More than 20 years ago, in the 90s, Hong Kong dramas had already reached the end of the day, and TVB at that time brought many classics to the audience.
For example, TVB used the sentence "Waves run, waves flow, thousands of miles of waves and rivers never end" in "Shanghai Tang" to arouse the patriotism of many Chinese people.
For example, the majestic rivers and lakes depicted by Master Jin Yong and the romantic and amorous swordsman written by Mr. Gu have also been moved into the TV screen by TVB with the momentum of "vast and boundless".
For example, since the broadcast of "The Great Era", the Hong Kong stock market will fall to varying degrees, and people call this unexplained economic phenomenon the "Ding Crab Effect", and since then, the curtain of business war dramas has been opened.
At this time, TVB's gold medal screenwriter Pan Jiade wanted to make a breakthrough, he didn't want to shoot this kind of fanfare, so he set his sights on workplace dramas.
Therefore, Pan Jiade set his sights on the detective mystery novels that he usually loves, integrating the process of solving cases with the daily life of the police, which is both fascinating and down-to-earth.
Thus, there was the "Criminal Investigation File".
Are there still good-looking urban romance and crime-solving dramas?
Every time at this time, I think of this drama back then, 29 years have passed since it was broadcast, but it is still firmly on the altar of criminal investigation dramas.
Solving cases In Hong Kong dramas, whether the protagonists are affiliated with CIB, CID, O, SDU or ICAC, their work is solving cases every day.
In the era of involution, even negotiators and psychologists are actively solving cases.
As we all know, one of the distinctive characteristics of old Hong Kong dramas is: clean and fast-paced.
Therefore, the deceased appeared in the first 3 minutes of the first part of "Criminal Investigation", and within 5 minutes, the main characters built a clear network around the male number one Zhang Dayong.
Female No. 1 reporter Gao Jie likes to run the news at the scene of the murder, so she and Dayong don't know each other, and the two have experienced many bizarre cases together.
In the first part of "Criminal Investigation", Zhang Dayong is just a sand exhibition of CID.
The female boss Lei Xiaofeng assigned the newcomer Li Zhongyi to Zhang Dayong, and the two began to work together to investigate the case.
In just a few minutes, the core characters who run through the first three parts of "Criminal Investigation" - Zhang Dayong, a policeman who is both wise and brave but hangs his son, Gao Jie, a female reporter who dares to fight, and Li Zhongyi, a stunned young newcomer policeman, all appeared.
The early Hong Kong dramas with strong plots and fast pace look really cool, and the screenwriter's intentions are very admirable.
In fact, at the beginning, no one would have thought that this film would explode.
Tao Dayu was still a thousand-year-old supporting actor at that time, and he never really played the leading role.
Guo Keying has just finished the election of Miss Hong Kong, and she is not in the top three, and the other supporting roles are also unknown.
Before this drama, there were not many other criminal investigation films.
Tao Dayu's image at that time was also average, and he looked like a child; although Guo Keying was beautiful, compared with Shen Nanxing in "Huangpu Love", it was far less amazing.
But you find that the first story in the play is very attractive, and the rest is more and more exciting, triggering the whole people to guess who the murderer is.
Of course, if you look at it now, you will feel that there are many loopholes, but the forensic methods back then were not so advanced, and people's information was not developed, so everyone really guessed who was the murderer while watching, and they were very involved.
You can often see such cases in Hong Kong dramas, they have all broken the law legally, and they have returned to human nature itself, and you can understand their hardships in doing so.
For them, the law does not help them, and they would rather sacrifice their lives and freedom to do so, only to feel infinitely desolate.
was attracted by the plot to watch it, and found that Zhang Dayong is becoming more and more likable, after all, he is a spicy detective with both wisdom and bravery, a clear distinction between public and private, and a good man who is dedicated to love and loyal to friendship.
It is a very time-consuming matter for the police to handle a case, and they must have a sense of justice, or they must not give up all possibilities to find out the truth.
Zhang Dayong is a very qualified policeman, he really did not wronged a good person, did not let go of a potential murderer, and had to close the case several times, but he found suspicious points and continued to investigate.
and Zhang Dayong's character belongs to the knife mouth tofu heart, although he said that the golden branch "38", but he will help her.
"Criminal Investigation Files" writes about the case and love, and love is no worse than solving the case.
All the love scenes are not written separately, but are carefully woven into different cases.
The case is slowly advancing, and love is gradually changing.
In this era of scarcity of romance and crime-solving dramas, it has the effect of passing through time and immortality, and it is still worth revisiting today, 29 years later.
Whether it's a mystery novel or a mystery drama, you can't just have reasoning, it's too hard and lacks flexibility.
After all, all cases are committed by people, and if it is a human being, there is emotion, universal humanity, love and hatred.
And "Criminal Investigation" is a romance drama with excellent reasoning, and the portrayal of emotions and human nature is equally wonderful.
The emotional line of the first part of "Criminal Investigation" is very simple and sincere, and there is no third party involved.
Zhang Dayong will be brave to pursue true love when he encounters it, and he is righteous and responsible.
Gao Jie also accepted Dayong after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, and the two of them were simply sweet bubbling in the later stage.
Zhongyi ended up with Jin Zhi.
People and things have their own beliefs, and they go round and round in life and death; success and failure have my hopes, and I am brave and never retreat after setbacks.
This is a lyric from the theme song "Fighting for Tomorrow" in the theme song of "Criminal Investigation Files".
It accurately summarizes the experience and character of the male advocate Dayong in this pinnacle of criminal investigation and crime in the history of TVB.
The story of the first part is very short, only 20 episodes, so everyone feels that they can't watch enough.
Since then, TVB has filmed a large number of criminal investigation dramas, which are very lively, but "Criminal Investigation Files" is known as the "grandfather" of criminal investigation Hong Kong dramas.
This also gave the story between Zhang Dayong and Gao Jie three 100 episodes long, and the two became a classic on-screen couple.
It is because of the audience's love that since then, the golden boy and girl have cooperated a total of seven times and starred as a couple seven times.
Tao Dayu was also praised by the outside world as the "grandma killer" because of this drama.
In fact, after "The Great Era", the most difficult thing is to "be believed".
In Tao Dayu's definition, it is often more difficult to play a good guy than a villain.
Before participating in "Criminal Investigation Files", he played the selfish and ungrateful Yang Zhibiao in the Hong Kong drama "Gray Net", and became the impulsive and cruel Ding Yicrab in "The Great Era", both of which are hateful villains, in great contrast with Zhang Dayong, who is both wise and brave.
How to convince the audience to accept that Tao Dayu's role is a good person became the first problem in front of him at that time.
But if the audience doesn't believe that you are a good person, it will be difficult for them to believe you, no matter how good you do.
But Tao Dayu proved with his strength that jumping around in these completely different roles does not affect his performance in each play.
Even in the same type of drama, Zhang Dayong, who does not wear hairspray and a jacket in "Criminal Investigation Files", and Jiang Chengyu, who plays hairspray, wears a suit and wears a bow tie in "No. 1 Imperial Court", are two completely different feelings.
From that year to the present, there have always been many viewers who like "Criminal Investigation".
Some like reasoning, some like the emotions of the characters, and some like the feeling of joy and warmth in it.
In the Chinese field, there have always been very few reasoning classics, and "Criminal Investigation" is very precious.
It is precisely because the first part of "Criminal Investigation" was so popular that TVB once a year for four years.
not only made Tao Dayu and Guo Keying cross the front line, but Gu Tianle and Xuan Xuan, who later took over the baton, are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Both the later "Forensic Records" and "Forensic Pioneers" were undoubtedly influenced by it.
Therefore, "Criminal Investigation Files" can definitely be called TVB's most groundbreaking criminal investigation drama.
