The number one player in film and television solicitation order
In recent years, with the trend of film and television, the two popular IPs in tomb robbery, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Robbery Notes", have also become the favored objects of many directors. However, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series is getting more and more filmed, and the "Tomb Robbery Notes" series has always been fascinating, until the appearance of "Ultimate Notes", which made me see that "Tomb Robbery Notes" can also be filmed.
"Ultimate Notes" was broadcast on iQiyi on December 10, 2020, and the story is mainly about the Genting Heavenly Palace, Wu Xie received 2 videotapes from Zhang Qiling, and accidentally found that there were pictures in the tapes that he had never experienced, so in order to figure out what was going on, he went to the place described in the videotape alone, but he didn't expect everything to be designed by others.
In my opinion, this drama can be called the dark horse in the tomb robbery series, as long as most of the people who open it will be attracted, and beat the TV series "Restart the Extreme Sea Listening to Thunder" personally supervised by the third uncle of the Southern School, so what is this drama so good?
1.The horror and suspense atmosphere is full
I'm not a fan of the original book, but I like to watch film and television works about tomb robbing, and the unknown tension is too exciting. And "Ultimate Notes" gave me that experience in the first episode. Mystery video;Inexplicable woman;Abandoned sanatoriums;These elements all add a terrifying touch to the show.
2.The plot is coherent and compact
The fast-paced plot of The Ultimate Notes simply surprised me. From the videotapes of Tamuda, Devil's City, and the West Queen Mother Palace, several locations connect the whole story together, and the plot is also arranged clearly.
Simplify the original work but the content is coherent, there is no superfluous nonsense, there is no plot of deliberate water injection, Zhang Qiling's knife is lost, Wang Fatzi, one of the protagonists, said that he was bitten and was bitten, and the heroine A Ning said that he would receive a box lunch, there is no conventional protagonist halo in film and television dramas, especially A Ning's death is completely attached to the original book, when many viewers thought that A Ning would be resurrected, the TV series let you know that A Ning has no possibility of resurrection.
3.The scene layout is realistic, and the special effects are realistic
There are scenes of the desert and rainforests in Ultimate Notes, and these big scenes look similar to the real deserts and rainforests, although they may be special effects synthesis, but at least they don't seem to be disobedient. The second is the special effects, whether it is a big python or a highly venomous pheasant neck (cockscomb snake), or a corpse cockroach king, it is very realistic.
4.Proper casting
When I first saw the cast, my first feeling was that it would be a TV series that would not make any splashes, but I never expected that it was these actors I didn't expect would make me stay up all night to finish chasing.
The first is Wu Xie, Wu Xie in "Ultimate Notes" was inexplicably involved in a mystery, the accidental death of his companion, and the snake venom in the body of Wang Fatzi for a corpse, and Wu Sanxing's true identity made him subvert his cognition. And actor Zeng Shunxi, although his acting skills are slightly green, it makes the characters more realistic.
Xiao Yuliang's Zhang Qiling is the white moonlight in the minds of many people, after watching Zhang Qiling performed by different actors, I personally think that Xiao Yuliang is the closest to the original work, and he also gave life to the little brother in the book. Zhang Qiling in the book is a force responsible, he looks thin but his whole body is full of muscles, and his body is flexible, and Xiao Yuliang is very consistent with both his external image and his own quality, he was born in martial arts, his body is full of strength and flexibility, and the play is even more clean and neat, although there are few lines, he is not cold to read the lines, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and his changing eyes make him vivid.
In addition, there is also the blessing of old drama bones in the play, Wu Sanxing is Fan Ming, Huo Xiangu is Liu Xuehua, and the second uncle is Wang Jinsong, whether it is the younger generation or the older generation, the casting of the play is just right.
"Ultimate Notes" is a web drama from three years ago, but in many ways, this is a seriously underrated drama, it is gold that always shines, and truly excellent and sincere works will one day be seen by the audience.
