heart was plucked, special symbols were left, criminal psychology, high IQ criminal investigation methods, "Crime Psychology Team X" immediately caught the audience's attention.
"Criminal Psychology Team X" is adapted from the author's popular horror suspense novel "Scheme Pursuing the Murder" by the author. It tells the crime psychology team with micro expression expert Xu Lang as the core, using criminal psychology and high IQ criminal investigation methods through micro expressions Analyze the stories of uncovered cases and searching for the truth.
In 2016, when "Forensic Qin Ming" just ended, "Crime Psychology Team X" had already started to contact this work. After two full years of creation, shooting, and post-production, it was finally able to meet the audience. In the past two years, there have been many suspense-related works in the online drama market, each with its own characteristics, and the observation of micro-expressions is still a fresh theme for the audience.
There are many possibilities behind the small incision
In the past, Sohu Video focused on the forensic industry for the first time in web dramas, and popularized the relatively niche IP of "Forensic Qin Ming". Then there is "unpopularity", "Crime Psychology Group X" once again focuses its attention on areas that are not so familiar to the audience, such as criminal psychology and micro expressions, and it has the "ambition" to impact the audience's sight.
"I came into contact with this work at the end of 2016. At that time, our "Forensic Medicine Qin Ming" had just ended and achieved good results. We wanted to make new explorations in this genre, and we had this series." Sohu Video self-produced Liu Mingli, the director of the Center and the chief producer of "Crime Psychology Group X", told Gu Duo that up to now, the content of investigating cases and solving cases through observation of micro-expressions in the online drama market is blank. The attempt of "Crime Psychology Group X" I also want to find my own vertical audience through sub-categories.
has begun to focus on short dramas and mini-series on major video sites, distinguishing it from TV dramas in terms of length. On the other hand, the big IP boom has begun to recede. Sky-priced IP is no longer the direction pursued by platforms and film and television companies. "Small and beautiful" typified works are gradually being sought after. In this market environment, Sohu Video’s web dramas are not There is no investment cost of hundreds of millions of big-name traffic stars to join, but the content has always had its own characteristics and quality assurance. When
was creating "Crime Psychology Team X", how to do small-type renovations is also a question Liu Mingli has been considering. "The so-called unique idea is to try to break the routine of the previous drama when making each new work. "For example, in "He Is Coming, Please Close Your Eyes", the concept of'hanging love' was first proposed; the "Forensic Medicine Qin Ming" series purely started from the forensic profession, showing the life and work of the forensic work group, etc. Such renovations have been Bringing market shocks time and time again.
"This "Crime Psychology Team X" brings together many features of previous crime-solving dramas. There is a specific group behind the four main characters in the drama. The plot is very strong and it will be very pleasant in the senses." Liu Mingli said The content of this drama is obviously very emboldened, and it has been proved to be the same. "Crime Psychology Group X" has rushed into the top ten of Guduo's hot list in the whole network two days after its launch. There are a lot of barrage content, and most of them are positive. Evaluation description. When
was filming the show, most of the actors were still newcomers. The two directors were also in the mainland for the first time to film. "Crime Psychology Team X" is also an attempt for everyone involved in the creation.
How to play the high IQ detective?
At the beginning of "Crime Psychology Team X", Xu Lang faces the criminal alone, as if incarnate as a polygraph. The criminal confesses every move and every move, which perfectly demonstrates "I don't know with my mouth, but my body is honest" . In a few words, Xu Lang found the place where the criminals hid their victims.
In the past, most of the content related to suspense detectives repelled this kind of "high IQ" aura, and the subject matter of investigations was simple. "Crime Psychology Team X" changed this kind of "high IQ" to a different form of expression, micro-expression observation Not only found a point in criminal psychology, but also a kind of "superpower" for ordinary people.
In Xu Lang’s eyes, every expression of the suspect is magnified infinitely. The head of the psychological team, Tang Sen, is a profiler, and the younger Xie Lei is a computer expert. All three of them have He has different skills from ordinary people. In terms of solving crimes, all three of them are experts. Except for these three, the only female character in the play did not become one"The role of group pets.
Ding Jiaqi defeated the men who practiced on the stage as soon as he appeared on the stage, and staged an unarmed shooting of the gun, and became the only "army responsibility" in the psychological group. The combination of three men and one woman is also three high IQs. The comparison between a person and an ordinary person, as the story progresses, the dramatic effect is gradually highlighted. Zhang Chao, who played Xu Lang, was actually a little skeptical of the profession of micro-expression expert before joining the group. "I do I made some expressions for the teacher to guess, but he didn't expect him to guess it all. "Until now, I still have curiosity and a sense of awe for micro-expression observation. In contrast, the role of the only heroine Ding Jiaqi is not so pleasing. "The one thing I say most in the play is, ‘why? '" The existence of a female character like
can get closer to the audience. It is Ding Jiaqi’s normal state that it can’t keep up with the IQ rhythm of the other three people, and it is actually part of the audience’s reaction. "My role is actually talking about the audience. The subtext of the three of them with high IQ together, usually one eye can understand the meaning of each other, I stand with the audience. "
Xu Lang, as the highest IQ representative in the play, shows his personality characteristics in every expression of his actions and behaviors. He likes to hold his arms and observes the habits and expressions of colleagues. When going out with Ding Jiaqi, he wears a white suit. The suit appeared on the scene and kept a distance from Ding Jiaqi at all times. Her arrogant personality, coupled with her poisonous tongue and narcissistic characteristics, also pulled this high IQ professor from the altar.
The continuation of the subject of criminal investigation suspense
Looking back on the previous content of Sohu’s video, there are a lot of works in a series, the original "Diaosi Man", "The Best Lady", and the "Forensic Qin Ming" series, "Wuxin Master" series, etc., although "Crime Psychology Team X" is another time The content is innovative, but from the perspective of genre, it is actually a continuation of the subject of criminal investigation suspense. The rhythm of the overall content of
"Crime Psychology Group X" is more agile, without the infinite memories of the protagonist, and the story of the villain group. The next step is to solve the case. At the beginning of the article, the Internet writer was dug out of his heart at home, and he caught a bar owner with a performance personality, involved in a drug transaction case, reduced the details, and focused the audience’s attention on The impact of the case can be imagined.
Xu Lang looks for clues from the suspect through micro-expression observation, while Tang Sen can infer the suspect’s living habits and even personality through the details of the scene. Xie Lei is online. Looking for the SNS information of the persons involved in the case, Ding Jiaqi is a capable and active "assistant". The three people perform their duties, and there is no nonsense in their lines.
Among them, the second time when interrogating the bar owner Almost all of the interrogation process was omitted. Through the dialogue between Ding Jiaqi and Xu Lang, the interrogation process was restored, and useful information was extracted, enough to explain the plot, and the audience did not repeat the interrogation process of Xu Lang.
As of At present, Xu Lang’s micro-expression investigation is still proceeding smoothly. However, in the announced trailer, Xu Lang discovered that “they (the suspect) knows that I can understand the expression”, and therefore he has been involved in many risks in the process of solving the case. Injured. "Micro-emoji" seems to have become a double-edged sword. While being used by the team as a "tool" to solve the case, it was also used by mysterious suspects behind the scenes, making it more difficult to solve the case.
director Zhou Jianji and Li Haoji recalled the shooting at the press conference. The process is also unavoidable, "There are many cases in the play, how to set up? How to shoot? We have all tried our best to discuss how to make the audience unexpected. "Although the size is not large, judging by the appearance of "Crime Psychology Group X", there is still a possibility of four or two charges.
