Millennium Night. The whole town gathered by the river to watch the fireworks.
The car exploded, the flames shot into the sky, and the sound was mixed with the sound of fireworks, which was confusing.
The sharp knife in the woman's hand stabbed the man's chest, bleeding profusely and he fell to the ground.
The boy was holding a child in his arms. He was in shock and ran away in panic.
Director Yao Xiaofeng follows the hit "Storm Chaser" with another suspense drama " Dark Fire ", which has a stunning opening.
The drama stars Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng , and is broadcast simultaneously on Youku White Night Theater and CCTV 8.
This is really a suspense drama with a very special look and feel.
On the one hand, its subject matter is very sharp and explosive, and the character conflicts are fierce. The opening scene is a murder that occurred on Millennium Night.
On the other hand, it is so beautiful. Qingshui Town is like a paradise, and every frame is a beautiful picture.
Although the town is beautiful, the people say it is scary.
Nanya (played by Tong Yao), who is beautiful and has many good and bad qualities, goes out to buy some fruit, and she can hear the women in the neighborhood gossiping about her.
Zhou Luo (played by Zhang Xincheng), the former top scorer in the college entrance examination, dropped out of school and returned home, and there were all sorts of unpleasant things being said about him.
Interpol Lin Fanglu (played by Ye Zuxin) who passed the exam from Qingshui Town instinctively resisted being arranged by his father-in-law to go to Qingshui Town for training.
He knows very well that Qingshui Town is a society of acquaintances, and every household is inextricably linked, making it difficult to carry out work.
Lin Fanglu took over the Millennium Night murder case as soon as he came to report.
The suspect has surrendered and is Nanya, the wife of the deceased.
According to Nanya’s confession, she had been subjected to domestic violence by her husband Xu Yi for a long time and wanted to divorce but could not.
recently discovered that Xu Yi was involved in the bridge collapse case and planned to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate a divorce with Xu Yi.
Xu Yi became murderous towards Nanya. When her husband swung an ax at her, Nanya killed her husband out of defense.
Zhou Luo, who came to drop off the child, was the only witness, and his testimony was not inconsistent with Nanya's confession.
The case seems simple, but during the investigation, Lin Fanglu discovered that most people in this town made negative comments when they mentioned Nanya.
Even high school students know that Nanya is a broken shoe and they have to step on it.
Nanya is the most beautiful woman in Qingshui Town, and also the woman with the worst reputation.
Everyone in the town knows that Nanya has been subjected to domestic violence by Xu Yi for a long time, and has gone to the police station many times.
But most people are very tolerant of Xu Yi and think he is a good person. The reason for this is because Nanya is immoral and cuckolds women. Is a man not allowed to go crazy?
Nanya never refutes, the rumors in the town are widely known, and if they are told enough, they are all taken seriously.
Who would have known that the rumors in town about Nanya's promiscuous relationship between men and women spread from her husband Xu Yi.
Not only did he deliberately stage a plot to slander Nanya, but he also colluded with his cousin's family to stage a "catch an adulterer" drama and humiliate Nanya in public.
Xu Yi is sick, and he just wants to tie Nanya to him in this way to satisfy his perverted desire for control.
In the play, while using the "present tense" to advance the main line of solving the "Millennium Night Husband Murder Case", it also uses the "past tense" to interpret another emotional undercurrent.
That is the emotional line between Zhou Luo and Nanya.
The adolescent Zhou Luo developed an uncontrollable emotion for the mature and beautiful Nanya.
He accidentally found a collection of poems that Nanya had borrowed in the library, and by some strange combination of circumstances, he secretly took it back to read.
Those verses describing lust burned the boy's chest, making him extremely intolerable in that hot summer, causing him toss and turn.
But when Zhou Luo couldn't help but reach out to Nanya's back, he was pushed away and scolded, but his first reaction was to get angry: What are you pretending to be?
Zhou Luo hated the people in the town for maliciously slandering Nanya, and at the moment of being rejected, he himself became a person like them, saying the same insulting words to Nanya.
This time they broke up on bad terms, leaving Zhou Luo with a lump in his throat. He felt so aggrieved that he wanted to die. He wished he could stuff all those "insincere" words back into his mouth.
Zhou Luo went to Nanya to apologize, but Nanya refused to forgive:
"The sword hurts the body, and the words hurt the heart.
There is no reason to take back the words spoken.
I smiled at you, but you said I was frivolous.
I said to you Friendly, you said I was slutty.
I was sincere to you, but you said I was humiliating myself.
Now you find that I am not so easy to negotiate, and you think I am mean and unreasonable, right? A very different female image emerged from the previous scene.
The director made the story line between Zhou Luo and Nanya into a picture intertwined with poems.
With the picturesque background of the small town, the heat and confusion of summer, in these timeless poems, Zhou Luo appreciates beauty and the taste of love for the first time.
It is hard to imagine that a suspense film that started with a murder case has turned into flowing lines of poetry at this point. Those words jump around, witnessing the growth and awakening of the young man, and carrying the ups and downs of the protagonist's fate.
It turns out that suspense dramas can still be shot like this.
Director Yao Xiaofeng’s fresh approach is eye-catching and surprising.
has a unique poetic beauty that closely follows the character and destiny of the characters. At the same time, it does not deviate from the main plot, but is closely intertwined, telling the story of this beautiful and isolated town.
At the same time, the main line of suspense never relaxes, tightening and bringing out more doubts, extending into richer details, and approaching the shocking truth and complex human nature step by step.
The quality of this drama is too charming. I really hope more people can see it and those who like it will like it very much.
The whole drama has a total of 28 episodes, 8 episodes have been released so far, and can be watched on Youku platform.
If the quality of the first 8 episodes can be maintained, the reputation of this drama will never be low. It has great potential to be a hit. I hope it will become more popular.
Domestic suspense, the future is promising.
