Among the many domestic suspense dramas, there is a theme that is loved by the audience, that is, works that combine suspense and era elements. Dramas such as "Hurricane", "The Long Season", and "The Hidden Corner" are all set in the background of the era, adding a mysterious color to the suspense story and being loved by the audience.
At present, "The Three Teams" is on the air, in addition to the thrilling process of chasing the murderer, it has also triggered the audience's full memories of that era. The architecture and clothing in the play are very much in line with the setting set in the late 90s and early 20th century, and you can even see the presence of "Killing Matt".
Do you feel your blood boiling in front of the screen?
The Three Brigades undoubtedly did a very good job in the details, and every character in the play was portrayed very realistically, making people feel immersive. In the past, we used to say that "there are no poor people in domestic dramas", but now it seems that "The Three Teams" may make everyone change their views on this.
Clothing, food, housing and transportation, the portrayal of the four aspects is indispensable, revealing a person's true state. Take clothes as an example, even if the two brothers Wang Dayong robbed money and killed people, they would not have the opportunity to buy new clothes for themselves on the way to escape.
They have been wearing the same undershirt, the collar is yellow and black, it looks like they have been worn for a long time, the fabric is loose, and the color is not visible, which is a true portrayal of their poverty.
Wang Eryong wore a coat that he bought in the closet of his sixth son's house, and his mother was also very simple, wearing a shabby vest, which was already pilling but was reluctant to change it.
The little granddaughter was dressed in old clothes, and two puppies were painted on the knees of her trousers, which seemed to be deliberately decorated. However, those older viewers can probably guess that it was because the child was naughty, and after breaking his pants, he patched and sewn them with a ** pattern.
Coupled with the pair of dusty and faded small cloth shoes, people can't help but feel pity when they look at it.
On the way to escape, the Wang brothers unexpectedly met their sixth son, a friend who was also in a bad situation. There was nothing to entertain at home, not even a pack of instant noodles, so I had to cook a bowl of somen in clear soup with two green vegetable leaves, a simple way of hospitality.
Although Er Yong muttered dissatisfiedly, Liuzi did not refute, but silently peeled garlic for the two of them on the side.
Those who have had a hard time can barely make ends meet, even with only a small amount of food. Cheng Bing is a case in point, who spent 10 years in prison and was now unable to find a job.
or riding an electric car with a bun for a few dollars in his hand; Or sit on the side of the road with a box of fried noodles in your hand. Looking around, there is a bitter taste.
In the drama "Housing", the problem of housing reveals the helplessness of the poor. The old mother's house was dilapidated, with mud and bricks on the walls, and even when it wasn't raining, the house was leaking.
The sight is poignant, the furniture is dilapidated, the tables, chairs and benches are covered with dust, and the traces of time are carved on the pots and pans. It wasn't until this moment that I realized that some people's lives are more difficult than they can imagine, and this may be part of the reason why Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong went astray.
Of course, the brothers' plight is equally sympathetic. They took refuge in a guest house, but the room was very basic, without even a window. The room is dark and narrow, the sound insulation is very poor, and the door opens as soon as it hits, so there is no way to guarantee safety.
The only good thing is that it's cheap.
In the vicinity of the "line" guest house, tattered bicycles are everywhere. Although the life is not affluent, the residents here are able to adapt to this environment and go out on bicycles every day.
However, these bikes are not necessarily purchased by themselves, and some may have been stolen from elsewhere.
Cheng Bing encountered a perplexing scene on the bus: although the bus has become universal, he still retains the habit of paying the conductor in the past.
However, the current buses are all actively coined, and no longer give change or return money. Cheng Bing was confused by this change and didn't know what to do.
Clothing, food, housing and transportation, these four elements truly show the living conditions of the "poor", and it is those subtleties that make the audience feel the truth of life more deeply.
Compared with those who say that they are poor, but in fact they live a very prosperous life, they are judged.
The creators of some domestic dramas always look at the poor from a lofty perspective, but they don't realize that this is a problem, and instead make them a nondescript laughing stock. For example, the plot of the hero and heroine in "Love in Red Dust" when they go out for training and stay at a villager's house makes people feel the existence of this kind of problem.
The house looked dilapidated, as if it was going to collapse in the next second, but the beds and furniture were unusually new, and the contrast was very incongruous.
The heroine was bathing in a wooden barrel when suddenly a big goose walked into the house slowly, and she was so frightened that she lost her face.
The rural scenes presented in the film and the changes in the costumes of the heroes and heroines make people wonder if the director has been to the countryside himself, and this sudden change in painting style makes people feel a little confused, as if they have traveled to another world.
Incredibly, some netizens discovered that the wooden barrel that Nazha bathed in was actually a barrel used to kill pigs in the countryside. I think that if the director is not willing to make a good film, he can choose not to make it, but deliberately talking nonsense is too much.
In "Fearless", Luo Yingzi, played by Reiza, was betrayed by her husband and was kicked out of the mansion with tens of millions of debts, but according to common sense, she should find a small rental house and live a poor life.
He actually rented a luxurious and well-decorated house of more than 100 square meters, with brand new furniture, a clean and bright environment, and four dishes and one soup for each meal. Surprisingly, despite living in poverty, he has 6 million cash in his family.
Still, the little nanny from the countryside will always find out all kinds of problems. If they don't want to live, they should leave and give it to someone else, and I'm so jealous that I can't stand it.
How to make domestic dramas resonate with the audience again? This is not only that the story needs to be closer to reality, out of the framework of the boss and strong woman, and present the real life of more ordinary people, but also the director also needs to deeply understand the lives of the poor, rather than shooting jokes superficially.
"The Three Teams" shows such sincerity, from every detail of clothing, food, housing and transportation to the breath of life, making the audience feel as if they are there. The actors' interpretation of the poor characters is also very good, and they deduce the real emotions of the little people at the bottom.
I hope that more Chinese directors can learn the filming techniques of "The Three Teams", so that the audience can feel the love and respect for life at the same time. There are also many details in the play that show the setting of the poor, and I look forward to the follow-up plot being more exciting.
