Recently, the sweet pet comedy short drama "Maze with Cats", adapted from the highly popular comic exclusively serialized on Bilibili, was officially announced to be broadcast on the Bilibili platform on September 2, with a total of 24 episodes, each 10 minutes long.

B station has 200 million views of the comic book with the same name, and it has a box office of 3.8 billion. Actress joins the cast

The short drama "Cat's Labyrinth" is adapted from the phenomenal comic of the same name with 200 million views on Bilibili. Since its launch, it has attracted a large number of comic fans and viewers. The main creative team of the drama is very strong. It is directed by director Shen Kemin, and written by Ying Jun and Li Yajie. It brings together a group of new and powerful actors such as Tang Jiawen, Pan Zijian, Zhang Xince, Chen Peisu, Xing Nuan, Bai Jiahao, etc.

Among them, the actress Jiang Zhi (Youmao) is played by Tang Jiawen, who has been a hot actress in the entertainment industry in recent years. She has starred in well-known movies such as "The Exorcist of Tuodi", "Spring", "I've Always Liked You", "The Great Thief", and "All or Nothing". In the hit anti-fraud movie "All or Nothing", which won 3.8 billion box office in 2023, Tang Jiawen's role as Jin Chen's "poisonous girlfriend" Li Shuang left a deep impression on the audience. In order to trick her friend Anna into the pit, Li Shuang showed off the benefits of working abroad in various ways and constantly teased the other party's heartstrings. It seems that every word is for the sake of her girlfriend, but the "cunning" look behind the smile reveals her true nature. With seven points of smile and three points of calculation, Tang Jiawen interprets the scheming of "poisonous girlfriend" Li Shuang vividly. This time, playing the heroine Jiang Zhi (Youmao) in the micro-short drama "The Maze with Cats", Tang Jiawen perfectly interprets the image of a female cartoonist who is "confused on the surface but sober in fact" with a sunny and lively interpretation style.

In the production of the series, the short drama "Cat's Maze" also put a lot of effort. In order to restore the comics to the greatest extent, not only did they carefully create a number of fantasy scenes, but they also presented the audience with a real and imaginative world through delicate lens language and vivid sound design. In addition, the drama also incorporates a lot of humorous elements and romantic plots, making the whole series in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere without losing depth and connotation.

Atypical sweet comedy heroine cross-dimensional fantasy adventure

The short drama "The Maze with Cats" tells the story of a new female cartoonist Jiang Zhi (played by Tang Jiawen) who accidentally fell into a coma during a bottleneck period of creation. She entered the comic world she created and transformed into the heroine "Youmao", embarking on a high-energy adventure that combines fantasy, time travel, dimension, comedy, romance, suspense, reversal and other elements. In the play, Jiang Zhi not only has to find the truth about the death of her adoptive parents in the comic world, but also has to understand the true meaning of her own creation. In this process, her interaction with various characters is full of fun and warmth, allowing the audience to feel the power of love and courage in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

As an "atypical" short drama, "The Maze with Cats" has three highlights that attract audiences. First, the protagonist is not treated as a decoration. Although the protagonist, the female cartoonist Jiang Zhi, travels through her own comics to find the villain, she is not as smooth as other comic protagonists, and even changes the plot because of her haste. The road to finding the villain is full of obstacles and dangers. While following Jiang Zhi's journey of exploration, the audience adds a sense of worry and curiosity. Second, the audience is not treated as an outsider. Because Jiang Zhi is wandering in her own comics, she can interact with the audience outside the screen anytime and anywhere to seek audience recognition. This novel setting makes the audience no longer just a bystander, but can also participate in the plot and immerse themselves in the fantasy adventure of cats. Third, the comics are not used as gimmicks. The comic "The Maze with Cats" has more than 200 million readings and a large number of loyal fans on Bilibili. When the screenwriter adapted the comic, he used a light comedy style, leaving suspense at the end of each episode, allowing the story to innovatively break the routine, which I believe will bring different surprises to the original fans.

The high-profile sweetness continues throughout the show with multiple elements to attract young audiences

In the short drama market with serious commercial competition and homogeneity, "The Maze with Cats" has attracted a wide audience with its rich story content and unique cross-dimensional setting. In addition to the fantasy comic adventure main line, the two-way relationship between the male and female protagonists runs through the whole play. Spreading sugar and sweet pets is a major selling point of this atypical short drama. Whether it is a young audience who likes fantasy adventures, a love fan who prefers sweet pet dramas, or a mystery fan who is keen on suspense and reasoning, they can find their own fun in this drama. What makes the audience look forward to more is that the actors led by Tang Jiawen and Pan Zijian are quite pleasing to the eye, which adds an eye-catching point and competitiveness to the sweet pet drama market that values ​​appearance.

"Cat's Labyrinth" is scheduled to be launched on B Station on September 2, marking the coming of a cross-dimensional sweet whirlwind.
