On February 29, the second season of the TV series " Chinatown Detective " was officially announced and will be exclusively launched online on iQiyi at 7 o'clock that night (tonight). This TV series is still a story in the world of Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown", and it is also shot by the original cast of the online drama "Detective Chinatown". The second season of the work stars Qiu Ze and Shang Yuxian.
After the first season of the online drama "Detective Chinatown" was launched, it achieved an audience score of 7.0 points, and was called by many netizens to be more reliable than the theatrical movie version. The theater movie version of " Chinatown Detective 3" only received a fan score of 5.3. Obviously, among the suspense TV series, the " Chinatown series" has already occupied a place.
This time, the second season of "Detective Chinatown" is coming. The content of the story is obviously still the most concerned about the audience. You may wish to take a look at the plot summary of this drama that has been released:
The original cast of "Detective Chinatown" Surprise return, four new suspense reasoning units "Angel's Melody", "Devil's Breath", "Amusement Park" and "Golden City". Crime is surging between cities, and detectives Lin Mo (played by Qiu Ze) and Kiko (played by Shang Yuxian) show their talents in solving mysterious cases. In 2024, the crimaster detective rankings will be reshuffled.
4 unit dramas, a total of 16 episodes, with an average of 4 episodes per story. This kind of plot length and volume are not much different from a theater movie. Obviously, the second season of the online drama "Detective Chinatown" is also created according to the story standards of theater movies, but the star lineup is slightly reduced.
For the "Detective Chinatown" series of film and television dramas, its strength lies in its storytelling. As a form of entertainment, the most important attribute of TV series is storytelling. Many movie fans and drama fans go there for the story content that makes everyone burn their brains. A crime suspense story leads everyone to find the real murderer, and the moment they find it, everyone feels it is reasonable and unexpected. This kind of work is successful.
Another convenience of the "Detective Chinatown" series of films and TV series is that they can develop their wild imagination in Chinatowns abroad without having to follow reality. At the same time, they do not have to respect the domestic stable and harmonious social and ecological environment standards. . The vast majority of movie fans and TV drama fans have never been abroad and do not know what Chinatowns abroad look like. Therefore, this series of film and television dramas can be imaginative and do not have to follow reality. No matter how you edit it, people will believe it.
On the other hand, crime suspense dramas set in China still have some limitations on scale, especially in the setting of bad guys, there are some basic restrictions. In the world of Chinatown, the most common rule for setting villains is that anything that cannot be set in a domestic setting can be set in a foreign setting. If you do this, the audience will find it enjoyable.
In terms of narrative scale, because it is set in a foreign Chinatown, human nature can be more evil, and the scale of crimes can be larger. Even when the bad guys are brought to justice, some criminal investigators can also turn their backs. It can be said that Chen Sicheng's team cleverly avoided many restrictions with a "Chinatown", allowing the work to take off on the spot.
Of course, it is precisely because this series of film and television dramas can take off where they are, so its crime suspense stories can only be viewed as stories, and it is difficult to carry more thinking value, social value, humanistic value, etc. besides the story. . Too many works by Chen Sicheng's team have done a good job in telling stories, starting from beginning to end and making the audience unable to guess the ending. However, the final foundation is all imported and lacks originality.
For online dramas like " Detective Chinatown 2", everyone has simple expectations for it, which is to provide everyone with brain-burning plots in a fast-paced narrative, especially those with criminal content. The scale can be A little bigger, the process of solving the case can be more exciting, and the real attributes may not be necessary, but the exciting attributes must be present!
Chen Sichengās team will definitely cater to the established audience. Therefore, "Detective Chinatown 2" is destined to be a good-looking commercial drama.But anyone who claims that it is a high-quality work needs to be cautious. Because a high-quality TV series must not only have a good story, but also have a good emotional background. Sorry, most of the movies and TV dramas produced by Chen Sicheng's team only provide story attributes, so long as they are good to watch. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
