2024 domestic suspense drama, lively and deserted.
said it was lively because all new dramas, suspense dramas and suspense dramas are still attracting continuous bets from all parties.
said it was deserted because several major suspense dramas this year, such as "Hunting Ice " and "Dark Fire", received unsatisfactory reviews.
Although the recently concluded films "Rebirth" and "The Unspeakable" each have their own strengths, they are still far from being hits.
2024 The leading roles in domestic dramas range from period dramas such as "North and South" to spy war dramas such as "The Storm Chaser" to costume dramas such as "Celebrating More Than Years 2".
suspense drama, how long has it been since there was a real hit?
Don’t worry, CCTV is taking action.
has reported that "Once Upon a Time in the Bianshui" will be released on CCTV in early June and will be broadcast simultaneously on Youku. It has a strong lineup and amazing quality. Even before it is released, it already has the familiar hardcore atmosphere of a suspense drama.
Produced by Cao Baoping, an adventure of human nature and survival
The story of "Bianshui Past" takes place on the three slopes of a small tropical border town, where fish and dragons are mixed, and black trade is rampant. It is a mottled place where prosperity and decay coexist.
Shen Xing (played by Guo Qilin) is a working novice who accidentally ends up here. He meets Uncle Guai (played by Wu Zhenyu), a peacemaker who travels among various forces.
In my opinion, "Once Upon a Time on the Bianshui" has three major highlights that can attract the audience's attention the most -
The first major highlight: the fresh and natural tropical environment.
Compared with other dark suspense dramas, "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water" is a drama about three slopes in a tropical exotic land. The trailer takes the audience to appreciate the magnificent scenery of the exotic land.
Under the magnificent decoration, Shen Xing looked at the luxurious environment around him and unconsciously showed surprise.
Uncle Guai’s gesture of greeting with his hands together also tells the audience that welcome to the foreign “kingdom”.
It is in such a beautiful border town that the story of "Bianshui Past" begins.
The second highlight: the thrilling storyline.
One is a working novice who accidentally ends up here, and the other is a peacemaker who wanders between various forces. When these two people meet, they start a suspenseful story about human nature. In the trailer of
, Uncle Guai was sitting at the dining table watching the performance on the stage with a kind expression.
The next second, I stood in the jungle, with my hands in my pockets, wondering what I was thinking.
Shen Xing, who had just arrived and didn't understand anything, looked at Uncle Guai who was chatting with him friendly and shaking hands in front of him, hesitantly and finally chose to believe it.
But the next second, Shen Xing was behind bars, locked in an iron cage by someone unknown. He opened his eyes and looked up, filled with disbelief. He didn't know that he saw something that subverted his three views.
Immediately afterwards, there was a great escape at the speed of life and death, and Shen Xing almost ran out of the afterimage.
The screen advanced very quickly, and Uncle Guai raised his gun with a firm look in his eyes. With a "bang", the screen immediately switched, and someone's car exploded directly, sending smoke everywhere.
Murders, shootings, and explosions, "Once Upon a Time in Bianshui" is definitely a tough dish of domestic suspense, because it is ruthless enough.
Every frame of the picture teases the audience's nerves. The scale is amazing, and the picture quality is also very good. It's like watching a big-budget movie. It's so enjoyable. The third highlight of
: a strong creative lineup.
screenwriter Lao Suan was nominated for the Magnolia Best Screenplay Award for his time loop-themed suspense drama " begins ". In addition, he participated in the production of "Madhouse" and "The Cloud" and achieved good results.
Producer Cao Baoping is even more famous. His films such as " Dog Thirteen", " Burning Hearts", " Crossing the Angry Sea", etc. have impressed the audience deeply. There are countless excellent works. Strong.
These two powerful celebrities have joined forces to stabilize the quality of "Bianshui Past".
From the picture quality to the production team, "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water" reveals the atmosphere of a hit. The ups and downs of the storyline and the thrilling scenes make the audience's blood boil, and the actors are the key to the attraction.

As we all know, suspense dramas are the most test of actors’ acting skills. In addition to fitting the character's temperament, it is also very important to be able to bring the audience into a suspenseful atmosphere. The new drama "Once Upon a Time on the Bianshui" is obviously full of sincerity.
ranked first, Wu Zhenyu.
Audiences should be familiar with the powerful Mesozoic actor Wu Zhenyu. His acting skills are beyond doubt and have been shown in dramas such as "Infernal Affairs", "Brothers and Brothers", and " Rush to the Sky ".
As the Golden Horse Award winner, Wu Zhenyu is quite powerful.
In the new drama "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water", Francis Ng plays Uncle Guai, whose identity is a mystery. In the trailer, he is not angry and has a strong aura, and he seems to decide a person's life or death with a casual finger.
's eyes are indifferent, and the corners of his mouth seem to be smiling. This character looks both good and evil. It is given to Wu Zhenyu to play the role. The director has a good vision.
ranked second, Guo Qilin.
New-generation actor Guo Qilin has become popular in the entertainment industry in recent years. He has contributed outstanding acting skills in "Celebrating More Than Years ", "Sister-in-law" and "The Ordinary Road". In the hit "Qing Yu Nian 2", Guo Qilin's acting skills are also remarkable.
In the new drama "Once Upon a Time in Bianshui", Guo Qilin plays the role of Shen Xing. In the trailer, he is kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, his eyes looking up in horror. You can feel the panic in the character through the screen.
Guo Qilin is good at comedy roles and his performances are very smart. In this suspense drama, he seems to be reborn without any funny actions. He seems to be performing well. I look forward to Guo Qilin's wonderful performance in the feature film.
ranked third, Jiang Qiming.
Jiang Qiming is really going to be cast in a suspense drama. As early as " The Long Season ", the audience saw his outstanding acting skills.
Jiang Qiming also contributed outstanding performances in dramas such as "Harbin 1944" and "My Altay" broadcast this year.
In the new drama "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water", Jiang Qiming plays the role of Wang An'an. I don't know whether this character is a decent or a villain, but with Jiang Qiming's strong acting skills, I am more likely to be a villain. After all, he is really cool in playing the villain. Feeling.
ranked fourth, You Yongzhi.
Veteran drama star You Yongzhi can be said to be a golden supporting role in the Chinese drama market with both virtue and art. He has appeared in film and television dramas such as "A World Without Thieves", "Mountains and Seas", " County Party Committee Courtyard ".
has joined the new drama "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water" this time. Although I don't know what kind of role You Yongzhi will play, his acting skills are absolutely stable.

Wang Xun is also an old acquaintance of the audience. In dramas such as "Kite", "The Secret Fragrance Comes", "South and North" and other dramas, Wang Xun's performances are quite brilliant. This time I am starring in the suspense drama "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water", I guess I don't have to worry about my acting skills.
In addition, Qi Xi, Liu Yang, Guo Jinhao, Xin Haojiang and other powerful actors will play important roles in "Once Upon a Time on the Bianshui". This group portrait is so exciting.
Conclusion
The most obvious overturn of Chinese dramas in recent years is undoubtedly the fall of suspense dramas from the altar.
Several suspense dramas such as "The Hidden Corner" have become hits one after another, raising the audience's expectations infinitely higher.
It is a pity that the following domestic suspense dramas have gradually fallen into a certain creative bottleneck. The plots are not innovative, the acting is mediocre, and the expected hits are hitting the market one after another. Even the ones with good ratings often start high but then fall short.
Could it be that suspense dramas can no longer come up with new ideas?
"Bianshui Past" gives the answer.
From the trailer, you can see the movie-level quality of the drama, the editing is clean and neat, and the fighting is not sloppy.
The most important thing is that the outstanding performances of the talented actors give people an immersive look and feel.
With the advantages of a suspenseful plot and rich characterization, this information-packed "Once Upon a Time in Bianshui" is highly watchable for viewers of suspense dramas.
Murder, threats, chases, transactions, constant suspense, superb acting skills, not low standards, in one word, great!
All in all, "Once Upon a Time on the Border" has already shown the quality of a "drama king" before it even started airing. It has a solid script, an online atmosphere, and a high-quality production team to create a thrilling story of border arrests. It is so eye-catching.
So are you looking forward to the broadcast of this drama?
