1. Intense narrative opening: The popularity of "Trident" has caused deep doubts all over the world!
Since the advent of "Trident", it has been like a shocking bombshell, detonating on the TV screen, and quickly provoked a huge response. This masterpiece, known as the "Criminal Investigation Drama Classic of the Year", attracted widespread attention and was highly praised as soon as it was broadcast.
The audience was attracted by the complex and changeable plot line shown in the play, and was deeply moved by the lifelike characterization in the play. They are full of respect and fear for the work, but also deeply love and hate it, and this complex emotion is intertwined, which makes the topic of the play continue to heat up.
It once became one of the hottest TV series in the entertainment industry.
However, at a critical moment when there are only a few episodes left in the finale, "Trident" suddenly encounters a strong wave of criticism. Some viewers questioned the prosaic and slow-paced plot near the finale, while others found some of the female characters in the show too offensive.
However, what made the audience laugh and laugh the most was the low-level goofs of "spicy eyes" that can be seen everywhere in this drama. These obvious logical loopholes and anachronisms have taken many people by surprise, and they have questioned whether the crew was negligent.
Second, Pan Jianghai's "magic" identity has undergone a shocking reversal!
In the drama "Trident", Pan Jianghai is undoubtedly one of the most high-profile core characters. As the leader of the plot, his every sentence and action profoundly affects the development direction of the entire story.
And one of Pan Jianghai's most fascinating settings is his "left-handed" identity when he was young. In the play, Pan Jianghai is portrayed as a typical left-handed figure when he is young, which can be easily seen from his dining habits.
In the play, it is even clearly pointed out through narration that Pan Jianghai was born left-handed.
However, what is unexpected is that when Pan Jianghai entered middle age, his identity changed like an incredible "magic"! In a certain scene, the middle-aged Pan Jianghai actually used his right hand to eat with vegetables, which was in stark contrast to the left-handed habit of his youth.
This sudden "magic identity change" made the audience confused and confused.
In any case, Pan Jianghai's "magic identity change" first became the fuse for "Trident" to be questioned, attracting the complaints of many audiences.
From the initial stage of the TV series "Trident", a disjointed character image was constructed, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced the interest of the play.
In the third part, let's talk about flashbacks: the crew's "sloppy" operation leads to a series of spicy-eyed scenes unfolding in front of the audience.
Pan Jianghai's transformation of "magician" status is just one of them, in fact, there are many low-level "spicy eye shots" that make people laugh in the work "Trident". These obvious logical conflicts and misunderstandings of the background of the times really made the audience laugh and admire during the viewing process.
For example, in the play, Dong Hu and Xiaoqing's drag racing scenes. At the beginning, the camera gives a close-up, clearly showing the type of vehicle Dong Hu is driving - it is an Audi car.
However, in the subsequent plot, although Dong Hu's car is still an Audi, its model has changed, which is completely different from the previous model.
Another example, the "flat A73N96" taxi that frequently appears in the camera. In numerous episodes in the early stages, the car was frequently unveiled. However, in a later episode, when Xie Baochun was about to flee the scene by car, the license plate number of the black sedan given by the camera turned out to be exactly the same as the previous taxi, both of which were "Ping A73N96".
These two obvious low-level mistakes really amazed the audience.
What's even more puzzling is the chaotic "sleeping scene" in the timeline in the play. There is a plot where Xu Guozhu dozes off in the office, and the camera deliberately gives a time stamp - 39 minutes and 41 seconds.
However, less than 2 minutes later, when the camera switches to 41 minutes and 14 seconds, the same shot of Seo Guozhu sleeping appears again in the frame, and the movements and postures are exactly the same, almost making the audience mistakenly think that there is a visual hallucination.
However, the most hilarious "spicy eye shot" in "Trident" is the scene of Xu Guozhu chasing the suspect on the construction site when he was young. Everything seems reasonable, but when the audience notices that the body of the truck next to Xu Guozhu is impressively printed with the words "Cargo Lala", they can't help but fall into deep thought - obviously, in that era, the application "Cargo Lala" had not yet come out, and this exposed "anachronism" shot has undoubtedly become the most obvious low-level mistake in the whole play.
Finally, let's explore the interpolation technique: the crew secretly implanted advertisements in the play, which triggered the collective ridicule of the audience.
In the recent hit TV series "Trident", in addition to some unreasonable logical loopholes and low-level editing effects caused by some anachronisms, what is more eye-catching is that the crew seems to have inadvertently embedded a lot of commercial product placement advertisements in the process of advancing the plot.
One of the most eye-catching episodes is the plot where the protagonist Pan Jianghai's daughter needs an emergency operation. At that time, Pan Jianghai's lover was in a desperate situation, fearing that the operation would bring unexpected risks to his daughter.
In order to allow her baby daughter to survive this life-and-death hurdle, the strong and brave mother even risked being blamed by the hospital staff, and resolutely and secretly escaped from the hospital gate, supposedly just to buy some mysterious "supplements".
However, this is not the end, and then, Pan Jianghai's lover actually made a product recommendation directly to the camera, explaining in detail the various varieties, taste, nutritional effects, etc. of this nut gift bag, and even did not forget to attach a promotional slogan of "daily consumption, intellectual and brain health" at the end of the speech.
The moment the episode was presented to the audience, the comment section at the bottom of the screen was immediately covered with angry denunciation. "Is there something out of place for product placement at the moment?", "Has the screenwriter forgotten that this is a suspenseful work?", "Please don't interfere with the marketing team, stop immediately!", and other criticisms have come and gone.
Obviously, the screenwriters' over-pitched product placement undoubtedly angered a wide audience, triggering laughter and ridicule. Undoubtedly, once this "nut commercial" plot was released, it became one of the most controversial and widely ridiculed episodes in the entire show.
Part 5: The character setting and plot arrangement are a little far-fetched
In addition to the obvious logical loopholes and hilarious product placement scenes, "Trident" also has some incomprehensible problems in terms of character setting and plot arrangement.
For example, the original intention of the characters Xiaoxue and Chang Biao was to show the warm side of Pan Jianghai as a loving father through their appearance, and it was also to provide a key opportunity for Pan Jianghai to establish a cooperative relationship with the police.
At first, the addition of Xiaoxue and Chang Biao did have a positive effect on the development of the plot.
However, just after Xiaoqing successfully "surrendered" Chang Biao, an important chess piece, the two characters Xiaoxue and Chang Biao seemed to suddenly disappear from the plot without a trace, and they no longer played any substantive role.
The plot is particularly unbelievable that the high-profile Pan Jianghai was maliciously slandered and finally had to sacrifice his life to defend his innocence, but this scene is extremely hasty and abrupt, lacking reasonable transition and foreshadowing.
For example, Xia Jingyi, who was vigorously promoted by the crew as a "financial talent", as the chief executive officer (CEO) of a company, Xia Jingyi was really skeptical about the company's operation at first, not only questioned Mr. Zhao's decision-making several times, but even did not hesitate to personally hack into Mr. Zhao's computer to steal evidence, showing a firm belief in otherworldliness.
However, what is puzzling is that in this process, Xia Jingyi always seems to be easily prevaricated by Mr. Zhao with some seemingly legitimate reasons, and seems a little "confused" and careless, which is in stark contrast to her identity as a high-IQ elite.
The irrationality of these character settings and plot arrangements undoubtedly brought a heavy burden to the screenwriting work of the crew. It's no wonder that the majority of viewers deeply regret the quality of the plot of "Trident", and have accused the production team of obvious serious omissions in this regard.
6. Summary of the ending: A misunderstood suspense drama
Based on the above analysis, "Trident", which is known as the "Criminal Investigation Drama of the Year", has achieved remarkable results after its premiere, but due to some carelessness and negligence of the crew, the whole drama has been shrouded in a haze of "shame".
Regardless of the obvious and ubiquitous logical loopholes and the "embarrassing" scenes of the misplaced era, there are also many flaws and irrationalities in terms of character creation and plot layout.
From this point of view, "Trident" has not really reached the realm of "divine drama".
However, despite the show's repeated low-level mistakes, its overall quality and viewing value are still excellent, and it is fully qualified to be awarded the reputation of "masterpiece". The crew has really put a lot of effort into the story conception and character portrayal.
Although many viewers are dissatisfied with some unsatisfactory parts of the play, they have not had a big impact on the perception of the entire series. Many viewers still sincerely love and appreciate it, believing that this is an outstanding suspense drama that has been "misunderstood".
In this perspective, the main reason why "Trident" is so controversial is that it is of high quality, and the slightest negligence can be over-interpreted and expanded. Obviously, this kind of embarrassing situation that carries extremely high expectations but is subject to groundless accusations may only be encountered by top dramas.
