In 2020, after the Mist Theater launched plays such as "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth", it successfully raised the audience's expectations for such theme works, and the first play on the line this year was "Octagonal Pavilion Mist" starring Duan Yihong, Hao Lei and other powerful factions.
Originally, "The Mist of octagonal pavilions" is the most optimistic drama by the audience, both Wang Xiaoshuai, the director who has directed "Long Day", and actors with online acting skills, especially Duan Yihong, who are professional in suspense dramas in recent years. However, this drama only got a passing score in Douban, and from the overall reputation, it can only be regarded as a three-star drama.
Although there are still many plays in the Mist Theater that are about to be launched, the difference between "Octagonal Pavilion Mist" and the audience's expectations is too large, but the audience is not so looking forward to the follow-up plays.
However, Hunan Satellite TV, which is not so good at suspense dramas, this time it threw out a "Wang Bomb" drama - "Twelfth Second". At present, the drama network broadcasting members have updated 8 episodes, and the Douban is full of praise, with 4 stars and 5 stars of evaluation. Even after watching "Twelfth Second", the only problem that the audience picked out was that the background sound was a bit large.

A large part of the reason why this play was not included in the list of suspense drama fans from the beginning is that the cast of "Twelfth Second" is not as eye-catching as "Octagonal Pavilion Mist". The two protagonists, Wan Qian and Ren Zhong, are well known to the audience, but there is no suspense drama with excellent reputation.
Although the supporting cast has a drama-level actor like Shi Zhaoqi, most of the supporting roles are raw faces for the audience.
However, this does not affect the overall acting level of this play, because the protagonists are Wan Qian and Ren Zhong, the main plot revolves around the two.
The male protagonist Zhao Yichen, played by Ren Zhong, is a policeman and a good husband, and Ren Zhong interprets this role very groundedly. Because the human setting abandons the police image of the reasoning school and the detective school, the role of Zhao Yichen is closer to the police in real life, and Ren Zhong's acting skills make the character more lifelike.
But in contrast, Wan Qian's acting skills are obviously more eye-catching. Following the one-person multi-role of "Hello Crazy", Wan Qian once again tried to play different roles in "Twelfth Second". She plays both Zhao Yichen's wife Hu Jiaying and the twin sister Xu Lian of this role. The appearance is very similar, the voice is exactly the same, the only difference is that Xu Lian is more cold, A and sassy.
I have to say that wan qian with short hair is indeed full of aura. In previous plays, most of the roles played by Wan Qian are mainly light makeup, but this time Xu Lian's role is flaming red lips, and Wan Qian has subverted her image.
In the play, Wan Qian and Ren Zhong have a lot of rival scenes, the two have to play a husband and wife, but also to suspect each other, the transformation of emotions and roles has higher requirements for the actor's acting skills. However, the two powerful actors are playing, which can be called an acting award, and will not let the audience play at all.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > suspenseful texture and confusing plot</h1>
The interpretation of the role by the powerful actor is on the one hand, the success of a suspense drama, the key is still the suspenseful plot.
In "The Mist of the Octagonal Pavilion", the acting skills of Duan Yihong, Hao Lei, Wu Yue and other powerful actors are also online, but the problem is that the suspense texture of the play itself is insufficient. Although "The Mist of the Octagonal Pavilion" has enough suspense like most suspense dramas, the character setting is not pleasing enough, each character is very superstitious, and seems to have mental problems, which can easily lose the sense of suspense, but like a horror movie.
"Twelfth Second" is different, from the beginning of the play to the case to the audience, the policeman Zhao Yichen's wife left an 11-second telephone alarm recording and then mysteriously disappeared. However, this is not the most bizarre part of the case, Zhao Yichen, who has been investigating his wife's disappearance for many years, suddenly discovers that his wife still has a hidden identity.
The main line of the story is still Zhao Yichen investigating the murder of his wife, but from a disappearance case to a murder case, and in the process he meets his twin sister Xu Lian, who is the same as his wife.
Through the form of memory flashbacks, the play explains more of the past of the two people and releases more information. Why was Zhao Yichen's wife murdered, and why did the forensic doctor change the murder to an accidental death? The stacking of layers of information makes the case more confusing.
The suspenseful texture created by "Twelfth Second" through the plot is full of points, and the overall tone is in line with the audience's expectations for a suspense drama. Following such a plot, the audience naturally begins to look forward to the subsequent development and try to find the truth.
But compared to "The Octagonal Pavilion Mist", "Twelfth Second" as a suspense drama is obviously more pure. However, at present, the plot has been updated more than halfway, "Twelfth Second" is also a small volume of suspense drama, according to such a standard, I am afraid that after the end of the play, many viewers will feel that it is not enough to watch.
