Republic of China drama, in the domestic drama has always been a very special status.
Compared with costume dramas and modern dramas, Republic of China dramas belong to the category that started late, but because of their special background relationship, many stories that are not easy to tell at the moment can be put into the background of the Republic of China, so the genre is extremely rich.
In 2020 alone, the Republic of China drama has produced many high-scoring dramas, such as "Blood Together" 7.3 points, "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" 8.1 points, "Republic of China Detective" 7.2 points, "Qipao Beauty Detective" 6.9 points.
Among them, the highlight of the Republic of China Detective Light Comedy is the most eye-catching, take the "unremarkable" "Republic of China Strange Detective", there was no heat before the start of broadcasting, and I did not expect to be "really fragrant" after broadcasting.
During the broadcast of the episode, the popularity value of the station exceeded 7800, ranking first in the Popularity List of Maoyan Network Dramas in March, ranking in the top three in the major data lists, and the number of Weibo topics read exceeded 1.8 billion, and the proper popularity and word-of-mouth double harvest.
When we thought that the Republic of China suspense detective drama could only take the light comedy route, there was a drama that came out of nowhere, and its appearance was only to illustrate one point:
As long as the script is in place, even if it is not curious or funny, the Republic of China drama that honestly takes serious investigation can produce fine products.
Detective Quotes
"Detective Quotes" is a Republic of China detective drama directed by Wen Deguang, written by newcomer screenwriter Wang Yaokang, starring Gao Zhiting, Zhang Xin, Wang Takizheng and Qu Gaogao, and starring Liu Yijun, Jin Shijie and Wang Takizheng.
Set against the backdrop of Tianjin Wei in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the drama tells the legendary story of Tan Burton (Gao Zhiting), a new police officer of the Tianjin Police Office in the early 1911 Xinhai Revolution, and his partners to uncover the fog and solve a series of strange and strange cases.
Because of the lack of traffic and the joining of well-known actors, the situation of this drama is the same as that of the original "Strange Detective of the Republic of China", and the drama is basically in the state of "no one to check" at the beginning of the release.
However, as the saying goes, "the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley".
"Detective Quotes" was launched on October 25, the whole drama has a total of 24 episodes, currently updated 8 episodes, just 2 days, the popularity has risen by 5 places, has successfully ranked seventh in the popularity list.
Flip through the Douban review, although there is no score yet, but the short review and long reviews are mostly 4 stars and 5 stars, and it is estimated that the opening score can be around 8 points.
Well, without further ado, let's talk.
At the beginning of the series, in 1891, in Fuyuan County, outside Tianjin, a group of children were playing hide-and-seek in the woods, looking for them, but their companions did not find them, but found 12 corpses in a large tree.
The bodies belonged to young dart masters who were robbed of darts in the course of their darts, and none of the 12 survived, and the heads of the corpses were cut off and placed under a tree.
The county magistrate had no clue about the case, so someone proposed that their heads and bodies be stitched together, and then Feng Wanjiang, who was proficient in magic, would be found to sacrifice these people to life.
Unexpectedly, on the night of the sacrifice, these dead dart masters were actually "resurrected", but when the county beggar asked who was the hand of them, the picture ended abruptly.
Obviously, just by opening such a short paragraph, you can find that "Detective Quotes" can be described as a hard effort in creating a sense of suspense.
Whether it's the eerie feeling of crows on a tree full of corpses, or the right camera switch, it makes us sweat and stand upside down in an instant.
Then, decades later, the story officially began.
At a time when the regime in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic of China were in turmoil, the officers and soldiers were like bandits, the people were numb, and a riot of people snatching grain had just occurred in Tianjin Wei, while Gao Dutong was running a birthday feast in a big way at this moment.
On the night of the banquet, the joint lieutenant of the staff who had been undercover at Gao Dutong's side decided to assassinate him.
Unexpectedly, on the way to escape, he bumped into Tan Burton, a first-level police officer of the male police office, and in a panic, the staff leader was killed, and the incident ended.
But the Assassination of Du tong is not simple.
On the surface, this is the undercover staff leader who intends to assassinate Du Tong, and was accidentally killed when he stepped on a foot nail when he escaped.
But in fact, Du Tong was not injured by the shooting of the staff leader, because the muzzle of his gun between the neck of the male protagonist was cold, and it was impossible to shoot Du Tong a few minutes ago.
Since the commander-in-chief shot and wounded, who would it be?
According to the analysis of the scene situation, Tan Burton quickly found a flaw, which was actually injured by the "companion" lieutenant of the staff leader.
The two originally planned to assassinate Du Tong by using the method of "transferring flowers and trees", but the lieutenant turned back to the water, thinking that as long as he solved the problem of the staff leader, he could hide his undercover identity, and he could also be promoted to a knight all the way because he saved Du Tong.
Here, with all the physical evidence, the people who shot and shot were finally found.
But on the other side of the capital, there was another accident, this time, The capital was really assassinated, he was smeared on the bed, and he died.
The murderer's methods are clean and neat, although he was shot in the arm when he escaped, he still escaped.
Here, Tamburton fell ill on the way home, because of the trauma he suffered in his childhood, he suffered from a split personality, and his master personality is what he usually looks like, an upright and kind policeman.
However, the second personality, Tan Ii, was originally created to protect him, and his ability is better in all aspects, especially the ability to solve cases.
This setting can refer to the dragon kui with two red and blue faces in "Immortal Sword III", and the "Seven Me" of Zhang Yishan's remake of the Korean drama "kill me heal me".
Unexpectedly, domestic dramas are really playing more and more.
The double male protagonist setting is no longer enough to meet our tastes, "Detective Quotes" is a male protagonist double personality setting, there is no need to solve the case partner, you can solve the case with yourself.
However, in this way, the image of the male protagonist becomes plump, both good and evil, super feeling. (The previous name of this drama was "Fen Shen", and Lao Meng thought that the name of this drama was not changed well)
Every time Tan Er appeared in the mirror, the evil qi with cleverness and energy was really very attractive, so as to look forward to the development of the situation between him and Tan Burton in the later stage.
In order to prevent Tan Er from running out and occupying his body, Tan Burton uses drugs every day to control, and it is precisely because of Tan Er's existence that Tan Burton cannot open his heart and the heroine, and his green plum bamboo horse Luo Jiazhen shows his heart.
Just at this time, a series of murders occurred in Fuyuan County, a far suburb of Tianjin Wei, and the county's ability was limited, and it requested the assistance of the police office.
So in order to escape the engagement party with Jia Zhen, Tamburton applied to go to investigate the case, and together with him, he also had his good friend and partner, and took on the role of Lao Pan.
On the night of departure, they encountered heavy rain, their trip was blocked, and they had to settle down at an inn.
At this time, Jia Zhen caught up with him, not only booking the room for Tan Burton and Old Pan in advance, but also preparing wine and dishes to wait.
Here to say about the heroine, the heroine Jia Zhen and the general heroine is different, the rare value of the face VALUE IQ force value are online, in the play she should be brave when brave, the beauty of the time, the time of sassy, but also to Tan Burton to do self-defense props, occasionally can also find small loopholes in the case, simply not too perfect.
Unfortunately, the inn was not peaceful that night.
The two brothers dou da dog and dou er dog who came to settle down suffered an accident during their deep sleep, and the second dog was killed and died tragically, and what is even more bizarre is that according to the big dog's account, he personally saw the second dog stab himself several times.
There are only two big dogs and two dogs on the scene, but the big dog usually loves his brother, and it is impossible to be unfavorable to the two dogs, the only possibility is that the two have just earned hundreds of silver tickets in business.
The case of the two dogs here has not yet been decided, that night, the big dog was also found lying in the room, and the scene situation is exactly the same as that of the two dogs, and even the scene of suicide is exactly the same.
Is it really evil?
As a new policeman, Tamburton will certainly not believe such ghosts and gods, and what the truth is, it is left to you to find the answer in the play.
I have to say that "Detective Quotes" is a must in the creation of a suspenseful atmosphere, the shaping of character traits, and the orchestration of cases, and there is no pressure to brush 8 episodes in one breath.
The series begins with a seemingly unrelated serial murder case, interspersed with the murder of the male protagonist, followed by the investigation of the tower crash case is the accidental murder of two brothers, and there is the tower fall case.
In the 4 cases that have appeared so far, there is a hidden line running through, and the case of the murder of the dart master decades ago brought out Feng Wanjiang, and then the case of the falling tower also appeared Feng Wanjiang's message.
The object of the message is the Song family in Fuyuan County, the third young master of the Song family is the real murderer of the Du Tong case, and at the same time, the protagonist of the murder of the two brothers they met at the inn, the two brothers of the Dou family, are relatives of the old housekeeper of Dou in Fuyuan County, and the innkeeper and the boss lady who started to solve the problem of Dou's big dog were instructed.
All of a sudden, several cases were connected. This kind of serial case, the setting of the case within the case, I believe that friends who like suspense reasoning have no resistance at all.
Also, in addition to the first episode, the beginning of each subsequent episode has a short recall of the experience of the male protagonist Tamburton as a child, and this line is estimated to be another hidden line of the whole series.
(The acting skills of the young actors are also great)
It is more worth saying that for the reasoning part of the case, there is a reasonable reversal and a thought-provoking kernel, that is, the perception that the case will not have loopholes under careful consideration, it seems that it is indeed very enjoyable.
And the development of the case did not deliberately pursue a fast pace, but steadily filled in the reasoning, which is indeed praiseworthy.
In addition to the case, the play also makes a little article on the position of the characters, because the story is located in a special era background, so everyone looks more than as simple as it seems.
For example, Luo Yuding played by Liu Yijun, Song Chengmin played by Qu Gaogao, Feng Wanjiang played by Jin Shijie and Song Mingshan played by Wang Jinsong, they are not just an identity, although the times are dark, but they can also see the light hidden in the darkness.
In addition, the series is also very textured in the composition of the picture and the use of light and shadow, and it is true that the director who has filmed "Yanxi Raiders" still has two brushes on the composition of light and shadow.
"Detective Quotes", it's time to fire!
