By the third part, the Mist Theater finally warmed up.
As we all know, 2020 is the year that belongs to domestic suspense dramas, or to be precise, the year that belongs to the "Mist Theater".
This year, the "Mist Theater" produced two high-scoring works, not only the plot is addictive to watch, but also a great breakthrough in scale.
One is "The Hidden Corner", which has a double harvest of word-of-mouth broadcasts, and the other is "Silent Truth", which has a reputation that is "hard" enough to win awards abroad.
It is no exaggeration to say that these two suspense dramas are definitely the trump card of "Mist Theater".
Because of the excessive surprise of the previous work, "Mist Theater" has also become the hope of saving domestic suspense dramas.
Unfortunately, the two dramas that have been completed by the "Mist Theater" this year have hit the street, and the director and actors are more amazing than one, but the quality of the episodes is more than one crotch.
The Douban score of the two dramas "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" and "Fatal Wish" is only 9.8 points, and the first two ratings are too ugly to cause the third part of "Misty Theater" to fail to successfully take over the broadcast.
On December 5, the third part of the Mist Theater, "Who is the Murderer", was finally released.
Judging from the main creative lineup, "Who is the Murderer" looks very reliable.
Director Sun Hao, who has filmed the blockbuster "Qing Yu Nian" for 19 years, has also filmed the spy war drama "Spy War Deep Sea Sting";
Starring Xiao Yang, with "Manslaughter" and "Detective Chinatown", let us see his strength;
Lead actor Dong Zijian, who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer Actor on his debut, also showed good acting skills in "Assassination of a Novelist" and "Big River";
The lead actor Zhao Liying has always been a relatively good acting artist in 85 Huali.
Adapted from Kong Youyou's unpublished novel of the same name, the series is inspired by the serial murder case in Baiyin City, which shocked the whole country, and tells a serial murder case that occurred in Haizhou City.
Seventeen years after the truth has been sealed, people who are inextricably linked to this unsolved case are waiting for the truth to surface in their own ulterior secrets.
Of course, these are all off-site information, judging from the first two over-the-top fog theater dramas, whether the play is good or not, it depends on the script.
The good news is that although the opening of "Who is the Murderer" is not amazing, it will definitely not disappoint.
First of all, the opening episode arrests people, there are 7 cases in 2 episodes, and every second is suffocating.
At the beginning of the series, it is a strange "smile murder case".
The background of the story is in 2000, when Natsuki, who was still a child, was fostered in the home of Xia Jinlan, a female teacher with the same surname, because of the early death of her parents.
Xia Jinlan regarded Xia Mu as her own and took good care of him, but this day Xia Mu was in trouble with Xia Jinlan because she overheard the news that Xia Jinlan might be getting married.
He took advantage of the gap when Xia Jinlan went to buy fish and hid in the attic.
Xia Jinlan, who went out to buy fish, was targeted by the murderer, and when she entered the house, she was stunned with anesthetic and dragged into the house.
Soon, the murderer skillfully killed Xia Jinlan, put an alarm clock in front of her, and waited for her life to pass.
During the murderer's crime, the story line of the cold creep on the other side is also advancing.
Leng Xiaobing is a "newcomer" who has just entered the serious case team for a year, and on this day, he can finally start to contact the big case, but he did not expect to encounter the Haizhou case.
Someone called the police station and asked them to rush to a certain neighborhood to save people.
When Leng Xiaobing rushed to the community, he found that there was something strange about Xia Jinlan's family, but he was too nervous to go to the police for the first time, not only did not catch the murderer, but was stabbed by the murderer.
On the way to escape, the murderer also killed his teammate Li Lan.
Xia Jinlan's case is not unique, she is in Haizhou City, where she is located, there have been 4 cases of women being tailfed and killed before her.
The murderer's methods of committing crimes are the same, first using anesthetics to make the victims faint, then using muscle relaxants to control the victims to a "smiling" state, and finally cutting their wrists to make them lose blood and die.
The murderer is a veteran, committing many crimes, but there are no fingerprints, footprints or hairs left at the scene.
The serious crime team wanted to investigate, but had no clue, and it was precisely because of this that the murderer was even bold enough to leave the crime tools directly on the bus.
The case was closed, and the captain of the major crime team also took all responsibility and was sent to the police station.
Soon the time came 17 years later, the Haizhou case was still not solved, the original captain of the serious case had also died, and Leng Xiaobing grew from a novice to a veteran and took over as the captain of the serious case.
On this day, a new case occurred in the suburbs, and a middle-aged man was killed on the way up the mountain, and the death was extremely strange.
I have to say that Xiao Yang's new drama is really too high-energy, the impact of the smile murder case in the first episode has not eased up, and the second episode is the strange death method of stuffing grass in the mouth.
As far as the case itself is concerned, it is worth our exclamation: I really haven't seen such an enjoyable domestic suspense drama for a long time!
Secondly, people set up a sense of belt, ambush pens everywhere, and it seems that there is no good person.
In addition to the high energy of the plot, the characters in the play are also very emotional.
The male protagonist, Leng Xiaobing, was a witness to the case that year, and his friend was also killed, and this case became the master's heart disease, and it also became a hurdle that he could not get over.
On the surface, he is the most at ease with the Sea Boat case 17 years ago, but the way he appears is very confusing.
First of all, he did not shoot that year, which can be explained as the "rookie" who went to the police for the first time, but with the arrogance of the murderer and the shock when he saw the murderer's eyes, it did not feel simple.
One of his lines in the play can best reflect the whole person's personality:
"Some people can't live without guilt."
Such a person with a sense of guilt, whether he will be blackened after knowing the truth, is also a major highlight of the follow-up of the series.
Natsuki, when he was a child, didn't look like an ordinary child.
He felt very keen, and he could find out that there was a problem with the person who called the teacher, and he could also grab the point where Leng Xiaobing would let go of the murderer without shooting.
After 17 years, he appeared in the police station again, it was even more mysterious, he was not only the champion of the provincial police academy competition, the first place in the shooting competition, he had very good observation, and he had his own unique insight into case analysis.
In the first case after the debut, it can be analyzed that the nature of the case is a vendetta, and it can also be analyzed that the difference between the size of the murderer and the victim is very large.
At the same time, he is also a person who is very afraid of blood, and his psychology seems to be sick, and he can't bear to see the autopsy in the forensic room.
After 17 years, he ostensibly no longer cared about the past case, but he created opportunities to get close to Leng Xiaobing everywhere, and he also specially lived in the community where the crime occurred, which obviously could not be put down.
His mysterious smile after his appearance makes people feel hairy.
Shen Yu, played by Zhao Liying, who does not appear much at present, is not a female classmate without a story.
When she was a child, she also experienced the murder of Xia Jinlan, heard the description of the police looking for the suspect at the door of the photo studio, and when she heard the burn scar on her right hand, Shen Yu obviously had a wrong expression.
The photo studio she had just left also looked suspicious.
Judging from the updated episodes, her father has been missing for many years, once a doctor, and has convenience in the use and access to drugs, is the murderer Shen Yu's missing father?
It is worth mentioning that so far, all the characters in the play have not pulled their crotches, and in the case of an OK script, the actors have not reduced their points, which is really rare.
In addition, there are a lot of meaningful scenes left in the series, and I don't know if it is really ambushing the pen.
Like the little monkey refrigerator sticker on Xia Jinlan's refrigerator;
Two different photos that appear in the shot;
The sculpture in Shen Yu's office is similar to the alarm clock that appeared on the scene;
And the three protagonists have a very many "meaning" eye play.
I hope that these will not be the audience's "self-hi", and can be circled back in the follow-up plot.
Finally, a little bit of the episode's little bug.
Although at a cursory level, "Who's the Murderer" is highly watchable, there are many places where the details are not rigorous.
Although the series has thrown out a lot of doubts in the first few episodes, setting up a lot of suspense can hook people to look down, but in order to promote the plot more quickly, there are inevitable bugs in some details.
Simply put, there are no big problems and many small problems.
For example, a person who committed such a rigorous crime left two witnesses in the case of that year.
For example, when the old captain wanted to be sent to the police station, he handed over the big case of the haizhou case to Leng Xiaobing, who had just joined the police force for a year.
For example, the previous year, it was also said that the sea boat case would be handed over, and after the protagonist group appeared one after another, a special task force would be set up.
Another example is a Natsuki who seems to have obvious psychological problems, but can be named by the director of the department" "I want to go to any department as much as possible."
Also, the police taking people to the crime scene to give people a birthday is also a bit of a mystery.
Judging from the screenwriter's previous works, it is a screenwriter who is easy to end, which is quite heart-wrenching, and I hope that this film will not repeat the same mistakes.
Overall, "Who's the Murderer" is indeed one of the more surprising episodes that have been broadcast in "Mist Theater" this year.
Ignoring some of the bugs in the plot advancement, this drama is fast-paced, and in terms of plot settings, it is at least a good way to talk about unsolved cases.
For audiences who like "Mist Theater", it is already rare to tell a good story, and I hope that this drama can end well.
