On the evening of December 30, the TV series "Persona of the Apocalypse" was launched on iQiyi in 3 episodes. This TV series starring Huang Xuan and Wu Yue. Judging from the plot content currently online, it should become a hit drama in the near future. Why?Because of the current TV series, it is rare to put "story" in the first place, and this "Persona of the Apocalypse" is a work that respects the principle of storytelling of TV dramas.
There are true stories and fake stories. For example, the "Three Teams" that is being broadcast must respect the principle of "true story" - the main story line is real, the characters' behavioral motivations also need to be real, and the story twist needs to meet the requirements of reality. Such a "true story" is not easy to write. Therefore, the TV series "The Three Teams" hit the street because of nonsense.
For example, there are also fake stories. We have a lot of traffic dramas, fantasy dramas, immortal cultivation dramas, etc., all of which are typical fake stories, as soon as they come up, they clearly inform the audience that our drama is made up nonsense, you can just watch the fun if you come to see reality and reality. This kind of drama, generally no one is more serious.
There is another kind of story, and that is fiction based on reality. "Persona of the Apocalypse" is a typical example of this. It is based on the history of the construction of the northern border defense line of the Ming Dynasty, including the Ming Dynasty's imperial court operation system and so on - for example, the system of Jinyiwei. These are real, and it is easy for the audience to feel that the next story is real. However, the next story is fictional and strange.
After the foundation of historical truth is established, this TV series can be fictionalized. When we were children, many old people told stories in a way like "Persona of the Apocalypse". Therefore, I estimate that many viewers will have a familiar taste when they watch this TV series - isn't this the story of the strange power and chaos told by my grandmother under the moon. Yes, don't hesitate, this TV series is a story of strange powers, and it is okay to call it a "ghost story".
As soon as the actor arrived in Liaodong, there was a bunch of suspense content waiting for him, all of which were suspenseful, which made the audience very puzzled, and they were especially looking forward to how to uncover the mystery later. I assert that after the mystery of this TV series is finally revealed, there must be a part of the mystery brought by "zombies". Of course, there have been no zombies in our domestic dramas for the time being, and this TV series may be replaced by monsters or "aliens" and so on
Remember, the mystery of this TV series, zombies are only one part, and the other part must be the chaos brought about by the civil strife in the court of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, this is from fiction to hard realism. This kind of "striving for realism" is not real realism, but it is just using the content of the court to bless the fictional part, so that the fictional part looks and sounds quite real. Storytelling is to make what is false and true, so that the audience and audience can believe it.
How to turn a fake into a true is a test of the ability of the storyteller (screenwriter). The biggest feature of storytelling in the TV series "Persona of the Apocalypse" is that it tells it with a straight face and a serious face. The advantage of this kind of ** is that the narrator is too serious, and the audience has to be serious. Stones of other mountains. Ghost stories must be startled, laughing and laughing, and it is estimated that the audience will not be able to participate in it.
Persona of the Apocalypse" is a way of telling stories with a straight face, which is worth learning from many young screenwriters. A TV series that fights monsters and zombies is not serious enough, however, as long as the narrator is serious enough, the audience will also bring it in, and they will also feel that this TV series is real, and everyone can even be immersive.
In terms of shooting, Lu Yang's picture sense is still very good. This kind of shooting is also deliberately looking for suspense and thriller elements. Therefore, in the beginning of this TV series, there was a lot of night scene content. The big sun is underground, and it is easy to weaken the sense of suspenseful power. The darker the picture, the more foggy it becomes. In other words, this "Persona of the Apocalypse" seems to be more suitable for the Misty Theater.
Huang Xuan's performance is also aimed at seriousness. Huang Xuan is a good actor, he can perform seriously and with a smile. This time, in "Persona of the Apocalypse", he has a serious look. In this story, the more serious the male protagonist, the easier it is for the audience to "fall into the trap". Therefore, if the play is successful, half of the credit can be given to Huang Xuan.
Wu Yue's performance is similar to Niu Gao to Yue Fei. Yue Fei is very serious, so he needs to have a funny person by his side. This kind of role matching relationship is also similar to the relationship between Jiang Wen's character and Ge You's character in "Let the Bullets Fly". Wu Yue in "Persona of the Apocalypse", the task of the surface scene is to amuse, so that the audience is not too serious, and at the same time, when the development of the plot encounters difficulties, he will help.
Zhang Rongrong, I'm sorry, I can't appreciate this look, especially in the play. "Persona of the Apocalypse" uses Zhang Rongrong, which is probably because he fell in love with Zhang Rongrong's strange appearance. Give a different look to increase the highlights of this kind of TV series. Therefore, "Persona of the Apocalypse" is all about looking good. This is a typical fast-paced business drama with a strong story. It's capable of fire. (Wen Ma Qingyun).
