Chaoyang handwritten slogan

"But the truth is far more cruel than fairy tales.

There is another version of this story.

Said the princess didn't care about Descartes at all

Descartes died not of disease, but of betrayal.

So should we believe the truth or the fairy tale?

It's your choice. "

-flies from the "hidden corner"

"When the sun rises, who is destined to sink in the west?"

It is an indisputable fact that "The Hidden Corner" exploded. Two weeks after the store was closed, its word of mouth continued to ferment.

After dinner, you are idle and ready to surf the Internet. The Weibo you opened-# Ye cp Mixed Cut # hangs on the hot search. Among the top ten hot spots in the field of film and television, "secret" related works account for half. You click on the cp mashup video of Chaoyang Dongsheng and say to yourself, "Really, sir, can you do it?" Climbing the Mountain and White Boat have also become the most "underworld" dramas this summer, which makes people suffer from severe PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

Aside from the drama craze, let's go back to "secrecy" itself.

Director Xin Shuang said frankly in the interview:

"The original intention of our inner creation is to show the complex side of human nature. We don't show pure evil, and we don't like fun based on curiosity. What will eventually come back will bring us all kinds of thoughts, that is, we should avoid these evils in life, let ourselves learn to love, and let ourselves learn to love correctly. If someone says, isn't this me? Isn't this my understanding of love in life? If you want to know if there is something wrong with your love, do you need to adjust it in your life? I hope the audience will see and think about this problem. Pure evil has never been what I want to show. I don't believe there is evil in this world for no reason. This is not my creative philosophy. "

When the curtain of a drama slowly opens, people's discussion on the plot gradually subsides. Aside from the simple sensory stimulation, what does Secret leave us?

Different plays have different outlines. Some plays, like God's eyes, show the complexity and confusion of human nature, and people can see their own shadows in them.

This is the case with The Hidden Corner.

"Character and background color"

There are many characters in The Hidden Corner. Who is the protagonist?

Is it bald Zhang Dongsheng? Or are three children dealing with this?

The play is adapted from Zi's novel Bad Boys, and the English "The Bad Kids" next to the title of the play is handwritten. It goes without saying who is the guest and who is the host.

Are Yan Liang and Pupu bad boys?

I always think that the background color of Yan Liang and Pupu is the background color of children and chivalry. However, it was like a close call. If you lack restraint, you will go the wrong way and fall into the abyss.

Yan Liang met Mr. Chen and Yan, which is lucky.

So, is Zhu Chaoyang a bad boy?

When the drama ended, we all knew that Zhu Chaoyang's behavior was unforgivable. He is a traitor, a liar and an egoist, and his background is dark. However, after the end of the series, all kinds of long comments and short comments on the internet hardly heard the voice of thorough criticism of Chaoyang.

Because we remember, remember the sincere smile on the child's face when he swam with his father; I remember the lost ripples in the child's eyes when he was ignored; I still remember him running when he went out to call his friends after learning that his mother would not come home.

He is not willing to paint the gloomy background of the morning sun. He is faced with his father's repeated neglect, his mother's heavy love and even the whole social culture: everyone subconsciously insists that "being a good boy" and "studying hard" are the most important things.

Therefore, Chaoyang's value construction is exogenous, and his self-awareness and action choice depend on some external standards to make the final decision.

Socrates' sentence engraved on the temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece is: "Know yourself". "Self-awareness" is the first meaning, but in this process of self-awareness, something more precious can be produced: acceptance and endogenous self-strength.

We should always stare at ourselves, and more importantly, we should stare at ourselves with our own eyes, which do not belong to others, the collective, the established value system, or even our closest parents and lovers. We must honestly stare at ourselves with our own eyes, which is the highest freedom right that a noble person deserves.

Do as you say.

I don't want to be humble, obedient, noticed or cheated.

I don't like this direction,

I am not your property.

Do I know? Nur mill.

Because I only belong to myself.

Yin Le?'

"This is Yin Le, right?"

"Can you make some music among the dead?"

"This BGM sent it directly to me."

-from the barrage pool of this play

The opening, closing and interlude of The Secret are widely concerned by the audience, and the word "Yin Yue" is not empty.

Perhaps you have noticed that the soundtrack that appeared in previous plays often appeared when the characters were dark inside. These songs seem to resonate with people. By creating a strong sense of echo and space, they isolate their characters from the real world and selectively enlarge their inner "hidden corners" infinitely.

Musicians who "secretly" choose to cooperate are usually full of concepts and avantgarde, such as Dinco, Houhai Shark in Modern Sky, JOYSIDE, Anti-Gneral and so on. It must be mentioned that Xin Shuang, the director, used to be a former guitarist of joyside, so he is handy in applying the soundtrack and has an excellent sense of integration with the drama itself.

These works belong to the category of post-rock and mathematical rock, which are experimental and groundbreaking. After calculation, these pieces of music are closer to the mathematical form, divorced from the lyrics and melodies valued by traditional oriental aesthetics, which is indeed a big challenge to the audience's "old taste".

"A group of big movies and big coffees come to shoot TV dramas, which is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction."

Many viewers say that "The Hidden Corner" is a very cinematic drama, but what is cinematic? Where does the "sense of secrecy" of this film come from?

Generally speaking, movies can be divided into realistic movies and formalism movies: the former wants movies to be as close to the truth as possible and restore life as much as possible; The latter is more like a director's personal aesthetic dance, and tends to make the film artistic, which is far from real life.

"Yasujirō Ozu's low status is determined by Japanese-style daily life. It is still the apparent horizon of human daily life, but this person is the apparent horizon of people kneeling on tatami. " The erection of this kind of airplane seat is the best simulation of reality.

A large elevation lens, shot from the underground of a multi-storey building, Batman descended from the sky with black wings like God.

From lighting, camera position, scene layout and costume design, everything is meticulous, all in order to show Batman's stalwart power.

Although it is a branch of film, it is not abrupt when applied to "hidden corners". It not only absorbs the essence of realistic movies, but also has a good eye-catching performance in form.

Take the first episode as an example. This episode paves the way for the following, showing the audience the initial life trajectory of Zhang Dongsheng and Zhu Chaoyang: Zhang Dongsheng faced his indifferent wife and critical parents-in-law, and even the students ignored him; Zhu Chaoyang is faced with a mother with strong self-esteem, rigid educational concept and an extremely eccentric sister.

The first episode gave people a strong sense of suffocation. I believe that everyone has experienced wine tables, unfamiliar relatives, discussions about "whether it is within the system", debates about "students only need to study", and subtle but tense campus violence ... This is life itself. The director observed all this with sensitive eyes and described it in such a detailed and true way-this belongs to the category of realism. It is precisely because of this that the audience can have a strong feeling.

But it is obvious that the play has repeatedly carved the reality and has many symbolic elements. Only in terms of color and composition, the whole play has many remarkable places.

This scene appeared in the third episode, Zhu Jingjing died, and Yao Yao sat in the corner of the hospital in despair.

The dark light came from the left, slightly blue, but Yao Yao faced to the right and shut himself in the shadow with a gesture of refusal. Characters bow their heads slightly and cross their hands, which is a kind of closed body language.

Judging from the composition, the walls of the hospital show vertical lines on the screen, so it is hard not to think of the words "detention", "restriction" and "closure".

This elaborate framing arrangement is naturally intentional.

This is in the ninth episode, when Zhang Dongsheng killed Wang Li.

Red and black fill the whole picture, and the meaning is self-evident.

But this photo hides more information. ...

Zhang Dongsheng's back to the camera, almost can only see the sharp weapon in his hand, the implication is that this weapon is the symbolic meaning represented by Zhang Dongsheng at this time.

What about "back to back"? Generally speaking, people who turn their backs on each other always represent danger and mystery, while those who turn their backs on each other represent openness and acceptance.

More carefully, we can see that the camera was set slightly below Zhang Dongsheng's shoulder, while Wang Li, who was dying, was shot from above. Although Zhang Dongsheng's face was not photographed at that time, if it was filmed in this way, Zhang Dongsheng would be photographed from an upward perspective, implying that he was in power.

This is the advanced point of audio-visual language, which comes from reality, has a solid realistic foundation and has undergone professional audio-visual processing. There may be no lines in the camera, there may be no hysterical crying and emotional venting, but everything is presented to the audience, waiting for you to love it.

"It's our choices that show who we really are."

"Of course, in this story" The Secret Corner ",just like its name," The Secret Corner "may have such a secret corner in each of us, and the corruption of the whole world is hidden in our hearts. Zhang San exists in each of us. I often wonder, if you were me, would we be caught by this kind of criminal behavior, and would it be possible for us to contain the darkness inside? So many times, don't think too highly of yourself, don't imagine yourself too bright and noble, we should always be alert to our inner darkness, and we should always block our inner darkness and not release it. We are far more terrible and sinister than we thought. "

Teacher Luo Xiang.

Believe in truth or fairy tales? Zhang Dongsheng not only asked Zhu Chaoyang questions, but also asked our audience questions.

As Teacher Luo Xiang said: "There may be such a secret corner in the depths of each of us, and the corruption of the whole world is hidden in people's hearts." However, the existence of such a corner does not mean that we are closer to evil. In the final analysis, this is a question of balance.

May we always be alert to the inner darkness and fight it with the power of love and trust.
