compared with the ubiquitous metaphors in the drama, cyber crimes are more free and easy, and they dare to play.
Recently, there was a Ten-Day Game made by iQiyi, which unlocked a new narrative way of crime drama.
This play is adapted from Keigo Higashino's early novel The Kidnapping Game. It is supported by the original, with clues arranged and suspense set, so don't worry about it.
The key depends on whether the adaptation can be integrated into today's society and arouse a new generation of audience.
judging from the two episodes just aired, Douban scored 7.9, which is higher than the original.
The texture of the picture is quite cinematic, with a bright steel jungle above and a crime hotbed below. In just a few pictures, a plump and complex city image is spliced together.
cities are like maggots, living in them, people must not be idle, they can only win a place by hard work, and they can ensure that they will not be swallowed up by the world.
Yu Hai (Zhu Yawen), a young owner of a game studio, is troubled by debt problems recently, because he has put all his fortune on the newly developed game "The Country of Lies", and investor Shen Hui just withdrew his capital.
A loan was about to expire, and then a usurer threatened to repay it. In desperation, he met Shen Hui's daughter, Lu Jie.
Lu Jie (Gina), the second daughter of Shen Hui, an entrepreneur, takes her mother's surname, and her father preferred her half-sister since childhood. So just a few nights ago, after a big fight with my father, I climbed over the wall and escaped from the mansion, and I was planning to find a chance to get back at my father.
At this time, Lu Jie made a suggestion to let Yu Hai kidnap her and ask Shen Hui for a ransom of 4 million, which will be divided equally between them.
But at the beginning of the story, on the day when police officer Wu Yuke (Geng Le) was just transferred to Lvteng City, a corpse was dumped in the wilderness.
The deceased was a woman who was later identified as Shen Hui's daughter, Lu Jie.
after checking the murder scene, he concluded that this was not the first crime scene.
That is to say, the role of Lu Jie received a box lunch only after the opening of more than 1 minutes, and then she only lived in other people's narratives.
At present, Ten Days Game is divided into two lines.
A case that belongs to the present tense is being solved by Wu Yuke, the leader of the police station in the jurisdiction, and Miao Jia, a policewoman (decorated by Xu Ke) after Lu Jie's death.
One belongs to the past tense. Yu Hai and Lu Jie talk about love and engage in kidnapping by the way.
However, as soon as the police officer appeared on the scene, he showed no personality after that, just relying on the case itself. The latter's sense of CP is not strong, and the reasons for seeking things are not sufficient, like two dolls playing house.
It's Shen Hui, the background character played by Liu Yijun, which is impressive.
In order to contrast the privileged image of Shen Hui, Ten-Day Game first symbolized it.
The meticulous arrangement of subordinates and the waiting of appointment time all mean that he has a high position.
the first time we met, it was the game company in Shanghai.
Yu Hai is the introducer of the game, and Shen Hui is the decider of the investment.
It's just a few words. Shen Hui and Yu Hai, who is an old hand in shopping malls and who is an unconfident rookie, have a high opinion.
the second time we met, it was in Shen Hui's office.
Yu Hai was even more humble and became a poor man begging for alms, while Shen Hui beat the dog behind closed doors, which was fatal.
Before the first episode is over, Shen Hui's strength, strategy, familiarity in playing mind games and the image of the person behind the scenes have completely surfaced.
Against the background of Liu Yijun's superb acting skills, Yu Hai and Lu Jie, the two protagonists who want to blackmail Shen Hui, seem redundant, melodramatic and always exude a frivolous temperament that takes kidnapping as a joke.
in a play, it is not uncommon for a supporting role to steal the limelight of the protagonist, but it was "anti-customer-oriented" not long after its launch, and the online drama "Ten Days Game" was the first one.
naturally, the writers' deliberate arrangement and the actors' superb performance are indispensable here.
In "Ten Days Game", the current trader of the game has become Shen Hui, who is not only alive, but also doing both, while living in other people's talk, while living in his own story line.
Liu Yijun is the most suitable villain for today's entertainment circle.
In "Ten Days Game", the second daughter first said that Shen Hui was untrue, and then she also educated her sister into a hypocritical person, who was kind on the surface and stabbed her in the back.
But before a few words, Shen Hui's image of heart breaker has become infatuated.
In the impression of ordinary people, the word "love" will not appear in the dictionary of villains. A person who is bad will be bad to the end, with a heart of stone.
But Liu Yijun has a different understanding. The villain should not only have "affection", but also change with the twisted and abnormal mind of the villain, so that you can't guess who he is and what he is going to do.
Isn't that the case with Hou Xieyu of Ningguo in nirvana in fire? Xie Yu has always been ambitious and wants to climb a higher position, and princess royal in Liyang is the perfect candidate for him to climb a higher position.
But at the same time, princess royal in Liyang is not only a guarantee of power and fame, but also the most cherished lover of Xie Yu.
When many people speculated that princess royal, who had been married in Liyang for many years, had become a habit of being wronged, their love was truly displayed in front of the audience.
It's a fact to do whatever it takes, and so is Xie Yu's long love.
Back in "Ten Days Game", Yu Hai and Lu Jie made an appointment to ask Shen Hui for a sum of money. After Shen Hui prepared the money, she received a phone call from Lu Jie.
what is Shen hui's performance at this time?
while listening to the phone, Liu Yijun is busy, saying that he will come at once, which is extremely urgent.
But my daughter said not to call the police. Liu Yijun's eyebrows were loose and tight, and she replied, "I understand, I didn't call the police."
that tone, that suddenly upright body, looks like an honest man who has done good deeds but is not trusted, full of grievances.
But as soon as he left the office, his expression changed, his wrinkles spread, and his shrewd eyes stared at the number of floors.
is this the peace that you should have before you redeem your daughter?
is this the calm you should have when you are about to face the kidnappers?
Then he got out of the elevator and walked into the garage. His steps were relaxed. Before he got close to the vehicle, he opened the trunk, looked at two boxes of cash wrapped tightly in the trunk and set off.
If you only look at Liu Yijun's performance in the garage, probably no one will think that he is paying a ransom. His pace is relaxed and his breath is calm, which is more like paying a deposit to the killer: it's time to start work.
There are various ways to present "love" here in Liu Yijun, and the most attractive thing is the private expression of "love".
In Great Expectations, Liu Yijun is Zhang Wanlin, a gangster in Shanghai. His car was driving in the street and he was knocked down by Lin Yiyi played by Tong Liya.
The boss bumped into a little girl, so just let his hand clean up.
Zhang Wanlin just got off the bus. Not only did he get off the bus, but when he helped Lin Yiyi up, he put his finger on Lin Yiyi's chin.
I pouted for a second, as if I had touched a rare treasure. The next second, the expression is filled with various emotions such as possession, pride and contempt.
In The Pretender, "love" is more private.
Liu Yijun plays Wang Tianfeng, the mentor of "poison bee", the planner of "Death Plan" and one of the chess pieces.
The first time I met a student, Yu Manli, he put her in the "Death Plan" as a pawn.
Wang Tianfeng said, "Ruthlessness, only ruthlessness can be indestructible."
but he was moved.
Wang Tianfeng will turn to look at Yu Manli at dinner.
While taking advantage of Yu Manli's life experience, he also helped her find an adoptive father, helped her to get over it, and accelerated her release.
Later, I met Yu Manli again after a long time, because there were so few people in the room that I had to face each other.
Wang Tianfeng looked at Yu Manli and walked slowly to Yu Manli.
To prove that the ghost is himself, Liu Yijun gently took the lollipop from her hand and licked it.
across the screen, you can feel Yu Manli's breath. Then, Wang Tianfeng leaned forward and added: "It's a good life."
gloomy, abnormal, vent, or finally meet again, only the audience to ponder, and how to ponder is right.
Liu Yijun said that he likes to delve into the small details of characters. Writing down these details can deepen his understanding of characters.
Now, it seems that these details not only enrich the characters themselves, but also make them more interesting, as if the main line is secondary, and there is another person and another life hidden in those details, which people can't wait to solve.
The accumulated experience of villains for so many years will definitely hang young people in Ten Days Game.
It can be said that the protagonist of Ten Days Game is not Liu Yijun, but it can steal your attention unconsciously.
Perhaps because of this, Yu Hai's human nature tends to be weak, timid, passive and victim-oriented.
Yu Hai goes all out to develop games. Why do you want to develop them? Because Shen Hui suddenly decided to invest in him.
After the game was developed, it was determined by Shen Hui that its theme was quite negative, and it could not challenge today's competitive market.
like a lamb, he gave up.
Shen Hui can invest this time, and of course he can invest next time. Not only Shen Hui, but also other bosses can vote.
as long as you climb up the vine, there is always a chance. However, he didn't quickly divert his attention, but humbly prayed, and he also planned to win Shen Hui's favor in the game by suddenly visiting and giving gifts in the middle of the night.
why is this?
the quality of the game itself is not good enough?
I didn't do market research before, and I knew I couldn't get investment through normal channels?
Later, although he became a "kidnapper", Yu Hai never got into the role of "kidnapper". It seems that kidnapping is a job similar to bodyguards, or a stable and fully guaranteed security work within the system.
It turns out that this man behind the scenes, who got it by accident, is nothing more than a "fool" in the final analysis.
the audience is sad to see him not being slaughtered.
how?
Shen hui knows well.
first, he went to his third brother, whom he had not contacted for many years, and asked him to help him investigate Yu.
When the third brother was addicted to gambling and stole the money from his eldest brother, his leg was broken. It was Shen Hui who offered to help the third brother pay back the money that calmed his anger a little.
I haven't seen you for many years. My third brother has become a marginal person, living in a shabby house. My daughter-in-law has lupus erythematosus and has no money for treatment, so she has been lying in bed waiting for death.
Shen Hui entered the room, but he didn't dislike it. He just sat down.
When meeting an old friend, Shen Hui always has tears in his eyes.
To judge whether Shen Hui is sincere or not, one look will tell.
Twenty years ago, when the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother got together and the third brother was broken, Shen Hui's eyes showed a gradual change of surprise with restraint and resentment.
When I come to the third brother's place, friendship, support, and trust are progressing step by step. What will it feel like when Shen Hui finally makes that request?
Look at him. Just after asking for a favor, he immediately got the money. If this is not a risk-averse who is worth fighting for, who else?
Liu Yijun suddenly got the hang of it when he played the villain in Creating a Prosperous Age in 25.
He suddenly found that the positive role must sit tight and bring its own aura, which is really quite restrictive, while the villain has unlimited possibilities.
the second pulse of ren du has been opened, but the road is getting harder and harder.
In 217, Zhang Wanlin, who plays Great Expectations, achieved a real leap.
This man is bad to the bone. To play him is to share his fate with Liu Yijun.
Liu Yijun chose the most risky way to perform, and he was impatient with anyone, yelling wherever he went.
With this involvement, Liu Yijun gradually found himself changed, became impatient with people around him, and had nightmares at night, full of scenes of killing people.
in less than ten days, when I stood in front of the mirror, I saw a vicious face.
Liu Yijun was scared, but he didn't regret it. The villain had to act like this.
In the play, the villain stands on the opposite side of the protagonist, but in Liu Yijun's mind, the villain is his foothold and an undeveloped new airline. What he wants is to play different styles of sparks in this new world.
Not long ago, Liu Mintao, who has cooperated for many times, got five hot searches by "singing with expressions" in one night, and got angry.
Dahong Ni, who has acted in many TV series together, became angry with her father in Everything's Fine.
It's impossible to meet a red wine overnight, and the fire in Liu Yijun can only be simmered.
In 215, the popularity of nirvana in fire made Liu Yijun's career reach a new level.
But what we really know about him is that in recent years, there have been solid villains, who have virtually gathered into a force to urge fans to explore his ancient images.
In Big Dyeing House, he plays Zhao Dongchu with deep thoughts. This is a deep role, but unfortunately it is a supporting role, and it is not developed enough. Like other supporting roles in the play, it is all decorated with the aura of Hou Yong's protagonist.
In Modern Family, he plays a younger brother who is in love with a Korean girl in a family where all his children are married to foreigners. At that time, Han Liu had just made his fortune, which was nothing compared with American romance and Malaysian romance.
The only one who can still catch the stalk after 2 years is the drama version of Ghost Story in 2, but what is remembered is not Liu Yijun's acting skills, but Nie Xiaoqian's big plastic flower on his head and her earthy smell, and Ning Caichen's mouthful of lotus flowers.
before that, it was not a play, it was an experience.
In 199, Liu Yijun graduated from Beijing Film Company. At that time, he was also assigned as an actor. Liu Yijun was assigned to the West Film Factory in his hometown. Because he was not engaged in his major, he was asked to practice in other departments of the unit first, saying that it was an internship, but actually he had nothing to do.
I go to work by car every day. When I have work, I do it. When I have no work, I drink tea, skip work and play games all night.
after half a year, I transferred to a new unit, and I was in a panic, so I watched movies every day and learned English every day. Not to learn anything, but only to learn something, Liu Yijun didn't think it was a waste of time.
It took Liu Yijun eight years from graduation to acting, and eighteen years from acting to being recognized by the audience.
Idol can't wait so long. Liu Yijun can wait.
This is in line with Liu Yijun's career of simmering. Before the fire, he was waiting for the play, and after the fire, he was grinding the play.
Liu Yijun's teacher, Ma Jingwu, said that he must be a late bloomer.
sometimes he thinks, when will it be late? Can it be early?
it seems that we can never wait for the key to the product.
