On the 24th, "The Battle of Shushan" announced that it would be exclusively premiered on the video website on September 22nd in a paid mode, which confirmed the rumors of the previous "first-net backstage" broadcast mode and caused heated discussion in the industry. However, Shen Yan [Weibo], the director who has directed classic works such as Divorce in Chinese Style, Youth with Nowhere to Place, Mobile Phone and The True Story of Hot Mom, is conservative about whether his new suspense drama Crossing the Mystery tends to be broadcast on the Internet. After all, the battle of Shushan is supported by super IP and small fresh meat. Shen Yan told Sina Entertainment, "I especially respect the market reaction and accept IP, but traditional things are not chips. When IP and small fresh meat are always tired of eating, there will always be a reversal. "
Justin Zhang Xinyi was not in love before filming. Jiang Chunshang performed a middle-aged love story "Crossing the Mystery", which involved a shady mystery behind a big hospital and a cliff accident. It is reported that in order to have a deeper understanding of the characters in the play, Justin specially took time out to "study and observe" in major hospitals in Beijing, trying to figure out how to approach the characters more realistically. Perhaps what he didn't expect at that time was that Zhang Xinyi, who had worked with Princess You Jie before, and his girlfriend since then also joined the play at the invitation of Shen Yan. Shen Yan told Sina Entertainment that Justin and Zhang Xinyi were not in love when they were looking for them, and they didn't know that they had collaborated on a costume drama first. "Because I have worked with Xin Yi before, I will look for her first. Her second advantage is what Rong Rong (the heroine) needs. Then I thought of Justin. They received my invitation separately and then discussed it privately. " In addition to the couple in real life, the old drama bones of Jison and Sun Chun in Through the Lost also show a middle-aged love involving the feud of the previous generation. In addition, as doctors, they also have "heart disease", which makes the plot more intriguing. The breakthrough of suspense shell+emotional lining lies in bringing suspense into modern times.
From the title of "Crossing the Mystery" released at the film conference, we can see that the accident of climbing a cliff, the theft of the deceased's mobile phone, the unexpected call of the phone, and the positioning of the phone is the morgue ... While the story logic is advancing step by step, it also digs out one pit after another that interests the audience. Of course, in addition to these "pits", the loss of a female doctor in Jison and the pursuit of the death of a best friend by a psychological counselor in Zhang Xinyi are all touching the audience's soft nerves.
Under the current policy soil, urban suspense drama has never been a pleasing theme. In the dialogue with Sina Entertainment, director Shen Yan also said modestly that this drama is not a completely brain-burning American drama, but a suspense shell with an emotional story. "I hope to have a suspense shell, which is actually an emotional story. This type is a mashup. I can't say it's brain burning. It is difficult to have suspense from beginning to end. After all, American TV shows can have 90 episodes, while this one has only 30 episodes. And we don't have a professional team to do suspense dramas. After the suspense substitution, I will still talk about the relationship between people and the feelings between people. Suspense has always been there, but it has not reached such a high position. "
In addition, Shen Yan also interpreted the lack of suspense themes in domestic dramas. "The suspense theme is basically blank, which is the attraction of my project. The main reason is that there are many restrictions and the script is difficult to get. Therefore, the current suspense drama is mainly based on spy warfare, and the limited order of cases cannot get the golden file. " As for the breakthrough of "crossing the mystery", it lies in "daring to bring suspense to modern times and opening it to cases at the same time."
