Although the gangster drama is TVB's magic weapon, every time a new drama appears, it will trigger a movie-watching craze. However, in recent years, TVB police drama has become more and more stylized, and the audience has basically figured out its routines.
According to Pige's experience in watching drama, there are only two old routines of TVB gangster drama at present-
First, represented by "Sister Tuo Gun" and "Pursuing Honesty and Order", at first the police knew who to arrest, but suffered from insufficient evidence.
So the whole TV series is the process of police collecting evidence and chasing suspects. In this process, there will inevitably be office romances, racing cars, gun battles, undercover and so on.
Second, represented by Forensic Records and Detective Dundee, the police didn't know who the target was at first, but there were several suspects. The whole TV series was promoted by the police, and the real murderer was finally caught by the law.
Twenty years ago, as long as TVB had a theme of police and bandits, it must be a drama. However, in the past two years, TVB's gangster dramas are far less popular and popular than before.
In addition to the lack of success and charm of actors, these well-known routines are also the culprit.
Recently, however, Pigou has dug up a new Hong Kong drama, Douban is as high as 8.0, which instantly makes the whole TVB gangster drama stand out: Criminal Investigation Diary.
Why? Why? What's the difference between TVB and the routine of gangster movies?
Don't worry, Pigou watched the whole play and dug three highlights for everyone. It is these three highlights that make this Hong Kong drama look like an annual drama.
Next, I will listen to Pigou tell you slowly.
Highlight 1: all the staff are insane, and the plot can't be guessed in the next second.
The protagonist Ye Jinfeng (Wang Haoxin) is a typical dual personality.
At the beginning of the whole play, Ye Jinfeng appeared as a gangster. He lingers in romantic places, collecting rent and handling chores for his boss every day.
Look at the strength of the boss's reward. Ye Jinfeng is the person he trusts most.
In addition to picking up girls, Ye Jinfeng is also very courageous. He found a reason to send the boss's woman home, saying that he was taking pictures, patting and crossing the line.
That's not enough. His affair with his eldest sister-in-law is not a day or two.
Sister-in-law wants to buy a new SUV, minimize the vibration and find him together.
When everyone thought he was just a nobody running errands, it was the other way around.
He used to be an undercover policeman arranged by the police next to the black boss.
Although he is a policeman, he is not a good bird. He looks for evidence for the police here, and earns a commission from the black boss there and gets two salaries.
Just when everyone thought he was just an undercover black policeman, the reversal came again.
Look at his own sister's words: sometimes you are very careful and considerate, and sometimes you seem to be another person.
Either lying or hiding a lot of secrets.
Yes, he has another personality, and this personality is called Zhu Ji.
This gentle and introverted Zhu Ji with high IQ is not only an expert in handwriting analysis, but also an expert in criminal psychology and a master at solving crimes.
Whenever Ye Jinfeng encounters a problem or his life is threatened, Zhu Ji will appear to solve the problem for him and save the day.
Different from the scene of twin detectives in the mainland police drama White Night Chasing the Murder, Ye Jinfeng in Criminal Investigation Diary &; Zhu Ji is the same person.
How can the audience tell them apart? It's simple.
One of them is careless, loves to show off his muscles and take off his clothes to dry them.
Gentle personality, wearing framed glasses and scarves all the year round, is a modest gentleman.
Use your right brain well. Although you have rich imagination, it is basically used to pick up girls and play tricks.
Make good use of the left brain, rich in logical thinking, not only calm and self-sustaining, but also an expert in solving crimes.
They all know each other's existence, but they don't know under what conditions they will switch personalities. Their usual way of communication is to write messages on the palm of their hands.
The protagonist is like this, and it has been enough for the audience to burn their brains for a while. I didn't expect the protagonist's family to be mentally ill.
Ye Jinfeng has a younger sister named Lang Qing. The two brothers and sisters lived alone, but one day on their way home alone, something happened to Lang Qing.
She was followed, strangled and almost died. The prisoner left a red word on her back with lipstick.
Although he escaped in the end, Lang Qing's spirit collapsed several times and he was admitted to a mental hospital.
Ye Jinfeng and Ye Lang Qingben are not orphans. Their mother's name is Yang Bixin (Kara Wai).
If Ye Jinfeng's madness only affects his own state and Ye Langqing's madness is only a symptom of mental illness, then Yang Bixin's madness is chilling.
Yang Bixin left her brother and sister in the early years because she cooked a pot of rat poison and wanted to poison a pair of children.
As for why you want to kill your own child, it's because you have a serious mental illness and often see hallucinations.
There is a lady in a black hat and a little girl with a doll in her arms in the illusion.
Killing the child is exactly what these two people thought in their hallucinations.
Terrible is that just the day before Ye Langqing's accident, Yang Bixin came back.
She not only sent flowers to her daughter who participated in the photo contest in the name of "mom",
After learning that Lang Qing was abused, she also sent a "cordial greeting" to her foster mother.
"If you do this to my daughter again in the future, be careful of your son!"
Three protagonists and three lunatics also make the plot of the criminal investigation diary confusing.
You don't know when Ye Jinfeng and Zhu Ji will suddenly switch with each other, and you don't know when Ye Lang Qinghe and Yang Bixin will suddenly go crazy.
As the three core figures in the whole drama, their state affects the development of the story and the promotion of the plot. To a large extent, this setting is actually just "unconventional".
This unstable factor not only stimulates the audience to watch the play, but also makes the development of the story in the play crazy to the edge of out of control.
So watching this drama, you have no idea what will happen in the next second, which is also the biggest reason to attract the audience to see it.
Highlight 2: Like a ghost, everyone is acting, and Kara Wai is more explosive.
The lineup of "Criminal Investigation Diary" can be called a high match of Hong Kong dramas.
Kara Wai, the winner of the film, is a frequent visitor to the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Academy Award. How many viewers did a movie "Blood Guanyin" scare?
Wang Haoxin, who won two TVB awards, and Jiang Haowen, the best actor in the Oscar.
Yuan Weihao, who plays the psychiatrist Wei Ruijie, is also a powerful actor from Mesozoic Hong Kong. In this film, he played opposite Kara Wai, which was impressive.
With the help of Wei Ruijie, Qing gradually recovered and began to go to school, but Yang Bixin found that her daughter seemed to fall in love with him.
Love is not impossible. Yang Bixin investigated Wei Ruijie before. He is probably a serial killer. Yang Bixin doesn't allow her daughter to be with such people.
In this dialogue, there are three sections of attack and defense, which are very exciting.
The first attack was initiated by Yang Bixin, who asked Wei Ruijie to leave her daughter as a mother.
Wei Ruijie defended herself and said that as a doctor, it was because of herself that Ye Lang recovered. The implication is that if she leaves on her own, your daughter may go crazy again.
The second attack, initiated by Wei Ruijie, implies that Yang Bixin is a psycho leaning on me. Do you want to fight with me?
Yang Bixin didn't expect to be attacked by this kind of attack, so he had to pretend to be ill again and pour a glass of water on Wei Ruijie's face.
The third attack was initiated by Yang Bixin. Her illness aroused Wei Ruijie's instinct as a doctor. When Wei Ruijie went up to comfort her, she took Wei Ruijie's contact lenses.
To make sure he's the psycho killer.
In the whole play, there are many such dialogues, and the superb acting skills of the actors often make one or two ordinary scenes very dramatic and fascinating.
In addition to the opposite play, the one-man show is also a highlight of the Criminal Investigation Diary. Here, I have to talk about the woman who changed the genre of the whole drama by herself: Kara Wai.
Because of Kara Wai's participation, the criminal investigation diary has its own terror attribute.
The first time I saw the coffin my son prepared for me, the look in her eyes was full of yin.
Before, Kara Wai got a hot search because of the drama "Suddenly Face in One Second", that is, she recited to her daughter, Mary, who bullied her in a mental hospital.
One second she was a kind old aunt in the courtyard, and the next she glared at her hair and threatened her words.
She will tell Ma Yong with a smile that if you bully my daughter again, you may die.
You will also turn your head and smile at the evil spirits. You don't know what she has succeeded or what she has arranged.
When fighting, there is that kind of anger that you can control.
Usually, especially when she is ill, you will find that she has that kind of slight convulsion, which is very scary.
Especially in the scene with Wang Haoxin, because Ye Jinfeng has changed under the dual personality, Yang Bixin doesn't know whether what she sees is true or illusion, and her psychological defense line slowly collapses.
The last hug, you see her distorted facial expression and upturned white eyes, was brought closer to the horror movie scene in a second.
The blending of suspense and horror is one of the highlights of Criminal Investigation Diary. Phantoms and corpses that appear at any time and place are tossing the audience's nerves every second.
This kind of tossing, described by another word, is also called charm.
Highlight 3: Unpopular major, the main story is not embarrassing.
Although the plot always revolves around a few "lunatics", the criminal investigation diary has not separated from its own line: criminal investigation.
Looking at the Criminal Investigation Diary, every audience can feel its grip on the horse and where the non-mainstream anti-routine goes.
You can peel off this coat, which reveals the sincerity and professionalism of the master.
Although the subject matter is not new in Hong Kong drama, the main occupations in the drama are not all simple policemen, and they are all unexpected: bomb squad, handwriting expert, forensic anthropologist and criminology research expert.
Except for hurt locker EOD, we know something about it through Hong Kong films, and we know almost nothing about other professions.
In fact, these four experts are not familiar with the screenwriter, but if they are not familiar, please ask professionals to do it.
The crew also invited four famous experts in the industry as consultants, such as Lin Yuwen Maria Lin, a handwriting expert consultant. She is the first China handwriting expert of the British Graphology Association. She studied under the famous British handwriting experts, Mrs. Ruth stron and Mrs. Tracy Troussel, and has a double master's degree in psychology and management.
The consultant of forensic anthropologist is Li Yanzhou Wensenmei Lee. She holds a master's degree in anthropology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and a master's degree in forensic medicine and forensic medicine in the UK, majoring in forensic anthropology.
She used to be a forensic anthropologist and consultant in the discipline of forensic medicine in East Timor, dealing with unclaimed remains, and really touching and handling the bodies.
Ask experts for professional things, especially things unfamiliar to the public.
At the same time, according to the screenwriter, Zhu Chuang also read a lot of books, watched a lot of videos and made relevant notes because of these occupations.
The purpose of doing this is to avoid routine, avoid fabrication, and let the real criminal investigation get the truth.
On the premise of meticulous truth, Criminal Investigation Diary has a consistent main plot, which is two unsolved cases in the city.
One is a serial bombing. The gangster not only detonated a bomb and killed an EOD policeman, but also committed crimes everywhere to prepare for a bigger operation.
The second case is "blood word murder", a perverted serial killer who kills young girls in white every time, cuts off their little fingers and writes blood words on their backs.
These two cases run through. In the drama, there are not only taboo, but also large-scale scenes such as short limbs, bloody characters, rotting corpses and charred corpses.
It can be described as a real home.
So, is Wei Ruijie a green-eyed killer?
The series has dug so many holes, will it be filled in at last?
Pigeon, stop here. This conscience drama is left to everyone to watch.
In short, this long-lost drama finally made TVB make a "turnaround"!
