The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty
Text丨Old sack
The Douban score of "The Case of Tang Di Gong" came out, and it was expected to be poor, 57 points, below the passing line, this score is really a bit stretched, even if it quickly rose by 0 after the score1 point, 5The 8-point situation is also very embarrassing. 
You must know that last year's drama of the same type "Tang Dynasty Legends" had a score of 8 points, and now it is stable at 79 points, it is a masterpiece to have such a score in the same type of costume suspense. 
The Tang Di Gong Case should not even fail to pass, because the public's perception of Di Renjie is still very strong, through Tsui Hark's movies about Di Renjie, plus the TV series "Detective Di Renjie", in fact, this character IP has a mass base. 
So how did "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" end up in such a situation? Let me break them all down. First of all, the plot is indeed not in the right rhythm, in conscience, the rhythm of the first few episodes is still okay, from the cleverness and wisdom of creating the character of Di Renjie, to the strangeness of Di Renjie's father's suicide, it can be seen that the main creator wants to tell the story well, and the main line is Di Renjie's investigation of why his father died back then, and the subplot is one after another intertwined cases, which led to the crisis under the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. 
But after the court controversy involved in the first case and the political instability of Empress Wu's government, the plot developed in the direction of "crazy drama". 
The second case is about derailment, emotional entanglement, copyright and other issues, the pattern is much smaller than the first case, not only has nothing to do with the political situation laid down in the first case, but also there is no tense atmosphere at all, even the "four paint screens" to kill his wife The ghost did not scare the audience, and only two words can be said: failure. 
And the second case is just an appetizer, followed by the third case that is even more tasteless, this case is not only not nervous, you don't even know what it's talking about, there is no logical line, the editing is also very confusing, after watching it, I am confused, when the case is one-third, the audience can guess who ** is, it is really boring, and I am so angry that I have to abandon the drama. 
And then there is the inexplicable emotional line. Di Renjie and Cao An's relationship line is really speechless, I put up with the whole emotional line of workplace dramas, family dramas, and modern suspense dramas, in Di Renjie's suspense dramas, you still insert some useless emotional lines, which are really unnecessary, and the emotional lines are not foreshadowed, and they are inexplicable.
If it is said that the minor tune in Bingzhou made Di Renjie pay some attention to Cao An, Cao An's identity made Di Renjie more protective of her, and there was some friendship in the contact during the process of solving the case, but these are not enough to support it to become love, it can only be said that Di Renjie has a good face and fell in love with Cao An at first sight. Finally, there is the acting skills of the actors, Zhou Yiwei's eyes are really big, every time you meet your eyes in advance, you can Zhou Zhouwei, you can be a strong acting school, how can you perform so superficially, and take out the strength when filming "Embroidered Spring Knife"!
Moreover, in the shaping of Di Renjie, it is difficult for people to have feelings of admiration and admiration, because Zhou Zhouwei feels like he is pretending to be forced, as if he is telling the audience: My Di Renjie's eyes are rulers! There is no advanced reasoning, and there is no logic that can stand up to scrutiny, and even the third case is still ** himself exposed, there are more dead people, and there are only a few left, and werewolves don't kill with such a play.
Di Renjie is more like a businessman in the play, a performative personality, he likes to show his intelligence in front of others, and he is also not in the middle and Europe in the service, which may also have something to do with the fact that the original author is a Dutch diplomat, but according to the fans of the original book, this drama changed the original work and ruined Di Renjie's charm. In addition, Di Renjie in Zhou Weiwei is indeed a little exaggerated, so the overall senses will appear that Di Renjie is more temperamental, and he is more suitable for some more Jianghu roles, rather than ***
At the beginning of the play, Di Renjie was uninterested in officialdom because of his father's affairs, he refused to be an official, and just wanted to be an idle tourist, but he encountered the "Phoenix Seal Lost Case", which involved the death of his friend, and he only wanted to seek justice for his friend, but in the process of solving the case, he found that the loss of the phoenix seal was nothing more than a good show directed and acted by the queen.
Therefore, the first case is arranged very well, because Di Renjie has a new understanding of the queen, and he also understands the queen's ulterior motives, and he knows that the queen is a decisive monarch. That's why he decided to work for the queen in the future.
At that time, I still had expectations for this drama, at least it had a hook in the original case, which not only let the audience see Di Renjie's sensitivity and persistence in solving the case, but also let the audience see the queen's ruthlessness and methods.
But after that, it really can't be saved if it gets worse and worse, but the original work has a score of 9 in Douban books1's masterpiece, it's really a bit undeserved to be filmed like this.
With the same type of theme, I still look forward to "Tang Dynasty Tricks 2" this year!
