　　Creation is solid

　　High-density output of information

　　"Outside Court" is the first suspense drama that attracted attention this summer. It pioneered a new mode of suspense series, and innovatively combined legal themes with criminal investigation and case detection, bringing a fresh atmosphere.

"Outside Court" consists of two seemingly independent units, "Blind Spot" and "Drowning Man". "Blind Spot" takes the judge Lu Nan played by Xia Yu as the main perspective, and "Drowning Man" features the lawyer played by Luo Jin. Qiao Shaoting is the main point of view, and the two appear as important roles in each other's stories. This kind of interspersed narrative between the two male protagonists is unique.

At the same time, the information output density of the two units is extremely high, the use of professional vocabulary is solid, and the plot advancement is closely linked, which is a sophisticated work.

　　"Ice Rain and Fire", which aired in mid-August, is now coming to an end. This is a high-quality anti-drug suspense drama.

The play is directed by Fu Dongyu, who also serves as the screenwriter.

Previously, "Icebreaker" directed by Fu Dongyu became a strong breakout when it was broadcast in 2019. This time, his new work "Ice Rain and Fire" has brought new ideas to the anti-drug theme.

"Ice Rain and Fire" focuses on the front-line anti-drug police officers at the border, subverting the traditional case-handling story by using different methods such as interlude and reverse sequence.

Fu Dongyu emphasized the repeated polishing of script creation. He often said to the screenwriters, "You interview 5 people to condense a character, and you interview 100 people to condense a character. It must be the latter is more typical." In "Ice, Rain and Fire", there is less suspension stimulation and more cold and realistic, which shows the solid creative attitude of the main creators.

　　"Ice Rain and Fire" is also a suspense drama from the perspective of two male protagonists. Chen Xiao and Wang Yibo play the lone hero Wu Zhenfeng and the anti-drug policeman Chen Yu respectively. The two brothers work side by side to break into the drug cartel, and finally wipe out the drug dealers.

Both of them are popular actors, and their performance in the play is in place, showing the new look of the anti-drug police in the new era.

The action scenes of the whole play account for as high as 25%, and both of them also have a high degree of completion.

The participation of powerful actors such as Wang Jinsong, Liu Yijun, Zhao Zhaoyi, Zhang Zhijian, Guo Xiaoting, Feng Jiayi, Ai Dong, Gong Lei, etc., created the wonderful group portrait of "Ice Rain and Fire".

　　"The Coward" is a youth crime-themed suspense drama. It is adapted from the novel "Swallowing Lives" written by writer Zheng Zhi. It focuses on the life changes of four teenagers over the past ten years, and focuses on two murder cases that span time and space but are highly similar For clues, a puzzle-solving process was staged.

"The Coward" adopts the interspersed narrative technique of three time and space, restores the warmth and chill under the style of the Middle East and Northeast of the original work, and writes a cruel story of youth.

There are many doubts in the play. Except for the protagonist Qin Li, there are almost "suspects per capita". Although "The Coward" has only 16 episodes, it still makes the audience unable to hold back and wait for the mystery to be revealed.

　　Exciting and addicting

　　don't reverse for reverse

　　Recently, works such as "Punishment", "The Disappearing Child" and "Are You Safe" have been broadcast successively, which once again boosted the popularity of suspense dramas.

　　The 40-episode "Punishment" is a relatively long one among the current suspense dramas, but it chooses to combat family crimes as its foothold, and tells the heroic story of two generations of public security officers to eradicate the evil forces entrenched on one side. The context has a richer content, which makes the development of the plot have a turbulent momentum, and does not appear monotonous and procrastinating.

At present, the broadcast volume and word-of-mouth of "Punishment" have steadily increased. Its popularity on iQIYI is about to exceed 10,000, and its score on Douban has reached 7.2 points.

　　"Punishment" has a large number of wonderful group scenes, staged a large-scale game of "who is undercover", among which, the famous scene of the umbrella formed by 54 playing cards made the audience scream and enjoy it.

"Punishment" screenwriter Liu Hongyan said when expounding his creative experience that reversing the plot can increase the sense of suspense, but if the smokescreen is used too much, the audience will easily get bored, "As long as it is not reversed for the sake of reversal, every time it is given It is valid information, so the audience will not have a rebellious mentality.”

　　The "Gone Child" broadcast at the end of the summer program is a relatively rare family-themed suspense drama among suspense dramas.

There have been classics like "The Hidden Corner" before, but "Gone Child" still tries to maintain its own style.

The play is adapted from the novel "Sea Anemone" by Bei Kebang. The short 12-episode length accommodates the stories of three families, forming an interlocking network of secret mysteries.

At the same time of revealing the secret, it is also the process of revealing the pain of the original family, which inspires the audience to think.

　　"Are You Safe", which just started airing on September 11, is the first work in China with the theme of network security.

It not only contains suspense elements, but also has the popular science nature of network security education, and is also in line with social hotspots and livelihood topics such as marriage, education, pension, and the workplace.

In the play, Tan Jianci, Rong Zishan, and He Lei play Qin Huai, Zhou You, and Chen Mo respectively.

In the first half of this year, Tan Jianci's Shen Yi in the suspense drama "Hunting Crime" was well received by the audience, but he is also a genius detective. Shen Yi is full of depressive atmosphere, while Qin Huai is full of human fireworks. It can be seen that Tan Jianci The performance can be freely retracted.

In "Are You Safe", the audience learned that the power bank in the bar may be an ultra-small computer that steals mobile phone information. It can use big data to carry out the "4-step method of catching rape", as well as high-tech such as "Wi-Fi probe". Operation, there is a popular science easter egg at the end of each episode, to teach the audience about network security knowledge, this design can be said to be very considerate.
