Produced by iQIYI Literature, Beijing Baikun Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., Guangdong Guangshi Media Co., Ltd., directed by Tao Hai, signed director of Baikun Film and Television, starring Lu Shan, Yang Haoming and Chen Muyang, and starring Liu Minghao, Yuan Ziyi, Wang Haowei, Zhou Mujie, Yan Feng, Shi Rui, Ma Ang and Ma Ge, the crime suspense drama "Criminal Investigation Notes" was launched in Chongqing yesterday. At the same time, the filmmakers jointly exposed the special edition of "Criminal Investigation Notes", hard-core reasoning and industrial-style texture, which also triggered the audience's expectations for the play.
Novel character settings Uncover the truth of the fog
"Criminal Investigation Notes" lasted 39 days of filming, presented in the story of the unit drama, telling the story of the criminal investigation team led by Fu Yaoyao (Played by Lu Yi) and Jiang Zuo'an (Played by Yang Haoming), in the case of the rich people in S City who seem to have been cursed and died one after another, and were forced to get together in abandoned villas, but there were frequent accidents, and the cases in which the Internet celebrity anchors died one after another, so that the black shadow was hidden, so that the real murderer behind the scenes surfaced. In the process of solving the case, the numerous difficulties and successive reversals caught them off guard.
At the same time, the character relationship in "Criminal Investigation Notes" is no longer the traditional routine of "one strong and many auxiliaries", but a new model of "multi-strong interaction" has been tried. Fu Yaoyao and Jiang Zuo'an, while possessing the strong insight and reasoning ability of the protagonist of the detective drama "standard", are also very grounded, no longer the "paper people" familiar to the audience, and the mysterious Identity of Zhong Shenhao (Played by Chen Muyang) and others are no longer functional "tool people" in traditional detective stories. Such a character setting not only narrows the distance between the characters and the audience, but also makes Fu Yaoyao and others become extremely vivid independent female figures outside the "protagonist aura", so that "Criminal Investigation Notes" adds a clue from mutual estrangement and opposition to gradually approaching the protagonists with distinct personalities in addition to the contradictions of trickery vs truth and evil vs justice, bringing a variety of viewing experiences to the audience.
High-quality suspense production to build the perfect "crime" stage
For the suspense genre, the plot and characters are undoubtedly the core of the entire play, and "Criminal Investigation Notes" goes further on this basis, refining the production details outside the narrative. In terms of production, the drama used the gold medal behind-the-scenes team, including many outstanding workers in the industry such as set scenes, photography, and costumes. In terms of art, hundreds of sketches were designed in advance for important scenes in the play in the early stage of the project preparation, and experts and senior enthusiasts in related fields were consulted, so that the sense of abandonment in the abandoned hotel of different eras was precipitated, and the details of props such as scrapped vehicles and mossy pianos abounded. And such a diverse and complex setting not only means ingenuity in the production, but also reflects the rich and diverse case settings of the play from the side. Whether it is an elaborate abandoned hotel or an outdoor scene with local characteristics of Chongqing, the staff is creating a suspenseful atmosphere through highly textured light and shadow and tone settings. In the whole filming process, although there are only 12 episodes of volume, each starring actor has an average of more than 30 sets of styles, and the other actors have an average of about 10 sets of styles, which are designed according to the characteristics of each role and the actor's own characteristics, reflecting the characteristics of criminal investigation while strengthening the fashion sense of the role.
It is reported that "Criminal Investigation Notes" will adopt 'pumping creation' in the 12 episodes and two units of the story to ensure the story quality of the series, which will also bring more different ways of expression and provide more possibilities for the suspense genre. Now, "Criminal Investigation Notes" has entered the post-production stage, and it is expected to meet the audience next year, more exciting, so stay tuned.
