November 1, 2018.
On a fairly ordinary day, at eight o'clock in the evening, "The Beginning" was launched on Youdou on time with the expectation of a lot of people.
It will premiere with 6 episodes and will be updated with two episodes every Tuesday and Wednesday. The finale is expected to be released on December 4.
It can be said that "The Beginning" is the end of Blue Star's online drama market.
Of course, this is the beginning of Xuchuan’s online drama investment.
As the heroine of this drama, Wu Yunfei naturally stayed at home on time, using a computer and a projector to watch this TV series in which she played the heroine for the first time like a movie.
The title began to play, and barrages appeared. Wu Yunfei didn't know how many people were watching online at the same time, but judging from the number of barrages, there must be a lot of people.
At this time, the content of the barrage made Wu Yunfei laugh uncontrollably.
[This title of an idol drama? 】
[What about the freshness you promised? What about the sweet love you promised? 】
[If you tell me the title of this criminal investigation drama now, I will believe it]
The opening title of "The Beginning" is a set of animations, and the entire tone is dark. This is obviously not the opening title of an idol drama.
When the main film started to play, Wu Yunfei's narration sounded along with the screen.
"I want to call the police! There is a bomb on the No. 45 bus, and they are about to drive onto the cross-river bridge."
"Jia A77651, you have to stop the car quickly. There are other passengers in the car."
"I just got out of the car, but there were still passengers in the car and the bomb was still in the car."
"About seven or eight, I can't tell you exactly, but you have to stop the car quickly, it's too late!"
"My name is Li Shiqing, and my contact information is this mobile phone number..."
Along with Wu Yunfei's narration, shots of buses, private cars carrying children, oil tankers, and takeaway boys were shown one by one. This can be regarded as explaining what needs to be explained immediately.
But the audience was a little confused.
[No, is it really a criminal investigation drama? There are bombs in the car? 】
[I know, Brother Chuan is a policeman, he took the heroine to investigate the case, and then fell in love]
[Good guy, are you giving away spoilers right now? 】
[Have the plots of idol dramas evolved to the police side? 】
[Hasn’t it evolved to this point a long time ago? Now a drama has to fall in love]
Seeing these barrages, Wu Yunfei couldn't help but curl her lips. She hoped to fall in love with the policeman played by Xu Chuan, but Xu Chuan was an uncle in the play.
The progress bar moved backward amidst the discussion of the audience.
Before the audience had time to react, the bus suddenly exploded.
The subtitles of the first episode were accompanied by the infinity symbol.
Many viewers were immediately confused.
[Holy shit, this is going to explode? 】
[Is it so big at the beginning? 】
[How can Brother Chuan take her to investigate the case without blowing it up, so it must be blown up]
[What you said makes sense]
Before the audience could react, the scene changed again. Li Shiqing, played by Wu Yunfei, woke up from the bus sweating profusely. Xiao Heyun, played by Li Fei, also woke up next to her. Seeing her sweating profusely, he wanted to give her something. A piece of paper, but his elbow accidentally touched her sensitive part.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shiqing came up with various excuses to hope that the driver would make a U-turn or stop the car.
Finally, Li Shiqing got out of the car successfully and pulled Xiao Heyun out of the car.
The barrage at this time was full of question marks, and there was an endless stream of barrages criticizing Li Shiqing. Words like "social giant baby" and "slandering others" were spat out for free.
From here we can actually see that some viewers have very poor patience.
In many cases, there are some unreasonable things in literary and artistic works, and perhaps there will be an explanation in the next second.
But they couldn't wait for the next second at all.
Especially Xu Chuan's anti-fans, they are now climaxing on the spot.
[Which idiot wrote this plot? 】
[Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore, it’s poisoning me to death]
[It’s so toxic at the beginning, can you still watch it next? 】
Seeing these barrages, Wu Yunfei couldn't help but frown. She picked up her phone and wanted to use the trumpet to send some barrages to refute.
But after typing for a long time, she deleted each word one by one.
Because she remembered Xu Chuan told her not to take it too seriously when facing these public opinions.
Of course, these barrages did not affect the enthusiasm of most viewers for watching the drama.
The plot continues.
After Xiao Heyun cursed that Li Shiqing had a brain problem, he took a taxi and left. Then the bus exploded and Li Shiqing was hit by a motorcycle and was immediately sent to the hospital.
Because Li Shiqing hit her head on the ground, the doctor said she had a slight concussion. However, because Li Shiqing has experienced the cycle, she now suspects that she has other problems with her brain.
After asking the doctor and finding out that everything was fine, I felt relieved a little, but there were still tons of doubts in my mind.
At the same time, Xiao Heyun was blown up so darkly that he couldn't survive it.
The audience was completely confused when they saw this.
[I remember Li Fei didn’t write the starring role in the title? Was it blown up like this when you came up? 】
[No, what is going on in this plot? 】
[Brothers, is there something wrong with my memory or something is wrong with this show? Isn’t this show an idol drama? 】
[Obviously, this is a criminal investigation suspense drama. The idol drama was told by Jing Xiaowu. He was deceiving everyone before]
[No, where is Brother Chuan? Why doesn’t Brother Chuan show up? 】
Amid the discussion of the audience, the screen switched again and the camera turned to the accident scene.
Du Ju, who was "preparing for a drug test", Zhang Cheng, played by Xu Chuan, and his apprentice Xiao Jiang appeared at the same time.
In the conversation between the three people, they explained the cause of the accident, saying that the bus delivery staff forced the bus to hit the oil tanker and exploded.
Xiao Jiang also explained here that there were originally 9 passengers in the car plus the driver, a total of 10 people, but now there were only eight bodies.
It's like saying that two people are missing out of thin air.
From this, the police found Li Shiqing who was still in the hospital.
At this point in the plot, basically all the main characters of the show have appeared.
But the barrage at this time made Wu Yunfei laugh.
[Where is Brother Chuan? You haven’t come out yet, it’s been playing for fifteen minutes]
[Yeah, we’re already a third of the way through the plot, why don’t you show up yet? 】
[I know, Brother Chuan is the villain, he blew up the car]
[In the river, in the Ganges]
"Hahahahaha." Wu Yunfei really couldn't stand it anymore. Xu Chuan in the play really didn't look like him in normal times, but if you knew it was Xu Chuan, you could still tell it was him.
Just like the King of Han in "The Ming Dynasty" on earth, if I didn't know in advance that it was played by Yu Haoming, I would have had to watch it more to realize it.
The audience at this time has a habit of thinking. They have just broken away from the habit of idol dramas. How could they imagine that Zhang Cheng was played by Xu Chuan.
Moreover, the scene where Zhang Cheng appeared at the accident scene was not too long.
However, some attentive viewers discovered the clues.
They sent barrages saying, "Wait a minute, why does this old policeman look so familiar?" 】
【It does look familiar】
[Damn, why do you look a bit like Brother Chuan? 】
[Not to mention, it looks a bit similar]
Amid this discussion, the plot continued to advance. Xiao Jiang and another young policeman came to the hospital to question Li Shiqing.
But at this time, due to a slight concussion, Li Shiqing's mind was completely confused, and naturally she was talking about this and that.
This made Xiao Jiang very angry. Those were eight human lives. Li Shiqing was talking nonsense here?
Just when the inquiry reached a deadlock, Xu Chuan appeared again, wearing a navy blue POLO shirt and walking in with a small leather bag under his arm.
He stood at the bedside, looked at Li Shiqing and said gently: "You are Li Shiqing. I am the deputy captain of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment. My name is Zhang Cheng."
"Don't be nervous, let's talk slowly." After saying that, he sat down.
The camera at this time shows a close-up shot of Zhang Cheng, so the audience can see his face more clearly.
Then the number of barrages increased significantly.
[Brothers, am I dazzled? Why do I feel that this Zhang Chengcheng is Brother Chuan? 】
[It seems like it’s really Brother Chuan]
【? ? ? ? ? 】
Seeing this, many people immediately quit and started searching on the Internet for the actor who played Zhang Cheng in "The Beginning".
In fact, there is no need to search on the Internet, you can get the answer directly on the details page of this drama.
In the character column, Xu Chuan, who did not appear before, has finally been updated. In the updated information, it is clearly written that Xu Chuan plays Zhang Cheng.
After this information was confirmed, many viewers were immediately confused.
【What the hell? Is it really Brother Chuan? 】
[Oh my god, it’s outrageous, it’s outrageous, it’s too outrageous]
[Brother Chuan is only in his twenties, isn't he? Why does he look like he is forty or fifty in the drama? 】
[Oh my God, Xu Chuan’s acting skills are so good? If you hadn’t told me I wouldn’t have been able to react at all]
[Acting is one thing, makeup is another, this makeup is really awesome]
[Brothers, I burst into tears. I suddenly remembered that Brother Chuan spent 30 yuan on makeup when he responded to the online violence video. Now, the makeup in this drama is worth 20,000 yuan. Isn’t this too natural? 】
"Who are you scolding? Who pays 30 yuan for makeup?" When this barrage crossed the screen, Lin Mengying, who was also watching the first episode in a hotel in Chengdu, couldn't help it.
She helped Xu Chuan put on that makeup. At that time, some people said that the makeup was ugly and that anyone over 30 would be considered extortion.
Unexpectedly, after so long, the memory of the dead suddenly started to bite.
At the same time, colleagues watching the show are also confused.
"I knew things were not that simple. How could Xu Chuan be guessed by Jing Xiaowu about what he was going to do."
"Not to mention Jing Xiaowu, who would have guessed that a young man like him wouldn't play the male lead in an idol drama well, but would instead play an old policeman. The character of this policeman must be twenty years older than he is, right?"
"Damn it, this show is completely packed with just one of his stunts."
"He is really capable of handling his job, even acting in a web drama. He is really not afraid of overturning!"
"It is impossible for a car to roll over. When he first appeared at the accident scene without being recognized, his role was already successful."
"Xu Chuanshang is a hot search."
As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone inside took out their mobile phones and started browsing Weibo.
The entry #Xuchuan plays forty-year-old old policeman was directly listed on the hot search list. Judging from the trend, it will not be long before it reaches the top of the hot search list.
Many netizens who have not watched the show were instinctively stunned when they saw this entry.
Immediately afterwards there was a wave of resistance.
In their opinion, isn't this just messing around?
You Xu Chuan plays a 40-year-old policeman?
can you act?
You know you don't have this ability, but I advise you to play a suitable young role with your true self and clarify the concept of acting first.
But when they clicked on the entry and saw the pictures and video clips inside, they immediately realized that they were wrong.
Damn it, Xu Chuan can say 50 like this.
No, does Xu Chuan look so old?
Could it be that this is what he really looks like?
Does he usually wear makeup when he appears in public? Does he look younger after wearing makeup?
Is it possible that Zhang Cheng is Xu Chuan without makeup?
At the same time, the "Beginning" account on Douishou was finally willing to release a trailer and some behind-the-scenes footage.
The high-definition videos posted on Weibo were actually released by the crew of "The Beginning".
The first focus of the drama promotion is to focus on Xu Chuan's sense of age contrast.
Various discussions gradually became heated, but most people were still obsessed with the plot.
The real discussion may have to wait until six episodes are finished.
On the screen, when Xu Chuan told Li Shiqing that he had been a criminal police officer for almost 20 years and had seen everything, then Li Shiqing gave Xu Chuan a time when she encountered a ghost and hit a wall.
The audience burst into laughter at that time.
[Zhang Cheng: I have been a criminal police officer for almost 20 years and I have seen everything. Damn it, this is the first time I have heard of this.]
[Hahahaha, Brother Chuan will not be able to fix it all of a sudden]
[As I said before, I came here with the mentality of watching an idol drama, but now all the ghosts are out? 】
[From idol dramas to criminal investigation dramas, now it has become a fantasy drama. Brother Chuan deserves to be a writer of online articles, and his imagination is huge]
[The plot is quite interesting, brothers]
[Wu Yunfei is also pretty good-looking]
The barrage moved forward along with the progress bar, and soon it reached a key point in the first episode that showed Zhang Cheng's keenness, and also showed the biggest difference between Zhang Cheng, the old detective, and the young detective.
On the screen, Li Shiqing said: "That time, I witnessed with my own eyes the entire process of the bus hitting the oil tanker."
"Tell me about it." Xu Chuan raised his eyes and said.
"Maybe the driver was anxious to drop me off at the next stop, so he drove very fast at the start. At this time, a takeaway truck rushed out from the right."
Li Shiqing's voice appeared along with the explosion scene.
At this time, the audience who saw this did not actually realize that anything was wrong.
Because everyone is from God’s perspective.
But the beauty of the design of "The Beginning" is that it allows the audience to react quickly through Zhang Cheng's behavior. From the police's perspective, Li Shiqing should not know this.
She got out of the car early, how could she know that there was a takeaway truck on site?
In this moment, Zhang Cheng's sharp characteristics can be created, and the setting of an old detective is instantly established in the bones, not on the surface.
You know, the personnel settings for this profession in many dramas are really stupid. Many characters with high IQs only talk about their high IQs and never reflect them in their actions.
In the picture, when Xu Chuan heard this, his eyes were a little surprised at first, then he looked at Li Shiqing searchingly, and then said calmly: "Wait for me, I will come in right away."
After saying that, he came outside and asked the young police whether they had told Li Shiqing the details of the accident.
After learning that there was no such thing, he asked him to check the possibility that Li Shiqing had seen relevant news reports during this period.
At this point, the charm of Zhang Cheng's character has also been initially revealed.
Apparently, the audience thought so too.
[Brothers, why do you suddenly feel that Brother Chuan is so handsome at this age? 】
[Yes, that moment just now was really charming]
Wu Yunfei, who is watching the drama, obviously thinks so too. She thought it was handsome when she was acting, but now that she sees it from a third perspective, she feels even more handsome.
Of course, she wants to tell the audience that there will be more handsome people behind her.
Too bad she can't spoil it.
She could only hold the trumpet and keep swiping "Brother Chuan is so handsome"
The plot continued. Xu Chuan returned to the ward and sat down again. After a conversation, he lowered his eyes and concluded: "According to you, you have been circling on the bus."
This line clearly clarifies the theme of the play. It is impossible to describe Li Shiqing's experience as a ghost hitting the wall all the time in the play.
"Loop?" Li Shiqing looked thoughtful after hearing this, and then said quickly as if she had found recognition, "Yes, it is a loop, I just keep looping."
Faced with Li Shiqing's words, Xu Chuan said the classic lines of the play.
He scratched his chin and thought about the words: "Have you had this symptom before, or did you just have it today?"
As soon as this was said, the audience burst into laughter.
【"symptom"】
[Hahahahahaha, how long have your symptoms lasted?]
[The old detective speaks euphemistically]
[Did you have a brain problem before, or did you suddenly have a brain problem today?]
[I didn’t agree with her discharge from the hospital at the beginning. Look, is there something wrong now? 】
When Li Shiqing heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Then she realized it and explained quickly: "No, no, I thought I was crazy at first, but... I... I asked the doctor, and she said My mind is fine.
I got up normally in the morning, and then I went to class, and then I got on the bus, and from the bus..."
At this point, she couldn't speak any more.
Xu Chuan, who was opposite him, looked at her with a complicated expression and said nothing.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shiqing, whose head was wrapped in gauze, showed a doubtful expression about life, and said with a sense of grievance in her eyes and tone: "How about I go check it out again."
The audience, who were already bursting with laughter, couldn't hold back anymore after seeing this.
[Hahahahaha, tragic and funny at the same time]
[Treat the little girl to lose her confidence]
[Hahahaha, Wu Yunfei is so cute]
The plot progressed to this point. Jiang Feng called Zhang Cheng, Xiao Heyun went offline, and Zhang Cheng left the ward and told him to find a female police officer to take charge of Li Shiqing.
The scene changed again, and Xiao Heyun woke up from the bus in shock, gasping for air.
"This dream is too real."
Then he saw Li Shiqing sitting next to him, and his eyes widened.
The audience reacted at this time.
He also went into the loop.
【Is this the end? 】
[Damn it, it’s not enough to watch]
[Next episode, hurry up to the next episode]
Soon, the second episode was also played. The story line of this episode reached Xiao Heyun. He experienced the cycle for the first time and wanted to get off.
After experiencing several explosions, Xiao Heyun finally became numb.
Soon, the two of them worked together and finally prevented the bus from hitting the oil tanker and successfully drove onto the bridge.
At this time, the audience and the two protagonists realized at the same time that the explosion was not caused by hitting the oil tanker, but because there was a bomb in the car.
At this point, the plot will be halfway through.
In one and a half episodes, there is already an overwhelming amount of plot information.
It made the audience happy.
The episode ends with the two replaying the cycle in the park.
In the third episode, the two were taken to the police station.
In this episode, another famous scene of Zhang Cheng in this drama is shown again.
In the interrogation room, Xu Chuan said to Li Shiqing in a seductive manner: "Li Shiqing, I have listened to your alarm call many times, and I can tell that your tone is very urgent.
I hope the police can defuse the explosion in time, and I hope the explosion will not happen. I can feel that you have a heavy psychological burden.
Tell me, what are you worried about? "
Faced with Xu Chuan's words, Li Shiqing did not answer.
So Xu Chuan continued: "When we found you in Qingshui Park, I saw you were very nervous. Why?"
After saying this, Li Shiqing said, "Officer Zhang, can I ask you a question?"
When Xu Chuan heard this, he picked up the tea cup and said, "Of course, you tell me."
"After you received my call to call the police, did you take it seriously and call the police immediately?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan, who was drinking water, answered very naturally with a teacup in his hand: "After receiving the call from the police, we immediately chose to dispatch the police, but for us, the time was too short..."
When he said this, Xu Chuan suddenly stopped.
The camera slowly zooms in and music sounds.
At this time, Xu Chuan's head lowered slightly, his eyes seemed to be recalling and thinking.
When the camera zoomed in closer, he raised his slightly lowered head, with a questioning and slightly suspicious look in his eyes.
Facing Li Shiqing and also asking the audience through the camera: "How do you know my surname is Zhang?"
To be honest, when Xu Chuan saw this scene for the first time, he was really amazed by the characters of Liu Yijun and Zhang Cheng.
How Xu Chuan felt at the beginning is how Blue Star's audience feels now.
【What the hell? Brother Chuan’s look is amazing】
[Doubtful about life, he doubts about life]
[As expected of the old detective’s keenness]
"When I met you in Qingshui Park, only Xiao Jiang showed you his police officer ID. I never introduced myself to you from beginning to end. How did you know that my surname was Zhang?"
The scene turned and turned to Xiao Heyun again.
Soon, it turned back.
"Li Shiqing, can you tell me how you knew my surname was Zhang?"
Li Shiqing hesitated after hearing this, but she still said, "You told me yourself."
"When did I tell you?"
Afterwards, Li Shiqing began to talk about her memories in the hospital.
"I was hit by a motorcycle that time and had a bit of a concussion. I vomited at that time. You still wanted to give me water. You wanted to twist the bottle cap on me with your right hand, but you couldn't seem to find the strength."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Chuan's eyes stared blankly at Li Shiqing.
But his right hand moved from the table to under the table.
According to Xu Chuan's understanding of Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng would not believe in any bullshit cycle. His only idea was that Li Shiqing knew her surname was Zhang in advance.
As for why he knew that his right hand could not exert force, there are two possibilities. One is that he knew it in advance, and the other was through what Li Shiqing observed during the questioning.
No matter what the situation is, in Zhang Cheng's eyes, Li Shiqing has now been upgraded to an extremely dangerous criminal suspect.
Therefore, Xu Chuan's attitude naturally became harsh and serious at this time.
But the audience will not analyze Zhang Cheng's psychological activities like Xu Chuan did.
The barrage at this time was very joyful.
[Hahaha, I’m numb, Officer Zhang is numb]
[When you doubt life, you really doubt about life]
[Officer Zhang’s worldview collapsed]
[Brother Chuan’s emoticon package has new ones, brothers]
Later, Li Shiqing told Zhang Cheng 9 more times about the cycle. At this time, Xu Chuan felt a bit numb during the performance. He was harsh just now, but after listening to it later, he felt like he couldn't figure it out.
It was at this time that another famous line of the play appeared.
"Prepare for the drug test." Director Du said while sitting in front of the monitor.
The third episode ends quickly.
The fourth episode explained the reason why Lao Zhang's hand was injured, and Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing also began to analyze who brought the bomb.
At the same time, this cycle allows two people to get off directly at Yanjiang East Road Station.
In this case, Li Shiqing still chose to call the police.
But Xiao Heyun didn't want to call the police. He felt that he could get off the car normally and there was no need to get involved.
As a result, the two had a dispute in the park.
It was when seeing this that some viewers of "I Am an Actor" suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
[Brothers, why do I think I have seen this scene somewhere? 】
[It does look familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere.]
[I’m afraid you’ve also entered the loop, hahahahaha]
[No, is there this scene in "I Am an Actor"? 】
[It seems like eh, although the lines are different, the setting is the same, a temporary assessment by Li Fei and Wu Yunfei]
[When you said this, I suddenly realized that many of the actors here are contestants in "I Am an Actor"]
[When the linkage started, I said how could Brother Chuan’s variety show not be alive? It turned out that he was still alive and hiding here]
The colleagues who were watching also suddenly reacted.
"Good guy, is Xu Chuan treating "I Am an Actor" as the casting site for "The Beginning"?"
"Then why not choose those popular young actors? What happened to the ones who were eliminated?"
"Those actors are not as good as this actor. Xu Chuan never considers popularity. He has the ability to make people famous."
"Damn, although it sounds very unpleasant to hear this, the reality seems to be like this."
Is Li Fei famous?
This is a bad review. Many people know him, but they can't say they like him and are fans of him.
His highlight moment has yet to come.
Even during this period, many people hated him.
At the moment, Xu Chuan and Wu Yunfei are the two people talking the loudest on the Internet.
The plot continues, the police took Li Shiqing away from the park.
Xiaojiang got on the bus in this episode and was killed by a bomb.
The great enemy Liu Peng appears.
Xiao Heyun saw the news of Jiang Feng's sacrifice online and was shocked. He was also a kind and brave person in essence, but he was more realistic than Li Shiqing.
In the interrogation room, Zhang Cheng, played by Xu Chuan, was recognized by Li Shiqing again.
Wait until the fifth episode.
When Xiao Heyun bought liquor and drank melatonin together, he lay in the alley and said to Xu Chuan: "Old Zhang, why did you call the police? You are not in the cycle, why did you call the police?
The life of the police is also life. You believe Li Shiqing's nonsense. You are really good. "
The audience really couldn't stand it when they saw this.
[Zhang Cheng: Why does the whole world know me? 】
[Zhang Cheng: Why don’t you give me a drug test? I might be hallucinating]
[Three sentences to warm Lao Zhang all day long]
[I don’t want to believe it either, but they call me Lao Zhang]
[It seems that twenty years of experience is not very useful]
Also in this episode, the story line of Cat Apostle Ludy also appeared.
In the sixth episode, it is still Ludy's story line. If you tell others about recycling, they will think you are crazy. If you tell him about recycling, he will be very excited.
Moreover, Ludy is a very smart person, and he deceives people in all kinds of ways in the police station.
The sixth episode ends with Lao Zhang doubting the relationship between the three of them.
All six episodes of the first broadcast have now been played.
The average episode is 45 minutes, so it takes less than five hours to watch six episodes.
It premiered at 8 o'clock, and after watching these six episodes in a row, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.
One o'clock in the morning is still far from bedtime for many night owls.
Moreover, the excitement of "The Beginning" has given many people countless desires to share it.
At this time, various topics about "The Beginning" have exploded on the Internet.
(End of chapter)
