57th Golden Bell Awards shortlist was officially announced on September 7. " Hualan Chuxing ", produced by Ruby Lin , was shortlisted for 11 Golden Bell Awards, with both reputation and ratings. The author also followed this drama last year. I have to say that the script is well written. Although it is divided into three seasons, the content is not redundant and complicated. Instead, it has filled a lot of content in a case, including sisterhood, relationship between men and women, life choices and other eternal propositions. Focusing on these issues, the characters in the film are analyzed and sublimated the theme, which makes people have to admire them after watching it.
"The Lights First" is a Taiwanese drama produced by .com . The director is Lian Yiqi , and the starring is Ruby Lin, Yang Jinhua , Yang Youning, etc. The first season of 2021 was launched, with a Douban score of 8.1. The third season has ended so far. Each season has only 8 episodes, but the story theme of each season will be more in-depth. In my opinion, this drama cleverly uses the game thinking of script killing to narrate. At the beginning of the first season, a female corpse in the woods was found after the typhoon night, and the gears of the story began to rotate. Season 1 uses flashback narrative to unveil the story of everyone in the hotel, and finally reveals to us who is the victim. Season 2 conducts a more in-depth analysis around this case. Just when a clue emerges, another important witness was killed. Are the two cases the same murderer? Who are the murderers? Season 3 focuses on the real mastermind behind the show.
1. The identity of the victim
The story took place in Taiwan in the 1980s. In the "light" of a Japanese hotel, two mothers, Sang-Luo Yunong (Luo Xinru), Su Qingyi (Yang Jinhua), five ladies - Huazi/Yang Shuhua ( Liu Pinyan ), Aizi/Wang Ailian (Guo Xuefu), Aji/Ji Manru (Xie Qiongyuan), Lily/Huang Baihe (Xie Xinying), Yaya/Lin Yawen (Jiang Yirong) and a waiter jointly run the hotel.
is the same as the script killing mode. The beginning shows that a murder case occurred. The deceased is a woman, but the camera does not show us. Who is the victim? After that, the timeline was cross-expressed in the past and present. On the one hand, the stories of several women in "light" were shown. Each person was not an independent existence. They had unknown secrets to each other. Whoever discovered whose secrets would be suspected of being killed or committing a crime. The main purpose of the first season is to let us find that victim among several women.
2. The murderer is among us
The end of the first season revealed to us that the victim is Su Mama. The second season continues the steps of the case investigation in the first season, locking the murderer among this group of actors. Following the narrative of the video, you will find that everyone in "Light" and the men who have connections with them are suspected of committing crimes.
For example, Luo's mother, the most suspected, was suspected because she had a quarrel with Su's mother because of a man, Jiang Han, and even both had branches. The reason why Aji was suspected was that she tried hard to live in Japan with a Japanese businessman, but she was intercepted by Su's mother. Su's mother also gave the engagement ring to Aji to pay off her gambling debt. Isn't this a complete hatred?
In addition to this, there is Lily. The reason why she is suspected is that she and her boyfriend hide drugs in "light". Later, she was discovered by Su's mother. Lily's boyfriend has always wanted to get the drugs from Su's mother, so Su's mother has the handle of others and is likely to be silenced. So who is the murderer?
3. The mysterious man appeared, the game player was killed
Finally, at the end of the second season, Jiang Han got direct evidence, but was hit and killed by the mysterious man. So there is another puzzle in the third season: Who is the mysterious man? No matter how tortuous the story is, the murderer is the insider - among the few ladies there is a murderer.Season 3 is the climax of the first two seasons, because everything is revealed, and there is a more helpless story behind it. This is the charm of character creation and ups and downs of the storyline. However, it is different from traditional suspense films. Its narrative methods are more like the rhythm of script killing. Everyone is their own protagonist, everyone has their own very complete and touching life experience, and everyone also has deep bonds and connections, which are endlessly cut and messy. Finally, it shows the audience a life story of love and hate.
Overall, friends who love suspense and script killing must not miss this drama, it is worth watching. Whether from the perspective of the level of appreciation of the film or the game thinking of script killing, integrating script killing into the narrative method of script killing to a certain extent will increase the audience's attractiveness and a unique ingenious ingenuity. After watching "The First Lights", it is also very helpful to improve the creative ability of script killing , and can provide more inspiration for the conception and narrative of script killing.
