In the past two years, detective dramas of the Republic of China have become popular, especially the detective of the Republic of China, the detective of the gentry and the detective agency of the Republic of China, which are broadcast this year, and the detective of the cheongsam beauty are all based on the Republic of China. However, there is always a feeling of deja vu all the way down. Even though the protagonists in this kind of drama may be different in gender, they can reveal a strong routine style through the title of the film.
The first axe of detective drama in the Republic of China is to put a "gorgeous" and "relaxed" robe on TV dramas (backgrounds, costumes, music, props, etc.) with the characteristics of the Republic of China. As we all know, the Republic of China was a period of violent collision between eastern and western cultures. Tradition and modernity coexist. In many people's eyes, it is amiable, inaccessible and mysterious, and it is also a treasure trove of materials in the eyes of creators. Locking in the period of the Republic of China, we can make detective dramas have the most vivid background color, and the picture and texture are "good-looking" through art, photography and other means. The Republic of China is a period of multiple changes in people's lifestyles and ideas, especially in Shanghai, an international metropolis, which has brought many bizarre stories to a close.
The same is true of the character setting in Gentry. This high-intelligence male detective consultant of the police department who has repeatedly solved strange cases looks like a noble son like Lu Yao in Detective Gentry of the Republic of China, and his body exudes British amorous feelings. Moreover, there is a photo with Conan Doyle in the room, and the background of studying abroad is certain. In addition to brain power, he also has the attribute of speaking. When he is in danger, he will be "afraid" that his boyfriend can do nothing behind the hostess. His greatest hobby is hiding in his room and doing experiments. The woman is a hot-blooded detective with strong fighting capacity, a typical woman. As for the second man, "Benjamin", even his name is full of foreign flavor. This cold forensic doctor will reward the woman who protects the injured man with a candy, and the brotherhood of men is no worse than that in Wonders of the Republic of China.
The "detective" in The Beauty of Cheongsam was replaced by Miss Su, the female host who returned from studying abroad, and the male host became the inspector of the French Concession. The brotherly relationship between the man and the woman was replaced by the emotional line between the honest and honest police officer Shen and Momo. From the beginning, the emotional line between men and women developed towards the routine of mutual boredom, and the process of investigating the case was full of affection.
In almost every detective drama of the Republic of China, there is a senior "detective" who returned from studying abroad or came from a rich family, and most of them have a partner of the opposite sex who looks at each other with special respect. They never knew each other until they told the judge through detective work that some people even went to the Iron Triangle with love and brotherhood. In Beauty of Cheongsam and Detective, even Miss Su, the heroine, and Luo Fei, the hero, became detectives for the same reason: to find out the murderer who "killed my sister" in those years. People set up such a routine with the main line, so that when watching detective dramas in the Republic of China, they often feel that even if the hero and heroine cross into another drama, there will probably not be much plot damage, just detective, slapstick and sweet talk.
The third axe of detective drama in the Republic of China is the lack of real suspense reasoning under the banner of suspense detective reasoning. The Republic of China is the development period of mystery novels. Now, the detective drama of the Republic of China has similar cases and stories, and the process of solving the case is simple. Although the murderer's modus operandi may be different, the contents of revenge, love killing and other cases seem to be correct because they are not integrated with the background of the times. For example, Hu Yunlang in The Beauty of Cheongsam was killed, and the medical officer in Wonders of the Republic of China was killed.
Neither A Duo, the hero or heroine, nor the trio of male and female brothers have the murderer's crime scene and mental journey. The "reasoning" and detection of cases mainly depend on the dictation of male and female protagonists. No wonder the suspense atmosphere is not enough, and the hero and heroine are a little talkative. How else can we solve the case? In fact, in the final analysis, murder cases are all caused by people's jealousy, fear, greed and desire. No matter what happened between the murderers, even the key details of the case were dictated by the detective, which undoubtedly damaged the audience's interest in participating in reasoning, and the feeling of suspense and tension was naturally nowhere to be found. Coupled with the unit drama form of two or three episodes of a case, the impact on the emotional drama of men and women and even men and women has become a simple and rude summary, so the detective drama of the Republic of China is just for people to watch. As for burning the brain and suspecting the real murderer, don't take it to heart.
In fact, the routine of detective drama in the Republic of China began with Jerry and others starring in Boiled Female Detective.
Just as many workplace dramas are not enough for romantic dramas, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the lack of creativity and characteristics of detective dramas in the Republic of China is only a three-pronged axe, or it is a three-pronged axe that has caused the pattern of detective dramas in the Republic of China. It is said that one side nourishes the other, and the characters and events of each era have the imprint and breath of that era. If it is only symbolically presented on the surface of the sidewalk, it will only be similar in shape but not in spirit.
Of course, detective dramas in the Republic of China also have their own characteristics, that is, detectives are just, chasing murderers and being more police than police. There is also that women no longer rely on men's stupidity everywhere, but their skills, IQ and EQ are all online, and men have also unloaded the "all-round aura". Although some people attribute these to the pursuit of coolness in current film and television creation, and the plot of detective drama in the Republic of China is simple and straightforward, I still want to believe that the change of heroine in the drama is also the cause of the times, because the awakening of women's self-awareness is an important embodiment of the richness and diversity of society and social progress in the Republic of China. Otherwise, detective dramas in the Republic of China are nothing cute except relaxation.
