Can criminal investigation dramas in 2024 return to their peak?

As a hard-core subject in Chinese dramas, criminal investigation dramas were once the "light of national dramas".

Around 2000, masterpieces such as "", "" and "Conquer" hit the screen.

In recent years, popular criminal investigation dramas such as "White Night", "" and "Hurry" have also made audiences enjoy watching them.

However, this year’s criminal investigation dramas have repeatedly disappointed the audience.

In the first half of the year, dramas such as " Gloomy Fire ", "The Hidden Man", and "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow" had confusing logic and were full of loopholes.

's " misplaced " and "Nine-Part Prosecutor" in the second half of the year had innovative content, but their popularity was tepid and their results were unsatisfactory.

Is it possible that there won’t be another criminal investigation drama in 2024 that can ignite the audience’s enthusiasm for dramas?

Don't worry, the drama is coming!

Online rumors say that "Undertow" may be released on Taochang at the end of September. The cast of the drama is eye-catching, and the trailer is full of suspense. It seems that the real king of the year's drama is coming. !

The female corpse with severed feet in the sewage pool is so suspenseful

"Undercurrent" tells the story of a female corpse with severed feet found in the Xuri Factory, a former large state-owned factory. Interpol Lian Haiping (played by Chen Jianbin ) leads a rookie Police officer Shi Qiangfeng (played by Chen Ruoxuan) investigates the case together.

As each suspect enters the investigative field of view, the truth of an old case involving Lian Haiping and Shi Qiangfeng gradually begins to surface.

Combined with the trailer, it is not difficult to see that the plot has three major characteristics:

One: the method of committing the crime is bizarre.

The first thing that catches the audience’s attention is the plot setting.

A female body was found in an abandoned sewage pool. After the murderer killed the person, he brutally sawed off one of the victim's feet.

It is obvious that this murder was a purposeful vendetta, or in other words, the murderer had a stubborn way of dealing with the body of the deceased.

While the police investigation was at a loss, cases of female corpses with broken feet occurred one after another, casting a shadow over the Rising Sun Factory, which used to be full of fireworks.

Second: The sense of suspense is doubled.

As the case was investigated, suspects came into the police's sight one by one. At this moment, an old case involving Lian Haiping and Shi Qiangfeng gradually surfaced.

Behind each case, there seems to be a pair of invisible hands controlling the investigation direction of Lian Haiping and others, seeming to be guiding and seeming to be blocking.

Who is the murderer behind the successive cases of female corpses with severed feet? Why did the murderer place the murder scene at the Xuri Factory, a large state-owned factory? The case of

is complicated and confusing, and the pair of eyes hidden in the dark are never found. This sense of mystery fills the whole drama, and there is too much suspense.

Part 3: Two male protagonists’ investigation.

Criminal investigation dramas do not need lingering love. What the audience wants to watch is a pure showdown between good and evil, and an exciting journey to hunt down the murderer.

's new drama adopts the popular model of two male protagonists. A middle-aged detective leads a team of rookie policemen. Two people with completely opposite personalities come together to investigate the case. The fierce sparks from the collision make the plot more exciting.

At the same time, there is also a confusing relationship between the two policemen. Lian Haiping and Shi Qiangfeng initially had suspicions about each other, but after the old case surfaced, the relationship between the two became somewhat meaningful.

The stories and past of the two generations of police officers, middle-aged and young, are interspersed in the case. They are told in a leisurely manner, and combined with the reasoning process, the story exudes a strong human touch in addition to solving the case.

It can be said that the drama "Undercover" is full of scale and full of suspense. The various hooks laid out in the trailer will whet the audience's appetite.

I am confident that this new drama will definitely bring the criminal investigation theme back to its prime moment in criminal investigation dramas.

A strong cast is gathered together, and the cast is good.

How can a criminal investigation drama not have a strong cast of actors? The cast of "Undercover" is so surprising. Among them, these 5 actors are the ones I am looking forward to the most.

ranks first, Chen Jianbin.

The acting skills of TV King Chen Jianbin are obvious to the audience.

Everyone has seen his precise control of the characters in the classic "The Legend of Zhen Huan". In criminal investigation suspense dramas such as "Trident" and "Thirteen Years of Ashes", Chen Jianbin has also brought quite exciting performances to the audience. Performance.

In the new drama, Chen Jianbin plays Lian Haiping, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. In the

trailer, he seems to be watching, sitting in the car and looking out at the street. His eyes are full of sharp light like a predatory eagle. His face hidden in the darkness is serious and fierce. It seems that he is planning to close the net. .

At the end of the shot, Lian Haiping is sitting at the door of the Xuri Factory amid the smoke and smoke, looking at the gray sky, his eyes empty and nostalgic, his temperament sad, and he seems to be trapped in some kind of painful memories.

Chen Jianbin's performance is full of tension. I believe that this time, he will once again create a classic role for the audience.

ranked second, Mei Ting.

If you have the emperor, you can’t lack the queen.

powerful Mei Ting has performed impressively in film and television dramas such as " Massage ", " Mobile ", " Parents' Love ".

In the new drama, Mei Ting will play the couple with her partner Chen Jianbin. In the trailer of

, her character Jiang Mingyan is quarreling with Lian Haiping for unknown reasons.

I saw her with a broken expression and roaring at the other party. The tears in her eyes were stubborn and refused to fall. Her sad and angry expression was extremely explosive.

The acting duo of Chen Jianbin and Mei Ting are very valuable, and the scenes between them are absolutely wonderful.

ranked third, Cheng Taishen.

Best Actor Cheng Taishen was also invited.

In "The Human World", Cheng Taishen vividly portrays Feng Huacheng's pursuit of fame and fame and his disregard for self-interest. His ugly face makes people feel itching to think about it now.

In the new drama, Shen Huazhang, played by Cheng Taishen, seems to be a suffering master. In the

trailer, he is fighting fiercely with someone, with strong hatred bursting out of his eyes, and sparkling tears in his eyes. His fierce expression shows that he has sworn hatred with the other person.

I always feel at ease when I watch veteran actors acting. I'm just afraid that Cheng Taishen doesn't have many scenes and won't be enough to watch.

ranks fourth, Shi Ke.

"The female widow of the Tang Dynasty performs an autopsy on Cao Hui, and everyone is waiting to stand back!"

Heard her voice before seeing her. The role of Cao Hui played by Shi Ke in "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty: Journey to the West" is really lifelike. The grief and hatred after the death of her son were played very contagiously by Cao Hui, and her acting skills are quite eye-catching.

In the new drama, Shi Ke will play the role of Sun Qiuhong. In the

trailer, she looked at the floor not far away with a shocked face, her expression was horrified, and she didn't know what horrifying scene she saw.

Although there are not many shots in the trailer, one scene makes the character full of suspenseful story. I am really looking forward to Shi Ke's performance in the feature film.

ranked fifth, Zheng Jiabin.

Zheng Jiabin played a very classic role as the human spirit secretary Wang in "Hurry Up". Although there were not many scenes, the character's cunning and pretentiousness were vividly performed by Zheng Jiabin.

In the new drama, he will play the role of Hu Xiangze. Looking at the stills, he has a bright and gentle smile, but he always gives people a vague sense of sinisterness. Is the character

good or evil? So curious.

In addition, actors such as Yang Zhizi, Wu Shuang, Qian Yi, Wang Yisheng will join the new drama, bringing the audience a wonderful criminal investigation suspense performance.

Conclusion

In my opinion, "Undercover" has two major advantages that can break the current deadlock of criminal investigation suspense dramas.

1. Solid plot support.

In fact, except for the female corpse with severed feet, the scale of the new drama is not particularly bloody or large-scale.

But the single method of committing the crime itself reveals a strange and suspenseful atmosphere. The trailer has already given people goosebumps. I believe the main film will not disappoint the audience.

2. The acting quality is reassuring.

Good actors are the key to success in a criminal investigation suspense drama. The new drama has acting masters such as Chen Jianbin and Mei Ting joining the cast. The young actors are also very talented. I believe their acting skills can capture the attention of the audience.

I believe that as long as the drama is officially scheduled and aired smoothly, it will definitely lead the ratings and lead the criminal investigation theme back to its peak.
