The eternal god of the domestic drama market - suspense theme.
Do you still remember anti-black suspense dramas such as "Black Hole" and "Conquest"? With their surprising texture and amazing scale, one after another anti-black scenes appear one after another, which is impressive.
In recent years, works such as "Sweeping the Black Storm", "Punishment", and "Hurricane" have come out, allowing the audience to feel the charm of this theme again.
However, in 2024, there will be suspense themes, such as "Flower Order", "Guess Who I Am", "Five Elements Family", etc., but they are all various idol dramas dressed in suspense, like chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon them uselessly.
The drama to be broadcast is full of sincerity, and the costume suspense drama "Tang Dynasty Legends: Westward Journey" starring Yang Zhigang integrates anecdotes into the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the bizarre cases are integrated with rich character group portraits, bringing fantastic and bizarre mysteries to the audience.
and "Twenty-one Days" starring Wang Zhiwen, which uses a department store that suddenly collapsed to attract the audience into the game, telling the transformation of human nature under the crisis.
However, these dramas have not yet come, but it is another urban suspense drama that has taken the lead in spreading the good news.
The TV series "Faint Fire" is scheduled to land on CCTV 8 on April 27, telling the story of a small town, a homicide, a notorious woman, and a seemingly unrelated "witness".
Just watching the trailer, the texture of the picture is already full, and I can't wait for the feature film to come, so I will take the audience to relieve their hunger first.
The director of "The Wind Chaser" is another masterpiece, and there are many suspicions of murder together
"Faint Fire" is adapted from Jiu Yuexi's novel "Little South Wind", which tells the story of Qingshui Town on Chinese New Year's Eve, when everyone is immersed in the joy of the New Year, the most beautiful woman in the town, Nanya (played by Tong Yao), hacks her husband to death with an axe.
However, this simple murder case began to become confusing in the only eyewitness, Zhou Luo (played by Zhang Xincheng), who dropped out of a prestigious university and went home.
What is the truth of the case? The human nature in the town is complicated, and the sincere heart of the young man is gradually exposed to the sun.
The play focuses on the suffering women in marriage, beauty is the original sin, and the trailer begins with Nanya taking Zhou Luo to the abandoned pool and telling that she had tried to commit suicide here.
But as soon as the camera turned, Nanya got up from the water and went ashore, she complained about what happened to her, and asked rhetorically, "Is this fair?" I saw Nanya indifferently tidying up her clothes, and in the dim picture, her eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness.
Immediately afterwards, in the trailer, Zhou Luo suddenly appeared to protect Nanya, staring at her tightly and saying, "I'll take you out of here", Zhou Luo's expression was firm, was he admitted to a prestigious university drop out of school and return to Qingshui Town for Nanya?
The case was full of fog, and Zhou Luo, who was an eyewitness at the last moment, slowly hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, and told the person opposite that he was the murderer.
And at this time, the camera turned to Nanya, in the interrogation room, in the face of the police asking about her relationship with Zhou Luo, Nanya actually lowered her head and laughed, what kind of love and hatred is behind this? Could it be that the young man is just a pawn for Nanya to get rid of the crime, and is he willing to take the blame for her?
The husband who was hacked to death by an axe, the sharp knife that suddenly stabbed into the body, and the car that was ignited and exploded, who is the real mastermind of all this?
I think it's time for a decent suspense drama to debut this April.
It can be said that the drama "Faint Fire" has the flavor of a classic suspense drama, complex human nature and treacherous cases, the real murderer gradually surfaced, and the residents of the town showed their sharp minions, which was so shocking that I couldn't wait to see the feature film arrive.
After the movie, the blockbuster attacked, and the supporting roles made a surprise appearance
An urban suspense drama like this naturally needs a strong team to ensure a rich group portrait of characters, and "Faint Fire" is really full of sincerity in casting.
The first place, Huang Lu.
Actress Huang Lu has participated in the interpretation of suspenseful criminal investigation film and television dramas many times, from "Blind Mountain", "Tuina" to "Spark of the Stars" and "Three Teams", she is extremely malleable, has no so-called image baggage, and is dedicated to shaping the role.
In the new drama, Huang Lu will play the role of Chen Ling, in the stills, she indifferently held the knife and didn't stab it for a long time, is it because she can't bear it? Or are you watching the other party kneel on the ground and beg for mercy?
There is no emotion in these eyes, and it looks like a dead heart, what is going on? Just looking at the stills can make up a lot of people's brains, and I am really looking forward to Huang Lu's wonderful performance in the feature film.
second place, Tong Yao.
Magnolia watched Tong Yao, who became a hit with "Thirty Only", and in "Little Days" broadcast in March, she also contributed excellent acting skills.
In the new drama "Faint Fire", she will play the heroine Nanya. In the trailer, her whole body seems to be covered with a heavy veil, and she looks tired, but with the tenacity that emanates from her bones, it is too right.
Nanya played by Tong Yao has a heavy sense of story brought by suffering, as well as a strong will to survive in the character. Under the eyes of the young man, the charming swaying figure and seductive smile are fascinating.
third place, Zhang Xincheng.
As a powerful student of the new generation, Zhang Xincheng's role shaping ability is well-known. Lin Yang in "Hello, Old Times", Yuan Zhongxin in "The Chronicles of the Song Dynasty", and Lin Zhiwei in "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee".
His acting skills are solid, he looks cheerful and handsome, no matter what kind of role, decent or villainous, Zhang Xincheng can easily grasp the most essential characteristics of the character.
In the new drama "Faint Fire", Zhang Xincheng will play the male protagonist Zhou Luo, facing the interrogation of the police, his eyes are evasive, and the whole person looks calm and flustered.
And what impressed me the most was his weird and evil smile in the trailer, which made people get goosebumps instantly, which was too scary.
In addition to these actors, Ye Zuxin, Wang Zixuan, Zhao Haohong, Tian Xiaojie and other powerful actors will contribute outstanding performances in this drama.
epilogue
In the current situation of vulgar ancient puppet dramas and bloody urban dramas, "Faint Fire" is expected to "break out of the encirclement" with three highlights.
First, a solid script underpinning. The original work has laid a good foundation, the plot is interlocking, the suspense is laid in place, and the 28 collectives are not large after the adaptation, just watching the trailer will give enough tension, presumably the feature film will definitely be more shocking.
Second, the suspense and urban emotional atmosphere are brilliant. The texture of the play can be appreciated from the trailer, whether it is literary drama or character tension, in the presentation of the suspenseful atmosphere, there is an immersive sense of excitement, which is in line with the current audience's demands for chasing dramas.
Third, the strength of the actor is to carry the fight. The combination of young students + Mesozoic strength + drama bones, steady and steady.
I believe that as long as the drama is broadcast smoothly and the content logic is online, this drama will not be a problem, and there will finally be a decent suspense drama!
