China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 218 Suspense! Suspense!

The third and fourth episodes of "Signal" continue the fast pace and intensive plot points of the first two episodes, with two climaxes appearing within two episodes.

One is because of the "butterfly effect", Li Shi'an mistakenly arrested an innocent "suspect", and suffered an epileptic seizure during the interrogation and died. Li Shi'an was also imprisoned because of this, and while he was in confinement, the intercom called Qin Hai on the other end told him that due to the "butterfly effect", the subsequent victims of this serial murder case had changed, and the fifth victim was named Shen Yue, who was the girl Li Shian had a crush on.

Although Li Shi'an found a way to escape from the confinement room, it was still a step too late. In this plot, Deng Chao showed an actor-level performance, and paired with the sad soundtrack, it created a strong appeal that made most people in front of the TV The audience could not help but burst into tears, and even those with a high crying point would be touched by it.

Another climax point is also the suspense at the end of the fourth episode. The "butterfly effect" brings not all bad changes, because the fourth victim "survived", He Xiuying and Qin Hai took advantage of the only one who was killed by Li Using the survivors rescued by Shian as a breakthrough point, they broke through the layers of fog and obstacles and locked in on a person with high suspicion - Feng Xu, the son of a retired mountain city bus driver. His lower limbs were paralyzed due to an accidental fall from a building twenty years ago. , and the serial murder case was inexplicably stopped after he was paralyzed.

But after twenty years, there is no decent evidence to support the suspicions of He Xiuying and Qin Hai. Feng Xu cannot be included in the suspect list just by coincidence of time. What's more, because this person is severely disabled and is a priority target of the community, People around him also have the impression that he is honest and kind, and has an optimistic and positive personality. He does not seem to have any psychological problems or anti-social tendencies.

He Xiuying, the leader of the backlog team played by Sun Li, was not ready to give up and was ready to approach Feng Xu to see if she could find out anything from his words, so she came to this "suspect" with lower limb paralysis alone in the name of a community worker. At home, she used her 20-year experience as a detective to quietly catch the flaws in his words during the chat.

The "suspect" who has been in a wheelchair for 20 years was also keenly aware of He Xiuying's identity as a police officer. Therefore, when his father unlocked and pushed the door, Feng Xu burst out of the wheelchair at the moment when He Xiuying's attention was distracted. He got up, threw He Xiuying to the ground, strangled her neck, and shouted to her father who came in with a sinister expression: "She is a police officer!"

The father, who was over sixty years old and well aware that his son had committed heinous crimes, stood at the door with the sun on his back, looking at He Xiuying who was strangled by his son on the ground and struggling hard, without saying a word.

This ends episode four.

At the same time, twenty years ago, Li Shian was stimulated by the brutal murder of the girl he liked. He worked hard to investigate. Although there was no reliable evidence, he still locked in a "suspect" he thought - the bus driver on the route along the river. driver.

Li Shi'an, who had half lost his mind, broke into the bus driver's house, grabbed the driver's collar, and angrily asked him if he was the murderer. At this moment, the driver's son returned home briskly and opened the door. For a moment, his eyes met with Li Shi'an's.

However, Su Hongmei, who had watched the entire TV series, insisted on buying "The Signal" from beginning to end, and even tried hard to persuade the director of the satellite TV channel to resume the suspended weekly theater to maximize the commercial value of "The Signal".

Zhou Hai, the deputy director of Mango TV channel, was watching the fourth episode of "The Signal" that had been played backstage at the TV station. In addition to sighing about the plot, his face was also filled with joy, and he was looking at the TV show deals that were with him.

Su Hongmei, director of the center, said: "This ending is quite good. I have a hunch that the ratings will reach 2 by next week."

Su Hongmei, who advocated the purchase of "Signal", could not hide the smile on her face: "Actually, the fundamental reason is that this drama has a fast pace and a large amount of information. Most domestic TV dramas are now too slow.

It can’t be stopped. Without the dense amount of information and fast-paced foreshadowing, it would be difficult to create suspense that captures the audience’s emotions.”

Mango TV has no objections to the purchase of "The Signal". Which TV station wouldn't want to buy Sun Li's drama? However, DreamWorks' "The Lion" did make Mango TV back down. If we only look at the total price, it is close to 100 million.

The bidding price is not sky-high in today's market that changes three times a year, let alone for Sun Li's drama, but the number of episodes of "Signal" is its biggest shortcoming.

The actions of He Xiuying and Li Shian were shown to the audience at the same time and alternately. Therefore, in the end, He Xiuying was strangled by the neck and looked at the father of the "real murderer" who entered the door, and Li Shian let go of "

The collar of the "real murderer"'s father - Li Shi'an thought his father was a suspect - looked at the "real murderer" who entered the door, and it became the final scene of the fourth episode.

In the play, He Xiuying pretends to be a community worker alone and goes to the home of Feng Xu, the son of a bus driver, who she identifies as a "suspect". When his elderly father enters the door, he is knocked down by Feng Xu in a wheelchair and strangled.

, and Li Shian broke into the home of the bus driver he identified as a "suspect" alone and angrily questioned him, but his eyes met with his son after he entered the door. These two plots are interactive narratives through parallel montage techniques.

It is equivalent to leaving two suspense stories at the end of the fourth episode that are 20 years apart but echo each other. One is He Xiuying's safety, and the other is whether Li Shi'an can realize that the son of the driver who just walked in is the real murderer and whether he can

Catch the real culprit.

End of episode four.

The content of 25 episodes is really unbroadcast. After all, the main income of the TV station is advertising fees. Even Sun Li and Deng Chao, the king of TV series, cannot make up for this shortcoming. As for the price offered by DreamWorks, the TV station is internally concerned about this.

There have been objections and wait-and-see opinions.

The young man had the sun on his back, his eyes were dazed, and there was a flash of panic. Li Shian's gaze gradually froze as he stared at the driver's son, and he slowly put down the bus driver who had been grabbed by his collar.

Although the ratings of "Signal" premiered last Saturday, it broke 1, but it was not very convincing. It was a prime time Saturday, and with the blessing of the ratings queen, breaking 1 for the premiere was not an amazing result. Mango TV is not a second- or third-tier TV company.

TV station, in fact, the ratings of 1.025 for the first and second episodes of "The Signal" were much lower than the ratings of the previous day's prime time "Wives' Lies".

As the director of the drama purchasing department, Su Hongmei was under a lot of pressure because of this. There were also personnel struggles within the TV station. However, her subsequent overwhelming reputation on the Internet helped her relieve the pressure. However, no matter how good the reputation is, it cannot be used as food. Movies at the box office

, of course TV dramas depend on ratings.

These pressures have been released today. Although the official ratings have not yet been released, the real-time ratings shown by the meter have exceeded 1.5%, and the estimated viewership share will exceed 5%. With the fourth episode

With the two big holes left at the end, it is conceivable that the ratings will definitely increase next week.

According to the data collection of major online platforms, Su Hongmei seems to have seen a phenomenon-level hit drama rising from the horizon with ratings, online clicks and word-of-mouth hits.
