" Qing Yu Nian 2" was a hit that completely blew up the TV drama market.
Not only has the weather begun to heat up rapidly and finally entered summer, but even TV dramas have begun to become lively. This drama on CCTV finally paid off.
In fact, despite the mediocre performance in the first half of the year, the upcoming dramas are about to be broadcast one after another.
Audiences love to watch the suspense market, and almost everyone in the powerful Mesozoic generation owns one.
For example, Sun Li 's "Above the Dark Clouds", Zhang Songwen 's "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow", and Zhang Yi "In the Name of the Law", etc. Any one of them will definitely cause a sensation on the entire Internet.
What people didn't expect is that "Celebrating More Than Years 2" has not finished broadcasting yet, Guo Qilin actually has a new drama coming up, and it will still meet the audience on CCTV -
"Once Upon a Time in Bianshui" is expected to be released on It will be released on Xingyangba in early June, and it may be a prime-time debut, and it will be broadcast exclusively on the whole network.
Such a suspense drama seems to be the configuration of an online drama. How can it win the favor of CCTV and even let "Qing Yu Nian 2" pave the way for it?
This time, let’s take a look at the little-known past events of Bianshui -
Since it can gain a lot of popularity, the production team should not be underestimated.
"Once Upon a Time on the Bianshui" only has 16 episodes. In order to firmly capture the audience's attention with such a small volume, the director's skill is particularly important.
The director of the show is Suan Shu, who kicked open the door to the suspense genre and created the hit "The Beginning". As expected, the smaller the length, the better the test of skill.
At the same time, this work is also escorted by Cao Baoping, jumping from the ceiling of a suspense movie to a short play, which is definitely a blockbuster-level quality.
After all, " Crossing the Angry Sea ", " Li Mi's Conjecture ", " The Sun Burns the Heart ", even if the plot is placed in a TV series, it will definitely refresh the audience's understanding.
And "Bianshui Past" is a brand new attempt made by Cao Baoping. The male protagonist Shen Xing (played by Guo Qilin) of
was deceived into Myanmar and found that there was no way to return home. He had no choice but to stay in Myanmar and work, and the place where he worked was Sanbianpo.
This is a tropical area. The economy seems to be very prosperous, but in other aspects it is extremely declining. Shen Xing lives on thin ice here, and then meets Uncle Guai ( Wu Zhenyu ).
Uncle Cai traveled among various forces in Sanbipo and was also a famous peacemaker. When Shen Xing met Uncle Cai, their lives changed drastically.
In fact, border themes are more common in movies. Such works often involve large-scale dramas, covering almost all criminal techniques, as well as cruel killing methods.
The one that everyone is most familiar with is definitely the drug trade.
The male protagonist will most likely be a policeman. His brother or father may have died and he inherited the police number. In the end, he got the stolen goods and defeated the criminal gang.
was also deceived and kidnapped and became a free labor force.
Needless to say, ", all or nothing, " was a box office hit. Even if it didn't have any A-listers or top-rated characters, it could be sustained by its plot alone. It was a phenomenon-level hit that ignited the entire summer vacation.
And "Once Upon a Time on the Bianshui" must also have sexy and exciting scenes, especially Cao Baoping's favorite explicit and sharp scenes, which is why he was able to pass the review of radio and television and caught the attention of CCTV.
As for what past events are waiting for the audience to discover, we still have to wait for the feature film to come.
Whether it is director Suan or Cao Baoping, there is no need to worry about their vision and methods of casting.
However, the pairing of Wu Zhenyu and Guo Qilin in "The Past" really confused me.
Let’s talk about Wu Zhenyu first.
Needless to say, after all, he is over 60 years old. Even if he has been acting for so many years, he can become popular even if he participates in variety shows, not to mention his level. '
And Wu Zhenyu is indeed quite suitable for the role of "Uncle Guess".
He can always perform the two states of the characters quietly.
In the identity of He Shilao, the audience can clearly feel the "kindness" displayed by Wu Zhenyu.
But is this really the case?
Wu Zhenyu can play the role of Uncle Guess, and even exudes the two qualities of "integrity" and "coward" in his eyes.
Although there were no lines in the trailer, he showed the characteristics of the character to the audience as soon as he appeared on the screen.
But in fact, can one be as straightforward and frank as Wu Zhenyu behaves in this land?
is almost impossible in my opinion. As the second male lead in the whole drama, the director will definitely arrange more highlight scenes for him.
Moreover, Wu Zhenyu’s forbearing performance, once the other side breaks out, the contrast between the before and after will be even stronger, and it will not be a problem to set off the climax of the whole drama.
The second person I want to talk about is of course Guo Qilin.
Guo Qilin's resources have been really strong in the past two years. From the "Celebrating More Than Years" series to "The Son-in-law", the CCTV drama "The Ordinary Road", plus the movies with Yu Hewei and Jackie Chan, this is simply a rhythm that is going to heaven. .
Facts have proved that Guo Qilin's acting skills are really something.
's performance in "Qing Yu Nian 2" is more effortless, the jokes can be turned out easily, and there is no pressure to play with other people.
The role of Shen Xing in "Once Upon a Time in Bianshui" is a big challenge for Guo Qilin. Although
will definitely have some laughs, it is more about shaping the little character himself, with more suspense than comedy. This may be regarded as the first step in his true transformation.
However, judging from the shots flashed in the trailer, Guo Qilin's performance is quite good.
As an ordinary migrant worker, Shen Xing is just one of the little people. Guo Qilin does not need any image baggage, and also forms a visual contrast with other big guys. The male protagonist without a halo is a bit novel.
In addition, many powerful actors such as Wang Xun, You Yongzhi, Qi Xi and Jiang Qiming have joined the cast. I am looking forward to what big moves Cao Baoping will make this time!
Conclusion
In my opinion, "Bianshui Past" will most likely become a breath of fresh air in the suspense market.
Audiences have never seen border themes. Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar and Thailand have always appeared on the big screen. However, starting from the characters themselves and showing the customs through stories rather than using culture as embellishment, for suspense dramas This is a real plus.
Moreover, it breaks away from the common criminal investigation themes. This kind of dual male protagonists does not have a black and white duel. It breaks the routine and is still grounded. I think this is another treasure.
It seems that Guo Qilin has become the top star among the 95 niches. His TV series and movie resources have all skyrocketed. Even if he is paired with a group of talented actors in "Qing Yu Nian 2", he can still stand out.
If "Bianshui Past" can stand up, it will be unbeatable on this track.
I wonder if you are looking forward to the arrival of "Bianshui Past"?
