"Soul Ferry" starring Yi, Liu Zhiyang and Xiao Yin, is a suspenseful ghost-themed network drama, which tells the story of yin and yang-eyed teenagers and soul ferrymen, helping ghosts stranded in the world because their hearts are not over. As a small-cost web series, the success of "Soul Ferry" is undoubtedly unrepeatable.
In 2014, at that time, the TV series, the network drama was still a piece of anti-Japanese drama, or idol drama, as a ghost suspense drama with a fresh theme, it was undoubtedly a little red in the evergreen bush. Originally thought that "Soul Ferry" is a thunder drama, did not expect that it was actually a dark horse, out of the dust, until now the Douban score is 8.6 points, in the suspense ghost network drama dominant, but also proved that the mainland network drama is not only with exaggeration, nonsense, and even vulgarity to flatter the audience. So why does Soul Ferry stand out?
It starts with multiple short stories
This drama is different from the previous story narration to the end, but the use of multiple stories to tell, by the protagonist Xia Dongqing in tandem, forming a main line, the opening of the narration feel instantly pulled up the style of the TV series, giving people a refreshing feeling.
The Buddhist scriptures record that there are five kinds of eyes in this world, the heavenly eye, the wise eye, the Dharma eye, the Buddha eye, and the naked eye. The eyes of the flesh are obscure and unclear, seeing the near and not seeing the far, seeing the front and not seeing the back, seeing the light and not seeing the dark.
I have a secret that my eyes can see ghosts
From this sentence, various stories are introduced. Each story is independent of each other but may be inextricably linked to the main line or the protagonist. Each story has a narration, the narration and the story corroborate each other, each story is terrifying but with warmth, it seems to be the story of a ghost, but it points directly to the human heart, and what is seen is a hundred forms of life. Just like the undercover policeman in the second episode of the ghost detective, who is friends with death and night, always wanders around the edge of the Yellow Spring, unveils a corner of the Yellow Spring, and when the time comes, death comes to the side. The world kissed him bitterly, but he sang in return, even at the cost of ashes, so all the undercover cops are great.
The second is that it seems to be terrifying, but it is actually warm
At the beginning, I was startled by the picture of the female ghost, I originally thought it was a horror, but if you continue to look at it, you will feel that although there is some horror, it is washed away by the protagonist group's treasure interpretation, whether it is the red-clad student sister of the dormitory, or the dead male ghost in the corpse who still has the soul of his old love story, each ghost has his own obsession, but once he enters the underworld, there is no way back, and the obsession is futile.
The peculiar construction of the worldview is refreshing
The appearance of the non-mainstream inner simple and lovely Heavenly Man Wang Xiaoya; the appearance of cold and wild, the heart of the gentle and affectionate messenger of the underworld Zhao Wei plus the external soft and melancholy, inner kindness and love of Xia Dongqing, is definitely the effect of 1+1+1>3. Screenwriter Xiao Jixiangtian built a unique world view, God created heavenly people and original people, heavenly people and original people went to war, original people failed, heavenly people cleaned the earth, and then created people, only then did they have a variety of stories later, I have to say that the screenwriter's knowledge reserves are very rich, bo ancient and modern. Gods and ghosts, mountains and seas and strange books are all involved, and the most rare thing is that the pits dug can still be filled up, which can justify themselves. From the content point of view, borrowing the ancient irony of the present, just like the story of the Weaver Girl, it is no longer a poignant love story, the Weaver Girl has transformed into a character full of sadness and horror, after watching it, people shudder and feel the greed and horror of human nature.
Without further ado, "Soul Ferry" is a story of ghosts and ghosts, and I hope that all the officials will see a hundred forms of life.
