would like to ask, in the current drama market, what type of drama is the most popular?
I think there is no more appropriate answer than a suspense drama.
From the classic " Black Hole " and "Conquest" to the recent years of " The Long Season " and " Three Body ", suspense-themed dramas can always firmly capture the audience's attention.
This year, suspense dramas are emerging one after another.
's just-concluded " misplaced ", although not very popular, scored a high score of 7.3 on Douban, which shows the audience's pursuit of this theme.
This has made many upcoming dramas ready to be aired.
Among them, Guo Jingfei has many criminal investigation suspense dramas such as "Yellow Bird" and "The Imperative", and "Above the Dark Clouds" starring Qingyi Sun Li is also gaining momentum.
However, before the above-mentioned new dramas were confirmed, another ruthless drama was the first to receive good news.
8 episodes of the criminal investigation suspense drama " suspense " have recently been reviewed and certified, and will be broadcast on Goose Factory in the near future.Just by looking at the quality of the trailer and the cast, the audience can see how powerful the show is in hitting the suspense ceiling. What are the highlights? Let’s find out today.
The setting is novel and the plot is chewy
The story of "Hanging Mirror" begins with a corpse dismemberment case. In order to investigate the truth of the case, Xu Xiao (played by Simon Yam) and Lin Guoqiang (played by Zhu Yuchen), two people with very different personalities, handle the case. Police officers with completely different styles come together.
As clues to the case were gradually discovered, Xu Xiao and Lin Guoqiang discovered that the case of dismemberment was actually related to some ancient evil ritual for the purpose of immortality.
The focus of a suspense drama is the plot, and the drama has two major highlights in the plot that whetted my appetite.
First, the Chinese horror behind the mutilated corpse case.
Corpse case and Chinese horror, the two are quite incompatible no matter how you look at them. However, the new drama is combined together. But don’t tell me, the visual stimulation brought by this suspense effect is too strong.
The case is complicated and confusing. The trailer showed the audience a car accident. Immediately afterwards, the police found a bag of broken corpses in a fallen vehicle in a pond.
On the way to track down the real murderer, the police did not go around the city questioning witnesses. Instead, they came to the silent and eerie sewer pipes.
At the same time, in the strange secret room, a man was slowly stepping into the ornately decorated coffin.
The mysterious mural, the "voluntary" girl sacrifice, and the less than two-minute trailer made my scalp tingle and the hairs on my hair stand on end.
In criminal investigation dramas, corpse dismemberment and disappearance cases are not uncommon, but the setting related to the ancient evil ritual of immortality is too novel.
The battle between good and evil, the pull between atheism and theism, is obviously a hook deliberately planted for the audience to arouse everyone's appetite.
Second, two male protagonists investigate the case.
In the past two years, the collision between the dual male protagonist setting of an old man and a young man and the suspense drama has always made the audience shine.
On the one hand, there is always friction between the old and young combinations with different personalities. The storyline of not being indifferent to each other and becoming both teachers and friends has been a tried and true success for the audience.
On the other hand, the setting of two male protagonists greatly alleviates the embarrassing scene of adding emotional lines in suspense dramas.
While the plot is thrilling and thrilling, the surge of male hormones fills the suspenseful atmosphere, which can bring the story more excitement and excitement.
And judging from the trailer, the scale of the drama is not small. In addition to the Chinese suspense full of weird atmosphere, the quality of every frame of murder, dismemberment, and ancient rituals is not inferior to that of the movie.
It’s so exciting. This new drama will definitely take the suspense genre to a new peak!
powerful actors have joined, so you don’t have to worry about their acting skills.
Suspense dramas have extremely high requirements on actors’ acting skills. Looking at the cast list, it can be said that the acting content of "The Hanging Mirror" exceeds the standard. Regardless of the starring role or the supporting role, they are all worth looking forward to.
ranked first, Liu Lin .
As the uncrowned king of TV dramas, there is no doubt about Liu Lin’s acting skills. Some viewers may be worried. Is it possible for Liu Lin, who has never been in period dramas, to participate in a suspense drama?
is great.
Liu Lin plays two roles in "The Bionic World", switching smoothly between flesh-and-blood ordinary people and cold robots. Her superb acting skills are amazing.
In the new drama, Liu Lin looks up in plain clothes, with compassionate eyes and innocent expression. There is a bit of sinisterness hidden in her expression. It seems that this character hides many secrets.
I can’t imagine how amazing Liu Lin’s acting skills will be after the feature film is released?
With Liu Lin here, the reputation of "Xuanjing" has been stabilized.
ranks second, Li Guangjie .
The powerful Li Guangjie has been the "golden seed" of dramas in recent years. In the "大江大河" trilogy, "Wind Blowing Pinellia" and other dramas, Li Guangjie has proven his strong strength to the audience.
In the new drama, Li Guangjie is neatly dressed in a white police uniform, with an unruly and impatient expression. It seems that this character has a lot of authority.
With Li Guangjie’s strength, there is something good to be done now.
ranked third, Liu Jinshan.
The joining of national first-class actor Liu Jinshan is such a surprise. In
's new drama, the veteran actor appeared in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a gangster.
In the trailer, he is holding a huge candle, with a respectful expression and firm eyes. Behind him lies a person whose life or death is unknown. It seems that the veteran actor is in the villain camp, and he is looking forward to it.
ranked fourth, Hong Jiantao.
is another national first-class actor!
Hong Jiantao has given wonderful performances in classic dramas such as "Six Serious Cases", "The Story of the Cooking Class", and "The Criminal Officer of the Song Dynasty".
In the new drama, the veteran actor sits on the ground with a sad expression, as if he has fallen into some kind of low point in life. One look in his eyes is full of a sense of story, and he is looking forward to his famous scene.
fifth place, Sun Hao.
is another powerful person!
Sun Hao's role as Hu Xiaowei in " anti-crime storm " is impressive. In the trailer of
's new drama, he looks like an ordinary little person, but his expression is solemn, as if he is afraid of being exposed. The mystery of the character is vividly played.
Some people just stand there and make a show, and Sun Hao will obviously become the highlight of the whole drama.
At the same time, Ren Dahua, Zhu Yuchen, Huang Yi and other powerful actors will play important roles in the drama. With so many acting talents joining the cast, there is no need to worry about the characters being unable to stand up. I am afraid that there are too many famous scenes and the audience will not be able to watch them. But come.
Conclusion
Judging from the current Chinese drama market, works with criminal investigation + suspense themes are definitely a hot commodity.
At the same time, criminal investigation and suspense themes have always been a genre with a high ceiling. As long as the lineup is reliable and the filming is above the standard, the ratings will not be bad.
Once the quality is high, the reputation will soar like "The Silent Truth", "The Long Season", etc. back then. Even it is not difficult to achieve both popularity and word-of-mouth like "Horse".
Is there any chance for "Xuanjing"? I think the series has this strength.
The plot of the play is based on the era and traditional culture. It tells a novel story about immortality. The plot is full of atmosphere, and the setting of the two male protagonists adds to the tension.
At the same time, the show has Liu Lin and many other talented actors joining the cast, and their acting skills are absolutely masterful and unmistakable.
believes that as long as the drama is aired successfully, it will win the first prize in one fell swoop and become a hit suspense drama!
