Suspense model play

This play meets the standard elements of a suspense model play:

1 plot rule one, the story is divided into several paragraphs, the normal viewing order, the suspense story has no bright spots, and it can be divided into several sections to blur the audience's sight;

2 plot rule Second, the two-line narrative, there is no clear boundary between the real story and the virtual story.

3 The rule of figure, there must be a villain with a cheat, and a cult figure with a blurred background. This is the golden routine of many suspense films. Without this setting, the show can't go on. If the background narrative is sufficient, for example, there is a very clear tragic life experience, it will become a second Japanese manga. American blockbusters do not like this set, and many people are convinced by the villain’s IQ and charm. This is very important. For example, the second part of Nolan's Dark Knight has a higher evaluation than the third part. Because the background of the clown is unknowable, but Baine and the girl have a tragic life experience.

4 The law of trick, countless details of spoilers, both images and language, suitable for textual research and detailed control. Just like the prompt description in the detective novel, only after seeing the murderer do you come back to realize it.


The most critical part of the suspense drama is that the police must be stupid and incompetent. If you want to replace it with our people's public security, the investigation method can destroy you, and will never give you the opportunity to become a legend.

In fact, I don’t love this kind of film where justice is defeated by evil, but it makes the most of light and shadow to create a suspenseful atmosphere. Although many of them are blindfolds, the template teaching materials for suspense movies are nothing to say about the spiritual realm. Meaning.

However, as a Chinese, the narrative mode I love is Shan Tianfang's storytelling. The background characters are all clear to you, but you still find it attractive.
