I believe that everyone who likes to watch crime suspense movies knows the name of director Cao Baoping. His "Burning Sun》《The murderer also》"Across the Angry Sea", I believe everyone has already seen or heard of it.
Now, the most fierce drama of the year produced by Cao Baoping is here! It is the 16-episode web drama "Waterside Past》。
The director of "Bianshui Past" is "Suan", the famous time-space cycle web drama "beginning》One of the directors.
I watched the first 4 episodes of "Waterside Stories" in one go. It was great, but I also felt a little tired, because each episode of the show is about an hour long, which is enough to satisfy you in one go.
The story of "Past Events by the Edge Water" takes place in a lawless area in Southeast Asia called Sanbianpo, which should correspond to the Golden Triangle.
Domestic youth Shen Xing (Guo Qilin He comes here to find his uncle Shen Jiandong (played by You Yongzhi), hoping to start a business with his uncle.
Shen Xing was raised by his uncle, so this uncle is almost like his father.
As soon as Shen Xing arrived, he found that his uncle was in big trouble.
My uncle's construction contractor suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't get paid, so he couldn't pay the workers. So my uncle drove alone to find the contractor to ask for money, but there was a war going on there, so my uncle couldn't come back for the time being.
Shen Xing, who is kind-hearted but also fond of ostentation, wants to ensure that the workers can receive their wages in time and go home for the New Year. So he takes it upon himself (is smart enough) to mortgage all the construction machinery equipment of his uncle's company and borrows 1.2 million RMB from Bazi Ge to pay the workers' wages, promising to repay 1.32 million RMB in one month.
But Bazi Ge came early to collect the debt, and Shen Xing had no choice but to take Angtun's car to find his uncle, but in fact he fell into Angtun's trap.
Aung Tun had long wanted to kill Uncle Chai.Francis Ng He was planning to find Dan Tuo (played by Jiang Qilin), a subordinate of the former leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC), so he had planned to find Shen Xing to take the blame. However, because the person he was negotiating with that day was Dan Tuo's younger brother Maung Ba, the person who died was Maung Ba, and Shen Xing was framed as the murderer of Maung Ba.
In the end, Shen Xing took the initiative to find Uncle Cai, but was stabbed and thrown into the water by Uncle Cai.
Uncle Cai appears to be ruthless, but he is actually merciful.
Later, because Shen Xing refused to drag Dantuo into the water even under the threat of death, Uncle Cai admired Shen Xing's kindness and loyalty and praised him for "not selling out people even when a gun is pointed at his head."
But Tuo originally wanted to sell Shen Xing, but after listening to Uncle Cai's words about Shen Xing's loyalty, he decided to keep Shen Xing.
Uncle Cai promised to repay all the high-interest loans that Shen Xing owed on his behalf, on the condition that Shen Xing would work off the debt until the debt was paid off in three years, and then he would be free.
From then on, Shen Xing became a "side-water" driver.
The so-called "border water" refers to people who transport drugs or daily necessities for drug dealers.
Uncle Cai has principles. He only does business of delivering daily necessities to drug dealers and does not touch drugs.
So, under Dantuo's guidance, Shen Xing started to run along the water and began his adventure in Sanbianpo, which was full of thrills, excitement and magic.
Each episode of "Border Water Past" has a theme, including "Sudden Disaster", "Border Water", "Kai Shi", "Puppet Show", "Pigeon Blood Red", "Cow", "Slaughter", "Tapir", etc. The audience can follow Shen Xing, adventure and hunt for curiosities, and witness all kinds of monsters and strange people and things in the Golden Triangle.
"Past Events by the Border Water" is worthy of being produced by Cao Baoping. The pictures have the texture of movies, and the life and character details in it are very much a restoration of the roughness and reality of real life. Of course, the original violence and bloody elements of Cao Baoping's films are also indispensable.
Moreover, the drama can be said to have gathered dozens of "ruthless" actors in the domestic entertainment industry, plus Wu Zhenyu, one of Hong Kong's "Four Heavenly Kings of Villains".
These ruthless actors, including Li Xiaochuan, Zhao Jun,Jiang Qiming、Song Jiateng, Liu Yang, Gan Yunchen,Zhou Zhengjie, Wang Xiaomu, Wang Haitao, Yin Ziwei, etc., it can be said that they have gathered together the tough role actors in major film and television dramas.
There are also decent actors and veteran actors like You Yongzhi, and golden supporting actors in movies like Wang Xun.
Guo Qilin, who plays the leading male role, looks better than in "Joy of Life 2》He has lost a lot of weight, and his image is much cleaner and neater, which makes him look more pleasing to the eye.
After watching 4 episodes, I feel that Guo Qilin’s acting is really good. His image is more suitable for this kind of small character role with a little humor and cleverness.
Guo Qilin brought to life the character of Shen Xing, who is kind, affectionate, curious, ignorant, quick-witted, and a bit clever.
I believe that everyone has seen a lot of anti-drug dramas about the Golden Triangle. Most of them show everything from the perspective of God or the police. Like "Border Water Past", it uses the perspective of an ordinary citizen to look at and discover the life of this lawless place called Sanbianpo. Such dramas are really fresh and rare.
This film "Border Water Memories" is not like those crime films in the past two years that are set in a Southeast Asian country. They only pursue the so-called suspense and reversal, and only want to catch people's attention, but lose the realistic logical basis that the story itself should have.
"Past Events by the Edgewater" allows us to follow Shen Xing's footsteps and eyes to discover, experience, explore, feel and ponder the bizarreness of this dangerous exotic place and the various aspects of the world, the good and evil of human nature. It gives people a particularly real, delicate and fresh feeling, with a wonderful balance between the excitement of adventure and the flow of life.
This is a truly good work of realism, a groundbreaking new short suspense drama in the domestic entertainment industry. Without further ado, let's watch the drama together!
