It's the annual summer drama season again, and all major platforms have done their best! But today, let's talk about the new actions of iQiyi, an old video website. It is said that they will launch 12 new dramas in July, and this battle is really big enough!
First, let's play a little game. Guess what, among these 12 dramas, how many costume dramas, suspense dramas and urban dramas are there? The answer is revealed: 4 costume dramas, 3 suspense dramas, and 5 urban dramas. Didn't expect that, right? Urban dramas are actually the most! It seems that iQIYI is going to fight a "down-to-earth" battle.
Speaking of costume dramas, the short drama "Morning Face on the Moon" caught my eye. "Reverse Fairy Girl" and "Moon God", this setting sounds very mysterious. But I'm very curious, what kind of immortal is this "reverse immortal"? Could it be that he is specifically against serious immortals? Imagine that a group of immortals were sitting in a precarious position discussing a big event, and suddenly a reverse fairy girl popped out and messed up their hairstyles, and the scene was probably quite funny.
Let's talk about "The Second First Meeting", the name knows that it is a sadomasochistic drama as soon as you hear it. But don't be in a hurry to dislike it, people are here under the banner of "ancient costumes crossing love light comedy". I thought, is this to cram sadomasochism, time-traveling, and comedy together? Isn't that crying and laughing and guessing the plot? This brain can't turn smoke?
In terms of suspense dramas, the name "Disappearing Elephant" is very interesting. If elephants could disappear, that would be big news! However, it is said that this is an "absurd suspense web drama", telling suspense stories in a humorous and witty way. I'm looking forward to it, after all, I usually watch suspense dramas with a serious face, and it is really a fresh experience to be able to watch a suspense drama with a smile.
Another suspense drama worth paying attention to is "Dislocation". Ma Yili and Tong Da starring, this lineup is okay! The plot is that a novel written by a writer is highly consistent with a real case. I guess the writer is going to have a rough time. But then again, if you really have this ability to predict the future, then it is better to write a novel than to buy a lottery ticket, wouldn't it be faster to get money?
The one that attracted me the most in urban dramas was "The Executive Judge". The legal dramas we usually watch are either lawyers or prosecutors, and now there is an executive judge, which is a new character. I'm curious, will they be like in American dramas, shouting "I'm against it" when they don't agree? If that's the case, then I'm sure I'm going to chase this show!
There is also a "I Am a Criminal Policeman", I heard that it may be broadcast on CCTV's eight sets of prime time. This drama tells the story of a new policeman who graduated from the police academy and returned to his hometown to become a police officer in the police station. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it. After all, the police we usually see on TV are all handling big and important cases, and it feels quite kind to be able to watch the daily work of the grassroots police.
In terms of spy war dramas, "Lonely Battle Maze" can be said to be a trump card of iQiyi. starring Huang Jingyu and Xin Zhilei, just seeing these two names, I have already begun to fantasize about their wonderful performances in the play. But seriously, iQIYI has broadcast several spy war dramas in the first half of this year, such as "Wind Chaser" and "Harbin 1944", which are quite popular. I just want to ask the screenwriters of iQiyi, have you secretly traveled back to be an agent? Otherwise, why would you have such a soft spot for this subject?
In the end, what I'm looking forward to the most is actually "Tang Dynasty Legends: Westward Journey". This is a sequel that has been waiting for years! has become a dark horse in the first season, and this season we can finally see Yang Xuwen and Yang Zhigang working together to solve the case again. Costume + suspense + weird, this combination is simply tailor-made for me! I've already begun to fantasize about whether there will be a cameo appearance of Tang monks and apprentices, and then solve the case with the protagonists. Come to think of it, the Buddha suddenly jumped out and said, "I have long seen that the murderer is him!" The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't imagine it.
With all that said, which one do you most want to watch? Anyway, I'm going to chase them all, it's a big deal to stay up late, anyway, during the summer vacation, isn't it the privilege of young people to stay up late to chase dramas? But then again, there are so many good dramas, iQIYI is the rhythm of squeezing our wallets dry! Forget it, for the sake of these good dramas, let's pay obediently. After all, if you miss it, it's a lifelong regret!
Drama followers, let's look forward to this wonderful July together! Remember to replenish your energy, get snacks ready, and we'll see you in the show!
