Not long ago, we just talked about the recently launched "Forensic Pioneer 5", and lamented that Hong Kong dramas are declining now, and the sequels of many classic IPs are no longer as glorious as before.
But, is it because these big IPs are not eye-catching enough that we can tell that there are no excellent series in Hong Kong dramas?
says this seem a bit arbitrary.
In fact, compared with the big Hong Kong drama IPs that are well-known to more people, in recent years, some Hong Kong dramas with low costs and special themes have emerged, and many good stories of high scores have emerged.
We have talked about Hong Kong dramas such as " Jinxiao Building " and "Love in My Desolate God". The production cost of these dramas is not high, and even the posters look very rough.
However, because the story itself is full of imagination, parallel time and space, superpowers, and other themes are all interpreted in a very Hong Kong-style way, making these dramas a series with higher IP ratings than classic Hong Kong dramas.
Today, what we are going to talk about is also a niche Hong Kong drama with a low-cost production but high rating -
"Super Messenger"
First of all, please don't be persuaded to retreat by this poster with a strange and rough color scheme.
In fact, the posters of high-scoring niche Hong Kong dramas in recent years are all in this style.
The editor dared to speculate that it may be that the crew really has no money, so there is no more funding to make well-made posters.
But whether a drama is good or not, posters are certainly not a key factor. After the drama "Super Messenger" was launched at the end of October, the score on Douban also reached a high score of 8.1. The story setting of this drama is not too novel at first glance, it tells a group of people with superpowers.
We have seen too much about the setting of "superpower" in American blockbusters, just take the Marvel Universe as an example, it has been around for more than ten years.
But the "superheroes" in this story do not have the deep background as "Avengers".
Not to mention that they are the richest man, doctor, and agent, the protagonists of "Super Envoy" are all ordinary people who cannot be more ordinary.
right, you read that right, the first protagonist of the story, that is, the male protagonist Zhong Xiaonian ( Chen Zhanpeng decoration), is a foot-pinching master.
As an ordinary person at the bottom of society, he is worried about his livelihood every day, and he squeezes into a not-so-large house with his wife, mother and younger brother.
In the massage shop, you have to please customers, and when you get home, you have to face the birth of your mother.
It can be said that Zhong Xiaonian is the kind of ordinary person who will disappear if he throws it into the crowd.
And other people with superpowers in the play are the same as him. The same is true for the heroine Qiao Ruolan ( Tang Shiyong decoration). It was not easy for her to work hard in this metropolis, but her sister even married a gambling ghost.
And her sister also died at the beginning of the story.
Qiao Ruolan felt that the one who killed her sister was the gambling brother-in-law, but her brother-in-law was missing, which made Qiao Ruolan very sad and upset. Even when facing her sister's body, she triggered her superpower and could not save her sister's life.
But in fact, they themselves don’t know why they have superpowers.
After the male and female protagonists met accidentally, they slowly recalled some clips.
It seems that they had taken a bus together, but immediately, the bus had a car accident.
The time of the car accident was also very strange.
June 6th 6:6:6:6.
such a time is not simple at first glance.
And they survived this car accident and had super powers.
Zhong Xiaonian can stagnate time and space, and Qiao Ruolan has the ability to heal.
Then, they also met other people with superpowers one after another.
For example, Gao Yong ( Chen Shancong ) survived that car accident, and after experiencing an accident, he was inspired to be an indestructible body.
But the story tone of this drama is destined to make it "unordinary".
These superpowers do not have the ideal and ambition to save the world. Even if they have superpowers, they still face difficulties in the lives of ordinary people.
Zhong Xiaonian still had to play supporting roles in the crew in order to make a living, and Qiao Ruolan has been trying to find the real murderer who killed her sister.
In this process, this group of justice messengers are also solving one small problem after another.
These problems seem ordinary, but these people who are not even skilled in their superpowers still have a sense of justice and punish evil and promote good.
I have to say that in this down-to-earth way, we, as ordinary people, look more immersive, and also add to the comedy atmosphere of the entire story.
In recent years, the reason why niche Hong Kong dramas have emerged and have been constantly high-scoring dramas is that in addition to the strange imagination, there is another thing we cannot ignore.
That is, these stories combine the open mind with the lives of ordinary people very well.
Even if we talk about "superheroes", these people still come from the bottom of society. They are service personnel, extras, and takeaway guys...
They can be anyone we meet in our daily lives.
But who can say that these ordinary people cannot become heroes?
When the male protagonist said the sentence with a little doubt and proud tone - "Are we chosen by God?", it is difficult for you to smile.
Yes, who has never had such a "daydream"?
Who has never imagined that he is the one chosen by God?
is also because of this. This kind of story can make us feel more immersive when we watch it.
If you have had such a heroic dream in your second-year middle school period, you might as well take a look at this "Super Messenger".
Maybe you will have a brand new understanding of the story of "superhero".
After all - "Who says that ordinary people are not considered heroes?"
