Xi Da Puben's program "The Case of Tang Di Gong" has finally begun**.
This costume suspense TV series continues to set new records in the reservation data on Youku and Weibo platforms, and it is undoubtedly a work that the majority of audiences are looking forward to.
This series has 160 famous actors such as Zhou Yiwei, Wang Likun, Zhong Chuxi, Zhang Jiayi, Zhang Ruoyun, etc., forming a star lineup.
Although everyone is familiar with it, this is really a new approach.
The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty is based on the eponymous ** created by Gao Luopei, a famous sinologist and diplomat.
Di Renjie is not only famous, but also an outstanding detective overseas, and his work "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" has made an indispensable contribution to him.
This original book skillfully combines the essence of China's traditional public cases ** and Western detective reasoning**, mainly describing the famous Tang Dynasty minister Di Renjie in the early days of his tenure, he successfully solved a number of strange cases in various places, severely punished**, guarded coastal defense, cracked down on underworld, obeyed the law, ensured public tranquility, and in the process solved the mystery of his own life experience, showing his legendary life.
The TV series "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" adopts the form of a unit drama, and its core content revolves around the 9 cases of the Phoenix Seal Case, the Screen Case, the ** Strange Case, the Empty Gourd, the Legend of the Rain Master, the Desert Chasing the Murderer, the Red Pavilion, the Skylark Chirp and the Chaoyun Library.
The work is characterized by its strong reasoning ability, fast pace, and suspenseful narrative style with high information density, while also containing tense and sharp action scenes in large scenes of various terrains and spaces, which successfully capture the audience's attention.
The suspense and bizarre are all pulled to the brim.
First of all, let's share the viewing experience of the first four episodes of "The Phoenix Seal Case".
The rhythm of this drama is very tight, and it has experienced many turns and interlacing of light and dark, and the climax is endless. It's really refreshing.
Taking Di Renjie (played by Zhou Yiwei) as an example, the initial image of the detective is not the ** case or the Fengyin case, but more like a theft involving hors d'oeuvres, all of which happened in an inn full of scientific research students.
In the register, Di Renjie successfully identified the real culprits by analyzing the personalities, habits, and motivations of various characters, and using the method of elimination. The "real murderer" is a misunderstood character, and the "real murderer" is a character with a distinct personality and a certain legend, so the plot kicks off at the beginning. The series begins with a detailed description of the social and cultural background of the Tang Dynasty, showing the core features of the series in a concise and efficient way.
For example, Di Renjie's confrontation with Changsun Qing on the street is equally impressive.
Along the way, Changsun Qing felt the great harm caused by the heavenly fire to the people of Chang'an, so he knelt down on the street and began his performance.
Di Renjie also showed his talent at critical moments and added more scenes.
He described in detail the experiences of the burning of sycamore trees, the burning of Jushui Towers, and the burning of silkworm farmers, and deduced that the next Tianhuo incident might be related to the surname record. He also deliberately provoked Changsun Qing, claiming: "If the heavenly fire no longer works, then there will be no heavenly fire at all, everything is man-made." ”
The camera layout here is quite cleverly designed, starting from Kang's high viewpoint and then switching to the objective and Di Renjie's viewpoint.
Di Renjie has already clarified Kang's point of view, and cleverly arranged hints of "cooperation" in front of the camera, making the narration both quick and efficient.
The rapidity of the pace is manifested not only in the drastic changes in the storyline, but also in the dramatic shift in the characters' notions of good and evil.
For example, from Di Renjie's point of view, observe the teacher Wei Wuji (played by Zhang Jiayi), who cares about him a lot.
The original mission was to protect the Wei Mansion, but as the plot quickly changed, Wei Shi's hands were shocked by the flames, which shocked Di Renjie.
Wei Shi's real views and beliefs are very different from his previous image descriptions.
The TV series "The Case of the Phoenix Seal" establishes a tightly connected element of suspense.
In the plot of each episode, there is a series of dark lines that act as a link, and these dark lines constantly attract the attention of the audience. From the atmosphere of scientific investigation at the beginning to the subsequent various Tianhuo incidents, the true face behind the Fengyin case was gradually revealed, showing its firm character of digging deeply. The methods of torture and interrogation in "New Tang Dynasty Law" are repeatedly interpreted in the play. They also initially assembled a four-member detective team, and finally focused all the blame on Empress Wu, thus exposing power struggles, social traditions, and complex human hearts.
Impressively, the bizarre events in the film demonstrate the aesthetic concept of mystery and horror in ancient China.
The show presents a variety of thrilling plots and a variety of mysterious death scenes.
In the Fengyin case, burning or ** is only a minor problem, but in "The Screen Case", the situation of evil ghosts is even more serious.
Even if the plot is not fully unfolded, the audience can feel it from the trailer. The eerie atmosphere was creepy, and it was shocking whether it was the corpses on the ground or the mountain of dead men in the wilderness.
These frightening elements intersect with the mysterious case, creating a suffocatingly eerie atmosphere that is enough to inspire higher expectations for the plot.
A new interpretation of "Di Gong".
Di Renjie, a prominent minister of the Tang Dynasty, was widely praised for his integrity, courage to speak, and excellent case-handling skills.
As a leader in China's detective industry, Di Renjie has been brilliantly portrayed in many film and television works.
The TV series "The Legend of Di Renjie's Case" broadcast in 1987 and the "Detective Di Renjie" series that premiered in 2004 were warmly welcomed by the audience and received high ratings on Douban. The two works are directed by renowned director Maggie Cheung and written by Hong Kong film and television superstars Sun Chengzheng and Leung Koon-wah respectively. Sun Chengzheng's literati version of Di Gong and Liang Guanhua's intimate version of Di Gong have their own characteristics, and they both create classic images of Di Gong that match the characteristics of their respective eras.
The new version of Di Renjie broke his traditional image and showed a new style and temperament.
Di Renjie's observation is very keen, whether it is in the inn thief catch, ** case or phoenix seal case, whether it is the abacus grease, the small military card, the clothes spike, the wine bag or the leather rope that binds the book, he has shown extraordinary memory and reasoning ability.
Through in-depth case investigation and excellent ability to solve crimes, he has created a convincing detective image.
However, this is only the foundational element needed to shape the character.
More importantly, Zhou Zhouwei destroyed the purity of Di Gong Zhongzheng and brought us more opportunities.
First of all, every movement and expression of Di Gong in "The Case of the Phoenix Seal" exudes a distinctive tone and a personality full of humor. When Di Gong handles cases, he often does it with humor. The plea he uttered for the deserter showed his deep affection; On the streets, Changsun Qing is enraged, and this scene shows the wit, courage and wit of the characters; The humility and embarrassment at a banquet show his attitude towards himself. In addition, he appears very casual in every appearance and exit, which further amplifies his uninhibited personality.
In the work "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", Di Renjie's character will show more flesh and blood and more delicate human feelings.
Moreover, the public's impression of Di Renjie is a character who has no weaknesses and will not be involved in the whirlpool of feelings.
However, the appearance of Cao An's character and the character's pre-historical description may have some emotional connection with Di Renjie.
Cao An, played by Wang Likun, is a mysterious woman with multiple identities and unique skills, and the mystery of her identity and her relationship with Di Renjie have a lot of room for development.
Zhong Chuxi's role as a martial artist also shows the demeanor of "towering between the eyebrows, and the cheeks are full of brilliance". Yang Guifei, who she played in "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", portrayed this character vividly. The royal authority and strategic wisdom she showed afterwards, as well as the strategic duel with Di Renjie, are all full of expectations.
He appears as a young man, in a complex and changeable environment, the workaholic of that era and Di Renjie, the king of volumes, their growth and transformation have become important topics of communication with modern audiences.
It has the atmosphere of a drama.
In 2019, the popular broadcast of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" brought a new milestone to the artistic creation of Tang Dynasty drama.
The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty shows unique ingenuity in the design of the scenes and lenses of the movie, and the hardware facilities have also been fully improved.
Di Renjie's reconnaissance activities were not only limited to Chang'an City, but also extended to the border areas of the Tang Dynasty. Di Renjie crossed the snow-capped mountains, trekked the sea, drove the ancient ship of the sea, and crossed the desert of the Western Regions. Therefore, the scene design of this drama includes multiple environments such as snow-capped mountains, seas, ancient ships in the sea, and deserts in the Western Regions, making the scenes of the whole play very grand, spectacular, and bizarre.
It is evident through the lens that the series emphasizes the cinematic visual effects, and its images present a quaint and aesthetic texture, successfully reproducing the hues of ancient candles, which is different from those costume dramas full of grinding filters, and it pursues a plot presentation closer to history.
In the current costume TV series, there are relatively few works with real historical backgrounds, and there are even fewer dramas with historical drama characteristics. While pursuing the typology of the narrative, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" also pays attention to the rigor of the production to maintain the characteristics of historical dramas.
It's not just the current production and plot, it's reflected in its deeper meaning.
The work mainly focuses on the whole process of solving the case, and every investigation link is full of unavoidable and complex plots, which makes people think deeply about the answer.
Whether it is because of the entanglement of power, money, and feelings, or because of the deep affection for the family and country, every detail has been deeply studied and verified. An official document swept through the Yellow Turban Rebellion and skillfully depicted the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty. On the basis of maintaining the vivid imagination, ingenious conception and in-depth understanding of Chinese society, this series has added a new unit story, covering many fields such as justice, politics and criminal law in the Tang Dynasty, with rich cultural connotations.
The drama does not show the characteristics of a fictional dynasty, so it shows a realistic style in many contents.
Life is impermanent, righteousness and reason are eternal" forms the core spirit of the original work and the foundation of the adaptation, and it is also the tone of this play.
The power struggle and secret struggle in the post-martial era also reveal the complex and unpredictable character of human beings in history.
As those classic dialogues in the play reveal, Di Gong represents a new generation of young people who are energetic and innovative, while traditional political parties are worried about new policies, which often mean social upheaval, chaos, bloodshed and tension;
There are strange creatures, there are real things, there are emotional entanglements, it's all a power struggle. ”
There are certain things that you can see because someone wants you to see them. ”
Just because she's a woman, you resent her even more than him"...
The shocking power of these dialogues makes people experience the heaviness of history in shock.
In recent years, suspenseful detective genre narratives with the characteristics of historical dramas have become quite scarce.
"The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" just makes up for this shortcoming, it integrates the cool drama elements of the emerging suspense detective genre, and also takes into account the atmosphere and thick feeling of the historical drama. This work not only shows the grandeur of history, but also incorporates the complexity of human nature into the plot. On the premise of respecting history, new perspectives and elements are integrated, so that the audience can also think deeply about various aspects of history.
The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty is a multi-layered legendary drama that integrates temples, rivers and lakes, justice, politics, criminal law and folk tales. And in the Tang Dynasty, how was China's charm, cruelty, and ingenuity revealed, and how did nature, the world, and human feelings be integrated? As a historical figure, what kind of personality charm and personality charm does Di Gong have? How did Di Renjie gradually mature and transform in terms of strategy, layout and integrity?
It's all exciting.
Let's share the joyful atmosphere during the Spring Festival and the popular repertoire of the new year!
