It's been three days since the finale of the "Crime Hunting Atlas", but the audience's discussion of it has not stopped.
Especially after learning that the second season will be filmed in the future, the audience's expectations have reached the highest value.
To tell the most intuitive data, the total number of Weibo topics in "Crime Hunting Atlas" exceeds 5.04 billion+. From the plot to the starring role to the extended related topics, "Hunting Crime" proves with all beautiful achievements: there are still surprises to be expected on the road of domestic suspense dramas.
With little investment, low cost and no large flow of actors, it is precisely because of this that the dark horse trip of this suspense drama is particularly precious and more worthy of scrutiny.

Content is king
The play focuses on simulating a portrait master, a profession that is extremely meaningful in criminal investigation, but the outside world does not know much. The subject matter is unpopular, and the creation is naturally not simple.
Jia Dongyan, the chief screenwriter of "Hunting Crime", said that because there is no reference and no benchmarking work, the aesthetic style and tonality of the whole play must be explored by themselves.
"Originality is an adventure in the wilderness, and we're like kids with no maps, no navigation, just a compass. In a daze, he stepped forward and turned back, not knowing the way forward. Our compass is that sentence: twists and turns, eternal human nature. ”
After countless polishing and field trips in the early stages, they created the character of Shen Yi (the simulated portrait artist in the play, played by Tan Kenji), as well as ten cases based on true stories.
In addition to the positive feedback given by the audience' voices, "Hunting Crime Map" has also been recognized by "Detective Shenbi" Lin Yuhui. "In my more than two decades of career, 'Crime Hunting Atlas' is the first to speak for the profession of behind-the-scenes portrait. It combines simulated portraits and cases perfectly, and hopefully there will be more works like "Crime Hunting Atlas" in the future. ”
In addition to the simulated portraitist, the "Crime Hunting Atlas" also focuses on many hot social issues, such as appearance anxiety, school bullying, workplace discrimination, domestic violence, etc.
Architectural designer Jiang Ge, who gained a workplace advantage by changing his appearance through plastic surgery, became more dependent on beauty, but was violated by Liang Yi, a plastic surgery doctor with a human face and a heart. Not only her, Liang Yi violated almost every girl who came to him for plastic surgery. Those women who initially had a vision of beauty turned their lives around because of beauty. At the end of the story, Jiang Ge set up a bureau to poison Liang Yi, and the revenge was repaid, but the future was also ruined.
After listening to her original reasons for wanting plastic surgery, Shen Yi said, "You made me think of Marie Curie before, she was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and her achievements surpassed most of her contemporaries. She represents female power, and I see a similar power in your work, which comes from your talent and ambition, not your appearance, and I believe that the one who once was you will one day become an internationally renowned designer. "Not all outstanding people need a beautiful face, beauty is a blessing, but it is never a hypothesis that replaces it.
Another plot that I would like to talk about is domestic violence, which is also the part that the audience responds to the most.
When a woman confesses to murder for another woman, she is willing to be imprisoned for the rest of her life. You may imagine that they have reached some kind of deal, or have a kindness that is difficult to repay, but for Chen Qiuwen and Lu Ting, it is purely because: women, can understand women; women, can protect women.
Chen Qiuwen and Zhao Mingzhe were married for four years, during which time they suffered from the inhuman domestic violence of their husband. She tried to escape, but each time failed, and was then subjected to an even greater violence by her husband. Even if he finally escaped later, he always lived in the shadow of domestic violence. Later, she met Lu Ting. The latter is the next target of Zhao Mingzhe's domestic violence.
The painful memories of their bodies led them to reach a consensus, and they designed to attract Zhao Mingzhe, and Lu Ting killed the other party. But because Lu Ting was pregnant, Chen Qiuwen decided to take the blame for her. In the face of repeated interrogation by the police, Chen Qiuwen did not say Lu Ting's name, and insisted that she was the murderer.
If it were not for Zhao Mingzhe, their human physiology should be bright, not intersect in this desperate way. This drama once again tells us that domestic violence is only zero times and countless times, and in the face of domestic violence, the law is the best weapon for women.

Actors and characters accomplish each other
Four years ago on the stage of "I Am an Actor", it was the first intersection of Tan Kenji and Kim Se-jae. The result of that time was a disappointing return. In "Crime Hunting Atlas", they have become the tacit understanding of the audience's crime hunting partners. Tan Jianci plays the simulated portraitist Shen Yi, and Jin Shijia plays Du Cheng, the captain of the criminal police, who have a grudge because of a dusty old case, and because of a number of bizarre cases in tandem, they gradually establish a tacit understanding in the process of detection, and finally trust each other in both directions.
It is worth mentioning that when he participated in the show four years ago, Jia Dongyan, the chief screenwriter of "Crime Hunting Atlas", was also there, and Tan Kenji said that at that time, the screenwriting teacher had talked to him and had the opportunity to cooperate. This cooperation, the fate is on the one hand, on the other hand, Tan Jianci and Shen Yi's temperament is really too compatible. "They think I feel very warm, but in fact, inside, for example, on the stage, I am very crazy, the contrast is relatively large, and it fits the role very well." In the play, Shen Yi spent seven years, from untamed to quiet. The contrast is great, but also the contrast is strong.
For Tan Jianji, Shen Yi is an opportunity for the audience to see him, and it is also a closed area for him in a short period of time. In a later interview, he mentioned that the period of filming was a sad period in his life. Shen Yi's appearance just made him forget all this, "When I read and started shooting, when I entered this character, I forgot about it, and I was very happy, immersed in that role, immersed in the set." Then after shouting, I began to be in pain again, and quickly asked when to start shooting. ”
He was fascinated by Shen Yi's mystery, and thus inspired the insight of the actors. For Shen Yi's superb ability to simulate portraits, he put it into a focused charm. "I think focus is the best design. For the portrait painter, he needs to capture every bit of the presenter or the person, and the details that everyone will miss, what does he use to capture? I think there is only concentration. Only by listening very carefully to every word of the other person's every sentence, and even the emotions and micro-expressions that will arise in each word, can he capture the focus of the painting he is about to paint, rather than saying that I am going to design some of my body language, or telling the audience through my expression what I have captured him, and in what way I am using to show that I am different from theirs. I think the portrait painter is the same as all normal people, he's just more focused than they are. ”
For Jin Shijia, who puts the actor into the work, devotes himself to the work, and withdraws from the return at the end, he does not want everyone to see that the Du Cheng he plays is similar to the habitual police image, and for this reason, he even has no makeup at all. "This is also the reason why, except for the end, no one has ever seen Du Cheng wearing a regular police uniform."
For performance, Jin Shijia has his own "self-grasping", and it is this "I-persistence" that has shaped the unique Du Cheng. "If people say Jin Shijia is handsome, it won't make me very happy. But I would be happy if someone said he liked my performance, analyzed why I did a certain action, or interpreted the design points. I think that being an actor is the process of constantly finding a confidant. ”
Actors and characters achieve each other, Shen Yi and Du Cheng in the play have become one of the best suspense partners in the audience's hearts, and outside the play, tan Kenji and Jin Shijia's actor road will continue to be vast.
