Suspense dramas have always been a popular theme in domestic dramas.
Not to mention far away, just look at last year, dramas such as "The Long Season" and "Thirteen Years in the Dust" have achieved a double harvest of word-of-mouth and popularity, among which dark horse works such as "Who Is He" and "Disappearing Traces" are indispensable.
But this year, suspense dramas have fallen silent, not only the number has decreased, but the reputation of the broadcast "Black Soil Without Words" has also fallen.
As a result, the audience pinned their hopes on the drama to be broadcast.
The most anticipated is undoubtedly "Above the Clouds" starring Sun Li and Luo Jin.
A bizarre case of the disappearance of a police officer leads to a criminal network woven by a criminal group, and I can't wait to watch the feature film just by watching the trailer.
However, "Above the Clouds" has not waited yet, but first waited for CCTV's "Faint Fire".
Only 2 episodes were broadcast, and the peak ratings easily exceeded 1.98, and the data is very eye-catching.
After reading it in one go, I want to say that CCTV has found a treasure this time.
The plot is full of suspense and fascinating
A good suspense drama can catch the audience's attention in the first second of the feature film.
"Faint Fire" has no cumbersome introduction, and the beginning of the story is a case around the whole play: Nanya (played by Tong Yao) murdered her husband.
On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1999, the town's square was lit up with fireworks to welcome the arrival of the millennium.
In the alley, the young man looked frightened and held the child in a panic, and the camera turned, and in the dim room, a woman with blood on her hands and a man with a knife on her chest was lying in front of her.
The camera quickly switches between squares and alleys, and a huge sense of oppression is wrapped in tension.
The woman's name is Nanya, according to her confession, the person she killed was her husband Xu Yi (played by Liu Junxiao), Nanya couldn't stand the domestic violence and repeatedly filed for divorce to no avail.
By chance, Nanya found Xu Yi's criminal evidence and threatened her with divorce, but she didn't expect to be subjected to more serious violence, so she picked up the fruit knife next to her and stabbed him in a panic.
And all this happened to be seen by Zhou Luo (played by Zhang Xincheng), that day, his mother asked him to send Nanya's daughter back, and walked to the door to see what was happening in front of him.
The confessions of the two are tight, but the experienced criminal policeman Lao Chen (played by Tian Xiaojie) and the newly transferred veteran criminal policeman Lin Fanglu (played by Ye Zuxin) always feel that something is wrong.
Because there are too many strange things about the case.
Xu Yi's car caught fire and spontaneously combusted on Chinese New Year's Eve, but after the police investigation, it was found that it was arson, and the repeating youth group headed by Zhou Luo seemed to have hidden something in the car.
Zhou Luo didn't call the police immediately after seeing Nanya kill someone, but waited until six o'clock in the morning to tell the police everything, but people can explain his behavior when they are subconsciously flustered.
Nanya has been beaten by her husband all the year round, but the people in the town have blamed Nanya for all kinds of yellow rumors, and Zhou Luo has also seen Nanya beaten many times, and is the only one who speaks for Nanya.
What's more, Zhou Luo is also an enthusiast of crime mystery novels, and at the time of the crime, there was another hour and a half of time when no one proved his whereabouts.
Was Nanya's murder of her husband a wrongful murder or an elaborate conspiracy? What was the secret that the teenagers hid in the car? Where did Zhou Luo go during that time?
The audience seems to be immersed in a script kill, and each character seems to have an ulterior secret, which makes the audience's brain run wildly.
Everyone follows the perspective of the protagonist and looks for the truth from the cocoon.
All members have acting skills and a high degree of role adaptability
In suspense, the performance of the actor is crucial, and if one person can't support the role, the play will collapse.
Fortunately, "Faint Fire" found a group of good actors.
The first place, Zhang Xincheng.
Most of the images Zhang Xincheng has created on the screen in the past are sunny teenagers like Lin Yang in "Hello, Old Times".
But his role in the new drama is very different from the previous role, Zhou Luo is thoughtful and incomprehensible.
When he first met Nanya, there was a trace of ignorant love in his eyes, and at the same time, he was a little evasive, he knew that the other party had a husband, but he couldn't control his gaze.
And when he saw Nanya being verbally insulted, he frowned and looked at the other party's departing back, and the distress in his eyes couldn't be stopped, but he couldn't do anything.
In the two scenes, Zhang Xincheng put Zhou Luo's hidden love for Nanya on the surface, and also made the audience more convinced that he was inseparable from the case.
second place, Tong Yao.
Tong Yao is playing a wife again, but Nanya in the new drama is not easy to mess with.
She was gossiped to her face, picked up something and hung the other party's skirt on the chair, making her ugly on the street, and turned around to look calm, but her head held high and her eyes were full of her pride.
When she first came into contact with Zhou Luo, she bent down and accidentally put her wet hair on the other party's arm, and then raised her eyes to observe Zhou Luo's reaction before she began to apologize.
Although she is the protagonist, Tong Yao does not have many scenes in the first two episodes, and I think the brilliance of this role is still to come.
third place, Ye Zuxin.
Lin Fanglu played by Ye Zuxin is a policeman who has been transferred to a small town, as long as he appears in the camera, he always looks righteous and awe-inspiring, giving people a sense of security.
But when he asked Zhou Luo about the incident, he had a very strong sense of oppression in his eyes, a shallow smile between his eyebrows, and a bit of threat in the temptation.
Officer Lin didn't believe that Zhou Luo was just a simple eyewitness, and Ye Zuxin grasped the character's mind just right, so that it would not make people feel evil, and at the same time it had deterrent power.
It is such a brilliant character who can dig out the final truth.
fourth place, Tian Xiaojie.
In the new play, Tian Xiaojie plays the role of the criminal policeman Lao Chen, he bends over and knocks on the melon seeds, his eyes drift to the side, and he talks about the case in his mouth, and an experienced old criminal policeman character stands up all of a sudden.
As soon as the old drama bones appeared, the taste was right.
In addition, there are also actors such as Wang Zixuan, Huang Lu, and Wang Qing in the play, all of whom have their own characteristics, which makes the whole drama lively.
Epilogue:
Although "Faint Fire" only aired 2 episodes, it maintained the most original sense of suspense in terms of both inside and face.
Lizi is a good story.
The main line of the story unfolds slowly, the audience doesn't seem to feel chaotic at all, and gradually realizes the wonder of entering the play, and the sense of reasoning and participation is not weak, which is also the source of the charm of the whole play.
Face is a good perception.
Specific to the play, it is the scene layout, camera movement, scheduling and shooting, which directly spread out the living environment of the people in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River in front of the audience at that time, diluting the tense and depressing atmosphere of the series.
The mystery of the main story and the bitterness of the little people can be felt in this drama.
As long as the follow-up plot is stable, it is another suspense hit, do you like this drama?
