Unlike the suspense dramas and dramas that were broadcasted in the past years, the domestic drama market seems to have concentrated the confidence of the industry on the type of dramas involved this time in the face of the upcoming summer breeze.
The drama involved returns to the TV gold file
Due to the previous broadcast policy, the domestic drama involved in the TV broadcast platform had a considerable period of silence. Since last year's "Ice Breaking Action" was aired, only some of the dramas involved have entered the golden stage. In April of this year, the first TV series "Hunting Fox" on the subject of economic investigation first appeared in the gold position of the TV. In June, the two dramas "Burning" and "Trident" played in the gold positions of the four satellites and began the domestic drama. The tuyere period.

Leverage, and "Southern Police Detective" controlled by Huayi Brothers, etc. According to the singles of the reserve films released by various satellite TVs, these future dramas will all point to the gold files of satellite TV.
Video website moved out of many film emperors to help out
The video site is also adding to the drama involved. According to the recently released list of iQiyi "Mist Theater", in addition to the first domestic suspense online drama "Ten Day Game" adapted from the original book of Keigo Higashino, there are many suspense-related dramas that will be aired in the theater in the future. Liao Fan and Wang Qianyuan , Qin Hao, Wang Jingchun, Liu Yijun, Tan Zhuo, Wu Yue and other powerful actors, can be said to use the film emperor lineup to support the half of the website suspense drama type.
In the same period, Youku's public "Suspense Theater" film list should not be underestimated. In addition to "Lost People" starring Lv Yulai and Liu Chang, the works to be broadcast include "The Corridor Pavilion" starring Deng Jiajia and Zhang Xincheng, and Song Jia and Yu Entai starring "White Moonlight", "The First Encounter, Last Parting" starring Lin Xinxin and Gai Yuexi, "The Rose Walker" starring Lin Peng and Zheng Yecheng, "Fog Tracking" starring Jiang Qinqin and Zhou You, etc. The cast is showing a younger trend, but there is no shortage of casts that only appeared in movie works in the past.
In the view of Yang Wenshan, editor-in-chief of the film and television professional media "Single Tongue", satellite TV and video websites simultaneously add to the subject matter involved in the case, to some extent, based on the "natural selection" made by the current film and television drama market. "The content of the drama involved in the case itself is very attractive, no matter what platform it is broadcasted, it is easy to attract the audience to watch." In Yang Wenshan's view, the drama involved in the past was identified as a niche theme, but in the past two years, several After the explosive drama, the audience of the drama involved has greatly expanded. "Video sites are pursuing genre changes more extremely. Suspense plays like iQiyi are all based on 12 episodes. Youku's "The Missing Person" narrative also includes soft science fiction elements, which can be clearly seen. They are all pursuing viewing effects similar to American dramas."
The drama involved becomes more important in characterization
Unlike the past dramas that were divided by unit narrative and driven by strong plots, the current audience has become "desensitized" to the unbelievable case, and the characters in the drama are more likely to resonate now. The story of Trident highlights the human touch of the drama involved. In addition to advancing the case, the story focuses more on the middle-aged crisis of the three retiring old policemen. The “Trident”, which has entered its middle age, is reunited due to the accidental martyrdom of his old friends. Even if he returns to the front line with his outstanding ability to solve crimes, he still has to face the reality of “one place of chicken feathers”. In the play, the "big stick" that enforces law hardly but lacks flexibility. After being wronged, the plot to bow down and apologize to the evil forces has caused many audiences to feel the "warm boiled frog" of the middle-aged crisis in the barrage. Compared to the splendor of the case-solving story, the audience is more likely to “empathize” with the plot of the midlife crisis.
Chen Yuxin positioned "Burning" in criminal investigation dramas and had higher expectations for it. He wanted to reflect China's judicial reform process through this criminal investigation drama, so the people in the story became more important. In "Burning", different characters will face different struggles and choices of human nature, and then change their destiny. In the creative process, Chen Yuxin also focused on the portrayal of "human nature": "Every choice and decision in life brings different results and directions." Unlike the previous criminal investigation dramas, Chen Yuxin's character appearance arrangement Some innovations have been made on the show: "Some big bosses in the play come out early to reveal their identities. Why should I do this? I want the audience to feel this character and choose and decide with the character."
Chen Yuxin believes that as the audience likes the genre, there will be a certain pattern in the drama, and the intensity and tortuousness of the case are a prerequisite for the audience to like this kind of drama. "But I think this intensity is There is an end to reversal for reversal. In the end, the character portrayal is often abandoned, leaving only events, and the expression of human nature is endless."
