The Douban score in "The Secret Corner" has also been stable at 9.0, making it the highest rated domestic drama since this year.
As a slightly suspenseful suspense drama, why is "The Secret Corner" so hot?

In fact, this is not unreasonable. First of all, the actor configuration is reliable, there is no traffic, all are strong faction.
"The Hidden Corner" takes the coastal town in the summer of 2005 as the story. Zhang Dongsheng, the math teacher of the Children's Palace, pushed the father-in-law and mother-in-law down the cliff in the scenic area, but the three children who were playing in the distance were unexpectedly Zhu Chaoyang, Pu Pu, and Yan Liang. Photographed in. A series of accidents happened, and the fate of the three children also deviated from the original track.
Qin Hao is played as Zhang Dongsheng, and netizens say he has a face that can "interpret everything". From "Spring Breeze Night" to "Tuina" to "Demon Cat Biography" and "Clouds in the Wind with Rain", the temperament of each character is different.

He is no stranger to the villain, but unlike Jiang Zicheng's fierceness in "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind," he performed Zhang Dongsheng in a calm and depressed thrill.
Wang Jingchun, an actor who has sold children's shoes, has worked as a North Drift, and has played many supporting roles, is also the best actor at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Tokyo International Film Festival, and the best actor at the Golden Rooster Award. He plays the policeman in the play. Chen.

Supporting actors also have come to play, as Zhang Songwen, Zhu Chaoyang's father Zhu Yongping, who played Tang Yijie, director of the Urban Construction Commission, in "A Cloud in the Wind". Because of his acting too much, some people thought it was an edited news report.

Liu Lin plays Zhu Chaoyang's mother Zhou Chunhong, she is both Jiang Dehua in "Parent Love" and the big lady in "Knowing Whether You Should Be Green Fat Red Skinny". According to the director, in order to tie in with the crew time, she bought an eight-hour station ticket to the crew.

Lu Fangsheng and Li Meng have also produced many works in recent years, such as "Twelve Hours of Chang'an", "Relief of Mr. Wu", and "No Evil".
In addition, the performances of Rong Zishan, Shi Pengyuan, and Wang Shengdi are also remarkable. To be precise, "Secret Corner" tells the story of three children, and their performance is more mature than their actual age. If the actors do not perform well, the whole drama may collapse. But the three little actors not only catch the play, but also give the characters different personalities.

But is it good for actors to be good? This is not necessarily the case, there are many situations where good actors perform bad dramas. "Hidden Corner" can be hot, and it has a lot to do with its production team.
Joe Cacaci, the screenwriter of "House of Cards", acted as the screenwriter. Other screenwriters are also domestic first-line screenwriters. Han Sanping is the producer and Xin Shuang is the director. The production team is the original cast of the online drama "The Crime of Undocumentedness".
Xin Shuang was a member of the rock band JOYSIDE. As a director, he is a newcomer. Many people know that he is because of an excerpt from the variety show "City of Fantasy", and it is from this that the production team saw the "romantic realism" hidden in him.
From the film "The Secret Corner", Xin Shuang's intentions for his first online drama can also be seen, such as the animation of the egg at the beginning of the episode, the different soundtracks at the end of each episode, the grass snake gray line in the details, etc. . In addition, unlike previous dramas based on time diversity, this drama is managed by the climax of the plot and has a strong sense of suspense.

Many viewers also mentioned the word "sense of film", which not only refers to the high quality of the lens, but also refers to the play's lack of redundancy in the lens narrative, actor performances, and lines.
Both the director and the actor have increased the rationality of the play and roles from their own perspectives. For example, Zhang Dongsheng’s baldness setting was discussed by Xin Shuang and Qin Hao, and Zhang Dongsheng and his wife have been married for many years without children. The cause of tension.

In the play Zhu Yongping's card-playing game was also changed by Zhang Songwen. The original script was written to play mahjong, but Zhang Songwen believed that playing mahjong represented a bad profit for this factory, because it takes a long time for mahjong to play a circle, and people who do business do not have so much time. .

In the play where Zhou Chunhong wiped his son’s milk, the director was originally worried that the play was too dramatic, but Liu Lin’s live performance was very real, which scared the young actors.

The adaptation of "The Secret Corner" is also not new. Unlike the original "Bad Child", the people in the play are not so bad. Many tragedies did not happen deliberately, but were caused by the environment at that time, as the so-called "one thought becomes a Buddha and one thought becomes a devil".
Zhu Chaoyang's parents divorced, and his mother treated him with care, but she ignored his psychological needs. Her slightly paranoid desire to control also made her son's personality depressing and no friends, and she also sacrificed the opportunity to reorganize her family. The father focused on the new family and was absent from his son's growth.

Both Pupu and Yanliang are children in welfare institutions. They lack the guidance and companionship of their parents. While paying special attention to their friends, they are a bit vague about right and wrong. So when they meet good people, they will give back with goodwill, and when they meet bad people, they also have their own ways.

And Zhang Dongsheng is a son-in-law who is in trouble. In the eyes of his colleagues, he is a good man who cares for his family. The happy family he was striving to maintain was about to be destroyed, and because of fear of loss, he killed his father-in-law and his wife.

From this we can see the importance of family and mental health. Many problems originally had better solutions, but for various reasons, the people in the play chose the most extreme one.
Xin Shuang once told the media that he didn't want to show pure evil through his works. What the show wanted to dissect the audience was the psychological roots behind the family, the emotions of the characters and the growth trajectory.
"The hidden corner is about the heart, and there is a layer of meaning in the situation of these two people: the stronger the sunlight, the greater the shadows, they are all people who live in strong sunlight but are covered by shadows and wrongly treated by some people, thus There is a dark seed in my heart."
This setting also gives the audience a lot of room for discussion and imagination. Believe in fairy tales or the truth? Choose good intentions or use evil to control evil? Everyone has their own choice.
As Hamlet's "survival or destruction", these problems also give this drama a certain tragic color. Man is as small as dust in front of reality and fate, but man can also use a fulcrum to pry the entire earth. (Finish)
