In the past two years, China's film and television industry has changed a lot, and many very surprising works have been launched.
Especially in suspense dramas and criminal investigation dramas, they caused a very big sensation as soon as they were released and attracted the attention of many people.
Places like "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth" are very popular.
But judging from the current status quo of the film and television industry.
Most of the criminal investigation and suspense-themed TVs are modern films, and few directors dabble in costume dramas.
The reason why everyone doesn't dare is very clear, because the cost of costume suspense dramas is very high.
Before filming, the director will see if he has so much money to make such a TV series.
Especially after "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", many directors dare not shoot.
Secondly, the reasoning process of costume suspense dramas is more rigorous than that of contemporary dramas.
If modern criminal investigation dramas really can't think of the reasoning process, they will rely on Tianyan and monitoring to solve the case.
But costume dramas are different, and the director really needs to think about breaking his head.
It is based on the above two reasons that there are very few suspenseful costume dramas, but this does not affect the fact that there will still be directors who dare to shoot.
Recently, a costume suspense drama called "Persona of the Apocalypse" was launched, which caused a very big sensation.
The whole show directly occupied the first place on the TV list on the first day of broadcasting.
Plot surprises
To be able to rush to the top position on the list, this drama must have its special features.
From word-of-mouth and Douban scores, this drama has been well received.
What kind of drama makes everyone like it so much, what I have to talk about is the plot of this drama.
It can be said that the director's imagination is very rich, adding a lot of freshness to the costume drama.
First of all, this drama integrates monster elements into the costume plot, which is still very rare in costume dramas.
This obviously aroused everyone's curiosity.
The sudden appearance of something like a monster in a costume drama really makes people feel more and more curious the more they think about it.
It's like a dish I've never eaten before, and I really want to taste what it tastes like.
Secondly, the more powerful thing about this drama is not that it adds new elements to attract everyone's attention.
It's about how seamlessly he combines history and mystery.
The two major historical backgrounds of the Apocalypse Big Bang were given as soon as the TV series came up.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a long-term drought, and May was like winter, and there were fireballs in the Fire Temple.
There is also the fall of meteorites, a historical mystery that has remained unsolved.
Immediately after Ningyuan's victory, after the meteorite fell from the sky, rumors of the epidemic in Ningyuan City spread.
There are even strange beasts, and there is a chaotic battle between the government and the opposition.
At this time, Ningyuan Fort was being built, and those civil servants wrote one after another.
But he didn't expect to offend Tianwei, and it was at this chaotic moment that Huang Xuan was ordered to come to this place to investigate the case.
These historical events were thrown out at the beginning, leaving a lot of suspense for the whole drama.
At the same time, these historical events also add a lot of color to the plot.
It feels like a detective plot in history class.
I have to say that every link really arouses everyone's curiosity, and people have to feel good about this drama.
The plot has twists and turns, and there is a dizzying feeling.
After escaping from the secret room of the isolated island, he then encountered a mutant monster with a cold weapon and a tough weapon.
Then he became the guide of a foreign ship, and played every move very big.
Every plot twist is very scary, and it's too ruthless.
It's really like eating spicy tang in the store, obviously very spicy and very hot.
But I still can't help but want to take another bite, even if I am so spicy that I can't help but take another bite with tears in my eyes.
Such a plot is really a big test of the audience's IQ, and every detail must not be missed.
If you miss it, it seems that you will lose a detail.
The plot can be said to be very compact and interlocking.
From the beginning of the two surprises thrown, there have been new clues one after another.
Huang Xuan didn't know if he went to investigate the case, but after checking it, he found a few special places.
Chu Sijing, who was looking for his younger brother under the pretext of investigating the case, fell into the powder keg of Ningyuanbao, where the government and the opposition were in dispute.
He found that the strange illness was real, and the symptoms of the deceased were very strange.
When the local sergeants died, they were buried and burned on the spot.
But I didn't think that the venom came out of the deceased, which made the deceased's death very suspicious.
On the other hand, when he competed with the forces representing the eunuchs.
It is also a few words to see that the other party is thoughtful.
There is not the slightest flaw, and it seems that there is another mystery in the matter.
Regarding the death of the sergeant, the military only said typhoid fever, and did not say that it was because of the epidemic.
And Huang Xuan, who went to investigate the case, found something strange from the sergeant's food.
He thought carefully according to this clue, and the first meal he ate in Ningyuan was wolf meat.
Obviously, the local area is close to the sea and should make a living from fishing, why can't you see a single fish in the granary?
When talking to the sergeants about eating fish, everyone said that there was a ban on the sea.
Why the sea was forbidden and who gave the order left a very big suspense.
If you want to find out the truth of the matter, you have to say that it is an isolated island in Shanghai.
A place called Wudui Island was immediately discovered by Huang Xuan.
Once on the island, he found that he had been secretly helped, but he didn't know who.
Officials on the island pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and the islanders are also hiding it.
If you catch a fish by the sea, you will be whipped.
Even if someone in his own family is infected, he hides his relatives in a cave for fear of being discovered.
And there are monsters hidden on the island.,The next thing is the excitement of the battle between the male protagonist and the monster.。
It's hard to have a plot that makes people not want to see it.
The actors are brilliant
In addition to the wonderful plot, one of the highlights of this drama is the role of the male protagonist.
The male protagonist Huang Xuan, everyone should still recognize his acting skills.
After all, after being in the circle for so many years, he has some strength.
The male protagonist Chu Sijing he played looks deep and very witty at the same time.
It's like a character jumping out of a book, and the state of a historical figure is vividly interpreted.
In the context of troubled times, he not only has to fight wits and courage with eunuchs and magnates.
also needs to face his inner struggles and entanglements, and the complex psychological process is interpreted by Huang Xuan very well.
It's like a well-cooked dish.
Every expression, every look, every movement, and every transformation of the role seems to have been carefully interpreted.
The more you watch it, the more flavorful it becomes, which not only makes the audience feel the excitement of costume suspense dramas, but also makes people unconsciously feel a sense of substitution.
Falling into the discussion of human nature is really a clear analysis of human nature.
In addition to the male protagonist Huang Xuan, there are several other male actors, whose performances are also very exciting.
For example, Wu Yue, he has always been a martial arts star in everyone's minds.
He really doesn't just gesture in front of the camera, but has real kung fu.
After all, he is a martial arts athlete, and every move and style is very powerful.
And in order to play this role well, he added a lot of body movements to match the interpretation of the role.
For example, when you walk with a limp, you have dried fruits in your bag, and you throw one into your mouth from time to time.
Just eat the fruit and do the work, it can be said that Wu Yue does have some acting skills.
It's just that there are not many shots of Wu Dalang given to him in this drama.
So in terms of the interpretation of the role, he is indeed not as brilliant as Huang Xuan.
But judging from the martial arts footage he has, every move he makes is very clean and neat.
Every fight is very exciting, and it is very enjoyable to watch.
epilogue
Overall, the drama "Persona of the Apocalypse" is really a very good suspense costume drama.
It's a masterpiece of multiple elements, with a deep historical background and a gripping mystery.
It's really hard enough to watch it.
No wonder there are so many praises on Douban.
is indeed a major innovation in suspense dramas.
It satisfies everyone's desire for suspense dramas and provides a new visual experience.
It turns out that costume dramas can also be performed like this, and I believe that this drama will receive a very good rating.
I also hope that there will be more excellent works like this.
