suspense drama has always been a popular theme in domestic dramas. Not to mention
, just look at last year, dramas such as " The Long Season " and "Thirteen Years of Ashes" have achieved a double harvest of word-of-mouth and popularity, among which there are also dark horses such as "Who is He" and "Traces of Disappearance" work.
But this year, suspense dramas have ushered in a lull. Not only have the number been reduced, but the reputation of " Black Earth Silent " and other broadcasts has also dropped.
As a result, the audience placed their hopes on the drama to be broadcast.
The most anticipated one is undoubtedly "Above Dark Clouds" starring Sun Li, Luo Jin.
A bizarre disappearance of a police officer leads to a criminal network woven by criminal groups. Just watching the trailer makes me impatient to watch the full movie.
However, "Above Dark Clouds" has not yet arrived, but CCTV's " The Dark Fire " has come first.
has only aired 2 episodes, and the peak ratings easily exceeded 1.98. The data is very impressive.
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 that can catch the audience's attention in the first second of the film.
"Dark Fire" does not have a cumbersome introduction. The story opens with the case that surrounds the entire drama: the murder case of Nanya ( Tong Yao).
On New Year's Eve in 1999, the square in the town was brightly lit, and people lit fireworks to welcome the arrival of the new millennium.
In the alley, a young man looked frightened and was holding a child in panic. When the camera turned, in a dark room, a woman's hands were covered with blood, and in front of her lay a man with a knife on his chest.
The camera quickly switches between the square and the alley, and a huge sense of oppression and tension rush towards the face.
The woman's name was Nanya. According to her account, the person she killed was her husband Xu Yi ( Liu Junxiao ). Nanya could not bear the domestic violence and filed for divorce many times to no avail.
By chance, Nanya discovered Xu Yi's criminal evidence and threatened her with divorce. Unexpectedly, she was subjected to more serious violence. In panic, she picked up the fruit knife next to her and stabbed him.
All this happened to be seen by Zhou Luo ( Zhang Xincheng ). That day, his mother asked him to send Nanya's daughter back. He walked to the door and saw what happened in front of him.
The confessions of the two men are perfectly consistent, but the experienced detective Lao Chen (played by Tian Xiaojie) and the newly transferred veteran detective 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 on New Year's Eve. However, after police investigation, they found that the fire was caused by arson. The Dudu Youth League headed by Zhou Luo seemed to have something hidden in the car.
Zhou Luo did not call the police immediately after seeing Nanya murder, but waited until six o'clock in the morning to tell the police everything. However, his behavior can be explained by a person's subconscious panic.
Nanya has been beaten severely by her husband all year round, but people in the town blame Nanya and give her all kinds of scandals. Zhou Luo has also seen Nanya being beaten many times and is the only one who speaks for Nanya.
What's more important is that Zhou Luo is an enthusiast of crime mystery novels. When the crime occurred, there was another hour and a half where no one could prove his whereabouts.
Was Nanya's murder of her husband a wrongful killing or a carefully laid conspiracy? What is the secret hidden by the teenagers in the car? Where did Zhou Luo go during that time?
The audience seems to be immersed in a script killing. Each character seems to have an ulterior secret, making the audience's brains run wildly.
Everyone follows the protagonist's perspective and searches for the truth.
The whole cast is talented in acting, and the roles are well adapted.
In suspense, the performance of the actors is crucial. If one person cannot hold up the role, the play will collapse.
Fortunately, "Dark Fire" has found a group of good actors.
ranks first, Zhang Xincheng.
Most of the images Zhang Xincheng has created on the screen in the past were the sunny young man like Lin Yang in "Hello, Old Time".
But his role in the new drama is very different from his previous roles. Zhou Luo has a deep mind and is unpredictable.
When he first met Nanya, there was a trace of ignorant love in his eyes, and at the same time there was a little avoidance. He knew that the other party had a husband, but he couldn't control his eyes.
When he saw Nanya being verbally insulted, he frowned and looked at the other person's leaving back. He couldn't stop the distress in his eyes but was helpless.
In two scenes, Zhang Xincheng brought Zhou Luo's hidden love for Nanya to the surface, which also made the audience more convinced that he was inseparable from the case.
is second, Tong Yao.
Tong Yao plays a wife again, but Nanya in the new drama is not someone to be trifled with.
She was gossiped in front of someone, picked up something and hung the other person's skirt on a chair, making him look embarrassed in the street. When she turned around, her face was calm, but her head held high and her contemptuous eyes showed her pride.
When she first came into contact with Zhou Luo, she bent down and accidentally put her wet hair on his arm. Then she raised her eyes to observe Zhou Luo's reaction before she began to apologize. This detail made people doubt that getting close to Zhou Luo was just part of her plan. One ring.
Although she is the protagonist, Tong Yao didn't play much in the first two episodes. I think this character's brilliance is yet to come.
is third, Ye Zuxin.
Lin Fanglu, played by Ye Zuxin, is a policeman who was 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, there was a strong sense of oppression in his eyes, a slight smile between his eyebrows, and a hint of threat in his probing.
Officer Lin does not believe that Zhou Luo is just a witness. Ye Zuxin has the character's thoughts just right, not making people feel evil, but at the same time intimidating.
It is such a talented character that can unearth the final truth.
ranks fourth, Tian Xiaojie.
In the new drama, Tian Xiaojie plays the role of detective Lao Chen. He bends over and cracks melon seeds, his eyes drift to the side, and he talks about the case. The role of an experienced veteran detective suddenly stands still.
As soon as the veteran actor appears, the taste is right.
In addition, there are also actors such as Zixuan, Huang Lu, and Wang Qing joining the cast, each with their own unique characteristics that make the whole drama come alive.
Conclusion:
Although "Gloomy Fire" has only aired 2 episodes, it has maintained the most original sense of suspense in both content and appearance.
里子 is a good story.
The main story line slowly unfolds, and the audience does not seem to feel confused at all. They gradually realize the wonder of being in the drama. The sense of reasoning and participation are not weak, which is also the source of the charm of the whole drama.
face is a good look and feel.
Specific to the play, it is the scene layout, camera movement, scheduling and shooting, which directly unfolds the living environment of the people in the Jiangnan town at that time in front of the audience, diluting the tense and depressing atmosphere of the play.
The mystery of the main story and the joys and sorrows of the little characters can be felt in this drama.
As long as the follow-up plot is stable, it will be another suspenseful hit. Do you like this drama?
