Because of the good impression of "White Night Pursuit" (2017), "Rebirth" (2020), which is known as the previous chapter of "White Night", came out, and I immediately watched it. The more I looked at it, the more frustrated I became, the narrator was annoyed, the speed was slow, and all kinds of reasons were mysterious. Zhang Yi has not played the main role several times in total, and this time he is lame again. But also traumatic amnesia.

Amnesia, an amnesiac police officer suspected of killing colleagues, can continue to be promoted, only in the TV series. Of course, no one will worry about life with the TV series, the children of rich families, most likely not biological, "Rebirth" confirmed. Good mountains and waters are best for ex-wives, as "Rebirth" reiterates. Two manslaughters, the beauty is a careless push of each other caused a brain accident, "Rebirth" did it. In fact, I can accept all of this. Moreover, in serious theory, "Rebirth" will definitely enter the top ten in this year's domestic TV series. At least, as a suspenseful reasoning drama, the intersection of the long vertical line and the short horizontal line of this drama is considered to be structured. However, I would like to say to the choreographer, please stop playing reasoning.
The audience of domestic dramas, when it comes to reasoning, are all splashed with fireworks. In "Drunken Linglong" (2017), Liu Shishi was asked by the master: "Oh, you are the woman of Ling Wang, say, what does it have to do with Ling Wang!" "Sharp Gun" (2012) is more awesome, Shangfeng said a very long paragraph when explaining the male protagonist's sharpshooter, the whole human estimation that none of them can understand, the male protagonist himself is also ignorant, I copied a few sentences: let the bullet turn is principled, that is, the shooter in the bullet out of the chamber at the moment, the wrist shakes rapidly, this jitter, gives the bullet a horizontal acceleration, thus forming an arc, this is the gun fighting technique.

With the foundation of gun fighting and admiring the reasoning ability of the people in other plays, I calmed down a lot until I met "Ten Deadly Sins" (2016). The policemen in the Ten Deadly Sins, who are also dedicated, have been personally going to the scene of the crime, and then they reasoned, the same as the poem: "Girls usually wear this kind of thick slippers." But from the scene, she has been anxiously waiting for the arrival of a man. The door should be unlocked. Because once this lock is hung, it must be opened with a key. The logic of thickening slippers, locks, and keys immediately convinced me, so, later, from "twelve severed hands," they visually detected, "not from the same corpse," and I was convinced. Our actors' acting skills are good, the realism is full of breath, and there is no laughter at all.

On such a reasoning platform, "Rebirth" is simply Yao Ming's height. There are no ridiculous lines, no pre-compulsory education for human beings, and no indiscriminate use of cosmic flow polygraphic reasoning such as "Peace Hotel" (2018). "Peace Hotel" choreographer must be very familiar with the American drama "A Thousand Lies" (2009-2010), Chen Jiaying is also worthy of being a genius behavior trace analyst with a background in studying abroad, watching a few seconds of interrogation, you can infer from the other party's eye rotation whether the criminal is lying, from the boss's fist shaking action to judge whether the other party is innocent, although these skills are naturally possessed by all Chinese primary school teachers, but by the stars to deduce, we have to applaud wildly. Similar to the Japanese drama "The Code of famous detectives", the transvestite old man wears a red dress, although the gender characteristics are as obvious as Trump, but dare to angrily question the famous detective: how do you see that I am a man dressed as a woman, and then, the detective's gorgeous reasoning makes the global push fans shed nosebleeds, the lyrics are to the effect: I am so young and beautiful, but you rejected me.

Anyway, the spitting team of the reasoning drama is the longest of all types of dramas. In the reasoning group, as long as someone says, "Lord Di! A headless female corpse is found in the backyard", and someone will continue: "I am sure that this person must die." Immediately, a group of people followed by wow wow: "The adult is really a clever plan, this person is really dead." "Okay, the spit is over, back to 'Rebirth'.
Look closely, the mainstream and tributary crimes in "Rebirth" have a trauma, either the lack of maternal love in childhood, or the relationship between parents and husband and wife, so the police arrived at the scene of the crime, did not ask what the case, the first time to check the character's family relationship, the second time on bingo. All kinds of family trauma, in the suspense detective drama to dominate the king for many years, but no one has ever filmed Hitchcock, "Horror" has passed sixty years, British dramas, American dramas, Japanese dramas, in fact, have successively out of the original trauma routine, Hong Kong dramas to the end of the last century, have also turned to the postmodern world, even the most like to engage in vulgar Freud Korean dramas, these years of family reasoning is often embedded in a more political and more struggle of North and South Korea, poor and rich framework, but, "Rebirth" But the psychiatrist and family cases of the strong last century style were recovered.

Twenty years have passed in the twenty-first century, and one hundred and eighty years ago, when Poe wrote "The Heart That Leaked Secrets," he warned us that modern killing people "have no motive." If the reasoning school must have a reason, then "it is because of his eyes." Because his eyes were like condors, "when it landed on me, it made my blood cold", I killed him. So, Chandler looked down on Holmes, for the real murder was always, in the middle of nowhere, bullets that flew out inexplicably. The modern detective thus bids farewell to the classical detective forever, and the revelation of the case is no longer the advantage of IQ, but a representation of disorder. Of course, this is not to say that the classical detective is outdated, last year's hit "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath" (2019), is the reactivation of the classical detective model, but any modern detective drama, it is impossible to ignore the contemporary context, step by step reasoning back to the womb, which is different from "looking to the right, indicating that you are lying".

Originally, as an aspiring crew, "Rebirth" should have been expected by the national audience, on the new platform of "White Night Pursuit" and "Undocumented Crime", to continue to promote the social reasoning style, to promote the criminal investigation drama of the old industrial base, a sense of steel and hard black wind that cannot be seen in the north, Shanghai, and Guangzhou criminal investigation films, and then create a criminal investigation drama with Chinese characteristics, but I think more, after all, the development of genre dramas is the art of time. "White Night Pursuit" has retreated to the level of "Rebirth", but let us see how powerful the reasoning ability of a country is. It's like, in this epidemic, countless Republic of China fans want to use Beiping to lick their wounds. In other words, if "Rebirth" can put aside traumatic reasoning and continue to exert efforts on social structure, the domestic criminal investigation bureau can really enter, in the words of Žižek' recent remarks about the epidemic, "the global world landscape in which we are placed" and "keep in mind all the paradoxes implied by this landscape".

Putting aside the ethical ambitions of psychoanalysis and throwing himself into the realm of social drama, in "Rebirth", Chen Rui's absurd role will end in one minute. Lou Yi could not have been taken by the police to play with his son to play with trauma. In this interface, the future protagonist will not have the face to play fake wrestling all day long, and a fall is a handsome man and a beautiful woman kissing a piece. I have watched TV dramas for decades, and I have not seen Yang Mi fall on Zhao Benshan's mouth once. Only in this new interface, the confusing behavior of domestic dramas and various demonic human settings can bid farewell to film and television dramas, "He is committing suicide, then his motivation must not want to live" such reasoning, it will not survive the epidemic period.
In the first year of the new crown, can Chinese film and television dramas also take some film and television viruses off from this unprecedented shock?
