"Under the City" is set.
I thought that after "Agent Mission", it would take a long time to have a new suspense drama to chase, but I didn't expect to wait for "Under the City" of X Theater so soon.
This drama tells the story of the thirty-seventh year of the Wanli Ming Dynasty, the county seat of Yin County, Jiangnan, murders occurred one after another, the identities of the deceased were different, unrelated to each other, the bodies were arranged in bizarre poses, and there was a sentence left at each crime scene. As the apprentice of the first victim, Xiao Catch Kuaiqu Sangen (played by Bai Yufan) cooperated with his friends to investigate, and as the investigation deepened, people of the three religions and nine streams, local agriculture, industry and commerce, etc. appeared one after another, and in the fog, an old case from ten years ago surfaced.
In the trailer,
- There is some undiscovered link between the victims.
Qu Sangeng, Song Chen, Gao Shicong and others joined forces to solve the mystery and find the truth.
The process is twisty and bizarre!
The biggest feeling after watching the trailer is that this must be an addictive suspense crime drama, which not only has an interlocking case design and wonderful reasoning process, but also complex and rich emotional entanglements.
The main creative team said that this is a case with modern elements placed in an ancient context.
This setting breaks the stereotype that ancient cases are established stereotypes.
It expands the audience while increasing visibility.
The addition of modern elements, as well as the fact that every frame in the trailer is comparable to the movie, makes people "happy" their eyes while using their brains to guess the direction of the plot.
It is the third suspense drama to be broadcast on X Theater.
The first is the suspense drama "The Long Season" with only 12 episodes and a strong response.
Its attraction is the unique setting - the old factory in the northeast, and the cornfield that cannot be seen at a glance, and the wonderful plot.
Also a suspense drama, "The Long Season" highlights the helplessness in life, and the alternative "criminal investigation" story of three non-professionals who persist in uncovering the truth step by step.
Surprisingly, the story is addictive.
Because, in the play, what we see is not only the truth revealed many years later, but also the complexity and warmth of human nature.
"Under the City", which is also 12 episodes, continues the concept of X Theater to create a boutique short drama.
Will it continue the popularity of The Long Season?
The answer is yes.
Qu San even regarded the master as his family since he became a catcher, and suddenly lost this person, which made him, who had already gradually relied on the master, very uncomfortable and angry.
He vows to find Master's killer.
In the process of finding the real murderer, he and Gao Shicong played by Liu Yitong, Song Chen played by Ning Li, Leng Guier played by Xiang Hanzhi, and Feng Kechai played by Zhang Haowei, and Lin Siniang, a dusty woman played by Zeng Li, have intersected.
After the fog cleared, they discovered that the murderer's purpose was to make the truth about the Lujiazhuang fire 10 years ago public.
Obviously, in the plot that advances layer by layer, there must be many hidden details waiting for the audience to discover and taste.
In addition to the wonderful plot, the wonderful interpretations of the protagonists are worth looking forward to.
- After Bai Yufan was known from "Mountains and Seas", one of the most recognizable roles is Liu Xinli in "Octagonal Pavilion Fog", a young policeman who has just gone to work with a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
This time, he played the same type of role again, although one is modern and one is ancient times, but the attachment to the truth is common.
- Ning Li, a powerful actor who was famous in the 90s of last century, after years of polishing, is more handy in controlling any type of role.
The image he created in the blazing "Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth" and the deep impression he left on the audience are the best proof.
- Not to mention Zeng Li, this post-70s actress, after the baptism of years, while retaining her beauty, her acting skills have also risen step by step.
In the play, she plays the proprietress of a green building who is consistent with her beloved despite being in the dust.
- It is worth mentioning that Liu Yitong, the son of the famous actor and known as the most charismatic uncle, Liu Yitong also joined the play.
His role is Qu Sangen's junior henchman Gao Shicong.
Is it better than blue out of blue, or is it difficult to escape the curse of dragging down the legs of the previous generation?
Who are good and who are evil in these characters, and what kind of grievances are entangled?
We'll see!
