On the afternoon of October 9, the TV series "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" was officially announced, and from October 13, iQIYI TV Drama Channel officially opened the premiere mode. This TV series adheres to the characteristics of iQiyi Mist Theater, still only has a plot of 12 episodes, but the plot content has the element of touching reality. The drama is written and directed by Wang Xiaoshuai, and starring Hao Lei, Duan Yihong and many other powerful actors. Obviously, the show is very much worth looking forward to.
What kind of story does "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" tell? As of now, the TV series has only a plot synopsis and a final trailer. You may wish to take a look at the plot synopsis first:
An unsolved "Octagonal Pavilion Unsolved Case" for nineteen years has shrouded the Xuan family under a haze, and the suspicion and alienation between relatives cannot be calmed like the water town. When the murder case reappears, the dusty memories and pain once again plunge the Xuan family into the abyss of love and hate...
Combined with the content of the final trailer, in "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog", a story of a serial case is told. Nineteen years ago, the mysterious death of a flower girl was not solved. Nineteen years later, another case happened again. With the arrival of new cases, former cases have also surfaced. Based only on the trailer and synopsis, the TV series tells a crime story and eventually has to solve two cases.
However, the TV drama works of the Mist Theater seem to be unable to be viewed as simple crime dramas. In addition to the suspense, reasoning, etc. of previous crime dramas, it may pay more attention to the profound content of human nature. At present, in addition to the TV series version of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog", there is also a movie version, which has been sent for review and approval. In the synopsis of the film version, it is written:
In order not to let the "deformed" family relationship affect the next generation, in order to let the elderly "death day", which is a very symbolic day in traditional Chinese culture, everyone heals the wounds in their hearts and faces the future life.
It is worth noting that one of the screenwriters of the film version and the TV series version is Yang Yishu. In the TV series version, Wang Xiaoshuai also participated in the screenwriting work. Combined with the synopsis of the two works, I personally prefer to believe that the TV series "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" focuses on what kind of mental burden will be brought to a victim's family under the premise that a criminal case cannot be solved. In the TV drama version, the deep part of human nature should be aimed at this kind of mental burden problem.
In the previous works of director Wang Xiaoshuai, he also pursued the profundity of this human nature. And the final trailer of the show is full of gloomy visual sense. This state of strong literary and artistic atmosphere happens to be the type of style that director Wang Xiaoshuai is good at. The key point of success or failure of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" is not only in the process of suspenseful reasoning, but also in the profound human nature, in which way it will be presented, and whether this presentation method itself can be understood and recognized by the vast majority of the audience. Director Wang Xiaoshuai's previous works are easy to develop towards a more profound theme, which undoubtedly creates aesthetic obstacles for ordinary audiences.
The starring lineup of the TV series "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" is very good. Duan Yihong plays the male lead, Hao Lei plays the female lead, Zu Feng plays the supporting actor, and Wu Yue plays the supporting actress. Mira, Wen Zhengrong and many other actors have played cameo roles. The introduction of the four protagonists does not have to be carried out anymore. Netizens who are familiar with the content of film and television dramas are very familiar with Duan Yihong, Hao Lei, Zu Feng and Wu Yue. They also have relatively good film and television drama representative works. Obviously, in the play, there will be mutual support in acting and acting.
Based on the current material content, the TV series "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" can not see any shortcomings. At the level of acting, several leading actors are really powerful, and there will obviously be a lot of amazing bridges. The directing of director Wang Xiaoshuai makes this TV series full of rich literary and artistic film atmosphere. The story of the play, which is based on the plot synopsis, will also focus on the presentation of the profound level of human nature. Of course, what kind of profound human nature the show will present can only be known after the show starts.
In addition, the three major video platforms have cancelled advanced on-demand. This means that this "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" will not have a paid direct finale. As a suspenseful crime drama, there will obviously be a lot of suspense plots that hook the audience. If you don't have to pay for the finale, netizens can obviously chase the drama synchronously. For fans of the show, it seems to have saved another amount of money. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
