For a long time, suspense-themed film and television dramas have always been loved by audiences, but in contrast, works of this genre are also the most difficult to produce high-quality works. In this year's summer season, the suspense drama is also one after another.
In June, Deng Jiajia's two suspense dramas "Cloister Pavilion" and "Babel Tower" were broadcast successively, although the initial popularity was not low, but in the end it did not seem to be able to set off a big wave.
In July, the series "Out of court" starring Xia Yu, Luo Jin, Wan Qian and others was launched, and with its brain-burning plot and strong lineup, it attracted the attention of many netizens for a while.
In August, the Republic of China adventure drama "Trek Kunlun Ruins" starring Xu Kai, Zhong Chuxi, Wang Yang, Bao Bell and others was a hit, the plot was thrilling and tense, the starring appearance was online, and the results on the day of the premiere were also quite good.
The youth suspense short drama "Coward", directed by Zhang Xiaobo and starring Ou Hao and Wang Yanhui, has just been launched, and the audience response is still good.
On August 10, the suspense drama "The Great Detective of the Republic of China" starring Hu Yiyi, Zhang Yunlong and Zhang Xinyu will also officially meet with the audience.
Judging from the current official publicity information, this drama mainly has 3 major points to watch.
01 Double male protagonist setting, career love grasps with both hands, and the plot is attractive
The drama "The Great Detective of the Republic of China" tells that Situ Yan was originally a lawyer, and after being dismissed from his post, he went to Harbin to become a detective.
One suspenseful case after another followed, Situ Yan met the rich young master Luo Shaochuan in the process of investigation, and Zhou Mowan, who dared to love and dare to hate, and the three of them joined forces to solve the case.
This drama still adopts the setting of the double male protagonist, Situ Yan lost his job because he adhered to the legal theory, and came to Harbin in desperation, but he still has justice, courage and strategy, and fully demonstrates his professionalism and wisdom in various difficult cases.
Luo Shaochuan is a righteous and straightforward police detective, and in the process of partnering with Situ Yan, the two people are also a pair of living treasures, and the laughter is continuous.
In Harbin, Situ Yan not only met good brothers, but also met and knew Zhou Mowan, who had a free personality and went straight. The love career has been harvested, and Situ Yan's life is really enviable.
In addition, according to the trailer, the drama tells a total of eight cases, namely the Murder of the Orient Express, the Murder of the Richest Manor, the Haunted Haunting Case of the Girls' School, the Poisoning of Fried Sauce Pasta, the Murder of the Rich Man, the Kidnapping of the Japanese Consul, the Serial Murder of snowy Night, and the Disappearance of Two-Faced Lovers.
8 major cases and 8 wonderful, and the whole drama is only 24 episodes, presumably the plot rhythm must be very fast, netizens call it too attractive.
02 Zhang Xinyu joined in surprise, and the lineup is worth looking forward to
The two male protagonists of this drama, Hu Dayi and Zhang Yunlong, this time is also the second time the two play. As early as two years ago, in the Republic of China light comedy detective drama "Strange Detective of the Republic of China", the two have already partnered.
"The Strange Detective of the Republic of China" is about Shanghai during the Republic of China period, lu Yao, a clumsy prince who returned from studying in the United Kingdom, with a super high IQ and strong reasoning ability, so he was invited by Qiao Chusheng, the inspector of the patrol house with extraordinary skills, to be a detective consultant.
Later, Lu Yao and Qiao Chusheng met with female reporter Bai Youning, and the three of them formed a detective squad to solve one seemingly strange murder case after another.
At first glance, the drama "The Great Detective of the Republic of China" and "The Strange Detective of the Republic of China" are very similar, the same is the Republic of China period, the same detective drama, the same double male protagonist, the same Zhang Yunlong and Hu Day.
Therefore, many people say that "The Great Detective of the Republic of China" is the sequel to "The Strange Detective of the Republic of China", but in fact, there is still a difference between the two, whether it is the role positioning or the plot setting, there are obvious differences.
The reason why it is said that the original team returns is because in addition to Hu Yiyi and Zhang Yunlong, the director of this drama, Zhang Weike, is also the director of "The Strange Detective of the Republic of China". In this way, the tacit understanding between the actor and the director must not be bad.
Situ Yan's actor Hu Day is the best among the current young actors.
In 2016, Hu Yi starred in the role of Ou Jun in the youth idol drama "Summer Solstice", but he did not receive widespread attention because of his weak sense of existence.
In 2017, the youth love drama "To Our Simple Little Beauty" was a hit, and this drama became popular with Hu Dayi and Shen Yue. Jiang Chen, a black and arrogant scholar, is cold and handsome, but he does not lose his gentleness, and for a time, Hu Dayi became a "model boyfriend" in the hearts of many netizens.
In 2019, the romance drama "Dear, Beloved" was broadcast, and Li Xianhuo, who played the overlord Han Shangyan, and Hu Day, who played Wu Bai, were also well received.
In 2020, the martial arts drama "Absolute Double Glory" co-starring Hu Day and Chen Zheyuan was launched, and hua Wufeng, who had a righteous heart, became another classic role of Hu Day.
Many people say that Hu Day is the ideal male protagonist of youth emotional dramas, Jiang Chen, Wu Bai, Sheng Huainan, Zheng Qian and so on.
In recent years, Hu Dayi has also begun his own transformation road, and Lu Yao in "The Strange Detective of the Republic of China" is the best proof. His acting skills are obvious to the audience, and they are also looking forward to Situ Yan's wonderful performance.
Luo Shaochuan's actor Zhang Yunlong, since his debut, has also produced many works, including "Different Beautiful Men", "Gardenia Blossoms", "Sudden Star Movement", "Thunder Warrior" and so on, but there seem to be not many characters that can be remembered.
After starring in "The Strange Detective of the Republic of China", more viewers remembered him.
This time Zhang Yunlong took Hu for a day, presumably the two must have run into each other very well. As can be seen from the trailer, the two play together very naturally and are full of points of view.
In this drama, the heroine Zhou Mowan is played by the military sister-in-law Zhang Xinyu. After marriage, Zhang Xinyu's reputation has risen sharply, and her career love has developed quite smoothly.
Before that, she starred in many works as supporting roles, and this time, she also provoked the beam. Zhou Mowan is a character who dares to love and hate, dashing and free, which is actually very similar to Zhang Xinyu's own personality. At present, her grasp of this role is still very accurate, looking forward to it!
In addition, this drama also has a declaration and the joining of Shen Yujie.
03 Classic novel adaptation, the quality of the script is hard enough
The play is based on Agatha Christie's novel Poirot the Great Detective, who has been called the "Queen of Detectives".
It is worth mentioning that on the basis of adaptation, this drama also incorporates a lot of local characteristics.
The polishing of the story, the design of the costume road, and the construction and restoration of the scene are the efforts of each main creator and actor for more than 100 days and nights.
Therefore, whether it is the quality of the script, or the plot story, or the starring lineup, the drama "The Great Detective of the Republic of China" has strong enough strength, and may become another hit in August! Look forward to it together.
