The characters in "Insidious" have prototypes, and its structure is to hang stories on historical nails. Although history is just a nail, it is very solid and permeates the plot everywhere.
The script is based on Shen Zui's memoir "Inside the Military Reunion", which basically reflects the panoramic view of the military reunification, monitoring, arrests, searches, interrogations, corruption eradication, post-war takeover, internal fighting among the military reunification factions, and the impact on lower-level institutions. Spread, military control and the relationship between the military.
Therefore, what makes this drama attractive and worthy of repeated scrutiny by professionals is that many details have been truly restored. In the interlocking and thunderous lines, almost every short paragraph has a historical wedge.
Of course, the script still depends on the characters, and the performance adds to the characters.
The inner world of a multi-faceted agent like Yu Zecheng, who is "heavy-minded but not ruthless", is closely related to meticulousness, loyalty, confusion, bitterness, and forbearance.
If you want to continue to lurk, you must "hide all your sharp edges and deliver a blow invisibly." This kind of measured control is tantamount to walking a tightrope against Mount Tai.
Yu Zecheng, as portrayed by Liu Qingshan, is a gentle young man who has lost all his gangsterism and domineering attitude. He is a weakling who does not fight for courage but only for wits!
But his performance was really impeccable.
The way he looks and moves, and the way he is cautious and pretends to be sincere when he speaks, he is clearly a weakling, a person who is trying to survive in the cracks.
He subverted the audience's perception of him. This is plastic surgery acting.
In fact, for Liu Qingshan, who is used to playing arrogant and domineering characters, the restrained and tolerant Yu Zecheng is a very big challenge.
He had the courage to break through and staged a wonderful spy drama with Dayao, which not only broadened his acting career, but also created a real TV series.
This can be verified from the unabashed look in Shi Hui's face after watching two episodes.
Liu Qingshan knew what kind of woman Shi Hui was, a talkative, gossip-loving, good at surfing the Internet, a post-modern woman with a gender preference for men, a straightforward personality and a bit of vanity.
This type of character is supposed to only like to watch some Mary Sue dramas, no matter how romantic dramas with a bit of domineering CEO content. If she is allowed to watch TV dramas with a little depth on the TV, it will probably be harder than killing her.
Such a woman actually watched the first two episodes of "Latent" without blinking. From this, it can be judged that his previous knowledge of her was not absolute.
Just looking at her with eyes full of admiration, Liu Qingshan felt goosebumps all over his body: "I said Shi Hui, is it okay for you? You can't bear this kind of look from me!"
Shi Hui let out a disappointed sigh, "But you did a great job in this drama. Even me, the rotten girl like Sister Xi Shan, almost fell in love with this movie!"
"Why do you say almost?"
"That's because you starred! Don't forget that the prerequisite for working with you is your fans. My idol can have such an outstanding performance. As a die-hard fan, of course I will be the happiest. Of course, that is the drama You are in it, otherwise I would never watch a spy drama if it were anyone else!"
Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up: "You said that most female fans also hold the same views as you, right?"
"Of course! I'm the boss behind Qingshan Bar, and I know how those little girls feel too well!"
"Although this reason is not something to be proud of, I hope you will post your thoughts online immediately!"
"I know what to do next without you having to tell me! Bye bye, I'm going to work!"
The next day, the market response to "Latent" was completely detonated.
There are no big productions or big scenes, just a few streets and a few old houses. The filming of "Insidious" was completed in only 48 days, but it set off the hottest ratings boom this year.
The average ratings of the national television series exceeded 4 in two episodes, with a maximum of 4.9. It shocked all practitioners when it debuted.
You must know that breaking 3 is already a phenomenal ratings, and since the 1990s, no drama has ever achieved such dazzling results from the first episode.
National TV eight sets
It was broadcast at 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, and it also had a ratings of no less than 4.
As soon as these three data came out, the major media, especially those in the north, went completely crazy that afternoon.
Even in people's daily lives throughout the day, the most common saying is "If you haven't watched "Insidious", it's better to move to Mars, because you will have no common language with the people around you."
This description is of course an exaggeration, but it is enough for people to appreciate the overwhelming power of "Insidious", but the fire of "Insidious" goes far beyond that.
Qiandu has an entry for "Yu Zecheng", and the top title of this entry is "He shows a new depth of humanity."
The explanation of the entry is - one of the key characters in the 30-episode TV series "Insidious".
Originally a field officer for Chongqing's military command, Yu Zecheng decided to secretly join our party because of his loss of trust in the corrupt Kuomintang government and the influence of his fiancée Zuo Lan.
There is a big note at the back - only two episodes have been aired so far, and the content is being updated at any time.
A well-known literary and art critic in China made it clear in a certain state media: One of the laws of art is that "you can only pick jelly grass from the cliff." Yu Zecheng is the man walking on the edge of the cliff. He is in a whirlpool, with people around him fighting with each other, and it is already difficult to gain a foothold... This drama will be a historical drama that perfectly integrates faith, strategy, mission, and love, and is another masterpiece of Liu Qingshan .
Someone wrote about it just two episodes after it aired, and surprisingly it was even published in the newspaper.
Netizens on the professional film review website "Huaban.com" commented: "Insidious" is the best spy drama in history that cannot be missed.
There is also a comment on the homepage of the official website of the Film and Television Drama Association - the real historical events and characters that often appear in "Latent" have unknowingly given the audience a desire to peek into history. This will probably set off a new wave of creation of historical themes of the same period.
Various interviews with the actors and creators of "Insidious" have appeared in newspapers and on the Internet.
Xiangjiang's Dragon and Phoenix TV even opened an exclusive interview column specifically for this drama, and found some experts to talk about the historical background in the drama.
"Latent" became popular so quickly, so fiercely, and so incredibly. In fact, upon careful analysis, it is inevitable.
That is a good plot structure of the script, a good spiritual core, plus a good cast, it is difficult to think about it or not.
First of all, it can be said that the script of "Insidious" not only has twists and turns, but also is basically logically reasonable and does not fool the audience's IQ.
Although many domestic spy dramas are very successful in character creation, some basic plot designs are sometimes unacceptable.
It was originally a stage design that the audience would find very retarded, but from the director's point of view, it became a highlight in a majestic way.
To put it bluntly, this kind of plot design insults the audience's IQ, so how can it get good ratings?
Perhaps, many viewers are mentally retarded because of a certain plot design of this TV series, and suddenly lost confidence in this TV series.
Spy dramas are different from other life-style TV dramas. Parents can be a little unreasonable, and the audience may be able to accept it.
However, audiences who generally like spy dramas are those who have high requirements for details and logic. Therefore, the plot design of the script must be able to pass the audience's intelligence level and must not be fooled.
Secondly, the TV series "Latent" captures a current hot spot - contemporary people's lack of faith and unwilling pursuit.
Many people may feel that they lack faith and have no spiritual pursuits, but they are unwilling to live a mediocre life.
How to draw spiritual power from literary, film and television works, and use faith support to give yourself the courage to live, this is the original intention of many people who like this TV series.
In the subsequent parts of this drama, more and more positive and negative characters will appear. They all have their own beliefs and are loyal to their beliefs.
Even though Li Ya was a big villain, he still believed that the "party state" would "recover" Tianjin until his death. Although this was a stubborn and stupid persistence,
It also makes it feel real to the audience.
There is no need to go into details about the good cast. As far as the two episodes aired are concerned, there are almost no acting flaws in them, and everyone's acting skills are on the line.
Even the secret agent character who died after appearing for a moment did not appear to be perfunctory or amateurish in his short appearance.
Cuiping, who will only appear at the end of the fourth season, is actually the beginning of the exciting part of the whole drama. The two people's rivalry is so exciting that it can be said that they are matched with each other.
Sure enough, that night, the updated content had arrived. Yu Zecheng returned to Jiangcheng as a hero. He received awards and promotions, and was entrusted with an important task by Director Dai Li - he was sent to the Tianjin Station of the Military Unification Bureau to assist Station Director Wu Jingzhong in his work. .
This person was also his teacher in the Qingpu spy training class. Yu Zecheng has gone from being a hero in punishing traitors in the military to becoming a pioneer of our party in the military.
At this time, the top military officials were busy amassing money from all directions. The greedy and cunning Wu Jingzhong regarded his former student Yu Ze as a close confidant and sent him to work as a lobbyist and put pressure on Han Jie Mu Liancheng's house.
At the same time, Yu Zecheng also discovered that Ma Kui, who assassinated Lu Zongfang, also served in the Tianjin Station of the Military Command. However, he doubted Yu Zecheng's true identity and began to investigate secretly.
Facing pressure from many sides, Yu Zecheng was surrounded by enemies. At this moment, Shopkeeper Qiu received news that something was wrong with the fake wife assigned to him by the organization.
Yu Zecheng was extremely anxious. In order to completely eliminate the enemy's suspicion of Yu Zecheng, the organization decided to replace him on the spot and send another fake lady to Tianjin to live with Yu Zecheng and assist Yu Zecheng in his work.
At this time, Cuiping, played by Dayao, made a gorgeous appearance. As soon as he appeared, he messed up Yu Zecheng's life. The fourth episode ended with bursts of laughter from the audience.
Many comments came in and praised their early scenes showing the conflicts between husband and wife. Facts have also proved that choosing the right actors is crucial to the success of a TV series.
At this time, the ratings also reached an average of over 5, and the highest was a terrifying figure of 5.8, which shocked everyone.
At this point, a magical drama was born. Such good data made the drama appear in the "Lianbo News" that night. Although it was only a few seconds of the announcer's dictation, it had already proved its unstoppable rise.
