Zhongxin Art Review: "How can you make you want to watch dramas as soon as you turn on your phone?"

　　Chinanews client, Beijing, January 14th (Reporter Luo Pan) "Have you watched it?" "Bai Jingting is good at acting"... Well, whether you find it or not, the TV series "The Beginning" is really popular, and it has made a lot of people The audience is "on the top".

"The Beginning" stills

　　The short drama "The Beginning" will be online on the evening of January 11.

From what the reporter saw, many passengers on the subway have started to chase dramas with their mobile phones in the past few days.

Let's take it as an example, let's talk about why similar dramas can become "top stream" within three days of the broadcast.

　　It is no exaggeration to say that the story setting is still king.

In those complicated production details, the plot is definitely "Eternal God"!

　　"The Beginning" is such an infinite stream theme drama.

What is an "unlimited stream"?

Simply put, it is not limited to a certain type, but is all-encompassing, gathering suspense, time and space, reality and other angles.

The plot is about the game architect Xiao Heyun (played by Bai Jingting) and college student Li Shiqing (played by Zhao Jinmai), who were "resurrected" after encountering a bus explosion. The story of stopping the explosion and finding the truth.

"Infinite time loop" is obviously an excellent fantasy theme

, and it's no wonder that many film, literature and game works have adopted this setting in recent years.

For example, in 2011, "Source Code" starring Jake Gyllenhaal is like this. It is also in danger, and the means of transportation is also a "car" (the "Source Code" plot takes place on a train).

The "Edge of Tomorrow" starring Tom Tom also takes the same setting as the premise, and then spreads the plot.

　　At first glance, it seems that there is nothing more special about everyone, and these two are still movies.

But after chewing it carefully, "The Beginning" is a bit more earthy than them.

For example, the play also includes hot topics that are closely related to society, such as human choice and intergenerational communication.

In this way, the enthusiasm of netizens for this drama is increasing day by day, which seems to be a bit reasonable.

　　Talking about casting, Bai Jingting's debut work is the online drama "The Year in a Hurry". With the character of the second male "Qiao Ran" and his own fresh appearance, he has a large number of fans in the early stage of acting.

Next, he participated in mostly youth-themed film and television dramas, which met the expectations of fans. This time, "The Beginning" is a major transformation of Bai Jingting, and the subversion of the image naturally attracted a lot of attention.

　　The heroine Zhao Jinmai has a youthful image, and she and Bai Jingting belong to the "First Love Face Series".

She entered the showbiz for her role in "Can't Live Without My Mother", and "The Test of the Magic of Balala Little Magic Fairy" and so on are also her works.

In addition, Zhao Jinmai also participated in the sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth", which ranked fifth in the Chinese film history box office list (as of October 17, 2021).

　　In addition to the above two, Liu Yijun, Liu Tao, Huang Jue and other actors will also appear in the play.

It can be said that the casting of the play is adapted to the preferences of most young people today.

From the "big traffic" of male and female protagonists and the popularity of previous works, to the luxurious lineup of friendship and co-starring, a

　　I have to say, the producers are very picky.

　　Mention the previous "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "The Hidden Corner", which, together with "The Beginning", are rare good dramas in recent years.

The characteristics of these works are also relatively uniform, for example:

, the composition is simple, the lens language is cold and sharp, and in a calm atmosphere, there are some fluctuations

.

　　The plot is not scattered, and the logic is not flawed. It is probably what the audience generally hopes to encounter when watching the drama.

At least not when you are in the right mood and suddenly appear in a play because of a certain line or a certain bridge.

Everything is as it should be, everything is just right, and a few more Internet hits like

(Qin Hao in "The Hidden Corner") will also add another dimension to the crazy spread of the drama. Take the firewood.

　　Who doesn't love works like this.

what do you say?
