The injury suffered in "Yunnan Worm Valley" has gained a little comfort from "Double Detective".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > the best in the first episode</h1>
When watching the first episode, from the opening to the editing, from the lighting to the actors, from the plot to the details, all of them are amazing.
First of all, the atmosphere of the opening film is very sufficient. It's a bit of a Korean suspense film, and from the beginning I plan to seriously do a good TV series. I've written a small essay praising this before. I will not repeat it.
The lighting is indeed worthy of praise, and there are many pictures in the TV series that are very beautiful. Let's say that from "Wolf Hunter" to "Double Detective", I suddenly have an experience, that is, domestic dramas have never lacked good photography. Good picture, someone can always shoot it for you. Just the right lighting, there are also people who can make it for you, the aesthetics of domestic dramas, in fact, not bad. Especially in the realist dramas, every level is directly catching up with Zhang Yimou.
Duan Yihong naturally needless to say, in my heart, he, like Wang Qianyuan and Sun Honglei, is the backbone of the strength drama in the 1970s and the middle-aged main force of Chinese film and television dramas. When the country is rectifying the entertainment industry, a powerful faction like him should seize the opportunity to shoot more dramas and send more benefits to the audience.
As for the details in the TV series, I am neither a Beijinger nor a Twin Towers person, and I can't stand up and say that it is exactly the same as my family. But the character and atmosphere created by the TV series completely brought me into the atmosphere. For example, the spittoon on Duan Yihong's hand, the white rabbit milk candy on the little girl's hand, and so on.
However, after watching it continuously, all the way to the tenth episode, I found that some things were still too much for me.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="84" > highlights on the clip are purely coincidental</h1>
In fact, in the first episode, there are many places where the editing is very smooth.
For example, at the beginning of the TV series, the child sees the killing, and then the picture turns, that is, the child is taken away. Common sense infers that the two children are the same person. As a result, I watched more episodes and found that I thought more.
For another example, Fan Xiaoyuan appeared in the TV series, and then there was an old man who said deeply that he wanted to eat meat and have children. At that time, I thought it was the old man who wanted to eat this baby girl? Is this a horror movie? But when this red-lit old man appeared many times in the TV series, I found that the director actually did not have much meaning, that is, an old man who wanted blood type matching.
However, after the first episode, there are basically no transitions that can be undertaken by each other. Basically, I want to turn around. It also confirms that the coincidence I thought was misleading in the first episode.
In editing, I retract my tribute to the director.
The following large number of spoilers, do not want to be spoiled, please silently close the page before, pay attention to it, wait until you finish watching the finale, and then see if I analyze it correctly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="85" > the two-line narrative disappears into fragmented plots</h1>
Judging from the name "Double Detective", this drama is the two male protagonists solving the case at the same time. Well, in order for them to meet, there must be two parallel lines.
One line is that Duan Yihong, as a criminal policeman, is looking for Fan Xiaoyuan and investigating human traffickers.
The other is the line where Dapeng acts as a mortician and investigates the murder of his father.
In the process of investigating the case, because of some coincidence, the two accidentally met, and then worked together to solve the case.
The usual routine is like this.
This routine is found in many Korean dramas: such as Sun Hyun-joo and Jang Seung-joo in "Model Criminal Police"; for example, Shin Ha-kyun and Lu Zhenjiu in "Monster"; and Ji Sung and Park Jin-young in "Demon Judge".
There are also many successful examples in American dramas, such as "True Detective".
In the two-person case-solving routine of Korean dramas, some ambiguous hints of the relationship between the two will be added according to the current popularity, and the audience will be addicted on the road of fantasy, which is particularly obvious in "Monster" and "Demon Judge". 、
However, "Double Detective" is a realistic criminal investigation drama, and socialism only has brotherhood, and does not engage in capitalist beauty.
So we see Duan Yihong and Dapeng, although they have different personalities, they are both straight men of steel.
In the first few episodes of the TV series, the two saw from the first time because of Dapeng that the person who was killed was catty, and after revealing the acquaintance of the two people was natural, the parallel development of their respective lines was also very smooth. There are not too many superfluous bits and pieces.
However, after two or three episodes, it is obvious that the screenwriter's ability to control the main line has declined, and outside the main line story, the share of group dramas is too large, weakening the narrative charm of the main line.
For example, on the way, two traffickers with little girls order food at a shop. Then stole someone's car. This place, too much footage for people who have been stolen from chicken carts. So much so impressed that I was so impressed with this fat man. I remember exactly what he said to the lady boss, how he drank soup, and how enthusiastic he was for the traffickers.
As for?
Director and screenwriter, I want to ask you about it?
Every character who appears in the scene basically tries to give the shots and lines. So much so that it makes me a bit of a suspense fan. According to the amount of lenses, those who give so many lenses must have great significance. Either the main character is the confusing character.
But it's not. A little thought about it, I know that they are all passers-by.
Is this probably the reason why directors and screenwriters shoot so many episodes?
You all have Duan Yihong, what more moths do you want to add?
In this regard, the screenwriter has a great responsibility.
For example, Fan Xiaoyuan went to the physical examination in the morning, and the tug-of-war with her mother gave a lot of shots. There is no need at all.
From saying that the physical examination does not eat breakfast, to eating buns, classmates will laugh at her, to wanting to steal her mother's money, to stealing money successfully, to getting the white rabbit milk candy.
I can understand that this great white rabbit milk candy appeared because of sponsorship, but what about others?
Fan Xiaoyuan's mother's footage makes me feel that she is completely different from the couple who came to find Duan Yihong in the back, is it my eyes?
I tried to understand that maybe the director's long-winded shot was to show that their family was very poor, but for the sake of the children, they still ran to Duan Yihong to pay bribes. Then the people's policeman Duan Yihong did not take the masses for a needle and a thread. Is that what it means?
However, is it necessary?
For the shots that do not cash in the snack bar, I can understand the feeling of parents going to the police. It's normal to be biological, in a hurry. There is no need to explain the eighteenth generation of the ancestors. Confession, there is no need for so many frontal shots. This is the meaning of procrastination. You just let your parents dress a little bit when they come to stuff the money, and everything is in silence.
I see the tenth episode now, and in the ninth episode, I basically guessed the plot.
This feeling surprised me.
It's completely different from how I felt when I watched the first episode.
By the tenth episode, the suspense of the plot is basically gone. We know the murderer, we know the murderer's next target, and the police are infinitely close to the truth of their investigation, what is the next performance? There are still six more episodes!
I'm ready to wrestle with the screenwriter.
It turns out that I think too much.
Of course, I'm looking forward to the next punch in the face.

Even the domestic web drama that can't bear to miss the opening of the film, conscience
