"Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" has been broadcast for 8 episodes!
But the audience who has been chasing the drama will find that the more you watch this drama, the more delicious it is!
As the pioneering work of iQIYI Mist Theater this year, "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" is truly deserved, and the plot is indeed foggy!
There is a lot of discussion about who killed Xuan Zhen and Zhu Shenghui, whether the murderer is Ding Huanlie, played by Xing Minshan, or Zhou Yamei, played by Wu Yue?
It seems to be and it seems not to be.
Almost every episode of the plot has a lot of subtext and details hidden, and the audience who watch it will taste more and more interesting!
Why is Xuan Liang, played by Zu Feng, almost perverted to protect Xuan Nianmei, just because of his daughter? Or is there something else hidden?
Will Xuan Nianmei be Xuan Zhen's daughter?
Not only did Xuan Nianmei look exactly like Xuan Zhen, but her birthday was the day before Xuan Zhen was killed!
Why did Zhou Yamei, played by Wu Yue, suddenly lose control of her emotions and go to Xuan Zhen's tomb?
Why did Zhou Yemei cry angrily to Ding Julie: Do you want me to say how much I fail to be a woman, or how sad it is to be your wife!
Who killed Zhu Shenghui?
The contradiction between Xuanzhu and Xuanzhen and what is the grudge between Ji Guang?
Who is the figure behind Bai Yufan?
Very brain-burning, and very flavorful!
At present, the online audience has a variety of speculations, and it is estimated that everyone speculates on the plot no less than hundreds of versions!
A suspenseful short drama can be rich in connotation, so that readers can develop such a rich interpretation, which is a success in itself!
"Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" was played to episode 8, and the plot gradually became clear: Zhou Yamei, Ding Huanlie, and Xuanzhu became key characters!
Of course, there is also the return of the missing Mu Ge later, which also adds a lot of points of view, and the Wenjing couple who funded the Kun Opera Troupe are also full of doubts!
An episode of 52 minutes, the audience does not feel slow or lengthy!
At present, the Douban score of the drama is only 6 points, barely passing, it should be said that it is not the real level of this drama!
After watching 8 episodes, I completely understand the director's painstaking heart!
First, strong plot and fast pace measure the quality of a drama, which is not objective. "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" boldly changes and tastes new.
In today's film and television dramas, many choreographers and directors in order to attract the audience, are doing enough in terms of strong plot and fast pace, for a long time, but also let the audience's viewing experience form a fixed thinking, the plot and rhythm as the main indicators to measure a drama, obviously too single!
The movies "Chosin Lake", "On the Cliff", "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", "Fury Case", are all of the above types, of course, to achieve box office and word of mouth, undeniable.
But film and television dramas can not only be this way of expression, such as Gong Li, Zhao Youting's "Lyceum Theatre", Zhang Zifeng's "My Sister" and Yan Bingyan's "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", these slow storytelling films are also needed.
Many people's perception of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" is that the plot is crotch, the pace is too slow, and the story is old.
The author believes that Wang Xiaoshuai, as the director of literary and art films, came to direct suspense dramas with Hua Zhen this time, and he still hopes to inject some literary and artistic factors into suspense dramas that rely on brain-burning and sensory stimulation, or inject some things into the rich diversity of human nature.
In fact, the advantage of slow-paced dramas is that there are more things to taste, and audience participation will increase!
"Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" injects elements of family ethics into the suspense elements, which is exactly a kind of enrichment!
When we see the back, we understand that this may be That Wang Xiaoshuai deliberately made the plot pace slower and left the aftertaste to the audience!
Second, Duan Yihong, Wu Yue, Hao Lei, Zu Feng, Tao Hong, Wen Zhengrong, Xing Minshan, these powerful actors can gather in this play, indirectly reflecting the goodness of this play.
Although it is not excluded that the above actors are coming for the IP of "Mist Theater", it should be the quality of the script and the director team that attract powerful actors to join.
Duan Yihong, has become a drama bone actor, he played Tan Ziwei in "Chosin Lake", a laugh and a play, but also participated in Chen Zhengdao's movie "Secret Visitor", his "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" not to mention!
Zu Feng played Huang Yao's father, Teacher Bai, played by Mai Miao in "Mountains and Seas", which is very impressive, and he and Hao Lei also participated in Zhang Zifeng and Wu Lei's "Midsummer Future" this year.
Wu Yue's performance in this year's "Little Shed" and "Sweeping Black Storm" is obvious to everyone.
Hao Lei needless to say, proper strength faction.
These actors should be attracted to the script of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog".
As representatives of the sixth generation of directors, Wang Xiaoshuai and Jia Zhangke pay attention to the simple performance and inner artistic connotation of film and television dramas.
"Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" is very Wang Xiaoshuai's artistic style, introverted and rich.
This drama has given shaoxing many shots of old streets and alleys, rainy days, river water, the lens tone is elegant, the texture is full, plus the role interpretation of the powerful actors, the charm is very full, the audience's thoughts are wrapped in the suspense plot and the actor's performance, which is very enjoyable.
The author believes that "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" is a bold attempt at suspense dramas, injecting the usual family and ethical factors into the slowed rhythm, no longer using stimulating pictures and plots to impact the audience, but deliberately leaving room for the audience to participate in plot reasoning and experience the fun of exploration!
It is recommended that those who have watched one or two episodes have a low score on Douban recommend chasing 8 more episodes, which may feel that the rating of this drama is very unfair.
The author is humble, welcome criticism and correction.
Are you chasing this show? Is the murderer really Ding Julie, as everyone guessed?
