short play turned out to make a series of high-quality scripts and actors known to the public. But a truly successful short drama is not just a collection of clichés and bad jokes. Wang Zha's short drama "Hard to Find", which was launched on the Mango platform, achieved a huge number of views in just 18 episodes.
At present, the playback volume of "Hard to Find" has exceeded 300 million, and the popularity of Maoyan short dramas is rising. Behind the excellent market results is the sincerity of the short dramas that make people convinced. The
short drama "Hard to Find" tells the fateful oriental love story between Princess Yongzhao Feng Yuan (played by Shen Yujie) and the young master of Linchuan, He Lianxi.
Testing, pulling, and redeeming, the pair of protagonists become more and more obsessed with each other.
The main plot of "Hard to Find" is actually the male protagonist's career line of restoring the country. As the only young master of Linchuan, He Lianxi has to shoulder the burden for the sake of restoring the country and his people. The hatred of the country and the family is only to find Feng Yuan, his wife who betrayed him.
Three years later, he reunited with his wife who had lost her memory. You thought it was another drama where the love-minded hero disregarded his identity and fell in love to death, but in fact, He Lianxi met the amnesiac Feng Yuan again and did not take the opportunity to "steal sex" Selfishly, he only plays straight ball and awakens the memory of the heroine. As long as she recalls where Lian Lizhi is, she will take on the mission of saving her people.
She has an unforgettable hatred for the heroine, but she also has a clear and rational upbringing. The reunion between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is full of a sense of mutual testing. He suppresses his emotions, secretly investigates the details of the past, and gradually becomes a pure love god of war in the ultimate sadomasochistic emotional line.
Marriage first and love later is not the end of the story. The triangle relationship makes the audience unable to make a choice, which makes the audience feel full of fate.
After the heroine lost her memory, it was the second male lead who held her in the palm of his hand and treated the heroine wholeheartedly regardless of the opposition of his family. Although the heroine's feelings for the male lead are more of a repayment of gratitude, and although the relationship between the two is destined to be, in three years, they are just one step away from becoming husband and wife, which makes the couple's pull feel full. Arrests.
In these characters, there is the fearlessness and bravery of going crazy for love, but they also have the sanity to think before and after and fight against reality.
While the main character CP is extremely in love with her newlyweds, the fate of the heroine and the second hero that is just one step away from blossoming into fruition is also heart-breaking.
Moreover, with the trend of short dramas starting to talk about love, is "Hard to Find" really telling the story about the true story of genocide? Why did the heroine lose her memory? Where did Lian Lizhi go? These doubts can only be answered by watching the drama, so this short drama starts with suspense and piques the audience's interest immediately.
Just right character creation, aesthetic quality of online movies
Although the short dramas are good, watching too many short dramas will really lead to aesthetic fatigue. Too many short dramas are just a forced patchwork of bloody plots. As for persuasion, filter aesthetics, and roughness The land is not as big as the cheap network.
But this "Hard to Find" is comfortable for the eyes, from the casting to the picture quality.
Zhao Yiqin, who plays the male lead, is a handsome guy born in 1997. Although he is not a big hit, his appearance and acting skills are outstanding. In the play, his ancient costume is full of heroic spirit, and his heavy-duty costumes work hard to fit the hatred-bearing character in the character setting, and the director's use of light and shadow fully enhances the charm of the male protagonist from the beginning.
Especially the night-time fight scene at the beginning, the movements are smooth, the lighting is just right, the male protagonist with half his face buried in the shadow, the eyes are cruel and ruthless, the character is crazy and cold and even murderous, which instantly arouses the audience's excitement. Adrenaline.
As for Shen Yujie, who portrays the heroine, she is a perfect temperament beauty. Her facial features are bright and majestic, and her temperament cannot conceal her elegant and ancient charm. The moment she appears on the screen, Shen Yujie's whiteness and gentleness make the relationship between the character and the male protagonist. The strong contrast creates two extremes. As peaceful and beautiful as she is in the picture, the pull between the characters is so heart-wrenching.
To be honest, the looks of actors Zhao Yiqin and Shen Yujie alone are enough to outshine the ugly men and ugly women in costumes in many big productions in the past two years.
Audiences will not only find it eye-catching when they see such a combination of good-looking actors, but also feel fresh because of their relatively unfamiliar newcomers' physiques.
The actor's outstanding appearance is the key to the audience's willingness to stay, but to be able to capture the actor's beauty and capture the sense of fate in the plot requires the director's aesthetics.
Although the drama "Hard to Find" is positioned as a short drama, many scenes have a movie-level texture. The murderous spirit of the male protagonist when he takes revenge, the loneliness of being alone, and the scene when he meets the female protagonist wearing a mesh mask in the crowd are all so beautiful that the audience's heart skips a beat.
The slow motion in other dramas is to prolong the time and concave the atmosphere, but the slow motion in the drama "Hard to Find" allows the audience to enjoy a visual feast every second. A work like
, which is full of sincerity from the front to the back, is well deserved for its popularity in the industry.
At present, "Hard to Find" is still popular, and the increasingly exciting plot has also attracted more viewers. And with the quality of this show, it’s only a matter of time before it starts high and goes high.
Finally, I hope that the short drama market will have more sincere and conscientious productions like "Hard to Find".
