On April 20, the TV series " My Years in the Northeast " was launched on Tencent Video in episode 5. This TV series has a total of 24 episodes, and the plot length of a single episode is 10 minutes. It is a micro-short drama. This kind of TV series can be watched in ten or twenty minutes, and it falls into the category of a more typical dinner drama. This drama, on the other hand, is short, quick, and full of thrillers, and you can watch it.
The play is a story in 4 episodes. This story is a full plot of 30 minutes. Taking half an hour to tell a thrilling story related to Bai Shier is indeed more suitable for audiences with heavy tastes. We might as well take a look at the first story at the beginning of the play, whether it is scary enough. As soon as
came up, it told everyone about a paper wife. By the way, there is a legend in the Northeast that if you walk alone in the middle of the night and encounter a crowd, it may be a ghost. At this time, once you see the eyes of a ghost, you will be haunted by ghosts, especially if you meet a female ghost, you will only have strange things like a paper wife. Obviously, this legend does have a market in the Northeast. In the early years of the Northeast, the land was vast and sparsely populated, making it easy for evil people to appear. Therefore, fooling everyone with such ghostly things also avoids unnecessary trouble on the road at night.
In the story of "My Years of Living in the Northeast", a poor man met a ghost and got married while walking at night. Then, the man saw the eyes of the ghost bride. Therefore, he was fascinated by the ghost bride, so he carried the paper bride home and got married. A poor boy married a paper bride, and for a while, word spread in the village that it became a matter of feudal superstition.
Actually, the play is still relatively realistic up to this point. It is so easy to understand that a bachelor who has been unable to marry a wife for half his life has lost his mind. How pitiful are the poor boys? After watching this TV series, everyone should "feel the same". Of course, the play does not stop there, and the following story is even more exciting. The paper bride will eventually kill the poor boy, so how can a ghost marry someone? Therefore, the poor boy died inexplicably.
The master and the apprentice were the ones doing the useless things. The master is very knowledgeable, and the apprentice is the male protagonist of the play. The ancients said that only when men and women work together can they work without getting tired. Therefore, this TV series also paired the male protagonist with a female protagonist. The heroine is an investigative reporter who specializes in reporting on heretical things and exposing the truth. The two of them come together, and the suspenseful and thrilling story continues to unfold.
The heroine is educated in modern science, and of course she doesn’t believe in the nonsense about paper brides. Therefore, in cooperation with the male protagonist, they gradually get closer to the truth. At this moment, the poor boy's mother is also being violated by the paper bride. In the plot, the paper bride did not leave because of the death of the poor boy. Instead, it targeted the poor boy's mother. Is this paper bride the previous paper bride, and is the paper bride a ghost?
The male protagonist is obviously doing nothing, but he is always doing criminal investigation work. After peeling off the cocoon, the male protagonist discovered that the cause of death of the poor boy was strange. For example, he actually saved a lot of silver dollars. For another example, he actually bought a lot of things for women and so on. Is the paper bride seen by the whole village the real paper bride? There must be a lot of twists and turns here.
Of course, when it comes to the reveal of this story, some viewers may find it unsatisfactory. I won’t give any spoilers here. This kind of thrilling and suspenseful story is presented in the form of a short drama. If it can be roughly self-explanatory, it is considered good, but it cannot be forced to be comprehensive. After reading this story, at least the audience will smack their lips and know that during the Guandong period, the security in the Northeast was indeed quite poor.
Based on the first story of this TV series, I think this TV series is still worth watching. It should have the miraculous effect of soybean curd with rice with heavy flavors. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
