The rave reviews of "River God" finally ushered in the grand finale.
Dean just finished episode 22 (24 episodes) today:
The protagonists are either caught or hypnotized, and the identity of the holy child that everyone cares about most is about to surface.
How to use the last two episodes to round this round, dean's heart is extremely looking forward to.
Since its inception, the rating of "River God" on Douban has soared from the initial 7.7 points to the current 8.4 points.
From the beginning of the scoring of a few people, to the evaluation of more than 30,000 people now.
This play successfully confirms the old saying: it is gold, it always shines.
In the comment area, many netizens have not hesitated to give a very high evaluation -
"River God" has opened a new era of domestic web dramas!
The era when web dramas are better than TV dramas has finally arrived!
Dean believes that such an evaluation is well deserved for "River God".
We are actually tired of the usual routine of TV dramas:
Emotional dramas are awkward as soon as they are sensational, suspense dramas can guess the ending at the beginning, and there is no content to watch under the banner of small fresh meat, which is the current situation of most dramas on the market.
The emergence of "River God" just fills the shortcomings of previous TV series.
Today, the dean will take stock with you about the unforgettable shots in "River God".
1 monologue title
Everyone who sees "River God" for the first time will be attracted by its unique title.
There is no cookie-cutter theme song, replaced by icy tones, rotating and changing shots.
The protagonists appear in turn, labeling themselves short and condensed.
Jianghu, science, fists and feet, truth
Good water, forensic doctor, godmother, journalist
Among the extraordinary people, Long Feng, the Great Young Master, is a big jumping god, Miss Qianjin
Each corresponds to the roles of Guo Deyou, Ding Jiao, Gu Ying and Xiao Lanlan in the play.
This appearance in the avant-garde drama style makes the industrial texture and innovation of the film reach an unprecedented peak.
2 Stunning River Worship Ceremony
I wonder how many people, like the Dean, have been shaken up with goosebumps since the first episode of the Baihe Ceremony.
A drummer dressed in white, wearing a big red mask, and a red drum hammer beats the white drum face.
Dancers dressed in black, wearing ink-colored masks, holding a blessed baby in their arms.
In the middle is a white-robed, white-veiled godmother, and the opening is a very mysterious "mountain roost, trying to rob me of my body.".
The director uses these colorful visual elements to create a huge "sense of ceremony".
Let the audience have a reverence for the things of ghosts and gods from the beginning.
The grandeur of the film, sometimes does not need special effects and fancy scenes to pile up, highlight the characteristics, and turn the seemingly meaningless scenes into a symbolic language, which is the ability of a good drama.
3 minimalist crime-solving shots
The "lighting a cigarette to distinguish injustice" of the two generations of river gods is a very charming folk stunt.
But what is more attractive than it is the director's display of the case solving picture after "lighting a cigarette to identify injustice".
The director puts the river god into a special space – no time, no background, no noisy voices, only the victims and suspects present.
In this quiet space, abstract logical thinking is tangiblely displayed.
And this kind of picture processing that is comparable to the texture of the film, borrowing some Western science fiction films, not only appears bold and avant-garde, but also shows the state of stripping away the cocoon and opening the fog in the presentation of the case.
4 Buddha heads of the Dragon King Temple
Along with the brightly colored Baihe Ceremony and the cold painting style of the crime-solving shots, it is called "the three most beautiful shots of "River God", and there is also this Buddha head of the Dragon King Temple that appears more than once.
Whenever this picture appears, it gives people a feeling of belonging to tranquility.
The huge Buddha head and the dilapidated small temple form a sharp contrast, and the tranquility of the temple and the chaos of the rivers and lakes also form a contrast.
Older generations are silent about secrets, while younger people are anxious to learn the stories their parents' hidden stories.
Maybe this is the case in the jianghu, where those who have experienced it want to withdraw and leave, those who have never experienced it want to blend in, and the Buddha will always watch the changes in this earthly world.
5 The more you look at the more fascinating the shape
To be honest, when I first started watching "River God", the dean was somewhat incapable of accepting the styling of some of the characters in the play.
For example, the small river god with dirty braids, the small godmother with the "chicken nest", and the captain Fu with big waves.
People worry that this pompous shape will not ruin the good atmosphere created by the Baihe Festival.
But as the plot deepens, the shapes of the protagonists seem to be more and more recognizable, because this is not the "fashion" that the stylist came up with with his head, but each one is related to the identity of the characters themselves.
The river god often goes into the water, and after tying dirty braids into the water, it will not be easy to disperse, and after landing on the shore, it will not be directly attached to the scalp because of the water.
The little goddess represents the Tianjin girls of that era, who like to wear silk flowers, and the branches are peach branches, which are used to ward off evil spirits, in line with the identity of the goddess.
As for the hot-headed clans such as Ding Di and Captain Fu, they were the representatives of the men of that era. Tianjin people who have a little money in their pockets will basically choose to buy cigarettes or burn their heads.
These "evidence-based" in the details reflect the intentions of the crew.
6 grounded jianghu terriers
In the play, the director is obviously very deeply excavated into the culture of Tianjin Wei.
For example, in the Dragon King Temple where the river god lives, or in the illusion of lighting a cigarette to distinguish injustices, we often see a clay statue.
Later, in one episode, we heard the river god call him "big brother", and Gu Ying also called the little river god "second brother".
So why do they recognize a clay statue as a big brother?
In fact, this is the custom of old Tianjin, if the family has no children, they will go to the temple to ask for a mud doll to ask for a child, and later give birth to a son is called the second brother, and the mud doll is called the eldest brother.
For example, in a small theater in a certain episode, Ding Di sent snacks to the old river god, and the old river god was not very happy.
He told Ding Di that the ancients had the punishment of "killing", killing is to lose the head, and cutting off the skin and flesh of the prisoners with one knife and one knife, and the last knife is called "dim sum".
Frightened, Ding Di quickly changed his mouth to say that he was "sending cakes", and the old river god gladly accepted it.
These old customs, which are rooted in the depths of culture and passed down by word of mouth, are full of charm, and how many film and television works can be passed on and promoted?
7 unforgettable long shots
People who love to watch movies always have some kind of obsession with long shots.
And the two long shots in "River God" are really addictive.
One is the scene at the beginning of the first episode, where the president of the Caoyun Chamber of Commerce is salvaged ashore. The 70-second-long camera sweeps through various people on the docks, explaining the environment, conflicts, and characters in one go.
The second is the fight scene in Xiaoxiguan Prison in the twenty episodes, which is not only fist-to-flesh and thrilling, but also the performance of each actor is impeccable.
When this shot was over, the dean's heart was slowly put down.
Long shots test the director's skills the most, and they also need the actor's full attention. It can be said that these two iconic long shots hint at the biggest reason for the success of "River God" - everyone is trying their best.
In addition to these unforgettable and wonderful shots, the control of the overall rhythm of "River God" is also the textbook level of the current web drama.
Funny gags, point to the end; when solving the case, peel off the cocoon, but also do not forget to use some small plots to adjust the atmosphere.
No matter what step the plot goes, it makes people feel addicted.
No wonder when someone asks: Everyone suddenly lost interest in the river god in the first few episodes?
The answer below is the same: Episode 24.
Who made this excellent conscience drama shoot a total of 24 episodes.
