In recent years, costume dramas have expanded in an all-round way, and a large number of works have been produced every year, but there are very few hits.
Take 2020's "Qingping Le" as an example, the original novel has a Douban score of 8.6, produced by Noon Sunshine, and a number of powerful factions such as Wu Yue and Liu Jun joined, and finally ended in a sloppy end, with a Douban score of only 6.4.
With the popularity of the "costume drama +" form, there are more and more elements that can be included in costume dramas, costume suspense, costume detectives, and costume martial arts, one after another.
This year alone, there are a lot of costume suspense dramas, such as "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", "Shaoqing Tour of Dali Temple", "Flower Order", etc., each of which can mobilize the audience's nerves in terms of subject matter, but there is no one that really makes the audience chase to the end.
But don't worry, the savior of the costume suspense theme is here!
Zhang Songwen starred in the first trailer of "The Code of the Riverside Map at Qingming Festival" today, and I believe it will not be long before it will meet the audience.
The lineup is strong, and the trailer is full of texture, I can't wait, let's take a look with you now, what are the secrets in this Qingming Shanghe picture.
A small official, involved in a big case
"The Code of the Riverside Map at Qingming Festival" is adapted from Ye Wenbiao's novel of the same name, the story takes place in the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, in a corner of Qi'er Lane in Bianliang City, Zhao Buyou (played by Zhang Songwen) A family of five lives a plain and happy life.
Unexpectedly, the sudden change in the situation and an accident involved this family of five in the Meichuan case that caused a sensation in Bianliang City, in order to protect the family, the five members of the Zhao family went into battle to solve one mystery after another.
On the whole, the story content of the show is less children's love and more family friendship, and I was thinking at first that it is a costume suspense drama, and there will be no strange emotional lines.
But after watching the trailer, I went straight into the pit!
The trailer opens with "Qingming Riverside Picture" on the paper, with sharp brushstrokes and vivid depictions of people's lives.
Immediately afterwards, there is the brightly colored, magnificent scenery by the bridge, which is really a very rich and strong picture of the times, the bridge is the crowd of people holding umbrellas, and the lake is the elegant guests who are playing with umbrellas.
On both sides of the strait are ordinary people hawking, so it is not lively.
But then, as soon as the picture turned, Zhao Buyou's face looked a little frightened under the red light.
With the passage of the picture, the lights are on, and the lights in Bianliang City are bright, and it is a prosperous scene.
Zhao Buyou and his wife Wen Yue (played by Bai Baihe) watched juggling on the street, with smiles on their faces. A picture of the life of a little person slowly appears in front of the audience.
However, such a prosperous scene lasted not long, Zhao Buyou stood on the stage with a serious face in an official uniform, looking into the distance, not knowing what kind of big case had happened.
The lights in the city were bright, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the moon hung high in the sky, watching the laughter and laughter, and a beam of silver light fell.
The two sides confronted each other, and the two principals sat opposite each other, and the officials below were silent, and the atmosphere was a little tense.
Under the dim red light, I don't know who was rolled into the shape of a "mummy", the white veil oozing blood, and the picture was terrifying.
On the Bianliang River, a strange boat is driving in the water, with a cloth strip of "walking for the sky" hanging on it, who is on this boat, and what kind of heavenly road is walking?
Looking at the lives of the people depicted on the notice boards, whether they can expose the hypocrisy and evil deeds of the masterminds behind the scenes, and defend the solemn law.
The trailer of less than two minutes brings such a huge visual feast to the audience, whether it is the picture texture or the suspense hook, "The Code of the Riverside Picture at Qingming Festival" shows extraordinary quality.
In addition to the wonderful story, the casting of the show also relieved the audience.

second place, Bai Baihe.
The strength of the actress Bai Baihe is strong, and she plays the heroine of the drama "The Code of the Riverside Picture at Qingming Festival", so she doesn't have to worry about her acting skills at all.
In the trailer, Wen Yue, played by Bai Baihe, walked in Bianliang City with a bright smile, looking like he was about to meet people from a distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a delicate and gentle face, which was really beautiful.
In addition, Bai Baihe's voice has a strong sense of story, and with her and Zhang Songwen partnering, the expectations are full.
