In recent years, criminal investigation dramas have been the ratings code in the domestic drama market.
"The Silent Truth", "Hurry", " Anti-Black Storm ", these works are both well-received and well-received, and they are still fresh in people's memory.
But no matter how enthusiastic the audience is about criminal investigation dramas, it will be difficult to retain the audience if the quality of the dramas is not up to standard.
For example, this year's "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow" and " Misplaced " have conspiratorial plots. Even with Zhang Songwen and Ma Yili's acting talents, they can't retain the audience, and " Snow Maze " produced by Zhang Yimou also failed to reach that level. Audience expectations.
Is there not going to be a decent criminal investigation drama this year?
Of course not, the upcoming dramas "Above Dark Clouds" with Sun Li and Luo Jin, and "Twenty One Day" starring Wang Zhiwen are both highly anticipated.
However, far away water cannot quench the near thirst, there is no news about these two dramas, but there is another criminal investigation drama - " Female Special Police " directly airborne.
This drama started airing in a low-key manner. When was launched, it scored a high score of 8.4 . This momentum is definitely a dark horse.
Liu Meng, the director and screenwriter of this drama, is famous for the well-known "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", which has been updated in one breath. Although "Female Special Police" has been backlogged for four years, it is better than the current criminal investigation dramas. And nothing less.
01The plot is fast-paced and the characters have distinctive personalities
"Female Special Police" tells the story of captain Peng Yingyang ( Bao Jianfeng) leading a unique women's combat team, codenamed Pili. Grow rapidly in rigorous training.
In the end, during the vicious sudden action, they took charge of themselves and showed their style as female special police officers.
The audience may say that this is not director Liu Meng's old routine again, what's so interesting about it. However, what is new is not necessarily good. What is truly solid is the ability to capture the familiar routines in a wonderful way.
So this drama used two tricks to firmly catch my attention.
The first step: record the growth of female special police officers.
Criminal investigation dramas have always been the home of male protagonists. It has been a long time since I have seen a female protagonist in a criminal investigation drama.
But this drama is about breaking the rules and making the female special police officers the center of the story, and they did not disappoint the audience at all.
First, Cheng Hanyue chased the thief on the street, picked up the bicycle that hit him, took off his high heels, and ran all the way while stepping on the broken glass on the ground.
Then Wang Ruijie turned directly to the drug detection scene on the way to report. One person and one dog rushed in, directly rescued the hostages and captured the criminals.
In addition to these unexpected situations before officially joining the team, their daily training is also unambiguous. Training at the beach, cross-country with weights, and push-ups in the mud are all commonplace.
This drama records the growth process of a female special police officer in a panoramic manner, showing the efforts and hardships behind her, as well as her spirit of not being inferior to women.
The second trick: the plot is fast-paced.
The most taboo thing about criminal investigation dramas is the dragging pace. If the plot is too loose, there will be a lack of tension. And this show understands this very well and progresses quite quickly. The plot of
begins with the scenes of chasing thieves and catching drug dealers. Before the audience's mood has calmed down, various trainings take turns, which is dazzling.
Just when we thought it was time for the team members to go through a "rebellious period", they were taken directly to perform the mission by Peng Yingyang.
The plot continues one after another without any sloppiness, fully demonstrating the sense of suspense and urgency. The plot of
is like magic. Although there are some predictable plot arrangements, it still attracts the audience to keep reading.
This drama is hard-core but not blunt. It also incorporates some comedy into the seriousness, and the whole thing complements each other. This is how spy dramas should be made.
02 A strong cast
If a criminal investigation drama is to be watched well, neither the plot nor the characters can hold it back. The plot is controlled by director Liu Meng, and the excitement is obvious to all, but the characters depend on how the actors perform them. The veteran actors and powerful actors in this drama are really Quite a few.
ranks first, keeping the edge.
Audiences must be familiar with Bao Jianfeng. In the past few years, he has played many guest roles in domestic dramas. He played the emperor in " Meng Hua Lu " and "Brilliant Star", and the currently popular " Shanhua Romance" "Shi" Zhongbao Jianfeng played Ding Xiaoxiao's father. Although these characters don't have many scenes, they are still impressive.
But in the new drama, Bao Jianfeng plays Peng Yingyang. He is interesting and humorous in life, but he is extremely strict with training and tasks.
But because he witnessed his wife being seriously injured, Peng Yingyang also developed psychological problems. When he mentioned his wife in front of a psychiatrist, he looked sad and his eyes were full of tears.
Bao Jianfeng vividly demonstrated Peng Yingyang's perseverance as a soldier and tenderness as a husband, and the character is rich in layers.
It’s absolutely safe to choose him to play the male lead in this drama.
is second, Wang Jinsong .
Wang Jinsong can be called the "golden supporting role" in domestic dramas.
No matter how many roles he plays, he can make the audience focus on him with his superb acting skills. For example, Mr. Yan in "Nirvana in Fire" and Lin Yaodong in "Operation Icebreaker".
In the new drama, Wang Jinsong plays the special commissioner of the East China Sea Special Police Detachment. In the
trailer, he speaks with great energy and a strong aura.
With Wang Jinsong’s acting skills, this character will be fully portrayed.
third place, Ren Tianye.
Some fans of military dramas may be familiar with Ren Tianye. In "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", the high school team played by Ren Tianye gained recognition from the audience for his solid acting skills.
In the new drama, Ren Tianye transforms into White Wolf, a member of the criminal organization.
Sure enough, such a tough guy role must be played by a real tough guy. This kind of subject matter is already familiar to him, so there is no need to worry at all.
is fourth, Bai Lan.
Audiences may not be familiar with Bai Lan, but she appears in "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".
In this new drama, Bai Lan plays the role of special police officer Wang Ruijie, who is bold and careful, has a cheerful personality, and looks dashing in a police uniform.
Bai Lan has a lot of roles in this drama, and her performance is worth looking forward to.
In addition, there are actors such as Ma Xinrui, Liu Sichen, and Wang Anze in the play. Although there are some new faces in the play, their interpretations of the characters are very suitable, and there are experienced actors and capable actors in the drama. The subsequent plot will definitely be more exciting.
03 Conclusion
The reason why criminal investigation dramas in the domestic drama market have been repeatedly frustrated this year is that most of the problems come from the plot.
Some criminal investigation dramas are not solid enough in plot, trying to create a turbulent atmosphere, but the clues are messy, which is self-defeating; there are also some plots that are too thin and lack a sense of suspense.
But this "Female SWAT" avoids these problems to the greatest extent, with a relaxed pace and interlocking plots.
As long as this drama continues to maintain this pace, it will definitely not be a problem to become popular.
