domestic professional drama is here again!
I remember Lao Meng once lamented when he was making recommendations for Korean dramas in 19 years, that domestic dramas have never been able to come up with work in the professional drama of the workplace. Compared with the true description of people in the workplace in Korean dramas, the sharp presentation of workplace life, we are still far behind.
However, it is worth mentioning that in recent years, we have really worked hard on workplace dramas. Basically, we have been involved in all walks of life, but it only wins in quantity.
just started in February, and the new year’s domestic professional dramas also appeared. The first thing that came to the head was the root of Zhengmiaohong-
"Decisive Court"
went live on February 2nd, and won the ratings for its premiere. The second result is only one place behind "New World", and even beat the new drama "The Next Stop Is Happiness" with high sugar score and good reputation.
"Decisive Court" is the first domestic TV series with "court trial as the center" and the tripartite cooperation of the public, procuratorate and law to curb crime.
pulls another cast list, Yu Hewei, Zhang Jianing, Han Dong, Wang Yaoqing, Lian Yiming, Hu Jing, all of them are acting, so there is no need to worry.
Moreover, the producer of the show is Wu Yi, who is known as the gold medal producer, and the phenomenal masterpieces of "Soldiers Assault" and "My Leader My Group" in the national dramas, as well as sweeping major awards The movie "Tuina" is his masterpiece.
Judging from the two episodes currently aired, as far as the plot is concerned, "Decision Court" is indeed not a romantic drama wrapped in a career drama coat, but a big case as the main line, and then interspersed with the growth of the protagonist and the group Other minor cases. In other words, the whole drama uses cases to promote the development of the plot.
Therefore, no matter how you look at the subject matter, actors, and plot, this new drama can be regarded as the real roots of real success.
But having said that, after watching the two episodes, I still have to say: this drama still cannot be called a high-quality domestic professional drama, its advantages and disadvantages are still obvious.
First of all, the pace is fast, there are 3 main cases after 2 episodes.
Gao Jian, played by Yu Hewei, is a prosecutor with excellent abilities. He is vigorous and vigorous. Under his hand, there is no unwinnable lawsuit. He has supported almost the entire Jiangdong People’s Procuratorate by himself. Give it the nickname "Ghost Sorrow".
Here to mention, Yu Hewei's formal dress is really handsome and too arresting, and the debate with Hu Jing in court is also very exciting.
In order to alleviate his work pressure, he was assigned a prosecutor’s assistant, our heroine, Fu Xiaorou, played by Zhang Jianing, who had the best grades during the school period, a special scholarship, and a civil service examination. One.
A new rookie came to the workplace, there must be a lot to learn, so the case came. The first case of
was a robbery and murder case in a twin pharmacy. Judging from the live surveillance video, the twins committing crimes are basically a certainty, but the twins are not simple. They are identical twins.
Therefore, whether the brother or younger brother committed the murder has become the confusing place in this case. The first case of
was not over yet, and the second case followed, the vault robbery and murder.
from on-site investigation to evidence analysis, and finally found out that the evidence was forged through the nuances of the wall, and smoothly found out the prisoner's vault administrator behind the scenes.
and the third case is the "Ma Yueyue Murder Case", the introduction to the main case of the show. The case of
seems to be very simple. The suspect Ma Yueyue surrendered and pleaded guilty and confessed that he was killed when he drove him to death.
But while she found a lawyer with an agency fee of more than one million to defend her, she seemed to have an invisible hand behind the scenes. How many secrets she has not dug out from her depends on the subsequent development of the plot.
In short, this case must be a big one!
just started with only two episodes, and three cases were interspersed at the same time. There were both court trials and on-site investigations. The fog behind the big case really moved people's hearts.
Secondly, the play has made great efforts to the professional terminology related to public security, prosecution and law, and is highly professional.
It is said that it took more than four years from the Supreme People's Procurator to approve the project of the TV series "Decision Court" in 2014 to the final production of the series.
The play is reviewed and checked by a professional review team composed of two departments of the Supreme Procuratorate. The prosecutors are deeply involved in the script creation, experience life, clothing, language, scenes, etc., to ensure the rigor of the plot, the professionalism of the details and the drama Set of high quality.
From the perspective of ordinary audiences, "The Court of Decisive Victory" is basically an easy-to-understand "law popularization class".
In the twin robbery and murder case, a professional description of "criminal suspicion" appeared at the court hearing. When Ye Ziqi seized the intention to exonerate the twins with "no doubt", the prosecutor Gao Jian said:
"When a person commits a felony or a misdemeanor, but the specific crime is not clear, Should he be found innocent or a misdemeanor? The logic of the defender is that there is never a suspected crime. This obviously does not meet our legal requirements. The correct way is to find a misdemeanor. Principle of superiority".
and when shaping the image of Ye Ziqi, there was a case where she rejected an agent. This leads to the fact that when “domestic violence” occurs, the perpetrator may think that the minor injuries caused by a couple's marital fight will generally not be treated as a criminal case, but in fact deliberate injury is a public prosecution case. To investigate!
seems to be professional, "Decisive Court" is indeed a hard work. It does not use some simple civil disputes to promote the development of the plot, but really uses cases to explain the legal issues that may be encountered in real life.
Well, after talking about the advantages, let’s also briefly talk about the shortcomings of this show.
First, the characters in the play are not three-dimensional enough, they are too facial and lack detailed support.
In fact, this is a common problem including the protagonist group, and it is also the biggest problem of the show.
For example, Gao Jian, the prosecutor of "ghost sees sorrow", put this hat on him at the beginning, thinking that he would use some real examples to show his "ghost sees sorrow", such as how to catch loopholes in the court trial. What.
How does he behave in the show? First, he speculated on Fu Xiaorou's behavior, using harsh words to oppress the other party, and deliberately creating overtime, creating an image of a mean boss.
Is it possible that "ghosts see sorrow" is not aimed at the criminal suspect, but at one's own colleagues.
Also, the change in his attitude towards Fu Xiaorou is also very strange. It seemed that she was dissatisfied with her everywhere, but as soon as she turned her head, she regarded it as an apprentice who had to protect her.
also has the same character image of Fu Xiaorou. On the one hand, she admires her "master" Gao Jian very much, and calling her name to be an assistant in his office is also a confusing operation.
But on the other hand, the errands she gave to Gao Jian were basically conditional complaints. She asked her to obtain important evidence and receive witnesses. She said she was asked to run errands again; she asked her to work overtime to sort out the information, but she asked Gao Jian back Why not work overtime.
and her position in the play is a clever newcomer, but the attitude shown to other seniors is sometimes too disrespectful.
In addition to the two protagonists, such as lawyers played by Hu Jing and Wang Yaoqing, it can be inferred from his population that one is a "Buddhist" lawyer who has a sense of justice and can help people in lawsuits for free, and the other is an agent. An ambitious lawyer who only wants to become famous overnight. The two lawyers
have not many roles at present, but it can be seen that they are still in two more extreme facial features.
Judging from the current plot, these people may still have emotional entanglements. I hope that the follow-up plot will not fall back into it.Into the fake "professional drama" dominated by emotional lines.
Second, although there are many cases, they are not detailed, some of the plots appear abrupt, the dubbing points are reduced, and the lips are not right. Although
covers 3 cases in 2 episodes, in addition to a major main-line case, a major corruption case led by the "Ma Yueyue Murder", several other cases appeared in order to cooperate with the growth of the protagonist group. The case is not detailed, it is basically a one-off.
For example, in order to let Fu Xiaorou understand what she was sent to understand the crime scene of the vault murder case, so she went to the scene for one on-site survey, one discussion, one night visit, one lunch, and the case was broken in two sentences.
also said that it was about "centering on the trial", but the trial part was omitted directly, and the only thing that stood out was Gao Jian's power.
As for the abruptness of the plot, in fact, a large part of the reason is the editing pot.
I have to say that although the show does not have much slot in the overall plot, the editing is indeed too confusing.
For example, at the beginning, Tie Li, played by Han Dong, forcibly appeared, showing his rich second-generation identity, and there seems to be no redundant information. Even with this, the battles after eating at home can already be seen. The overall editing of
shows a "This plot is about to appear, I want to explain why it appeared."
The person or event mentioned in the previous sentence will definitely switch to that person or event in the next second. This will easily make the overall plot incoherent and create a sense of fragmentation.
and the problem of dubbing, there is really nothing to say, basically everyone has a situation where the mouth shape is not right, and the perception is very bad. At the end of
, there are many bridges that are out of reality in the play. For example, the rich second generation can throw tens of thousands of dollars in cash. Even the 2016 play, this kind of plot is not true.
Also, an ordinary newcomer civil servant can specify that he wants to go to a certain post, and he can enter the crime scene at night if he wants to.
and emergency bridges that will always appear at critical moments.
Before the TV series is broadcast, "The Court of Decisive Victory" may want to take the path of "the layman looks suspenseful and wonderful, the insider looks professional and standardized".
As a layman, I won’t say much about professional standards. It is just suspenseful and exciting. At present, "Take the Court" is not enough, and from the 3/4 episodes, the pace has also slowed down, and there is no progress in major cases , I hope I can be beaten in the face later.
Generally speaking, although "The Court of Decisive Victory" is not a domestic professional drama that can be carefully studied and entered the altar, it is also a good drama, and it is still possible to kill time.
