Chinese drama is a cycle of reincarnation.
Have you noticed that in recent years, the most difficult type of domestic drama to film, medical drama, has become more popular again.
html At the beginning of the 20th century, domestic medical dramas burst out with 8- and 9-rated works such as " Never Give Up " and "Infinite Vitality". The classic medical dramas at that time can be regarded as the conscience of national dramas.
However, in the past ten years or so, most medical dramas have been terrible after being broadcast, and are full of medical common sense that is full of errors and omissions.
The doctors in Chinese dramas either inject 9% saline solution into their patients, or they dare to do surgery without wearing sterile gloves, and even worse, they confess their love on the operating table.
But in recent years, from Qin Lan "Everything About Dr. Tang" to Zhao Youting "Ask the Heart" and "Extraordinary Doctor", a number of passing medical dramas with 7 or 8 points have been launched one after another, although they are still far from classics. , but medical dramas are no longer synonymous with bad dramas.
However, as the reputation of medical dramas improved, they also began to fall into new creative bottlenecks. Unexpectedly, the one that broke out for medical dramas turned out to be medical suspense dramas.
Just last night, a new medical suspense drama, "Surgery Live Room" starring Zhang Binbin, Dai Xu, Liu Mintao, was put on the table by Jiangsu Satellite TV.
On the surface, the first broadcast of Kuyun had a ratings of 0.1937, making it into the top five satellite TV ratings, and it had a mediocre start.
But look carefully, based on Jiangsu Satellite TV's overall performance this year, the ratings of this drama have skyrocketed even though it started with a rating of 0.11, which just proves the hard power of the drama.
There are two keys to the success of a medical suspense drama.
First, the suspense should be stable, such as the classic domestic medical suspense drama "Medical Case Tracking" with an 8.6 score.
blends suspense into the bizarre illness, with a brain-burning plot and intriguing clues, making it full of suspense.
The second is that medical treatment must be accurate. In medical suspense dramas, medical treatment is not a pretense, just like the American TV series "House", which portrays House as a medical detective who diagnoses diseases as if he is solving a case, but the medical elements are real.
Can this "Surgery Live Room" sustain the suspenseful Chinese drama series and create a ceiling for medical suspense this year?
today will show you how to watch this drama from three aspects and why it broke the situation.
01. Medical suspense dramas are difficult to film. The angle of "Surgery Live" is eye-catching. The three-layer "setup" of suspense is interesting.
Many medical dramas start with an operation or a medical accident. .
But "Surgery Live Room" does not take the usual path. The story of
begins when the male protagonist Zheng Ren, played by Zhang Binbin, comes to Haicheng Hospital and starts working and investigating the cause of his father's death.
The main creator has just begun to deconstruct and add layers of suspense.
The first level of setting is called "setting buckle".
This button is the death of the male protagonist’s father.
An "unjust case" 18 years ago was the first trap the story set for the audience.
The story opens with a medical riot. Dozens of people gathered at the entrance of the hospital to denounce the "black-hearted doctor".
No one noticed that a lonely figure had appeared on the roof of the hospital.
Huang Haibing plays the male protagonist’s father Chen Miao, one of the founders of Haicheng Hospital.
It seems that he is the "black-hearted doctor" that people downstairs denounced.
He was wearing a medical robe and holding a notebook called "The Endless Medical World". Without any hesitation, he jumped off the building.
A loud noise deeply shocked the young male protagonist who was standing in front of the crowd.
As he walked towards his father in a pool of blood step by step, the audience should have the same question in his mind: What happened 18 years ago?
But since it is a buckle, it can never be untied immediately.
must praise the camera arrangement here. The camera switches from an overhead panoramic shot to a floor shot, and then a big rotation, switching to a rainy day 18 years later.
Then the BGM sounds and the male protagonist appears.
The boy back then has turned into the genius doctor Zheng Ren, played by Zhang Binbin. He held an umbrella in the rain, raised his eyes, appeared in a black trench coat, looked at the Haicheng Hospital where his father founded and died here, and walked in.
Why did Huang Haibing's character die? Who killed him? How did the male protagonist find out the truth? This is what the audience is most concerned about, and it is also the key suspense line that the creators buried in the entire drama.
But the male protagonist is not here to be cool. As soon as he walked to the hospital elevator, the male protagonist participated in his first operation in Haicheng Hospital.
A patient who had been stabbed was sent to the hospital. The situation was extremely urgent. Su Yun, the director of the emergency department, and the nurses took the patient into the elevator. The patient's electrocardiogram had become parallel lines. If no treatment was taken, the patient would not be able to survive the operating room.
Then there was a unanimous "cut" in the elevator.
What to cut, blood vessels, the patient has heart blood obstruction, the obstruction must be cut off, and the blood circulation can be restored to be saved.
Su Yun made the correct judgment, but did not take action.
As for the male protagonist who had just arrived, after introducing himself as a new doctor, he put on his gloves without saying a word, went directly to the elevator and went down with a knife.
3 seconds long wait. The EKG came back.
As soon as he raised the knife and dropped it, blood splattered on Su Yun's body.
"The laundry fee is five hundred."
The male protagonist left him without dumping him. This five hundred yuan gap was finally settled.
gives the result first, and then works backward to deduce the reason. This is a common method used in all suspense dramas.
But this is only the first set of "Surgery Live Room".
The second level of trap is misleading.
The three founders of Haicheng Hospital back then.
One is the male protagonist’s father.
One is the former dean Bu Ruotian.
There is another one, the current dean Su Li played by Liu Mintao.
After the hero's father died, his best friend and partner Bu Ruotian became the hospital director and the hero's master.
But now he has given up his position as dean due to serious illness. His replacement is his wife Su Li, who had attracted huge sponsorship for him back then.
The strange thing is that when he recalled an old friend of his to the male protagonist who came to visit him, obviously, he was the male protagonist's father, his eyes were full of guilt. This man seemed to have a problem.
But now, the male protagonist has no time to ask further, because Bu Ruotian's surgery is imminent.
He asked his former student Zheng Ren to perform his surgery. But his wife Su Li insisted on asking famous foreign doctors to perform surgery on Bu Ruotian.
In desperation, Bu Ruotian had no choice but to follow Su Li's arrangement, but he also raised his own doubts: the pre-operative images did not match the master's condition.
What’s even more strange is that Su Li’s expression changed drastically after hearing this, and he loudly retorted, what’s wrong with the pre-operative images?
said again that he had already decided.
But the subsequent surgery by a famous foreign doctor confirmed that there was something wrong with the preoperative images.
When he discovered that the preoperative images were wrong and the patient might bleed immediately and die if he continued the operation, he immediately refused to continue the operation and walked out of the operating room.
At the critical moment, Zheng Ren ignored the previous suspicion and said, this is my surgery.
then went to the operating table and completed a combined pancreaticoduodenectomy with a success rate of only 1%, and finally gave in and turned the corner.
Su Li also admitted to him that he had provided expired imaging to foreign experts.
Because if this is not done, no famous doctor will be willing to take over this operation.
She can only gamble.
But what she didn’t count was the male protagonist.
This surgical controversy not only involves life and death situations and battles, but also firmly grasps the nerves of the audience.
completed the character shaping at the fastest speed.
The male protagonist saves people first, Bu Ruotian has a heavy burden on his heart, and Su Li will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. She is the most suspect.The two good traps of
are like two grabbers. They set the tone of "Surgery Room" from the very beginning and gave the audience a reason to continue to follow the show.
The third one is a reversal.
After entering Haicheng Hospital, the male protagonist quickly became famous for performing a difficult operation on the hospital nurse by paying for the operation in advance.
was even designated as the star doctor of the hospital by Dean Su Li.
But this time, it also completely disrupted the existing structure of the hospital.
It turns out that the doctors at Haicheng Hospital were led by the vice president Lin Ge played by Cao Weiyu .
He is not only the technical leader of the hospital, but also the doctor with the highest surgical success rate.
However, the appearance of the male protagonist has rewritten the original distribution of power in the hospital. While several forces are secretly competing with each other, the background of the male protagonist has also begun to attract the attention of all parties.
The person who cracked the identity of the male protagonist was Su Yun, played by Dai Xu.
The reason why no one thought about who the male protagonist’s father was before was because he took his mother’s surname, Zheng.
Su Yun accidentally found out that his father was Chen Miao, one of the three founders of Haicheng Hospital, who jumped off the building due to an unjust case 18 years ago.
At this point, the male protagonist’s investigation drama has reversed again.
Originally, the male protagonist was in the dark, and Su Li Bu Ruotian and his wife were in the dark, but now, both parties know the truth.
At the same time, using the authority of the director-level doctor of Haicheng Hospital, the male protagonist also found new key clues about the mysterious case that year.
But how will Su Li Bu Ruotian react next? The reversal of
is obviously the key to the development of the next plot.
can also see that the screenwriter went to great lengths to create a suspenseful atmosphere.
With medical treatment as the genre element and the death of the male protagonist’s father as the starting point, “Live Surgery Room” has found the most novel angle of solving the problem of a medical drama so far this year.
htmlThe past events of 2018, jumping off buildings, unjust cases, multiple suspense layers, several forces intertwined, the suspicious style of "Surgery Live Room" has just emerged.02, Zhang Binbin's calmness, Dai Xu's contrast, Liu Mintao's spy war flavor, the acting skills of medical dramas enrich
For a medical drama, in addition to the tense and real plot, the actors' performances are always a highlight.
"Surgery Room" did not invite A-list celebrities to join the cast, but the two young actors who played the leading roles have acting skills. Together with 7 talented actors, the acting skills have begun to explode in the first 4 episodes.
ranks first, Zhang Binbin.
As an actor who started his career in modern and ancient puppet shows, Zhang Binbin has made obvious progress in recent years.
The most successful thing in "Si Teng" was his chemical reaction with Jing Tian , and in " Three-Point Fields " he and Wu Qian had a tacit understanding.
Zhang Binbin, who has good acting skills, is not a monster, acts down to earth, and has gained a lot of popularity among the audience, finally started his transformation into a serious drama with a medical drama.
He plays Zheng Ren, a "genius doctor" who is not good at communication. His young father jumped off a building, making him no longer trust anyone. The biggest trait of
's character is calmness.
I have to say that Zhang Binbin matches the character very well. With Zhou Zheng's facial features paired with the white coat, the image of a doctor is immediately established.
stepped forward at critical moments several times, with a calm and calm temperament, and remained calm on the operating table.
But underneath the calm surface is passion.
had to pay for the patient even if he owed money, and worked hard for the patient on the operating table without fear of radiation. The versatility of the character was also well demonstrated.
Especially when facing the hospital where his father jumped from the building, the character's face showed little emotion and he did not yell.
But it really makes people feel the sadness and huge doubts in his heart.
ranked second, Dai Xu
Dai Xu, who performed well in " Meng Hua Lu ", played the role of Su Yun, the successor of a medical family, with a relaxed and relaxed performance.The scene where
holds his chin with one hand and says to several patients with a smile, "Go to the Rheumatology and Immunology Department, you will make new discoveries" at the beginning can be said to be quite magical.
On the surface, this character seems exaggerated and loose, and he is a pretty useless doctor.
But once he was involved in the operation, he immediately showed rare rigor and seriousness.
This character suffers from PTSD and it is difficult to pick up the scalpel. How the character can overcome his low self-esteem and pain is obviously something to be played.
The third place, Liu Mintao
The role of Su Li played by her is a veritable white strongman.
But this is not a simple role of a strong medical woman, but a vulnerability hidden under strength.
The best thing about Liu Mintao's opening is the sense of espionage he played in the character, especially the scene where he conceals her husband's illness and asks a famous foreign doctor to perform surgery. The scene with Zhang Binbin is full of tension, and it even feels like a master of a spy war drama competing against each other.
The next scene between her and the male protagonist is still interesting.
The fourth place is Cao Weiyu
He plays the deputy director Lin Ge, who has excellent medical skills and is a righteous man.
faced the provocations from the people below and remained motionless.
But he also has his own temper. When Su Li came up with a hospital operation success rate ranking to measure the performance value of doctors, his face changed instantly. This face-changing scene was so strong and full of sense of substitution.
also makes people look forward to his next scenes with Zhang Binbin and Liu Mintao.
"Surgery Live Room" has a total of at least 9 powerful people.
In addition to the above, there is also the master of the male protagonist's father and others played by Li Jianyi, who is also the person who hides the deepest.
Huang Haibing plays the male protagonist’s father.
also has powerful characters such as Liu Guancheng, Tian Xiaojie, and Yuan Shanshan.
It is precisely because of the superb performances of the actors that "Live Surgery Room" is full of suspense and medical scenes, and the characters' motivations are also well-founded.
The story has a foundation.
03, solid medical treatment, novel angles, suspense and emotion, this drama is a breakthrough!
After so many years of development, "medical dramas" have already had their own formula.
Most medical dramas choose a medical category, add stories and acting skills, and use medical treatment to develop dramatic conflicts. The basic quality can be guaranteed.
But watching "Surgery Room", it is obviously different from other medical dramas.
After watching the first four episodes, I have three deepest feelings.
First, it is the professionalism of medical treatment.
Although it has strong suspense elements, medical treatment is definitely not a decoration in the story.
said that judging from the plots currently aired, the drama is filled with a lot of medical plots.
These plots make the medical drama no longer lose focus and focus on seeing a doctor.
Judging from the opening four episodes, there have been three major cases, two major surgeries, and medical details such as visual urine tests. This is the correct way to open a medical drama.
Second, it is a novel imaging technique.
If you look closely, you will see that "Live Surgery Room" is actually a mixture of various genre elements under the "medical drama" category.
For example, the scene at the beginning where the male protagonist’s father jumps off the building was obviously shot in the style of a suspense drama.
Several surgery scenes in the drama also have the tension of a suspense drama.
For example, in the scene where the male protagonist takes over the master's surgery, from when a famous foreign doctor withdraws to when the male protagonist takes over, the camera and editing show the difficulty of the actual operation and the superb skills of his intervention very wonderfully, and the doctors' emotional rendering is also very good.
The drama also uses a large number of special effects shots to show Zheng Ren's judgment of the condition and the choice of medical plan in his mind, allowing the audience to see more clearly. The shots have done a great job.
Third, it is the buried thread and feelings.
"Surgery Live Room" is not like other medical dramas, focusing on the ambivalence between parents and love in the hospital.
If you look closely, you will find that it has many hidden clues, and these clues continue to attract the audience to discover its full picture.
In addition to the suspenseful line about the male protagonist investigating his father's death, the hospital reform line brought out by Liu Mintao, Su Yun's line about not daring to operate, and the orange cat umbrella line between the two male protagonists, all the foreshadowing has been laid.
In addition to being suspenseful, the series also uses medical care as an opening to bring out social issues such as the doctor-patient relationship, workplace pressure, and the survival dilemma of the bottom people.
For example, in the play, the male protagonist advances money to treat the patient. The emotion between the doctor and the patient gives the play a human warmth and realistic power.
Many clues are intertwined, giving the audience multiple feelings.
In terms of subject matter and type, this drama can be said to be the most "special" suspense drama I have watched this year.
From the first four episodes, the plot rhythm is good, the suspense is established, the main characters' personalities are also established, and the chemistry between Zheng Ren and Su Yun is also established.
In this drama, I saw attempts and breakthroughs in Chinese dramas, and I seemed to see a new avenue for medical suspense dramas.
The experience of medical dramas in the past few years has proven that there is nothing that Chinese dramas cannot afford. As long as they focus on the content and work hard on the drama, the audience will definitely give the drama a good ending.
