Following the success of "Detective Chinatown 1", "Detective Chinatown" once again expands its boundaries and leads the way The audience embarks on a new investigative journey. The 2024 "Beijing Audiovisual" key literary and artistic project "Detective Chinatown 2" will be presented to the audience in the form of a unique "unit story". The play consists of four units: "Angel's Melody", "Devil's Breath", "Amusement Park" and "Golden City", which explore in depth the "Tang Detective Universe" from four different dimensions: human nature, faith, desire and wealth. The boundaries and choices between good and evil.
The malice behind Angel Melody
In the first unit at the beginning, "Angel's Melody", the melody is the introduction and important foreshadowing. Lin Mo (played by Qiu Ze) and Kiko (played by Shang Yuxian) received a request for help from the pianist through the melody. In order to save the pianist, Lin Mo chose to enter the Angel Nursing Home as a mental patient to find out the truth. There was once a hypothesis that was popular on major Q&A websites: "How to prove that you are indeed a normal person in a mental hospital?" Lin Mo encountered this problem. In the mental hospital, he tried his best to prove that he was thinking normally but still suffered electric shocks and was arrested. This allowed the audience to deeply immerse themselves in the desperate atmosphere of "unable to prove that he is a normal person". The music interspersed in the unit story from beginning to end also serves as a symbol of the intense and exciting investigation process, enhancing the audience's perception from visual, psychological and auditory perspectives, allowing the audience to be completely immersed in the ups and downs of the plot.
The greed behind "faith"
The second unit story "The Devil's Breath" revolves around the mysterious organization "The Meditation Meeting". It exists in the form of a church and vigorously attracts members under the banner of "being able to see people's souls." As Lin Mo traced the truth behind the murder of lawyer Naven, he gradually uncovered the true face of the church. It turns out that the so-called "seeing the soul" only uses a drug called amoxicillin to make members spiritually obey the church and get stuck in it by taking advantage of the inner fears and vulnerabilities subconsciously exposed by members in their dreams. What is hidden behind "faith" is not nobleness and kindness, but ugly greed. As the secrets behind the "meditation meeting" were revealed, the play also conveyed its own theme: true faith comes from hope and strength, not fanaticism and greed.
Through the Beijing-produced online drama "Detective Chinatown 2", we have seen the infinite possibilities and innovative spirit of China's film and television drama industry chain. After the successful experience of the first part, the plot of the drama is more closely integrated with real-life issues, deeply analyzing the social significance and value behind the case, and causing the audience to think deeply. In the future, the drama will launch two units: "Amusement Park" and "Golden City". Let us look forward to the follow-up story of "Detective Chinatown 2" and continue to explore the truth and the mystery of human nature. (Liu Siqiu)
