Remember when the theme of costume suspense and power intrigue began to dominate domestic dramas?
That's right, it's the eternal white moonlight "Langya List" in everyone's hearts.
Without love brains and white lotuses, with the prevalence of ancient costumes, suspense and scheming have become the audience's favorite.
However, although the theme has grabbed a lot, very few can really enter the hearts of the audience.
What can be called a phenomenal explosion, of course, is still the "Qing Yu Nian", which sweeps the domestic drama market and is unrivaled.
The second part is about to move, and the materials alone can cause the whole network to boil.
And in recent years, several dramas such as "The Great Song Youth", "Tang Dynasty Tricks" and "Lotus Building" can really be regarded as a small explosion in word-of-mouth popularity.
However, when everyone was still looking forward to the arrival of "Qing Yu Nian 2", another trump card was thrown out -
"Under the City" appeared in the X theater in a low-key manner like "The Long Season", with suspense and a small number of comedy elements, and power intrigue in the middle.
However, even if it seems to be a general publicity lineup, the premiere only released 3 episodes, directly broke into the top three of the suspense list, and opened a high score of 8.2.
What is the mystery of "Under the City", and what kind of story will be told in just 12 episodes?
The beginning of the good show -
The main story is slower on the surface, but it is full of details in the savouring.
The opening chapter throws the murder in front of the audience.
The head of the cold catcher died tragically, was pierced through the entire body by a palanquin, and then stood in the field disguised as a scarecrow. His head and neck had obvious strangulation marks, and the cervical vertebrae were broken, which turned out to be "hanged".
The master was suddenly killed, and the fast male protagonist Qu Sangen (played by Bai Yufan) embarked on the road to avenge his finding out the truth.
But this road is extremely bumpy, and one bizarre case after another has been constantly experienced.
In the first few episodes, the most fascinating thing about "Under the City" is the various metaphors.
First, the code name given to Zhixian by the cold catcher.
After more than twenty years of practice, he divided the officials who served into five categories -
"Wolf" is greedy and the most vicious, and "dog" is good at housekeeping.
The "snake" seems to be soft and weak, but in fact it is the most toxic and climbs the fastest.
"Rat" is the most traitor and greedy, and he can't let go of even a little oil and water, and the favorite of the cold catcher is the "cat official".
Others are docile in their hair, except for playing and sleeping, and when they are fed, they will not think about "catching mice" at all.
Well, this is simply full of irony.
Second, Mother Lin and the cold catcher.
Unexpectedly, the last person Leng Chao saw before his death was Mother Lin of the custom venue, and she was also his old friend.
And the one who knows him best is also this Lin mother, you must know that the cold catcher has a wife and daughter.
What is even more unexpected is that after learning of his death, the lover took out all his life savings and let the male protagonist transfer it to the family of the cold catcher, and did not leave a name.
The humility of women in the feudal era, you can't accuse Mother Yang of meddling, and what did the wife of the cold catcher do wrong, huh?
Third, the people's fear of officials.
Every episode of "Under the Bustling City" repeatedly uses details to show the people's fear of officers and soldiers.
The male protagonist took his younger brother to the Cuihua Building, they tried to enter through the back door, and when the gatekeeper saw the official uniforms of the two people, they didn't even look at their faces, and they were shocked and hurriedly shouted "two officials".
Even the "underworld" who specializes in touching people in porcelain pits has to respectfully shout "Brother Sangen" when he sees Qu Sangen, and he wants to invite people to drink tea.
The male protagonist is still just a small catcher, and the "official prestige" of others can be imagined.
When the people are so jealous of the officers and soldiers, the living conditions must be worrying, and even the beaters have to exchange candles for money.
"Under the Bustling City" is also quite a bit of costume "anti-corruption".
In fact, before clicking on the feature film, I didn't have much expectations, after all, this drama doesn't even have a first-line big coffee or an old drama bone.
But what I didn't expect was that these powerful people really collided with different colors when they got together.
The first one, Bai Yufan.
To be caught in the noon sun, it must be a good strength. "Mountains and Seas" stood out among the middle generation, and "I'm Very Good in Another Country" and "Welcome" also impressed the audience.
And the male protagonist of the small identity in the costume suspense, the audience is most familiar with Zhang Ruoyun, don't say, Bai Yufan's performance is really impressive and does not lose to Zhang Ruoyun.
Young and ignorant boyishness -
Yes.
It was the recklessness of uncontrollable emotions, the desperate stubbornness and sharpness of thoughts.
As a momentum to catch fast -
Yes.
Bai Yufan went to that station, really a bit of a costume version of the police, he was righteous and awe-inspiring, just in response to the fear of the people, and there was some maturity that did not match his age in a trance.
The second place, Ning Li.
Presumably, there is no need to say more about this one, Li Toyota, who "smokes in reverse" with one hand, let Ning Li out of the circle fiercely.
And in "Under the Bustling City", the history of the Song Classic he portrayed cannot be described as simple "good" and "bad".
The edge that could not be hidden, Ning Li raised his eyes and the character characteristics of the characters, all revealed to the audience from these eyes.
It is a pair of eyes that have seen the ugliness of human nature in the world, but cannot be seen through. Obviously, there is nothing special, but it can invisibly make people feel the aura suppression.
Mysterious and ruthless, the character of Song Dianshi seems to wander between good and evil.
Whenever the audience thinks that he will be the next master of the male protagonist, the camera turns the cigarette bag and swaggers out of the fireworks land.
Every time they look at each other, it seems that they are handing knives to each other, and Ning Li's performance is really a bit amazing.
The third place, Zeng Li.
As soon as Zeng Li appeared, this character stood up directly.
Her dignified atmosphere is very different from the place she is in, and she can gain the favor of cold catchers. At the moment of learning that the head catcher had been killed, his eyes turned red and instantly flooded.
It's just a poor woman who is infatuated but also kind.
The fourth place, Cao Zheng.
I really didn't expect that the "Ten Thousand Heirlooms" could travel to ancient times and become a big old man to be so interesting.
With a chin full of beards, Cao Zheng's every move does not have the slightest shadow of his own, sleek and rude, philistine greedy and at the same time a somewhat untimely Geng straightness.
It is very likely that there will be a big reversal behind this character.
In addition, there are also well-known powerful people such as Xiang Hanzhi, Wang Ce, Zhang Xilin, and Liu Yitong.
This time the X Theater is going to be on Oita again!
epilogue
In fact, when watching "Under the City", you can always smell a few traces of "The Long Season".
The actor has a small position, and all of them don't pull their crotches, and I don't know how many faces they hit.
The pace is slow, but every detail is intimate, there are not many characters, each is full and distinct, and there is a lot of foreshadowing in front, but you can faintly feel the climax behind it, and a succession of big moves are about to strike.
I have to say that this year's X Theater debuted, and the works released are indeed trump cards, although "Huan Yan" is not a big hit, but the high score of 7.9 on Douban has equaled the ceiling-level work "Qing Yu Nian".
As for whether "Under the City" can become another fierce general of X Theater and add another king explosion to the costume suspense market, we will wait and see!
