On December 29th, the TV series "Persona of the Apocalypse" was officially announced, and from December 30th, iQiyi will be exclusively launched. This TV series is written and directed by Lu Yang, starring Huang Xuan, Wu Yue and other actors, Zhang Rongrong as the heroine, and the story is about the Ming Dynasty during the Apocalypse, Jin Yiwei went to the northern island to "do business". 
At present, the synopsis of this "Persona of the Apocalypse" on major platforms is very simple. Through searching, the editor found a more detailed synopsis of the story, which was released by the playwright when the play was finalized, and the content of a ** draft released by the playwright was very credible: "Persona of the Apocalypse" begins with Chu Sijing (played by Huang Xuan), a hundred households in Jinyi Wei during the Apocalypse, who was ordered to go to Ningyuan City, a border place, to investigate the truth of the typhoid epidemic. Sensational rumors of "demons" and "patients being eaten by monsters" are frequent, but the local ** claims that it is only common typhoid fever and there is no abnormality. From Ningyuan City to Ninghai Fort, and then to the isolated island of Wudu Island, Chu Sijing collided with the Tatar official Boyan (played by Wu Yue), the foreign captain Anjelica (played by Zhang Rongrong) and other forces, and the investigation gradually deepened, and his situation became more and more dangerous. 
The mysterious power of the treacherous imagery and the desire to cover up the rhetoric of the crowd seem to indicate that the island of Twilight hides an unspeakable secret. The island, which is supposed to be vibrant, has a wild and polar scene, but the villagers who used to eat the sea are asked to refrain from eating fish. The island's icy and snowy terrain hides the sick spirits of the villagers, and also provides a hiding place for the "monsters" and the forces behind them. Under many obstacles, how Chu Sijing and his party will break through difficulties and approach the truth has also become one of the highlights of the series that the audience is looking forward to. It's an investigation again, and it's on the border, and in the end, what is the truth that the heroes are approaching?In the finalized trailer of this TV series, it is not explicitly stated. However, there are other clues that can be found. It is said that in this "Persona of the Apocalypse", zombies will appear, and the heroes will eventually go to the isolated island and fight zombies. 
The theme of zombies is not uncommon in the international TV drama market. Especially in Korean drama works, the zombie theme has long been an old theme, and Korean dramas fight zombies, which can be said to be fought from ancient times to modern times. In many modern urban dramas of Korean dramas, zombies can be beaten. Korean drama fans, it is not surprising that zombies are the first in modern cities, and everyone generally believes that these TV drama workers can really blow. Among our domestic drama works, there are really no zombies. At most, let's play some fantasy things, call back and forth, and finally tell the audience that these are all illusions, all fake, you can make do with it. If this time, "Persona of the Apocalypse" is really going to fight zombies, then it can be regarded as a good theme idea, and later, there will be more film and television dramas that fight zombies. 
Zombie-themed film and television dramas are actually very easy to create, and they can go hand in hand with anti-Japanese dramas. Whether it is fighting zombies or fighting Japanese criminals, in fact, it is to give the protagonists an effective enemy in the TV series, and then, around the enemy, to "fight". Many of our drama fans feel excited when they hear about fighting zombies, but it is just a variant of the excitement of anti-Japanese dramas. The screenwriter and director of the TV series "Persona of the Apocalypse" are all Lu Yang. Of course, this TV series is a group creation, and Lu Yang is just one of the screenwriters. Among the director's signatures, Lu Yang also occupies one seat, and the remaining two seats are two young directors. This work should be dominated by Lu Yang. This screenwriter and director, who once had the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series of films, is considered a relatively amazing young director talent. 
The starring roles of Huang Xuan and Wu Yue add a fighting temperament to this TV series. Huang Xuan is a young actor who can act and has fan traffic. Wu Yue is a pure martial arts actor. Especially in costume dramas, Wu Yue's style has always been very capable. With their two powerful actors in charge, this TV series must be good-looking. Martial arts, martial arts, as long as there is a fight, there will be conflicts, there are highlights, and there is no shortage of audiences. At the same time, the TV series has only a short 12 episodes. This is also something to be praised. At present, iQiyi's "Three Teams", which is being broadcast, is seriously flooded. A thing that can be told in 12 episodes, but it has to be told in 24 episodes, and it is strange if it is not filled with water. Like "Persona of the Apocalypse", a little shorter and more dry goods will win the favor of the audience. What do you think?
