Xu Kai and Yang Zi, the two leading actors in "The Story of Cheng Huan", are very popular overseas, especially in Southeast Asia. However, it was He Saifei who made the show popular overseas. The "Excellent Mother" played by He Saifei in the play was re-created by netizens in many countries through slicing. Most of the captions were "Is this my biological mother?"

Judging from the plot synopsis released by Tencent, the plot of "Qing Yu Nian 2" will end with the assassination of Emperor Qing of Xuankong Temple.

"Rebirth" stills, starring Jing Boran
At present, the suspense track is seriously involved, and the audience's demands are gradually becoming higher. The drama has opened up a new track of anti-fraud + suspense, focusing on the social issue of fraud. The character creation and plot setting have also done enough "gimmicks" to magnify the male characters. The "variety of identities" and "time management" during the main fraud process, on the one hand, provide a "satisfying" experience, on the other hand, the story logic and acting skills are very solid, and the strong plot and high-level audio-visual language make the audience unable to help but stop. , and also has strong social significance. It can be said to be a must-see this week.
"My Altay"
The series is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Li Juan. The novel records every detail of the author's life in the Altay region of northern Xinjiang, including the memories and insights of people and events. It shows the simple and refreshing atmosphere of the nomadic people, and the overall writing style is more prose. , not easy to adapt.

Jiang Qiming and Yan Peilun are special stars. From middle-aged actors to young actors, they are all highly sought after in the past two years. A powerful representative with outstanding personal style, which shows the intention and thoughts of the main creator.
The texture of the series itself also highly restores the core of what the novel wants to show, which is free and down-to-earth, simple and advanced.

"hidden"
The new drama of iQiyi Mist Theater has finally started airing. The series is directed by Liu Xin and stars Ou Hao, Li Yitong, Yang Jue, Zhang Guoqiang, and Hu Lianxin. It tells the story of a secret operation many years ago when veteran policeman Zheng Ying accidentally disappeared and young undercover policeman Gao Yang lurked within the criminal group. A story of searching for the truth during a narrow escape.
Mist Theater has gradually lacked stamina since its breakthrough with "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth". The hot searches and popularity of "The Untold" are not satisfactory, and its performance in major lists is mediocre. After broadcasting 6 episodes, the popularity on the iQiyi site currently exceeds 7,000.
Stills from "Untold"
Audience feedback focused on confusing logic, unclear explanation of character relationships, and many suspense drama mistakes. It only has a sense of suspense but ignores the beauty and rhythm of the story itself. As a criminal investigation drama, it is quite satisfactory, but it does not meet the standards that make people want to follow it.
Audiences who like criminal investigation suspense can wait and watch again.
"Tian Xing Jian"
"Tianxingjian" poster
It airs on air this week. Written by Bai Yicong, directed by Lou Jian and Wei Lizhou, starring Qin Junjie, Liu Yuning, and Huang Mengying, it tells the story of a group of people with different identities in the late Qing Dynasty, but by chance, they were involved in a bizarre treasure hunt, and in the grand turmoil In the historical wave, the ideal of saving the country was gradually strengthened. The show will wrap up in May 2022 and will be aired two years later.
Different from other backlogged dramas, this drama currently has a good reputation. The audio-visual pictures of the drama are online in aesthetics, the rhythm is appropriate, and it is full of the sense of depression in the late Qing Dynasty, and at the same time it contains the hope and opportunities of the times. The story itself is very cleverly designed, bringing together different classes and groups of people in the era on a treasure map, which represents the different political views and living conditions of that era, as well as the different struggles for power in the chaos.
However, perhaps due to low-key publicity, the show is currently performing only averagely on major lists. It is very popular on Tencent and has exceeded 20,000 so far.
"Another Kind of Blue"
Nowadays, more and more Chinese dramas focus on the trend of returning home, so realistic themes of hometown career + love are emerging one after another, and this drama has also caught up with this wave of enthusiasm.
The drama is directed by Li Ang and stars Song Qian, Zhou Yimin, and Liu Mintao. The drama is based on intangible cultural heritage and tells the story of Chen Xiaoman, a Beidiao drifter, who returns to his hometown of Jingdezhen and meets Ke Yan. The story of tangible cultural heritage.
Stills from "Another Kind of Blue"
After the show was launched, the ratings were not very satisfactory. The first broadcast of Kuyun was almost at the bottom of the day, and the topic discussion was also limited. The current broadcast part has not highlighted the characteristics of Jingdezhen. The story is relatively routine, and the male and female protagonists do not have a strong sense of CP. Maybe The subsequent reputation and data are both worrying.
