Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 92 Another hit
A long shot of more than 20 seconds, and a long moving shot at that, is not uncommon in the film industry, but it is a bit of a luxury in a web drama.

After all, viewers who don't have much knowledge of film and television and are just watching the plot won't notice this point at all; and those who can notice it, such as Kobayashi, mostly have rich experience in watching movies, and have seen too many camera techniques, so they won't think this is amazing.

Xiao Lin recalled the interview he did when the crew of "Psychological Crime" started filming. It seemed that the director Wu Bai was a micro-film director, so it was normal for him to create such movie-level shots in his work.

However, this point can be mentioned when interpreting movies and TV shows. Firstly, it can distinguish you from other up-loaders who just complain about the plot in general; secondly, you can also establish a professional persona through this slightly less superficial knowledge of movies and TV shows.

And then again, regardless of the director's desire to show off his skills, the use of long shots in the work itself is meaningful, as it allows the audience to be brought into the background of the work more naturally and smoothly.

At least through this series of continuous shots, Kobayashi has immersed himself in the atmosphere of the story, which is filled with heat, depression and suspense.

And this level is not only present at the beginning. Throughout the entire episode, whether it is the beauty of the shots, the colors of the pictures or the silky transitions, the level remains very high.

If the computer screen wasn't so small, it would even feel like watching a movie.

This can truly be called "movie-level texture".

No wonder Leshi.com dared to shout out the slogans such as "comparable to American dramas" and "super web dramas". They really have the real stuff.

Of course, the production level is only the basis for whether a drama is good or not, the key still lies in the plot.

"Psychological Crime" was just launched today, and there are only two episodes so far, and each episode is also the normal standard 30 minutes for online dramas.

However, this short plot of less than an hour has completely attracted Xiaolin.

"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 watching the second episode, Kobayashi had forgotten the purpose of taking notes and focused on following the progress of the case and began to guess the physical characteristics of the murderer.

He finished watching the two short episodes very quickly, and it was not until he saw the preview for the next episode that he realized he had only written a few sentences in his notebook, with the rest being blank.

It seems that I can only read 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 of the episode in advance.

Xiao Lin clicked on the playlist and then smiled with satisfaction - as expected, as a distinguished member of Leshi.com, he could watch two episodes in advance.

Let’s just say that the annual pass that I accidentally bought is not completely useless.

In that case, I might as well finish watching the remaining two episodes. I can take notes and interpret them tomorrow night.

Unlike the previous "Soul Ferry", which needed to slowly accumulate popularity when it was first aired, "Psychological Crime" exploded with great popularity from the very beginning, with the previously accumulated audience base and sufficient publicity.

In just four days of its first week online, 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 series to "break 100 million".

The outstanding playback data has brought about a surge in popularity. On Weibo's new drama hot search index, "Psychological Crime" has surpassed the recently popular "Legend of the Condor Heroes", and is only ranked below the annual hit "Swords of Legends" and the highly acclaimed "The Battle of Changsha".

Even the two terms "Psychological Crime Breaks 100 Million" and "Super Web Drama" were on the hot search list on Weibo. Although the time was not long and the position was not high, it was already precious for a suspense web drama with a relatively niche theme.

With such outstanding data, few people have left comments questioning the so-called super web series of Leshi.com, such as "It's just a scam for fools" and "It's really ridiculous that a lousy web series dares to compare itself with American dramas." On the contrary, many WeChat public accounts and video platforms have begun to post a large number of complaints and interpretations to take advantage of the popularity.

"I have a perverted friend who is killing people - online drama "Psychological Crime"

"A close reading of the online drama "Psychological Crime" - Perhaps, we are all potential mental murderers"

"A review of online dramas in the first year, the hit drama "Psychological Crime" 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 methods of riding on the popularity of the product are quite effective, and the number of views of the related videos or graphic articles is indeed high - of course, it is not ruled out that this is due to their "shocking" titles.

As a suspense drama, it is easy to spark discussion among fans. Under the guidance of a large number of articles and videos, the foreshadowing and details buried in the plot were also revealed one by one by the audience.

For example, what kind of traumatic incident did the male protagonist Fang Mu experience in the past? Why did the female protagonist wear a heavy scarf in the middle of summer? Can criminal psychology help criminal investigations solve cases?

Topics like these are discussed with great relish by drama fans in the comment sections of websites and discussion groups on various forums.

And with the repeated plot twists and foreshadowings, these discussions have increased instead of decreased.

"Which big man can explain to me, is the heroine dead or not?"

"He's definitely dead. Pay attention to the pair of shoes that were revealed when the doctor carried the dead man to the car after the play. They were the same shoes the actress wore when she performed."

"I just said that I always felt that there was something wrong with this female lead. A college student could follow the male lead into the crime scene, and she would never sit or stand behind the male lead during meals. The relationship was an illusion."

"Wow, isn't Fang Mu so miserable? He's an orphan, his classmates are dead, his friends are dead, his girlfriend is dead too, there's no one around him who can accompany him to the end."

"The screenwriter is so heartless! I had always thought that at least he still had a girlfriend by his side, but I didn't expect to find out that his girlfriend was the one who suffered the most in the end."

"Will the phantom of my girlfriend appear again? I think this girl is pretty."

"+1 for the above, I think it looks good too."

"I hope the screenwriter won't kill the girlfriend, at least give the male lead some time to think about her."

"Are you feeling sorry for the hero? I'm embarrassed to tell you the truth!"
