If there is one type of drama in the domestic drama market that audiences can never tire of, it must be suspense dramas.
's exciting plot, riveting reasoning, and unexpected twists all leave the audience wanting more. Well-known classics such as
, " The Long Season " and "The Silent Truth" are all works that people can recall to this day.
And this summer, "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" broke the curse of sequels and gained great popularity and reputation, which also made the audience's enthusiasm for domestic suspense dramas even further.
However, the "Confessions of the Night" starring Pan Yueming is still far away, and there is no news about "Above the Dark Clouds" starring Sun Li .
There is also a suspense drama " Bianshui Past Events " is now on the air.
This drama was launched in a low-key manner. I thought it was not interesting, but I didn’t expect that it would explode in word-of-mouth and receive rave reviews.
has been updated in one breath. The plot is progressing rapidly, the actors’ acting skills are online, and the suspenseful atmosphere is strong. This time "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" has a rival.
01The plot is high-energy and the atmosphere is strange
"The Past in Bianshui" tells the story of Shen Xing (Guo Qilin), a young man who lives on the slopes of Sanbiang. After several twists and turns, he becomes a boss of Bianshui, Uncle Guai ( Wu Zhenyu). driver.
But in Sanbipo, a dangerous place, Shen Xing had to participate in an adventure that cost his life.
Sanbianpo in the drama is a fictitious place name, but it is not difficult to see that the setting of this place is similar to some areas in Southeast Asia. The unique exotic style shrouds the entire drama in a strange atmosphere. .
Against this background, there are two highlights in the play that attracted my attention.
Highlight 1: The scale is quite large.
Suspense dramas usually involve scale issues, which is also a major attraction for audiences. Those excellent suspense dramas all have one characteristic in common, which is "dare to shoot".
This suspense drama with an imaginary background is even more impressive than other dramas of the same type.
There is one scene in the play that is the most impressive. Shen Xing witnesses Ang Tun murdering someone. The bullet passes through his head and blood splashes on the car body. Shen Xing's horrified face is revealed on the blood-stained glass. The man who fell to the ground is dead. The situation is tragic.
The picture of just tens of seconds gives people a strong visual impact.
In addition to such pictures, the scale of the plot lies in the content.
Loan sharking, drugs, smuggling, guns, and stone gambling are shocking scenes that only you can imagine, and they can't be photographed without them.
It can be seen that the scale of this drama is really extraordinary.
Highlight 2: The character is different.
In general suspense dramas, even if the protagonist is not a policeman, he is still a person with a smart mind and outstanding vision. However, the male protagonist in this drama completely subverts the general male protagonist's personality.
Shen Xing in the play was originally a young man who had just entered society. When he came to Sanbiangpo, a place where everyone was mixed, he looked even more "naive".
He still behaves kindly after suffering losses many times, and he looks a bit like a good person.
However, the simple Shen Xing is like a mirror in the play, reflecting the sinisterness of other people.
Those seemingly kind people in the play have particularly dark hearts under the surface. It is impossible to have any compassion at all. They are all slaves of interests.
In addition to the setting of the male protagonist, the setting of the "villain" in the play is also extraordinary.
Uncle Guai in the play is not a villain who does all kinds of evil in the general sense. He wanders among various forces, both good and evil.
The settings of the male protagonist and the villain are very different, but they are very harmonious in this background.
02The actors are strong
In a suspense drama, if the plot is a cover-up, then it is the actors who decide the upper limit. This drama is unambiguous in its casting, and there are many talented actors everywhere.
ranked first, Wu Zhenyu.
Veteran Hong Kong star Ng Chun-yu is very familiar with suspense and crime-themed film and television dramas. This subject matter is perfect for his acting style.
In the new drama, Wu Zhenyu plays Uncle Guai, a businessman on the edge of Sanbiangpo. This kind of boss character is so suitable for him to play. Even if he doesn't say a word, he feels oppressive.
In the play, he said with a smile that Ang Tun mixed the wine with water. Those who didn't know thought he was talking about a happy event.
But his expression changed in the next second, and he couldn't see the smile just now. Although his face was expressionless, the pressure he put on the other party with his straight eyes was suffocating.
Wu Zhenyu's acting skills are simply the finishing touch in this drama.
is second, Wang Xun .
Wang Xun's acting skills have always been quite solid. Wang Guofu in "South and North" and Zhuang Zhengzheng in "The Annual Party Can't Stop" were both brought to life by Wang Xun.
In the new drama, he plays Wu Haishan, a well-known mine owner. When he first appeared on the scene, he gave people the impression of being calm, approachable and fair.
However, when he was irritable and angry, when he saw Shen Xing waking up, the expression on his face instantly froze, and his eyes suddenly became cruel and vigilant.
And this person is far scarier than imagined. When he heard the detonator explode, he knew clearly that someone was killed, but he still stood there with a calm expression and was even eating.
Wang Xun grasped the characteristics of the character Wu Haishan quite accurately.
is third, Guo Qilin.
In the past, Guo Qilin left the audience with the impression that he was a comedian in "Celebrating More Than Years" and "The Son-in-Law". This is his first appearance in a suspense drama.
In this drama, Guo Qilin plays Shen Xing, who is smart, kind, but stubborn.
In the play, Shen Xing, who has just arrived at Sanbipo, still has curiosity about this place in his eyes, and his face is full of indifference.
But after he witnessed the murder scene with his own eyes, he stumbled out of the car and was trembling with fear when the gun was pointed at him. He had tears in his eyes and could not suppress the expression of horror on his face.
Guo Qilin’s performance in this drama is remarkable.
is fourth, Jiang Qiming .
Jiang Qiming seems to have trouble getting along with characters like "ruffians", and he is the best on this track. In
's new drama, Jiang Qiming plays Wang An'an, a street gangster who buys and sells goods.
As soon as Wang An'an appeared in the play, people were instantly reminded of Gao Xiaoliang in "My Altay".
It seemed that he was listening to the person speaking seriously, but the way he stared at the person seemed to be thinking about whether he could take advantage.
This shrewd character was brought to life by Jiang Qiming.
In addition, there are also actors such as Zhao Jun, Qi Xi, You Yongzhi, etc. joining the cast. A group of acting talents perform on the same stage. With such a lineup, there is no need to worry about the upper limit of this drama.
03 Conclusion
The reason why "Bianshui Past" has received a lot of praise lies in these two points.
First of all, it is a novel plot setting. In this drama, from the story background to the character settings to the scale of the plot, the unfamiliar environment and novel perspectives make the entire drama more able to satisfy the audience's curiosity.
The second is the superb acting skills of the actors. The characters in this drama are very complex, and the actors in the drama all present their characters completely and realistically. The characters are full of vitality and the plot is more interesting.
So I hope this drama can bring some inspiration to domestic suspense dramas and create new breakthroughs.
Do you think this "Bianshui Past" is good to watch?
