Hot comments on the Internet:
French drama really never disappointed me, I like the choreography, gorgeousness, and songs of French drama, and I think French drama is a visual and auditory feast for me. The France version of "The Little Match Girl" is completely different from the "she" in the fairy tale I watched when I was a child, and many adaptations have been made, and these adaptations have created a very new and interesting new story. ——Weibo netizen @fruity bubble coffee
I didn't expect France children's dramas to be so good! borrowed the shell of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, the content has been completely adapted, the protagonist is not only a little girl with a miserable life in the real world, but also a little fighter who is not afraid of difficulties and dangers to save the magical world, and the final ending is particularly wonderful, which not only respects the original ending of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale in the real world, but also arranges a happy ending in another magical world, feeling the screenwriter's tolerance and respect for the two audiences of adults and children. ——Weibo netizen @如昼未woke up
watched the fantasy version of "The Little Match Girl", and at that time it was because of this story, I was curious about how the musical would be adapted and how to interpret it. After reading it, I think it's amazing! The little girl retains the setting of the original fairy tale, and her background is pitiful, but not only that, she is also a little hero who saves the magical world. The adaptation is really wonderful, the real world retains the original ending, and the little girl still died on that cold night; But in the magical world, it's a happy ending. - Weibo netizen @Escape from Earth Rhapsody

Hot comments on the Internet:
"Murder Notice" Agatha Christie's masterpiece has been carefully sinicized into the Chinese version. It is said that in 2017, there were 70 consecutive performances, and in 2018 I was finally lucky enough to see it. The overall atmosphere was really tense, and the lighting and soundtrack worked so well together that the two girls next to me screamed so much that they even wanted to turn on the lights on their phones to embolden themselves ...... Weibo netizen @killer Fei
The Chinese version of the drama "Murder Notice" is a flawed but overall work above the standard, and it also plays a very important role in popularizing the "Queen of Reasoning" novel and drama to Chinese audiences. ——Weibo netizen @Z director's hut
阿加莎推理名剧《谋杀启事》（A Murder is Announced）中文版，继捕鼠器后的另一部心头好！——微博网友@我觉得椰子水超好喝
Murder notices are much more exciting than mousetraps!! Obviously, I have the preparation of a mousetrap, but I have been scared halfway, just like a theater made up by the brain of an immersive novel. The interpretation of every role is so wonderful, I like Miss Marple the most, what a cute little old lady! I wish to have a few more grandma dramas! ——Weibo netizen @Earn Golden Beans and raise a lot
"Murder Notice" performance group: Shanghai Modern Drama Society, as a drama adapted from Grandma's work, it is actually remarkable, the whole drama is fast-paced, the suspense is set very well, and there are many details foreshadowing, people who have not read the original book say that you can't guess who the murderer is until the end, and the lines of several actors are also very solid, especially the actor who plays Miss Marple is so cute, who doesn't like the cute old lady~-Weibo netizen @Light High Brother
