The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty is adapted from the famous sinologist and diplomat Gao Luopei's book of the same name**, he aimed his attention at the little-known Di Renjie's youth, and by cracking the Fengyin case, the screen case, the ** strange case and other intricate and layer-by-layer small cases and big cases, he created a civil and military, wanton and free Di Renjie, which became a classic of a generation, and also laid a solid foundation for the adaptation of the drama version.
started broadcasting 4 episodes, what was the response to "The Case of Tang Di Gong".
The classic IP, with a first-line cast, was hotly discussed by the audience at the beginning of the trailer of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", and some people shouted to Zhu Dan: "I heard that this drama made Zhou Zhou Wei haggard, I want to see how exciting it is." ”
As soon as the first 4 episodes came out, some viewers thought that "The Case of Tang Di Gong" was fast-paced and cool, and some viewers said that the drama should not just simply solve the case, and it did not involve much in the background motives and impact of the case.
This is a large-scale costume drama with a strong sense of suspense and a certain degree of historical restoration. Now very few young audiences have watched Gao Luopei**, and I hope to make the audience like this drama through hard work. Li Yunliang, the chief director of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", said.
Different from previous Di Renjie-related works, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" tells the story of Di Renjie's journey from entering Beijing to returning to his hometown, from youth to old age, traveling through Chang'an, Penglai, and the Western Desert, and investigating cases while traveling, with a large span of time and space.
In the first 4 episodes of the play, the audience was shown the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty with noisy street scenes, bright night market lights, and swaying singers.
Di Renjie, a young man played by Zhou Yiwei, walked through it, he had no intention of becoming an official, he just wanted to travel all over the world. In the post house, he never forgot to solve the pearl theft case of the post house through everyone's living habits, and a complete chain of interlocking stories unfolded.
In just 4 episodes, from the pearl theft case in the post house, the arson case of the water building to the silkworm house outside the city, the case is reversed layer by layer, leading to another key character in the play, played by Zhong Chuxi, who plays with power and regards human life as a mustard.
Among the many characters, Wei Wujian played by Zhang Jiayi has attracted the attention of many audiences.
Wei Wujian is an extremely complex character, he is Di Renjie's teacher and a moral role model in everyone's hearts. Out of his own political ideals and personal thoughts, Wei Wujian chose to stand on the opposite side of Wu Zetian, and therefore did many things that went against his heart. After the reversal came out in episode 4, some viewers shouted: "I haven't seen such a character for a long time, Zhang Jiayi knew if there was one as soon as he made a move." ”
Li Yunliang, director of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", revealed that the "Fengyin Case" in the first four episodes of the play is Di Renjie's origin, from this case, Di Renjie began to appear, and made political choices and embarked on the road of detective: "This is directly causally related to his ability to become the prime minister in the end." ”
9 cases run through the whole play, which one is the favorite of the screenwriter of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty".
The diversity of the original cases is one of the difficulties faced by the screenwriter team of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty".
The chief screenwriter Jing Yu revealed: "Because Mr. Gao Luopei's ** is not achieved overnight, the cases in it are all-encompassing, with different lengths and styles. Therefore, when adapting, the first task is to sort out and merge all the cases, and then select them, so as to retain the richness of the cases while adapting. ”
To this end, Jingyu led the team to inherit, modify and integrate the content from the decomposition of the original work, case writing to image adjustment, which took a total of 8 years.
For screenwriters, the biggest difficulty in unit dramas is how to be scattered but not dispersed. Although the protagonist and the crime-solving team remain the same, the characters and content faced in each episode are different, and how to organically combine the two has become the key for the team to consider.
On the one hand, the setting of the main line makes the development of the unit story closely related to the growth and destiny of the protagonist, and on the other hand, the strong belief of the character Di Renjie is an important clue that runs through all units. Di Gong in the play is a fearless person, he is not afraid of power, ghosts, and even fate. He was determined, he believed in the law, and he was an idealist of faith. There is a line in the play that describes his personality more accurately, Di Renjie is a person who likes to challenge his own destiny. Jingyu said.
When asked about his favorite case among the 9 cases in the whole play, Jingyu said that it was "a desert murder chasing case". According to her, this is not a case with strong reasoning, careful logic, and a sense of suspense, but behind the case is thought-provoking: "The conflict between love and law has made Di Renjie's heart feel a great impact. Di Renjie himself may have doubted in his heart, what is the meaning of his firm law? In the process of being repeatedly questioned by himself and others, he gradually confirmed his choice. ”
It is worth mentioning that Diao Xiaoguan, the main character in "Chasing the Murderer in the Desert", will be played by Zhang Ruoyun, and how he will play a gray-toned character has also become one of the highlights of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty".
Chang'an City turned out to be made by AI? "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty".The art director revealed that there was more.
After the launch of "The Case of Datang Di Gong", the case of Datang Di Gong in Chang'an City was actually made by AI on Weibo hot search, causing heated discussions.
Wu Zetian's gorgeous palace lobby, Chang'an's lively market alleys, and the simple and tidy houses of the people are ......According to Zhao Hai, the art director of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", the audience can see very rich scenes of all walks of life in various periods of the Tang Dynasty in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty".
To be more specific, it is the division of vertical and horizontal scenes. Vertical means the division of class regulation, each dynasty has the characteristics of each dynasty, the state of each class of royal power, commoners, and warlocks is different, and the corresponding implementation scenarios are also different. For example, gold is not something that ordinary people can use, and the colors that are really implemented to the common people and the market class are mostly gray, brown and other more primitive colors, without too much decoration and carving.
Horizontal means the division of regional scenes, because of the changes in Di Renjie's position and tasks, he walked from the desolate and vast desert to the humid and mild Jiangnan, solving cases while traveling, in Zhao Hai's words: "It is equivalent to a road movie." ”
To this end, the crew specially built a complete 70-meter-long ancient Tang Dynasty ship in a 1:1 scale in a studio with an area of 6,000 square meters. In order to achieve the effect, the crew invited other physical special effects teams and famous domestic photographer Yang Tao to bless the shooting, and Zhao Hai also provided a lot of ideas and resources during the filming, including some content that can make the machine move and make the photography maneuver: "All the scenes on the ship are not completed through CG special effects, they all rely on real scenes and physical special effects, and some waves and naval battles on the ship are completed in the studio." ”
