It’s going to rain, and people want to chase dramas. Although the production of film and television dramas has been greatly reduced by the big environment in 2020, there are still many excellent hardcore suspense dramas, such as Hidden Corner from the perspective of children, Trident by the Economic Investigation Group for the elderly, roving inspection group that is sweeping the ratings list, and Under the Sun, which suddenly parachuted in the New Year’s Eve and launched strongly on Mango TV.
In particular, "Under the Sun" directed by Yutong Yan, starring Cai Wenjing, Liu Kai and Peng Guanying, and joined by Wang Jinsong, Feng Lei, sarina and other drama groups, is the most unique in terms of creativity and innovation. Now the plot has just started for more than a dozen episodes, and it has become a must-have drama on the Internet.
The drama can win everyone’s favor. Apart from the production and actors, the most crucial reason is that the director dares to play, not only dare to play, but also "the city will play"!
After all, Yan Yudan grew up in a military family, graduated from the law department of Fudan University, and was an expert in directing many criminal investigation dramas in CCTV. His rigorous knowledge system and rich creative experience made him disdainful of playing those proven prescribed moves, but he made a surprise attack and tried some new elements and gameplay.
For example, in terms of role setting, whether it is a hard-core chivalrous detective or a high-intelligence detective, it is all leftover buns from other people’s homes. This drama has created a pair of mixed doubles partners who seem to have nothing to do with fighting crime, and the contrast is particularly great. Ke Ying, played by Cai Wenjing, is a female teacher of a foreign language school. She is beautiful and intellectual, and she can’t see any lethality from her appearance. Xiaowu, a takeaway brother played by Liu Kai, is common in the market.
Such a pair of protagonists may not survive two episodes in other dramas, but in Under the Sun, they not only survived, but also lived like others dare not even think about it. In the first episode, on a dark night, Ke Ying encountered three Jiang Yang thieves, and the narrative rhythm of crackling broke through the plot reversal of the brain hole. With the third-party perspective played by Wang Jinsong, the whole process was deduced, making this anti-killing like a miracle.
If the image of the hero and heroine has knocked over the red tape of the genre drama, then the villain can be called shocking. The overbearing president Feng Xiaosheng and Jiang Yang Avenue Shen Shijie are strangely combined, played by a powerful actor, Peng Guanying. One second, he is a desperate parkour, and the next second, he has been standing on the stage and attracted a lot of attention. The seemingly gentle Feng Xiaosheng is secretly scared with the eyes of hidden evil spirits. This strange style of painting has broken through the conventional logic.
On the one hand, the beauty teacher’s version of "Complex Gold" and the villain’s version of "Chasing the Murder at White Night" were in high energy from the beginning. Shen Shijie, who became the voice of Feng Xiao, angered and killed the tip of the knife, revealing his bloodthirsty nature. Xiao Wu was like a tiger, and he was constantly in danger in the dangerous zone between black and white. Ke Ying was determined to find out the truth in his own way and use his beauty and wisdom to dance on the tip of the devil’s knife.
As an emotional suspense drama, Under the Sun dares to make the emotional relationship and drama conflict of the characters to the extreme. On the basis of hard-core suspense, it dares to try new ways of playing that no one dared to play before, both in terms of innovation and experience. Its appearance has made a good start for domestic dramas in 2021. I hope that from now on, there will be more and more good dramas, so that every day will be there.
