Last year, iQiyi launched the Mist Theater series, which produced a number of explosive suspense dramas such as "The Silent Truth" and "The Hidden Corner", which had both ratings and word of mouth. Can't help but let the audience praise it as the light of domestic suspense dramas, but also full of expectations for this series.
After hanging the audience's appetite for half a year, this year's Mist Theater has finally started. The first work broadcast was "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" starring Duan Yihong, Zu Feng, Hao Lei and other powerful factions.
However, the "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog", which bears the gimmick of the "Misty Theater Series" and starred in the strength faction, has not made a start for this year's Mist Theater, and the word-of-mouth rating is not very good. After watching the whole show, the story is still quite interesting, but at the beginning of the broadcast, the rating was only a barely passing 6 points. The reason why the audience gave the most low ratings was that the front of the play could create a suspense effect to counterproductive, and it was a bit of a feeling of being sad to give new words.
After watching the whole drama, I feel that the previous plots that create suspense are a bit too deliberate.
For example, after Zhu Shenghui's death, Zhu Shenghui's parents were emotionally agitated, which also led to a contradiction between Xuan Liang and Zhu Shenghui's father many years ago. Moreover, after the police gave conclusive evidence that Xuan Liang was not at the scene at the time of the crime, Zhu Shenghui's parents still did not forgive, which was a bit deliberately intensifying the contradiction. But after that, Zhu Shenghui's parents received a box lunch, a little bit of thunder and rain. This paragraph, which has no effect on advancing the main plot, is a bit of a feeling of pouring water into the work.
There is also the fierce emotions of Muge's mother after Muge's disappearance. When the daughter first disappeared, she was still very emotional, and even created a scandal to stimulate Xuan Liang, but then Muge's mother quickly calmed down, and seemed to worry that her daughter only had a moment. Including the police in the search for Muge, it seems that they are not particularly concerned.
There is also Xuan Nianmei, a little girl who has been looking for death and life at a young age. At the beginning of the plot, the character is portrayed as a negative, depressed, and even a little world-weary character. Nor did she explain what kind of things Qing Xuannian mei had experienced, so that she had this kind of non-negative emotion. Even after watching the whole play, I can't understand why this little girl has such a thought, probably deliberately to create a depressing atmosphere.
After watching the whole drama, it is actually a bit of a trance, and the doubts of most of the opening part of the game are also forced. If you remove the parts that can create suspense, the cracking of the case is not so complicated.
Whether it was Xuan Zhen nineteen years ago or Xuan Nian Mei now, their social relationship was not complicated. The intersection of the trajectories of the two people's lives, in addition to the family, is the Kun Opera Troupe. If there were no mysteries of those old cloths, from the beginning of the investigation according to social relations, coupled with the insight of the little policeman Liu Xinli, it may not take too long, and the whole case will be the truth. In this way, it can also be understood that the previous suspicious arrays are to lengthen the suspense atmosphere and make the matter of cracking the unsolved case look not so simple.
Finally, with a little personal opinion, I feel that my aesthetic and that of the director are somewhat different. Because whether it is Xuanzhen and Xuanzhu when they were young, or Xuannianmei and Muge, they don't understand why Xuanzhen and Xuannianmei will be girls that everyone likes, and they feel that Xuanzhen and Muge are more beautiful and temperamental than Xuanzhen and Xuannianmei
