On July 16, the first 4 episodes of the TV series "Skynet·Travel" can be watched on some genuine video platforms. This TV series stars Du Chun , Wu Ma and other actors as guest stars, and tells a story about criminal investigation. This TV series is directed by Du Zhiguo and also stars. The play was completed in 2012 and has only been broadcast on terrestrial channels. This time it is online, it is the first broadcast on the entire network.
If you look at this "Skynet·Travel" around 2012, there won't be many surprising things about it. At that time, our TV drama market did not focus on realism, but on bizarre, fantasy, fun and excitement, etc. Taking the realistic route is the approach followed by a large number of criminal investigation and crime-themed TV dramas around the new millennium. Therefore, the show had no advantage in terms of release in 2012, when it was produced.
However, after more than ten years of cultivating audience aesthetics, everyone’s aesthetics towards criminal investigation themes has also changed. Nowadays, everyone has returned to a state of seeking realism. Audiences are more willing to watch TV dramas with strong realistic crime investigation themes. If you also have this kind of aesthetic demand, then "Skynet·Travel" is really not to be missed. The first kidnapping case at the beginning of the show can make many viewers hooked.
At the beginning of the play, the child of the female detective captain’s family was playing with a helicopter in the park. When his father bought some high-quality mineral water, he was kidnapped. The child's father quickly called his wife, the criminal investigation captain. The wife, the heroine of the play, rushed to the scene and started looking for her son. By the way, among these plots, the park scenes, the driving scenes, including the random parking scenes, are all very realistic.
The captain’s child was kidnapped, so of course the whole team was mobilized. A large number of criminal investigation equipment, especially phone monitoring equipment, appeared in the play and were deployed at the home of the female captain. Everything is ready, just waiting for the kidnapper to call. In the play, the conversations between the director and the captain, the way the monitoring equipment is deployed, etc., all give the audience a sense of realism. Obviously, this TV series is looking for excitement in the sense of reality.
Next, the criminal played by Du Chun actually called. He was not using a mobile phone, but an Internet phone. By the way, this Internet phone model is probably known to many older viewers. Back then, you could indeed use Internet phone calls to hide your identity. Du Chun, a young man, played a bad guy in the play, which was just right. It was much more interesting than the good guy he played later.
The kidnappers directly demanded 500,000 in cash. The hostess said that she couldn't take it out at once. The director started to help, applied for funds from above, and brought 500,000 to the hostess's family. The setting of 500,000 cash is also very good and realistic. By the way, if you ask for tens of millions, it seems unreal enough. Many of our criminal investigation TV series even dare to ask for billions in cash in order to prove their ability. By the way, those screenwriters who asked for dozens of small goals probably have never seen cash and don’t know the importance.
The more realistic aspects of this TV series appear. The kidnapper, played by Du Chun, sends his little brother to get the money on a motorcycle. The process of getting money is, of course, going around in circles first, and then asking the heroine to deliver the money to an abandoned coal yard. Then, the little brother came up on a motorcycle. Of course, the captain was not a vegetarian either. A group of people immediately surrounded the little brother. The little brother, riding a motorcycle, hit left and right.
A more realistic result appeared. The little brother hit the iron plate by himself and died. In many of our criminal investigation dramas, in order to pursue the bizarre and exciting, the kidnappers are all very powerful in combat, and even those who fly over walls and walls are like Jackie Chan big brother. This is not the case in "Skynet: Whereabouts". The kidnappers here are really ordinary people. They drive a motorcycle and panic after being rounded up. This self-killing is actually more realistic and more effective.
After the little brother dies, the boss played by Du Chun will fight.He also has two followers, one male and one female. These two little followers don’t want to do it anymore. Du Chun's character has to go over and give them a shot of blood. This ransom game needs to continue. Let’s skip the next few steps and go directly to the end of this case. This last one is also very realistic.
The police surrounded the kidnappers. The two kidnappers wanted to surrender, but the kidnapper boss played by Du Chun was not polite and shot the two kidnappers to death. It's crisp and clear, it's really more realistic than many criminal investigation dramas, and it's not verbose at all. The upright criminal investigation side was also straightforward and without so much nonsense. Now that they had locked onto the role of Du Chun, they just rushed in, shot him, and killed him.
The male protagonist jumped over the dragon gate and climbed over the wall. The two snipers cooperated and fired thousands of arrows. Du Chun's character was beaten into pieces. In reality, it's probably like this. There's not so much nonsense, just do it. The female captain came in, the child was saved, and everyone was happy. In fact, this is the most realistic criminal investigation drama. Audiences interested in this style can follow the show. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
