Suspense deduction and emotion went hand in hand, converging at the end and striking the heart of the audience.
In the arrangement of the characters, this script gave the different characters ample room to display. Hu Tao, Hu Min, the young man, the police officer Ma Guang, the defense lawyer… Every character was so vivid and three-dimensional.
After Group B’s performance ended, the emcee followed the procedure and invited the main leads to briefly express their feelings.
The main leads of Group B had no intention of stealing the limelight during this segment. Everyone did not have a strong desire to perform. Basically, they praised the actors who acted with them for being very helpful to them.
In the end, a guest actor smiled and said, “l think the main leads of Group B are looking forward to watching Group A’s performance.”
The emcee smiled helplessly. Drawing out Group A’s performance was originally his job as an emcee. Now, the guide was spoken by the guest actor on his behalf.
The emcee smiled at the camera. ‘1 1 believe that the audience here and in the live-stream must be the same as the main leads in Group B, looking forward to Group A’s performance. Then, let’s welcome the actors in Group A to give us a wonderful performance!
There was a round of applause, and the heavy curtains were drawn again.
The lights lit up, and a familiar scene appeared on the stage.
In addition to altering the second half of the script, Group A also changed the order of the performance and raised the confrontation in court to the first scene. The original first scene should have been when the police received a call on National Day. It was a normal timeline.
The most obvious advantage of bringing the courtroom confrontation to the forefront was that it increased the tension of the plot and the atmosphere of the movie.
The shortcoming was also very obvious. The suspense was reduced. In the original plot, Hu Min’s identity as a suspect was gradually determined by the police. However, after the adaptation of Group A, Hu Min was the defendant in court. She explained an important plot in the first scene.
Seeing Group A’s performance, some of the audience’s doubts were answered.
In the beginning, when the emcee announced that Group B would perform first, there were still audience members who asked on the bullet screen, “Why is Group B performing first? Could there be an inside story?”
From the looks of it, Group B was only allowed to perform first because Group A had changed the way they described the plot.
In order to ensure that the suspenseful atmosphere of Group B’s performance would not be destroyed, the production team arranged for Group B to perform first.
Many netizens liked the production team’s settings on the bullet screen. “The production team actually noticed such details. They’re really attentive.”
However, this order of appearance was friendly to Group B, but it put a lot of pressure on Group A.
Because Group Bs story had been finished, the audience had already seen the plot once and knew all the suspicious points of the entire story. They also knew the final truth. Then, when they watched Group A’s performance, all the audience had a god-like perspective that could see through everything. During the process of watching, there would not be any doubts, worries, or curiosity.
In the live-stream, the audience also knew that Group A was in a bad situation, so a kind netizen called out, “How about this? Everyone, temporarily forget about Group B’s performance and pretend that you haven’t seen this short drama. Let’s try our best to enjoy Group A’s performance from a curious perspective.”
This comment received the approval of many netizens. Everyone also knew that the team that appeared later would definitely be at a huge disadvantage if they performed two sets of comparative performances in the same script. Moreover, it was a suspense script.
Therefore, at this moment, the audience felt sympathy for the actors in Group A and relaxed their requirements.
The actors of Group A did not seem to have any distracting thoughts. Everyone was extremely focused. The first scene of Hu Min’s criminal trial in court was very tense and oppressive.
Lu Zhen’s acting style was also different from the actors in Group B. When the actors in Group B interpreted Hu Min’s character, they emphasized Hu Min’s timidity, panic, and uneasiness. Moreover, because Hu Min knew from the beginning that her father was prepared to sacrifice himself in exchange for her freedom, the actor in Group B would look at Hu Tao from time to time during the performance.
Lu Zhen, on the other hand, dealt with it differently. Although she was afraid and flustered when she was judged in court, she looked even colder overall.
She did not look at the others much, as if she was immersed in her own world.
She did not even look at her father, as if she was fighting something invisible.
Lu Zhen’s performance of Hu Min made the audience feel even more strongly that Hu Min’s relationship with her father was indeed very bad..
