In recent years, the criminal investigation dramas in the domestic drama market have directly opened up the "second pulse of Ren and Du".
"Sweeping the Black Storm" and "Hurricane" are based on anti-crime and anti-corruption, with a large scale and bursting popularity.
And "I Am a Criminal Policeman" relies on the true restoration of major cases and the outstanding performance of the actors, and the ratings and popularity are extremely high.
and "Sandstorm" starring Duan Yihong, although the popularity is average, with a solid plot, it won a high score of 1.0 on Douban.
Now, another such hit is on the air.
"Born by Fate" was on Xingyang Eight, and the ratings of the premiere directly broke 1.0, chasing three episodes in a row, I just want to say that this drama has lived up to the expectations of the audience, and it is definitely a dark horse in the domestic drama market this year.
01 The scale is amazing, and the plot is interlocking
《借命而生》讲述了警校高材生杜湘东(秦昊饰)被迫留在看守所,而他负责的在押犯徐文国(韩庚饰)、姚斌彬(史彭元饰)在转运途中逃跑,从此开始了长达二十年余年的追凶。
The rhythm of the criminal investigation drama affects the perception of the plot, and this drama only uses two tricks to quickly immerse the audience in the plot.
The first is a bizarre unsolved case.
Originally, the style of this drama was heavy, and I wanted to tell it, but I didn't expect it to be a big case at the beginning.
The fishmonger was removing the entrails from the belly of the fish when he found two severed fingers.
Subsequently, the police recovered the body of Li Chao, the director of the machinery factory, by the dam.
And the murderer pointed to the two brothers Xu Wenguo and Yao Binbin.
Li Chao insulted the mothers of the two in public, and was full of foul language, forcing them to take out their homemade guns.
But Yao Binbin flatly denied it, and Xu Wenguo only admitted to making guns.
Are the two brothers hiding each other, or is there someone else who is really the culprit?
An unsolved case, two murderers, and three fates. The atmosphere of the case is confusing, and the mystery hooks the audience's emotions like a hook.
The second is the puzzle of human nature.
Compared with the case itself, the grayscale of human nature in this drama is the most unimaginable.
Du Xiangdong secretly went to the machinery factory to investigate, and the director of the security section was polite on the surface, but he hinted that Du Xiangdong left.
Yao Binbin's mother's colleague clearly stood up after seeing Li Chao being beaten, but said in his testimony that he saw the two brothers kill people.
And Xu Wenguo's girlfriend Sun Yonghong also suddenly "changed her mind" after he was arrested.
The machinery factory is like a "cocoon", where everyone hides and tacitly covers up the truth.
The plot does not directly show "evil", but permeates the plot through the words and deeds of each character.
Seeking the truth, exploring human nature, and insisting on justice, this is the charm of criminal investigation dramas.
02 Qin Hao leads, with a strong lineup
The lineup of this criminal investigation drama is not light, and the performance of three actors is the most surprising.
First of all, Qin Hao.
As a "professional" in criminal investigation suspense dramas, Qin Hao's performance in this type of theme has been recognized by the audience.
In this new drama, Qin Hao played Du Xiangdong, a character who has changed from high-spirited to vicissitudes of life.
Qin Hao is full of enthusiasm and hope for the early stage of the role, and his eagerness to get rid of the status quo is interpreted quite accurately.
Seeing that Xu Wenguo wanted to stop him, Du Xiangdong was enraged and pressed the person to the ground, glaring at him and yelling, and his anger was mixed with dissatisfaction with staying in the detention center.
But when he was told that Xu Wenguo might be involved in the murder, Du Xiangdong's originally calm expression immediately tensed, and when he turned around, his eyes became cold, and even showed a hint of fierceness.
Qin Hao doesn't have too many lines in the play, and his eye drama shows the character's psychology accurately.
His acting skills never missed.
Secondly, Zhong Chuxi.
In "Good Things", Xiao Ye played by Zhong Chuxi has been loved by many audiences, and in addition, Zhong Chuxi has also tried many themes in recent years, such as "Ace Troops" and "If Running is My Life".
In the new drama, Zhong Chuxi has transformed into Liu Fenfang, a young woman in the 90s.
She wore a white blouse and an apron, her hands and feet were quick in her pork splitting movements, and she spoke fluent dialects, and the character's big personality was instantly established.
Seeing Du Xiangdong joking with other female colleagues, Liu Fenfang's eyes were staring at his expression, and when she turned her head, the skin of the melon seeds in her mouth was about to be bitten.
Zhong Chuxi's interpretation of this role is quite down-to-earth.
Finally, Han Geng.
Han Geng's breakthrough in this drama is not small.
Xu Wenguo, played by him, was arrested for intentional injury, and when he was shaved his head, his expression was numb, his eyes were blank, and he looked hopeless in life.
But when he asked Xu Wenguo to help repair the machine and do what he liked, he instantly became energetic, and his tone of voice became brisk.
The role played by Han Geng is quite crucial in this drama, and his performance is surprising.
In addition, the performances of actors such as Shi Pengyuan and Lin Boyang in the play are also remarkable, and this criminal investigation drama is more worthy of taste with the blessing of the actors' acting skills.
03 Conclusion
The original work of the same name of this criminal investigation drama is called "the national version of "The Shawshank Redemption", and the plot has more heavy and depressing feelings than the general criminal investigation dramas that focus on hard-core crimes and integrate elements.
The plot is guided by the case and the theme of fate, showing the experience of the little people struggling to survive, fighting against fate, and redeeming themselves in the changing times.
But the plot does not ignore the sense of conflict in the police and bandit game, and the atmosphere is surging.
As long as this drama maintains this rhythm in the future, it will definitely be a new hit in criminal investigation dramas.
