Chapter 92: Another hit
A long shot of more than 20 seconds, and a long shot of movement, is not uncommon in the film industry, but it is a bit extravagant to put it in a web drama.
After all, viewers who don’t know much about film and television knowledge and are simply watching the plot will not notice this point at all; and those who can notice it, such as Xiaolin, mostly have rich experience in watching movies, have seen too many lens techniques, and will not think that this is amazing.
Xiaolin remembered the interview he did when the crew of "Psychological Crime" started filming. The director Wu Bai seemed to be a micro-film shooter, so it was normal to come up with such a movie-level shot in the work.
However, this point can be mentioned when interpreting film and television. First, it can be distinguished from other up masters who just complain about the plot in general; second, it can also establish a professional persona through this slightly less superficial film and television knowledge.
And then again, regardless of the director's showmanship, the long shot itself is meaningful in the work, which can bring the audience into the background of the work more naturally and smoothly.
At least Xiao Lin has been immersed in the atmosphere of the story filled with heat, depression and suspense through this continuous shot.
And this level is not only in the opening. Throughout the whole episode, whether it is the beauty of the lens, the color of the picture or the smooth transition, it continues to be at a very high level.
If the computer screen is not too small, it even feels like watching a movie.
This can really be called "movie-level texture".
No wonder Leshi.com dared to shout out the slogans of "benchmarking American dramas" and "super web dramas". They really have real materials.
Of course, the production level of a drama is only the basis for whether it is good or not. The key lies in the plot.
"Psychological Crime" was just launched today. There are only two episodes at present, and each episode is also the normal standard of 30 minutes for web dramas.
However, this short plot of less than an hour has completely attracted Xiao Lin.
"Strong city", "blood-sucking demon", "perverted murderer", "psychological crime"... Various elements that are different from traditional criminal investigation dramas are presented one by one, giving people a strong sense of novelty.
When he saw the second episode, Xiaolin had forgotten the purpose of taking notes. He focused on following the progress of the case and began to guess the physical characteristics of the murderer.
He finished watching the two episodes quickly. It was not until he saw the preview of the next episode that he realized that he had only written a few sentences in his notebook, and the rest was blank.
It seems that he can only watch it again tomorrow and remember it then. Xiaolin thought.
Wait, that's not right. I have a membership of Leshi.com, so I should be able to watch the rest in advance.
Xiaolin clicked on the playlist and then showed a satisfied smile - as expected, as a distinguished Leshi.com member, he could watch two episodes in advance.
It was said that the annual card that he accidentally bought by mistake was not completely useless.
In this case, he might as well watch the remaining two episodes together. It's not too late to take notes tomorrow night.

Unlike the previous "Soul Ferry", which needed to slowly accumulate popularity when it was first broadcast, "Psychological Crime" exploded with strong popularity from the beginning after having accumulated a basic audience base and sufficient publicity.
In just four days of the first week of its launch, the number of views reached 50 million. After the four episodes of the second week were updated, the number of views successfully exceeded 100 million, becoming the fastest self-made web drama to "break 100 million".
The outstanding viewing data has brought about a surge in popularity. On Weibo's new drama hot search index, "Psychological Crime" has surpassed the recently popular "Wind in the Wind", and is only ranked below the annual hit "Ancient Sword Qi Tan" and the highly acclaimed "War of Changsha".
Even the two terms "Psychological Crime Breaks 100 Million" and "Super Web Drama" have rushed to Weibo's hot search. Although the time is not long and the position is not high, it is already precious for a suspense web drama with a relatively niche theme.
With such outstanding data results, few people have mentioned the comments that questioned "Leshi.com's so-called super web drama is just a scam for fools" and "A broken web drama dares to benchmark American dramas, isn't it afraid of being laughed at?"
On the contrary, many WeChat public accounts and video platforms began to have a lot of complaints and interpretations to take advantage of the popularity.
"I have a perverted friend who is killing people - the online drama "Psychological Crime""
"A close reading of the online drama "Psychological Crime" - perhaps, we are all potential mental murderers"
"A review of the first year of online dramas, the popular drama "Psychological Crime" is only ranked third"
"From the hit online drama "Psychological Crime", is the online drama market the next wealth outlet?"
"..."
From film and television to finance, self-media accounts in various fields are trying to get some connection with their own channels to see if they can get a "10W+".
Facts have proved that these popularity-taking effects are not bad, and the number of views of related videos or graphic articles is indeed high - of course, it is not ruled out that it is the credit of their "shocking" titles.
As a suspense drama, it is easy to trigger discussions among drama fans. Under the guidance of such a large number of articles and videos, the foreshadowing and details buried in the plot were also pulled out by the audience one by one.
For example, what kind of painful case did the male protagonist Fang Mu experience in the past? Why does the heroine wear a heavy scarf in the middle of summer? Can criminal psychology help solve crimes?
Such topics are discussed with great relish by drama fans in the comment section of the website and in the discussion groups of various forums.
As the plot twists and foreshadowings are triggered again and again, these discussions are increasing instead of decreasing.
"Which big guy can explain to me whether the heroine is dead or not?"
"She is definitely dead. Pay attention to the pair of shoes that appeared when the doctor lifted the dead body into the car after the drama performance. They are the same shoes that the heroine wore when she appeared on the stage."
"I said that I always felt that there was something wrong with this heroine. A college student could follow the hero into the crime scene and never sit or stand behind the hero during meals. Love is an illusion."
"Wow, isn't Fang Mu so miserable? He is an orphan, his classmates died, his friends died, and his girlfriend died. There is no one around him who can accompany him to the end."
"The screenwriter is so heartless! I always thought that at least he had a girlfriend to accompany him, but I didn't expect to find out that his girlfriend was the most miserable in the end."
"Will the phantom of the girlfriend appear later? I think this girl is pretty."
"+1 above, I think it's pretty too."
"I hope the screenwriter won't take the girlfriend girl offline, at least leave some thoughts for the hero."
"Are you feeling sorry for the hero? I'm embarrassed to tell you!"
