’s recent summer season has finally become lively.

The reality-themed drama "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Houses" has just come to an end. With its heart-warming story and penetrating characterization, it has exploded in word-of-mouth and ratings.

The suspense drama "Outside the Court" produced by "Uncle Li" has two major acting talents: Luo Jin and Xia Yu. It won a lot of praise from the very beginning.

Last night, the long-awaited " Boy of Pi 2" also appeared, and the story of Lin Miaomiao and Qian Sanyi continued.

It can be seen that reality dramas and suspense dramas are still the main hits in current Chinese dramas. As long as the quality is in place, the popularity will reach the top in minutes.

So what would be the effect if these two subject types were put into a drama?

Tonight, CCTV 8 has announced a big move: " genius basic method ", which will be launched in prime time.

In the new trend of Chinese dramas being "scheduled and broadcast on the same day", this drama was scheduled nearly a month in advance. What is revealed behind it is a strong confidence.

Why? The lineup is really great. Starring Lei Jiayin , Zhang Zifeng , Zhang Xincheng , they are a troika of acting talents.

Let’s look at the supporting cast, Liu Lin , Wang Shengdi , Geng Le , Wang Xiao , it’s not enough! The crew of

was also ruthless and kept covering up the series until it was about to start airing. They also threw out a trump card: Ni Ni , Tong Yao , Wan Qian , the three goddesses also participated. The dance styles in Tong Yao's drama made me cry.

has a strong lineup? The story is adapted from Chang'er's novel of the same name. The novel is very popular among young readers. It once ranked third in the list of Chinese literary novels (Douban) in 2019. The director of

is Shen Yan .

But what moved me the most was actually the play’s difficulty in defining.

Even after watching all the trailers in one go, I was really "excited", but it is still difficult to summarize the genre of this drama: modern city, family education , campus youth, science fiction time travel, all at the same time.

But no one genre is enough to completely summarize the play. Interesting? Don't wait for tonight, enter now, Lin Chaoxi's parallel time and space.

1, Introduction: "Lin Chaoxi" in 2018, or "Lin Chaoxi" in 2006

I admit that I was stunned by a scene in the trailer.

The sky is changing, as if things are changing and the stars are moving.

After the heroine ran for a while, a voiceover sounded: "Listen to me, I am Lin Zhaoxi in 2018." "Girl, this is 2006, okay."

What's going on?

A car appeared right in front of the heroine. Through the camera, the audience could clearly see Zhang Zifeng's face.

But at this moment, the camera turned, and through the reflection of the car window, what the audience and the heroine saw together was clearly the face of 12-year-old Wang Shengdi.

The camera turned around again, and Zhang Zifeng in the camera had turned into Wang Shengdi.

If it is not a dream, then there is only one explanation - the heroine has traveled through time.

Lin Chaoxi’s consciousness in 2018 time-traveled to Lin Chaoxi’s body in 2006.

director Shen Yan used an extremely exciting sci-fi blockbuster style shot to explain a clear main line of the play -

parallel time and space, consciousness travel. In the trailer of

, the heroine compares the cakes in the cake shop to her brother: different choices will bring different consequences and trigger different time and space, just like when you walk into a cake shop, you may choose strawberry or cheese. The resulting different time-spaces are strawberry time-space and cheese time-space.

revolves around this main line, and a good show begins.

2. Story: Parallel time and space, mathematical genius, and time-travel rescue. This story is a bit exciting.

From the plot synopsis, this drama tells the story of the mathematical genius Lin Zhaosheng, his daughter Lin Chaoxi, and the high-IQ boy Pei Zhi in mathematical reasoning and dual time and space interaction. The story of self.

Combining the trailer and the original work, I roughly summarized the story content of this drama.The core attraction of the entire story of

is obviously its dual time and space setting.

After an accident, the heroine, a philosophy college student, traveled back to her childhood, only to find that she was a 12-year-old orphan in the fifth grade of elementary school. She then found her father in this world, Lao Lin, to recognize her.

At that time, Old Lin was still a rock young man with long hair, and because the heroine was a time traveler who disrupted time and space, Old Lin did not know Lin Chaoxi.

Despite this, Lao Lin still took his daughter to participate in a math summer camp. It was here that the heroine met Pei Zhi, a genius in fifth grade, and they overcame difficulties in the world of mathematics with her boyfriend.

Of course, I also met the tough summer camp teacher played by Wang Xiao. In her words, this is not a math summer camp, it is simply a math battle royale.

But here, she still spent a satisfactory time in summer camp , and even changed the mind of the teacher played by Wang Xiao invisibly, and persisted with her friends until the end.

Lin Chaoxi called this time and space cheese time and space.

The time and space she traveled through for the second time was called Strawberry Time and Space.

This time the heroine traveled to high school and met her first love Pei Zhi again. But back in the world of "Strawberry" time and space, everything doesn't look good.

's father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

Moreover, she also learned that the male god Pei Zhi, whom she had a crush on for many years, was about to go abroad for further study, and this school happened to be the one her father gave up for her.

Audiences who have read the original work know that there will be a crucial third time travel in the story. The heroine not only wants to save her father, but also win the male idol.

Judging from the main line of the story, it is roughly divided into two lines -

The first is a series of time-travel experiences of the heroine and how she changed her destiny;

The second is how she found the fun of learning mathematics during time-travel, and by the way, won love.

3, Actor: Lei Jiayin leads 9 powerful actors, which is stable

There is no doubt that Shen Yan has built a cast for this drama with both male gods and goddesses, and a gathering of outstanding actors of old, middle-aged and young people. It can be said that every leading actor , are not idle people.

What I am most looking forward to, there are 10.

1, Lei Jiayin

As the most popular Mesozoic actor in recent years, Lei Jiayin can be said to be getting braver with each battle.

In the new year's drama "Human World", he played Zhou Bingkun, an old man who seemed a little useless but was down-to-earth and capable and valued love and justice. He teamed up with several veteran actors to contribute many roles. Famous acting scenes.

Lei Jiayin's performance not only has his own strong style, but is also very delicate and precise. There will be obvious adjustments according to different roles. Is Lei Jiayin from " Chang'an Twelve Hours " and "Human World" playing the same person?

This time Lei Jiayin is "Old Lin" in both worlds, but one of them has long hair, the unruly look in his eyes is particularly obvious, and he has found a girlfriend as beautiful as Tong Yao.

As for Lao Lin, who was sick in the strawberry time and space, he had a feeling of loss without words, and the sense of vicissitudes of life emanated from the characters.

I'm really looking forward to Lei Jiayin's performance in the finished film.

2, Zhang Zifeng

Unfortunately, Zhao Jinmai's "Pi 2" has just started airing, and Zhang Zifeng's new drama has also arrived.

00花 is obviously becoming the main force on the new Chinese drama screen.

The most obvious common feature of this 00-year-old is good acting skills.

From the first glimpse in the movie "Tangshan Earthquake" at the age of 11, to the evil smile in " Chinatown Detective ", and then to the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award for " My Sister " Nominated for Best Actress, this little flower that the audience has watched grow up can be said to have taken every step very steadily.

However, compared to Zhang Zifeng’s outstanding achievements in the film field, Zhang Zifeng’s achievements in the television field are relatively less dazzling after "Little Farewell" that year. Lin Chaoxi, this role that seems to be tailor-made for Zhang Zifeng, is indeed her best way to change the situation of the battle. Chance.

3, Zhang Xincheng

From "Hello, Old Time" to " Song Dynasty Youth Chronicles ", and then to several previous family dramas and urban dramas, Zhang Xincheng has almost no failures in the TV industry, both in terms of acting skills and film selection. Called excellent. Although " Cloister Pavilion " has a poor reputation, the next " County Party Committee " will most likely become his new highlight moment.

The character he plays this time is a genius and the mathematical god in the heroine's heart. The character's image is very different from Zhang Xincheng's representative roles in the past, but a good actor must challenge different types of roles.

He will never disappoint the audience.

4, Wang Xiao

How many people would now say that he is the son of the famous actor Wang Fuli?

can't do that. The capable actors have long since taken off the label of "second generation star" based on their ability.

Wang Xiao is one of the few actors who adds points to his character every time he plays a supporting role. His role in "Three Lives Three Worlds" was not a high-ranking one at that time. It was his acting skills that made the character gossipy and cute, and the audience remembered it. role.

After that, he repeated this kind of acting counterattack again and again in " Golden Years ", " Our Marriage ", " I Have You in This Life ", " Meritorious Service ", and "The Wind Rises in Longxi". The consistent characteristics are: limited roles, not the protagonist, but each character has a shining point.

A villain like Mi Chong can be played so well that the audience can't let go of him, which proves that there is a big difference between good acting and bad acting.

Compared with a talkative character like Mi Chong, his character in this drama is a cold appearance wrapped with a fire in his heart. With Wang Xiao's strength, he will most likely play an interesting character who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

The bench is ready, let’s show off our acting skills.

5, Wang Shengdi

Who can we find to play the childhood version of the character played by a talented actress who was born as a child star? The answer is another talented child star.

It goes without saying that Pupuduo played by Wang Shengdi in "The Hidden Corner of " is amazing.

She was only 10 years old at the time, but she completed this quite complex role. This time her character is obviously more innocent and cute, and it can be said that there is no pressure on Wang Shengdi.

Judging from the trailer, she and the young actors collectively performed well. It is said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The acting skills of those born in the 10s are so amazing. Young actors such as Zhang Zifeng and Zhang Xincheng must work hard.

6, Liu Lin

is another actor who continues to contribute new classic roles. When Liu Lin was mentioned ten years ago, the audience thought of Dehua in "Parents Love". Five years ago, it might have been Dehua in "Know or Not" It should be the eldest lady of the Sheng family who starred in "Green, Fat, Red and Thin". When talking about her in the past two years, the audience thinks of Zhu Chaoyang's mother in "The Hidden Corner".

This time she plays the role of the boyhood mother of the male god Pei Zhi. My only worry about this role is that it is a bit too easy for Liu Lin.

7, Geng Le

Geng Le, who entered the entertainment industry after starring in Jiang Wen's movie " Sunny Day ", once fell into the silence of middle-aged actors, but a good actor can shine with just one role.

" breaks out of " has a mediocre reputation, but the acting school shines. The role of Niu Junjie played by Geng Le is amazing. It is obvious that Geng Le has been recognized by director Shen Yan and continues to cooperate this time. Geng Le, who plays the policeman in the

trailer, still plays very relaxed, just relax.

8, Wan Qian

The next three goddesses are probably just guest appearances, but even if they are guest appearances, they are likely to catch a glimpse and still be stunning.

For example, Wan Qian, who did not have many roles in "Outside the Court", showed her domineering attitude as soon as she appeared on the scene. Then a scene in which her subordinates tightened Luo Jin's neck went from being so cruel that it was heart-stopping, until Luo Jin made him laugh and stopped it. Under her hands, she acted a simple scene with a full sense of layering. This is the charm of the acting skills of a powerful goddess.

In 2017, with the movie "Hello, Madman!" "After winning the Best Actress Award at the 24th Beijing University Student Film Festival and showing her prominence, Wan Qian's development has been smooth in the past few years, and there will be several major dramas with female protagonists in the future.

Regardless of the protagonist or supporting role, the goddess is worth looking forward to.

9, Ni Ni

After "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", Ni Ni is often compared as a "scheming girl". Looking at her performance alone, it is indeed not as dazzling as her on the red carpet. She has good looks and acting skills, but not many new hits, so she may not be The actor can decide.

But after watching Ni Ni's acting skills in "The Meritorious Service" and "Golden Years", I know that it is only a matter of time before she gets results as she works steadily.

's cameo role is obviously due to Shen Yan, the director of "Golden Years", so the points given to her may be limited. But don’t worry, we’re willing to wait.

10, Tong Yao

Tong Yao, whose career has been developing rapidly recently, has made rapid progress with several hit movies such as "Dajiang Dahe", "Thirty Only" and " Rebel ". She also appeared in the list of guest goddesses in this drama, which shows the popularity of director Shen Yan. It's really no joke.

Although she is a guest star, her role is still very eye-catching. The female dancer she plays in the trailer not only makes the male protagonist played by Lei Jiayin stutter, but is also so beautiful that the audience can't take their eyes away.

I can't wait to see the goddess' full performance in the drama.

4. Popular items: Popular items cannot be calculated, but you can with your heart.

Will "Genius Basic Law" become popular? It's half and half to be honest.

Judging from the popularity factors, the drama has been strongly promoted by CCTV 8, and the basic ratings of CCTV 8 can be said to be quite stable.

From the perspective of the creative team, although director Shen Yan has never made a suspenseful science fiction genre in the past, from the well-received " Chinese Divorce " to the later " My First Half of Life ", "Tian Sheng Long Song", "Golden Years" can be regarded as a domestic first-line director with extremely stable performance.

The screenwriter of this drama is a newcomer, but after working on this drama, he immediately continued to collaborate with Shen Yan on "The Big Exam". It is hard to imagine that this is an ordinary person. The cast of

is even more speechless. It can be described as gorgeous.

From a genre perspective, the time-travel theme is in the limelight. At the beginning of the year, "The Beginning", a work with the theme of a time-space cycle, appeared in the industry, and the small-budget drama "Twinkle Twinkle Star" also became a small-scale hit due to the bonus points of the setting.

But there are also disadvantages.

First, the subject matter of mathematics is relatively niche after all. For some viewers, the Math Olympiad experience is comparable to the cruel childhood battle royale experience, so the content is not flattering in comparison.

Another hidden danger is that there are many story elements in the play. The concept may be called unique and novel, but it may also make some traditional viewers feel that they cannot grasp the key points.

But does this calculation make sense? I just believe that hot hits cannot be calculated.

Netflix, which used to be proud of developing drama series with big data, has seen its stock price plummet recently and its momentum is not as strong as before. This proves that so-called big data and calculations cannot really calculate hits.

On the contrary, with the emergence of many popular hits, such as "In the World", can it be calculated by relying on formulas?

"Genius Basics" is a bit risky for a Chinese drama. Even if director Shen Yan recruits a gorgeous cast to guarantee the series, it is still not guaranteed to be a hit. But in general, this kind of time-travel story can be filmed and integrated into the present. The reality brings out inspirational messages, and also allows the audience to look at mathematics that they once thought was boring from a different perspective. This kind of intention is especially rare nowadays.

The income of the producers and actors may be calculated based on whether it is a hit or not, but the value and influence of the work are not.

Compared with calculation, I believe in a line in the play "Consistent efforts, a life that cannot be slacked off, and small accumulation every day will determine the final result. This is the answer to many things."

is like a scene in the play, in which Lao Lin, played by Lei Jiayin, takes a group of children to a summer camp and tells the children that if you don't care about the results, the results are not that important.

And where the children looked, they saw the same starry sky.

At that moment, compared to the touching starry sky that moved the children, the results of participating in the summer camp were no longer that important.

And the audience's empathy for a good story cannot be calculated by any formula.
