Cinema replaces a world that is more in tune with our aspirations
There is a magical setting in the Japanese manga "The Magician of the Cute Lineage": a man who can maintain his virginity until the age of 30 can have magic.
Over time, it became an urban legend popular among Japanese otaku.
Unexpectedly, in the recent late-night Japanese drama, this legend has become true.
Come, let's take a deep breath, and then read out the title of this film that tests lung capacity —
"At the age of 30, still a virgin,
Seems to be turning into a magician"
Anda Qing, a low-level social animal nearly 30 years old, is an old and good person in the company who can be bullied.
He has a shy personality, although his heart is full of fantasies about love, but he simply does not have the opportunity and courage to practice.
Even if he is squeezed by his colleagues every day, he never complains, but silently bears a huge workload.
The bun-type personality is silly and sweet, and it is a person like him.
Unexpectedly, on the day of my 30th birthday, that magical urban legend was actually fulfilled! He became a magician with mind reading!
As long as you have physical contact with someone else, you can get his mental activity.
In other words, this skill similar to that of Professor X is also quite uncomfortable, and he has to avoid touching it as much as possible.
But there are always crowded places, such as: in elevators, on sidewalks, in cubicles.
By chance, Anda Kiyoshi read the heart of his male colleague Yuichi Kurosawa: it turns out that he has been silently crushing himself?!
Who is Yuichi Kurosawa?
People who joined at the same time as Anda Qing, gold medal employees with up performance, all-round players who are good at various sports, and absolute male gods in the hearts of female colleagues of the company.
Masaga (can't believe it)! Strong elite attack fell in love with the gentle little white? The original light shone into reality.
The follow-up episodes are not difficult to guess: the two will advance their feelings due to various opportunities, and what accidental cohabitation, truth or dare, and pure love plot are all set.
Anda Kiyoshi's sorcerer attributes make Kurosawa's offensive full of comedy.
What is the focus of BL drama (BL is the abbreviation of Boys' Love, which refers to the love affair between men, focusing on emotional description, plot development, and character portrayal)?
Look at the face! Look at the face! Look at the face!
The face is in place, the atmosphere is enough, everything is good to say.
And the director of "The Virgin Magician" just happened to pinch this piece to death.
Director Kazema Taiki is not senior, and has only directed 5 dramas, two of which are special.
But he is particularly good at tapping the CP sense between male actors, coupled with excellent appearance, every time can attract a beautiful audience.
The previous work, "Empire of one country: The Cafe on Student Street", is a mini-drama that echoes the content of the film version and tells the after-school routine of several male gods of Haidi High School.
Leaving aside the content of the short drama, the lineup of Sugata Shokoku x Takeuchi Ryoma x Shizun Jun x Shuhei Nomura x Chiba Yudai x Miya Shotaro has captivated thousands of viewers.
Belly black, loyal dog, sunshine, proud... Everything you need for different tastes.
The subtle basic feelings between each other are even more humiliating.
Another work is called "Men's Cheerleaders! It tells the story of 7 male students who set up a club. The plot is relatively bland and weak, but it has saved the passing score in Douban, mainly thanks to the spark of male CP.
The above two works are playing the edge ball full of emotion, shooting the FU (rot) between the male actors.
In the real BL drama "Virgin Magician", the director's casting talent has finally been fully utilized.
Akatsuki, who has worked as a model, acted in "Kamen Rider" and "Teacher, don't you know? 》。
Keita Machida, who joined nearly 50 works such as "Women's Life", has also participated in many stage plays.
It can be said that the common denominator of the two is: handsome, not too hot.
Now under the guidance of the director, both went to the sea and did a big ticket. Xiao Wan would like to honor the two of them with a sentence of "tearing man".
Believe it or not - the comparison between live-action stills and the original comic cannot be said to be exactly the same, at least it can be said that they are similar to gods.
Chi Chu Wei Er performed Anda's soft and cute temperament, a pair of wet deer eyes, revealing a sense of innocence.
It really makes people believe that he is a pure and ignorant workplace puppy.
Keita Machida emphasized his sense of elitism when portraying the character of Kurosawa. Meticulous hairstyles, ironed suits, and strategizing looks are all permeated with abstinence.
No matter how he moved, on the surface he was an iceberg handsome man.
The greater the difference between the two, the more cp sense. What the audience loves is the funny and good-looking contrast between them.
"The Virgin Magician" is a Japanese late-night drama, that is, a program that airs after 11 p.m. It is scheduled to be broadcast during this time slot, also because its content is not suitable for children.
However, there are exceptions, such as the precocious 5-year-old Nohara Shinnosuke. "Crayon Xiaoxin" often appears in such a plot: in the middle of the night, Xiaoxin secretly watches TV, but is always found and stopped by his mother. Xiao Xin is interested in the island country late night drama.
Japanese late-night dramas have always been very big, and it can be said that a hundred flowers bloom in terms of themes.
There are food dramas that make people can't help but eat late-night snacks, "Late Night Canteen" and "Lonely Foodie";
Suspense dramas that satisfy the audience's appetite, "Okawabata Detective Agency" and "Marquee Corporation";
Imaginative fantasy drama "Jun Yamada and the 7 Witches" and "We Are All Super Powers";
There are also BL dramas with scale and shame that fly together, "Erotic Novelist" and "Virgin Magician".
The commonality of late-night dramas is: lower cost, short and concise. However, because there are fewer restrictions, there have been many small and beautiful dark horses.
On the other hand, it is not ambitious and is mainly for recreation. Audiences with a purpose to pass the time are usually more tolerant of them.
The same is true of "Virgin Magician", and the high score of Douban 9.3 is really a bit high. At the end of the day, the story of Andachi and Kurosawa can be summed up as follows: I treat you as a colleague, but you want to sleep with me.
The love process between the two cannot escape the cliché of office romance. If the role of Anda Qing is changed to a woman, it is no different from the ordinary romance drama where the girl's heart is bubbling.
If you turn it around, it will certainly not reach today's heat. Easy sand sculpture, BL CP, crazy sugar label, to some extent to help spread and receive.
Audiences who do not have any expectations can always harvest surprises and relieve stress in a smile.
This may be the magic of late-night dramas: why think so much? Who wouldn't want to go to sleep with the sweetest sand sculpture candy at the end of a day of social animal life?
