In the past two years, the suspense short drama fire, last year, the Aiyiqi platform opened the reputation of "Mist Theater" with two dramas of "The Hidden Corner" and "Silent Truth", and this year's new season of Mist Theater arrived as scheduled.
Looking forward to it for more than half a year, the first part of the second season is also quite powerful, at least from the lineup to give people a kind of "must see!" Psychological expectations, "The Mist of the Octagonal Pavilion" gathers Duan Yihong, Hao Lei, Zu Feng, Wu Yue and other powerful actors, as well as Wang Xiaoshuai, a literary and artistic director, who takes into account the picture.
Before the official broadcast of the TV series, the drama also held a grand media viewing party, which received a lot of praise.
The superposition of the above buffs also makes the series more expected.
However, as soon as it was broadcast, word of mouth collapsed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="104" > shooting method</h1>
"The Mist of the Octagonal Pavilion" is about a family that was killed by their family 19 years ago and the murder case was not solved, and they are involved in the case again, and the new case superimposes the old case, involving the emotional world of various characters under the eaves.
On the surface, it seems to have a lot of depth, but after watching a few episodes, I feel that the show is just a mystery.
The beginning of the film is a chase scene, a girl running wild in the forest, a figure chasing behind, two figures are very illusory, very Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest" frame dragging feeling.
In fact, I understand that the director wants to reflect the nervous emotions here and set the psychology of suspense, but the shadow time is too long, and I only feel that the lens is too shaky and the visual dizziness.
I thought this visual effect was only temporary, but then it was used frequently, which aggravated this visual fatigue.
In fact, the shadowing or the shaky shots can be said to be incompatible with the clean, regular, and bright sets.
Taking "Chongqing Forest" as an example, the place where the protagonist runs is chaotic street, the background is a complicated neon light, and the shaky shot at this time will make the panic of the rampage in the crowd more; the drag of colorful neon will make the picture more plump.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoshuai's hand can only be said to be flashy and unrealistic.
With this recognition of Wang Xiaoshuai's "handsome play", if you look at this plot again, you will find that the director is telling this story, the narrative is very circumvented.
Taking a multi-line edit seems to design suspense, but the switching is too blunt, giving people a feeling that the story is not clearly told and the main line characters are not standing up.
For example, The father Played by Zu Feng, Xuan Liang, suddenly ran out and dropped his daughter Xuan Nianmei's mobile phone, which made the audience very inexplicable; and later it was edited that they had a quarrel before, and Xuan Liang was provoked by his daughter.
The same editing method is also used after Nian Mei came out of the bar to feel that someone was following, she thought it was her father at first, and later found that she was not directly scared to fall, at this time a switch, the time has reached the next day, in the audience's expectations Nian Mei has been killed.
But in the blink of an eye, her father found the police, and then the time went back to the night before, after Nian Mei fell, her father appeared.
......
It can be said that the editing here directly allows the audience to get out of the suspenseful atmosphere and enter the sage time.
Completely do not understand this very simple plot direction, but it is edited very slowly, the first hammer of the East Hammer, the repetitive narrative, giving people a feeling of editing "no fart use".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="105" > plot setting</h1>
In addition to the problems in editing, the problems in content are not small.
To sum up: this drama is normal except for the male protagonist.
The male protagonist's daughter has some rebellious big girls in the setting, that is, the heroine Xuan Nianmei, she has a bad relationship with her father, and she will usually be chased and harassed by hooligans, she is also very nervous about this, but in such a situation, she will also go in and out of discotheques, nightclubs and other places late at night.
Bundy then let the girlfriend go first, and went home alone late at night.
The policewoman asked Xuan Nianmei about the criminal homicide case, not through the parents, nor through the teacher to find the students for questioning alone, but directly to the classroom for questioning, thus bringing criticism to the girls.
When the policewoman asked Xuan Nianmei, she knew that after Xuan Nianmei knew the deceased, she omitted the routine questions such as why she knew each other, the relationship between the two, and whether there was a contradiction.
The police arrested the deceased's horse boy, who did not have any deep background, but the police station could not stop a small.
Problems in casting also make the plot untenable.
In the play, the little Zhu Shenghui looked at the class flower Nian Mei, through the girlfriend Mu Ge described, Nian Mei is tall and beautiful to learn and good, even many girls in the class are jealous of her, but when the two people are in the same frame, Mu Ge is obviously the one with a more brilliant appearance.
Up the rose, down the wooden grid
Based on this premise, whether it is Zhu Shenghui's infatuation with Nian Mei or Mu Ge's jealousy of Nian Mei, it is not established.
Zhu Xiaohui is a jerk in his early twenties, a good-looking person, but he likes to wear a student sister with border glasses, and does not like the outstanding temperament of the drama troupe actors, which is also strange.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the actors of this drama
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="152" > actor acting</h1>
I have to say that the heroine of this drama, that is, Nian Mei, the role setting is very brilliant.
As a high school student, she is controlled by her father, harassed by hooligans, betrayed by jealousy, is a depressed and rebellious, a little crazy, a multi-faceted character who dares to tell people directly that she has "slept with people".
But it is such a brilliant character image that has become the biggest failure.
The small actors swallow their lines, talk in tone, and their performances are very blunt, superficial, and they cannot express deep emotions.
And the performance of the Mesozoic actors is also a bit disappointing, one is in the comfort zone, too big surprises, such as #Duan Yihong#. He has a lot of recent works, all of which are police-related, but compared to other works, his role in this work is too crotch-pulling and too expensive!
The other is that the role itself has too many irrationalities, making the actor's interpretation look very suspended.
Most importantly, the gap between the play, when the Mesozoic actors and small actors play, one second is still excited about the atmosphere, the next second will wither.
There are many supporting roles, and everyone wants to show off their acting skills, which leads to excessive force on the scene, and then all of them are tool people.
The Misty Theater in 2020 once made people think that domestic suspense dramas were going to stand up from now on.
But judging from the situation of today's broadcast, it seems to be overrated.
After a short climax, the capital market flocked in, and every drama this quarter was very good in terms of setting and publicity.
The topic of the cast is much higher than last year.
For example, the lineup of "Who is the Murderer" is 85 flowers of #Zhao Liying#, plus Dong Zijian and Xiao Yang
"Gold Rush" is the son of film emperor Liao Fan and the great director Chen Feiyu.
"Fatal Wish" is 00 Small Flower # Ren Min # Ren Min and Pre-explosion Traffic # Fan Cheng Cheng #.
But now the most anticipated drama "Octagonal Pavilion" can not stand up to word of mouth, but also let the audience very worried about the next few episodes, has been changed by capital beyond recognition.
