2023 is really a year full of suspense dramas, with a series of works such as "The Long Season", "Lotus Tower", and "Under the Prosperous City", each of which can outline a fascinating story. The audience enjoyed watching it.
In these suspense dramas, costume suspense is a highlight. The works with "Bao Qingtian" and "Di Renjie" as the protagonists have always been loved. However, in recent years, we have rarely seen costume suspense dramas inspired by these two historical figures, is this kind of story theme outdated?
Just recently, a costume suspense drama called "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" suddenly appeared, which attracted widespread attention. The original work has long been the pinnacle of global reasoning, so what is the highlight of this drama?
When it comes to costume suspense dramas, the first thing that comes to mind is the popular "Tang Dynasty Legends". This drama has been regarded as a classic by many netizens since its inception. Closely related to this drama is Detective Di Renjie, and the protagonist Su Wuming is Di Renjie's protégé. When Di Renjie is mentioned, it can immediately make people feel awe.
How powerful is the name Di Renjie? From ancient times to the present, when it comes to Chinese suspense reasoning, whether it is literature or film and television works, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is always the two legendary figures "Bao Qingtian" and "Di Renjie". However, in recent years, TV and movies rarely mention these two knights, until the appearance of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty".
After the fire of "Tang Dynasty Legends", unit case-style reasoning dramas have become the current trend. Completely narrating a case in five or six episodes not only promotes the rapid development of the plot, but also firmly attracts the audience's attention.
The related design in each case makes the reasoning drama more reasonable, and today's "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" also adopts a unitary design to present the storyline in a more vivid way.
Di Renjie in history, during the Tang Dynasty, became the protagonist in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty". Under the rule of Wu Zetian, the court's first-class lineup changed blood, and Di Renjie stayed away from the court and went to various states, counties, and towns in the Tang Dynasty. His figure is all over the territory of the Tang Dynasty and has solved countless strange cases.
In the original work, Di Renjie is a maverick "detective" who seeks justice for the people, and finally returns to the **region to pacify the ** forces.
According to the trailer of "The Case of Tang Di Gong", the show is expected to tell 17 cases, and each case will be closed after five or six episodes. This design makes the plot more fast-paced and more likely to arouse the audience's strong interest.
There are all kinds of strange events in the play, and the shots and picture designs shown in the trailer are extremely weird. The exciting fight scenes, just a few minutes of teaser aroused the curiosity of the audience.
In addition to the reasoning elements, the plot of officialdom and power is also integrated into "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty". Under the cloak of reasoning, the play will ** multiple problems of reality and society.
In this play, there are really a lot of powerful actors, such as Zhou Yiwei, Zhang Jiayi, Zhang Ruoyun...Wait a minute. Their works are basically very popular with the audience. Zhang Jiayi has been nominated for the Magnolia Award six times, "White Deer Plain", "Mountains and Seas", "The Salt Merchant of the Qing Dynasty"...The plays he has acted in are all classics in the minds of the audience.
The roles played by this guy reveal a powerful aura in every word and deed, and every role impresses the audience. In recent years, many netizens have said that he is rarely seen in film and television works, but this time in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", Zhang Jiayi finally showed his face again, and I really look forward to how wonderful he can be in the play.
Zhang Ruoyun became popular with "Celebrating More Than Years" and became a powerful actor. From "Forensic Qin Ming" to "Sword in the Snow", his performances have always impressed the audience. In the past February 2023, his acting skills in the reasoning drama "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope" also impressed many audiences.
In addition to Zhang Ruoyun's works attracting attention, netizens also gave him the nickname "Zhang Wuji". The plays he plays always make everyone can't wait for the second season, will this time "The Case of Tang Di Gong" break this curse? In the play, he plays a supporting role, focusing on force, which is completely different from the previous role based on IQ, which is really a new challenge.
Zhou Wai has been on fire lately, you know? His performance in "Love's School Trip" was so good that he directly subverted the impression of "machismo" and "scumbag". Netizens admitted that they were a little suspicious of him, but his acting skills were really speechless.
Do you remember the role he played in "Embroidered Spring Knife"? The sentence "He is my brother and wants to add money" is simply impressive and has become one of his masterpieces. Some people jokingly call him "the gentleman who adds money".
Later, in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and "Shangyang Fu", Zhou Yiwei's acting skills were also quite eye-catching. Especially when I heard that he was going to play a different Di Renjie in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", this is very exciting.
Do you know that the image of Di Renjie in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" also has the temperament of a military general in the original book. The previous performances were all civil and official styles, but this time Zhou Zhouwei has to deduce a different feeling, which is really curious!
Oh yes, and the actresses in that show, is Chen Turin super popular recently? From "Long Moon Embers" to "Lotus Tower" and "Yinian Guan Mountain", her costume dramas have performed very well, and she is simply the "goddess" in the hearts of the audience.
After reading the stills, Chen Duling's style is also quite temperamental. and Wang Likun, she plays Di Renjie's little assistant in the play, she looks like she has that mysterious temperament, and I am looking forward to seeing her performance!
This "Tang Di Gong Case" is not simple, the whole filming process lasted more than 300 days, and you have to know that many scenes are built on the spot, big ships and cities are readily available, and you feel the same heart when you think about it. This drama is really hard work, and you can see the intentions of the production team, which makes people look forward to it even more.
Speaking of why this drama is highly anticipated, we have to start with the original work of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", which can be described as a legend within a legend. This original work is incredible, and it was created by the Dutch writer Gao Luopei after a full 18 years of painstaking work. Although Gao Luopei is not Chinese, his wife Shui Shifang is a descendant of the late Qing Dynasty **, it is said that Gao Luopei is desperately practicing Chinese characters every day, which is simply more Chinese than me!
Gao Luopei's "The Case of Tang Di Gong" is popular all over the world, and is known as "Oriental Palace-level reasoning**", why is this ** so popular? Some people are strange, when it comes to suspense, why is it all related to Di Renjie?
In a lot of legends, Di Renjie is synonymous with detectives. Historically, he was not only a statesman, but also favored by emperors. As a **, the people like him very much, and he has solved countless unjust cases in just one year in Dali Temple. What a hero!
It can be said that Di Renjie rehabilitated hundreds of people, so in the hearts of the people, he is a "detective". The image of Di Renjie has been portrayed as a character with a righteous heart in the legends of later generations.
In the past literary works depicting Di Renjie, it did not focus on his detective skills, but paid more attention to showing his sincere heart to eliminate harm for the people.
However, the image of Di Renjie presented in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is not only a clean official who cares about the people, but also a detective with a distinctive personality. In this work, he shows a side that can drink and have fun, which makes his detective image more down-to-earth and more vivid and full.
Gao Luopei's inspiration for writing this book came from The Four Strange Cases of Wu Zetian, which shows that Di Renjie has had a profound influence on contemporary people in various folklore.
In **, Di Renjie not only presents many classic reasoning elements, but also makes his image more three-dimensional and complete through different stories. The book shows Di Renjie's sense of responsibility and courage in that era, which also highlights the influence of traditional Chinese virtues.
In addition, in many reasoning, the variety of characters often leads to confusion in the plot, which is a disadvantage of reasoning. However, in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", Gao Luopei skillfully repaired this problem, and in many cases, the main characters were limited to Di Renjie and an assistant, and sometimes only Di Renjie was alone to investigate the case.
The drama deals with the complexity of the plot and the relationships between the characters, solving this problem. In fact, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" has been remade by directors in the first decade of the last century, and the first one is the famous "The Legend of Di Renjie's Case". It was loved by many viewers as soon as it aired, and the two subsequent remakes also received critical acclaim.
It is worth mentioning that in the case of "Chaoyunguan" in the original work, Di Renjie found out that the real murderer had a very high status and could not be dealt with directly. Faced with the gap in status, Di Renjie couldn't catch him on the spot. So, he came up with a way to pretend to chat casually with **. The two walked to the edge of the cliff while chatting, and when they reached the edge, Di Renjie took advantage of his inattention and pushed him off the cliff.
However, in the remake of "The Legend of Di Renjie", it was changed to ** falling off the cliff by himself, although this design is harmless, but it is different from the plot in the original book.
Although the works with Di Renjie as the protagonist are popular with the audience, some over-altered works have also attracted criticism from netizens. The original work of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" has been deeply loved by readers, as long as it is fully restored in the shooting, I believe this work will definitely become the next classic.
