Recently, Brother Hao's backstage exploded.
Someone asks about a corrupt drama every day.
, but Brother Hao has been holding and not pushing .
, as a senior "appraiser of corruption", has survived these years under the harsh eyes of Brother Hao. However, "Addiction" (Mainland China), "One Years" (Thailand), "Cross Boundary" (Taiwan, China), etc. are few unit.
Those years of "Sea Ruo has a cause"
Now this one, seeing the 10th episode, Brother Hao was finally pokemed by , a detail never seen before in a rotten play by (for details, read on).
So, this is for you all-
"HIStory3-Trap"
(2019)
Beginning in 2017, Taiwan CHOKO satellite TV began to produce "History series " corruption drama in the form of unit dramas, and has now completed two seasons. The first season of
2017 includes three units of "My Hero", "Away from Me" and "Enchanted", with 4 episodes per unit. The second season of
2018 includes two units of "Right and Wrong" and "Crossing the Boundary", each with 8 episodes. The

"The Trap" is the first unit of the third season.
Because of the additional investment of investors in , the third season will be a comprehensive upgrade of the first two seasons. It contains two units of "Trap" and "Miracle" . Not only does the number of episodes double to 20 episodes , The plot will also be more complicated.
's "Trap" currently being broadcast uses a bolder theme, the theme of police and criminals.
History's five completed previous works, to be honest, the level is uneven.
For example, "Right and Wrong" , the sugar content is indeed sufficient, but the Taiwan actor Jiang Changhui + Zhang Xing composed of " low version Duan Yihong x Li Zonghan " teacher and student CP, Hao brother really can't move.

and "Cross Boundary" , not only won the series highest score of 8.6 in Douban, but also in the 53rd Taiwan TV Golden Bell Awards in 2018, was nominated by for Best Mini Series Award (finally lost by "They exploded the day before graduation 2").

At the same time, the film version of "Crossing Boundary" has also been put on the agenda (of course, it has no relationship with the mainland cinema, please behave and wait for resources).
"Cross Boundary" not only uses the original actor cast (so you can see "Summer Girl" again), but also the "Civil and Martial" brother CP who is stunned by and will have a complete ending. Here comes the question of
: What is the level of "Trap" in the History series?
"Trap" stills
currently broadcast 10 episodes, should be second only to "crossing the boundary" .
Douban 8.0, more than 2300 people scored together. The scale of
is getting bigger and bigger, and the production is getting more and more refined. It is obvious that CHOKO Satellite TV intends to build History into the first IP of Chinese-language drama.
In terms of launching actors, History is exactly the same as the Thai rot drama model.
is divided into two stages: in the first stage of
, new actors will be introduced for each new drama, and in the second stage, after the production is mature, these actors will be allowed to interact with each other in subsequent dramas to form more CPs.
The early CP of the Thai rot drama, the white boat CP in "Troubled by Love", is the second stage product of Thailand's newly released "Fall in Love with You during Ching Ming Festival" and "Because I Miss You" this year.
But because some of the CPs in the first stage are too popular, the second stage of this "dismantling CP and reorganization" method, for CP fans, inevitably requires an adaptation period.
such as Thai rot benchmark "Annual" in CP, Krist and Singto, the seniors and younger brothers, swept through Thailand with "One Year", including "Top Ten Most Popular Screen Couples", "LINE TV Best Couples of the Year", "2018KAZZ Best Screen Couples of the Year", etc. This kind of "Best Couple Award", so when Singto is CP with other male stars in the new series, there will indeed be a sense of contradiction.

and History is still in the first stage: almost every drama has a different starring.
, in particular, "Crossing the Boundary", even became popular in Taiwan, including four new stars Lu Yanze, Fan Shaoxun, Yang Menglin, and Shi Baiyu. In
"The Trap", almost all faces are also fresh faces. The only one who is slightly well-known is Ding Chuncheng (the other three: Gao Yixiang, Lan Juntian, Chen Shaocheng), one of the "Taiwan Fashion F4".
"Snare" starring lineup
At first glance, the appearance of several starring "Snare" is not high in terms of the face-seeking type of drama.
But at the moment when the production of dramas is becoming more and more mature, 's appearance is really no longer the only hard currency. It is the personality and details that are harder than the appearance.
The senior Krist in "One Year's Birth" vividly transformed his passerby's appearance into a fairy face that fascinated thousands of young girls through personal design, details, and performance.
(Krist appeared in the play for the first time, Brother Hao really thought he was a passerby.)
Who is saying that my face is bad?
"The Trap" is so good, it depends on not just the appearance.
Let's take a look at the three major CPs in the play.
CP01
Meng Shaofei X Tang Yi
The birthdays of the two actors are the same day
"Trap" main CP, actor, Xu Junhao X Wu Chengyang .
Meng Shaofei , the pillar of the detective three criminal police team, will blow up hair if they don't agree with each other, and love to eat Fei vinegar (hereafter called him "Meng Fei vinegar").
Tang Yi , the young black master of the Xingtian League, who wanted to free the Xingtian League from the underworld, and from then on doing business with integrity.
Four years ago, a big case involving police and bandits brought Meng Feizu and Tang Yi together.
Because Tang Yi was the only survivor in the case, and Meng Feizu was the person in charge of the case, not to mention that the senior he respected was also killed in the case.
But, seriously, just take a look at the underworld plot in "The Trap", don’t worry, it is the same as the drug trafficking plot in the iQiyi network drama "Morning Sun" , there is almost no authenticity at all, all Like a child playing house.
Of course, the focus of the screenwriter is naturally not here.
is responsible for the case and seeks the truth for the predecessors. These are just subconscious excuses of Meng Feizu. His real purpose is only one-
sticks to Tang Yi!
Tang Yi has said the same testimony 3,000 times, and the criminal investigation captain also tried his best to prevent Meng Feizu from resolving the case, but where did the justice messenger Meng Feizu agree?
Tang Yi goes to the suit shop, follow!
Tang Yi goes to the restaurant, follow!
Tang Yi was chased and fled into the mountains, follow!
opened Tang Yi's mouth, closed Tang Yi.
experience the two eyes
Finally, even on the grounds of "protecting witnesses", he applied to the third team of the investigation team and lived in Tang Yi's mansion grandly!
(I just want to ask, is the screenwriter Xiu'er or the devil?)
It was not until Meng Feizu was injured and Tang Yi gave him medicine that Meng Feizu realized that he had a strange feeling for Tang Yi. What about
?
hide?
No, Meng Fei's vinegar started to become jealous.
Everyone who is close to Tang Yi has no vinegar that he can't eat.
It is reasonable to say that this kind of essence belongs to the "control freak" personality, which will definitely be hated by the audience, but the strange thing is, actor Xu Junhao was unexpectedly pleasing to .
Xu Junhao's styling in the play always has a lock of hair curled up, whether it is intentional or unintentional, this lock of hair just strengthens his innocent temperament from the image.
and the character’s questioning and satisfaction of self-emotion in the play are all handled by Xu Junhao lively and bright . Compared with
, Tang Yi is more mysterious and profound.
He has a vague relationship with Tang Ye, the old master of the Xingtian League, Zuo Hongye, the principal of the Xingtian League, and even his subordinates.
"Snare" deals with these three sets of emotions in an extremely ambiguous way, but when it comes to Mengfeizu, the emotions gradually become clearer step by step.
Finally, I can talk about the details mentioned by Brother Hao:
At the end of episode 10, Meng Fei vinegar was in a coma due to an abdominal gunshot wound. After the operation, Tang Yi came to the bed and quietly watched Meng Fei vinegar and stretched out. Stopped in the air, facing Meng Fei's pale face, lightly drew his eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips with his fingers...
strong poke details
screenwriter match high, this detail is really good!
It reminds Brother Hao in minutes of the classic quote of American writer J.D. Salinger:
love is to touch but withdraw his hand ! The last time
saw such touching details in a rotten drama, or in "One Year", the seniors returned the goddess in the three-person photo from the folded state to the flat state. What does it mean?
"One Year" has become the highest scored corruption drama
He can calmly let the girl he likes exist in his heart, just like his other relatives and friends, because his heart belongs to the position of love and has been transferred to another person.
really put down, not to delete the other party from the friend list, but no longer palpitations to see the other party's name in the list.
CP02
Zhao Zi X Jack
"Trap" Deputy CP, actor, Chen Tingxuan X Bian Qinghua . The excellent deputy CP of
does not grab the limelight of the dominant CP while being able to shine.
(Actually, the deputy CP in "Beyond the Boundary" is a bit of a rush to dominate the CP, but fortunately the "Xia Mai" hold the scene.)
Zhao Zi is Meng Feizu's criminal police colleague, and Jack is Tang Yi's other subordinate.
was hunted down because of Tang Yi and Meng Feizu, and then disappeared. Jack thought that Zhao Zi had news, so he tied Zhao Zi to Tang's house and asked Tang Yi whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, after asking, the two felt a little bit CP feeling .
Regardless of the personality and the storyline, this pair of CPs is much simpler, but this does not prevent them from producing high sweetness.
CP03
Left Red Leaf X Old Road One
The only male and female CP in "The Trap", actor, Lin Yizhen X Ding Chuncheng .
These two people hide deep. The
drama has always pointed Zuo Hongye's emotional tendencies towards Tang Yi. It is convincing that Zuo Hongye loves Tang Yi, but the person who really understands Zuo Hongye is the old way.
For example, Koichi knows which flavor of ice cream Zuo Hongye likes best.
Until the last two episodes, Zuo Hongye suddenly came to Gu Daoyi in the underground garage, and came to a tearful confession of true love. The acting skills were indeed remarkable, but the emotional arrangement between the two always felt abrupt.
If Zuo Hongye loves Gu Daoyi, what is her feelings for Tang Yi?
After all, Zuo Hongye leans in Tang Yi's arms whenever he gets the chance, and always asks Tang Yi to stay away from Meng Fei's vinegar.
Generally speaking, "The Trap" is a corrupt drama that can be called "good-looking". The most basic of
rot drama, which has a smaller audience, should be to create high-quality characters through details and shooting, and then combine the appropriate CP on the basis of the characters.
In this process, there is actually a trick (Brother HaoI shamelessly teach you to the screenwriters here, that is, creates contrast .
lay the foundation, you can pursue the excitement of the plot and the depth of thought.
"Trap" is at least a first-echelon drama with a good foundation.
Finally, the sharp-eyed Brother Hao found in the ending subtitles that the play had actually been supported by the "New Taipei City Government".
cow!
PS: The ending credits of each episode of "The Trap" are really exquisite, probably the best ending of a rotten drama.
Finally, if you want to watch this show, privately write the title of the show " trap ", or follow the public account " county movie " and send a message "trap".
