China News Service, Beijing, March 24 (Liu Yue) In 2022, it will be a quarter, and the small screen will be very lively.

Before, "The World" and "The Beginning" analyzed human nature in depth, and later "Our Marriage" and "Meeting Season" explored the feelings of urban men and women.

Among them, "Pictures of Hunting Crime" has also taken a unique approach with the theme of suspense, and has become a dark horse in this early spring.

　　"Pictures of Hunting Crime" tells the story of Shen Yi, a simulated portrait artist who had a grudge against an old case, and Du Cheng, the captain of the criminal police, who were forced to partner by chance.

As a rare original suspense-themed unit drama in recent years, "Pictures of Hunting Crime" attracted great attention as soon as it was launched.

Whether it is the ups and downs of the plot, the setting that breaks through the routine is surprising.

　　Recently, Wu Yao, the screenwriter of "Hunting Crime Guide", accepted an exclusive interview with Chinanews.com.

In her eloquent talk, we found that this is a story related to "wind".

"Pictures of Hunting Crime": The origin of a journey of collecting wind

　　At the end of 2018, during a field gathering, Wu Yao met a person.

　　It was a small building of the Public Security Bureau of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. The decoration of a room in the building was completely different from the cold and solemn furnishings of other rooms, and the layout was very literary.

Someone told Wu Yao that this was the studio of Luo Dong, a mock portrait artist in the bureau.

　　After seeing Luo Dong himself, Wu Yao was a little surprised by his image.

Many people's perception of the "simulated portrait artist" comes from Zhang Xin, who assisted the police in catching the murderer with three portraits of the suspects in the "Silver Case", and Lin Yuhui, who was in charge of the portrait work of the suspect in the "Murder of Zhang Yingying of Peking University". The image of the industry leader is mature, and the founder is stable.

　　Luo Dong, who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, has a gentle temperament and has a "very idol feeling". Wu Yao commented, "He is young and handsome, with a very good image, and he is an art student, which makes people feel very attractive."

　　At that time, Wu Yao probably did not expect that this handsome young man, together with Zhang Xin and Lin Yuhui, constituted the prototype of Shen Yi in "The Guide to Hunting Crimes".

　　"The public is very unfamiliar with the profession of a portrait artist." At first, Wu Yao was quite vague about the concept of "simulation portrait artist", but in the process of collecting wind, she vaguely captured some creative inspiration, "In the past, we thought it was Because of the lack of surveillance, it is necessary to obtain information through interviews with victims or surrounding witnesses to outline the image of the suspect. Later, it was found that even in the case of surveillance, the portraitist is still indispensable. We used to think that technology can replace The human brain, in fact, is far from that point.”

　　Misunderstandings can easily lead to misunderstandings.

After the "Sin Hunting Guide" was broadcast, some viewers commented that the plot was too "mysterious" and deified the profession of "simulation portrait artist", but art often comes from life.

In the play, there is an unbelievable case for the audience: Chen Mingfeng, a boy whose college entrance examination scores were replaced by others, kidnapped the principal's daughter in revenge.

With the police investigation, three suspects were implicated, which delayed the case.

In the end, portrait artist Shen Yi used the method of "painting bones" to find that the honest and honest Chen Mingfeng, Duan Ge, who was in the society, and Wen Jing, who was elegant and gentle, were all self-directed and self-acted by the same person.

　　How can three very different images be the same person?

　　This extremely dramatic story comes from a real case ten years ago: after a criminal suspect kidnapped a girl, he pretended to be a gang to commit crimes through makeup, acting and other methods.

Wu Yao was quite touched, "The story itself is particularly shocking. A boy kidnapped his girlfriend, and the girl herself is learning the guzheng, so her hands are very precious. The boy's heart softened at that time, so he didn't take her hands. He was tied to death. Because of this, the girl escaped by herself. After the police solved the case, the girl asked the girl to identify the suspect. The girl looked at the boy and said, 'It's not him.'"

　　The tiny and inexplicable emotions accidentally acquired in the accumulation of materials are the nourishment for Wu Yao's creation.

In addition to being rational, she retains her emotional desire to talk, "During the creation of this case, we added some settings: Chen Mingfeng's motive for crime was to have his identity stolen. Because at that time, there was a News, a person was replaced to go to college, we hope that everyone will not forget that there are still many hidden corners of society, silent truths and some hopeless cries."

"New Mainstream Online Drama": Seize the Moment of the Wind

　　During the shooting, the scene that impressed Wu Yao the most was Shen Yi riding a bicycle through the street, the surrounding scenery whizzing by, and the young boy in white clothes was at ease.

　　"When he rode a bicycle through the whole street, he had a particularly attractive youthful feeling." Yes, Wu Yao prefers the brushstrokes of youth and freedom.

Shen Yi is gentle and arrogant, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, Du Cheng is fierce and straightforward, one is the cold fragrance of falling flowers in the wind, and the other is the wind mixed with rough sand.

　　In addition, Wu Yao is very satisfied that Tan Jianci has a mix of pure evil spirits, Jin Shijia's literature and art, and the image is friendly.

　　Since "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" became an instant hit, "Forensic Qin Ming", "Undocumented Crime", "The Hidden Corner" and other works have been broadcast successively, suspense-themed dramas have become popular in recent years.

From Wen Qi, Fan Chengcheng, Guo Zifan in "Deadly Wish", to Chen Feiyu in "Gold Rush", from Bai Yufan in "Octagon Pavilion and Mist", to Tan Jianci and Jin Shijia in "The Hunt for Crime", the interesting thing is that this The protagonists of similar dramas are increasingly "younger".

　　Wu Yao thinks this is a good thing. The main characters in suspense dramas are inherently complex and multi-dimensional. "I hope young actors will challenge more complex and difficult roles. I believe they themselves must also Very willing, rather than repeating some elites in stereotypes."

　　She said frankly that the "Guild of Crime" was initially positioned as a youth project, and the casting also tended to be young, handsome and fashionable actors.

This is a starting point for creation, that is, on the basis of ensuring the quality of the work, the pursuit of traffic and network feel.

　　In addition, from a market perspective, the participation of young actors will help break the audience circle, and "The Hunt for Crime" is a good example.

Wu Yao was deeply touched, "I used to have a stereotyped impression of the audience of suspense-type dramas, and believed that young people and men were the majority. However, the audience portraits of "The Hunt for Crime" tend to penetrate three generations, ranging from sixty to seventy years old to ten years old. The audience has a wide range of ages, and there are also a lot of female audiences.”

　　Aside from the actor factor, the creative concept of "Hunting Crime Guide" is very "new", focusing on de-routines and younger people.

Wu Yao said, "I have always felt that suspense-themed online dramas are gradually moving from the marginal subculture of the past to mainstream culture. The creation method of "The Hunt for Crime" is also more youthful, but the essence of this drama is still realism. It's a very specific type of police officer in the police industry."

　　This innovative expression of realistic themes, Wu Yao defines it as a "new mainstream online drama", "It contains a sense of youth and business gameplay, but the essence of the story and the core of the characters are still realistic, just the way of expression. More fashionable, younger, and more beautiful." Therefore, suspense lovers can easily find that, compared with other similar dramas, "Guild of Crime" has a more Internet sense, appearance anxiety, medical beauty industry, domestic violence, academic fraud, etc. The plot directly hits the current social pain point.

　　Seize the moment when the wind blows.

In times of change, innovation can be achieved through innovation, and film and television creation can be improved in dimension; and by adhering to principles and striving for excellence, the quality of works can be guaranteed.

Realistic dramas don’t have to be heavy in style and bitterness. A younger cast, fresher social issues, and more creative expression techniques may open up a second track and become a new trend in the future development of the film and television industry. direction.

　　Where will the wind go from here?
