criminal investigation drama, can it still come up with new tricks?
Last year’s criminal investigation dramas ushered in a full-scale explosion. There were phenomenal hits like "Hurry Up" and criminal investigation dark horses such as "Thirteen Years of Ashes" and "Disappearing Traces", which the audience couldn't watch at all.
But this year, criminal investigation dramas have collectively "overturned".
Is there really no criminal investigation hit in the true sense?
Peach Factory has taken action -
Looking at the word-of-mouth reviews and the five-star praise, I would like to say that the ceiling of criminal investigation dramas has finally come.
The plot is suspenseful, and the opening attracts the audience.
For criminal investigation dramas, it is particularly important whether the opening plot is eye-catching.
Most suspense dramas will arrange high-energy and exciting plots at the beginning to firmly grab the audience's attention, and the same is true for "Dislocation".
A girl was killed on a rainy night and died tragically at home. The police were quickly dispatched and the suspect was quickly arrested.
However, the suspect only admitted to robbery and rape and refused to admit to strangling the girl. The prosecutor's office asked the police to supplement the investigation. A year later, the case was re-investigated.
This is just the beginning of the film. The show has begun. Without further ado, two doubtful points are directly thrown in front of the audience.
First, the truth of the case.
Jiang Guangming ( Ma Yili ), who was transferred to the police station as a household registration policeman a year ago because he was injured while arresting criminals, returned to the criminal police team and led Shi Luo ( Gao Zhiting ) and others to take over the case.
After interrogating the suspect, Jiang Guangming found that there was nothing unusual in the confession and believed that the other party did not lie.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Guangming discovered the details that had been missed before. The suspect mentioned in his confession that the victim's dog was not present at the crime scene.
This also shows that the murderer most likely strangled the victim with a dog leash, causing the dog to escape, and the original suspect had premeditated criminal behavior and would have brought his own murder tools.
Everything is pointing to another result: someone else is the murderer.
Who is the real murderer?
Second, the novel is suspicious.
Over there, Jiang Guangming was busy, but Shi Luo was attending a book sharing meeting.
When he shared the novel "Black Rain" he had recently read, he accidentally discovered that the crime scene depicted in the book was exactly the same as the crime scene of the case at hand.
Shi Luo suspects that the novel author Gu Jiming ( Tong Dawei ) may have been to the scene of the crime. No matter how bold he speculates, Gu Jiming is the murderer.
It happened that Gu Jiming returned to his alma mater to give a speech, and Shi Luo made a special trip to attend. During the question and answer session, Shi Luo tentatively asked some questions, and Gu Jiming answered them flawlessly.
Afterwards, Shi Luo investigated Gu Jiming's travel records and found that the other party had never arrived at the crime scene, which also confirmed that Gu Jiming was not the murderer.
Fiction and reality completely overlap. There will not be such bizarre coincidences in the world. What secrets are hidden in the novel?
All the puzzles are waiting for the protagonist to solve.
I have to say that "Dislocation" knows how to manipulate the audience very well. It throws out two hooks at the beginning, firmly attracting the audience's attention, and the audience is eager to know how the subsequent story will develop.
The real world where the protagonists live is full of weirdness. The fictional world in the novel seems to guide the case and lead people into a deeper puzzle.
This drama, the more you look at it, the more wonderful it becomes.
A gathering of talented actors and wonderful acting
In addition to the wonderful story, "Dislocation" also has a bright spot, which is the gathering of talented actors.
Judging from the episodes broadcast so far, no less than 4 actors have shown superb acting skills.
ranked first, Ma Yili.
From " My First Half of Life " to " Flowers " and then to "My Altay", Ma Yili is extremely malleable as an actor, and it goes without saying much about her acting skills.
In the new drama, Ma Yili plays Jiang Guangming. She wears a police uniform and has neat short hair and sits in front of the camera. The image of a female detective suddenly becomes convincing.
Ma Yili also has a good grasp of the characters. When interrogating the prisoner, his eyes are blazing, giving people a sense of silent oppression. When questioning her husband, she completes the emotional switch in a few seconds, showing both the sharpness of the interrogator and the entanglement of the wife. .
This drama once again proved Ma Yili’s top position among Chinese drama actresses.
ranked second, Tong Dawei.
Tong Dawei's acting has a special characteristic. There are not many explosive acting outbursts, but his interpretation of the character is very precise, and every detail is not wasted.
During his speech, Gu Jiming, who he played, recognized that the person asking the question was a policeman. He was very calm on the surface, but Gu Jiming's hand unconsciously held the microphone, his eyes averted, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes. These details revealed his Guilty.
Tong Dawei's micro-expressions and body movements also make the audience aware that the characters seem to be hiding something. The powerful ones are the powerful ones, and it won't do anything to dissatisfy them.
ranked third, Lan Yingying .
Lan Yingying’s performance this time was unexpectedly good.
She plays Gu Jiming’s girlfriend Su Zhenzhen, who gradually feels inferior and sensitive due to her disabled legs. Lan Yingying’s performance is very layered.
At the launch of Gu Jiming's new book, she was pushed to the stage. Su Zhenzhen scanned the audience and heard the comments, lowered her head to hide her embarrassment, and her chest heaved violently.
Then, when she saw her boyfriend’s affirmative eyes, she raised her lips and introduced herself. From panic to embarrassment to pretending to be calm, Lan Yingying’s performance was spot on, completely exposing the character’s heart to the audience.
ranked fourth, Wang Jinsong .
Wang Jinsong plays Tang Xun, hiding his secrets.
When he accidentally saw the victim, his eyes looked at the surrounding environment with scrutiny, as if he was arranging the layout and sighing, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
But what is certain is that this role is definitely not simple. Criminal investigation dramas need acting skills like Wang Jinsong to make the whole drama more suspenseful.
In addition, many powerful actors such as Gao Shuguang, Xu Baihui, Song Ningfeng have joined the show. Every character is solid. Are you still worried that this show will not be good to watch?
Conclusion:
Although "Dislocation" has only released 3 episodes, in terms of appearance and face, it has already taken risks that most current criminal investigation dramas are difficult to take.
里子, is a story.
In addition to the main plot of the bizarre coincidence between the murder and the novel, every subplot is also full of unknowns. For example, the heroine’s husband cheated, and the hero’s girlfriend’s car accident revealed the truth. These are all foreshadowings laid by the main plot of the series, making the story more exciting.
With a good reputation, the reputation cannot be bad, that is, the scene.
Specifically in the play, it is about camera operation, scheduling and shooting. The interweaving and scheduling of different characters not only give each character ample space to show off, but also increase the suspense of the whole play and enhance the experience of watching the play.
Combining good lizi with face is what makes "Dislocation" different.
So, do you think this drama is good?
