suspense, horror, and fantasy. The high-quality film and television works that combine these three elements are basically from abroad.
Japan has " Wonderful Story of the World " ;
UK has "9 Secret " ;
U.S. has 'X Archives', 'Lost', 'Evil Forces'...
But looking at our country, we can basically not give examples that can match it.
It’s really not that I’m watching the moon in foreign countries, but that such movies and TV series exported by the domestic market are generally bad works.
is either an exaggerated acting and an awkward plot.
is either showing off soft porn, and if you don’t take good photos, it’s a censorship.
In the past two years, only works such as " River God ", " Asylum " and "Tianfang Yidao" can be quite good.
This year, Uncle has another domestic drama that is eye-catching. Each episode only takes up 8 minutes, and it can tell individual stories in a complete and exciting way.
"Not Thinking about Different: Radio"
The male voice from the tape is a fixed opening remark, and the atmosphere of reading the names of each episode is slightly like "Zhang Zhen Tells Story".
This drama consists of 12 ideas and short and concise stories.
Some have reinterpreted the classic concepts of works such as "Horror Cruise", some are cleverly conceived realistic fables, and some have sharp turns to highlight the complexity of human nature, as well as the polyphonic reproduction of historical allusions.
For example, the 4th episode "The Lost Corpse" pays a little tribute to the second episode of "The Secret of No. 9" Season 1, "Quiet Night".
Episode 8 "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has a very strange meaning.
Dad is absent, and the mother raises her son alone to grow up. Behind the single mother's hard work to take care of her son, there is a terrifying secret.
In episode 12, the tape was ridiculously cassetted before even the name of the story was finished.
director himself took the stage and simply connected the previous 11 episodes roughly, and even linked it to "Premarital Examination" in 2017's "Not Thinking of the Dictionary".
However, the best part of the whole drama is episode 3 "Medusa Virus" .
An IT man received a technical request from a friend. If there is a picture that opens at a glance, there will be problems.
You can see a woman with bright eyes drawn on the red background, but the screen will be black in less than a second.
tried several times in a row, but the same phenomenon still occurs when the IT man passes the picture from his mobile phone to his computer.
While he was trying to figure out this bug, he was startled by his colleague who asked him to get off work, and was frightened by the cleaning lady behind him.
is really mysterious. There is nothing scary at first and it must be shocked.
People who see this for the first time will have this idea, and will be slapped in the face at the end of .
IT man noticed an abnormality. He compared the time and found that every time the picture was opened, 5 minutes passed. The computer will automatically shut down after 5 minutes on the
setting.
At this time, the IT man had realized what was going on. The surveillance video he called out further supported his thoughts.
He quickly called his friend, but no one answered.
So he decided to remind his friends to be careful.
The moment he walked out of the office building, he was shocked. There was a group of people in front of me looking at the same place motionlessly.
IT men carefully aimed in the direction of their eyes, and the picture was cast on the big screen.
This is the Medusa virus.
The special effect here is to fake it. Anyone who sees it will be fixed until the screen is closed.
is not because the picture causes the black screen, but because the person who is watching has lost his consciousness for a period of time and has created this illusion subjectively.
As early as this episode, 's foreshadowing on time changes was laid. The time before opening the picture by
is 14:07, and the time after opening the picture is 14:13, with a difference of 5 to 6 minutes.
Similarly, there is also a comparison of the time on the computer. In the surveillance video of
, the IT man was stunned in his seat after seeing him clicking on the picture. His colleague had called him for a while before he was scared.
The cleaning lady behind him did not deliberately scare him, but because she accidentally saw the picture while cleaning and was also fixed. Later, she recovered with the IT man.
And the duration of this episode is also about 5 minutes.
It can be seen that scary is not the purpose, but narration is the one that is.
This episode points out that people are now staring at their mobile phones and computers all day long, and more and more people are looking down.
Myth, snake-haired banshee Medusa's eyes will petrify the person who sees.
In modern times, electronic screens make people who are addicted to it become numb and silence. As time passes silently, they gradually lose their perception of the external environment.
Episode 9 "Weight Loss Oral Liquid" finally led to social issues and explained from a psychological level why girls always feel fat.
The ending of this story is also quite ironic.
The heroine cares too much about other people's opinions and is dedicated to losing weight.
She did have any effect after drinking the magic weight loss oral liquid. Although her body has not changed, others' attitude towards her has obviously improved.
met a little girl holding a book "The Emperor's New Clothes". This fairy tale reminded the heroine of herself.
In fact, the heroine is very thin, and she is the only one who can't see the truth and thinks she is a fat girl.
After being stimulated, she drank all the weight loss pills in one go, but ended up being skinny and dead from weakness.
After seeing the corpse, the little girl said, " is not thin enough. "
The last child in "The Emperor's New Clothes" exposes the lie, but the girl's approach is exactly the opposite.
She showed a strange smile. At a young age, she seemed to be immersed in the common concepts of society, and blindly catered to the standard of "thinness is respectful".
Just by seeing my uncle's introduction to the above two episodes, you may not know that "Not Thinking of the Abnormal" is a veritable poor crew . How poor is
?
Except for the white shirt in the last episode, some costume costumes were rented, and the rest of the clothes were brought by the actors.
taken from the allusion of "Long Keren" "Seeking the Hermit" was completed by shooting the remaining scenes of other crews.
In order to put this project into practice, the main creator used the company's final deposit and also borrowed an interest-free loan. There are 16 scenes in the
12 episode, and it only took 13 days, which was about to shoot one episode in in one day. Shortening the shooting cycle is equivalent to reducing costs.
They organized a crowdfunding, but it ended in failure.
was originally planned to be launched in autumn 2018, but the fund owner was found in 2019.
There are not enough actors, so the stylist comes to make up, and director Ou Dingding is even more decathlon.
The makeup artist in episode 4 is the crew's stylist Kardai San
Being poor and poor. This drama definitely has a texture that exceeds the budget, at least it does not directly give people the feeling of being very cheap and 50 yuan.
(In case the picture below will scare some friends, let’s have a warning here)

This "Medusa virus" is designed quite decently. The moving mirror and later part of the
are also clever and streamlined, such as the pseudo-long lens below.
"BuWang Si Yi" produced in 2017, and there were many horror components, and suddenly there were many methods of frightening.
In comparison, "Bu Si Yi: Radio", which focuses on suspense and fantasy, has made some progress in its level, and the story is also more , thinking about it carefully .
Like Episode 5 "Psycho Under the Bed" has been widely discussed by everyone. A plot of snatching the quilt was deduced to . The explanation of split personality and real ghosts .
The initial Douban score of this drama reached
Of course, the Douban score has dropped to
Some details and characters' words and actions are still not accurate enough.
To be honest, at the end of each episode, my uncle still had to sit in the same place, his brain was running rapidly, sometimes he was aftertaste, sometimes he didn't understand everything, and he still needed to sort out clues and thoughts.
omit repeated shots, and appropriately strengthening the highlight of key clues may be more conducive to conveying the intention.
"Don't Think of the Wise" team is very self-aware. Faced with shortcomings, they did not play the card of bitterness, and did not blame them for review.
When the director was asked if there would be another season, he said that would keep shooting .
How to let go of it regardless of cost, breaking through many obstacles to completing creation. I am glad that there is still such a group of people in the film and television industry that are still stumbling forward and exploring.
"No Thoughts on the Different" series is available on Bilibili. It is recommended that friends who want to watch it can open the barrage, which has both high-energy warnings and is convenient for discussion and understanding of the plot.
(Of course, if you are bold, meticulous and extremely intelligent, then just pretend that my uncle has never said it.)
