The drama involved in the case had a breakthrough but it was "not thorough"

  "Sweeping Dark Storm" high popularity welcomes its ending, "unfinished" affects the final word-of-mouth

  The hit drama "Sweeping Dark Storm", which won 110 million views on the first day of its broadcast, will soon come to an end.

This drama has dominated the screen continuously throughout August, and even won the top spot of the most popular episodes of 2021 in one fell swoop.

At the close of the show, it still maintained an online score of 7.5 points, which is enough to prove that the show has been universally recognized by the audience.

  "Sweeping Black Storm" is a tribute to the special struggle against gangsters and evil. The cases in the play are adapted from real case materials, including the national sensation Sun Xiaoguo case, the corpse burial case in the playground, the criminal case involving Wen Liehong in Hunan, and Huang Hongfa in Hainan. This creative background made the play received a high degree of attention at the beginning of its broadcast.

After 18 years of filming the drama involved in the case again, Sun Honglei played a positive and evil role in the beginning of the show, and Liu Yijun, who played a positive role this time, also played a negative role for a long time, causing the audience to repeatedly guess his true identity.

  Almost all the big and small characters appearing in the play have their own characteristics. The underworld leader Ma Shuai who was killed at the beginning is played by the superb acting Ning Li.

The beginning of the story is the game scene of Sun Honglei, Ning Li and Liu Yijun. The actors' acting skills are not crotch and even frequent dramas, which greatly increases the viewability of the play.

In the subsequent plots, various people and horses have appeared on the scene, whether it is the villain Gao Zhiyuan played by Wang Zhifei, or the villain within the system played by Wu Yue, even the killer Lao Ning (Ge Si), who has not many roles, and the police station where the grassroots public security front is corrupted. Long Hu Xiaowei (played by Sun Hao) and Chen Jianbo (played by Zhou Xiaoou), a cash king who relied on bombing the mountain to get rich, also had their own characteristics, performing characters that fit their roles and have their own surprises.

  In the plot, the way of combining several big real cases for adaptation and re-creation also makes the drama appear to reflect reality, and it can get rid of the limitation of authenticity to create artistically.

Li Chengyang, played by Honglei Sun, can wander between black and white because of his 14-year grievance. Sun Xing, the incarnation of evil, can also use plastic surgery to enhance the impact of the drama, while appearing in a fictional Luteng City at the same time. The concentration of this evil form also makes the play have more social and educational significance, and there are more dramatic conflicts.

  The director of the play, Wu Bai, said that the particularity of this play is that it is based on reality, but it does not act according to reality.

Five hundred who have filmed "Psychological Crimes" and other well-known suspense dramas have used their previous experience in filming suspense dramas in this drama. A large number of stylized and typified film and television expression methods have provided a new type with the blessing of actors. Drama audio-visual experience.

Huang Xing, head of Tencent's online video content production department, Tianxuan Studio, and one of the chief producers of the show, said that the show carries the mission of paying tribute to the heroes of anti-gangsters, and also needs to popularize the special action of anti-gangsters and evil to the masses. Working methods and results.

But as a film and television work, marketability and commerciality must also be considered.

"We want it to look good, but we don't want it to become a work that speaks plainly, speaks the vernacular, and sings a high-profile rationale."

  In the opinion of drama critic Yang Wenshan, this setting on the one hand guarantees the commercial nature of "Sweeping Dark Storm" and ensures that it can meet the needs of most audiences to the extent that it looks good.

Judging from the history of the development of the dramas involved in the case in my country, the limitation of the domestic dramas involved in the case for more than ten years has not been restricted to the prime time, which also gives this "Sweeping the Dark Storm" a natural theme advantage.

"The dramas that reflect social issues have always been very popular with audiences over the years. Like the previous'Mist Theater', almost all have received positive feedback from the audience. "Sweeping the Dark Storm" not only meets the needs of suspenseful audiences, but also The social reality deeply echoes, it is an ice-breaking in the theme of the drama involved in the case for many years, and it is almost expected that it will become popular."

  In the second half of the show, many viewers also complained about the serious water injection of the show, and the characterization was relatively flat.

Yang Wenshan believes that this also comes from the peculiarities of "Sweeping Dark Storm", "It can't completely follow the fictional method to enhance the drama conflict. After He Yun's identity is revealed, the character's pros and cons and the trend of the plot can basically be Foreseeing. For the suspense genre viewers who are looking forward to more reversals and brain-burning plots, this may not be able to quench their thirst." Our reporter Li Xiazhi
