On November 12, the TV series "Sun and Stars" was officially announced. On November 20, Tencent Video and Netflix will launch simultaneously. This TV series stars William Chan , Liu Yase and other actors. It tells a story that combines time travel and criminal investigation in the context of Hong Kong. This kind of fusion of time travel and criminal investigation themes has not been seen in many domestic dramas in the past. Therefore, this "Sun and Stars" is highly anticipated and has the potential to be a hit drama.
You might as well take a look at the plot summary first:
A crime investigation across time and space, a fierce game of black, white and gray human nature. It tells the story of a series of murder cases caused by a building fire in 1990. Hong Kong policeman Yang Guangyao (played by William Chan) traces the murderer through 25 years of time and space, protects family relationships, uncovers the truth of the case, and defends justice.
So far, this TV series has also released two trailers. Judging from these contents, the play tells a crime story in the context of Hong Kong in the 1990s. In the process of hunting down a murderer, the male protagonist puts his wife and daughter in danger. Therefore, he brings his own The purpose of revenge is to realize the future travel and continue to track down the murderer in Hong Kong many years later, but it encounters obstacles at every turn. Behind the real murderer, there is a powerful network of forces.
Judging from the plot summary, the biggest attraction of this TV series is time travel. In the past, criminal investigation themes were all told honestly and conscientiously. Even if the case happened many years later, the people who handled the case had aged and a new generation of police officers had grown up. Like "Sun and Stars", the male protagonist who handles the case directly travels to the future, which is quite novel at least among domestic dramas. Similar stories are relatively common in American and Korean dramas and are not considered original.
Judging from the scheduled trailer, this TV series has a lot of fighting scenes. Especially William Chan, who contributed many cool moments in martial arts. These contents are obviously very attractive to fans. A TV series that has a fight scene means that it has a direct and clear conflict, which at least ensures the widespread existence of ordinary attractions. Of course, audiences with higher requirements will not be satisfied with these martial arts highlights.
If this TV series is viewed from an international perspective, the key to its success or failure lies not in the fusion of themes and the design of martial arts actions. Nowadays, it is not a new thing for criminal investigation dramas from an international perspective to rely on time travel to complete the story. In current TV series with similar themes, the martial arts action should be less pretentious and direct fighting content should be filmed. In "Sun and Stars", the fights between William Chan and others are still designed with traditional Hong Kong-style martial arts movements, which are still a bit showy.
A truly excellent criminal investigation drama, mainly reflected in the background of criminals. What forces support them in committing crimes, and what forces are behind the criminals on the surface? This question is answered particularly well in Korean dramas. A large number of Korean criminal investigation themes dare to attack chaebols. At the end of the movie, the audience will find that the crimes brought about by the Korean chaebols, ordinary people are unable to resist the crimes. Can the Hong Kong drama "Sun and Stars" achieve such intensity?
Judging from the clues in the trailer, "Sun and Stars" will have such intensity. In the trailer, the criminal directly told the male protagonist that there is a mole around you. Hong Kong dramas have always been large-scale in terms of narrative. The big scale here is not about how bloody, violent, or inappropriate it is for children, but about the narrative, the courage to show the sword to the plutocrats, the courage to put them in the position of villains, and make spicy revelations.
Through these revelations, TV dramas with criminal investigation themes will play a real sociological role. If a TV series is about time travel and a large-scale crime investigation, in the end the villain is just a pawn, and everyone watching it will definitely find it unsatisfactory. If a criminal is a character who can dominate the world with one hand, then the audience will think that such martial arts and criminal investigation are valuable. It all boils down to the concept of Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.The pool downstairs in the residential area is not called skill, but the palace in heaven is called it.
The screenwriter of the play is Tang Yaoliang and the director is Huang Guoqiang. These two are both "conventional" screenwriters and directors in Hong Kong dramas. The quality of previous TV dramas has not been surprising. I hope that this time, they can come up with a TV series that will dazzle the audience. Basically, one or two Hong Kong dramas are released every year that the audience finds pretty good. I hope that this time, "Sun and Stars" will be worthy of its use.
