"The Hidden Corner", "The Silent Truth", "The Long Season", "The Disappeared Child", the structure of "xx of xx", seems to have become a popular formula for the title of a suspense drama.
The popular "Disappearing Elephant" has attracted a group of viewers with the highlights of suspense comedy, but judging from the broadcast reviews of this show, it is unlikely to win the phenomenal hit, in terms of scale, "The Disappearing Elephant" takes the style of absurd comedy, in addition to making counterfeit money, the reasoning is not strong, and the sense of suspense is not enough.
However, "Invisible Names", which has just announced the full lineup, has let the audience see the potential of popular dramas.
And judging from the lineup configuration, trailer texture, and the original plot, "Invisible Name" is really explosive.
The plot is high-energy, and "Invisible Names" depicts women's struggles
It can be seen from the lineup list of "Invisible Name" that this drama focuses on suspense dramas from a female perspective.
The TV series is based on the serial novel of the same name, The Invisible Name, which tells the story of a name that has been stolen. The female director's nickname (Ni Ni) has always disliked her name, but even if she doesn't like it, she thinks that the name is proof of her existence.
In order to find traces of his existence, in order to find the past of many women with tragic fates who have been annihilated and submerged, Ren Xiaoming vows to snatch back the stolen names.
And in the trailer, every female face that appears in "Invisible Names" is full of storytelling. Their faces are resolute, their eyes are vicissitudes, and through one face after another, the audience truly feels the story that this show wants to span two generations, telling the power of women's struggle and redemption.
It is worth mentioning that "Invisible Name" also has a well-known director Yang Yang, who is best at shaping female themes, from "Menghualu" to "Imperfect Victim", Yang Yang's works have won awards, popularity and ratings.
The important thing is that Director Yang Yang's aesthetics are always delicate and advanced, and every actress in "Invisible Name" has been filmed with her own screen temperament.
Directors who can really shoot female themes well will not give women a stiff label, there are no women imagined from the perspective of male gaze in "Invisible Name", their sexiness does not depend on makeup and figure, but on a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that can see the core of women.
Of course, since it is a female suspense drama, it is inseparable from excellent actresses, and the reason why the audience is interested in "Invisible Name" is precisely because the casting of this drama is all on the audience's aesthetic point.
All the beauties are beautiful, but it's not just the beauties that attract attention
"Invisible Name" has a total of five female characters who carry the main line of highlights, they are two generations, and naturally have completely different screen images, and the casting of this drama is all big beauties.
The first is the starring role, Ni Ni who carries the flag.
The temperamental Ni Ni is a proper movie face, from "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" to "She Who Disappeared", Ni Ni's beauty often amazes the audience on the big screen. And in "Invisible Names", she is also very beautiful.
In the picture, Ni Ni has fried hair and curly hair, she is wearing a coat and strong makeup, revealing a lonely and cold feeling in the snowy winter, and through Ni Ni's eyes, broken, struggling, all kinds of emotions are mixed, looking at the tears in the corners of her eyes, there is a kind of breathless pressure across the screen.
followed by the second female Yan Ni, a "Grandma's New World" made Yan Ni open up her influence in the short drama market, and this time starring in "Invisible Name" will naturally attract many drama fans into the pit.
is different from Ni Ni's beauty, Yan Ni at this stage still does not have the advantage of being young and beautiful, but she is really too relaxed in the camera, she smiles happily when she is without makeup, and her pale complexion does not reduce the emotional appeal in the camera.
When wearing heavy makeup, Yan Ni looks like a beauty from the old era, wearing a retro style, but only melancholy and loss are left on her face. Women's emotions have the most broken empathy, and actor Yan Ni knows how to speak with her eyes and seduce people with emotions.
The female No. 3 Liu Yase is also an actor familiar to the audience. Now she is grasping both TV series and movies, and she has had wonderful performances in the movies "Predecessor Raiders 4" and "I Am a Mountain".
There are almost no restrictions on the subject matter she is good at, and the roles she plays can sometimes even give the audience the illusion of "changing faces".
In terms of acting, Liu Yase is absolutely reliable, and in the trailer of "Invisible Name", Liu Yase also showed his acting strength.
In the play, she is full of maturity, Ni Ni's image is actually still emotional, but the character played by Liu Yase has a cold sense of excess rationality from head to toe.
And it is precisely because of this that the contrast between image and emotion makes the audience curious about the characters.
The fourth actor with both appearance and acting skills is Liu Mintao, everyone who has watched "The Pretender" knows that Mr. Liu Mintao's acting skills are mainly elegant and dignified, her performance is not expressive, and she is most suitable for some "upright" roles, once Liu Mintao sinks, it will not have such a good effect.
Judging from Liu Mintao's costume styling in the trailer, the female No. 4 she played this time is a secret and ungrounded character. She has exquisite makeup and a hairstyle that is not messy, like an elegant middle-aged woman, and even occasionally shows some emotional indifference.
But in the plot setting, she is a mother, she has to have emotional pulling, when Liu Mintao cried in the trailer, there was really a feeling that the wall that exquisite egoism had built with great difficulty collapsed in an instant.
In the end, Dong Jie's appearance also successfully caught the audience's attention. In recent years, Dong Jie has almost become a golden supporting role in popular dramas, her performance texture is full of details, her appearance is mature and she has a resolute sense of story, which is most suitable for shining in female themes.
And Dong Jie in the trailer is indeed eye-catching, her eyes are sharp, and she can't hide her stubbornness, and she plays the complex entanglement of love and hate in place with one look.
In the case of an unknown plot, Dong Jie in the trailer even performed a sense of awakening in another clip, she seemed to be hiding a secret, just waiting for the audience to approach, this kind of performance with a mysterious color can best add charm to the character.
Regardless of the plot, the highlights of "Invisible Name" in terms of casting have successfully set off the audience's expectations for the female group portraits of this show.
Of course, at present, the main plot of "Invisible Name" is not very clear, and the texture of the trailer mostly comes from the acting skills of the actors, but if a suspense drama wants to retain the audience, it can't just look at the beauty or the shaping of the actors, the plot is the key.
But since "Invisible Name" can find Ni Ni carrying the flag, Yan Ni going out of the mountain, and Dong Jie taking the charge, I believe that this drama definitely has the potential to explode.
