finally finished the long-awaited "Tang Di Gong Case" early this morning, in all fairness, the "Chaoyun Library" of the last case, although it is difficult to say that it is the most exciting chapter in the whole play, in my opinion, it is indeed wonderful in terms of the suspense and tension of the plot. It can be said that it has closed a good ending to the whole series, and it has fully raised the audience's expectations for the second part.
For such a high-profile "Tang Di Gong Case", I would like to talk about some of my personal views and opinions on this series at the end of the ** end. Purely talk about personal preferences, and if you don't like it, that's it.
First of all, I want to summarize the biggest impression I have from the whole series in one sentence, that is:Tiger head dragon tail hemp rod waist! Why? The entire "Tang Di Gong Case" has a total of 32 episodes, and a total of them have been performed"Phoenix Seal Case", "Screen Case", "Strange Case", "Legend of the Rain Master", "Red Pavilion", "Desert Chasing the Murderer", "Empty Gourd", "Skylark Chirp".with"Chaoyun Library".These nine stories are not only independent, but also buried in the dark line.
It can be said that each chapter in the play has a relatively good degree of completion, and it also has its own advancement characteristics. But, in my opinion, the most exciting of them is the one at the end"Phoenix Seal Case" and "Chaoyun Library".Two chapters. Because in these two chapters, the logical ideas are relatively clear, and the suspense setting is richer and more solid. Looking at the middle episodes, except"**Strange case".In addition to some bright spots, there are many inexplicable "breakthrough points" in the advancement and detection of the case in the remaining chapters, which seem to be the key to detection, but in fact the logic is chaotic.
Especially"The Legend of the Rain Master".with"Empty hoist".These two chapters, in my opinion, are a bit purely to set off the suspense and deliberately create the atmosphere of the scene, such as the abandoned building in the barracks, there will be a beautiful woman who is not a ghost or a ghost and will not abandon the rain master wearing a "birdman suit", the atmosphere of the scene is full, but in the end, it is an inexplicable "legend", and a normal person can be moved by just looking at the "shadow puppet", which can be earth-shattering!
And like"Red Pavilion".with"Desert Chase".The two chapters are lively at first glance, but they are extremely absurd when you think about it. For example, the suicide note was blown away, but it was not seen from beginning to end! Treating Zhou Changyi and others who killed their superiors because they resisted and abused, but fought to the death in defending the castle, in that case, they would even design Di Renjie to still insist on reporting the previous "big mistake" and ignore the current "righteousness", which is reasonable, but unreasonable! In the duel with "Diao Xiaoguan", even in order to prevent the child from killing the ** who defiled his sister, Di Renjie actually wanted to hit him with a flying knife and choked his throat. It feels like a deliberate conflict is created in order to highlight the conflict! Under the "perfect" setting that emphasizes Di Renjie's attention to the legal system, he completely ignores the male protagonist as a flesh-and-blood "person", which should be more full of humanity and a more "reasonable" dramatic treatment!
At least in terms of my aesthetics, the story structure and plot progression of these episodes are not so rigorous and smooth. Therefore, in my opinion, if you look at these 32 episodes as a complete story advancement, it is obvious that the story level of the first and last two chapters is significantly higher than that of the middle seven paragraphs. That's why I describe the look and feel of the whole series as:Tiger head dragon tail hemp rod waist!
Don't blow or step on, since you have talked, there must be good and bad. Next, I will list three highlights and three failures of the whole series in my opinion! Totally personal opinion!
Two highlights: First, the actors of the whole series can be said to be all the acting skills**. Although the starring role in Zhou Yiwei still encountered some "controversy", it is still the main supporting roles such as Wang Likun , You Zhiyong, and actors such as Zhang Jiayi, Li Chen, Zhang Ruoyun and other actors in various chapters, in my opinion, all the actors in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" have relatively good performances. In my opinion, this is also the premise of maintaining the basic quality of the episodes even when most of the episodes have obvious loopholes in the plot.
Second, the scene texture of the whole play is still worth boasting. This point, in fact, can be regarded as a "standard" in the increasingly well-produced "online dramas" in recent years, so this highlight may be said to be maintained.
Three failures: 1. The overly face-painted interpretation of Zhou Zhouwei.
This point may be the biggest "slot" for many people who have watched the entire series. It can be said that Di Renjie, who is on Monday, is simply a combination of Ding Xiu, a "money-added layman", and Long Bo, who is "Chang'an does not kill", and there is no "freshness" at all. The trial of the case is all about "hard questioning", and the emotion is all about "staring", let's say it deeply, speak softly and ambiguously in front of women, say calm down, and burst of personal heroism at every turn. Perhaps, this is Zhou Yiwei deliberately to create a character, but what is puzzling is that his Di Renjie, due to his excessive facial interpretation, is too easy for people to dance!
Another thing that puzzles me very much is that as a young version of Di Renjie, there are naturally not too many emotional scenes during the period. But why do you want to put Di Renjie and Cao An's early contact, which reflects even some inexplicable madness and even obscenity, greasy and frivolous. In my opinion, this is undoubtedly the most unsuccessful performance of Zhou Yiwei in the play.
Second, there are too many illogical plots in the whole play.
I wrote about this earlierTiger head dragon tail hemp rod waist! , already mentioned. In my opinion, as a suspense and reasoning drama, the most important thing is the rigor of the story, the integrity of the clues and the rationality of the reasoning, and the suspense and logic must coexist and coexist. In the whole play, the evidence in most cases lacks a chain, and almost all of it depends on Di Renjie's personal "God's perspective", and some links are almost the plot progress of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Basic Deduction Method". The clues required are basically coincidental, either headless and tailless or headless and tailless, which is inexplicable. Especially"Skylark chirps".The chapters have a proper structure of "Seven Deadly Sins", but they lack a substantive core, and the plot seems to be complicated and jumpy, but in fact it lacks step-by-step in-depth reasoning details, which makes the story fragmented.
And when everyone was confused, Di Renjie could deduce the case casually, and there was a reproduction of the scene. Then it all depends on reasoning to confess the real murderer leniently, and even "The teacher is right!" "And" What does Yuan Fang think? "This kind of assistance is saved. This also makes the plot, which should have belonged to the climax stage of the plot, become foggy.
Third, the tool man attribute of the main supporting role is too obvious.
In the whole play, there are four main supporting roles, namely "Cao Niangzi", "Hong Liang", "Ma Rong" and "Qiao Tai". According to the conventional configuration, these four people should be mainly responsible for logistics, think tank, escort and retinue. It's not a novelty, but it's a good fit for a team.
But the character of Di Renjie in this play is a "hexagonal warrior". is not only resourceful and decisive, but also almost the ceiling of combat power in the whole play. This makes "Cao Niangzi" and "Hong Liang" not only cook on the fire, but also deal with daily official business, and the county magistrate seems to have no work. At the same time, there is no need to fight, and the clues to handle the case are also Di Renjie himself, making "Ma Rong" and "Qiao Tai" useless. Originally, in Penglai, "Ma Rong" and the local "big brother of the underworld" still had a little friendship, giving people the feeling that something would happen, and the worst thing was that there was an interactive case or something, but as a result, just after the relationship was opened, the whole team was transferred to Lanfang. This also makes the "Macho" combination, except for causing trouble, has little effect.
Of course, everyone has their own different aesthetic opinions, and what I have talked about is just some personal biases. Overall, the drama can be watched, but it may not have met the previous expectations!
I'm also looking forward to the second part!
