I was attracted by a clip:
"Brother Zhao and a few people are here today. Firstly, they are all gathering together. Secondly, they just want to see my Yan Hongqiao, in Lanhe County. Is it okay to speak?"
"Brother, look at what you said, aren't you funny? You have already set up a stick in our corner. If you say you can't do it, who can do it?"
"How do the meat skewers taste?" "
"Hmm, smells good!"
"Do you know what kind of meat it is?"
"Mutton brother?"
"Didn't you see one less person?"
A "social elder brother" summoned a group of younger brothers to come and said I wanted to treat my brothers to kebabs, and the above conversation took place.
Cruel, scary and creepy.
This trailer is from the suspense drama - "Black Earth Silent".
, this 12-episode suspense drama, has officially premiered on Tencent Video recently.
All I can say about this is that as soon as 2024 started, domestic dramas immediately ushered in the "Crazy January".
1. Black Earth - Mystery and magic go hand in hand
I don’t know since when, the Northeast has become a hot spot for Chinese suspense literature.
The bold and sturdy folk customs, the humorous language with a strong social flavor, the heavy snow in the sky, and the cold winter all cast a chilling atmosphere on this fertile black land.
Take last year as an example, there were two suspense dramas, and the stories took place in the Northeast.
One is "Meritorious Service" and the other is "The Long Season".
Director Xin Shuang used only 12 episodes in "The Long Season" to tell the story of the decline of the Northeast in an era using one person or a group of people as the main line.
It seems that facing the great wheel of time and destiny, everyone is an ant.
The same is true for today's "Black Soil Silence".
Lanhe, a small northeastern town that has always been peaceful, has caused waves due to a bizarre murder case - a murder occurred at the famous local company Hongqiao Group. Three people died suddenly, but the causes of death were different.
Among the dead was Yan Hongqiao himself.
After such a serious and vicious crime occurred, Guan Yu, captain of the Lanhe Criminal Police Team, quickly launched an investigation, and the suspects also appeared one by one.
Among them were Yang Si, who had just been released from prison for two months, Yang Si's stepson Yang Xuesong, who was deeply involved in a relationship with the two deceased persons, and Yan Hongqiao's ex-wife Wang Ping.
Even, there is a mysterious man who has been dead on the file for many years.
As Guan Yu’s investigation continues to deepen, a past event in the Northeast that spanned 15 years from 1990 to 2005 gradually emerged.
Bizarre cases, mysterious suspenseful people, "Black Soil Silence" has already completed the story from the structure.
2, Zang Xichuan’s persistence
The rise of domestic suspense online dramas actually started in 2017.
In this year, "White Night" fired the first shot of the suspense drama, and then iQiyi launched its own "Mist Theater", and its pioneer work was "Undocumented Crime".
Yan Liang and Li Toyota, "Zijin Chen Universe" was born.
At that time, Zang Xichuan, as Zhang Yimou's deputy, had already participated in directing many works such as "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".
However, when he was an independent director, he inevitably encountered creative bottlenecks.
On the one hand, due to various reasons such as fame, Zang Xichuan cannot receive larger productions, and some low-cost films have seriously lowered his reputation in the industry.
Finally, he waited for "Ten Days Game".
is also a work of Mist Theater. Although "Ten Days Game" is not as influential as "The Hidden Corner" or "The Silent Truth" in the same period, it is still a sincere work.
Zang Xichuan is still insisting. What is he waiting for?
——x theater.
"The Long Season" gave Goose Factory's x theater finally full confidence.
Then I believe that this "Black Earth Silent" will definitely amaze everyone.
3, the two elders and the stunning female lead
How good is a suspense web drama that cannot be rated as a star?
Then "Black Soil Silence" tells you that in terms of cast, it really does not lose to most star dramas.
The two male protagonists are Chen Jianbin and Hu Jun.
Whether it is "Qiao Family Courtyard", "New Three Kingdoms" or "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Chen Jianbin has firmly established himself as a first-line actor in TV dramas.
Having a background in drama, he has extremely solid acting skills.
As he gets older, Chen Jianbin really seems to be "more handsome as he gets older".
once again plays an old detective. For him, it is undoubtedly Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts - a piece of cake.
and the tough guy Hu Jun.
The "Lan Yu" played by Hu Jun and Liu Ye was impressive, and in the years since, the tough guy image he created on the screen has fascinated people.
The Zhu Yuanzhang and Qiao Feng he portrayed are both indispensable classics in the history of mainland screens.
In addition to the two male protagonists Chen Jianbin and Hu Jun, good and evil, the most noteworthy one is the 40-year-old female lead - Deng Jiajia.
When it comes to Deng Jiajia, many people will first think of Tang Youyou in "Love Apartment".
She, like Wang Chuanjun, Jin Shijia and others, all wanted to get rid of the shadow of "Love Apartment" after becoming famous, and Deng Jiajia was the first and furthest to go.
In 2015, with the movie "Witness", Deng Jiajia won the Best Supporting Actress in both Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, taking a solid step for her subsequent transformation.
After that, she completely fell in love with suspense dramas.
mentioned before "Undocumented Crime", Deng Jiajia is one of the starring roles.
But in recent years, Deng Jiajia's performance that impressed me most was the crying scene in the movie "Famous" - grievance mixed with unwillingness, like pear blossoms with rain.
is extremely moving.
This time, the suspenseful universe is restarted. What kind of wonderful performance will she contribute?
