Even before "Tranquility" was aired, it had already caused a huge stir.
Although publicity in this era is very weak, looking at it from another perspective, it is not without its benefits.
There are not that many media channels anyway, and there are only a few channels where viewers can enjoy movies and TV series. If you don’t want to watch them, you can’t watch them.
Therefore, when CCTV and Modu Channel announced that they would specifically set aside weekend time slots to air new dramas, they immediately aroused great concern.
This incident even caused conflicts on CCTV.
The producers of the currently airing TV series were extremely dissatisfied and went to the station to protest against CCTV's actions.
But Yang Yuan didn't give any face at all, and directly took out the audience's evaluation survey, making the other party disgraced and quickly defeated.
This incident aroused the curiosity of many people, who wanted to see how good the new TV series was, which made CCTV eager to make the decision to change the time period and broadcast mode.
Now, "An Ning" meets everyone.
The opening credits and the theme song at the beginning were quite catchy, and many people who loved music were so impressed that they had already made up their mind to search for this song for future listening and appreciation.
The credits passed and the main film began, and the audience quickly discovered something different.
Compared with the yellowish tones of most TV programs nowadays, the shots of this drama are very cold.
The cool picture makes people feel heartbroken.
In the dilapidated and narrow corridor, the overhead shot from above, coupled with the noisy and eager footsteps, faintly highlighted the bad message.
Just this one shot made many people fall into the drama.
In fact, this kind of shot is very common in later film and television dramas, but it is the first of its kind here.
Through the police's visit and the conversation with Moran, Lao Liang and his ending were revealed, and the story began to flash back.
When the scene turned, the kitchen knife that came straight towards the camera shocked many people, and the timid ones even screamed.
Damn it, can you be mentally prepared? This will scare people to death, you know?
Anyway, Xiao Qian was very satisfied, especially when he saw Xu Mingxia was so frightened that she almost threw the teacup in her hand, he smiled like a fox.
Xu slapped him with obvious annoyance.
"Is this another prank of yours?"
However, the setting of a kitchen knife at the beginning also aroused the emotions of the audience.
This is a story about the police. Since sharp weapons are flying everywhere, it means that a major case has occurred. Next, the police should show their prowess and solve the case heroically, right?
But as the scene unfolded and the plot continued, many people had black lines on their heads.
Damn it, you made the scene with the kitchen knife so mysterious that it was just two vendors fighting?
Aimilan was very dissatisfied, so she grabbed Xiao Qian's ears and taught her a lesson while calming her nervousness.
"Look at what you did. It made me think it was such a big deal. These two little traders were fighting, and my feelings were wasted."
Xiao Qian broke away from her mother's clutches and sought Xu Mingxia's protection.
"What happened to the vendors fighting? Isn't that what the police at the police station are in charge of?"
Xu Mingxia smiled endlessly.
"Don't mention it, the same trivial things have become much more interesting after Xiaoqian set up and photographed them like this."
If this opening made many people yell at the director and screenwriter, then the following plot will really make many people watch TV on their knees.
It was none other than the long shot that Xiao Qian reshot.
In the pouring rain, Lao Liang and Xu Yuan walked side by side. Although they were soaked to the skin, their tall and straight bodies made people feel safe inexplicably.
The compact melody combined with the fine raindrops actually creates a blockbuster atmosphere.
And Li Yushuang's performance in this section is even more jaw-dropping.
"It's now five-thirty-five, and Lao Wang from the cotton mill is getting off work. Lao Wang has a bad spine and can't see behind him while riding a bicycle. It's dangerous to cross the road on a rainy day like this, so you have to be careful."
As he spoke, Lao Liang casually stretched out his hand on the side of the road.
Because of this action, the vehicle that was going to pass through the rain and fog stopped. Then the wide-angle lens unfolded, and a bicycle came slowly from the darkness next to it and ran past the two of them.
A simple and honest man on the bicycle left only one sentence.
"Thank you, Lao Liang."
Lao Liang did not respond and continued to move forward with his wish.
"Children from Chen's family in Mudan Community in front of me will definitely pass by here after school at this time. If they don't watch, they should be more careful. Parents can't stand it if anything happens to their children."
The sound of running footsteps of children could be heard beside the two of them, and they rushed into the community.
Lao Liang's magic continues.
"Old Duan from the grain and oil factory likes to buy cigarettes after dinner. After buying, he has to smoke on the spot, otherwise he won't be able to bear it. If he doesn't see Old Duan, he will have a fight with his wife."
Sure enough, a man walked out of the nearby grocery store. As soon as he reached the door, he opened the cigarette case and lit one happily.
A long shot that lasted about five minutes basically showed Lao Liang talking and making a wish and listening, but it vividly and magically portrayed the image of a policeman who knew the area under his jurisdiction.
Many people even have doubts about life when they see this scene.
Looking at the rice bowl in my hands, I couldn't help but wonder, does the police in the area know what I am eating now?
I don’t know why, but when I think about it like this, I feel so relieved?
Xu Mingxia and Ai Lan were both dumbfounded.
"This... this... this... are the police so powerful?"
Xiao Qian peeled an orange for Li Qingjue and said casually: "Of course not, this is just artistic processing. Of course, police officers who have been serious and responsible for many years must have their own merits."
"Tranquility" is different from all the TV series the audience has watched. The pace is too fast. Before they could take a breath, the ending song suddenly sounded and everyone realized that they had finished watching one episode just like that.
Look at the clock on the wall again, dear, it's already half past nine.
There was obviously no pause and no commercials, so how could an hour and a half pass?
In the past, when watching TV series, the whole family would sit together and chat while watching. Many times, we would even chat more than we watched.
But today, even though the whole family is gathering together, why is it so quiet?
Before the man could figure it out, his youngest son's shout suddenly came.
"Ouch, you're suffocating me. I have to go to the toilet."
But before the younger son could leave, the eldest daughter had already rushed into the bathroom.
"I'll come first, I'll come first."
Only then did the man feel an electric current-like stimulation in his prostate.
"Oh, good girl, come on, come on, your dad can't hold it in anymore."
Similar situations play out in countless families.
There are people who are not affected by TV series, such as Li Qingjue.
She can't understand.
Xiao Qian knew she was young, so he still peeled oranges for her patiently.
But the outside world exploded, and comments from all parties were rampant.
Fortunately, there is no Internet now, otherwise, the drama "An Ning" will definitely become a hot search.
Even so, in this era when the entertainment and cultural industry was relatively primitive, the impact "Tranquility" brought to people was beyond imagination.
The next day, Xiao Qian deliberately bought some literary and artistic newspapers. Sure enough, there were reviews of "An Ning" in them.
In one of them, a professor made serious criticism of the TV series.
He believes that the TV series is deceptive and exaggerates the image of the police. The real police are not that powerful. Those who can do what they do in the TV series are not policemen, but gods.
Xiao Qian picked up the pen and drew a circle on the professor's name.
Old guy, wait, you will cry in the future.
Where there are criticisms, there are naturally praises, even in the editorials of Xinhua Daily.
The title is definitely eye-catching, "Ordinary Heroes Are Around Us."
Such a high-level editorial is obviously not just published for a drama. The words are more of a high praise for the dedication of people who work silently and struggle in humble positions.
Of course, the editorial even gave extensive recognition to "An Ning"'s ability to focus on the subtleties that people tend to overlook and to show the extraordinary practices of ordinary positions.
According to news reports, police officers across the country encountered big trouble after the TV series aired.
There are always people who treat them as supermen when they meet them.
Questions such as "Who am I?" "What time will I get off work?" "What is my family having for dinner tonight?" have troubled the police very much.
But when I saw the thumbs up from the people, I didn’t know why, but I always thought that it would be better if I had more of this kind of trouble.
