Bilibili 200 million read comics of the same name and adapted 3.8 billion box office actresses to join the starring role.

The mini-play Labyrinth with Cats was adapted from a phenomenal comic book of the same name with a reading volume of 200 million in bilibili. Since its launch, it has attracted the attention of a large number of comic fans and audiences. The creative team of the play is very strong, directed by director Shen Kemin, written by Ying Jun and Li Yajie, and brought together a number of new powerful actors such as Carmen Tong, Pan Zijian, Zhang Xince, Chen Peisu, Xing Wen and Bai Jiahao.

Among them, Carmen Tong, the actress Jiang Zhi (who has a cat), is a hot actress in the entertainment industry in recent years. He has appeared in famous films such as Exorcist in Tuodi, Spring Festival, I always liked you, The Thief Show, and Put All Your Eggs on it. In the explosive anti-fraud movie "Put All Your Eggs", which won 3.8 billion box office in 2023, Li Shuang, Gina’s "poison best friend", played by Tongan, left a deep impression on the audience. In order to trick her good friend Anna into the pit, Li Shuang flaunts the benefits of working abroad and constantly stirs each other’s heartstrings. It seems that every word is for the sake of girlfriends, but the "sly" look behind the smile reveals its nature. With a smile of seven points and a calculation of three points, Tongan has vividly interpreted the scheming of Li Shuang, a "poisonous girlfriend". Jiang Zhi (with a cat), the heroine of the miniseries Labyrinth with a cat, has a sunny and lively interpretation style, which perfectly interprets the image of a female cartoonist who is "confused on the surface, but sober in fact".

In the production of drama series, the miniseries "Labyrinth with Cats" also made great efforts. In order to restore comics to the greatest extent, we not only carefully created a number of fantastic scenes, but also presented a real and imaginative world to the audience 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 drama in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere without losing depth and connotation.

The cross-dimensional fantasy adventure of the heroine of atypical sweet pet comedy

The mini-play "Maze with a Cat" tells the story of a new female cartoonist, Jiang Zhi (Tonga Wen Shi), who accidentally fell into a coma during the bottleneck period of her creation, and entered her own cartoon world, becoming the heroine "with a cat" and launched a high-energy adventure integrating fantasy, crossing, dimensionality, funniness, romance, suspense, reversal and other elements. In the play, Jiang Zhi not only looks for the truth about the death of his adoptive parents in the comic book world, but also understands the true meaning of his own creation. In this process, the interaction between her and various characters is full of interest and warmth, which makes the audience feel the power of love and courage in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

As an "atypical" miniseries, The Labyrinth with Cats has three highlights that attract the audience. First, I didn’t treat the protagonist as a decoration. Although Jiang Zhi, the heroine’s female cartoonist, went through her own comic works to find the villain, it was not as smooth as other comic protagonists, and even the story changed because of her haste. The road to finding villains has repeatedly hit a wall and is full of dangers. While following Jiang Zhi’s exploration journey, the audience has added a sense of worry and curiosity. Second, the audience was not treated as an outsider. Because Jiang Zhi is wandering in his own comic works, he can interact with the off-screen audience anytime and anywhere to seek audience recognition. This novel setting makes the audience no longer just bystanders, but also participate in the plot, immersive experience of the fantasy adventure with cats. Third, I didn’t take comics as a gimmick. The cartoon Labyrinth with Cats has over 200 million readers and a large number of loyal fans in bilibili. When the screenwriter changed it, he adopted the light comedy style, leaving suspense at the end of each episode, which made the story innovatively counter-routine, and I believe it could bring different surprises to the original party.

Gao Yan sprinkles sugar all the time, and many elements attract young audiences.

In the miniseries market with serious commercial competition and homogenization, Labyrinth with Cats has attracted a wide audience with its rich story content and unique cross-dimensional setting. In addition to the main line of comic adventure full of fantasy colors, the feelings of the male and female hosts going in two directions run through the whole play, and sprinkling sugar and sweet pets is a major selling point of this atypical short play. Whether it is a young audience who likes fantasy adventure, a love fan who prefers sweet pet drama, or a mystery fan who is keen on suspense reasoning, they can find their own fun in this drama. What makes the audience look forward to is that the actors led by Carmen Tong and Pan Zijian are quite eye-catching, and they have gained an eye-catching point and competitiveness in the sweet pet drama market.
