Recently, Xiaomei discovered a "strange" drama in Bay Bay.
Sand sculpture in the second middle with a spooky atmosphere.
The brain-burning suspense is a little funny and full of fun.
Moreover, many elements are mixed together, not only without a sense of violation, but also surprisingly good-looking.
It's just --
"Pond Strange Talk"
Judging from the poster, it is full of suspense and horror visual sense, and the slogan is even creepy:
"I should stay in the pool, I shouldn't go into the world."
There is the inner flavor of Taiwan's ancient horror films.
Looking at the director, it is not simple -
Cheng Weihao
He has filmed the highlight work of Chinese crime suspense "Eyewitness Pursuit" and the famous horror film IP "Little Girl in Red".
He is a director who is good at controlling the rhythm, attracting people's hearts, and loves reversals.
This is his first attempt to direct a series, and naturally people have the idea of eating another "hard dish".
But in fact, the style of "Pond Strange Talk" is not limited to the convention.
Although an episode is only about ten minutes long, it wins in a fast pace and short and concise.
The story takes place in Taipei in 2004.
Four underage high school students sneaked out of the family's car and did not expect a car accident.
Although none of them were life-threatening, one of them was called a small fish.
Because I hurt my head, I forgot what happened that night.
After the incident, the outside world was paying attention to this incident.
And they are all investigating, how did the car accident happen? Who exactly drove this car?
Who bears this responsibility?
There is no doubt that the small fish, who were in a severe coma at the time, was the most suitable candidate.
So, the other three friends pushed the small fish out of the pot.
In this way, the three friends were recorded as minor transgressions, and the little fish was directly expelled.
After waking up, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, although he couldn't remember who drove the car, but he was sure that it must not be himself.
Because he couldn't drive at all.
The sad little fish really thought more and more angrily, so he went to the other three friends and decided to ask for an explanation.
Several people gathered at the edge of a pond.
At this time, the brothers who had been righteous and cloudy began to shirk their responsibilities, and no one admitted to framing the little fish.
With a lot of noise, several people wrestled, and all four fell into the pond.
The funny thing is that some people's glasses fell into the water, and this time they fell into it, and they couldn't see anything.
So they didn't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, kicked and fought, and messed up.
Unexpectedly, the sad little fish was once again possessed by bad luck and was kicked under the pond by a friend.
And it sinks deeper and deeper, as if falling into the sea.
By the time he swam out of the water with all his might, everything changed.
The other three friends disappeared out of thin air, and how the little fish shouted was nowhere to be seen.
Xiaoyu walked to the school confused, thinking that he would be kicked out, but the director of education asked him why he did not report to the principal's office.
The little fish froze.
Knowing that he had already dropped out of school, how could he still let himself report?
He walked through the school corridor and met three friends who had just disappeared, but the three friends seemed to have never left the school, and wondered how the little fish was wet.
This left the little fish completely confused.
Didn't everyone still fight by the pond just now? Is it an illusion?
When the little fish came to the office window, a more supernatural picture appeared:
He found another self.
Frightened, the little fish fled into the wilderness and ran directly to the Internet café to see if they could find anything.
When he turned on the computer, he realized that he had returned to the day of the car accident.
The little fish crossed.
In another time and space, the small fish that were kicked into the bottom of the pond also disappeared out of thin air, which frightened everyone.
The three men could not find the small fish and rushed to report the crime.
The police were speechless when they received the report:
"That pond behind your school?"
"That very shallow, very shallow pond?"
A pond that separates two worlds.
In this world, everyone thinks that the little fish has fallen into a pond where even pigs can't drown and disappeared.
In that world, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, Xiaoyu tries everything to keep "himself" away from the car that was involved in the car accident.
However, the small fish possessed by the secondary two diseases are often self-defeating.
At first, he was afraid of revealing his identity, so he took advantage of the "himself" to take a bath and blocked the door with double-sided glue, worried that the sticky was not strong, and foolishly blew with his mouth.
When everything was ready, I found that I was blocking the door of the 8th floor, and my home was on the 7th floor...
When he found out that "he" was in the car, he rode in and chased after it, trying to get the car to stop.
Who would have thought that it was because of his desperate pursuit that the people in the car mistakenly thought he was a policeman.
In order to get rid of the police, a group of people got on the highway, which led to a car accident.
Going around, I didn't expect that it was the little fish himself who harmed the "self" in the car accident.
The old meme of the cross-genre seems to have little novelty.
But what surprised Xiaomei in this drama was that there was not only one small fish in the world that the little fish crossed back.
There are also small fish that travel from different points in time.
While he was stalking "himself", in corners he didn't know, he also seemed to be the one being stalked.
This is very frightening.
Is the little fish out of his soul? Or did you enter parallel space-time?
And the most important question: Who is the person driving the car?
The police who looked for the small fish in the pond had long said that the location of the small fish's injury was inferred:
The little fish should be sitting in the co-pilot, not the person driving the car.
And the police also found a girl's stud in the driver's seat.
So, the driver is a girl?
The whole story is like a huge chess game, getting bigger and bigger.
Betrayed, deceived, entangled with each other, four high school students in the age of innocence.
What is it that makes them invariably choose to plant small fish?
These questions have an incomparable charm that appeals to people who want to find out more.
As we all know, Cheng Weihao is a director who pays special attention to the creation of the environment.
The rainy weather in "The Pursuit of witnesses" is endless, as if to indicate that everyone in the film is shrouded in haze;
The thick fog of the near future world in "Soul Hunting" also seems to warn the audience that the truth is like looking at flowers in the fog, and it is difficult to see the truth.
In "Pond Strange Talk", this sense of depression always appears.
Dark filters, ponds glowing with dark green light, and the corners of the infinite staircase all give a sense of suspense.
Especially from a third-party perspective to spy on yourself, the horror will come to your face.
There is also the pond, which draws out the selfish desires of human nature and guides this group of children to the bottomless whirlpool.
