After 20 years of time flowing, "Young Bao Qingtian" (also known as Shaobao) still won 84 high scores, and there are still a large number of viewers again ** this classic play.
Compared with the director's next two works, most netizens have a very high evaluation of Shaobao 1.
Zhou Jie's great contribution to this drama makes it such a classic.
However, human values and aesthetic concepts are closely related to the times.
I used to think that anywhere was a good little pack, and if you don't take into account the filter effect of your childhood, even if you look at it now, although it is still "always new", its whole body is a bug.
01, Zhou Jie and his team provided a solid foundation for the performance.
Zhou Jie's acting skills, and his interpretation of Bao Zheng in the second and third parts, have always been the focus of heated discussions, and they are also what Xiaoxi had to mention when writing this theme.
Bao Qingtian, this teenager, Bao Qingtian, this middle-aged, and the smiling Bao Qingtian".
Although all the movie titles are "teenagers", only Zhou Jie really plays the role of a teenager.
According to the setting of the plot, Bao Zheng in the first part is a scholar over 20 years old, at this age, he has the scholarly temperament that all young people have, and also has the character of "not afraid of challenges and pursuing inner justice".
The TV show begins with the strategy of "judging the pig", engaging in ambiguous conversations with the "pig" in order to find answers to questions and seek a small justice for the uncle.
At that moment, he showed a strong boyish vibe, with both a naughty side and a childlike laugh.
However, when it comes to events that are closely related to human life, he pursues the truth of the facts, and that seriousness of "having a clear conscience" makes him seem more stable and mature.
Due to his intelligence and excellent case-finding abilities, he is often highly praised, and many people naturally believe that he should be a haughty, aloof person.
Although Bao Zheng grew up in a single-parent family and experienced various struggles within the family, he appeared more mature in thought, but Bao Da Niang did a very thoughtful job of protecting and caring for him, so that he completely retained the character and fighting spirit that a teenager should have.
In daily life, he is also a person who likes to play and make noise, although everyone regards him as an "idol" and an expert in handling cases, Chang Yu uses "ordinary people" to describe him, thus gaining insight into his true character.
He is good at establishing a deep friendship with Zhanzhao Gongsun Ce, often quarreling with Aunt Bao, often arguing with Chu Chu, and often provoking each other with harsh words with Feiyan, he will choose to escape from reality, drown his pain with wine, and even sometimes flee the scene by pretending to be **.
During the scouting process, he always maintained a high level of concentration, and he was able to quickly think about a random sentence that others said throughout the night. In the face of powerful power, especially the overt and covert threats of Pang Taishi, he was unwavering. When Song Renzong offered him a lucrative official position and treatment, he did not hesitate to refuse directly.
This image of Bao Zheng is vivid and interesting, very down-to-earth, and the distance between him and the audience is greatly shortened.
Zhou Jie's portrayal of the role of Bao Zheng is both accurate and in place, unlike Bao Zheng who entered the court for the first time in the second part, he was portrayed as a veteran of officialdom, and is completely different from Bao Zheng in the third part, more like a fool and a laughing stock.
Obviously, Bao Zheng's performance is very good, and the other main characters also show their best state, and the performance of all the members of the ** undoubtedly adds a lot of color to the whole play.
02. The character setting of the story perfectly reflects the local characteristics.
The most controversial part of this drama over the years is actually that its case and verification process are highly similar to the plots of some foreign animation works, so some bugs in the plot are ignored.
That said, a small package may be considered plagiarism.
According to the radical attitude of current netizens, if a play is labeled as "plagiarism", then the audience will naturally have a strong antipathy to this work.
Even if you see it in person, it's easy to unconsciously pick a bone out of an egg.
Since the online communication was not yet fully popularized at that time, the audience's awareness of copyright was not as strong as it is now, so their evaluation criteria were relatively more objective.
This drama, judging from its script and story structure, can be divided into two parts: the first part is the whole process of investigation, that is, the whole process from the occurrence of the case to the investigation of the truth;The second part is the day-to-day investigative activities.
Although this TV series imitated foreign animation works during the investigation process and was criticized by many netizens, it has to be admitted that it is quite vivid in depicting the daily life of the characters.
Although the process of investigation can be replicated, in the story outside of investigation, the setting of the story, the director's shooting method, and the actor's performance are all affected by the screenwriter's and director's in-depth understanding of the localization of the story and the actor's accurate grasp of the story content.
Some netizens have copied several parts of the show on the internet and compared them with foreign anime works. In fact, the screenwriter skillfully blended a large number of mystery plots, translating them into 7 separate stories in the play.
However, it is worth mentioning that the seamless switching between the two parts of the investigation and daily life is quite good, and the plot logic of the two parts is highly consistent, avoiding the audience's sense of incongruity of plagiarism or lack of local characteristics.
Surprisingly, every part of this drama incorporates elements of "Zen" and "Righteousness".
For example, when Xiao Ai was bullied by the prince of Goryeo, Bao Zheng was full of fighting spirit when he was young, and in the process of speaking up for Xiao Ai, every word Bao Da Niang said was like waking up from a dream.
For example, in the incident in Yinyi Village, Zhuo Yun's adoptive mother has been insisting on fasting and chanting Buddha, her purpose is to hope that Zhuo Yun can release the obsession and hatred in her heart, and every word she says is full of local characteristics.
For example, Hou Bao Zheng once expressed to Pang Taishi the view that "the way of heaven will last forever".
Everyone can tell profound truths, and everyone can come up with them, but incorporating these truths into the storyline to make the plot different from the original story is exactly what the screenwriter is really capable of.
Although plagiarism is wrong, in that era when scripts were scarce and creative faced many obstacles, it was really commendable to stick to your principles despite going with the flow.
03. The blessing given by the nightmare of childhood.
Who hasn't experienced a few nightmares associated with the background during their childhood?
Xiaoxi also has it.
The quality of a drama can actually be proved by words and memories with a filter effect such as "childhood nightmare", which is not very suitable in any case.
However, a great backdrop** and a great theme song are an indispensable bonus to any drama.
In the barrage of less package 1, there is a sentence that describes the whole drama through the background **, which is really interesting.
Your favorite horror movie when you were a kid, and when you grew up, you told me it was a crime-solving movie?”
From this sentence, we can feel that it has a hint of joke, but it is also true. Just from the background, we have forgotten the true connotation of this drama, how can we say that it is not good?
Shaobao's ** work is called "Lost in the Lost Forest", which was created by Wei Qiliang, who is known as the **master of Hong Kong.
This is a pure ** work and does not contain lyrics.
The song's name itself exudes a deep gloomy and mysterious atmosphere, and most of the tracks are set in the night of the play**, with the already hazy light and shadow effects and looming horror props, which are enough to make people feel the adrenaline rush.
It is particularly noteworthy that the director's use of Kazlan capitalization shots often "zooms" the terrifying props, coupled with unusual lighting techniques and the shooting angles of the characters, which make the audience feel as if they have been stabbed in the throat and filled with fear.
The kind of goosebumps that suddenly appeared on **supernatural movies** forcibly elevated a costume TV series in the style of detective suspense to the level of horror movies.
No matter how many years have passed, this will not be forgotten.
Obviously, the crew also invested a lot of energy and thought into the creation of the theme song, in addition to the background.
For example, the opening song of this play is called "No Guilt".
There was a blue sky above me, and I had a strong faith in my heart. It's not the ignorance of youth, it's the courage to face challenges and try to understand the truth. Even if my nature is hard to change, I am willing to do justice for you.
However, some not-so-serious words unraveled my confusion and stimulated my urge to continue pursuing. I always pay attention to your every move, and as soon as the truth of the matter comes to light, I believe that everything will be worthy of my heart.
The lyrics of the song are actually very short, with only the above parts and the rest being sung repeatedly.
However, this short lyric not only summarizes the character and inner world of Bao Zheng, but also shows the plot and the functional design of the character.
This not only shows Bao Zheng's temperament when he was young, but also reflects his sense of justice of "having the courage to accept challenges and pursuing clarity and clarity".It also shows his adherence to and practice of the traditional morality of "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness". In the character's "inadvertent" prompts, Bao Zheng's wit and astuteness in his investigation activities are also revealed.
For a TV series, if the audience can remember it for a long time, then its value will definitely not be too low. Even if the background ** is excellent, it is sufficient. Moreover, the plus points of this drama are not just **.
The last part of the article.
Although the plot and character settings are relatively simple, there are still many less popular elements in the moment.
For example, in Bao Zheng's character design, he is given the image of a "virgin", and after investigating the case and finding the real culprit, he always expounds important truths in a serious manner, giving people the impression that he does not feel back pain when he stands and talks.
Taking Chu Chu as an example, she is full of justice and kindness, but at the same time, she also absorbs many habits in the market, especially the slander and slander of Bao Zheng and Bao Da Niang, which simply destroys her values.
For example, there are some illogical parts in the plot, as well as the questionable geographical divisions (e.g., will the capital from Goryeo to the Great Song Dynasty pass through Luzhou?and other obvious bugs, in modern times, it is easy to be criticized. However, these shortcomings do not hide Yu, and there are so many plus points in this drama that it is not surprising that it can gain such a high status in the hearts of the audience.
