Suspense dramas have always been popular with the audience.
In the past year, suspense dramas ushered in an explosion, and "The Long Season" carried too many fates and memories in suspense, and won the annual drama king with a high score of 9.4.
"Thirteen Years in the Dust" was scored 8.1 by 140,000 people, which is a dark horse in spy war dramas, as well as "Disappearing Traces", "Who is he" and many other popular dramas.
But the suspense dramas in 2024 are dumb and popular, and dramas such as "Black Soil Without Words" and "Detective Chinatown 2" are not only low in popularity, but also barely pass the passing line.
But don't worry, CCTV has made a move.
"Faint Fire" was officially announced, and it will be broadcast exclusively on the Kujia Network from April 27th.
However, after watching the trailer, I can't help but worry about the quality of this drama.
The plot is suspenseful, and the casting is a success or failure?
The story setting of "Faint Fire" is still very attractive.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is immersed in the joy of the turn of the century, and a bizarre murder case breaks the originally lively atmosphere.
When Nanya (Tong Yao), who has suffered domestic violence all year round, was beaten by her husband again, she picked up the fruit knife at hand and stabbed her husband in a panic and became a murderer.
However, no one in the town spoke for Nanya, because she was the most beautiful woman in the town, aroused the love of many men, and was also the "fox jing" in the eyes of others.
Zhou Luo (played by Zhang Xincheng), who dropped out of a prestigious university and returned home, accidentally became the only eyewitness to the case, but when the police asked Zhou Luo to narrate the incident, he left a sentence -
"I killed people. ”
Then, two pairs of bloodstained hands appear.
The burned car and the girl tied up in the pool in the trailer seem to hint at the fact that the case is not simple.
Is the murder an accident or a conspiracy?
Full of the scale and texture of ancient suspense dramas, the brain-burning plot will be full of suspense points, and this sense of mystery has caught the attention of many audiences.
However, in addition to suspense, there is also an emotional line in "Faint Fire".
And after watching the casting, the expectation was disappointed.
38-year-old Tong Yao wants to stage a sister-brother relationship with 28-year-old Zhang Xincheng!
Although the age difference of 10 is common in film and television dramas and real life, these two are not compatible.
Zhang Xincheng is well-known to the audience for playing the role of Lin Yang in "Hello, Old Times", and his refreshing and handsome image is favored by many young audiences.
Even though he is now 28 years old, he is not inconsistent at all when he plays a college student, and several scenes in the trailer are full of juvenile feeling.
And Tong Yao has a sense of being a wife.
The character who is out of the circle is Gu Jia played in "Thirty Only", a shrewd and capable, sober-minded perfect wife character that matches Tong Yao's image very well.
Tong Yao's makeup in the trailer is not much different from "Gu Jia".
The CP of "Youth" and "Young Woman" really can't move, the two of them are together, and there is a sense of abruptness of coffee and garlic.
And Zhang Xincheng and Tong Yao have collaborated on the short film "Love Recall" before, and the two also play a couple in the film.
There are also many kiss scenes in the film.
Under the dim light, the two kept approaching, the atmosphere was very ambiguous, and the scenes and soundtracks were also in place, but the more they looked together, the more awkward they became.
Netizens who can even knock down anything can't stand it, and can't help but open the microphone: Sorry, like a mother and son.
The age difference between Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng is not suitable for playing mother and son, but just looking at the image, it is not too much to play mother and son.
is a good suspense drama, looking for these two people to act in emotional scenes, I don't know what the director thinks.
The casting is presumptuous, and the "sister and brother love" is spicy
I don't know if I fancy the traffic of "sister and brother love", no matter what the theme of the drama, the point of "sister and brother love" must be added to it.
Especially in the past two years, the directors and screenwriters of national dramas have become more "presumptuous", and the casting has become more and more outrageous.
It's like "Thirty-Nine Twenty-Eight" being filmed.
Dong Zijian and Sun Li play a pair of sisters and brothers, and the photo of the two in the same frame at the start-up ceremony caused a lot of heated discussions.
Sun Li was wearing sunglasses and a black leather coat, even if she didn't show her full face, she could still feel her confident and stretched state and powerful aura.
And Dong Zijian stood aside with his hands in his pockets, leaning his body without temperament, and the photo of the two had a sense of déjà vu between a domineering mother and a bad son.
In the outflow of Reuters, Sun Li walked with vigorous steps, wearing a coffee-colored coat, inexplicably having the temperament of a housewife, Dong Zijian followed behind with a plastic bag, looking reluctant.
The more materials, the more these two look like mother and son, and before the show is finished, the audience's expectations have decreased.
In the dramas that have been broadcast, there are also many spicy-eyed "sister and brother love", each one is more outrageous than the other.
For example, "Love Around the Corner".
Jiang Wenli, who was 50 years old at the time, and Ming Dao, who was 36 years old at the time, played a couple in the play, which had a kind of comedic effect of ignoring the lives and deaths of others.
Although Ming Dao was once the "Prince of Idol Dramas", he also had the greasy of a middle-aged man when he got older, and he worked hard for this drama, and his image in the play was not bad.
Jiang Wenli played a middle-aged woman when she was young, but she was at the age of playing a middle-aged woman, and she played a girl, but the "old man's smell" on her body couldn't be changed.
The kiss scenes and intimate scenes between the two have a sense of betrayal, and the audience can't accept it, and in the end, the drama also ended with a score of 2.9.
Another example, "Good Things Come in Pairs".
Most viewers are attracted by the setting of the big heroine in the play, but Lin Shuang, played by Zhang Xiaofei, in addition to the emotional line with the original partner and the official, also has a relationship line with the "little milk dog" BE.
The 37-year-old Zhang Xiaofei is in a good state in the play, but she also looks like a well-maintained middle-aged sister, her skin lines are all down, and her face is a little sagging.
And his opponent actor Zhu Zijie is only 22 years old, a proper refreshing man, full of youth when he appears, and he is like a well-behaved son in front of Zhang Xiaofei.
The screenwriter has to add such a plot to disgust the audience, but fortunately, this relationship has no result, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the passing line by word of mouth.
What the audience loves to watch is the sweet "New Year's Love", not the disgusting "Mother-Child Love", don't shoot blindly.
Epilogue:
It may be that some dramas with the theme of "sister and brother love" have created good ratings, which have made many main creators blush, aiming at this piece of fat and gnawing indiscriminately, and they haven't even avoided the suspense drama.
Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng do not match each other in terms of image or temperament, and it is embarrassing to think about acting as a couple.
Please let the directors and actors let go of the outrageous "sister and brother love", and let the audience go.
The casting does not fit the role, not only does it not have a good look, but it will also affect the reputation of the whole play, and it is consuming the traffic and audience popularity of the actors, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The reputation that has been saved with great difficulty, don't give up because of a drama.
However, the feature film of "Faint Fire" has not yet begun, and I don't know if Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng will bring fright or surprise to the audience.
Let's look forward to it!
