This is why this year’s "Under the Busty City", "Da Song Youth Chronicles 2" and so on The main reason why several works that incorporate suspense elements caused a lot of waves during their popularity.
However, compared to other types of costume dramas, the number of works produced by costume suspense dramas is relatively small.
Since the completion of "One Thought Guanshan", which set off a huge wave of heated discussions at the end of the year, the subsequent costume dramas have become unbearable to watch. After long calls, costume dramas have begun to usher in new works.
The TV series "Apocalypse Strange Stories" is a costume fantasy drama that suddenly appeared in the sky. Integrating elements of fantasy, suspense and intrigue, the rich content is enough to attract attention, and the powerful cast is enough to attract fans.
"Apocalypse", as a major drama at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, has successfully mastered the new hot code in plot and production. The most exciting thing about this TV series
is that it is different from other costume suspense dramas. The perspective is very innovative. It is also one of the more creative and innovative fantasy suspense productions in recent years.
"Apocalypse Strange Stories" begins with a clear and purposeful narrative around a case. It approaches the truth behind the case step by step, allowing the interweaving of the characters and the main and branch stories from beginning to end. , taking the audience into the fog step by step, and then clearing the fog step by step.
At the beginning, the plot has been guiding the protagonist and the audience into the suspense zone. It is laid out by following the protagonist's perspective and heading towards the dark snow-covered forest. It is then laid out step by step, and then leads to further developments due to sudden conflicts. Plot development.
starts from the perspective of the male protagonist Chu Sijing. Under the orders of the imperial court, he hides his identity and conducts a secret investigation. He only goes forward to find out where this "strange disease" comes from?
As soon as the "strange disease" came out, the main suspense thread of the story was thrown out. But as the plot continues to develop, the official struggle behind the "strange disease" slowly begins to emerge. It turns out that the "strange disease" at the beginning is just a hook, and the story becomes more and more interesting.
However, this is no ordinary official struggle. The plot development of encounters between monsters and the protagonist has raised the complexity and richness of the story to another level.
Chu Sijing turned on the keen investigation mode along the way. However, as his identity was revealed, the officers and soldiers began to use various excuses, and even deliberately used a few patients to kill them. This made the dramatic atmosphere of the whole story more intense, and Chu Sijing also I felt more and more that there must be something not simple here, so I started a relentless pursuit of the investigation.

As the new work of Lu Yang, the director of "Xiuchundao", this TV series not only has a brilliant presentation in the plot, but also put a lot of hard work into the production of the work. The highly textured shots are like Like a blockbuster, the environment shrouded in snow and fog reveals an eerie and suspenseful atmosphere. The environment that greets you is like putting people in a dangerous scene.
Under the white snow, a man wearing a black cloak appears alone in the camera. The mysterious identity and mysterious environment blend together to create an indescribable atmosphere and a dangerous atmosphere. Overflows off screen.
As soon as the camera turned, Chu Sijing's solemn expression contained too many thoughts. When the background music played, the mood of watching the drama was also raised.
points
Of course, the reason why this suspense drama has been well received cannot be separated from the joining of powerful actors.
Huang Xuan, a powerful actor, has contributed many excellent works in the field of film and television. With his upright appearance, coupled with his ability to stand the test of roles and works, his abilities in all aspects are worthy of recognition.
Compared with the development in other fields, Huang Xuan has appeared relatively rarely in the field of costume dramas, especially costume fantasy dramas, and the character created in the drama is also a new personality, which poses certain challenges. But from the first appearance, it can be seen that his acting skills are still very good.
As a Jinyiwei, Huang Xuan's whole body revealed an inaccessible sense of distance and coldness in the process of shaping the character, showing the temperament and aura of a big shot, but to send superstitions When I was there, I couldn't see the irritation from the previous second at all. Instead, I had a friendly face running errands. The expressions and movements switched naturally. Suddenly, the image of the little person had a different feeling.
However, during the conversation, the subtle changes in micro-expressions show that the character has been maintaining the proper sense of vigilance and sobriety to spy on the news. He has a friendly expression in front of others, and a thoughtful expression behind his back. His acting skills are fully demonstrated at this moment.
Wu Yue's acting performance in this TV series is also eye-catching. Although the character is just an inconspicuous military attaché, he looks cheerful and unformed on the surface. But as soon as the smile fades and the eyes glance over, the contrast between the character's before and after is revealed. The character's thoughtfulness and understanding of everything is not a simple identity, and it becomes clear at once.
In addition, the performance of Jiang Qiming, a young actor who left a deep impression on the audience in suspense dramas, is also very brilliant. He is also a man who looks like nothing, but is actually a thoughtful person, which is contrary to the image shown on the surface. The character is not a simple character.
Jiang Qiming's character is relaxed and relaxed, his acting is very stable, and he seems to have no flaws. He is still very brilliant when he plays on the same stage with "veteran actors" such as Huang Xuan and Wu Yue.
All in all, I watched 7 episodes of "Apocalypse" in one go. The more I watched, the more attracted I was by the story, especially how the subsequent plot will end.
