Among domestic genre dramas, there has always been a banner of "hit" - suspense drama.
I have to say that although the cost of suspense dramas is low, it is easy to produce high-scoring dramas, and the audience seems to like the process of peeling off the cocoon.
Looking farther away, there is "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" with a score of 8.9 and "The Silent Truth" with a score of 9.0.
Looking closer, "The Hidden Corner" scored 8.8 points, and "The Long Season" scored 9.4 points.
Why?
The reason is actually quite simple.
On the one hand, suspense dramas have a "ingenuity".
The exquisiteness of suspense elements is not only reflected in the details, but also in the narrative logic.
If the audience likes to watch it, it will spark heated discussions as the plot progresses, which will invisibly bring a sense of immersion.
On the other hand, the setting of suspense dramas always has a hidden charm.
A good suspense drama will adopt a multi-line narrative, a case within a case, and a mystery within a mystery, which will often attract the audience to watch the whole drama from beginning to end.
Recently, another suspense drama is coming, and just looking at the poster is very attractive:
"Twenty-one Days" is a 12-episode disaster suspense drama.
Disaster + suspense, many viewers may still see it for the first time.
The series is adapted from the long-form suspense novel "Hell Changes" written by Cai Jun.
With its unbridled imagination, fascinating suspense, and meticulous logic, the original book has not only won the love of tens of millions of readers around the world, but has also been translated into English, Russian, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and other languages and published in various countries.
With the original book as the foundation, it is undoubtedly the first insurance for the whole drama.
And the second insurance comes from the cast of the play.
There are Ou Hao, Zhang Xueying starring, as well as Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Wu, Wang Ting, Kong Lin and other 7 powerful factions.
The quality of such a lineup is properly guaranteed.
From the trailer, the whole story begins with the sudden collapse and settlement of a department store.
After the collapse, 13 people were trapped under the rubble.
As a result, a rescue mission in a race against time officially began.
You don't think the story is that simple, do you?
In fact, this race against time and life has brought about many tests of human nature, morality and faith.
13 people were trapped underground, and rescue will take time.
So, what's most important to them?
Survival Resources.
In a panicked and hungry situation, survivors may compete for resources, leading to many unexpected disputes.
In the trailer, there is a plot that makes people feel very scary.
He Xiaoguang (played by Ou Hao), who claimed to be a firefighter, proposed to everyone: "Our supplies are limited, and I will distribute them uniformly, and raise my hand in agreement." ”
Most people choose to raise their hands, but the heroine Haimei (played by Zhang Xueying) disagrees.
Distrust is the basis for the evil of human nature.
So in order to compete for the limited supplies, several of them fought hard, and the situation gradually got out of control.
Subsequently, He Xiaoguang escaped with everyone.
However, he called Zhou Yi (played by Jiang Wu) aside and threatened him: "Once the truth is told, he may be the next to die." ”
What is the truth? Why are the two of them the only ones who know? Why hide it?
The next one to die? Could it be that the last person who died had something to do with him?
The innocent survivors on the surface have their own ghosts behind their backs, and a suspenseful drama of human nature has begun.
The whole story is divided into two lines, one that takes place underground and the other that takes place above ground.
As one of the persons in charge of the rescue of the accident, the policeman Ye Xiao (played by Wang Zhiwen), in the process of investigation, compared clues to discover a sensational truth.
That is, this time it may not be an accident, but someone did it on purpose.
The implication is that behind the collapse of the building, it is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Moreover, if Ye Xiao concludes that it is the truth, then this ruin can be called the best crime scene in the world.
It's a good disaster + secret room + suspenseful setting, and the atmosphere comes out all of a sudden.
For the original novel, the story of "Twenty-One Days" has been changed.
In the original book, there are 23 people under the abandoned area, who have been trapped for 7 years.
By the time rescuers found them, only six people had been rescued.
The police were at the scene and found a large number of traces of murder.
The six survivors are secretive about what is happening underground, and the truth is mixed with lies.
It is not difficult to see that the scale of the original story is very large.
However, just by looking at the trailer, as well as the poster, you will find that the scale of the episode is not small.
Each person in the poster has a "word" hanging from it.
There is love, infatuation, anger, suspicion.......
Once these emotions are deviated, the evil of human nature will be born, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
In my opinion, the broadcast of "Twenty-one Days" may be a bold attempt at suspense dramas.
Not only is the subject matter novel, but the story is bizarre.
By creating two different worlds above ground and underground, it presents the faces of beings in a desperate situation, with a completely different sense of suspense.
All indications indicate that "Twenty-one Days" may be a "big move" in the suspense theme and is expected to become a hit.
Perhaps, its appearance can justify the suspense drama again.
