Not long ago, the trailer of "Love Apartment 5" met with the audience. After experiencing the departure of chen he, Wang Chuanjun and Jin Shijia, three important male characters, this IP has obviously lost its original taste. Many viewers have said that they will not watch a story where the protagonists are not together.
The reasons why these actors left "Love Apartment" are very similar, all because of their acting career plans. Among them, Chen He wants to develop variety shows, and Wang Chuanjun and Jin Shijia do not want to be limited by "solidified roles". At present, Wang Chuanjun has proved himself to be a good actor with "I Am Not a Medicine God".
But on the other hand, Jin Shijia's new work "Locked Room" has a very poor reputation.
The story is remade from the Japanese drama of the same name ,"Locked Room", which purchased the original IP. But maybe it's because the writers want to prove their storytelling ability, and all the stories in the series are original.
The story type is the Chamber of Secrets case, and basically, all crimes take place in the "locked room", which perfectly matches the title. But because of the illogical story written by the screenwriter and the poor acting skills shown by the actors, the reputation of the story fell again and again, only getting 6.2 points.
In "The Locked Room", Jin Shijia plays the male protagonist Mu Xia, who is the youngest associate professor of criminal investigation at the University of Political Science and Law. Went to the United Kingdom to study, the professional level is well-known in the world, even the interdisciplinary physics is a professor level, a proper genius.
Logically, such a character setting should be pleasing to people. But it was very unexpected, as soon as Mu Xia appeared, the audience felt very uncomfortable. In order to highlight The character setting of Mu Xia's "indifferent genius", the screenwriter arranged for him to listen to songs "with Bluetooth headphones" on the plane where he could not wear Bluetooth headphones. Knowing that it is a wrong act, but still not repenting, it is really impossible for the audience to like it.
On the other side is Qin Zuoman, the female captain of the criminal police team. In the police force, the captain is definitely not an ordinary person. But I don't know how the screenwriter thinks, and has created a silly white and sweet personality for Qin Zuoman who "can't understand people's words at all". Words and deeds are completely inconsistent with the identity of the characters, especially drama.
In criminal investigation dramas, the narrative method of unit dramas is generally adopted in order to divide the story paragraphs more clearly. At this point, "Locked Room" does a better job, basically one case every two episodes, which is very suitable for the current fragmented viewing time. But here's the thing: the story in the episode is ridiculous! None of them are close to life.
In the first episode, Muxia encounters aircraft airflow, and for various reasons, the cockpit door is locked from the inside, and the captain of the plane faints unconsciously. Only by opening the door from the outside can you control the direction of the aircraft flight.
Just when the crew was at a loss, Mucha appeared. Always keeping in mind his "indifferent genius" personality, expressionless, he took a word clip from the head of the heroine Qin Zuoman, and effortlessly opened the "door that even ak47 can't open". The size of the goldfinger is breathtaking.
In the second episode, the gas leaked in the community. People were anxious, and called Mu Xia to come and unlock the lock at the first time. No one reacted: the gas leak should be found by the firefighters first. The logic of almost all cases is missing, and the audience cannot be believed, and therefore cannot be immersed in the plot.
People may not believe it, but by reading books, the police have solved murders in the secret room not by intelligence. There is a famous book called "The Locked Room" at the scene of the crime. As soon as they saw the book, the police intuitively felt that the murderer had borrowed the method of killing in the book. Therefore, the police quickly opened an app, bought the famous book back, read it and successfully solved the case. The ad implantation is blunt and obvious, making the audience want to sneer.
In the process of investigating the case, Mu Xia's words and deeds have a "strange sense of familiarity". Thinking like Sherlock Holmes, he confidently raises his index finger after finding out the truth. As long as the post-teacher is paired with the daily voice effect of "There is only one truth", the audience can instantly cross to the scene of "Detective Conan". Even if the story is divorced from reality, even the character settings must integrate the characteristics of various classic detectives.
In addition to the above three points, "The Locked Room" has many places that make the audience feel uncomfortable. For example, the two protagonists are always inexplicably afraid of each other, regardless of whether the environment they were in at the time is suitable or not, and do not care whether it will affect the people around them. For example, no matter what type of case, the first thing to do when solving it is to shout Mu Xia to open the lock. It's like you can do something big after gathering 7 unlocking experiences.
Throughout the book, there is no motivation for the two protagonists to become joyful enemies, nor can it have a sense of identification with the way the police solve the case. The behavior of all the characters is illogical, directly making a criminal investigation drama a child's home. Such a careless episode, do not chase it.
