"Gate of Rebirth" chased four episodes in a row, really not addictive, I dare say that this drama should be the biggest dark horse in this period of time, I was originally holding the attitude of trying it out, the previous "Rebirth" was actually quite disappointing, but "Gate of Rebirth" really surprised me.
If you want me to say a word to describe this drama, it is: the plot is compact and brain-burning, the reversal is continuous, the villain IQ is online throughout the whole process, I forgot to breathe, I have not seen a drama that does not treat the audience as a fool for a long time, it is no longer a plot of dog blood, a classic routine, this drama is a little something.
First, the theme is novel, and the suspense value is full
This should be the first criminal investigation network drama I saw with the theme of theft, the story unfolded, a famous painting "Water Lilies" in the art museum was lost, and the person who found the painting lost was Zhuang Wenjie, a law student at Qingcheng University.
How did a law student discover that a famous painting in an art museum was missing? This matter should start from Zhuang Wenjie's family background, "Water Lilies" in Zhuang Wenjie actually has a special fate, when she was young, her mother liked to copy this painting, after her mother's death, Zhuang Wenjie began to learn to paint "Water Lilies", before and after he has spent 17 pairs of "Water Lilies".
He often went to the art museum to see this painting, a look is a few hours, he knows the painting brush and painting order, for the details of the painting he seems to be engraved in his mind, precisely because he does not have the same feelings for this painting, he is also the police identified as the biggest suspect, because all the evidence at present all points to him.
As for the reason, we have to start from his family, Zhuang Wenjie's grandfather is a thief in the Republic of China period, his grandfather, his father are famous thieves, his father stole the famous ancient painting "Roselle" more than ten years ago, there was a car accident on the way to steal the painting, fell into the river, but did not see the body, more than ten years later, there is still no accurate information about his father.
And this time, his father's former friend suddenly appeared next to him, not only inquired about his affairs at school, but also blamed Zhuang Wenjie for stealing paintings, pushing Zhuang Wenjie directly in front of the police, seemingly framing, but in fact it was more like taking him to the road of crime, intentionally cultivating him to become a thief.
Second, the plot burns the brain and reverses continuously
At the beginning of the story, the background of the story is tiled, and many people find the content of the first episode not attractive enough, but the first episode really covers a lot of details, and these details are the key to understanding the plot behind.
Before watching this drama, I have some speculations of my own, Zhuang Wenjie was born in a family of thieves, the family situation should be particularly solid, but at the beginning of the plot is a reversal, Zhuang Wenjie's situation is not good, and it can even be said that it is a tragic word.
His mother died of illness, his father disappeared more than a decade ago, he was the only one in the family, and he had to earn his own tuition, because his grandfather and father were well-known thieves, and they grew up under the guidance and colored glasses of others. He also knew how much trouble he had to deal with, which made him unconsciously carry a layer of shackles.
Even in the face of qingmei bamboo horses and good friends, Zhuang Wenjie is indifferent to face, but his face is not cold, his concern is always hidden in the dark, to say a bad word, Zhuang Wenjie in addition to laughing, he actually knows anything.
In this case, the appearance of a policeman, so that Zhuang Wenjie's shackles are torn apart little by little, he is Luo Jian, a policeman image who speaks by evidence, if Luo Jian is blindly questioning Zhuang Wenjie, Zhuang Wenjie will not only not cooperate with the police, but also force himself into darkness because of the villain's steps.
The role of Luo Jian is very important, he gave him the hope of rebirth, he said: "What kind of person your father is does not mean what kind of person you are", "No matter what you have experienced in the past, the best way to get rid of the darkness completely is to try to put yourself on the side of the light".
Zhuang Wenjie has experienced a lot of dark times, and these words have actually healed him, because in Zhuang Wenjie's view, he and his father are not the same, otherwise he would not have chosen to give up his favorite paintings, and to study the law in the plot, there are actually many reversals, reversals again and again, really giving people a great surprise.
Third, the IQ of all employees is online, and there are many details
For a long time, there is no such sense of chasing the drama, the meaning is still unfinished, the rhythm of the episode is very strong, the logic and oppression of the story are just right, which fits the audience's desire to watch the drama, and the two sides test each other's wisdom and courage.
1. Enter the game
"Gate of Rebirth" is all details in this drama, "Water Lilies" This painting is actually not the most valuable in the art museum, why did the gang of thieves choose this pair? The purpose is to introduce Zhuang Wenjie into the game.
Zhuang Wenjie's house is full of paintings on the wall table, his mother likes water lilies, he used to sit on the table when he was a child and watch her mother copy, and he and "Water Lilies" actually have a special fate, on his birthday one year, an anonymous collector gave this painting to the art museum.
This painting has a special relationship with him, he understands "Water Lilies", he knows the subtleties of the real painting, and he can also identify the fake! The villain also knows that he likes it, so he deliberately steals the painting in order to get him into the game.
2. Planning
Zhuang Wenjie is one of the few people who know how to call the police to let the police listen to the dialogue to clear their suspicions, no longer the ultimate pull and tear, blindly reducing the wisdom to cooperate with the villain to suffer injustice.
Zhuang Wenjie knows how to clear his suspicions, and he knows what to do to fight for his own greatest interests. He is smart and does not put his fate in the hands of others, he wanders between black and white.
When Zhuang Wenjie went to the toilet, he saw Ding Wei who was going to the toilet, he hurriedly called luo Jian, a policeman played by Zhang Yi, to let the other side hear their conversation, wash away his disgust, and say a few words, Ding Wei found that his headphones were flashing, and he was about to arrest him, but he was very calm, secretly hung up the phone, and released Jay Chou's song, and cleverly opened the dual system of the mobile phone, concealing Ding Wei's inspection.
3. Be cautious
Zhuang Wenjie was a bit of a brain, he installed a small rope on the door, the purpose was to prevent the villain from sneaking in, he did not know, he knew any slight changes in the layout of his house.
There is a detail in the plot that when he sneaked into his house that day to hide the painting in the ceiling of his house, he did not rely on the protagonist's aura to accidentally hit and find it, but because of the movement of a water cup, the other two cups were placed in the cup handle directly behind the person, and the cup handle of one quilt deviated, moving about 45 degrees to the left. Relying on these subtle differences, he successfully found Ding Shenghuo's "Water Lilies" left in his home.
These are not accidental phenomena, he was taken to the garage by Ding Shenghuo, need to get back the "Water Lilies" in his hand, and at this time the "Water Lilies" has been sent to the police by Zhuang Wenjie, he was very nervous when he returned home, but he did not show anything unusual, because when he returned, he found that the keyhole of his house had changed, not as he was when he left, so he reacted quickly to re-lock it, giving Luo Jian, who was hiding the paintings at his house at that time, a chance to hide.
Supposedly, he would not have known where Luo Jian hid the painting, but when he went home to get the painting, he found that the tablecloth was passive, he guessed that the painting should still be hidden on the ceiling, and sure enough, he opened the tablecloth and found footprints that did not belong to him, and when he took the painting, he quietly moved his feet to rub the desktop and covered the traces left by the police with his own footprints.
"The Gate of Rebirth" these are the audience praise places, the plot is brain-burning twists, the high-tech means in the play are also very eye-catching, the pace is fast enough to fly, the villain IQ is online at any time, the anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, in the first four episodes, the villain changed seven cars before and after, and even in order to get rid of the tracking, he actually drove the car into the tail compartment of the truck, to make a makeover, which was really amazing.
Fourth, the texture is real, and Wang Junkai's acting skills are ridiculed by the group
The filter of "The Gate of Rebirth" is quite real, there is no excessive beauty, skin polishing plus filter, but through the high-definition lens to shoot the most real appearance of the actor, it is clear that the hair on the face is clear, in order to be more suitable for the character image, Wang Junkai even carried out skin blackening treatment.
Close-ups that focus on the actor's face can better show the actor's real acting ability, rather than relying on mysterious shots to show suspense.
Zhuang Wenjie, played by Wang Junkai, has a great eye play, body language is in place, emotional expression is very good, his pretense is calm, pretending to be strong, pretending to be calm, in fact, it is very in line with this person's setting, but placed in a pair of old drama bones, in fact, you can still see the difference.
Many people complained about Wang Junkai's acting skills, acting skills seem to be shortcomings in the heat, not very able to catch Zhang Yi and other old drama bones of the scene, the early stage of dubbing is also strange, his mouth is not open, but the voice is not matched with this feeling! From the passage where he and the experts studied the fake "Water Lilies" shouted loudly "I know... Street Painters" dubbing is obvious.
But Wang Junkai is actually still young, it can be seen that he is still willing to work hard, dare to challenge himself, do not deliberately play handsome, do not pursue the high value on the screen, dare to play ugly, plain face, the attitude is still good, has been much better than the general traffic star, compared to the previous drama, you can see that his acting skills are actually a lot of progress.
Write to the end
"The Gate of Rebirth" should be the first drama to respect the intelligence of the audience, the plot is compact and brain-burning, the logic is rigorous, there is no extra shot, the overall plot rhythm is fast and not delayed, but the few laugh points interspersed in the middle are quite good, very naturally there is no abrupt feeling, the acting skills of the old actors are beyond doubt, the villain IQ is fully online, no longer a brainless protagonist, and the strong showdown is a suspense drama worth watching.
The first episode of the editing rhythm and feeling are general, the rhythm of the two or three or four episodes is very compact, the perception is improved a lot, the suspense drama of the theft class is stolen through high technology, the thrill of the theft process, the subtle changes in the character action, and the magical use of high technology are all shown through the lens, which is really eye-opening.
For now, the four episodes of "The Gate of Rebirth" belong to the high open, I hope not to go low, the most important thing is to hope that the plot can hold the suspense given by the setting and trailer, and finally say it again, it is really good to look at, and the stake is not lost.
