mentioned the word "Hong Kong drama", many viewers would immediately give the keywords "police and gangster", "gunfight", and "dog blood". A keyword has changed.
So even in recent years, Hong Kong film stars and directors have been trying hard to bridge the gap with the inland, trying to make some TV dramas in line with the aesthetics of inland audiences, but they are always complained about "Hong Kong dramas are dead", it seems that those dog blood are missing The Hong Kong dramas where the police and the criminals are undercover and eat each other black and white are no different from ordinary TV dramas.
So there are also many film and television production companies doing the opposite, how can the blood come, trying to replicate the success of the old Hong Kong drama more than a decade ago.
For example, this "Woodthorn Witness", which was broadcast on the evening of October 19, is the original Hong Kong-style police comedy. Just started broadcasting Douban and scored a high of 8.4.
This TV series with only 20 episodes received a lot of praise when it first aired. After watching it, many viewers couldn't wait to say that they hadn't watched such an authentic Hong Kong drama for a long time.
Today, let’s talk about whether this "Woodthorn Witness" is as exciting as the audience comments.
In recent years, a lot of TV dramas have been marketed under the guise of "new Hong Kong drama", but most of them are selling dog meat or using some "hot spots" and funny lines for marketing, but these Hong Kong dramas are often out of the circle. They are all short clips and emoticons, and rarely receive unanimous praise in terms of plot.
Even TVB dramas produced by the leading tycoons of Hong Kong dramas are no exception. This also makes the audience miss the exaggerated and bloody Hong Kong dramas of the local citizens. "Woodthorn Witness" has just started airing. The down-to-earth smell of dog blood immediately attracted the audience, making everyone laugh while watching it with gusto.
The story of "Woodthorn Witness" is actually very old-fashioned. The protagonist is the plainclothes police officer Gao Liji (played by Luo Zhongqian) who is involved in a shooting case and the difficult witness Li Haofan ( Wei Jiaxiong ), one is silly. Another meticulous clothing chairman, and the other is the little police chief who is superficially motivated but depressed. The two men are forced to get along day and night before solving the case, and their daily lives are full of laughter.
At the same time, Li Haofan’s clothing company was inexplicably involved in criminal transactions. The two protagonists teamed up with the lawyer’s sister Li Songying (Zhang Xiwen) to investigate and found that it was involved in an unsettled case more than 20 years ago. The audience loves to hear the blood of the dog. The big drama was also staged.
It can be said that at the beginning of the play "Woodthorn Witness", I never thought about filming a high-profile battle, or a very heart-warming police and robber gunfight scene. Every character in it is a down-to-earth character in the market, such as Although Gao Liji was a small police chief, he was squeezed out by his opponents. He brought a group of subordinates who could only catch thieves every day and occasionally bet on horses in private. The audience naturally accepted the setting that they would be fired by the police at any time. .
When they won the lottery ticket, they were not faced with turning over, but being stolen by thieves. Such a big ups and downs made the audience laugh and cry. After the male number two on the line, Li Haofan picked up the wallet, the first reaction was not to hand it over The police, instead, decided to complete the work step by step, and then personally confirm the identity of the owner.
one is anxious to get it back, but the other is unwilling to pay back. The two sides confront each other and get involved in the anti-pornography scene. The narrative is fast and accurate, like a roller coaster with one twist and another. This typical comedy style is definitely the taste of old-fashioned Hong Kong dramas.
Of course, the two male protagonists of this kind of Hong Kong drama love each other and kill each other and solve the case together, so they will definitely be matched with an unflattering heroine.
"Woodthorn Witness" is also unavoidable to make the policeman Gao Liji and Li Haofan's sister Li Songying a happy enemy. It has to be said that this is also a drawback in Hong Kong dramas, that is, it is mindless and annoying to like to portray female characters.
For example, after Li Haofan picked up Gao Liji's wallet, Gao Liji asked the thief about the thief, but Li Songying indiscriminately believed that Gao Liji was harassing his brother, causing headaches for the audience. After
, Li Haofan was involved in the murder and was almost killed. In order to save him, Gao Liji had no choice but to let the prisoner escape and was injured. In order to continue investigating the case, he privately found Li Haofan and asked the other party to cooperate in the investigation. However, after being discovered by Li Songying, he even complained. Going to the police station, the injured Gao Liji was suspended for inspection. The heroines like
really bring the essence of "annoying" and "retracting" to ten percent. The audience is so angry and funny that they can't help but complain about the screenwriter, but the other way around, if everyone in the play If IQ online doesn't hold back, there may not be so many laughs to watch.
, after all, lacks the "spilled dog blood" Hong Kong drama, then it is not authentic!
I wonder if you watched this old-fashioned comedy-style Hong Kong drama "Woodthorn Witness"?
