"Apocalypse", directed by Lu Yang, directed by Qiao Lei and Fan Chuan, and starring Huang Xuan, Wu Yue, and Zhang Rongrong, has officially announced that it will be broadcast exclusively on iQiyi on December 30. The play tells the story of an epidemic that broke out on a small island outside Ningyuan City during the Tianqi Period. Chu Sijing, a royal guard, secretly went to investigate, but he kept falling into strange and dangerous situations. The play innovatively combines fantasy imagination with oriental culture, and its unique temperament is refreshing.
Strange stories are spread in the border areas, and the desolate island hides strange diseases.
"Apocalypse Weird News" is based on the story of Chu Sijing (played by Huang Xuan), a member of the Jinyiwei Hundreds during the Apocalypse, who was ordered to go to Ningyuan City, a borderland, to find out the truth about the epidemic of typhoid fever. beginning. Sensational rumors of "monsters causing trouble" and "patients being eaten by monsters" frequently appeared, but local officials claimed that it was just common typhoid fever and nothing abnormal. From Ningyuan City to Ninghai Fort, and then to Wumu Island, an isolated island on the sea, Chu Sijing collided with various forces such as Tartar official Boyan (played by Wu Yue), foreign captain Angelica (played by Zhang Rongrong), and the investigation gradually deepened. The situation has become increasingly dangerous.
The mysterious power under the strange imagery and the concealment in people's rhetoric seem to indicate that there is an ulterior secret hidden in Wumu Island. The island that should be full of life looks like a wild and polar scene, but the villagers who originally relied on the sea to eat are required to eat no fish. The ice and snow on the island cover up the illness of the villagers, and also provide a hiding place for the "monster" and the forces behind it. Under many obstacles, how Chu Sijing and his team will overcome difficulties and approach the truth has become the most anticipated highlight of the series.
A high-quality product with a new theme of oriental classics, an isolated island in troubled times highlights the undertones of human nature
"Apocalypse" incorporates oriental culture into it, which is undoubtedly a fresh attempt full of surprises. The series combines black ibis, Heng Gong, Xuan Ming and other oriental monsters that have appeared in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Classic of Gods" with isolated island adventure stories, which has great oriental aesthetics and visual impact. The confrontation and pull between humans and monsters also has a more oriental philosophy and sense of fate. While following the adventures of the protagonist group to pursue clues about the monsters, the story also provides an in-depth portrayal of complex human nature in troubled times. Good and evil are not distinguished by appearances. Characters in different positions have their own desires and puzzles. I believe that with the joint efforts of powerful actors such as Huang Xuan, Wu Yue, Zhang Rongrong, and Lu Fangsheng, as well as new-generation actors such as Wang Shengdi and Jiang Qiming, the play will bring a wonderful group portrait story.
