Sunny, colorful.
A woman with a good face came into sight. She walked and smiled, holding a red umbrella.
Picturesque scene is not a beautiful word.
But it’s a little weird to look closely.
Why did you take an umbrella when it didn’t rain?
And is it a coincidence or a dream that only women have wet water marks on their umbrellas and clothes?
Before I could think, the woman had passed through the crowd in front of the railway track, as if attracted by something.
The next second, the style of painting changed suddenly-
The train roared, the woman flew, and the day turned into night.
The cherry blossoms, which just gave people warmth, were immediately infected with the beauty of fragrance and death, and even the red signal lights that flashed frequently made people nervous across the screen.
Red light, red umbrella and blood moon in the air, strong colors breed a chill in the lens …
Lie in the trough!
It only takes 2 minutes and 55 seconds (just a title) to fill the scary atmosphere directly.Tianmu crisisAlmost didn’t send me away!
As an I-suspense person who is addicted to food, I stayed up late to brush eight episodes while opening the bullet screen protector:
Absolutely, the atmosphere of this play is really absolutely!
I thought it was plain, but I was scared+surprised.
Click to open a circle in Weibo, and many netizens, like me, staged the drama of "Calling for Fear"-
Some people are afraid to take a bath after reading it, some people are so scared that they almost throw away the tablet, and some people’s brains are about to explode.
"Suspense", "excitement" and "high energy" … There are quite a few standard answers used to evaluate works with suspense crimes.
But beyond that, the play gave me a more unique impression-
What everyone is talking about at the momentBeauty of atmosphereAnd it is still "beautiful and miserable" level.
Why do you say that? Let’s talk today.
attraction
What is the beauty of atmosphere?
When you put it on a person, even if you can’t see the facial features clearly, you will be attracted by some kind of gas field, and then wake up things on the perceptual level to produce emotions and imagination, and immerse yourself in a beautiful feeling.
And whether a play is attractive or not,framefirstCan’t fool people..
Watching "Tianmu Crisis", it’s hard for you not to cry because of the exquisite and advanced picture quality-
Japanese style is small and fresh, yes.
Cherry blossoms are blooming, and the train for spring runs through the lanes.
Punk futurism, yes.
The lights are staggered and wild and psychedelic, and the rapid drums make the air hot and dry.
Restrain the cold wind, yes.
The desolate snow constantly magnifies helplessness and desolation.
High-quality texture, exquisite composition, and a piece of it can be used as wallpaper.
The picture is not only responsible for beauty, but also renders the atmosphere.
Different from the dark tones of previous suspense dramas, Tianmu Crisis is quite strong in the use of colors-
The cold and warm light and shade between the scenes form a sharp contrast, which directly magnifies the thriller effect infinitely.
For example, a conscious killing simulation experiment is conducted in a laboratory with a bright window. The bleeding is actually an illusion, but the experimenter watched the countdown and gradually entered the state of bleeding to death, and finally he really reached complete death under the control of his mind.
White has become a "white terror", which makes people feel ill at ease.
An antique old house with an imitation of the old texture is dominated by black and blue. When I opened the door, there was an evil wind, and the figure in the dark background made me feel creepy.
On a rainy night, I used dazzling red instead. Is this a sign of death? Or a warning of sin?
Sensory stimulation doubles people’s anxiety and fear of the unknown.
In addition to the frame of the picture, the lens language in the play is full of.Film sense.
Such as silky and ingeniouscut to.
Take the woman who was hit by flying at the beginning, the red umbrella in her hand floated into the night sky, and finally flew into a rainy day as she flew farther and farther, and was taken over by the passing man.
The two time and space are organically connected in series.
There’s another scene I like very much-
The man was dragged to another world under the control of consciousness, endlessly circulating a square to devour a square floor, and every time he opened any door that didn’t know what world was behind him, he changed from a wall that hit a wall to a tracking channel.
When he opened the last passage, the concrete maze just now became a world of ice and snow.
This stream-of-consciousness shooting technique is used to visualize the obscure "world of consciousness", which is quite Inception’s sense of sight.
Multi-perspectiveThe free switching is also played to the extreme in the play.
A lot of flash shots:
?
One second you’re in a safe third perspective, and the next you’re being stared at:
The oncoming sense of oppression seems to remind me of the fear of being dominated by this expression pack.
There is also a close-up of the scene that describes the inner changes of the characters:
The lens passes through the black policemen standing in the narrow corridor of the hospital, and with the escalation of the role’s white tension, it advances from far to near.
The mysterious atmosphere, like the indescribable purple flowers outside the window, opens quietly.
The right blank space is full of infinite imagination and deepens the suspense atmosphere, so that the audience has already felt immersed before the story begins.
It is no wonder that some netizens commented that the texture is not as high as watching a domestic drama.
Just like Pandora’s Box mentioned at the beginning of the play, under the lens, the beauty of the film texture also has its own magic-
Weird with a sense of beauty, fascinating, and at the same time attract people into the game.
Be able to bear looking.
If the first step of beautiful atmosphere is to attract attention, then the next thing to consider is how to maintain this attraction for a long time.
LookIt’s crucial.
"Tianmu Crisis" belongs to the type that can’t be stopped more and more, and the amount of information is quite large.
Look at the settings first.
Double-line parallel, stimulating high energy: "consciousness control"+"music killing".
What do you say?
I’m sorry, everything has to start with the woman with the red umbrella-
A woman has a son,Li Tian(Ray), Ph.D. genius, Department of Physics.
Concentrate on the topic "Avant-garde Science-the Power of Consciousness" and firmly believe that consciousness can change the world.
But since his mother came to visit him in a foreign country and left, Li Tian began to encounter a series of bizarre events.
That night, he received a weird video, opened it, and it was a concert scene of a suspected band.
Seeing the second half, the horror came as mentioned at the beginning-
The scene record of mother being hit by a train suddenly appeared in the picture.
The crime occurred at a level crossing.
That’s not right. How did my mother come back to Beijing, where she was obviously, and she appeared in other cities and suffered an accident?
Who took the video and who sent it? Is it a prank or another conspiracy?
In order to find out the truth, Li Tian rushed to the crime scene, and was responsible for the accident handling.Officer Yamazaki(Michael Miu) After meeting, he found that everything was far more complicated than he thought-
First, I found clues. In the video, my mother’s gait changed completely, and her hands were still beating. The problem is …
She’s not wearing headphones at all!
So what are you listening to?
Through the projection of the roaring train body, there was a man wearing a mask opposite the incident.
Who is he? The videographer?
Then they found the reporter who reported it for the first time.Hattorisuke(Joseph Chang).
A man who has been collecting information on level crossing accidents since 2010.
Because his girlfriend died in a similar way at the level crossing, and a song was playing in her ear.
Over the years, there have been as many as 3,000 level crossing accidents, but strangely, 288 of them have two things in common-
First, the onlookers are all the same people.12.
Second, the same song sounded in the ears of the deceased before the accident.Messenger at the crossroads.
What kind of music is this?
Realistic version, the net suppresses clouds and music.
This song comes from the band called "Forerunner", whose music is like a virus, which can make people fall into hallucinations and commit suicide.
It’s a coincidence that the band has just 12 members.
Even more shocking is that,The female lead singer of the band was Li Tian’s mother.
Corresponding to various details, Hattori speculated that:
Twenty years ago, this band caused a fire at the performance site of Luming Pavilion, which killed more than 200 people.
Twenty years later, they want to come back again and create many level crossing accidents.
But the problem is coming again-
Li Tian’s mother is obviously a member of the band. Why did she become a victim?
What is the reason for the resurgence of the storm after 20 years?
Or is there someone else behind this?
Many cases are intertwined, interlocking, and the fast-paced plot development always hangs the audience’s heart in the throat.
You think that’s enough?
The farther backVisibilityThe stronger! Each episode keeps digging holes while filling them, with new characters, new clues and new relationships …
Don’t blame me for not reminding you that the clue that was clarified today may only be prepared for the overthrow tomorrow.
Anyway, we can’t guess the truth all the time. be like:
This is the second point of view, inversion.
People set the reversal, the reversal of good and evil, and the reversal of madness.
Give me an example that makes me feel the strongest reversal at present-
Joseph Chang plays Hattori.
At first, I only thought that he was an informant found by the police and a reporter with a disabled leg. I paid attention to the level crossing case for many years in order to find out the truth for my girlfriend.
But gradually you find that there are many doubts about him, such as:
Information is always more comprehensive than the police;
The crime scene of every level crossing incident is not only where the pioneer band is, but also where he is;
Looking at Li Tian privately is always as cold as an eagle staring at its prey.
What’s even more strange is that he quietly hid the sound recorder in the car of Officer Yamazaki.
Until the eighth episode, his secret was uncovered and shocked me to silence-
Leg lameness is fake! The name is fake! The identity is fake!
Boy, who are you, with two faces? !
Dean doesn’t have many spoilers.
I can only say that his eyes were full of stories when he met his childhood self.
Once the reversal occurs, it means:
This person is suspicious, be careful to be cheated. The evidence he gave to the police before may all be confusing clues …
Did you find out?
For the audience, not only the plot is fast-paced and there are many clues, but also the whole staff is not simple. It seems to lead you to think, but in fact, you have never guessed the villain in layers.
It seems that from the beginning, your consciousness has been "controlled" by them, and you can’t stop if you want to stop.
Amazing
detail, the soul of creating an atmosphere.
From the beginning, the director started his elaborate design for everyone.
In particular, the emergence of a large number of symbolic elements in the play, while burying the foreshadowing, creates a thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere.
For example,Red umbrella.
In the first episode, Li Tian’s mother opened an umbrella on a sunny day, and there were water stains on her clothes and umbrella cover. With the flashback of the story, it was a rainy night on the night of her accident, and she was holding a red umbrella.
Obviously, the beautiful scene of sunny days is a fantasy she saw before she was hit on a rainy night.
For example, those people wearing rabbit masks are always caught off guard and make people break into a cold sweat.
butrabbitChild maskIt is the embodiment of the band "Pioneer" that has become the clue of serial death cases, which has stripped the past of 12 members a little bit.
And see the three sets that have appeared so far.videotapeThe final content of each dish is different-
In the first set, Li Tian’s father appeared when he was young; The second set is a fuzzy man in a gray coat; The third set is Hiroshi Kuroki, the leader of the "Pioneer" band. What is the connection between them? Who the hell sent the video? What is the purpose of the person who sent the video tape?
There is another impressive detail,crow.
Li Tianhe Yamazaki, Hattori Suke and Zhang Ni analyzed the clues, and a white-pupil crow broke through the window.
Feel the next second of thriller close-up:
It stood upside down on the ceiling and rolled its eyes.
?
Crow has an ominous implication. Does it imply that The Infiltrator is hidden among the four people?
However, it is the crow that Li Tian’s self-awareness examination feeds back.
Is the man the ultimate undercover?
Every episode and every scene is full of details, which not only echoes before and after, but also makes people think deeply.
I can’t wait to hold an eight-fold mirror and pause frame by frame at 0.5 times speed for fear of missing a detail.
After all, have you ever seen that even the direction of smoke is the key point to write down with a small notebook?
Even the title is different from episode to episode, which hides the mystery.
I am also surprised by the interactive detail design like this.
Second set
The fourth episode
The whole process comes with the excitement of the treasure-digging game, which feels that the protagonist is talking to us from a distance and gives us a process of thinking.
The immersive experience even extends from the play to the outside, and the screenwriter is really good at it!
With beautiful lens, strong script and meticulous details, it is not easy to create the production team of Tianmu Crisis with the ultimate aesthetic atmosphere.
Director and screenwriter, Huang Jingfu.
Won the Golden Award for Best New Director with the film Jianghu. The violent aesthetics displayed in gorgeous slow motion in the film is very personal.
There is also "The Love Letter of Beijing Meeting Seattle" and "Fuck off! Tumor jun’s production designer Li Qingyu, the photographer Li Zhihua of the film Hunting, and Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau’s royal stylist Bruce Yu.
All-in-one movie behind the scenes.
It’s not surprising why "Tianmu Crisis" can create a high-level atmosphere from composition to color matching, from music card to service road design.
Remember at the beginning that the story opened a Pandora’s box.
As a 12-volume online drama, the dean chased eight episodes, and the truth is still confusing, but I am bound to chase it to the end.
From another new clue—
It seems that a man with long hair has been imprisoned in Hattori’s house, and the fire scene is constantly replayed in the TV series in front of him.
Who is he? Why are you locked up here? Will it be another villain alternative?
I predict that it will be a new brain-burning storm.
Finally, friendly reminder:
Remember to eat walnuts before you look. Don’t ask me how I know.
