A while ago, the domestic fantasy drama " Tang Dynasty Strange Things Record " was released. Although there was no large-scale appearance, it was only broadcast online as the scale of an online drama.
But because the whole drama is well produced and the overall story logic is good, this drama has become a dark horse drama in 2022. After the entire drama was broadcast, it scored nearly 160,000 people, with a good score of 7.9, which also made this costume fantasy detective theme once again become a popular type.
So, when a drama with a overall style from name to poster started broadcasting recently, I clicked on it as soon as possible and thought, would it be another dark horse costume detective drama?
Unexpectedly, there were 8 episodes in total, and after watching 6 episodes, the entire capital was... speechless.
Today, let’s talk about this movie -
"Chang'an Secret Record"
This is a micro-short drama exclusively on Tencent , each episode is less than 10 minutes long.
The form of micro-short dramas is now very common, but most of the micro-short dramas we have talked about before tend to be romance or light comedy in terms of themes.
. Will the drama with suspense and reasoning be the main theme be broadcast in the form of micro-short dramas not reflect the brain-burning and logical nature of its story?
After reading "Chang'an Secrets", it seemed that I got the answer.
That is... it is indeed inappropriate, very inappropriate!
The whole drama has a total of 8 episodes, and it is currently suspended after 6 episodes.
Judging from the updated 6 episodes, this drama is just a case.
brothel woman Liu Ruyan was deceived by her brothel mother to the local powerful Zhu family. After having an insidious marriage with the late prince of the family, she died.
After this, the Zhu family began to lose their fortunes. When the mistress of the family jumped into a well, the butler was brutally killed in Liu Ruyan. The master of the Zhu family seemed to be on the top of his body while drinking in the brothel, and then died suddenly...
After that, the brothel mother and housekeeper who deceived Liu Ruyan into Zhu's mansion also died one after another.
The one responsible for investigating this case is Zhang Xiaomeng (played by Huang Nuannuan), the granddaughter of the local coroner .
At the same time, there is also Prince Li Xinghe (Handleman 1) who came to the public to conduct private visits to understand the people's sentiments and encountered this case.
During the investigation, Dali Temple's staff Chu Qi (played by Zhang Danyang) also joined in.
The three of them, together with the prince's escort Yao Zhan ( Bai Chenxi decoration), worked together to crack the case.
, that's all, the plot is about this. Next, let me talk about what are the complaints about this drama that make people feel uncomfortable.
First of all, as a viewer of suspense drama, the most important thing about whether or not you like a drama is the suspense laying out the suspense and the logic of the protagonist when solving the case.
And this drama, at these two points, can be said to be... not taking up any of them!
Director and screenwriter seem to have no idea what it means to lay out suspense. In terms of case display, it has only created a superficial horror atmosphere from the beginning.
Of course, what makes people speechless is the reasoning part of the entire case.
Starting from the first case, the heroine came to the scene of the crime. The camera of the body was only given two seconds, and the heroine squatted beside the body and gestured twice.
Then, he began to eloquently infer the death time, cause and killing method of the deceased...
We mean, don't you really go around and see more? Investigation?
Is this a little too fast? At least we respect the audience in front of the screen, and give us some clues to think about it together?
And what about the male protagonist of the prince? It doesn't seem to work from beginning to end.
It’s fine if you can’t help with the case at all, but you can’t always post a few lines from the domineering boss that make people feel chilled.
Not only does it have the temperament of a prince at all, it also makes people completely unable to understand what the meaning of this character is.
But the bad thing about this drama is not only the shoddy progress of the case, and the inexplicable character setting in the story.
In many details, it can also be seen that the production of this drama is very careless.
The whole play begins, and it seems to be well-made. Liu Ruyan's appearance seems to be good, but looking back, after the male and female protagonists appear one after another, their faces are all unconcealed by technology and ruthlessness.
The stiff facial muscles and the straight mountain roots of the Yintang make people lose their dramas no matter how they watch it.
Not to mention the puzzled costumes in the play.
As a Tang Dynasty woman, the actors have already put flower on their eyebrows. Why do they still have air bangs? ? ?
really! Really confusing!
This drama, which has only 8 episodes in total, has currently aired 6 episodes, but judging from the content currently aired, it basically cannot change the essence of a big bad movie.
I just want to say that when I was watching "The Strange Things of the Tang Dynasty", I also felt that although the overall drama is average, it still has some shortcomings, so even if I like it very much, I still feel regretful.
But after reading "The Secrets of Chang'an", I realized how excellent "The Secrets of the Tang Dynasty" is!
Is this the legendary, "I'm not very outstanding, it's all up to my peers"?
damage, I hope there will be more excellent costume fantasy dramas in the future~
