On the evening of October 14, the TV series "The Truth" was launched on Youku and opened the premiere mode. This TV series is starring actors such as Chen Xingxu and Gai Yuexi, and belongs to the genre of criminal investigation dramas. Based on the plot content of the opening, this TV series focuses on the sense of reality, and even really has the real case and work content guidance of the relevant judicial departments. In terms of story content, the content of crime is very large. In terms of narrative technique, there are no bits and pieces, no ramblings, and the story is fast. In terms of starring, Chen Xingxu and Gai Yuexi are among the roles.
You may wish to talk about the actor first, because this is easy to say, three words and two words can be. The story of the TV series "The Truth" can already drive the audience and make everyone ignore the performances of Chen Xingxu and Gai Yuexi. This is a typical story foot, which brings a hilarious effect. The lack of story content requires actors to mobilize with a lot of acting skills. Because the story and conflict of "The Truth" are very sufficient, the audience will ignore the performances of Chen Xingxu, Gai Yuexi and others, and even think that how they perform is correct. Based on this, I think that both young actors are in the role, and their performance is competent, which is worthy of recognition.
Then say the realism of this TV series. After watching "The Truth", I was shocked by the old editor. Why? Because the realism of its working scene is very heavy. This TV series is a TV series work from the perspective of the procuratorate. The work scene in the play is very real. Even outside the environment, the work content gives people a sense of reality. Watching "The Truth", I even think that there is a script creation assisted by the procuratorate staff here? Is it just to find the material from the real case and then restore the shooting?
Since there is such a great sense of reality, why is the old editor frightened? In fact, around the new millennium, we also have a number of tv dramas with crime and criminal investigation themes. At that time, this kind of genre was very popular. At that time, these works generally faced a problem of creative ethics, that is, how much realism to seek. Realism, at least in two directions. One is the realism in the process of solving the case. The other is the realism in the process of committing a crime. Around the new millennium, the creative consensus of many screenwriters is that in the process of solving the case, try to avoid the most advanced means of solving the case and do not provide the greatest sense of reality.
The reason for this is to prevent some "criminals" from having a more advanced "anti-reconnaissance ability" after seeing the TV series, thus causing more trouble for criminal investigators and procuratorate staff. In fact, over the years, our crime dramas and criminal investigation dramas have avoided being too real to a certain extent, and this "Truth" is too real in the case investigation link. Especially the use of many technical means. Of course, the legal net is not leaked, which is also the best deterrent for invisible criminals.
Then there's the question of the scale of the TV series. The scale mentioned here is the scale of the content of the crime. The plot and criminal content of the opening of the TV series "The Truth" are very large. The entire criminal process of the criminals challenges the bottom line that the audience can accept. In the process of filming, in the face of these large-scale content, the play adopted a mosaic approach. This is a very reasonable shooting mode.
The criminal content at the beginning of "The Truth" allows the audience to see the case in reality. Although from the perspective of the play, its scale is very large. However, on a realistic level, the play is a copy of reality and does not amplify the criminal content itself. Therefore, there is no problem in the filming ethics of the play.
Finally, let's talk about the fast narrative of this TV series. The most likely problem in TV series with crime and criminal investigation themes is that there are too many bits and pieces between male and female protagonists. In particular, the male and female protagonists are in love while working. In this way, the play is seriously injected. In the plot of the opening episodes of "The Truth", the presentation of the case detection process is the mainstay, and the personal roles of the male and female protagonists are few and far between. This is a very correct narrative.
At the same time, in the process of solving the case of this TV series, there have been many reversals. A case, stripping away the cocoon, seeing that the case has been finalized, immediately has a new clue, continue to peel back the cocoon... The story of "The Truth" is layer after layer, leading the audience to gradually approach the truth. In terms of storytelling ability, "Truth" is of a high level. This is also the reason why the drama has a strong story.
Of course, this kind of criminal investigation work with a very strong sense of reality may provoke the audience. Admittedly, there are some viewers who prefer more moderate works. Based on this, I think the TV series "The Truth" should become a more popular work. As for the seat call, there should not be too much expectation. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
