The costume suspense detective TV series "The Case of Tang Di Gong" has been exclusively on the Youku platform on February 6. In the context of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie once again stepped into the suspense whirlpool. This drama is based on Gao Luopei's detective of the same name**, and even the screenwriter of "Tang Dynasty Legends" has expressed great expectations for it.
Di Renjie is a name that is not unfamiliar to most Chinese, and his name has even influenced three generations of grandparents. Especially in the pinnacle work "Detective Di Renjie" directed by Qian Yanqiu in 2004, the sentence "Yuan Fang, what do you think" still sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Before Zhuyu, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" also faced unprecedented expectations and oppression. In this "Tang Empire", how many people have had such and such legendary experiences? The story revolves around characters we know well, such as Di Renjie and Cao An, as well as the loyal servant Hong Liang and the guard Ma Rong Qiaotai. In this suspenseful plot, each character has their own unique personality charm and distinct personality. The work is based on nine mysterious cases as clues to solve, each with its own unique structure and theme, which not only makes the storyline more gripping, but the continuous plot reversals also make the plot more complex and elusive, always bringing unexpected surprises to the audience.
From a strict point of view, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" reflects more of Di Renjie's growth experience. In the process of solving the case, Di Renjie experienced countless difficulties and challenges, but he never gave up the pursuit of justice. From the moment he began to hold an official position, he traveled all over the country, successfully solved many difficult cases, severely punished corruption, defended coastal defense, eliminated underworld forces, maintained law and people's tranquility, and finally solved the mystery of his life experience. Di Renjie gradually discovered that behind each case there is a bizarre history, and these histories are inextricably linked to his life experience. A series of detective and decryption activities are more likely to mold the audience into characters in the play.
After the recent plot update, I noticed that there were some disagreements between the barrage and audience evaluations on multiple platforms, but if you look closely, these are all carefully planned by the crew.
Di Renjie is proficient in martial arts, not because he is flawed, but because he has received extra points.
In "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", Di Renjie's combat ability is the most surprising, most people think that Di Renjie is a character who needs to be protected, which is also the ** of the sentence "Yuan Fang, what do you think". In fact, Li Shimin in the play does not have any particularly powerful martial arts, but is just a "weak scholar". Surprisingly, Di Renjie in the play shows excellent martial arts, which does have a deep historical background.
From some historical materials, we can infer that Di Renjie in history is outstanding in literature and martial arts, and in the background of the filming of the series, Di Renjie is also a strong martial artist. Di Renjie is athletic, not only able to speak well, but also able to solve difficult cases by himself. This is actually a very easy logic to understand. If Di Renjie didn't have a strong military support when he first became a **, how could he be sent around to solve complex cases?In the later stage, Di Renjie has become famous as a detective, if he is not proficient in martial arts, how can he ensure his safety?Di Renjie's insight into the facts of the case and his martial arts complement each other, and in the face of sudden crises, he is not only able to speak well, but also to resolve crises by force, so that the rule of law can be better enforced. If you had known that this was not the current society under the rule of law, and a Di Renjie who was proficient in martial arts would make many things reasonable.
A good theatrical work needs to be meticulously polished, revealing its true meaning through multi-layered appearances.
While faithfully reproducing the history and the original work, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" has also made some innovative adjustments, and the face-painting of Di Renjie's image is just the beginning. Di Renjie knew that this case was unusual, and savored the housekeeper's words and deeds. Behind the acacia flowers that bloom on the housekeeper's head, there is a hidden story of "the acacia flowers are yellow, and the children are busy", which echoes the scene of the acacia flowers conducting the imperial examination in the open season;Di Renjie took the admission ticket, and his heart was clear. The "floating ticket" that Di Renjie received from the housekeeper Hong Liang actually refers to the ancient admission ticket, which is very delicate in terms of service.
In the first four episodes, when Qiao Tai and Ma Rong gambled on the street, the housekeeper made a bet with Di Renjie on whether to participate in the imperial examination, the queen showed the dice in front of Di Renjie, and the scene where Di Renjie was about to go to Penglai, and the repeated strengthening of the dice became one of the key clues in the case.
After all, Di Renjie does not look at us from God's point of view, so during the filming process, we need to start from the perspective of the characters in the play and carefully design the moving line. The various coincidences that the audience sees often require a lot of time and effort in the play, and the progress of the plot is also very ingenious.
On the whole, the plot design of this drama is quite novel, and many subtleties have been thought out deeply, giving people the feeling that "you may feel scary when you think deeply". Each case is like a labyrinth that invites people to explore deeply, and there is no telling when new surprises are waiting to be revealed. As other cases unfold, the large story map may become even more engaging.
