Original title: Suspense dramas must have ideological connotations:

Recently, domestic dramas of the suspense type have gained popularity, probably due to the fire of "The Secret Corner". Subsequently, three dramas such as "Extraordinary Witness", "White Moonlight" and "Skyscraper" went online one after another, which seemed to herald the coming of a wave. Although the themes are different, the characteristics are the same: the main suspense.
The so-called suspense, the most important thing is to "suspend" the "suspense". In layman's terms, there must be "doubts"-one or more difficult puzzles; there must be "hanging"-puzzles that the audience cannot see through and guess. It can be said that as long as the above requirements are met, the basic quality of a suspense drama can usually be guaranteed. A very simple truth is that people always have a strong desire to pry into the truth.
The above three dramas are obviously going in this direction. The most orthodox of them is probably "very witnessing". Unsolved cases that have not been solved for many years, the rainy environment, the relationship between the characters looking at the flowers in the fog, the mysterious and mysterious murderer mystery... The essential elements of a suspense drama, "Extraordinary Witness" have all. What's interesting is that it is the most unpopular among the three dramas.
We can of course pick out the faults from many technical details. For example, the relationship between the characters in the play does not need to be so complicated. Everyone in the play puts "Come and doubt me" on his face, but in fact, the audience who has experienced many battles understand that the more like the murderer, the more the murderer is definitely not. For example, the lines may sound very high at first glance, but they are very nonsensical if they are fine-tuned. More important than details, the rationality of the characters' motivations is relatively lacking. Whether it is the murderer, the police, or the passerby, everyone's actions seem far-fetched and strange.
is the third suspense drama of iQiyi's "Mist Theater". "Extraordinary Witness" went from being highly anticipated to disappointing. In the final analysis, it was the creator who misunderstood the essence of the suspense. Suspense is just the bottom line of a suspense drama. It is the emotional line that attracts the audience to wait until the answer is revealed. For example, we are all worried about the fate of the children in "The Hidden Corner", this is what attracts people to watch.

In this regard, "White Moonlight" and "Skyscrapers" are much more sober. These two dramas not only have wonderful suspense plots, but also have enough emotional thickness. The former talks about marriage and trust, while the latter talks about native family and sexual harassment. They are not lacking in topicality and enthusiasm, and they have gained a good reputation. However, they all have their own problems. "White Moonlight" has many reversals, and the suspenseful atmosphere is even more arresting. Every time an episode is watched, the audience has to guess whether the husband has cheated or not. But it takes a lot of trouble, wrapped up one after another in reverse, and it is still an old story of "fighting in the middle of the house". Although we have to admit, Song Jia and Liu Mintao's acting skills are very good. The bad woman's defeat ended very well, but after the sensory stimulation, there didn't seem to be much left.
"Skyscraper" can be regarded as an upgraded version of "White Moonlight". The suspense part in this drama is even better-the narration and truth of one witness after another constitutes a "Rashomon", which is very appetizing. There are more characters, and the plot is richer. The most important thing is that the setting of women's issues is of social significance, and it is definitely not a fist. However, the technique of "Rashomon" was not pioneered by "Skyscraper" after all. If this classic technique is used too much, the audience will feel bored. Even worse, if the work is to be discussedIt's just the issue of women's independence, so the effort to create a complicated suspense story is more like "smashing mosquitoes with a cannon." In fact, due to the genre limitation of the suspense drama, the drama's discussion of social issues is obviously impossible to surpass the similar theme of "All Very Good."
From this point of view, although these three suspense dramas are not the same, they have a common flaw-they use a gorgeous appearance to package an uncomplicated theme or idea. This is precisely the most worrying aspect of domestic suspense dramas-as the suspense trend is getting stronger and stronger, will more people spend their energy on creating the splendor of formalism and forget that a film and television work can impress The real reason for the audience? After
these three dramas, "Can't Escape" starring Lu Han and Wang Qianyuan followed. A very interesting setting, it has brought a lot of gimmicks, but it is inevitable to accept the audience's scrutiny. "Suspense" is more like the routine of a martial arts master, and the ideological connotation is "internal strength", which is what a hero is really powerful. Next, I hope that creators will not use suspense as a panacea for domestic dramas, because it is not a panacea.
