This may be the screenwriter deliberately pursuing unexpected theatrical effects, but if the screenwriter has not designed clues that can run through all characters and plots in advance, now he is just aimlessly at random based on vague ideas. The layout may eventually be unrecoverable because the clues are spread too open, making the plot fall apart. In this way, the unfocused narrative rhythm can easily consume all the patience of the audience for an American drama that is broadcast once a week. There are several Chinese elements in this episode. In fact, it seems that this kind of slow and long-winded narrative rhythm has the most Chinese characteristics, which makes people wonder if there are Chinese TV drama screenwriters in the screenwriter. . But they forget that American TV series don't like to broadcast three episodes in one night like in China, so the unfocused narrative rhythm will easily consume all the audience's patience for American TV series that broadcast one episode a week.
Perhaps the screenwriter has also realized that such progress is not enough. Therefore, this episode is refreshed with a sudden hand-to-hand encounter in the parking lot. There was no warning or explanation before the attack. It was basically like a girl's temper that came without reason and no explanation. Perhaps you also think that the dramatic effect of this treatment is actually not the best, because it does not stimulate the audience's tension to the greatest extent, so that the audience can subtly into the plot to be truly exciting. Hitchcock said that a group of people were playing cards and suddenly a bomb exploded among them. The audience was surprised and shocked; but if the audience knew that the bomb existed from the beginning and knew when it would explode, then even in ordinary card game scenes There will also be emotions that make the audience feel nervous and exciting. This is a means of creating suspense. Seeing the future is a selling point that can be used to great advantage in this play. Whether those dangerous things will happen in the future and how they will happen can create a strong suspense after careful handling.
But in the five episodes of the story that have been broadcast, the screenwriter has not been able to make good use of this. It feels as if the screenwriter himself doesn’t care much about showing the fans. Outside the mystery and ending, thinking that the results can make everyone scream and praise the case, they are inattentive to the process. Not to mention that this is a very difficult thing, there is really no need to expect too much; even if it can be done, but as a commercial drama, it is possible to maximize the commercial benefits by attracting the audience to watch it all the time. , And the focus of a series with suspense as a selling point is the process of spreading out and rendering the puzzle.
This process is like the performance of a stripper, and the series of provocative and circuitous movements of undressing are more attractive than an inchless carcass. The reasoning master Shoji Shimada expresses similar views, and sometimes creating a strange and blurred atmosphere is more important than being confused. A successful case here is "Lost".
The scene of the car crash and shootout in this episode may be optimistic that the screenwriter told us that it’s time for the main course to be served after an aperitif. This drama has a good framework and good ideas. Together, we pray that the Yankees will not be violent and put a flower in the cow dung.
