close to the girl's body, the so-called Wu Lian actually implies that there is no shame.

Qiao Zhenyu's state is indeed not as good as it was back then, but his acting skills are a good complement.

In several scenes in the play, he is silent on the surface, but the aggression and oppression of his eyes penetrate the screen.

After Ouyang Shaogong, Qiao Zhenyu did not lack filming, and his acting skills in the hit "Da Sheng Kui" were also quite outstanding, and there were not many roles in the circle.

Playing a villain with high IQ and high emotional intelligence like Wu Lian, who has almost no shortcomings in addition to brazen and lewd girls, is a challenge and an excellent opportunity.

I am optimistic that Qiao Zhenyu will shine with his acting skills this time.

Third, Li Jiahang.

From Li Wei that year to the sitcom "Breaking Elite 2" with a Douban score of eight this year, no matter how Li Jiahang acted in the past, his character image was a funny man.

Until this time, he finally played another scruffy quack.

He had no intention of being a righteous man, but because he was involved in things for money, he was wronged for seven years and broke a leg.

Li Jiahang's appearance and performance in the trailer are quite eye-catching.

A raised eye, and the expression and action were written all over the years.

A crying scene after the murder of a companion is performed with painful compassion and struggle.

Good comedians are often acting treasures, and I am optimistic that this will be Li Jiahang's acting breakthrough.

Fourth, Hu Yixuan.

As a high-profile new little flower, her role is also very dramatic this time.

Ben was a carefree girl, who was stripped of her innocence, had no way to sue, and was humiliated and slapped.

Then in the wedding dress, but the heart is like death, joy and sorrow.

Finally, open arms and fall into the endless night.

In the past, she was known for her sweet facial features and fresh temperament, which is a good opportunity for her to show her acting skills, watching the trailer, her performance is not bad.

Finally, let's talk about the two finale old drama bones.

Fifth, Hou Changrong.

When he was young, Hou Changrong was a descendant of the Yang Opera Jin School.

King Beijing and Liu Xianglian in "Dream of Red Mansions".

At that time, his gentle temperament and handsome face can completely crush many popular traffic today.

As he grew older, Hou Changrong transformed into a powerful person and starred in many period dramas and spy war dramas, and his role as Zhang Julu in "Sword in the Snow" is impressive.

This time, the imperial court official he played was sandwiched between justice and power, and the old drama bones supported the scene and stabilized.

Sixth, Deng Cuiwen.

As long as you are a fan of Hong Kong dramas, it is impossible not to watch her starring in the "Heroes" series, a fourth grandmother, a nine girl, making her the first Lianzhuang queen in TVB history, and also becoming Hong Kong TVB's "40-point ratings diva". 　

After saying goodbye to wireless over the years, Deng Cuiwen has also appeared in domestic dramas, but I always feel that none of them have made her play to the fullest.

This time she played the Duchess of Shanningguo, the big backer of the wicked, knowing that Wu Lian was full of evil, and she wanted to protect it, not so much to protect Wu Lian, but to protect her own face.

There is a scene where she roars angrily, "Even if Wu Lian wants to die, he must die innocently", which has the taste of the nine girls back then.

Plus the absolutely beautiful Liu Sanniang played by Tang Jingmei.

Tian Xiaoling, played by Yang Yutong, the little flower who came out of the circle in "Sweeping Black Storm".

Huang Jiaojiao played by Hai Lu.

There are not many popular actors gathered in this drama, but there is no lack of acting skills in those who play the nine righteous and the wicked. If the character has a play, the play will be good.

3, breaking: how else can costume suspense dramas be filmed? "Nine Righteous People" may be able to make a sample

Domestic costume suspense is undoubtedly encountering bottlenecks.

Compared with the era of "Detective Di Renjie" and "Young Bao Qingtian", when costume suspense masterpieces were frequent, there have been many suspense dramas in the past ten years, but there are fewer that leave a deep impression on the audience.

One reason is that capital is increasingly betting on sweet pets and ancient dolls, and costume suspense has gradually become a bonus to ancient puppet dramas, and giving more to less depends on the mood of the drama party and platform.

Second, the few remaining costume suspense dramas are also increasingly falling into routines.

"Nine Righteous People" has opened a new path, it turns out that costume suspense dramas have a lot of stories to tell.

Wu Qian's simple rabbit who is non-aggressive on the surface is actually planning a seven-year overall situation, and finally succeeds in avenging her friends.

The series tells an ancient story, but the consciousness is contemporary, and like "Dark Glory", the protagonist has no forgiveness, no ending whitewashing, only revenge to the end.

After seeing the forced reunion and the villain's reverse ending, such an ending makes people feel very happy.

In addition, what the play can leave a deep impression on the audience should be the living characters.

In the trailer, no one dropped the chain in acting, especially Wu Qian's plan to overturn the case seven years later, and when she drew her eyebrows, her sharp eyes, and a sense of revenge and refreshment.

Tonight, let's see how the Nine Righteous People "embroider the building to make close friends, and the righteousness is calmed down."

Domestic costume suspense, and how to break the game.
