In the current Chinese drama market, which subject matter is most likely to become a hit?
The answer is obvious: criminal investigation drama.
has developed from the "Six Crimes" series, " comes to light " to " anti-crime storm ", "White Night" and other hit dramas. Even though so many years have passed, criminal investigation themes are still the highlight of domestic dramas.
Last year, "Kurst" stood out among the popular costume dramas and urban dramas, breaking many popularity records and achieving a phenomenal explosion.
After that, Chen Xiao and Chen Jianbin starred in "Thirteen Years of Ashes", which scored a Douban score of 8.1 points, and its reputation exploded.
So far this year, although there has not yet been a major criminal investigation drama that the audience has enjoyed watching, there are many ruthless dramas in the upcoming film list.
For example, Sun Li's "Above Dark Clouds", Pan Yueming's "White Night Chase 2" and Gao Ye's " Justifiable Defense ", etc.
are all very popular, and they have already become the "pre-selection of good dramas" in the hearts of the audience even before they appear.
Seeing that the summer season is approaching quietly, how can the domestic drama market miss such important guests?
Mist Theater has taken action -
24 episodes of the public security drama "Crime of Low IQ" have been launched recently. It seems that domestic criminal investigation dramas are finally going to have a hard time!
Fog and Surprise
For public security criminal investigation dramas, the first things that audiences pay attention to are the clichés.
First of all, of course, it is whether the production team can do it.
Director Liu Haibo has been in the industry for more than 20 years and has directed many masterpieces with Douban scores exceeding 8 points.
"Tiansheng Changge", "Trident", "Thirteen Years of Ashes", etc. are all produced by him, and Liu Haibo won the Magnolia Best Director Award for "Chinese Relationship".
Screenwriter Zijin Chen should not be underestimated. The drama "Crime of Low IQ" is adapted from his novel of the same name.
Prior to this, "Undocumented Crime", "The Hidden Corner", and "The Silent Truth" were all adapted from his works and participated in the production.
One is a gold medal director, and the other is a "dad" with rich experience in adaptation. This time the two team up to challenge the public security criminal investigation drama "Crime of Low IQ", which seems not to be difficult.
Now that the creative team is here, what should we watch next? Story -
If "Low IQ Crime" wants to win the favor of the audience, another key point is whether the plot can bring forth the new .
I can only say that the characters and plot of this drama are full of ups and downs and reversals, and they can completely capture the audience's attention.
The story of the entire drama revolves around policeman Zhang Yiang (played by Wang Xiao).
He was once a criminal police officer who was at the forefront of criminal investigation. He had been away from the front line for many years, but because of an anonymous report letter, he was sent to Sanjiangkou to investigate the case.
However, just a few days after Zhang Yiang arrived in Sanjiangkou, the local criminal police captain was brutally murdered, and all clues pointed to him. Now he was in big trouble.
However, after all, Zhang Yiang has been on the front line of criminal investigation. He relied on his keen investigative experience to arrest a serial murderer while clearing his own suspicions.
For a time, Zhang Yiang became famous.
At the same time, Zhang Yiang locked the criminal investigation direction on local wealthy businessman Zhou Rong (played by Wang Chuanjun) from various clues.
Zhou Rong's criminal gang has various little ideas and tricks emerging in endlessly. When they are scheming, they provide the police with many clues, allowing a team of police officers led by Zhang Yiang to repeatedly perform extraordinary feats.
These "stupid thieves" often come up with strange tricks. An accident brings Zhang Yiang and them together. The situation changes suddenly. Who can have the last laugh and become the final winner? The outcome is self-evident.
However, the battle between good and evil in the play still makes people curious.
And judging from the introduction of the play, "Crime of Low IQ" is a play that has a serious plot and a bag of jokes. In a humorous way, it tells a story about how the real murderer was brought to justice.
Generally speaking, the drama "Low IQ Crime" is a high-IQ suspense comedy with rich laughs, full stories, and extremely watchable.
Moreover, it is a rare combination that combines comedy and criminal investigation drama, and things become interesting.
Strong actors are in charge, and Wang Chuanjun plays the villain again
Although it is a combination of comedy + criminal investigation, the cast of "Crime of Low IQ" is not ordinary. The actors are all ruthless. If you don't believe it, just look at it -
The first place is Wang Xiao.
"Star II" Wang Xiao has a good reputation in recent years. From "Inspection Team" and "Hurry" to "13 Years of Ashes" and "City within the City", his acting skills have gradually been praised by the audience.
However, Wang Xiao has played "cute and charming" villains in previous suspense and criminal investigation dramas. This time in the new drama, he will challenge Zhang Yiang, an upright policeman.
However, with Miao Che as an upright auditor in "City Within a City", Wang Xiao's image and temperament in "Low IQ Crime" will no longer have to worry about.
And looking at the launch photo, Wang Xiao is in full spirits, and his hair seems to be grown longer on purpose. Presumably he wants to create a sense of decadence in the early stages of the character. It seems that he has put in a lot of effort to portray this character.
ranked second, Wang Chuanjun.
From " Love Apartment " to " I am not the God of Medicine ", and then to " All-In-One ", Wang Chuanjun proved to the audience with his actual performance how wide his acting career is and how strong his acting skills are. explosive force.
In "All or Nothing", Wang Chuanjun's classic scene of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha once caused a wave of fanatical imitation shows. In this movie, his "self-destructive" performance is still impressive.
In the new drama "Crime of Low IQ", Wang Chuanjun will once again play the villain Zhou Rong. As a well-known local wealthy businessman, this character must have been involved in many gray cases.
With Wang Chuanjun's acting skills, I have no worries that this character will be outstanding. I am just curious whether he will also have the baggage of funny jokes in the new drama, and I am looking forward to it.
ranked third, Wang Peilu.
This actor has appeared quite frequently recently.
The crazy donkey in "The Drive" and Zhou Qingxiao in the hit drama "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow". He plays the bad guy and can make the audience's hair stand on end.
In the new drama "Low IQ Crime", this talented actor will play the role of Liu Bei. Judging from the name, he should be a very intelligent person. With such a role in the hands of Wang Peilu, there is no need to worry about his acting skills.
ranked fourth, Zhang Ruihan.
The powerful Mesozoic actor Zhang Ruihan has given wonderful performances in dramas such as "大江大河2", "人世", "Glory of Fathers" and other dramas.
In the new drama "Low IQ Crime", he will play the role of Wang Ruijun. I don't know whether this character is good or evil, but with Zhang Ruihan's strength, he will definitely bring different surprises to the audience.
fifth place, Tian Xiwei.
Tian Xiwei, a new generation of powerful young flower, has made remarkable performances in dramas such as "Everyday Life" and "Tian Geng Ji".
This time she will challenge the role of Li Qian in the criminal investigation drama "Crime of Low IQ". Judging from the opening photos, Tian Xiwei is in full condition. I think she will grow up quickly by acting against a lot of powerful actors in the drama.
In addition, comedians such as Ma Xudong, Shaobing, Dong Baoshi will all play important roles in the drama. It seems that this drama will have a lot of baggage, and I really can't wait for the feature film to arrive.
Conclusion
Judging from the current Chinese drama market, works with criminal investigation themes are definitely a hot commodity.
Although "Anti-Gangster" and "Inspection Team" have controversial reputations, their ratings and popularity are definitely good.
Moreover, the criminal investigation and suspense genre has always had a high ceiling.
As long as the lineup is reliable and the filming is above the standard, the ratings will not be bad.
Similarly, once the quality is high, like "The Silent Truth", "The Long Season", etc., the reputation will soar.
It is even impossible for it to achieve both popularity and word-of-mouth like "Horse".
Is there any chance for "Crime with Low IQ"? I think the series has this strength.
First of all, in terms of production, the show is backed by a strong team. The director and the original author work together, so there is absolutely no need to worry about the reputation.
Coupled with Yang Jian from "The Furious" and Lu Bingkun from "All or Nothing", this drama is really worth watching.
So, are you looking forward to the arrival of this drama?
