For fans of domestic film and television dramas, criminal investigation suspense dramas are undoubtedly one of the most attractive themes.
However, a problem has gradually emerged in criminal investigation dramas in the past two years, that is, the content is routine, which can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue.
As far as the current situation is concerned, an innovative work is actually needed to break this situation.
Fortunately, on the 8th of this month, iQiyi launched a new work "The Murder Deep". has great potential and the entire series is updated in one go, which is simply good news for the audience.
This drama tells the story of policeman Xiao Yi tracking down the murderer under the influence of a series of cases.
At first glance, this plot setting seems ordinary, but in fact it is not. This drama has many outstanding points.
plot charm
The plot mainly revolves around the investigation of the case. During the investigation, police officer Xiao Yi discovered that the murderer seemed to be involved in the case ten years ago.
At the same time, as a family member of the victim, another male protagonist Bai Zhe is also carefully planning a revenge, and the target of the two male protagonists is the same person.
By chance, the two became partners, and together they brought the truth to the world and brought the murderer to justice.
There are two large-scale cases at the beginning of the plot, which really surprises the audience who are used to watching routine plots, and makes people can't help but follow the show.
is different from previous cases of infringement. The victim of this infringement is actually an old woman in her sixties. Such a situation is indeed rare.
And the method of committing the crime is also extremely horrifying. He actually kills the victim first, and then violates the victim. No one can say "pervert" after seeing this.
Coupled with the director's unabashed large-scale shooting, the horror and cruelty of the entire scene is truly heartbreaking to watch.
However, in such a cruel case, it increases the audience's urgency to find the murderer, which naturally increases the audience's desire to follow the drama.
In the presentation of the investigation process of this case, the plot layout also left a lot of room for imagination and speculation for the audience.
Such as the blood on the table, the silent story and the violent behavior of the deceased's grandson.
Various details may be involved or have no connection, which invisibly gives every audience the opportunity to be "Conan".
Just when the first case had not made substantial progress, a new bizarre case appeared again.
A female remains was found. In addition to traces of violence, there was also a cruel scene of her hands being chopped off and cut with a sharp knife.
At the same time, on the other side of the city, a young woman's life was being threatened. She chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building after leaving a suicide note full of despair.
shows such compact content in just two episodes. cases are connected one after another, and various clues gradually emerge during the investigation. How can we not be immersed in it.
Endless suspense and ups and downs of the plot, aren't these the essential elements of an excellent criminal investigation suspense drama?
Obviously, "The Murder Depth" has done very well on these two points.
Moreover, this drama does not deliberately create a horror or suspense atmosphere. All large scales serve the plot, and the texture is not vulgar.
Therefore, although some viewers of this drama have high ratings, they are still attracted by the plot and still fall into the wonderful plot.
Highlights
The story of "The Murder Case" revolves around a murder case that spanned five years.
Terrifying incidents of women being killed frequently occur in Xiacheng. Young detective Xiao Yi launched an investigation in order to uncover this serial case.
However, as the investigation deepened, the case became far more complicated than he imagined.
At the same time, a mysterious Avenger is also secretly investigating the murderer.
These two people with the same goals gradually became involved together during the investigation. However, even though their goals are both murderers, their choices of punishment for the murderer are different.
One is good and the other is evil. How they will cooperate and what will be the fate of the murderer in the end is really curious.
For this reason, the entire drama is divided into two story lines, one bright and one dark. Two people with distinct and completely different personalities pursue the murderer on their own lines. This is a major attraction of this drama. .
Xiao Yi, who is on the bright side, is a righteous policeman, principle-based in everything, and has an upright style of conduct.
The avenger on the dark side is cold and complex, and is secretly involved with Xiao Yi. The reason why he embarked on the dark road was because of an accident that caused him to lose his family and fiancée.
In this journey to track down the real murderer, the open and hidden lines have their own development, but also intersect, which is very exciting.
In addition, the suspense elements created by the play are also a major attraction.
Although the entire plot has a huge main case, the entire story does not only revolve around this case, but also has four branch cases.
What is even more ingenious is that these four cases are not separated from the main case, but are inextricably linked to it.
In the entire plot, different cases intersect with each other, and the story is constantly reversing, exciting and extremely tense.
Compared with previous dramas of the same type, "Inside the Murder" is not only professional but also pays attention to details when it comes to professional aspects, and does not make people feel uncomfortable at all.
Whether it is the unfolding of the two major story lines or the creation of a suspenseful atmosphere, "The Murder Depths" has brought a enjoyment to the audience.
Strong acting
If a suspense drama wants to be recognized by the audience, there is another essential element, that is, the actors must show superb acting skills, which is like a key to open the hearts of the audience.
Obviously, "The Murder" took this factor into consideration and used old actors and young actors to form a strong lineup.
First, let’s take a look at the old drama combination.
The first one to appear is Bao Dazhi. This actor with an unremarkable name is always able to make the audience fall into the drama in one second with his face.
When he appeared on the screen, the level of the whole drama immediately increased, and the role he played was somewhat similar to his Zhao Lidong in "Kurnap".
He looks wealthy in a suit and leather tie, exuding a sense of tact and cunning. Just a smile can penetrate people's hearts, showing extreme contempt and arrogance.
Next is Qian Yi. This veteran actor is extraordinary. Although his roles are all supporting roles, they all left a deep impression on the audience.
He has performed well in dramas such as "Ideal City", "The Returned Daughter" and "Imperfect Victim".
In the new drama, Qian Yi showed his usual style and created a very three-dimensional character. Especially his sentence "I am a scholar, not a butcher" is really impressive.
Chunyu Shanshan, who plays the villain, is equally impressive. In criminal investigation suspense dramas, the villain must be very important, and can be said to be a key to promoting the plot.
In the drama "The Murderous Case", the role of the villain Ma Xingbang was given to the actor Chunyu Shanshan, which is undoubtedly a wise choice.
Even though he is gorgeously dressed and looks aristocratic, it still cannot conceal his sinister and cunning temperament, and this presentation must be attributed to the actors.
When Ma Xingbang stared at his son with a serious face and sternly warned his son not to do bad things again, the sharp light in his eyes showed that he was by no means an easy person to deal with.
Next are the two young protagonists who performed equally well.
Veteran drama star Liu Yijun is loved by many audiences, and his son Liu Yitong has also embarked on the road of acting. Although 's strength still has room for improvement, his performance is also remarkable.
This time, he played Bai Zhe in the play. This character is gloomy and a bit crazy. It is not easy to act, but his performance still impressed the audience.
Ma Sichao is a high-profile young actor, whose acting skills have been recognized in every work.
In "Reversal of Life", he successfully performed the rebelliousness and unrulyness of the boy, and the restraint and tenderness of the girl after the soul exchange. He grasped the contrast very well.
This time, in "The Murder Depths", his performance is also worthy of praise.
In the current Chinese drama market, suspense dramas are still one of the popular themes.
Since the popularity of "White Night", the theme of criminal investigation suspense has produced a series of masterpieces such as "The Hidden Corner", "The Silent Truth" and "The Long Season".
However, if suspense dramas are limited to traditional models, it will only lead to a decline in works.
After all, for the subject of criminal investigation suspense dramas, 's blind speculation will only make the drama lose its charm and make people less interested in following the drama.
Let me ask you, if you can guess the ending of a suspense criminal investigation after watching a few episodes, who is still interested in continuing to watch it? This is a fatal weakness of sticking to the established routines and not innovating.
Therefore, "Depth of the Murder" chose a new route and began to try to take a path with some novelty.
First of all, a certain amount of effort has been put into the scale, and the suspenseful atmosphere is enough without being offensive.
meets the market's demand for traffic through the dual male protagonist setting, coupled with a strong team and lineup. This strategy of not only maintains reputation but also captures the hearts of the audience.
Generally speaking, whether it is the design of the plot or the selection of actors, "The Murderous Case" shows superb wisdom and keen market insight. Dramas such as
are naturally expected to stand out in the fiercely competitive Chinese drama market and win the love and recognition of the audience.
So, have you watched the drama? If you have any opinions, please post them in the comment area.
