The charm of the series lies in the fact that the audience can temporarily forget the reality in which they are located, and enjoy the fantasy world created by the playwrights wholeheartedly.
Whether it's cyberpunk in Blade Runner, where technology lives upwards and downwards, or Gotham City, where robberies occur every day and is shrouded in evil, or "Interstellar Exploration" where technology has developed to the point where you can travel through the universe for months to find your father.
Science fiction movies use hardcore surreal settings to make the audience feel disconnected from reality, while some contemporary episodes use their bizarre plots to surprise the creators while lamenting that "such a ridiculous life is definitely not real".
The Japanese dramas "The Wonderful Story of the World", "Marquee Corporation", "Shimo kitazawa's Tiger And Dragon" and the British drama "Secret Affair No. 9" are all high-energy dramas that are both independent and brain-opening in each episode.
"The Wonderful Story of the World" is a fantasy series that began broadcasting in Japan in 1990, and each episode is a separate short story, either adapted from urban legends or adapted from current hot spots.
There are not only warm fantasy stories, but also dream machines that are extremely frightening.
"Marquee Co., Ltd." is to find the hidden reality, the secret of the mother or the true image of the wife by watching each person's different memories, and there is always a story that can make you feel a little cool behind it.
"The Worst Day of Shimo kitazawa's Life" is a drama that plays the dramatic conflict to the extreme in a short period of time, mainly based on the inner monologue of the characters, which is both drama and real, like us who are usually rich in inner activities.
"Secret Story 9" is also such a series that uses extraordinary imagination to build a wonderful world.
It has been critically acclaimed since the first season aired in 2014 and has also won the British Television Academy Award for Best Comedy Screenplay.
More importantly, the two screenwriters are also the main actors, and in the 26 episodes that have been broadcast, they have played completely different roles in each episode, and the supporting role of the main character of the iron hit, Liu Shui, can be regarded as a large-scale cross-dress scene.
One of the episodes was the most impressive.
The moving company came to the client's house as promised to move, but the hostess did not speak in the preface, which was very suspicious
Not only was he panicked, but he couldn't answer how long he had lived here.
So it can be basically judged that this is not her home
Until her blonde man in a pink nightgown walked in and chatted slightly awkwardly about home
It can also be seen from such awkward and intimacious interactions that the two are not husband and wife
And judging from the level of panic of the woman, she is likely to be the one who is coerced
But the two of them agreed that today was not a good day to move, and together they urged the moving company to leave quickly.
This is clearly an effort to hide something.
However, at this time, an old man walking trembling and trembling came downstairs, and without saying a word, he spat out a mouthful of old blood on the blonde man
Just when the mover was anxious to find a towel, he found a corpse sitting on the toilet in the bathroom
In a panic, he knocked down the carpet standing by the door and found a corpse rolled inside
The blonde man with insulating gloves suddenly raised his hand to him, but the next second he was stabbed with a screwdriver
At this time the hostess, who was speaking she could explain, turned the timeline back ten minutes earlier.
The blonde man, who had not yet put on his pink pajamas, made a cup of cocoa for the old man with Alzheimer's disease.
The pink nightgown was only taken casually when he went downstairs to answer the door, and the person who came was the screwdriver hand mentioned above
Just as the moving car came, she was looking for something in the room, but suddenly the blonde man came in with a gun and threatened her that she must cooperate
Time goes back ten minutes again.
The better the visiting real estate agent was discussing the sale of the house with the blonde man, and just as the transaction was about to be completed, he found the blonde man hiding a body on the sofa.
After some struggle, the agent hid in the unlocked bathroom he had just introduced
As a result, the blonde man in a hurry smoked the foot pad under his feet and lost his center of gravity and crashed into the pool and died
So he became the corpse in the bathroom.
The blonde man, covered in blood, stripped off only his underwear.
Then he rolled the real owner into the carpet and carried it to the door
At this moment, the blonde man heard a shout from upstairs.
There are still people upstairs!
The blonde man went upstairs to take a look and found an old man soaking in a bathtub.
Although the time can go back ten minutes again, Shenma does not want to completely spoil the story.
Throughout the seasons, many of the stories of Secret Story 9 are dark stories of intrigue and murder.
There are manipulators who get the best actress, there are girls who imprison girls for selfish desires, there are those who can't be saved for fame and fortune, there are those who don't hesitate to blow black whistles for the sake of beloved teams, there are those who tease others for ratings, and there are those who conspire to act for fraud.
There are those who kill competitors in order to get jobs, those who kill innocent girls for sacrifice, those who kill their companions to cover up the truth, those who kill those in the know for the purpose of monopolizing ill-gotten gains, and those who instigate killing for perverted affection.
In short, all kinds of funny beings in the world can be seen in the play.
The screenwriters show from all angles that people are led by interests, and it seems common to do the most incomprehensible things.
Steve Pemberton and Reece Shersmith are not only writers but also lead actors, they formed the theatrical group "Gentlemen's League" with Mark Gatis and Jeremy Dessan in college.
The four-member television series of the same name, "Gentlemen's League", began airing on the BBC in 1999, and began to launch a theatrical version in 2000 and performed more than 100 times at the Royal Theatre in London.
Whether it is a drama or a stage play, the Douban score is all 9 points or more.
The series tells a variety of stories that take place in RoyceTon, and despite the many characters, the main cast is still the same trio, Jeremy Dessan participated in the screenwriting but basically did not participate in the performance (he only starred in "The Gentleman's Revelation Alliance").
They can be students and teachers who love and kill each other
It can also be a circus leader who always thinks that others are called Dave and robs his daughter-in-law everywhere.
Extremely xenophobic local shop owners and hostesses who only serve locals
The popular spring-legged troupe
None of the characters have stable emotions, and each has a particularly distinct personality trait.
It is also these characteristics that make them have countless multi-line and parallel stories between them, and the camera constantly switches between different stories that take place in each character.
In the film series Of Gentlemen's Revelation League, the characters of Reuss travel to reality and negotiate with several screenwriters
Ask them not to let Royce be blown up, because the characters want to continue to live in it.
And in the "2017 Anniversary Special Edition of the League of Gentlemen", there is also the classic number "9" of "Secret Matter 9", which is also a small surprise for the audience.
Similarly, in the latest episode of "Secret Affair No. 9", the "popular" mother and son of "Crazy City" and Mr. Jelly, the clown who is always mistaken, appear.
Know that Mother and Mr. Jelly are both played by Reese, one of the screenwriters of "Secret Affair 9".
Not only did it explain the ending of the mother and son, but also let them kiss the mouth that they did not kiss that year.
"Crazy City" is a suspenseful horror comedy that is not normal for all employees.
The five unrelated characters are subjected to the same threatening letters, their unknown past is gradually revealed, and they have made countless absurd moves to cover up the dirty facts.
The show was written by Steve and Reese and co-starred in more than a dozen roles.
The story as a whole is darker than That of League of Gentlemen, and the makeup is also of a high standard to the point of no violation.
But then again, with so many lighthearted and pleasant dramas not to watch, why watch such a grotesque and terrifying drama?
Happy lives are the same, and dark stories have their own charms.
A happy life can be imagined by anyone, and there is not much test for the imagination of the screenwriter.
However, creating a character full of distorted personality in a short period of time by relying on lines and performances is a great test of the screenwriting skills and the acting skills of the actors, although two people in this play have undergone a double test.
Being able to condense the various unsatisfactory summaries of life into a series may also satisfy the audience's idea of looking at the world from another perspective, after all, many people have the desire to spy on the lives of others, especially the lives of alternative people.
Each episode of the episode mentioned above is like a piece of chocolate, and as long as you don't eat it in your mouth, you will never know what it tastes like.
Because every episode is a surprise brought to the audience by the screenwriter!
Even if you're at home, you can still travel together in the wonderful world created by the screenwriters.
After all, the 12 consecutive reviews of "Gentleman's League" + "Crazy City" + "Secret Affair No. 9" were the most enjoyable weeks that Shenma spent.
