Chapter 388 'Hidden' starts broadcasting, the king returns
In today's fast-paced, highly entertainment-oriented society, people's time cost is very high, which often causes the audience to have a "quick temper".
Most of the time when watching dramas and movies, it is superficial, and it is rare to really calm down and slowly and carefully watch and analyze the plot.
Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that 99% of TV series are of poor quality and are not enough to attract viewers to study them, and can only be reduced to a tool to kill time and relieve boredom.
The quality of the TV series is poor—audiences are lukewarm about watching it—and the film producers cannot get good feedback and continue to make perfunctory productions.
Slowly, a vicious cycle formed. The entire domestic TV drama market began to wither. A large number of viewers who loved dramas left the country and turned to foreign American dramas and Japanese dramas.
When the situation was at its worst, many people were full of disdain and resistance when it came to domestic dramas.
Until the past two or three years, domestic film and television companies led by Shanhe have emerged. They are either based on TV platforms or active on video websites, and have successively launched some high-quality dramas.
Especially Shanhe, starting from "Family with Children" and "Seven Swords" in 2018, "Wulin Gaiden" and "Cooking Class Story 2" in 2019, "Crossing Guandong", "Magic Phone" and "Serious Case Group Six" in 2020,
"Bright Sword", "Baolian Lantern" and "Da Ranfang" in 2021, this year's "Mansion Gate" and "Detective Di Renjie"...
Almost single-handedly, he brought up the already declining domestic drama market.
Coupled with the rising trend of online dramas, audiences have regained confidence in some domestic dramas, and the overall market has recovered again.
From this point of view, although Shanhe is often criticized in various ways at the same time, practitioners in the TV industry should be grateful to Shanhe and Zuo Le.
The audience should also be "thankful". Shanhe has maintained the bottom line of film and television practitioners and has become a rare domestic entertainment food that they can catch their eyes. They are not forced to live overseas and look for food everywhere.
The reason why Shanhe and Zuo Le are famous outside, have a high reputation, and are wildly supported and sought after by the audience is because of the support of these "good" colleagues.
It is precisely because of them that Shanhe's original score of 95 suddenly became particularly outstanding, running towards the benchmark of 100 or even 120...
And because of this, in the current domestic film and television industry, Shanhe drama is one of the few works that can make the audience slowly calm down and concentrate on watching the drama.
This is especially true for Zuo Le's new drama "Latent".
Different from ordinary ordinary TV dramas, as a high-quality spy drama, this drama has many details, and many places are worthy of the audience's careful review or even review.
Only in this way can we slowly see the essence of this drama.
…………
Quancheng, an apartment
At one and a half o'clock, wearing casual clothes? Sitting on the sofa with a teapot in his arms with great interest? Watching "Latent", which premiered last night, with his wife Li Rui.
As I said before, September is the off-season for movies. There are not many new movies released, and there is no room for professional film critics at 1:30.
But there are no new movies to comment on...ahem...reviews? Can you also comment on TV series? Anyway, it's not like I didn't write a film review for a TV series a month and a half ago.
I had previously learned that Zuo Le's new drama "Latent" was airing, and at 1:30, I planned that my job in September would be to follow up on this drama to transition into the off-season movie period before the National Day schedule in October.
He had already watched the premiere on Dongshan Channel yesterday at 1:30. Does he have a general understanding of the plots of the first two episodes of "Latent"?
But when he wanted to write the manuscript this morning? Before he started writing, he felt that he didn't understand all the details, so he planned to write a second draft, and even brought his own notebook with him so that he could record it at any time.
As for Li Rui, yesterday I attended a best friend’s birthday party. I missed the premiere. Today, I heard Yidianyue’s review of “Latent” was good. I had nothing to do, so I planned to follow the show.
The plot of the first episode of "Latent" has been mentioned before. It introduces that Japan is about to be defeated, and the relationship between the Communist Party and the Communist Party becomes ambiguous. Yu Zecheng, a small civil servant in the military command, is accidentally involved in the incident of a traitor in the military command? His whole life begins to undergo a qualitative change.
A month and a half later? He didn’t pay much attention to the plot, but he started to observe the details in the play crazily and think about it combined with the real background. This was of great help to him in writing analysis and reviews.
Li Rui is not as busy as her husband, so she has a relaxed attitude while watching the drama because it is not in a movie theater. She is also very interested in discussing the plot or characters with Yi Yiyueban.
"This Li Haifeng is also a weirdo. He defected to the Japanese in 1945. Isn't he looking for death because he was full and had nothing to do?"
Idian Yueban, who was writing the drama, looked up and said: "You can't say that. From God's perspective, we naturally know what history is going on, but the insiders at that time may not necessarily understand the situation.
Although Japan was in full decline at that time, it was not completely defeated after all. Many major domestic cities were still in the hands of the Japanese. Many people felt that even if Japan was defeated, it could still retain some vitality, and at worst, they would return to live in Japan.
Who would have thought that when the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States, the bones of Japan were suddenly broken, and many traitors who thought they would be safe were liquidated."
"So that's it."
Li Rui nodded. In the past, she didn't understand the plots of some anti-special dramas. It was obvious that the Fruit Party had been beaten to Taiwan and was lingering, so why were these agents still so stubborn?
Now after listening to what I said a month and a half ago, I probably understand what's going on. I just still hope that one day I can counterattack with the thigh of the United States.
After all, there were times when our party was pushed to the end of its rope, why didn't it still buck the trend and become the final winner?
Guo Dang will definitely want to follow suit.
It's a pity that this practice has only lasted seventy years. Now, let alone a counterattack, there is not even a hint of a counterattack. They were also beaten up on the island, and even the small treasury was ransacked.
Looking south to "Master Wang" for another year, "Master Wang" doesn't have a penny...
Li Rui looked at Boss Dai who was so angry that he cursed loudly in the play, and silently complained in his heart.
………
One and a half months ago didn't have as many ideas as Li Rui. He watched the drama "Latent" for the second time. The more he watched, the more details he discovered. The various character settings were cleverly combined with historical circumstances.
For example, at the beginning, Yu Zecheng monitors the conversation, Lao Lu and Yu Zecheng introduce it, and Yu Zecheng lurks in Jinling and is interrogated by Japanese people. There are traces of various lines in it.
Such details undoubtedly have a very good effect on the overall quality of the TV series.
Apart from other things, when I was watching the dialogues between these characters, I didn’t feel like I was in a drama at all. In addition, the high-quality service in the drama gave me a strong sense of reality.
"It is indeed the strongest TV production company in China at this stage. With this production attitude and level, it is difficult for other film crews to compare with it."
I admired "Latent" very much at 1:00 and 1:30, and made a few notes in my notebook, intending to praise it when I go back to write the manuscript.
In addition to the exquisite historical details, the lines in "Latent" are also very interesting.
For example, when Yu Zecheng faced a desperate situation, he made a desperate move and went to assassinate Li Haifeng alone. When Li Haifeng saw Yu Zecheng alone, he asked in surprise.
"only you?"
"Um."
"Chongqing or Yan'an?"
"Anti-Japanese."
"Sooner or later."
boom!
After being knocked down with one shot, Yu Zecheng, who was still a little nervous at that time, trembled slightly with his gun, then turned his head to make up for it.
Yiyiyueban liked this dialogue very much. It was concise yet powerful, and even the originally comical character of Li Haifeng became more alive.
As a professional film critic, he knows very well how difficult it is for a semi-bitter character like Li Haifeng who only appears in a few scenes to successfully portray and leave an impression on the audience.
And "Latent" did it, and not only Li Haifeng, but also Lao Lu, a character who didn't appear much. Although he ended soon, his presence was not weak.
Even as Yu Zecheng's leader, Lao Lu's importance in the first two episodes can be second only to Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan.
And his playing time was less than ten minutes...
…
I am more and more amazed by the exquisite character portrayal in "Latent". Unlike his focus, Li Rui is more interested in the love scenes between Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan.
In just two episodes, Li Rui became very fond of the character Yu Zecheng, who is gentle and infatuated, and full of respect for women's choices.
The only shortcomings are that the eyes are too small and the appearance is not that good. This is mainly the fault of actor Sun Lei, but the overall flaws are not concealed.
Falling into the arms of justice for the sake of love, this seemingly vulgar romance drama plot did not arouse Li Rui's disgust, but rather moved her.
Because the relationship between Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan is sincere, and the play has done a lot of foreshadowing for Yu's transformation.
At the beginning, when Yu Zecheng learned about Zuo Lan's underground party status, he wanted to cut off the relationship between them, but he couldn't bear the feelings in his heart, so he wrote a letter to persuade Zuo Lan, hoping that Zuo Lan would quit.
Later, they met again in Jinling, and the two reunited happily, but they had disputes because of each other's belief and cherishment, and finally broke up on bad terms, but they still loved each other deeply.
Until Yu Zecheng became disillusioned with the internal strife and various dirty operations within the party, and was saved by our party. When he saw the emotional farewell letter left by Zuo Lan, he burst into tears and decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
Therefore, Yu Zecheng became an underground party. Although his feelings for Zuo Lan were an important reason, it was not the whole reason. His own change in thoughts and beliefs was also very important.
The plot in the play has been laid out so that the audience understands Yu Zecheng's changes very well and does not delay eating the candies of him and Zuo Lanfa.
As a senior drama fan and family member of a film critic, Li Rui considers herself to be a semi-professional film critic.
She believes that many TV dramas are being criticized for not doing their job properly. They are obviously dramas with a certain theme, but they are crazy about emotional scenes. It is not because the audience doesn't like to watch emotional scenes, but because they can't film them well.
Not only is it embarrassing, but it doesn't fit into the plot at all. The whole atmosphere is very strange. How can the audience agree with it?
There were a lot of emotional scenes in the first two episodes of "Latent", but she watched them with gusto. Even Yibanyue, who was never interested in emotional dramas, didn't feel any disgust at all.
As the saying goes - food is the original sin.
………
After two episodes, I received several pages of notes at 1:30, and Li Rui also added "Latent" to the list of dramas to watch with great interest.
In a short period of time, there is no shortage of spiritual food at night.
Afterwards, the couple ordered a takeaway. After dinner, they went to the study room to sort out and write a manuscript before one and a half o'clock. Li Rui hugged a pillow and played with her mobile phone on the sofa.
I checked my scarf and saw a lot of news about "Latent". I clicked on it and found out that the premiere of "Latent" exceeded 2, breaking the premiere record in recent years.
The initial Douhua score of 8.9 made people call Shanhe another 9-point masterpiece.
Director Zuo Le has once again been hailed as a god. Although he has not filmed a drama for more than a year, as long as he wants to, the crown of TV drama king will not fall to others.
Previously, "The Mansion Gate" was very popular, and everyone from all walks of life praised Kong Sheng, as if Zuo Le was about to be overthrown and stepped down.
As a result, now that "Latent" premiered with great success, similar sounds immediately disappeared, as if they had never appeared at all.
Facing this group of losers, Zuo Le couldn't be bothered to talk to them. Since the launch of "Latent", in addition to retweeting a promotional event for the official neck of the TV series, Zuo Le has just posted his baby regularly.
However, Li Rui browsed Zuo Le's scarf comment section and discovered a big secret.
In Zuo Le's photo of Jiugong, which she posted at noon today, the last photo reveals half of a book, which looks very much like a script. The font at the bottom of the half-blocked cover vaguely looks like the word "liar".
In addition to the news revealed by Zuo Le not long ago, many people suspected that this was the script for his next new drama, and then they started to speculate about it in the comments.
Li Rui looked at it and didn't take it too seriously. The drama "Latent" has just begun, so why are you anxious about a new drama?
Besides, new dramas can’t be released in a hurry, just wait and see...
After that, Li Rui went to look at the scarves of Sun Lei and other actors in "Latent". She had just watched the TV series and was new to these actors.
Among the scarves worn by the actors in "Latent", the male protagonist Sun Lei is the most popular, and the bottom of his scarf is also the most lively, with fans and audiences from all walks of life coming to make fun of them.
[I saw Yu Zecheng in "Latent", and I was so stunned that I didn't recognize that it was Sun Lei Ge who played it]
[The acting is really good, I didn’t expect Brother Sun Lei to be able to play a scholar]
[Hua Zi, you are so shameful. You were so arrogant when you fucked Biao Zi. Your hands are shaking even if you kill a traitor]
[Actually, wearing glasses makes you look smaller]
[Haha, I have watched too much "Super Challenge" and I feel uncomfortable seeing Yu Zecheng's submissive look.]
[Variety shows are just for fun. Actors should do more filming. Brother Sun Lei chose a good one this time and it’s very good-looking.]
[Just kidding, don’t look at who the director is]
[My favorite actor and director work together, so happy]
[Fans of Daocheng Lady sent congratulatory messages]
【……】
Although Sun Lei's popularity has been maintained well in the past two years due to variety shows, his film and television works are really not very successful.
This time "Latent" made a direct comeback, and he suddenly became a popular actor in the industry.
"Latent" has just aired for less than a day, and there are already people clamoring for Sun Lei to compete for the TV spot at the end of the year.
However, this is not easy to say. This year, Shanhe dramas continue to explode, and the male protagonists of several dramas are very hopeful to win the title of TV drama.
Liang Damin of "Detective Detective Dee Renjie", Jiao Jun of "The Prequel of The Lotus Lantern", and Chen Guo, the most popular TV star this year, "The Mansion Gate".
In addition, Hu Jie from "Serious Case Group 3" and Shen Teng from "College Story 3" are not without opportunities.
Coupled with the male protagonists of high-quality TV dramas other than Shanhe drama, this year's Golden Phoenix TV series is full of heroes, and it can be said that the competition is the most fierce in recent years.
If Sun Lei wants to become emperor, he must first surpass these competitors...
