"It is worthy of the drama that I have booked for most of the year, and the most anticipated drama ...... winter vacation"Zhou Zhouwei, Zhang Jiayi. The old drama bones are piled up, and the absolute guarantee is ......"I ran to search, and it turned out to be Di Renjie written by the Dutch, which is ...... interestingOn the evening of February 6, "The Case of Tang Di Gong" was broadcast exclusively on Youku, and it landed on CCTV eight sets simultaneously. As soon as it was broadcast, it attracted many netizens to swipe the screen. As the top of the list of "Tiger Pounce 2024 Most Anticipated Dramas", the suspenseful and brain-burning reasoning and detective genre has attracted the attention of many male fans, and fans of the original book are also looking forward to it. As of the launch of the show, the number of reservations on the whole network has exceeded 8.4 million. 
After the premiere, "The Case of Tang Di Gong" quickly became the top of the "Suspense Drama Popularity List" on Youku, and entered the top five of the "TV Drama Popularity List", with a popularity value of more than 6,000 on the site. Undoubtedly, "The Case of Tang Di Gong" has taken the lead in detonating the competition curtain of the Spring Festival file on the ** platform. What is the appeal of Di Renjie's story? What is the difference between Chinese detectives from a Western perspective? 
The new version of Di Gong presents the thickness of the male protagonist Di Gong, that is, Di Renjie. It was first recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Old Tang Book", and often appeared as a scholar who "committed a direct admonition", and it is difficult to see the personality. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the public case ** "Di Gong's Case" came out, and Di Renjie appeared for the first time as a literary protagonist and turned into a detective master. The Dutch diplomat Gao Luopei pushed the image of Di Renjie's detective case to a new height. The charm of Di Renjie's character, the first episode of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" gives the answer: both civil and military, affectionate and righteous. As soon as he appeared, Di Renjie and Steward Hong had just a few words of dialogue, and he pushed out his character image of traveling all over the world and seeing extraordinary. Subsequently, the compact plot mode was opened, and in the face of the arrest of the pearl theft official mansion, Di Renjie relied on his amazing memory and reasoning ability to help the scientific students of the inn get rid of suspicion one by one and win the respect of everyone. As he rescued his childhood classmates, participated in the scientific expedition, and fell into the theft of Wu Zetian's phoenix seal, the main line of solving the case was opened. Due to the large number of film and television hits, Di Renjie's detective image is not unfamiliar to the audience. However, unlike previous related works, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" rarely takes Di Renjie's entry into Beijing as the starting point of the narrative. Judging from the preview, the whole drama runs through his journey from youth to old age and traveling around the country to detectives. From Bai Ding to Quanchen, Di Renjie's initial political choice influenced his life. Such a time span gives the characters room to grow and makes it easier for the audience to empathize. 
Different from the old book of the Qing Dynasty "The Case of Di Gong", Gao Luopei wrote **, which not only has the Western-style "Sherlock Holmes" technique, but also retains the state of traditional Chinese detective dramas. Since the advent of the "Tang Di Gong Case" series**, there have been many versions in English, Japanese, Dutch, French, and Chinese, which have swept the world and have been prosperous for a long time. The popularity of this ** has made Di Renjie an artistic image of a detective alongside characters such as Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Wise Kogoro and Kazuki Kaneda. Although it is an adaptation, the premiere of "Phoenix Seal Case" is an original unit. Taking this case as a starting point, Di Renjie began to emerge, and made political choices, embarking on the road of truth-seeking detectives, which opened a causal relationship with his eventual becoming prime minister. "The Phoenix Seal Case" not only shaped Di Renjie's background, but also built the granularity of the background of the times, the main characters, and the development of the secondary line one by one, from the perspective of building the plot, it can be described as steady and steady. Judging from the official announcement poster, the follow-up will continue to unlock the eight major units of "Screen Case", "* Strange Case", "Legend of the Rain Master", "Red Pavilion", "Chasing the Murderer in the Desert", "Empty Gourd", "Chasing the Murderer in the Desert", "Chirping of the Skylark" and "Chaoyun Library". For dramas that adopt the narrative mode of unit dramas, it is easy to form their own scattered content styles, but judging from the premiere episodes, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" cleverly binds the unit story to the growth and destiny of the protagonist, giving Di Renjie's image a thickness. 
Gao Luopei is a sinologist, but the background of the creation of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is general ancient China. But in the TV series, it aggravates the color of Tang culture. During Di Renjie's period, the Silk Road opened up the spread and integration of Chinese and Western cultures. In the premiere episodes, a large number of elements of the Western Regions can be seen, showing a rich and diverse sense of cultural integration. For example, the Han and Hu people in the inn live together, and the Hu people also participate in the imperial examination, and the important clues provided by the Hu people when solving the case are full of the atmosphere of the era in which the story itself is located. Di Renjie's repeated emphasis on the Tang Dynasty is the earliest complete legal code in China. Revised in the period of Tang Gaozong, it was called Tang Law Shuyi, also known as Yonghui Law Shu. The follow-up drama "The Legend of the Rain Master" unit inherited classical Chinese culture. The image of the rain master red pine nuts in "The Legend of the Rain Master" is enlarged in the play after the verification of historical materials in the ancient classic "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in China. Historically, Di Renjie has served as a county magistrate in the southeast, northwest and northwest, which is also reflected in the play. According to the trailer, according to the changes in the venue, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" has special settings for different regions - Lanfang in the northwest uses adobe bricks from the northwest to build the scene, presenting the rough and simple texture of the northwest; Penglai is close to the sea, and through vegetation and other elements, it creates a differentiated setting. The combination of multiple regional elements, the way of traveling and investigating the case while traveling is not common in TV series. 
When adapting, the first job is to sort out and merge all the cases, and then select. In terms of subject matter and style, there are more vivid and love life-related cases, as well as more realistic social cases, as well as ghostly and stylized cases. Each type will also be retained, but will be split and merged accordingly according to the length of the original case. Screenwriter Jing Yu admitted frankly that in the face of the million-word content of the original work, there must be a trade-off. But the essence of the original work of "The world is impermanent, and righteousness is eternal" is the unchanging background of this drama. In the end, "The Biography of Tang Di Gong" presented nine stories, and "Phoenix Seal Case", which was broadcast on February 6, was the first to appear as an original unit. Although it is the Di Gong detective case from the perspective of Westerners, in the process of film and television, the main creator allows the audience to feel the humanity of the Tang Dynasty and the charm of traditional Chinese culture through multi-dimensional perspectives such as vision, plot, and character design through these sincere details. Between "change" and "unchanged", the root and soul of culture itself are grasped, and from this point of view, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is undoubtedly a success. 
The whole drama backbone team is carrying the drama one by one" More than 17 well-known actors participated, and Zhang Jiayi was willing to match! When the list of ultra-luxury actors of "The Case of Tang Di Gong" was officially announced, it aroused the attention and heated discussions of countless netizens. After all, you can carry any one of them, and you can carry the drama. In the premiere of "The Phoenix Seal Case", around the power struggle, the teacher played by Zhang Jiayi seemed to stay out of the matter, but in the end he became one of the driving forces behind the blackening of the martial arts. 
This character has a high level of complexity, and as a teacher he is a moral model, but out of political ideals, he ultimately chooses to stand on the opposite side of the martial queen. can't use the traditional sense of good and bad to define everyone in the play, which is the success of the character creation of this play. In the follow-up unit "Chasing the Murderer in the Desert", Diao Xiaoguan played by Zhang Ruoyun also follows the complexity of human nature and opens up multiple dimensions for us to interpret the characters. For the leading actor Zhou Yiwei, the first thing to face is not the strength of the drama bones, but the classic reconstruction. About Di Renjie, Liang Guanhua, Zhao Youting, and Andy Lau have all created classic screen images. The sentence "Yuan Fang, what do you think", the image of a pure civil official has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", Di Renjie is a lonely hero who is both civil and military, and one-third of the fighting scenes in the whole play subvert everyone's perception of the traditional Di Renjie. Judging from Zhou Zhouwei's current performance, it has performed the sense of belief of Qing officials, and also reshaped Di Renjie's new screen image. "There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people", and the process of constantly reshaping "Di Renjie" is also an opportunity to re-examine traditional culture. Gao Luopei's ** makes Di Renjie's image a household name. But film and television make the characters' blood really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. 
As Netflix's first Chinese costume suspense drama, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" will land in nearly 200 countries and regions around the world. Youku also announced that it will give away the TV broadcast rights of the Dutch "Tang Di Gong Case", and at the same time, produce a Dutch version for the audience. "The intentions of film and television can help Di Renjie's IP image, the culture of the Tang Dynasty in China, at least allow the audience to have a further and deeper understanding of the distant oriental country in this play, and to be able to move forward a little bit, which is our little pride. The leading actor Zhou Zhouwei said in an interview with **. In the future, when "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is the best in the world, I believe that "Di Renjie" will bring the audience a new cultural experience. "The world is impermanent, and righteousness and reason are eternal", the wisdom of ancient China will be comparable to the world.
