In the general impression of viewers, criminal investigation dramas are about police and robbers chasing and escaping, and detective reasoning. The investigators work step by step, and criminals cannot escape the law.

But criminal investigation dramas have actually broken away from this stereotype a long time ago. The unfolding angles of classics such as "Forensic Qin Ming" and "White Night Chase" are very novel.

In recent years, criminal investigation dramas have come up with many new tricks.

For example, " The Long Season ", which scored a high score of 9.4 on Douban, incorporates strong Northeastern regional characteristics, and adds some room for aftertaste in addition to the horror of the case.

Focusing on the portraitist's "Crime Hunting Guide", the collision of sensibility and rationality creates a strong dramatic conflict.

and " rebirth " are memories connected from multiple perspectives, starting with a story about survival in a secret room on an isolated island.

These dramas are both popular and well-known, which shows that the integration of criminal investigation dramas with other elements has a good effect.

And now, another such criminal investigation drama is launched - "Twenty One Days" .

This drama only aired 4 episodes, and it directly shot to the top of the soaring list , and its popularity was simply overwhelming.

In this disaster criminal investigation drama, the plots are intertwined and the atmosphere is tense and depressing. Sure enough, as soon as Wang Zhiwen takes action, the king of criminal investigation dramas has arrived.

01 plot: full of doubts, the atmosphere is thrilling

"Twenty One Days" tells the story of a sudden collapse and subsidence accident in a department store as the New Year approaches. Engineer Zhou Yi ( Jiang Wu ) and former firefighter He Xiaoguang ( Ou Hao ) ) and more than a dozen people were trapped in it. They worked in separate camps and had constant disputes.

As he was about to escape, policeman Ye Xiao (played by Wang Zhiwen) also officially began his pursuit of the truth.

The clues in this drama can be clearly divided into during the crime and after the crime, on the ground and below the ground. There is not much foreshadowing in the main film, and it goes directly to the main plot. There are two major highlights that directly attracted my attention.

Highlight 1: Unsolved mysteries in complex cases. The

case is the core of the criminal investigation drama, and in this drama, the subsidence and collapse accident is the core of all cases and the source of complex clues.

The accident in the play first led to the suicide case of Wu Jianhao and the death case in the elevator fire three years ago. Then three corpses in the abyss were pushed back to the accident. Luo Haoran ( Wang Ting) and Wu Hanlei were two of them. indivual.

Luo Haoran's death was caused by Chang Xiangning's arson. Then Wu Hanlei died with scars all over his body. Who did he owe it to?

The truth about Wu Jianhao's death, the murderer of Wu Hanlei, and the case three years later are intertwined.

The perpetrators, the victims, the avengers, the complex clues make the case even more confusing.

The cases in this drama are nested layer by layer, one after another, and the information in different times and spaces reflect each other, creating suspense.

Highlight 2: The mottled nature of human nature in an existential crisis.

The accident has triggered not only cases that need to be traced to the source, but also an urgent existential crisis.

The collapsed building, the few supplies, and the thirteen people with different thoughts in the 100-meter abyss formed a survival game at the cost of life.

In the dark abyss, how long the darkness in the heart can be tolerated is undoubtedly a test of human nature.

In the play, the upright and kind-hearted He Xiaoguang has been investigating the truth behind Luo Haoran's murder of his younger brother, and is full of hatred for him.

The seemingly gentle and calm lawyer Chang Xiangning also died in the sea of ​​​​fire because of the death of her husband Wu Jianhao.

Interest relationships, love, and friendship have all become vulnerable here. Under such extreme conditions, the exploration of the darkness of human nature, moral bottom line, and firm beliefs will undoubtedly present the most cruel scenes to the audience.

Who can escape in the end is undoubtedly a major highlight of the plot.

02 Cast: Led by Wang Zhiwen, the cast is strong.

The ingenious plot is inseparable from the design of the creative team, and it is also inseparable from the wonderful performances of the actors. The cast of this drama is full of highlights.

ranks first, Wang Zhiwen.

Zheng Lanting, played by Wang Zhiwen in the popular "Night and Dawn", is still planning a conspiracy. In the new drama, policeman Ye Xiao, played by Wang Zhiwen, is about to start investigating the case.

And Wang Zhiwen is worthy of being the "god in charge of lines." A large section of Ye Xiao's analysis in the play is full of rhythm and impact. In the play, Ye Xiao always looks at the suspect with a certain look, his face is calm and his eyes are sharp.

When he heard the existence of the sinkhole, he unconsciously pursed his lips, his eyes were full of shock, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

The role of Ye Xiao was brought to life by Wang Zhiwen

The second place is Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu is an out-and-out acting talent. His roles as Lao Tie in " 八百" and as a martial artist in "Let the Bullets Fly" are still fresh in the audience's memory. In

's new drama, Jiang Wu plays Zhou Yi, an engineer in the building. He originally wanted to report the problem, but after a fierce ideological struggle, he chose to put it aside.

In the play, Zhou Yi and Luo Yonghao, who was also trapped, talked about the problem they found, but after hearing Luo Haoran beat him up, he frowned, with some eagerness in his eyes, and argued with reason.

The character Zhou Yi seems meek, but in fact he is shrewd, but he still has a bottom line in mind. Jiang Wu's performance is very detailed.

His performance in this drama is the icing on the cake.

The third place is Kong Lin.

Kong Lin is also a capable actor, covering various themes. She has performed outstandingly in "South to North" and "Lotus Tower". Chang Xiangning played by Kong Lin in

's new drama is very surprising.

In the play, Chang Xiangning, who looked timid one second, took advantage of the next moment when no one was questioning Wu Hanlei, staring at him fiercely, as if she was about to stare her eyes out, even looking a little bit. fear.

Kong Lin’s strength should not be underestimated.

ranked fourth, Wang Ting.

Wang Ting has a resolute image and a decent temperament, which makes him active in the main drama most of the time, but in the new drama, he plays the role of Luo Haoran, who is obsessed with profit.

In the play, Luo Haoran refused to take responsibility, and pushed the problem to Zhou Yi with a red face and fierce words. There was no trace of guilt on his face.

Wang Ting interprets Luo Haoran's character vividly.

In addition, there are actors such as Ou Hao, Zhang Xueying, and Bao Wenjing in this drama. Each character is interpreted with a distinct personality. It is true that there are capable actors in charge to make people feel at ease.

03 Conclusion

No matter how the criminal investigation dramas are integrated, the underlying logic still revolves around the case and solving the case. It is either old or cliche, or new or good. The advancement of the plot and the setting of characters in the

criminal investigation drama are all based on a set of logic that can withstand scrutiny. Otherwise, it will be like the Luobai Commercial Building built on the sinkhole, which will overturn at any time.

Therefore, the logic of the plot is very important, and at this point, "Twenty One Days" does an excellent job. All cases and character relationships in the play, underground livelihoods and aboveground investigations, all closely revolve around the main line.

believes that this drama is expected to become another recognized hit this year.
