"The Three Brigades" quickly strayed away from the normal operation and caught me off guard.
I originally thought this drama would be difficult to film. After all, with Zhu Yu at the forefront, the film version of Chen Sicheng and Zhang Yi has a high reputation, and there are also talented actors who perform passionately. The audience has preconceptions and cannot comment.
As soon as the drama version of "The Three Brigades" debuted, the cheerful rhythm, coupled with the highlight acting skills of Chen Minghao and Qin Hao, directly caught the audience's attention.
received a lot of praise for a while, and everyone really thought that this drama was stable.
Logically speaking, as long as the first four episodes hold up, it will be difficult to pull off the rest. After all, the original work is very interesting. According to the previous level, it can gain a good reputation if it is shot in a satisfactory manner.
However, when the plot was updated to episode 11, the more I watched, the more I felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, the voices of "abandoning the drama" in the comment area are getting louder and louder, and they are mainly divided into two groups.
Another wave of people directly shouted "ugly", and some even bluntly said "shameless".
This time, let’s take a look at how outrageous the plot of "The Three Brigades" is, which can make the audience feel excited and shout to abandon the show.
One punch will lead to 10 years in prison, and the whole team will take off their police uniforms? In the
movie version, the members of the third brigade did beat the criminal, which can be regarded as severe torture to extract a confession, but they couldn't hold back again and the criminal died in the interrogation room and everyone was imprisoned. This is very reasonable.
However, the adaptation of the drama version is really confusing.
As the captain of the criminal police detachment, he has solved countless cases. When faced with the vicious rapist, he couldn't hold back and punched him just because he recalled the girl's body at the scene. This is not in line with Cheng Bing's character at all.
Moreover, the captain punched one person, and the entire team (except for the related interns) was expelled. This is ridiculous.
In this regard, many netizens have also raised their own doubts -
Because they did not use torture to extract confessions, even if they punched like this, the death report cannot prove that the punch caused death. At most, it was just a mistake at work.
I don’t think I need to explain too much. Even if others lied a little and didn’t get started, it doesn’t matter, but the drama version abruptly sentenced them to 10 years.
In the prototype incident, those people even broke three sticks. It was indeed considered "torture to extract confessions", so they were sentenced. After good behavior, their sentences were commuted.
As long as it is processed into a movie version, the audience will not criticize it if they work together to beat people. In the drama version, it is too far-fetched to have Cheng Bing jailed.
The victim’s father blames the police?
I have never understood why the father of the victim in the play is still making a big fuss about the three-team dinner party 10 years later?
His own daughter was the victim. The police caught the murderer in time and died accidentally. The police are still heroes to this father.
In fact, the claims of the victim’s family in the prototype also acquitted the protagonist.
In Zhang's version of Cheng Bing, after he was released from prison, the victim's father greeted him at the door of the police station and presented him with a large bag of tea eggs in tears.
In the drama version of "The Three Brigades", when Cheng Bing finally came out and everyone got together to have a meal, the victim's father actually came to make a fuss and thought, "Why are you eating and drinking if the murderer hasn't been caught?" , the policeman who came to Moral Kidnapping to help him find the real murderer.
is not only not the logic of normal people, but also has the feeling of forcing the protagonist to suffer misery.
This just proves the skill of Xing Jianjun, who wrote and directed himself.
can create such outrageously suspended characters, which means that with this kind of three-dimensional outlook and professional ability, other supporting characters must be missing.
Brotherhood was not filmed
What surprised me the most in the movie version of "The Three Brigades" was actually the brotherhood that lasted until the end.
You can feel that the group portraits in the play are very full. They all seem to be flesh and blood, living people. From the interaction, it can be seen that they are indeed brothers who get along day and night.
The drama version of "The Three Brigades" has been making embarrassing jokes.
Lao Ma at the police station, Cai Bin who sells bracelets, and Liao Jian who can cook, these people have nothing to do with the main story behind.
Not only did they not follow Cheng Bing, they also had to "talk about it".
Before leaving, these people inexplicably saluted the car's exhaust, and even added slow special effects and background music, which made me dig my toes on the ground.
Cai Bin was worried, but it was just worry.
He didn't go, so he asked Liao Jian to go.
Cai Bin said that he could help take care of the hotel, and bought tickets for Liao Jian to help. Liao Jian didn't go either, so the two of them started to work like children.
As soon as the camera turned, the buddy selling insurance on the other side asked his subordinates if there was any movement in the two insurance companies.
When I saw this, I really wanted to drag the director out. Brother, do you think you are very humorous?
Cheng Bing and Shitou are about to die. You are doing your job here. Is this the time to be funny?
Qin Hao didn’t perform well in comparison
I admit that Qin Hao’s acting skills are down to earth, but this time he really didn’t perform the before and after performance that Cheng Bing should have.
As the captain of the third team before, he did not have the high-spirited and arrogant arrogance. He only performed some gags without a sense of sharpness.
Because he did not perform well in the early stage, after he was released from prison, apart from being a little chubby, he was not depressed at all.
The contrast between before and after is really not strong. It does not adapt to the social inferiority complex and is a bit weak. If the acting is too natural, the audience will not be able to get that point.
How many decades can a life last?
Especially the criminal police captain who had a bright future and showed extreme contempt for prisoners. His dignity and edges were worn away, and his subsequent life fell into darkness.
It’s heart-wrenching to think about it, but Qin Hao didn’t stab the audience’s heart hard. In contrast, Zhang Yi’s interpretation was more in place.
Coupled with the opening of overseas channels, the whole story has gone astray. Cheng Bing, who should have been a little sad, is completely interpreted as a light comedy. The story has changed and everyone will naturally feel that it is tasteless.
It can only be said that it is a pity. In my opinion, Qin Hao's life style in this drama is too heavy, and he is not even as good as in "Undocumented Crime".
Conclusion
The film and TV version of the novel can be expanded and adapted, but if it goes off the rails even slightly, the audience will be in trouble instantly.
For director Xing Jianjun, this kind of long criminal investigation story drama is still a bit difficult.
He can create works in the unit format of "The Illustrated Book of Crime Hunting", but once he jumps to a full-length drama, he cannot tell a story in detail and can only rely on irrelevant characters and plots to make up the time.
Fortunately, there is still hope.
Perhaps the overseas storyline is just a small branch. The most important thing is to let Wang Dayong return to China and confront Cheng Bing tit for tat. There will definitely be a lot of rivalry between the two of them behind
. As for whether the reputation can be restored, the next plot will be crucial.
As a New Year's Eve criminal investigation drama, let's wait and see whether "The Three Brigades" can make a strong start and give Misty Theater a good start.
