TV series " misaligned " has been officially announced and will be exclusively launched online on iQiyi from July 11. This TV series stars Ma Yili , Tong Dawei and many other well-known actors. It tells the story of police criminal investigation and handling of cases. The play is adapted from the novel by Japanese writer Matsumoto Seicho. This novel has been made into movies and TV series in Japan.
It is worth noting that the story of this novel by Matsumoto Seicho is very small. When Japan adapted film and television dramas, even the longest TV drama version was only 4 episodes. And the "Dislocation" we adapted this time actually has 15 episodes. Whether this episode is watered down or not is a matter of opinion. Based on the comparison between the number of Japanese episodes and the number of episodes of "Dislocation", I think that this time, iQiyi's Mist Theater still has the risk of being a big hit.
iQiyi’s Mist Theater has not had a high-quality TV series online for a long time. Can this "Dislocation" help Fog Theater regain some of its reputation? Let’s take a look at the plot synopsis of this TV series first:
While investigating a case, detectives Jiang Guangming (played by Ma Yili) and Shi Luo ( Gao Zhiting) accidentally discovered the novel by the writer Gu Jiming (played by Tong Dawei). The crime scene described coincides with the crime scene he is investigating. Fiction and reality are intertwined. Is everything really just a coincidence? The emergence of the novel also provided a new direction for the two men's investigation, but at the same time it also led them into a deeper mystery... A case within a case, a mystery within a mystery, and the murderer hidden behind the scenes. who is it?
Based on the summary, do you think the quality of "Dislocation" is high? My first feeling is that this kind of story method has long been used to death in previous criminal investigation dramas. Matsumoto Seicho has many readers in China. Our suspense reasoning author Cai Jun was deeply influenced by him. Many of Cai Jun's works actually adopt this approach. Anyone who often reads suspense novels will be very familiar with this approach. Based on this, I think the quality of this TV series must be outstanding.
At the same time, the drama is based on a Japanese novel, which is also quite dangerous. I say this not because I have any objection to anyone, although the Japanese writer Matsumoto Seicho did participate in the Japanese invaders' aggressive activities before engaging in professional writing and was a soldier of them. Leaving aside this aspect and just talking about the adaptation of Japanese novels, it is the most dangerous thing, because it is destined to be routine rather than serious and realistic.
The truly excellent suspenseful reasoning criminal investigation TV series is not about how powerful the storytelling routine is, but the story itself, which has Chinese attributes, especially the current attributes of China, and can trigger sociological reflection through this story. The best domestic criminal investigation drama is definitely not about the story, but about the human nature behind the story. None of the Chinese scripts that use the techniques and methods of foreign suspense stories have succeeded in terms of quality.
As for "Dislocation", it tells the story to the world. As long as it lacks a core of Chinese attributes, such a TV series has no value. It is the stone of the mountain. Teacher Fan Wei's " The Long Season " is excellent not because it tells a suspenseful reasoning and criminal investigation story, but because beyond the story, it is the long and difficult life, and it is a true portrayal of Northeast China. . This truth is the greatest prerequisite for excellence. Without this reality, no matter how many skills you use, it will just be an embroidered pillow.
The first few TV series of iQiyi’s Mist Theater are talked about by everyone. The main reason is that they have real attributes. Behind this attribute is sociological content worth thinking about. On the other hand, some of the TV series later released by iQiyi in the Mist Theater only have suspense and criminal investigation, and only storytelling skills, and forget that behind the skills, there is a need for real attributes and the support of sociological content behind the reality. .
The current "Dislocation", because it is adapted from a Japanese novel, is destined to become a routine.No matter how many Chinese adaptations it makes, its foundation is still Japanese. Many of us who make TV series, especially those who make suspense dramas, always like to use doctrines and use other people's things to make a trick. This is a typical error. Chinese TV dramas should be based on Chinese society and tell stories about Chinese realism. If you don't know how to speak, you are incompetent.
Based on the possible poor quality of the script, this "Dislocation" is destined to be irreversible. Actors such as Ma Yili and Tong Dawei are of course well-known, but the script is the foundation of a drama. Without a Chinese script, there will be no excellent TV series. Ma Yili and Tong Dawei are both shy people, and they are better at shy performances. This also means that there won’t be too many splashes in their performances.
Guo Shuai, the screenwriter of the play, has created several online movies. The director of the play, Guo Yingjia, has made many short films. This "Dislocation" is his first TV series. Young screenwriters and directors certainly deserve encouragement. However, they are just starting out, so there are bound to be some flaws. This time "Dislocation" is very likely to be of low quality. If Mist Theater only focuses on technology, it is doomed to fail. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
