The national drama in 2023 is coming to an end, which theme is the most regrettable.
I think it's a costume detective drama.
is different from spy wars, new dramas with urban themes, and there are not many good dramas, and there are not many good dramas with costume detective themes, and there are still various ancient puppet dramas in the name of detectives from time to time, which come out to disgust the audience.
In the past two years, there seem to be only two masterpieces that can be regarded as masterpieces, "The Imperial Gift" and "Tang Dynasty Tricks", I believe that many viewers are like me, hoping that a decent costume detective drama will be broadcast to recast the glory of the past.
The most able to take on such a heavy responsibility in the drama to be broadcast is undoubtedly "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty".
Adapted from the novel of the same name by Dutch writer Gao Luopei, with a luxurious lineup of more than ten actors such as Zhang Jiayi, Zhang Ruoyun, and Zhou Yiwei, it is difficult to think about this one.
However, before "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" was broadcast, another drama came first.
"Song Ci Shaohualu" only aired five episodes, and won the first place on the station's hot list in one fell swoop, which is really strong.
It's really a dark horse costume drama that you've been looking forward to for two years.
Bizarre murders happen one after another, and the murderer is a ghost?
"I prefer to believe the testimony of the dead rather than the confessions of the living"
Unlike most costume detective dramas, which usually lead to the case after the protagonist appears on the stage, the story of "Song Ci Shaohualu" opens with the first case of the whole play: the Yangfu murder case.
The old man of Yang Mansion was stabbed several times and died tragically in the mansion, and the guys hurriedly reported to the official after discovering it, and the new arrester of Jianyang Mansion Song Ci (played by Sun Zeyuan) came to the scene to investigate the case.
After listening to the facts of the case and inspecting the traces of the scene, Song Ci found that the fatal wound on the deceased's body was only the knife inserted in the heart, and if it was the death of Master Yang caused by the split of the heart artery, it was impossible that there were no spurting blood stains at the scene.
After carefully checking the state of the corpse, Song Ci judged that Master Yang was poisoned and killed and then stabbed several times, and the murderer disguised the scene as a robbery to mislead others.
And the person who is most likely to poison Master Yang must be the person around him, that is, the guy who reported the crime.
Song Ci has no conclusive evidence and can only deceive, the guy has a ghost in his heart, so he really jumps into the trap, and the truth is revealed.
However, Master Yang's death was just an introduction, which tightly intertwined Song Ci with the case, and the next three murders followed.
Three murders, one more bizarre than the other.
First, Tian Yuanwai (Gong Shoulin) got out of the boat, and his subordinates suddenly saw a female ghost in red by the river, and before they could recover their senses, they only heard a miserable scream from Tian Yuanwai in the cabin, and when his men rushed to the cabin, Tian Yuanwai was already in a different place.
The case was unsolved, people were panicked, and rumors spread that it was said that the female ghost in red was once a concubine who had not passed through the door outside the field, and committed suicide by jumping into the river because she didn't want to marry the field.
But where did Song Ci believe in any ghosts and gods, and when he had no clue, the second murder case came again.
The prison guards talked about the female ghost while chatting, and it happened that the cell door was opened, and it was the protagonist of their words who walked in, and the two fainted in fright, and when they woke up, a prisoner in the prison was nowhere to be found.
难不成这真是鬼做的？宋慈当然不信。
However, when the female ghost committed the murder for the third time, she was seen, and the deceased this time was none other than Song Ci's friend Meng Hesheng (Cheng Yicheng)
The plot progresses in an orderly manner, with every new case occurring, new clues appear, and each episode leaves a hook that hooks the audience to want to keep watching.
In the mysteries carefully laid by the murderer, can Song Ci find out the truth? No spoilers, leave it to everyone to see.
The story of "Song Ci Shaohualu" opens compactly, catches people's attention, and the dark lines and foreshadowing unfold slowly, bringing the audience the thrill of immersive detective.
The newcomer took the lead and exceeded expectations
Although the cast of this play is not luxurious, there are not many big names in the original "Tang Dynasty Legends", and the victory lies in the actors "performing their duties". "Song Ci Shaohualu" gives the audience the feeling that it is comfortable, and the actors' appearance and acting skills are both online.
The first place, Sun Zeyuan.
Like most viewers, I was unfamiliar with the name, but his performance in the new show far exceeded my expectations.
Song Ci played by Sun Zeyuan is the protagonist of the whole play, because of his talent and interest in detectives, he does not hesitate to invent various "artifacts" that can detect cases with foreign debts.
This character has its own secondary attributes, and when he appeared on the stage with a beard and pretended to be an official, he was completely like a hairy boy, but when it came to handling cases, he was at ease and confident, so that people would not get bored when they saw it.
However, the highlights of the characters are still to come, how to solve the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty is the biggest highlight of the whole play, and next, it depends on Sun Zeyuan's play.
second place, Dong Xuan.
The audience knows that Dong Xuan is very beautiful, but she has always been regarded as a "vase" actor, in fact, her acting skills have not been weak.
Especially in the past few years, Dong Xuan has shot repeatedly and began to show his acting skills, there are many works broadcast this year alone, but in the new drama, Dong Xuan broke through himself again.
Song Qing played by Dong Xuan is the sister of the male protagonist, and the personalities of these sisters and brothers are the same, the same neuroticism. When Dong Xuan shouted the sentence "Our Song family has a queen" at the top of his voice, I couldn't hold back my laughter in front of the screen.
In the subsequent plot, Dong Xuan continued to continue the funny performance style, bringing laughter when he opened his mouth, it was completely a funny female possession, and the role was played, it was up to Dong Xuan.
third place, Li Naiwen.
When it comes to Li Naiwen, everyone is no stranger, this is an "old acquaintance" of the audience.
In the past few years, Li Naiwen's career has ushered in a big explosion, in the opening drama "Our Days", he is the male lead, and in this year's ratings dark horse "Pearl River People", there is him, and Zhang Yimou knows that in "Solid as a Rock", there is also him.
No matter what theme or role, Li Naiwen's acting skills are always stable, and he can definitely shape a good role.
Even if he has not appeared in the new drama for the time being, a look in the trailer has already performed a scheming role, and it is still necessary to wait for him to appear before making a judgment.
In addition, there are also actors such as Hai Yitian and Liu Jin in the play, and with them, the audience can follow the drama with peace of mind.
Epilogue:
Having said all this, can "Song Ci Shaohualu" explode? On the whole, it is not impossible to do so.
On the one hand, the selection of dramas to be broadcast at the end of the year is considered the right schedule, not only are there no dramas of the same type in the recent national drama market, but there are no big hit dramas, and then, it depends on the performance of the series, whether it can be worthy of the dark horse at the end of the year.
On the other hand, the traditional reasoning detective model has entered a "dead end", and "Song Ci Shaohualu" does not continue the serious style of most costume detective dramas, but uses a relaxed and humorous way to bring the audience into the play, with a sense of playful contrast.
In the same costumed detective drama that focuses on tension and excitement, the appearance of "Song Ci Shaohualu" undoubtedly changed the "taste" for the audience.
