The suspense drama market is hot, but costume suspense dramas are still not lively. A "Tales of the Tang Dynasty" set off a boom in Chinese-style suspense, but it is a pity that the costume detective has not been launched for a long time. The audience waited left and right, and only then did they wait for the excellent production, star lineup, and well-known IP of "The Case of Tang Di Gong". 
At the beginning of February, "The Case of Tang Di Gong" came as scheduled, but the broadcast of this drama did not have the expected splash, but it was vigorous. In terms of data, the luxurious lineup of "The Case of Tang Di Gong" can't even match the silent broadcast of "Love for a Long Time". In terms of word-of-mouth, the one-star negative reviews on the screen are all complaints, some scolding "This is not Di Renjie, this is Monday oil", and some complaining about the IQ of the characters and the logic of the plot. 
I said that the market for costume suspense dramas has been so sluggish, you viewers don't pick and choose, taste a few episodes, I am silent. Come back to your strength, listen to me give you a detailed analysis of why "The Case of Tang Di Gong" should be scolded. 
01 The plot is magically changed, there is no logic, and the plot depends on the halo of the protagonist "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" After all, it is supported by the plot of the original work, and no matter how much you shoot, you should not go to the brainless and low-level suspense route. But the screenwriter has his own ideas, and he has made drastic changes to the classic IP, and the cases in the original book have been hastily brought over, and the meaningless X screen is watery and watery. 
In the first episode, Di Renjie, who has no fame or status, talks eloquently in front of dignitaries and officials, like an emperor who has a private visit, he is so angry that he looks like he has a posture of "listening to the arrangement" in the audience, what? For the sake of the male protagonist's halo, he didn't care about the feudal rank? This is not a modern society that exalts freedom and equality, do you see if Di Renjie can interject half a sentence. 
That's it, the suspects in the case include hundreds of people, Di Renjie said a few words, didn't do anything, flipped through the roster, turned his eyes and found out the suspect, is this a detective or a mind reader, and now it is not popular to deify the protagonist. 
Di Renjie's archetype is perceptive, cautious and meticulous, and is known for his excellent case-solving and trial skills, and he relies on his brains and evidence to handle cases, not fantasy and speculation. And the portrayal of Di Renjie in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is pure bluffing, the brain-burning reasoning process is simplified into a variety of fast-paced camera switches, and the surprisingly winning brain IQ has become a squint of eyes around the Zhou Dynasty and raise his arms "**It's you". 
As for the process and evidence, it can only be said that this version of Di Renjie is a little lucky. 02 is carrying private goods, the supporting roles are boring, and the audience can only fast-forward and say that it is "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", but the current plot trend is about to become "The Legend of Ma Rong". The female version of Ma Rong played by Ling Zi can be called a plot failure, her acting skills are embarrassing, and she can only stare at her, Ma Rong is obviously a man in the original book, and I don't know why the director chose an actress who can see the gender at a glance to portray. 
Besides, Ma Rong is a strong martial artist and very lustful, although he was born as a robber, he has also become Di Renjie's confidant. But now that Ma Rong has been sexually transferred, the plot seems to be like Ma Rong is a nymphomaniac against Di Renjie every day, is it possible that the director wants to replicate Tsui Hark's undefeated success? As a result, it completely overturned. 
In addition, the Empress Wu played by Zhong Chuxi is also confusing. Wu Meiniang is charming and lovely, she relied on her beauty to capture the hearts of the people in the early stage, and after she successfully ascended the throne, she was ambitious, playing with power and scheming in the palm of her hand, and the city government was very deep. 
But Zhong Chuxi, the male appearance is obvious, the heroic spirit is too heavy, and the huge illegal building above his head does not have the aura of an empress. The moment she appeared in the examination room, she was like the top card with a lot of flowers, and the ruthlessness of the female emperor was all supported by hard support, and she was counted down in all versions of Wu Zetian's screen image. Seeing the scenes of Ma Rong and Wu Zetian, the audience had to abandon the drama in addition to fast forward. Of course, the most unacceptable thing in the whole drama is always Zhou Yiwei.
Squeezing his eyebrows, his acting skills are greasy, and mixing into the powerful faction is my clumsiness, in fact, the portrayal of Zhou Zhou on the screen has always been controversial with too much force, just because his acting career is often movies and TV series with a good reputation, so the audience always feels that he belongs to the camp of the powerful faction. In fact, whether it was the previous "Shangyang Fu" or the current "Tang Di Gong Case", Zhou Yiwei's performance was very bad.
After the camera turned to the young Di Renjie, it was the bearded Zhou Zhouwei, his face was full of wrinkles, and his image was completely empty, he was said to be a sloppy yuppie but more like a middle-aged rough man, and he gave the audience a stick in terms of image. As for the shaping of the characters, it is even more deliberate.
The audience's impression of Di Renjie is upright and fair, and the shaping of Zhou Yiwei is deliberately moving closer to the frivolous and casual direction, which is very innovative, but it is indeed too strong. In the plot, there are too many small movements on Zhou Zhouwei's expression, frowning, picking his eyes, and when he is handling the case, his face is full of "brother, this can't fascinate you", and when he is in a good mood, he squeezes his eyebrows, pouts, frowns, and has a lewd frivolity in his eyes, like a greasy uncle staring at the coming and going of beautiful women on the side of the road.
There is a passage in the plot where Di Renjie knelt in the court, he was suspected of arson and murder, and he was away from prison. can look at Zhou Yiwei who is trying to argue with reason in this scene, holding his arms and stretching his neck throughout the whole process, shrugging his shoulders while reading lines, for a moment I really feel that Zhou Yiwei is playing the Abdumaimaiti version of Di Renjie.
He understands the charm of Di Renjie's role too well, and does not let go of any detail to create the handsome and free of the character, but he ignores the handsome and unaware that he is handsome, and he knows that handsome is oil.
In addition, the original sound conditions of Zhou Zhouwei are really good, the sentence breaks are comfortable, the rhythm is smooth, the speech is clear, and there is a scientific foundation at a glance. It's just that in some key handsome lines, he often lowers his voice and forces himself to show his masculine charm, and the thick smoke bubble sound at this moment makes his performance more deliberate.
As the shaper of the soul characters in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", the overturn of Zhou Yiwei is equivalent to the overturning of the whole drama. In "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", Zhou Yiwei exploded his acting skills and played new tricks, and apart from his performance, the whole drama did not have any highlights that could really retain the audience.
It's a pity that "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" has gathered an excellent cast, Zhang Jiayi, You Yongzhi, Wang Likun, and Zhang Ruoyun have not made much effort, but they basically can't escape the fate of the TV series hitting the streets. Finally, what do you think of the broadcast performance of "The Case of Tang Di Gong"? Can you accept the interpretation of Monday Wai?
