The costume detective drama "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories", which has been listed as "the most anticipated in the summer of 2024" by the audience, was launched last week, bringing vitality to this summer drama market. The first season of
"Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" was broadcast in 2022. At that time, the highest popularity value was as high as 8953, and it scored 9 points on iQiyi.com, becoming one of the dark horses of the annual online drama. After two years, the original cast returned in the second season. The "Tanggui Detective Team" composed of Lu Lingfeng, Su Wuming, Pei Xijun, Fei Jishi, and Yingtao set out from Chang'an and traveled westward, experiencing all kinds of strange crimes. In the process of searching for the truth, he interprets the righteousness of his family and country and gains insight into world affairs and human feelings. The second season of
continues the basic structure of the previous work, consisting of "Conquering the Demon", "Death of Wuzuo", "Fengxuemojiadian", "Qiandudu", "Tongtianxi", "Yundingzui", "Letter from Shangxianfang", "Support" "People" is composed of eight units. Starting from the "Devil King Murder Case" in Chang'an, a beautiful picture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty slowly unfolds.
Wei Fenghua is both the original author of the novel of the same name and the screenwriter of the series. He has lamented on his personal Weibo many times, “From a certain perspective, Tang Gui’s Journey to the West is a drama series in which the audience participates in its creation. , the crew has adopted many very good suggestions." After the first season was broadcast, the audience strongly requested to maintain the original cast and strengthen the shaping of individual members of the "Detective Team" while strengthening the team spirit. At the beginning of the second season, the narrative line between Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming was added. In addition to the traditional teamwork, a misunderstanding was created between the two with the help of Su Wuming's "whistleblowing" and Lu Lingfeng's demotion, and Su Wuming The emotional clues between Cherry and Cherry also have ups and downs, rather than blindly presenting perfection.
In terms of narrative connection, the second season also cleverly carried out the "return" of the characters from the previous season. The "Black Plum Killing" unit that many viewers have never forgotten in the previous part will appear in a new identity in the first case of the new season. Wei Fenghua mentioned that in addition to the audience's voice, there are also structural considerations. "As a series, based on the first season, one or two units that can continue to develop the story will be selected and further developed later." From the horizontal perspective and continue different stories vertically, weaving them into a network of stories, "the bright and strange Tang Dynasty will become three-dimensional, and only then will there be fireworks."
"Three-dimensional Datang" and "Pyrotechnics" , it is the distinctive feature that distinguishes "Tanggui" from other costume detective dramas. Although "Conquering the Demons" is based on the factional struggle between the prince and the princess before the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne, the story reflects that simple people are often deceived by the illusions created by cults; "The Death of Wu Zuo" is based on the story of ordinary people. From the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, we can understand the working families at the lowest level among all living beings, and use bizarre cases to reveal the life difficulties and professional ethics of ordinary people.
The reason why the "Tang Gui" series is always moving is not entirely based on the curiosity of the legend of strange monsters, nor is it the perfect fit of suspense reasoning, but the aura of humanity that always exists for ordinary people in crimes. Some evaluations believe that "Tang Gui" neither uses popular stars nor engages in large-scale production gimmicks, but conscientiously makes every recurring prop and tells every wonderful story. For the "Tang Wei" series, the original intention of making a drama has always been to keep the audience at heart, and respecting the audience is the real "magic weapon" for the success of "Tang Wei".
