's ancient costume suspense detective drama "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" will be broadcast exclusively on Youku on February 6. The play is adapted from Gao Luopei's mystery novel of the same name, and even the screenwriter of "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" expressed his great expectation.
Di Renjie is a name that is familiar to most people in China. Even three generations of grandparents have watched the film and television series with the same name, especially the peak version of "Detective Di Renjie" directed by Qian Yanqiu in 2004. The sentence "Yuan" "Fang, what do you think" is also a hot meme on the Internet.
Zhu Yu is ahead, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is also bearing unprecedented expectations and pressure. The story is still familiar to those familiar with it, with Di Renjie, Cao An, loyal servant Hong Liang, and guard Ma Rongqiaotai as the main characters. Focusing on the detection of nine bizarre cases, the story is organized in a unit case layout, which is independent of each other and echoes the main line. Not only does it make the plot more compact and exciting, but the continuous reversals also make the plot more complicated and confusing, always bringing new things to the audience. surprise.
In fact, strictly speaking, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is more like a growth story of Di Renjie. From the beginning of his career as an official, he went to work in various places to solve strange cases, punish corrupt officials, protect coastal defense, eradicate evil, uphold the law, help people live in peace, and finally solved the mystery of his life experience. The form of investigating and deciphering along the way also makes it easier for the audience to become actors in the play.
After catching up on the recent update of the plot, I also saw that the comments on the barrage and the reviews of the drama on major platforms were slightly controversial. In fact, if you take a closer look, you will find that this is a thoughtful design by the crew.
Di Renjie's martial arts skills are not a loophole but a bonus
The first surprising thing about "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is that Di Renjie is full of fighting power. In the public's impression, Di Renjie is mostly an image that needs to be protected. This is also the "Yuan Dynasty" Fang, what do you think? The origin of this meme. Unexpectedly, Di Renjie in this drama has great martial arts skills. In fact, this has a historical basis.
According to some historical records, Di Renjie in history was good at both civil and martial arts, and in the original work on which the series was based, Di Renjie was also good at martial arts. In fact, this is a very easy to understand logic. If Di Renjie had not been armed with force at the beginning of his career, how could he have been sent to various places to solve difficult cases? And in the later period, Di Renjie's reputation as a detective was already famous all over the world. How can you protect yourself if you know martial arts? I would have known that this would not be today's legal society, and a Di Renjie who knew martial arts would rationalize many things.
A good drama should be carefully scrutinized, peeling away the superficial layers to see the true story
"The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" also made innovations on the basis of restoring history and restoring the original work. Breaking the stereotyped image of Dee Renjie is only the first step. All kinds of details worth paying attention to are the "nirvana of sincerity". The sophora flower on the butler's head has the allusion of "the sophora flower is yellow, and the emperor is busy", which corresponds to the imperial examination held during the season when the sophora flower blooms; the butler Hong Liang gave Di Renjie's " "Floating tickets" refer to the ancient admission tickets, which are all details of service level.
In the first four episodes, when Qiao Tai and Ma Rong gambled on the street, when the housekeeper and Di Renjie bet whether to take the scientific examination, the queen took out the dice in front of Di Renjie, and the scene before Di Renjie went to Penglai, the repeated appearance of the enhanced dice was the case. One of the clues.
After all, Di Renjie is not one of us who has the perspective of God. When filming a drama, we need to design reasonable moving lines from the perspective of the characters in the drama. It takes a lot of effort to translate the coincidences in the eyes of the audience into the drama, and the plot is also very effective. skill based.
The overall experience of watching the drama is that the plot design is quite novel, and many details are quite "terrible" when carefully considered. Presumably as other cases are laid out, the big story map will only become more exciting.
