The domestic drama market in November is full of good dramas.
" Evernight Galaxy " and " Bead Curtain and Jade Curtain " are about adventure in a book and revenge and business. Both ancient puppet dramas are extremely popular and have regained popularity for ancient puppet dramas.
The period drama " Alley People " did not fall behind. It used superb acting skills and sophisticated production to win unanimous praise from the audience.
However, there is one popular genre that has not made much splash this year, and that is criminal investigation dramas.
, " misplaced ", and " Snow Maze " all received mediocre responses. "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow" has many flaws.
On the contrary, among the criminal investigation dramas to be broadcast, "Above the Dark Clouds" starring Sun Li and Luo Jin, and "Daybreak" starring Pan Yueming are both attracting attention.
At present, these two dramas have not yet been confirmed, but there is new news about a criminal investigation drama.
In the list of drama series planned to be broadcast in November released by Taochang, "Fire in the Wind" is impressively listed.
The plot of this drama is exciting, the atmosphere of suspense is full, and all the actors are superb. Whether the criminal investigation drama can return to its peak depends on it.
01 era criminal investigation, the plot is complicated and confusing
"Fire in the Wind" tells the story of 2003, in a mining town that was about to be relocated, a burned female corpse appeared in front of the police station, and this was the same as the one ten years ago. The unsolved cases are very similar.
Veteran detective Chu Zhiqiang (played by Wang Jingchun) and detective Zhang Tao (played by Wu Xiaoliang) who was demoted due to negligence investigated the case together and finally revealed the truth.
In this drama, there are two highlights that are worth looking forward to.
First, the case is tragic and suspenseful.
The cases in criminal investigation dramas are usually murders, tragedies, and unsolved cases, which are representative enough and eye-catching enough.
This drama is no exception. A woven bag appeared at the door of the police station, and inside the bag was the burnt female corpse. The case itself is already quite horrifying, but what is even more horrifying is that this case is very similar to a vicious case that has not yet been closed ten years ago.
Ten years ago, a burnt body also appeared in the mining area, and the murderer's whereabouts are still unknown.
What is the connection between the dead back then and the dead today? If the same person committed the crime, what was the murderer's motive?
The cases in the drama are nested layer by layer, just like using lies to cover up lies. The clothes that were set alight in the mine and the necklace on the victim were all mysteries left to the audience in the trailer. They were both bizarre and full of suspense.
The second is criminal investigation in the context of the times.
Adding an era background to criminal investigation dramas is the most common setting in criminal investigation dramas in recent years.
Due to the limitations of criminal investigation technology, criminal police officers face greater risks when facing extremely vicious criminals, and the process of investigating cases becomes more difficult.
In film and television dramas, this setting also makes the plot more ups and downs and confusing.
In the play, Chu Zhiqiang met Liu Bai (played by Jiang Qiming) during the investigation, and Liu Bai, Mei Wei (played by Yang Caiyu), and Lei Fugui (played by Huang Chengcheng) had a good relationship when they were students.
But when they met again, their relationship had already fallen apart. Liu Bai's deepness, Mei Wei's sadness, and Lei Fugui's rage seemed to be related to the case, or maybe the murderer was among them.
As Chu Zhiqiang and Zhang Tao started investigating again, the truth gradually emerged.
In this drama, the ultimate goal of describing the case and the murderer is to show the complexity of human nature. The plot not only creates a rich atmosphere of the era, but also explores the theme deeply.
This is the criminal investigation drama that the audience wants to see.
02All the cast members are talented, and the cast is strong.
The casting of this drama can be seen with great care. Looking at the overall cast, everyone is talented.
ranked first, Jiang Qiming.
In " The Long Season ", Fu Weijun played by Jiang Qiming made the audience get to know this powerful actor, and the role of Wang An'an in " Bianshui Past Events " made the audience really remember him.
has the amazing performance in these two dramas, and the suspenseful criminal investigation theme is simply Jiang Qiming's domain. In
's new drama, Jiang Qiming plays Liu Bai. Liu Bai in the
trailer is wearing a school uniform, with a sunny smile, clear eyes, and full of energy. Although Jiang Qiming has passed the age of wearing school uniforms, this sportswear does not look out of place on him.
Many years later, Liu Bai, who had gone through many twists and turns, had already lost his youthfulness. He turned his head against the light, his eyes filled with tears, but his eyes were very cold.
The contrast between Liu Bai's role before and after is huge. I believe Jiang Qiming can play another classic role.
ranks second, Wang Jingchun.
Best Actor Wang Jingchun is definitely an actor. His performances in "The Hidden Corner" and " Breakout " left a deep impression on the audience.
After winning the Golden Rooster Award for Supporting Actor for his role as Wang Shouyi in "Police Honor", he played policeman Chu Zhiqiang in the new drama. In the
trailer, Chu Zhiqiang, as an elder, spoke to Liu Bai in a cordial manner and with sincere words.
But during the investigation process, Chu Zhiqiang's professionalism as an old criminal policeman was clearly visible. He stared at a certain place and slowly approached, as if he had captured some key information.
Wang Jingchun is so convincing as the old detective.
ranked third, Wu Xiaoliang.
In the new drama, Wu Xiaoliang's image is directly reversed. He plays the young detective Zhang Tao in the drama. In the trailer, Zhang Tao is wearing a police uniform, standing tall and straight, as if he was frightened by something in front of him, and his expression is quite shocked.
Wu Xiaoliang can portray the villain vividly, and he can also portray the policeman vividly in this drama.
ranked fourth, Tan Kai .
Tan Kai is also a capable actor. He has shown superb acting skills in "Thirteen Years of Ashes" and "大江大河3".
In the new drama, Tan Kai plays Lei Changtian, who should be Lei Fugui's father. In the trailer, Lei Changtian frowned and looked unhappy.
This character may be a villain in the play. With Tan Kai's acting skills, there is no need to worry if it is left to him.
In addition, there are also actors such as Yang Caiyu, You Jingru, Dong Xiangrong in the drama. This cast is quite luxurious in a criminal investigation drama, and it is difficult to think of the plot as exciting.
03 Conclusion
In recent years, criminal investigation dramas no longer only tell the story of the case and the process of solving the case, as in the past, but combine criminal investigation with other elements. In this process, some problems will inevitably arise.
On the one hand, the large number of life-like scenes diluted the original suspense of the criminal investigation drama, compressed the depiction of the process of solving the case, and the focus of the plot deviated from the main line.
On the other hand, as criminal investigation dramas are realistic themes, the rationality and rigor of the criminal investigation drama itself should also be considered when incorporating other elements.
And this "Fire in the Wind" returns to the criminal investigation drama itself, and the plot is more solid.
Once this drama is aired, it is expected to become the biggest hit among criminal investigation dramas this year.
