As of the plot returning to the "present" in 2021, An Xin served as the deputy leader of the task force to open the decisive battle, and in the Kuyun live broadcast attention list, the attention of "Crazy" in the eight sets of CCTV directly soared to 2.2049, and 170,000+ people gave an average Douban high score of 9.1.
#Crazy is good-looking and stupid # has become a true portrayal of the audience's heart, and "Crazy" almost indiscriminately "captures" the aesthetics of audiences of all ages, regions, occupations, genders, hobbies and so on. Audiences in different circles burst into liver chasing dramas, and some people ran to official micro to actively "urge changes".

The rapid release of "Crazy" has fully boosted the morale of domestic dramas, so what are the demands of audiences in different circles for chasing dramas? What deep aesthetic psychology does "Crazy" satisfy? Let's break it down.
"Reasoning fans" look at a "puzzle" word
The plot tension is full, and the large and small suspense is superimposed
I privately think that the most significant viewing of "Crazy" comes from the multiple and effective interspersion of the timeline and plotline, which fills the plot tension. At the same time, the large and small suspense superimposed upgrade the highlights, which fully meets the aesthetics of reasoning drama fans.
First, the mysterious narrative breaks through the solidified aesthetic. "Crazy" is divided into three important time nodes in 2000, 2006 and 2021, with three time and space and multiple lines, constantly using flashbacks and interpolations, so that reality and memories are intertwined, and diversified narrative methods make the audience can't help but brainstorm together and participate in reasoning from time to time. In addition, the perspective of small characters in the big time, the tight fast pace of the whole process, and the plot advancement method that dares to write and speak out make the way of storytelling very "powerful", and every frame pokes the aesthetics of reasoning enthusiasts.
Secondly, the episodes are suspenseful and the logic is online. "Crazy" is very in line with the taste of reasoning fans, and the suspense that is constantly laid out in the play is expected to be almost "bursting", full of refreshment.
The suspense of the main line of "Crazy" has always whetted people's appetites - for example, how did Gao Qiqiang use 21 years to counterattack from a promising fish seller to a business tycoon who controls the dark world under Beijing? How did An Xin, who obviously appeared with the king's resources, go from a vigorous criminal police teenager to a gray-haired twilight uncle who exported "retirement" and "pension" with a mouthful? These questions continue to grip people, making the audience have a strong stickiness to watch the drama.
Not only that, but what is more absolute is that there are also small suspense worth remembering in the branch plots of each stage of "Crazy", so that the audience must always mention the spirit when chasing the drama, even reasoning fans dare not slack off for a moment.
How did Xiao Long, the arrogant and domineering market administrator at the beginning, reverse his social status with Gao Qiqiang and become a "knife brother" who is only subservient to the latter? Why was the killer shot in the back when he died? In the 2021 chapter, when Gao Qiqiang asked his stepson Gao Xiaochen to go home for a reunion dinner, Chen Shuting had passed away and became a black-and-white photo enshrined, what was the cause of her death? Netizens shouted "I don't have enough CPU".
It can be said that the superb narrative technique of "Crazy" has won countless reasoning fans for the series, and it also proves the hardcore viewing quality of the series.
I have to admit that every pre-buried suspense in "Crazy" will become a foreshadowing that catalyzes the progress of the plot, and the huge logical structure can make the audience understand silky in the subsequent progress, which is undoubtedly the cleverness of the creative team.
Withstands the eightfold mirror of "detail control"
There are surprises everywhere in the characters, shapes, scenes, and lines
"Detail Control" is keen on the "Crazy" "can withstand the scrutiny of eight times the mirror" and "two brushes and three brushes can also have more surprises". Watching "Crazy" is hearty, we can always get surprises in casual details, even high-level "detail control" will be enjoyable.
In the play, the character design follows the trajectory of his life and constantly changes, even the villain is not a "bad guy" in the traditional sense, and the complex social environment and the changeability of human nature jointly contribute to the state of the characters at different stages of life.
Gao Qiqiang was sweating and chewing coffee as soon as he was nervous, witnessing Xu Lei's accidental death and being frightened to sleep, to tasting the sweetness of the fox fake tiger power in the name of An Xin, and then gradually swelling and ruthless after Uncle Tai took the throne, and finally sitting on the Qiangsheng Group's empty eyes and rampant, and the character's behavior and expression are highly consistent with his inner fission.
The details of the styling design are full of prophecy.
Young An Xin has light in his eyes, a sincere smile on his face, full of vitality, 21 years of struggle with the underworld and evil forces continue to rise and fall, writing report materials again and again stone sinks into the sea, faith has been repeatedly suppressed, he finally became a lone brave who gave up family and friendship love.
With white hair, crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, a hunched back, carrying a heavy schoolbag everywhere he goes, learning to handle things smoothly and pretending to be dormant.
Until he was included in the guidance group and regained the hope of supporting justice, he took off his wrinkled coat and changed into a majestic police uniform, and we clearly saw the long-lost spark in the eyes of the characters. It can be said that the meticulous polishing of the modeling design greatly adds points to the portrayal of the characters.
There are also people who grasp the details from the poster shape changes of Gao Qiqiang's three stages of life, the whites of the characters' eyes gradually disappear, and the obvious signs of "blackening" predict that he will go all the way to the black and will eventually be swallowed by his inner desires.
And his body language posture from tense defense to stretching, from bowing his head carefully to looking down at all living beings after ascending, Gao Qiqiang's various shape changes point to his gradually out of control mentality and greed for power.
The clever echo of the scene and the fate of the characters makes the series warm and tearful.
An Xin and Gao Qilan have eaten dumplings twice, once at the Chinese New Year's Eve they first met 21 years ago, Gao Qilan and Gao Qisheng sent dumplings to Gao Qiqiang in detention, An Xin upheld justice and benevolence, and arranged a different Chinese New Year's Eve meal for the three brothers and sisters.
The second time, it was An Xin who invited Gao Qilan to eat dumplings and persuaded her to keep her distance from her brother, and the scene that echoed before and after changed was time, and what did not change was the original intention. Among them, there is not only Gao Qilan's secret love for An Xin at first sight for 21 years, but also An Xin's original professional intention of always upholding justice and persuading people to be good.
At the same time, dumplings have a profound meaning in traditional Chinese culture, symbolizing reunion and the good hope of good luck at the turn of the year, which shows the heavy emotions expressed in this detail group.
For example, there are many scenes in the play where Lao Mo eats a lollipop, but the mood of the characters is like riding a roller coaster, and "Lollipop" assists the character shaping well. At first, in order to invite people's hearts, Gao Qiqiang let Lao Mo eat candy, giving him the beautiful illusion of regaining a new life after he was released from prison. Later, Li Youtian, the director of Lao Mo Killing Village, and Cheng Chengshi of the Construction Engineering Group were also eating sugar, and their ruthless behavior contrasted sharply with the sweet and naïve image of lollipops.
What's more frightening is that when Lao Mo finally broke with his benefactor An Xin because he was blackmailed by Gao Qiqiang with his daughter, he sent the lollipop into his mouth with trembling hands on the rooftop, and the tragic color of the character's fate was gradually rendered.
It is hateful to kill innocents indiscriminately, but after he was released from prison, he clearly had the opportunity to become a good person, but he was constantly used and deprived of the only good in human nature by the cruelty of reality.
The grand life narrative is pinned on the vivid and down-to-earth details of eating sugar, giving people a sense of powerlessness and frustration in finding sugar to eat in the glass slag of reality. The advanced creative approach of "Crazy" with details can be seen.
The props precisely create a sense of immersion in the times.
From "big-headed" TVs to ultra-thin LCD screens, the rise and fall of PHS, the change of straight flip smart phone scan code payment, and the improvement of the pixels of public security monitoring screens have given the story spanning 21 years a realistic texture. There is also the "Gao" engraved in the aluminum lunch box when Gao Qiqiang's younger brothers and sisters visit, and the god Gao Qiqiang worshipped at home is Sun Wukong, and the sense of era and regional substitution suddenly appeared.
Many seemingly insignificant props can find the fulcrum in the subsequent shots, which is terrifying to think about. Gao Qiqiang invited the master calligraphy to his home and wrote down the four big characters of "Servant of the People", we originally thought that this was the nouveau riche in the vassal style, who knows that in the second half of the episode, this painting was framed and hung in the living room of the nursing home where the retired old leader Huang Lao lived.
A tiny detail is enough to prove from the side that Gao Qiqiang's painstaking drilling camp for all kinds of relationships in the upper line, and the huge network of people, money, and influence he weaves firmly holds Jinghai between the palms.
The lines are unclear.
"The fish tonight is a little big, I don't know if we can put this net down", "There is only one way, bluff, to fake the truth", "Tell Lao Mo that I want to eat fish", "I'm afraid of wind and waves?" You forgot that I used to sell fish", "When it rains, water will come into the house"... As netizens commented, "The Jinghai language system comes with subtext conversion, and the attitudes and ideas of both the good and evil factions are hidden in this unobtrusive spoken language, and the immersive feeling is there." ”
Material matching assistance to achieve in-depth interpretation.
In order to dig up treasures, many detail parties run to the official to inventory materials, and want to know more, and ensure that they are high-quality and do not spoil, "holding themselves back". Some netizens commented, "I don't have enough rank, many subtext can't be understood, with the translation of @CCTV TV series official micro, Mao Sei suddenly opened!" I feel that after this year, I can understand the hints of some leaders when I return to the workplace~"
The full cast is powerful
A carnival dream paradise for "acting idiots"
"Acting idiot" is keen on the strength of the full cast of the actors of "Crazy", the high-quality one-man drama and opponent scene in the play are extremely high, and the "immortal fight" between the old drama bones, "old with new" often rubs out blood sparks, which makes people can't help but applaud.
If Zhang Yi's leg shaking and roaring in the scene of being hung and beaten can only be regarded as the "normal play" of the master's performance, then a series of ceiling-level rivalry scenes between him and Zhang Songwen, each of which can be called the acting frenzy of the master's tricks between the kings.
For example, the famous scene of the "police cordon" that has just dominated the hot search, the two are separated on both sides of the police cordon, Zhang Yijin and Zhang Songwen retreat, do not need too many lines, from the contest of body language and micro-expressions, the moving tension pours down. Both actors bear the test of the camera's straight face.
There is also a turning point where the relationship between An Xin and Gao Qiqiang has cracks for the first time, and the scene is also wonderful. Gao Qiqiang had just been cleaned up by Chen Shuting, and he was talking with An Xin in a dimly lit alley, and the seemingly relaxed scene was actually full of tension. Zhang Songwen knocked on the melon seeds and told himself not to exceed three, in order not to interrupt Zhang Yi's lines, showing the precise rhythm of the performance.
The audience is constantly looking forward to more surprises from the "two cards". Gao Qiqiang learned that An Xin was going to join the guidance group and set up a banquet for the latter, trying to "buy" An Xin with the feelings of his sister Gao Qilan. The setting that both of them take out medicine to eat before opening the meal is also too in line with the real life of middle-aged people.
They constantly wrestled in the small talk of pushing cups and changing lamps, every smile and pause tested the strength of the actors, seemingly full of fireworks but actually the ultimate pull, the dark tide is turbulent.
Not only the two male protagonists, but also the coolness of "Crazy" comes from the full cast of actors, everyone has contributed an excellent acting experience to the audience, allowing us to fully feel what "no small roles, only small actors" are.
The scene where Uncle Tai (played by Ni Dahong) and Li Youtian (played by Han Tongsheng) meet perfectly interprets the aura of the old drama. An old scheming, sinister and cunning, a cunning philistine, good at disguise, Li Youtian pretended to stumble and panic, but did not escape Uncle Tai's shrewd eyes like an old fox. One by one, it shows the background of the acting skills of the old drama bones.
Chen Shuting (played by Gao Ye) saw Gao Qiqiang for the first time, and used a belt to strangle Gao Qiqiang's neck and slap him, these performance designs that evoke a little "ambiguous" association skillfully promoted the emotional logic of the two and laid the foundation for their marriage in the future. This setting also makes the deep feelings that Gao Qiqiang said "she is my first love" real and credible, and injects soul into the characters.
Every character in "Crazy" has a character arc under the control of the actor, becoming three-dimensional and vivid. Li Hongwei (played by Aruna) humiliated Gao Qisheng (played by Su Xiaoyue), and the sentence "You are a smelly fish seller" brought himself the scourge of killing.
Gao Qisheng deliberately used frozen fish to kill Li Hongwei at the scrapyard, chasing madly, and brutally slashing the murder weapon, Su Xiaoyi exposed Gao Qisheng's distorted dark psychology through body language and the gradually out of control human nature of drug traffickers.
A netizen's chasing state represents the voice of many "crazy fans": "#crazy #I have begun to brush 2, Li Xianggao Qisheng has not seen enough to go back and watch it again, from today onwards, Brother Xin was knifed for 26 episodes and finally went online, Brother Qiang is watching one episode less, cherish ah, this is a popular drama, the whole people are watching it, even Gao Qisheng Mazi crazy donkey sister-in-law Lao Mo supporting role is on fire."
Of course, the crowd conquered by "Crazy" is not limited to the above. It can be said that this drama is not a loss in shares, and it meets the tricky aesthetics of audiences in various circles from different perspectives.
Since then, pig's foot noodles, intestinal flour, and "old silent fish" have been added to the foodies' food list; Game lovers meet up with childhood playmates to relive the beautiful childhood of "playing big"; The girls learned from Chen Shuting that adult love can not only be a compromise of "wanting to find a father for the child", but also finding a partner is putting together a "puzzle" for their better life; Comedy lovers have long been paralyzed in the pun of An Xin's "try your sister" and the shock of Gao Qiqiang being "touched and killed" by the motorcycle girl.
The ultimate experience of watching "Crazy" far exceeds the imagination of many people. From a deeper value point of view, "Crazy" has created a new benchmark for anti-black rule of law dramas, opened up breakthrough creative ideas for the industry, and comprehensively boosted the audience's expectations for Chinese TV dramas. The finale is coming, pay attention to the CCTV-8 golden strong file, the "Jinghai Group Portrait" of the good and evil decisive battle, we wait and see.
