Deng Jiajia, Zhang Xincheng starred in the "Cloister Pavilion" made the audience's expectations increase sharply, but after the launch of the work reputation appeared obvious polarization, suspense drama queen Deng Jiajia did not continue to hand over such high-quality plays as "Undocumented Crimes", it is difficult not to question her vision of choosing dramas.
I thought that this was just Deng Jiajia's occasional selection mistakes, but I didn't expect that after the launch of "Babel Tower" starring Qin Junjie, there was no desire to watch it, not only that, the reputation of the first broadcast of the play was low, and from the quality point of view, it was even inferior to "Cloister Pavilion".
Suspense-themed plays have always been popular, and new dramas have been launched one after another, but most of the word-of-mouth responses have been mediocre, and a large part of them have a lack of suspense, forcibly using reversals to promote the development of the plot, and the problem of logic not being online, "Babel Tower" is almost a large collection of these problems, from the perspective of the updated plot, there are 3 problems that cannot be ignored.
First, force the creation of suspense, suspense drama into a divine drama
The story line supported by Deng Jiajia is separated from the main line in the early stage, in addition to a certain intersection with the female boss of the company who is almost a victim, it has always been a separate story line, and Cui Shan, played by Deng Jiajia, talked with the owner of the hotel as soon as he appeared, and it can be clearly seen that there is a connection between the two, and it is even likely that there is an emotional intersection.
But Deng Jiajia's story line is only as an introduction to the beginning or end of each episode, the purpose is naturally to create suspense, but through the plot of the first few episodes, this story line is very redundant, and there are problems with logic, such as Cui Shan, who is deeply troubled by the men in black, the previous episode is still extremely worried, and the next episode does not care at all when the lights are turned on when he goes home.
After entering the formal main plot, "Babel Tower", like most suspense works, is the first to throw out a bizarre case, a female anchor was killed, before she was killed, the murderer made a 1:1 silicone model, and even the wounds were exactly the same as the wounds on the dead female anchors.
Similar cases immediately occurred, the next victim became the male protagonist has been in love for ten years but has not been married to the girlfriend's sister, coincidentally, on the day of the girlfriend's father's sacrifice, and the next victim xue sister met with an accident, this use of coincidence to promote the development of the plot, is undoubtedly forced to create suspense, has led to the lack of suspense.
Not only that, the play also made a lot of preparation in the early stage, almost can already guess that the male protagonist's girlfriend will be victimized, especially at the scene of the arrest of criminal suspects, the male protagonist's girlfriend appears in a police uniform, which seems to be somewhat deliberate.
"Babel Tower" uses multiple cases to try to enhance the suspense of the play, but the cases thrown out are not enough to attract the audience, it is completely like making things up.
The suspense drama gradually filmed the taste of the divine drama, the male protagonist and his party also staged a "Fast and Furious" drama in the process of handling the case, the male protagonist not only stood firmly on the high-speed car, but also jumped onto the container, and finally forced the vehicle to stop, seeing this plot must have dissuaded many viewers.
The key is that the design of these plots is only to highlight the characters, and has no practical effect, as for why the mobile phone appears on the truck, the truck driver is not a suspect and why he does not listen to the warnings of the police, saying that he will not stop anything, it can be said that the early plot of "Babel Tower" has no logic at all.
Second, the length of the water
Nowadays, the suspense dramas launched in the national drama market are often not large, this kind of short and concise plot can directly avoid the injection of water into the drama, "Babel Tower" has a total of 30 episodes, but how to look at the early too nagging literary drama has the suspicion of water length.
For example, when pursuing a suspect, multiple police rounded up a person, almost determined the location of the suspect, but how can not catch, the process of arrest alone took nearly half a set of time, and finally the suspect disappeared, and found that the signal source is underwater.
In the process of handling the case, the newcomer female police officer is completely a silly white sweet posture, and the various worship of the male protagonist is obviously very serious to discuss the case clues, but it is necessary to join a newcomer female police officer's appreciation for the male protagonist, which is very superfluous.
In addition, there is also a depiction of the feelings between the male protagonist and his girlfriend is also lengthy and deliberate, both want to emphasize that the feelings between the two are very good, but also make the various behaviors of the male protagonist look irresponsible, and these preparations in the early stage are all aimed at making the male protagonist regret, so as to find the murderer.
There are also police rushing to eat instant noodles and holding potato chips for contemporary meals, no doubt to emphasize the hardships of the police profession, but in today's world where takeaway is so convenient, such a portrayal is really outdated.
Third, the starring acting skills are not qualified
Although the cast of "Babel Tower" cannot be called the top match of the suspense drama, but all of them are recognized by the audience as a strong faction, although Deng Jiajia's story line makes people look confused, but the sense of fragmentation and the nervous tension that is deeply troubled by her body can make people feel a sense of substitution.
The real controversy is the male protagonist Qin Junjie, giving people the intuitive feeling that it is excessive, when the role appears, the captain played by Qin Junjie is all kinds of squeezed eyebrows and deep eyes, and when he inspects the crime scene, he sees that there is important physical evidence by the river, and Qin Junjie's interpretation is to stare at the eyes and show a shocked posture.
It can be seen that Qin Junjie desperately wants to create a police image that does not say much, but has strong ability, like a detective, but the excessive facial expression makes him look quite a bit like X.
In the process of pursuing the suspect, Qin Junjie's eyes and state are also obviously able to make people see that he is different from the people around him, staring at the suspect like a torch, and it is difficult not to hit the grass and snake with such an expression alone.
Even if he looked at the clues in the process of eating, Qin Junjie's eyes widened unnaturally, as if he had already seen the suspect through the clues on the wall.
The most test of acting skills is the series of reactions of the captain played by Qin Junjie after knowing that his girlfriend was killed, which should have been sad and painful, but from Qin Junjie's eyes, he could not see any emotions related to it, even when pushing his girlfriend's body out of the ward, he could not feel the blow of this matter to him at all, but more like in a daze.
The output of domestic suspense dramas is very impressive, but the overall level is delayed, the three major problems in "Babel Tower" are also the old problems that many domestic suspense dramas often make, and they have encountered countless bad reviews just after they started broadcasting, and it is almost impossible to turn over against the wind from the production level of the first few episodes.
