Little Rose, who is in high school,
Don't look at her perennial school uniform, glasses cover her face, almost rarely smile,
But it is a veritable school flower level.
The rich second generation of little hooligans harass her all day long, the girlfriend who is not uglier than her is very jealous of her, and the male teacher who is loved by the girls of the whole school will follow her.
Even a male classmate playing basketball cares whether she is watching or not...
What do you think this is a dog blood Mary Sue drama?
NoNoNo, this is the first bullet of this year's "Misty Theater" -
"Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog"
That's right, it is the drama that the thief expected before the shadow sister.
It may also be a drama that many people are waiting for.
What do you mean?
Last year's "Mist Theater", with a "Hidden Corner" and a "Silent Truth", can be described as out of the limelight.
This year's "Mist Theater" took the lead in the play, which naturally made the audience full of expectations.
In addition to the golden sign of "Mist Theater", the golden lineup of this drama cannot be ignored.
Director Wang Xiaoshuai, the representative of the sixth generation of directors, has made films that have been shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, and the Berlin Film Festival.
Director Hua Zhen, who has directed the TV series "My Brother Is Called Shunshun".
Actors, Duan Yihong, Hao Lei, Zu Feng, Wu Yue, Wen Zhengrong, Xing Minshan... All are male gods and goddesses level acting school.
Many netizens said that such a top configuration, if the drama filmed is not good, it is too much to say.
I didn't think about it, but a sentence that meant that this drama was difficult to smash became a prophecy of God.
After the end of the series, the show's rating stabilized at 5.7.
Comparing the 8.8 points of "The Hidden Corner" and the 9.1 points of "The Silent Truth", this score can be described as a cliff-like decline.
This top lineup drama, is it really so ugly?
01
Remember what Shadow Sister said?
The more screenwriters of a film and television drama, the more unreliable the plot of the film and television drama.
"Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog", a 12-episode drama, there are 5 screenwriters alone.
The problem is that this drama is not the setting of the unit drama at all.
5 people telling a story, can you really smooth the story?
Shadow Sister expressed doubts.
If nothing else, just the first episode alone makes people look down.
At the beginning of the first episode, it is a "panic" created by drawing frames.
As a result, the panic of the series has not yet been felt, and the panic outside the series has been felt first: many viewers think that the computer or TV is stuck.
In the shaky and incoherent picture, a girl in a red school uniform is on the run, and a black shadow is chasing.
Just when the shadow sister held her breath and waited to see the results of the chase, the camera changed, a group of students in blue uniforms finished school, and Xuan Nianmei and Mu Ge, wearing blue school uniforms, walked out of the school together.
After seeing a handsome man riding a motorcycle, they were stunned at the same time, took two steps and ran.
The handsome man riding a motorcycle is called Zhu Shenghui, and when he sees the girl he likes running, he and his good friend begin to chase, and Nian Mei's father, who rides an electric car to pick up his daughter from school, also begins to chase.
So, a chase scene of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind began in the alley of Jiangnan Town.
In the end, the chase scene ended with Nian Mei's father throwing Zhu Shenghui on the ground and beating him violently.
None of us could understand why there were so many alleys, and Nian Mei and Mu Ge only ran on the main road, lest Zhu Shenghui not see them.
None of us know why when Nian Mei's father beat Zhu Shenghui, Zhu Shenghui's good friend was watching motionlessly next to him, even if he was scared silly for too long.
This 10-minute chase scene is neither attractive nor promoting the development of the plot, nor does it make the characters stand up.
At the same time, the story of the girl in the red school uniform at the beginning seems to be unconcerned.
The beginning is inexplicable, and the plot progress is still inexplicable.
At night, Nian Mei, who walked in the alley, always felt that someone was following her.
Instead of going home, she went to find her girlfriend, Mug.
One second Mu Ge was still wearing a school uniform with a ponytail, and the next second he became a trendy little sister.
The two of them happily went to the disco.
Coincidentally, Zhu Shenghui's good friend was in the disco, and soon, Zhu Shenghui appeared.
After giving Zhu Shenghui a slap, Nian Mei ran out of the disco.
It is also being followed and harassed, and it is said that ordinary people will go home quickly at this time.
But the usual way of Nian Mei did not.
She first told Mugg when Muge said she behaved like a kitten that she had slept with people (in fact, she didn't).
Then he didn't let Muge send it, insisting on going home alone.
Soon, Xuan Nianmei found that there were still people following her, and this person was neither Zhu Shenghui nor her father, but a bit like her teacher...
I have to say that Xuan Nianmei's two moves made the shadow sister unbelievable, which is really a rhythm to die.
As soon as this scene is over, the first episode is basically over, and we don't know where the mystery fog is.
As an audience, we can't understand Xuan Nianmei's various practices, and it is naturally difficult to empathize with her.
And Mu Ge and Zhu Shenghui are all facial like tool people, and they are just pawns at the mercy of the screenwriter.
As for this plot, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an unpopular youth film.
Or the most bloody kind:
Rich and handsome harass me, plastic sisters slander me, teachers follow me, dead sister's father always manages me...
What did I do wrong, and why didn't the whole world let me go? ”
At this point, this drama is like the name of the heroine, Xuan Nian Mei, no suspense.
The disciples left a field of chickens and dogs.
02
The plot of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" unfolds through two parts.
Part of it centers on Xuan Nianmei and tells about her youth growth.
The other section centers on Xuanzhen and tells the story of the impact of her death on a family.
Who is Xuanzhen?
The red school uniform girl who was hunted down at the beginning of the first episode was killed 19 years ago, and the murderer has not yet been arrested.
Xuan Zhen's death cast a shadow over the family's life.
On the contrary, this shadow is surreal, almost supernatural.
In this era of not believing in ghosts, there are still people who believe in evil in the Xuan family who are policemen in their homes.
For example, Xuan Min, the wife of police officer Yuan Fei.
She firmly believes that her inability to conceive is related to the death of her sister Xuanzhen.
In order to get pregnant, she always advised her husband to drink water that he did not know what to mix.
For example, Xuan Min's brother, xuan Nianmei's father Xuan Liang.
He firmly believed that his daughter and his dead sister looked more and more alike.
His sister was killed at the age of 18, which made him think that his daughter would also be in trouble at the age of 18.
This worry made him want to control and discipline his daughter too much.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the most basic and ridiculous setting of this drama.
Xuan Nianmei and the dead sister-in-law look exactly the same, is this really possible?
It is not only the Xuan family who believe in evil, but also the Zhu family.
Upon hearing that Xuan Liang's sister had died, Zhu Shengwen, who felt unlucky, immediately laid Xuan Liang off.
The jade pendant hanging on the office wall here shattered without warning, and Zhu Shenghui, Zhu Shengwen's son, was killed.
In this way, the said suspense drama became a supernatural drama.
What the audience wants to see is how a person's death has caused a rift in the family.
This rift should be close to reality and rich in layers.
As a result, the drama was filmed as how a family was suspicious of a person's death.
In the last episode, as soon as the case is solved, Xuan Min becomes pregnant, and Yuan Fei happily announces that he wants to be a father in front of Xuan Zhen's tomb.
A good suspense drama, do you want to be so mysterious, as if it is really some supernatural phenomenon that makes Xuan Min unable to get pregnant...
Isn't treating supernatural supernatural supernatural wonders as suspense really fooling the audience?
Want to see the spirit, "Soul Ferry" is not fragrant!
03
Although there are two crimes separated by 19 years,
But the suspense of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" is still weak.
In Xuan Zhen's case 19 years ago, there was no talk about the process of solving the case, and a sentence has not been caught so far.
Nowadays, in Zhu Shenghui's case, major progress depends on monitoring, and the sense of suspense is naturally infinitely weakened.
How did the case end up?
It is all up to the murderer and the murderer's daughter-in-law to give it all up.
What about the evidence?
We didn't see it either.
The way the series uses to create suspense is almost ineffective.
In what way?
First let the audience see event A, and then go back to event A and add some plot in the later plot, which is equivalent to allowing the audience to see the whole picture of the event.
The plot of Xuan Liang's smashing of his daughter's mobile phone is like this, and the same is true of the plot of Mu Ge giving the little bastard a message.
But the problem is that this does not play any role at all, except to make people feel that the plot is repetitive and suspected of water injection.
Of course, for this drama, suspense and crime are not the focus, the rift in the home is the focus.
But suspense and ethics, this drama is not good at all.
If you want to talk about a good home, you must naturally talk about the delicate relationship between people in the family and your family.
Throughout the Xuan family, everyone is suspended, everything is dog blood, and no detail can build a real and believable person.
Xuan Liang, who worries about his daughter being killed every day, firmly believes that infertility is related to his dead sister, and Xuan Min is almost neurotic.
Before Xuan Zhen was killed, Xuan Liang, who was supposed to pick up his sister, was sleeping with Xiang Hao (coincidentally it was Mu Ge's mother).
After school, Xuan Zhen neither went with her sister Xuan Min who was out of the car, nor did she go with her twin sister Xuan Zhu in the same class.
I had to wait in the rain and forget to pick up her brother because she slept with Xianghao...
Did the screenwriter write this plot with his feet?
As the center of the case and the Xuan family, Xuan Zhen's character development is very unsuccessful.
What is Xuanzhen in the play?
Carefully obstruct the first love of the twin sister Xuanzhu, ridicule Xuanzhu for all kinds of suppression and ridicule of yin and yang, seduce the male teacher of the Kun opera troupe (with a woman's husband), and verbally stimulate him when he knows that the male teacher is a pervert.
Such a Xuanzhen will only make the audience's liver ache, so that the bullet screen is scolding her for being a, saying that she deserves to be killed.
Such a role modeling can only incite the audience's emotions, but it cannot trigger the audience's understanding of the role.
At the same time, the direction of the plot is equally puzzling.
In the first half of the plot, the family is full of contradictions, and as soon as the case is solved in the last episode, the whole family is suddenly reconciled.
Suddenly it's bald.
See?
The series only presents the most extreme side of the character, only the most bloody side of the plot, and those daily and hidden under the daily swells are ignored.
As a result, the characters can't stand, the plot has no logic, and the deeper things are not to mention.
After saying this, the shadow girl wants to talk about the importance of small actors again.
Like "The Hidden Corner", "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" also unfolds the plot through the perspective of minors.
In "The Hidden Corner", Pupu, Yan Liang, and Zhu Chaoyang have very different personalities, everyone's every move is a drama, and they are integrated with the atmosphere of the whole play.
But in "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog", Xuan Nianmei, Xuan Zhen, Mu Ge, and Zhu Shenghui are all very stereotypical and tooly people.
Xuan Nianmei and Xuan Zhen are the main backbones of the two story lines, but their acting skills are not convincing.
When a small actor becomes the eye of a play, if the eye of the play collapses, the whole play will naturally collapse.
Plus a messy script,
Duan Yihong, Hao Lei, Zu Feng, Wu Yue, these acting schools even if they perform harder,
To no avail.
