Chapter 68 068 The sudden increase in discussion
Chapter Sixty-Eight
"'He really said that?' Hahahaha, I'm always on the road to dying of laughter at Lin Yuan. What's with that serious expression?"
"As expected of Lin Yuan, the Fighting Kangaroo!"
"No one intentionally linked 'The Powerful Minister' and 'Linlang' together. It was just a forum post. How arrogant is Wei Ze to think that people are trying to ride on his coattails?"
"It's because Lin Yuan doesn't have any achievements in the TV drama industry. Why do you have to say it out loud? You should just keep it to yourself."
"The production team of 'Lin Lang' didn't promote 'The Powerful Minister,' so why do people think 'The Powerful Minister' is riding on their coattails? They're really making a big fuss."
Lin Yuan's statement, "He really said that," was featured prominently on the homepages of various marketing accounts, accompanied by his incredulous and persecuted-looking emoji, which intensified the rivalry between "The Powerful Minister" and "Lin Lang."
To some extent, the popularity of "The Powerful Minister" has indeed increased.
"Lin Yuan can easily increase the popularity of 'The Powerful Minister' by arguing with Wink. There's really no need for him to ride on the coattails of 'Lin Lang'."
Netizens commented that Lin Yuan has a very low chance of losing an argument.
A true master of Yin and Yang.
...
After finishing "Yin Yang Wei Ze", Lin Yuan is still filming "Major Cases". "The Powerful Minister" was indeed his first drama, and he will remember it. But for Lin Yuan, the performance in front of him is the most important thing.
Filming for the first case in "Major Crimes" is nearing its end.
In the script of "Major Crimes", the first case is a simple story. Although it is from a long time ago, it mainly relies on technological means to solve the problem. The protagonist's ability to solve cases is not fully utilized. Of course, with the help of technology, he does discover the murderer earlier than others.
The first case begins with the victim's mother coming every year to demand the truth, persisting from her prime to her old age.
In the end, she did not die with regrets. She met the murderer who killed her daughter, saw that he had lived for so many years, that he had changed his name, married and had children, and lived a normal and happy life in the eyes of the public. She also saw her neighbors say, "He is an honest man."
No one knows what lies hidden behind his honest face.
“His social media suffix,” Qiu Heng said in a low voice, “uses the date from that day back then.”
Anger welled up in Qiu Heng's eyes.
Everyone thought the murderer was on the run and lived in fear and regret every day.
However, he did not use this day as a suffix to indicate that he had never been afraid; otherwise, he would have erased all traces of this day.
He was reminiscing, he was reminiscing.
He personally took a girl's life, committed a perverted act, and then spent the rest of his life reliving that day; it was his stimulant.
"All we can do is catch the murderer and bring him to justice."
In the script of "Major Cases", Qiu Heng is not a character with drastic emotional fluctuations, but that does not mean he has no emotions.
His joy at solving the case was genuine, and his anger at the murderer who had wantonly slaughtered lives without any remorse was also genuine.
Qiu Heng is just too reserved.
"Anger is useless if you want to solve a case; only a rational mind will work." This is the most frequently appearing line in "Major Crimes".
Shi Yumeng's script has a tight pace and the crime-solving plot is written very rigorously, but she occasionally has some childish thoughts. For example, when Qiu Heng is thinking about the case and getting closer to the truth, his eyes "seem to be shining".
Lin Yuan said that it is difficult to create the effect of human eyes glowing.
"This is an exaggeration, mainly to make your presence felt."
Lin Yuan: "...I'll try my best."
#Today is another day to make your eyes shine#
...
If the cast and crew of "Major Cases" were to comment on Lin Yuan, they could only say that Lin Yuan kept his real life and acting very separate.
He had just mocked Wei Ze online, and everyone thought that he would bring some emotion to the next scene. But Lin Yuan played Qiu Heng diligently throughout the entire performance, and you couldn't see any of Lin Yuan's own emotions in the character.
In the script, the four-person team didn't have a deep understanding of each other at first, but as they worked together day by day, they became more tolerant and cooperative with each other, and eventually found the best way for them to get along.
Qiu Heng gradually transformed from an "incomprehensible person" into an "understandable person."
This transformation was not only due to others getting closer to Qiu Heng, but also because Qiu Heng revealed her softer side.
Lin Yuan's portrayal made Qiu Heng softer and more adorable.
Friendship is a very important theme in "Major Crimes". Although it is rare for male and female actors to work together without talking about love, "Major Crimes" is one of them.
The four members' journey from mutual dislike to becoming friends is clearly depicted.
Although Kong Yupan, who plays Wang Wei, has a serious personality, he will joke around with Lin Yuan and the others in order to play the role well. Yi Han, who plays the forensic doctor Liao Jing, is a barbecue fanatic and will often invite the others to eat barbecue skewers.
Others: "..."
Yi Han was the actor who filmed the most autopsy scenes in the drama, and there were also scenes involving cooking in a large pot. After filming similar scenes, she was still in the mood to eat barbecue skewers, which really impressed the other actors.
It's very flamboyant and daring.
In addition, although Jiang Yan has a solid foundation in martial arts, she is actually the most timid of the four people in the crew. Ghost stories should never be told in front of her, otherwise she will definitely let others experience her martial arts skills in a very gentle way.
Lin Yuan had his muscles stretched once.
Since then, he has stopped listening to ghost stories. To him, Jiang Yan is far more terrifying than any ghost story.
There are four main characters in "Major Crimes", which has a huge advantage - when playing Dou Dizhu (a card game), you can have exactly four people and don't need to borrow anyone.
Although I was often caught by the director, the director would sometimes join in.
...
The second case in "Major Crimes" is a murder-for-exchange case.
A chance encounter and a shared desire to escape their partners led two murderers, whose lives had never intersected and who didn't even live in the same city, to develop a tacit understanding.
Everything should have been flawless, but the problem was that one of them killed the wrong person.
The case became even more perplexing, but as a result, the previously hidden murderer gradually came to light.
In this case, the four-person team's abilities were given fuller play.
However, the reasoning aspect alone is enough to make people rack their brains.
“Filming this every day only makes people feel how cruel life is,” Kong Yupan lamented.
Lin Yuan nodded in agreement and looked at Yi Han: "Can we skip the barbecue today?"
"The hot pot?"
Lin Yuan: "...Can I not eat?"
On the set of "Major Cases", Lin Yuan discovered that he did not have a special physique that prevented him from gaining weight; he was definitely capable of gaining weight.
Yi Han really can't gain weight no matter how much she eats.
"envy!!"
"Jealousy +1".
When not filming, Yi Han devoted all her enthusiasm to eating. In her words, "It's rare for 'Major Cases' to be filmed outside of a film studio, so we should cherish this precious opportunity."
Lin Yuan: "..."
Come to think of it, the boxed lunches at the film studio are indeed not very tasty.
...
While Lin Yuan was filming "Major Cases", the second trailer for "The Powerful Minister" was released.
The first branch is the younger version of Shao Jing, while the second branch is the middle-aged powerful minister Shao Jing.
The harmonious relationship between the ruler and his ministers in their youth ultimately led to their downfall.
It is impossible to know when the crack appeared, but once the crack appeared, there was no possibility of repair.
Who is at fault? It may not be Shao Jing, nor the emperor; it's probably just their positions.
In the trailer, Shao Jing is seen off by his friends as he leaves the capital. The sky is dark and the snow is heavy. The once all-powerful prime minister is now seen off by only one person, which is extremely shabby.
Shao Jing is getting old.
In my youth I walked with the speed of the wind, but now I can only stagger.
Those days in Beijing are gone forever.
Night fell, the sky was as black as ink, and the snow was falling heavily, and it was also very cold. We escorted Shao Jing into the cabin.
Upon the release of this trailer, netizens expressed the same sentiment as when the first trailer was revealed: "Is this Lin Yuan?!"
The first time was because Lin Yuan was dashing and unexpectedly handsome. This time it was because—in the shot, the aged Shao Jing seemed to have no resemblance to Lin Yuan, yet it didn't feel out of place at all.
No one could tell that hidden beneath Shao Jing's aged face was actually Lin Yuan, who was several times younger.
Makeup techniques certainly played a part, but Lin Yuan's acting skills were equally impressive. His expressions, his gait, and even the most subtle movements kept the audience completely immersed in the story.
"That's too strong!"
"!!! I thought when the previous trailer came out, 'The Powerful Minister' is a story that runs through Shao Jing's life. What will Shao Jing do in his old age? I didn't expect it to be Lin Yuan."
"If I were Lin Yuan, I would have already arranged for a hundred marketing accounts to hype myself up."
The production team of "The Powerful Minister" did not buy trending searches to praise the actors' performances. The series only gained some popularity when the trailer was released, but other production teams in the same time slot had already started promoting their shows.
The trailer for "Linlang" has been released—in the trailer, the male lead Qi Yejue, played by Ye Liuchuan, is seriously injured and bids a reluctant farewell to the female lead Zhou Linlang.
"What a pair of deep, affectionate eyes! Ye Liuchuan's acting skills have improved dramatically!"
"So heartbreaking, so tear-jerking, so moving, I love the tragic love story so much, looking forward to 'Lin Lang', looking forward to Ye Liuchuan's superb acting skills."
"Ahhh, Qi Yejue is the best in the world!!"
Even before "Lin Lang" has aired, Ye Liuchuan's trending topics have been relatively low-key, but many viewers have already learned that he is the male lead of "Lin Lang".
Another trending topic was about Zheng Mian, mainly promoting how many male actors Zheng Mian has made famous in recent years, and that "Lin Lang" should be a huge hit, so it's a good idea to buy Ye Liuchuan's stock in advance.
"Wink became a hit once, and his drama became a hit again. Ye Liuchuan never disappoints me."
As the broadcast date of the series approaches, the promotion of "Lin Lang" has become more frequent. In contrast, although "The Powerful Minister" also has promotion, the intensity of the promotion is less than one-fifth of that of "Lin Lang".
In the month that both dramas aired, discussions about "The Powerful Minister" suddenly increased—
"Isn't 'The Powerful Minister' really heart-wrenching? Shao Jing's ending isn't good either, so let's watch something happier."
"I'm not interested in these heavy historical dramas at all; I just love watching the male and female leads fall in love."
"It's one thing to make historical dramas about upright characters, but is there anything worth making about a character like Shao Jing? I'll definitely pass on 'The Powerful Minister' and prefer 'Lin Lang'."
"Are there still people who don't know the true face of Shao Jing in history? You can check out the popular science post by this blogger. Shao Jing was a psychopath with bipolar disorder. Anyway, he was not very normal. I feel that 'The Powerful Minister' is not worth watching at all."
