Suspense drama, failed again?
The first shot in the TV drama market this year, "Flowers" versus "Three Brigades" .
is one hit after another, everyone is on the table to eat, and word-of-mouth ratings are rising steadily.
opened high and moved low, and the king bomb in one hand had the effect of "versing San'er". I thought I was holding back a lot, but I didn't expect it to be a big one.
The second shot, "Black Soil Silence" appears.
Good dramas are silent, bad dramas are silent, and the audience has no fault.
has fired two shots, but it just can't open the door to suspense dramas. Not to mention "Hurry", at least "The Storm" will be enough to enjoy.
Again and again, with this third release, I finally saw a little hope -
"The 19th Floor" debuted in Mango in a low-key manner to meet the audience. The suspenseful unlimited flow theme is full of high energy. Sure enough, 4 episodes were released on the first day, and it won an immediate win. Ranked first in the platform popularity list.
Will this drama work? What secrets are hidden under the 18 levels of hell?
Without further ado, the curtain has risen -
"The 19th Floor" is adapted from the novel "The 19th Floor of Hell", which has been adapted into a horror film. After watching the first four episodes of the drama version, I just want to say:
It's really scary!
In an underground secret room where he could not see his fingers, a ragged and unkempt man was running desperately.
"How did you get in?"
"They, they attacked her."
"Don't let her in!"
Where is this place, what are the identities of the two people talking, and who is the "she" they are talking about? Who and why can't she be let in?
has no answer, the main video begins.
A certain university is about to start its term. The heroine Chun Yu (Sun Qian) steps into the university campus for the first time. The horn sounds to urge students attending the opening ceremony to get on the bus, and a bus of people sets off.
Coincidentally, the cafeteria chef also took the school bus when he went to buy groceries.
Suddenly, a person appeared at the intersection, and the driver who was going to turn right quickly turned sharply to the left.
It was clear that he was about to be hit, but this man did not move at all. The heroine seemed to have discovered something the moment she looked at this man.
Does she know him?
doesn’t know him, but this morning, the heroine clearly saw this man on campus.
looked extremely slovenly, unshaven and with red eyes.
The most puzzling thing is that when the car hit him, this guy really didn't move, and he didn't have any emotions. He even seemed to be waiting for the car to hit him.
The camera turned and the heroine opened her eyes again and entered a confined space.
This seems to be an elevator, but the floor button only has a "19".
The panicked heroine had no choice but to press 19, and the elevator quickly descended.
What came into view was a secret room somewhere.
Several people in the car, plus male students in another car, gathered here wearing hospital gowns.
Some people think that they have died and gone to the underworld, while others think it is just a prank. The shadow puppet show started singing not far away, but as they sang, the shadow puppets turned into black mist, and the mist gradually spread and turned into monsters.
The thrilling part begins, and a "ghost chasing people" drama officially begins.
A group of college students, and a murderous demon, they have no time to react, so they are forced to use various methods to save their lives, and this is only the first episode.
"The 19th Floor" is an unlimited stream of horror and suspense dramas. It does not create a thrilling atmosphere at first glance, but relies solely on the plot to attract the audience.
At the same time, the special effects are also very realistic. I have to say that Mango has done a great job with the suspense theme this time.
As a small online drama, although the subject matter of "The 19th Floor" is suitable for young people, the cast does not enable full-streaming mode. The appearance of many powerful actors has improved the quality of the entire drama.
ranks first, Tao Hai.
The old man from the bottom of the lake in "Swordsman in the Snow", his acting style is always so relaxed.
In "The 19th Floor", he played the role of a canteen food buyer. Among a group of young people, his performance was too down-to-earth.
doesn't have many roles, but as the only elderly person in the protagonist, every scene of Tao Hai makes people deeply understand the drama. Moreover, the more ordinary, the stranger.
I dare say that there is definitely a hidden secret behind this character.
ranked second, Zhang Lei.
Who still remembers the innocent prince in "Bu Bu Jing Xin".
After so many years, Zhang Lei has actually appeared in many works, but most of them were supporting roles without much splash.
This is the doctor in the hospital where the protagonists woke up, but as soon as he opened his mouth, I felt something was not right. There must be more crucial scenes later.
The third place is Chen Chuang.
Although the subsequent characters are far less popular than "Howling Sky Dog".
However, in my opinion, his performance has completely removed the label of a highlight role.
In "The 19th Floor" Chen Chuang plays the heroine's father.
Abandoned his wife and children, leaving only one thing to look back on, and traveled far away for so many years.
After years of changes, his economic conditions have obviously improved, but his heart has become darker.
In his memory, there was at least some reluctance in his eyes, but more than ten years later, there was only a little remorse in his sinister triangular eyes, and this guy acted out all the changes in his attitude.
ranked fourth, Wei Zheming.
is worthy of being Hunan Satellite TV's "son". Although he is not considered a top-notch actor, he has "Brother Pi" before him and one after another with male protagonists.
In fact, at the age of 33, he is quiet and his acting skills are really good.
In his performance, I saw the details, the emotions that poured in instantly, the slightly twitching facial muscles, and the drama in his eyes.
's explosive crying scene shocked the audience.
The tears that fell uncontrollably, the mouth that couldn't be opened under the impact of huge grief, and the head that kept shaking, just this one paragraph was enough to arouse my interest in clicking on the entire drama.
fifth place, Sun Qian.
Sun Qianzhen is a breath of fresh air among 95 flowers. Even if she is the heroine, she has no airs and her acting style is very life-like.
Actually, I don’t have high expectations for her, but she handles all kinds of emotions very well. There are no highlights in the first four episodes, but she fully supports the configuration of the heroine.
In addition, there are also Wei Jing, Tian Li, Ge Si and other actors who are recognized for their acting skills who have not yet appeared. I can't wait for this wonderful show.
Conclusion
In my opinion, although "The 19th Floor" is not as explosive as "The Beginning", it is definitely a suspense work that young audiences will like.
unlimited streaming is not easy to shoot. It is difficult to shoot horror elements with a sense of technology. However, "19th Floor" has a very high degree of completion.
Looking at the back, I believe everyone has discovered that the setting in the play is just a game.
However, players who are offline in the game are either missing or comatose in the real world. They will have a more difficult road to break through later.
Human nature is tested at the critical moment of life. Are good brothers and sisters really so "good" when life and death are at stake?
Open your eyes, it’s a hospital.
There is nowhere to ask and no way to escape.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a secret room filled with danger.
is turned up as soon as it comes up. If you are not careful, you will die quietly.
real-life escape room, what is the truth behind it? Please stay tuned for the next plot of
's "19th Floor".
