has a good idea, which is to watch the drama version of "The Three Brigades" as a period drama. The overall situation will be much more comfortable and the ending will be more satisfying.
html As a genre drama, 00s dramas are often regarded as a big framework, interspersed with the luck and misfortune of various characters under the background of the big era.
And when a certain drama focuses on a suspense, the sense of age becomes a supporting factor.
So, can the relationship between the two be converted?
There are actually people who have been making similar attempts, such as "Moses on the Plains" directed by Zhang Dalei and "The Long Season" directed by Xin Shuang early last year.
Unlike the film version of "The Three Brigades" which prefers a documentary style, the drama version of "The Three Brigades", cloaked in a period drama, puts more time and thought into the depiction of the characters' emotions.
During the entire promotion and broadcast period of the drama version of "The Three Brigades", no words similar to "suspense" appeared in any trailers, trailers or posters.
In fact, the drama version of "The Third Brigade" is not even a traditional crime-solving film. Instead, it has all the characteristics of a period drama, such as group scenes, daily narratives, warmth, touching and sensational, etc.
You can even think of it as a road movie. It is different from previous detective dramas that always show the thrills and excitement of criminal police officers when handling cases. Instead, it truly reproduces the process of solving crimes that is intertwined with personal life.
Director Xing Jianjun interviewed many "former criminal police officers" who had the same experience as Cheng Bing before filming started. The common characteristic among them was numbness.
In reality, a person who has lived in prison for ten years is unlikely to have a god-like sense of faith.
Among the interviewees, one was sentenced to 12 years. During this period, he did not want to see anyone, and the visitation list was always empty.
Xing Jianjun's understanding of this is that the passion is no longer there, but he is not completely despairing, he is just numb.
In this case, where does the obsession of people like Cheng Bing who still refuses to give up tracking down Wang Dayong come from after he is released from prison?
The whole drama took about half of the time to show Cheng Bing's awakening process, until Cheng Bing met the killers who crookedly sang "Golden Shield" in the KTV.
At the same time, Wang Dayong is a fugitive. Even if the audience likes to watch, he cannot always show his life on the run. After all, in real cases, no one knows what kind of life a fugitive will live. If they know, he is not a fugitive. .
Such an approach will naturally greatly weaken the dramatic conflict and sacrifice the antagonism between the decent villains, and a drama without confrontation will definitely not be good to watch.
Xing Jianjun also realized this. He gave Wang Dayong the time at the beginning of each episode as a preface, echoing the content of each episode, so that the audience would not watch Cheng Bing searching like a headless fly.
The real process of handling the case is not online shopping. After placing the order, the fugitive will be couriered.
Taken as a whole, there are no horrifying details in the whole drama, and there are no unpredictable foreshadowings. The clues only emerged during Cheng Bing's long pursuit of the murderer.
The clues that play a key role are one is the stone on which the violets grow water, and the other is the packet of ginger candies in the ranger's hut.
Such a bland and non-brainy plot trend will make viewers who are used to watching suspense dramas unable to get enough.
The finale also adheres to the overall style of the show. The
movie version is more faithful to the original work. When Cheng Bing saw Wang Eryong, he threw an empty bucket at him. The two struggled and entered the police station together. Although the ending of the drama version of
"The Three Brigades" is not consistent with the original work, the changes are excellent.
Wang Dayong used a computer search to find out that the man chasing him was named Cheng Bing, who had the same surname as the policeman who was sentenced to death for his brother Wang Eryong. He decided not to hide in Tibet, but to plot a rebellion.
Cheng Bing used it as bait to lure Wang Dayong out and was surrounded by the police.
Such an adaptation emphasizes the inevitability more than the contingency of the film version, which is also a general rule followed by period dramas.
Then, Wang Dayong and Cheng Bing in the interrogation room reviewed the entire escape process together, and explained the less important details and doubts.
The good news of other members of the third brigade getting married and having children was also handed over. Pan Dahai, captain of the second brigade, received a banner of thanks from Zhao Maimai's father.
At this point, this relatively transparent ending is presented to the audience. This is different from suspense-centered dramas that set the ending at the last moment. Instead, it takes nearly two episodes to carefully explain the fate of each character, as if A period drama.
Of course, the drama version of "The Three Brigades" also has shortcomings, such as problems with casting.
Cheng Bing's punch was either out of justice or out of anger. In short, it deflected his fate. Among the various consequences caused by
, the one he cared about most was his lack of presence in his daughter's life.
The scene between Cheng Bing and his daughter should be one of the highlights of the whole drama. Unfortunately, the daughter's actor was not chosen appropriately and had no ability to resonate with the audience at all, which also detracted a lot from the entire drama.
The drama version of "The Third Brigade" allows us to see the life behind the profession of criminal police. It can be said that, together with the film version and the original work, it jointly created the image of "former criminal policeman Cheng Bing".
Maybe iQiyi shouldn’t put it in the Mist Theater, but considering that Goose Factory put Xu Bing’s silently muttering pseudo-road movie "Happy Face" in the X Theater, it doesn’t hurt to do so.
In the past few years, Tencent’s It would be a good choice to create a new social suspense genre.
