There is such a drama, watching it will make people have two kinds of feelings:
It's 2021, and there are still people filming this kind of drama?
It's 2021, and you can still see this kind of drama!
It is said that the "Criminal Investigation Diary" has recently been highly discussed, and the current Douban score is 8.0 points. If there is no accident, this year's Chinese suspense drama reputation list, it can at least rank in the top three.
Veteran TVB fans will be instantly impressed when they see this lineup, which is a publicity photo with excessive content of "Emperor of Vision" and "After-Vision". / Criminal Investigation Diary
Going around, TVB once again used its old criminal investigation theme professional drama to find its field this summer. But the reason why "Criminal Investigation Diary" is fascinating is because it breaks the traditional routine of TVB professional dramas.
The last TV series that can be described as "all crazy" should be the Korean drama "Penthouse", but this is just a description of its bloody exaggerated plot. Placed in the Criminal Investigation Diary, "all the madmen" is actually a basic statement of facts.
After all, it's hard to see such a famous line in a TV series - "Don't mess with me, I'm sick!" "I'm sick too, and you let the horse come!"
Although neuropathy does not say that they are neurotic, the people here can prove to each other that everyone is sick.
"Criminal Investigation Diary", also known as "Urban MentalLy Ill Person's Illustrated Book". Lu Zi is such a wild criminal investigation drama, I believe you have not really seen it.
Criminal diary?
No, patient diary
Frankly speaking, "Criminal Investigation Diary" is a film that the more you look at it, the more people want to say, "Is it sick?" "The TV series. Just by looking at its synopsis, it is "as if there is that serious illness".
Yang Bixin, played by Hui Yinghong, is plagued by schizophrenia, almost poisoning her son Ye Jinfeng (Wang Haoxin) and daughter Ye Langqing, and then ran away from home and did not say goodbye for seventeen years.
This short few seconds of footage in the trailer is one of the famous scenes of "Criminal Investigation Diary" frantically sucking fans.
Because of the excessive fright, Ye Jinfeng dissociated his second personality, Zhu Jie, concealed the fact that he was a dual personality, but lived a "double" life. After being admitted to the police, Ye Jinfeng was quickly sent by his boss to work as an undercover lurker next to the gangster.

His second personality, Zhu Jie, became a well-known handwriting analysis expert in Hong Kong, was recruited to join the police special case team as a case solving consultant, and together with other members of the special case team, he viciously fought high-IQ criminals with various psychological deviations and solved a number of horrific and unsolved cases.
The whole story of "Criminal Investigation Diary" began seventeen years later from the "touching" mother-son reunion of Yang Bixin and Ye Jinfeng.
The mother, who did not say goodbye, was directly declared "dead" by her son Ye Jinfeng. / Criminal Investigation Diary
Compared with the criminal investigation elements included in the title, "Criminal Investigation Diary" is more like a psychological drama. Here, rather than solving a case, curing the disease is the right thing to do.
Since "after the founding of the Country, it is not allowed to become a spirit", many domestic suspense thrillers have all had a common way back: they are all caused by mentally ill people. Mental illness is a brick, you can't move it in without ghosts, and mental illness has become the main means of creating a terrible atmosphere.
The main characters who appear in "Criminal Investigation Diary", whether suspects, victims or police, suffer from different types of mental illness, and the expression of mental patients in the play is much richer than in previous episodes.
Ye Langqing, the younger sister of the male protagonist Ye Jinfeng, is the latest victim in the blood serial murder case, and although it is difficult not to die, she suffers from "afterglow phobia". It is a type of social phobia in which patients are highly alert and fearful of those they see in the afterglow, and at the same time cannot control themselves to scan others with the afterglow, nor can they look at others.
As the plot unfolds, Ye Langqing, as the only survivor, falls in love with the murderer, and the follow-up series of confusing operations are actually typical symptoms of Stockholm syndrome patients.
The heroine You Yanxing is one of the special case teams established to solve the bloody case, and her profession is a familiar bomb disposal expert, who suffers from severe PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) because she witnessed her colleagues die in front of her eyes.
Not only that, You Yanxing was used by the drug dealer's father to transport drugs when she was a child, and this childhood shadow made her suffer from certain emotional barriers for a long time, unable to maintain a stable emotional link with others, and also became the biggest obstacle to her and the male protagonist's second personality, Zhu Jie, who had a deep relationship.
Nie Shan, the father of criminal investigation, who only officially appeared in the second half of the story, has been tormented by "bipolar disorder" for many years; the real murderer of the blood serial murder case is also because he was bullied and abused by his mother for many years when he was a child, which led to psychopathy...

Even an ordinary supporting role will have the problem of "disobedience". What is "disobedience"? It is a symptom of resistance or rebellion towards the demands or instructions of others, also known as resistance.
More colloquially, this is a psychiatric disorder exclusive to "lever essence".
The next time you encounter "bar essence", I know how to describe it. / Criminal Investigation Diary
"Psychosis and cold fever are no different, the same can be cured." The theme that "Criminal Investigation Diary" has always emphasized is the de-singularization and de-stigmatization of mental illness.
Don't just see the "mental illness", but see the "person" who seeks medical treatment.
The basic cultivation of an actor
Nine of the ten people who began to chase "Criminal Investigation Diary" probably went to Hui Yinghong to see what new tricks hui Yinghong's version of "Mother" could perform this time.
For Hui Yinghong, this role is also a new challenge. The challenge is not how she wants to play a different mother, but how she should play the most authentic side of this unusual mother.
Yang Bixin in "Criminal Investigation Diary" is a typical schizophrenic patient and a victim delusional patient. Schizophrenic patients with auditory hallucinations, split thinking, hyperactivity and other states, normal people are difficult to guess the experience, if you are not careful, you will use too much force.

"This role is difficult, first of all, I can't exaggerate because she has medical authenticity, can't play her very dramatically, but I think this character can attract the audience." 」 In this crew, in addition to the screenwriter and director, Hui Yinghong feels that she is the actor who knows the disease best, so she cannot have any problems with her.
Let the audience believe that she is Yang Bixin, the best way is to be "true" and try to make all behavioral reactions real. Yang Bixin is a real person, with complex life experiences, and her subconscious has a strong maternal love that can most move people.
In the sixth episode, Yang Bixin was forced to take the medicine prescribed by the psychiatrist, and in order to maintain her mental clarity and protect her daughter, she spit out the medicine on the side of the road after leaving the clinic and going downstairs.
"I told the director that I would really vomit later, and everyone didn't believe it, saying it was impossible. Before the shooting, I quickly drank two bottles of water, and as soon as he shouted the action, I quickly put my finger into my throat, and when I cut it, I would spit out, and you would see that scene, and I was really vomiting. ”
This is the truth that Hui Yinghong can imagine, and it is also the truth she wants the audience to see. That kind of hard work and pain is the most life-conscious.

In addition to the "Yang Bixin" guaranteed by the acting skills, the authenticity of "Criminal Investigation Diary" is also its professionalism. The entire script of "Criminal Investigation Diary" was written by the screenwriter who invited a group of professional scholars to explain the class to the whole crew, and wrote the script after understanding the disease of schizophrenia.
This kind of professionalism is also the greatest guarantee for the realism of "Criminal Investigation Diary". Ye Jinfeng, the male protagonist with multiple personalities played by Wang Haoxin, needs to switch personalities many times, and even has the role of personalities "playing" each other.
A large number of personality transformation scenes in the entire "Criminal Investigation Diary" are not handled with post-editing, special effects and other techniques, all supported by Wang Haoxin's acting skills.
"Because the data shows that real patients with multiple personalities don't actually react too violently when they switch personalities, it may be a migraine, or the conversion is completed in the 'fragment' instant."
The mirror that often appears in the play is an important prop. / Criminal Investigation Diary
Details like these are handled very much to the test of the actors. Because it must be very clear about the characteristics of each personality, coupled with the high degree of mental concentration, Wang Haoxin can only shoot a maximum of eight or nine hours a day, otherwise people will "blackout", and even tried the director to send him home to recuperate.
At the end of the ninth episode, in order to prevent Yang Bixin, whose spirit was on the verge of collapse, from self-harming, the personalities of Ye Jinfeng and Zhu Jie repeatedly switched within tens of seconds.
In this clip, you can see Yang Bixin, Ye Jinfeng and Zhu Jie, except for Hui Yinghong and Wang Haoxin. That's the truth.

Post-Hong Kong drama era
To a certain extent, the "Criminal Investigation Diary" starring Hui Yinghong, Jiang Haowen and Yuan Weihao may be regarded as a continuation and upgrade of the concept of TVB's criminal investigation drama "Iron Detective" a few years ago.
Huang Xiaolong, one of the screenwriters of "Criminal Investigation Diary", mentioned a point of view when talking about the previous work "Iron Detective": "TVB dramas, especially police dramas, have been regarded by the audience as a routine, like going to McDonald's to order a set menu, hamburger + cola + fries. ”
One of the advantages of dining here is that it saves time for ordering. If not, then you are depressed.
Success is also "package", and defeat is also "package". Audiences who do not want to consider the content of the package have lost their imagination space, and the loss of fun in chasing dramas has become more and more serious.
In this case, "Criminal Investigation Diary" is a new package launched by TVB, "cooking does not follow the inherent routine, so it is difficult to please every audience." But at the same time, the crew threw the question to the "diners": "The audience should also think more about some new types of food and let themselves have more choices." ”
The various dramatic symptoms presented in the Criminal Investigation Diary correspond to the collective syndromes of modern cities. Urban people, who are held back by fast pace and high pressure, inevitably have psychological problems of this or that, and even come close to the brink of collapse.
In common film and television dramas, multiple personality patients are committed to "killing" each other. Such a peaceful coexistence and harmony is rare. / Criminal Investigation Diary
Paying attention to mental illness is a common topic of Hong Kong-style film and television in recent years. Hui Yinghong played an Alzheimer's patient in "Lucky Me", and "A Thought without a Name" is about bipolar disorder. The multiple personality protagonist is not tvB's first attempt, in "Three Women and One Cause", the heroine played by Huang Zhiwen has a triple personality.
The "patients" who were once not understood or tolerated were cloaked in the glamorous cloak of TVB professional dramas. Let the big and small characters with various "problems" solve or rescue different cases and stories.
In the post-Hong Kong drama era, when we watch Hong Kong-style professional dramas again, what do we really want to see?
Even if you go alone, Hong Kong drama will find a new way out of it. / Criminal Investigation Diary
A fierce professional strongman, just the right mature love, a logical and ingenious case setting... But don't forget, humanistic care is what these professional dramas really want us to see.
In the post-Hong Kong drama era, care for every "little citizen" who is trying to live.
