Domestic film and television dramas, I haven’t seen such a rampant villain in a long time.
The appearance of a villain in a new drama gave Qingshi a huge shock. In the plot of
, they can be said to be so evil that there is no limit.
This group of people "dare" to throw alive people in residential areas;
In a certain residential building, the villain just threw a certain resident down without any care.
As a scream came, a person fell to death in front of his eyes...
This group of people "dare" to bury others alive on the spot;
In the plot, a young man was pushed into the pit by everyone. picture.
As the loess gradually covered the young people's heads, the visual shock of the living beings was also gradually increased.
This group of people also has a "hobby" of torturing the dead.
In a deep mountain and old forest, a human body hung from a tree appeared.
Judging from the height, the murderer deliberately chose a tall tree to hang the other person, which was quite suggestive of torture. In the voice-over of
, the murderer said in a boastful tone, "I am the one who killed the person", which highlighted the demon who cares about human life.
This drama with a brutal villain style is the new drama "The Unmentionable" that has just been launched by Fog Theater.
continues the "short and concise" characteristics of Mist Theater, with only 12 episodes in total. Although the collection of
's works is short, the cast is impressive.
The play invited Li Yitong , Liu Yijun , Zhang Guoqiang and others to participate in the show. The acting Liu Yijun almost "played his cards" and became the villain boss.
So, can Mist Theater, which has produced dramas such as "The Hidden Corner", surprise us this time?
Let’s talk about it based on the drama information.
01, 12 episodes, each episode is more exciting than the last
The first highlight of "The Unspeakable" is the sufficient amount of plot information.
Although there are only 12 episodes, the screenwriter has quite a lot of ideas. The main plot line of
unfolds in three timelines spanning 21 years.
In every timeline, there is at least one unsolved case.
The first case - the murder case on a rainy night;
On a rainy night in 1990, an employee of a supply and marketing cooperative was ambushed in his dormitory.
Three masked men in black used the darkness as cover and stabbed the employee to death without any explanation.
The motive of the three murders seemed to be to cover up a certain secret.
From the perspective of memories of Liu Qing (played by Liu Yijun) , the boss of a local company, it can be seen that he is related to this incident.
boldly guessed that Liu Qing should be one of the men in black.
The second case - the missing police case;
In 2005, 15 years after the rainy night silence case, veteran policeman Zheng Ying went undercover to investigate a certain case.
But before the mission was completed, the policeman mysteriously disappeared.
Judging from the plot information, Liu Qing is still involved in this matter.
Judging from his panicked sentence " There is a note (police), do it quickly", it seems that his secret was discovered by the old policeman.
The second unsolved case in which the clues were cut off seems to have happened from this.
The third case - the kidnapping of a girl;
At this time, the plot line moved back 6 years. In 2011, the kidnapping of a wealthy businessman's daughter attracted a lot of attention.
Many forces, including Liu Qing, also took action because the girl was kidnapped.
At the same time, this case also attracted the attention of Zheng Dongyu (played by Li Yitong), the daughter of the missing old police officer.
Having inherited her father's career as a police officer, she sensed a potential connection between the case and her father's disappearance, and joined the investigation...
Three seemingly unrelated unsolved cases not only triggered various bloodshed events, but also It also points to the secrets of the same group of people.
What exactly is this "hidden secret" that spans 21 years has become the core suspense point of the play.
And this story line supported by three major unsolved cases is quite informative.
02,
The four supporting characters "steal" the protagonist. Liu Yijun plays the ruthless character again after many years.
Another highlight of this drama is that the supporting cast is more interesting than the protagonist.
Judging from the starring configuration, the protagonists of the film are Ou Hao and Li Yitong.
Ou Hao plays the young policeman who continues the undercover investigation following the footsteps of his predecessors, while Li Yitong plays the female police officer investigating the disappearance of his father.
The entire main plot is expected to unfold from the investigative perspective of these two police officers.
In Qingshi's view, although Ou and Li are the protagonists of the play, there is a high probability of being "upstaged" this time.
After all, there are too many "strong men" in the supporting cast this time.
If you count, there are at least four;
is number one, Liu Yijun;
Strictly speaking, Liu Yijun is "only" the fourth male lead in this drama.
But judging from the video information of the play, Liu Yijun is the one most likely to "steal the scene".
After all, he has played a middle-aged family man in various Chinese dramas in recent years, and this time he finally returned to the track he is most familiar with.
In his early years, he became popular as a ruthless person in dramas such as "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Pretender". This time he played the "ruthless person" again.
In this drama, he plays the villain Liu Qing.
This character obviously has a sinister temperament from the inside out.
Although he didn't do anything personally in the camera, judging from the character's oppressive aura, he is undoubtedly the leader among the villains.
A soft "bury it", coupled with this gloomy face, such a combination, it is really a ruthless person who doesn't say much!
Liu Yijun is back on the ruthless track, and his performance this time is definitely worth looking forward to.
ranked second, Zhang Guoqiang;
is an acting school that has been active in the field of Chinese dramas in recent years.
In the recent popular CCTV drama "Harbin 1944", his role as underground worker Lao Qian received a lot of praise.
In this film "The Unspeakable", Zhang Guoqiang's character image has taken another big turn.
In the play, he plays Lei Naiwu, the boss of the villain camp.
is different from Liu Yijun's character. His character is very ruthless and outgoing.
The violent behavior of this character has appeared in the plots of different timelines.
Either hitting someone with an ashtray or using "waterboarding" to extract a confession. Behind every bloody scene, there is always the figure of this character.
Among the ruthless characters in the whole drama, Zhang Guoqiang is definitely one of them.
ranked third, Zhao Yang;
In the Chinese drama circle in recent years, Zhao Yang is definitely one of the most outstanding actors playing police officers. In
"The Silent Truth", he is "Ping Kang Baixue" who is not afraid of the powerful; in
"Police Honor", he becomes Cao Jianjun who uses his life to fulfill his bounden duty as a police officer.
But this time, Zhao Yang, as a "police professional", has reached his comfort zone again.
In "The Unspeakable", he plays Li Dengyuan, a policeman who has been hunting murders for many years.
Judging from the serious and deep style of the character, this is still a good policeman who hates evil as much as he hates it.
ranked fourth, Yang Jue;
In the movie "Feng Shen", Yang Jue received praise for his role as Boyikao.
The eight words "a humble gentleman, as gentle as jade" are almost the perfect definition of his image.
In this drama, Yang Jue still has the style of a gentle gentleman, but his character may change.
In the play, the character he plays is named Chen Jiadong.
Judging from the character's appearance, he seems to be an elegant and gentle man.
But judging from some subtle micro-expressions, it is obvious that the character design is more than just "gentle".
There is obviously a secret in his eyes, so this "gentleman" may need to be put in quotation marks.
Although there are only 12 people in total, there is definitely enough room for these four acting talents to show their talents.
Therefore, once the performances of the protagonists Ou Hao and Li Yitong are slightly weak, they are likely to be upstaged by these four supporting characters.
03,
The emotional drama of the protagonist is similar to that of "Hurry Up", which may be an unpredictable factor in stealing the scene.
Of course, Qingshi is still a little worried about this "Untold".
For example, the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists.
In the Chinese drama market, there are many examples of dramas with various themes being affected by emotional dramas.
There seems to be some hidden dangers in "The Untold".
In addition to the suspenseful main line of the 12 episodes, there is also an emotional line between the male and female protagonists.
In terms of setting, this is even somewhat similar to Li Yitong's previous hit drama "Crazy". In the drama
, they also play a "quasi-couple" under the police force system, with a sweet past between them.
From the perspective of emotional trajectories, the two characters are also somewhat similar to the male and female protagonists of "Cyclonus".
In the plot, the male protagonist played by Ou Hao reluctantly parted ways because of his mission and has not contacted the woman for many years. When
reunited, the conversation between the two was also full of infinite sadness.
The scene before this is just like An Xin and Meng Yu who are having trouble getting over each other in "Hurry".
In Qingshi’s view, there is nothing wrong with adding emotional drama to the main storyline. In the 39-episode "Hurry", the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists was brilliantly portrayed, and it did not affect the advancement of the main plot of the anti-crime plot.
However, considering that "The Unspeakable" only has 12 episodes, how handles the proportion of emotional scenes and prevents the male and female protagonists from taking the lead will also greatly affect the style of the drama.
I hope it can bring us surprises.
04. Mist Theater’s most prolific year, “The Untold” becomes the theater’s first hit in 2024
Mentioning “The Untold”, Qingshi also wanted to talk about the Mist Theater behind the play.
As the top suspense drama brand in the field of Chinese dramas, Mist Theater has been attracting attention from the audience since its launch in 2020.
But in Qingshi’s view, high popularity does not mean 100% high reputation.
At least, in the past few years, the reputation of Mist Theater has been mixed.
This can be roughly divided into three stages.
The first stage is the "peak at the beginning" of 2020;
In that year, the theater successively produced two 9-minute masterpieces including "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth".
released two drama king-level works in a row in the same year. Fog Theater had an amazing start, but it also invisibly raised the expectations of the outside world. The second stage of
is the "return to mediocrity" from 2021 to 2022; after
made a highlight operation in the first year, the state of the fog theater in the following two years was obviously not as good as before.
From 2021 to 2022, the theater invited a number of movie kings to launch 6 works in succession.
However, the overall reputation of these works is very average, and the highest score among the dramas is only 6.8 points...
Among them, Liao Fan and Duan Yihong two great actors starred in "Gold Rush" and "The Fog of the Octagonal Pavilion" respectively. 》Even the rating failed.
can’t even lead the best actor, the “bottleneck” of Fog Theater is really serious.
The third stage is the "polarization" in 2023;
Last year, the partial reputation of Mist Theater improved, but the overall performance was still unstable.
Whenever a popular drama is released and attracts the audience's expectations, the next drama will immediately slap the audience in the face and "drop points".
html In 21, Hai Qing's "Moses on the Plains " received favorable reviews, scoring an evaluation of 7.6 points.
But two months later, Fog Theater's next production, " Echoes " directed by Feng Xiaogang, received a failing grade again.
In April , the suspense drama "Thirteen Years of Ashes" starring Chen Jianbin sparked heated discussions again and became the first 8-point work of "Mist Theater" in three years.
But the next film, "The Bionic World", which focuses on science fiction suspense, lowered the reputation of Fog Theater with a barely passing score.
After experiencing three stages of twists and turns, 024’s Mist Theater has entered a new period of strength.
It is reported that this year’s Mist Theater is expected to launch 6 works.
The number of six productions a year is also the highest in the history of the theater.
And this "Untold" will serve as the vanguard, kicking off the 2024 Mist Theater.
Considering the cast and plot highlights, Qingshi has overall positive expectations for this new drama.
Overall, this drama has more highlights than hidden dangers and deserves our attention.
Here, I also hope that this suspense drama starring Liu Yijun can be the first shot of Fog Theater in 2024!
