At the beginning of June, the peach family and the pants family are full of gunpowder.
One company gathered 25 powerful actors to create the "Mist Theater", and the other launched the "Suspense Theater" including 12 plays.
The two 12-episode short dramas account for the majority, depending on who can beat whom.
The front foot of the "Ten Day Game" that took the lead here just went up, and the back foot over there sent out a drama front hard, it is:
Missing Persons
The drama is co-directed by Wang Ruixin and Shi Chengye, written by Wang Ruixin, and starring Lü Yulai, Liu Chang, Chen Xiaohun, Chen Haoyu, Zhao Yang, Zhang Zhilu, Wang Zichen and so on.
Compared with the scripts of Zang Xichuan, Zhu Yawen, Jin Chen and Keigo Higashino in "Ten Day Game", the main creators of this drama can be said to be "small transparent" in comparison.
Director and screenwriter Wang Ruixin, this drama is his debut.
Another director, Shi Chengye, is a photographer in the noonday sun, and although he has previously served as a photographer for dramas such as "Langya List" and "All Is Good", he is also the first time to be a director.
Actor Lu Yulai has won some acting awards in the literary film "Peacock" and "Silent Wind Chimes", and Liu Chang, who is a model, has starred in the movie "Spending a Long Time with Anthony".
Compared with the work, actress Chen Xiaohong has made many people pay attention to her love affair with Yu Xiaotong.
Chen Haoyu participated in "Ruyi Chuan", many people know her in the web drama "Hot Blood College", and recently she starred in "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You" is also in the hit.
Other actors do not say more, from the perspective of the popularity of the creator, this drama seems to be lagging behind.
But don't worry, let's see how the content behaves.
The story begins with a bus from Chongqing to Kunming falling off a cliff, leaving only six survivors stranded in a mysterious river valley.
The six people are zou zhiming, a male policeman, Lu Min, a female doctor, Li Qiao, a female singer, Ma Hongxin, a male journalist, Tao Ziyou, a male thief, and Liu Changqing, a slightly mysterious man.
The reason why Liu Changqing is mysterious is because he knows everyone's names and often asks with a twitching face:
"Have you ever been in a car accident before?"
The person asked happened to have been in a car accident, as if he had some ability to understand the past.
When several people were preparing to pick up branches and build a fire pond to release the signal, they suddenly encountered a flash flood, and 5 people had to stay on the roof of the bus.
However, Liu Changqing was dragged into the water by an underwater foreign body in the process, and his life and death were unknown.
After the tide receded the next day, the interior of the bus was completely renovated, and the bodies were all gone.
Since then, a reply phone call from the rescue team has been even more bizarre.
"We have found the wrecked vehicle and confirmed the death toll, where are the 6 of you now?"
However, these 6 people just stood on the bus, but they did not see the shadow of half of the search and rescue team, and the two sides seemed to be in different time and space.
These 6 people also responded to the title of the play - Missing Persons.
While the line of disappearance unfolds, the play will trace the past of 6 people, and it turns out that there are inextricable links behind these people.
From the flood countercurrent, underwater foreign objects, similar parallel time and space settings, we can see that it is a suspenseful science fiction drama.
This is also the biggest advantage of this drama - the setting is brain-burning, and the plot is gripping.
In addition to the above doubts, there are 3 key clues in the play many times.
First, about the report of the "Dark Matter Particle Detection Satellite", the missing 6 people all saw the news.
The second, the song "Red River Valley", all 6 people are related to this song.
The third, the mysterious experiment of the 826 bureau, should be the core clue to explain the paranormal phenomenon.
Judging from the plot, "Missing Persons" seems to be very good, is this game going to win?
Unfortunately, this round was not necessarily won.
Many viewers can certainly find that this drama is highly similar to the high-profile American drama "Lost" in terms of plot and setting.
In addition to changing the plane to a bus, the island into a valley, and the 46 survivors becoming 6, the settings of "Missing Persons" are the same as the setting of time confusion and the black history flashback of the characters.
In terms of plot, the development of saving the driver, not saving people in the rapids, and finding bones is also very similar.
At present, this drama has aired 5 episodes, combined with the trailer later, if you look at the plot development of "Lost", several doubts in the play can also be guessed.
The mysterious experiment of the 826 Bureau is likely to be an experiment such as time travel, and the space-time confusion in the play should be caused by dark matter.
And Lu Min is likely to be rejuvenated because of the time device of the 826 bureau, and the next few people inexplicably nosebleeds may be infected with the virus...
In short, "Missing Persons" can be said to be a low-grade version of "Lost".
The reason why it is low-matched is because there are three defects in the play that cannot be ignored.
First, the actor's acting skills are in a hurry, and the sense of substitution is not enough.
At the beginning of the car falling off a cliff, 6 people faced this situation, all unusually calm, calm and surprisingly calm.
When the heroine just woke up and was told by the doctor that there was a car accident, her face was peaceful, and the doctor said while examining:
"I've seen your singing show on TV, and I love listening to those old songs you cover during the competition..."
As a doctor who is still awake in this car accident, shouldn't the priority be to race against the clock to search for survivors? I also snorted, and a different environment can be regarded as a daily physical examination in the hospital.
When everyone saw the corpses on the ground, they were all stable, and when the wounded needed a belt to stop the bleeding while the blood spurted, the doctor also asked the heroine to find the belt.
In the process of finding a belt, the heroine also greeted the reporter and said that she borrowed the belt of his "friend", while also asking someone to help smoke together.
Boss, people are dying over there, are you still polite at this time?
Here we may wish to take a look at the male protagonist in "Lost", after the plane crash rushed to save the wounded, with a tie nearby, while saving but also to take care of the external situation, people are very nervous.
Some passengers next to them cried out at a loss, completely restoring the emergency state at the time of the accident.
If there is no comparison, there is no harm!
Second, the editing is mysterious, and the repetition rate of the clip is extremely high.
After the bus fell off a cliff, the rescue progressed to the halfway point, and the reporter's memories were inserted to kill, and then returned to the scene of the car accident.
Then, according to this rhythm, on one side is the scene of the car accident, and on the other side are the memories of 6 people who kill each other.
In the memory killing, the timeline is disrupted again, one moment from 2015 to 2012, and the other from 2013 to 2014, with flashbacks in the interlude.
In fact, it is indeed a very normal way to create a sense of suspense through the editing line, but there is a deliberate sense of chaos in the play for the sake of disruption.
Take the two lines of singers and thieves, first the thief in Beijing entered the anchor's home to steal something and was found, trying to create a car accident to kill people.
Inadvertently colliding with the singer's car, the singer staged a car accident shocked and tearful.
The location is in Kunming again, the thief calls to prepare to slip away, and this side comes to the singer's perspective, flirting with the boss to break up.
After talking about the entanglement with the ex-boyfriend, the two people shared a car, collided with the thief's car, and staged the car accident again with shock and tears.
You know, before the two lines converge, the singer's car accident scene has been repeated more than 3 times.
In addition, scenes such as dark matter news and drug lord surveillance are also repeated, and the scenes between the lines are mainly not complementary, but many are repeated.
Although the perspective of different scenes is slightly different, but overall the scene repetition is too much, and the toothpaste-like clues have worn out the patience of the audience.
Third, the details are not good, and the plot has bugs.
To see whether the production of a play is good or not, the details are very important factors, and many settings in the play are very casual.
Take the plot of Liu Changqing being swept into the water during the flood, on the one hand, Liu Changqing said that something in the water was dragged, and on the other side, 4 people watched him die.
You guys at least find a way to save it, right?
Here Liu Changqing is not dead, and the other 3 people told the singer to swim back quickly, be careful that there is danger.
Saying that there is a foreign body in the water, you will come to die immediately?
Also, 6 people fell into the valley with their clothes intact, trapped in the valley for a night, not hungry or thirsty, as if they were all gods and immortals.
In addition, there are things like putting a fire pit on the water's edge, thieves stealing things without gloves, the news showing August but the audience is wearing sweaters, the dead people are intact one by one, that is, sprinkling some ketchup...
In order to advance the plot, whether the singer sits on the bus or the rescue team does not have GPS, the plot is very forced.
In general, the setting of this drama is quite novel, the plot has some gripping points, and some character histories have been localized and adapted, and it is still okay to pass the time as a small-cost web drama.
