Recently, , Duan Yihong, and Dapeng starred in the suspense drama " Double Detective", which set off a craze for reasoning in the second half of the year, breaking the conventional multi-line The narrative and the rough and realistic film texture make the audience feel as if they are in a small town on the northeast border, and experience the thrill of brain-burning.

"Double Detective" revolves around two story lines played by Duan Yihong, the criminal policeman and Dapeng. Criminal police Li Huiyan came to the Twin Towers from Beijing to find the truth about the murder of his father because of the investigation of the kidnapping of female students. He was accidentally involved in a dispute that spanned 26 years and found a connection between the two cases.

The story starts from the daily life of the two protagonists in 2017, using trivial parents to explain the identity, personality, family background and relationship of the characters. The two peaceful lives were respectively caused by a murder and a kidnapping. Breaking, sudden and full of suspense, only used one episode to quickly introduce the main story. At the beginning, it was known that one of the murderers was the butcher. The audience followed the protagonist to the two towers in the frozen northeastern county to chase the murderer. As the plot deepened, the "Memories of the Northeast" that took place in 1991 gradually surfaced, and the audience discovered that this was a scene again. A story about revenge. The complicated clues, the intertwined time, and the intricate relationship between characters are extremely brainstorming. The whole play is cleverly conceived. It takes twelve days and nights to slowly reveal the truth of the case, without any delay.

The process of investigating the criminals and the criminals is a bit of a cocoon, and "Double Detective" is also very well-controlled on the details. This drama is the first time that Duan Yihong has acted as a producer and starred in a web drama. The acting school "Xia Fan" who is active on the big screen plays a web drama. The supporting roles are all powerful actors such as Zhang Guoqiang, Xing Jiadong, Liu Weirui, etc. The set texture has improved a lot. The depiction of daily life in the play is very close to reality, low and shabby houses, and small restaurants with simple environments. The detective played by Duan Yihong eats breakfast, eats and calls. The background sound is the weather broadcast in the radio news. The sound and the delicate language of the lens outline the fireworks in the city.

In addition to the narrative rhythm that is full of film quality, the photographic aesthetics of "Double Exploration" can not be ignored. The life-like shots are full of life, cold or warm, and there are always colors. The northeast border town in the play retains many local distinctive pictures, such as bilingual neon signs, cold noodle shops, dog meat restaurants, tonic soup, etc. Scenes. But the sense of suspense in the whole drama is made of gray. In the extremely cold weather, the gray sky, the white vast forest, sea and snow, the black buildings and land, you can feel the sense of killing at a glance.

Once you get to the story-telling scene, the picture becomes strange again. When the butcher was kidnapped and sharpened his knife, his calm face was under the pinkish purple backlight; the dog diaper that stabbed Monk Luo to death grinned under the dazzling yellow headlight; at the beginning of episode 8, the butcher was cleaning the slaughterhouse, warming up the lights The bright red blood stains underneath this scene with a weird and beautiful color...The contrasting picture is extremely impactful and appealing, and it also gives "Double Detective" an extra layer of blurring beyond the rough and realistic plot.

In recent years, suspense-themed film and television dramas have exploded, especially short dramas are becoming more and more refined. Many short dramas use different expression methods and have emerged with different styles of aesthetics. Last year, " Hidden Corner" exploded. In addition to the cute plot and the "god-level" adaptation, the high-level aesthetics created by the combination of pictures and music are amazing. The color of the whole series is strong and gloomy, and the film is realistic. The feeling is restored to the hot and humid southern town. Zhu Chaoyang’s central composition when he was tied up, the red field of vision flickering and bright, left a deep impression, the flies falling on the sugar water buzzing and struggling, the "up to the sky" perspective during the funeral, and A drowned corpse wearing a yellow swimsuit in the green sea water...The scenes of the whole series have a sense of voyeurism in the tranquility, and repeated viewing can still arouse the audience's thoughts.

The aesthetic style and high-level texture of "Double Quest" are inseparable from the northeast. The winter in the northeast is beautiful and dangerous. The wilderness, cold, and heavy snow are full of wildness, literary atmosphere and sense of story. In 2019, Zhang Zhen and Liao Fan starred in " snow storm" staged a suspenseful drama of violent aesthetics in the northeastern border. In the isolated ice and snow, the lone police confronted the fierce robbers. , Use real ability and real skill to make a break.The style of the whole film is cold and hard, the ice ball becomes blood ball, and the snow white blood is mixed together, leaving only a bright red under the heavy snow in the sky.

The suspense film " Day Fireworks" starring Liao Fan, which was also set in the Northeast, won the 2014 Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award. Liao Fan also won the best actor award for this film. . Different from the roughness of "Snowstorm", "Fireworks in Daylight" has a strong black literary atmosphere, with suspense lines and love lines intertwined, telling a bizarre corpse case that occurred in an emotional forbidden zone, a fallen police detective, a femme fatale, and an ice knife killer. The life trajectories of the three intersected like fate. The murderer silently swiped the ice skates and hid the body in the dilapidated industrial factory area, which was highly compatible with the gloomy northeast in the extreme cold weather. The overall style of the film is grim. Although there is no lack of stimulating plots such as corpses, chasing, shootouts, and confrontations, the most impressive thing is the protagonist's repression of the struggle between love and sin.

There are many suspenseful works with northeast figures. In "Undocumented Crimes", a serial homicide that tied the dead and the snowman together appeared in the snowy Hasong city; " White Night Chase Murder "In ", the two brothers walked in the deserted snowy mountains to investigate the case; the new film "Moses on the Plain" to be released at the end of the year was also selected in the northeast. The film was produced by the director of "Fireworks in Daylight" by Diao Yinan, Zhou Dongyu Starring Liu Haoran.

"Moses on the Plain" is adapted from Shuang Xuetao 's original novel of the same name. It revolves around a mystery hidden by a heavy snow and tells the old story of the murder of a taxi driver. Judging from the materials that have been released, the innocent promises of the teenagers and girls in the film seem to be brewing an uncontrollable storm. The trailer shows declining abandoned factories, bleak streets and foggy dark skies in the small northeast town.

Suspense films mostly have chaotic or gray settings. The silent northeast is like a silent page in history. It is easy to bring the audience into a certain gloomy or lost atmosphere. The struggling and coldness of the precipitation in its geographical range The atmosphere of fighting also makes the Northeast become an excellent story backdrop for suspense films.
