457: Is This a TV Series? (1)
Rongcheng, a certain community. Google search reading
On the sofa in the living room, You Ailing was holding a tablet computer, staring at the screen, taking a deep breath while operating it, looking a little nervous.
Her husband Wang Zhihua made a pot of tea and came over. Seeing her appearance, he asked curiously: "What's wrong? It's rare to see you so nervous."
You Ailing didn't raise her eyes, she just opened her mouth and replied: ""Serious Case Group Six" is on the shelves."
When Wang Zhihua heard this, he probably understood, and asked slightly surprised: "Isn't it written by the first screenwriter Jiang Ge? Is there anything to worry about?"
You Ailing explained: "'Serious Case Group Six' is a new genre."
Wang Zhihua put down the teapot, sat next to her, and asked: "What new genre? Isn't it a police drama or a mystery drama?"
You Ailing shook her head and said, "It's a combination of [cops and criminals + reasoning + documentary]."
"Documentary?" Wang Zhihua was stunned, and then said: "Isn't that a documentary?"
You Ailing was silent for a moment, and then said: "How should I put it? It's somewhere between a TV series and a documentary. It uses real cases as prototypes to adapt them into fictional stories, and then shoots them in the form of a documentary. It has reached a point where the fake is the real thing. The effect is to 'cheat' the audience."
Wang Zhihua poured tea and said, "How did you come up with the idea of shooting such a type of film?"
You Ailing took a breath and said: "This is Jiang Ge's suggestion. What he means is that "White Night" follows a hard-core reasoning style, "Jinjiang Police" follows a daily style, and "Dark Night Law Enforcer" follows a hard-core reasoning style. It adopts a dark style, "Detective Chinatown" adopts a comedy style, while "Forensic Qin Ming" and "Corpse Talk" adopt a conventional style, so if "Crime Six" wants to be differentiated, it has to think about it. A new style.”
As she spoke, she took her eyes off the screen, looked towards her husband, and said: "It happened that their company had a cooperation with Golden Shield Film and Television. After negotiations, they obtained the rights to adapt some real major cases across the country 60 years later, so this was born. A new genre."
Wang Zhihua's eyes lit up, and he spoke with familiarity: "Changshan Cement Hidden Corpse Case! Century Thief King Zhang Qiang's Kidnapping Case! Gangster Baishan's Serial Murder Case!..."
You Ailing asked doubtfully: "You haven't read the script, how do you know this?"
Wang Zhihua chuckled and said, "I have seen CCTV's criminal investigation files."
After finishing speaking, he said with great interest: "Are these all the shocking cases I mentioned?"
You Ailing replied: "For some parts, if you want to adapt it, you not only need the approval of the relevant departments, but also the consent of the victim's family."
Wang Zhihua thought about it, and suddenly thought of a question, and said: "No, isn't "Case Six" a drama from White Night Universe?"
You Ailing replied: "It's a drama from White Night Universe."
Wang Zhihua asked again: "If we can adapt these real cases that are separated by years and decades and make them into documentaries, how can we connect them with other dramas?"
You Ailing smiled and said, "Do you think Q is a person or an organization?"
Wang Zhihua said confidently: "I have researched it, and it is 100% an organization."
When he said this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said, "I seem to understand!"
You Ailing asked: "What do you understand?"
Wang Zhihua replied: "One of the cases in this drama is related to the leader of Q!"
After hearing this, You Ailing fell into deep thought. After a while, she suddenly said: "That's it."
Wang Zhihua smiled and said: "You must have been right!"
You Ailing said: "Actually, I don't know. Xiao Jiang's script is very templated and industrialized. The lines, storyboards, performances, etc. are all written in detail, but he just doesn't explain the purpose of any plot."
Wang Zhihua took a sip of tea and said, "It's really different, there's something special about it."
You Ailing added: "It's not that I don't believe in Xiao Jiang, I'm just a little worried about whether the audience will accept this new genre."
Wang Zhihua smiled slightly and said, "So you just want to see the audience's feedback through barrages and comments."
"Yeah." You Ailing nodded and said, "I won't tell you anymore."
Wang Zhihua put down his teacup and said, "This drama has successfully aroused my interest. I'll go and watch it."
So, the two of them each took their own tablets and opened Penguin Video.
——————
Taicang, a small restaurant.
"Boss, stir-fry some shredded pepper pork. What kind of soup will you make today?"
"Seaweed and egg drop soup."
"Then have a bowl."
After Luo Jinhe ordered the food, he found an empty table and sat down. He put his phone on a napkin box and clicked on the first episode of "Serious Case Group Six" on Penguin Video.
Although he is not a star-chasing person or a fan of Django or any Chinese artist, he likes watching dramas very much, and then he was deeply attracted by White Night Universe.
Therefore, whenever there is a relevant TV series or movie, he will watch it immediately.
"Damn it, can this be filmed?"
"Shock me!"
“High energy throughout!”
"No wonder it has to reach the stars. The scale is too big."
"Although the name has been changed, you can tell who it is as soon as you look at the case."
"This comes with a scary buff!"
…
The dense barrages in the screen are basically lamenting this drama.
"what happened?"
This has never appeared in previous TV series.
Luo Jinhe scratched his head, turned off the barrage, and looked down with doubt.
There is no opening theme. To be precise, the opening theme is pure music, not a song.
【At 8:00 a.m. on November 22, 1963, Li Yang, an accountant at a factory in Changshan, hurried to the bank to withdraw money.
This day was the day when the workers received their salaries, and more than 400 employees in the factory were waiting happily. However, when it was time for lunch break, there was no sign of Li Yang in the factory.
The factory director chose to call the police, and the police investigated every employee in the factory and ruled out the suspects one by one. In the end, because there were too few clues, it became a missing case.
21 years later...】
That's it?
Where is the high energy, scale, and horror?
It's 2025, how can there be such a completely damaged sound quality and picture?
"No, no! This is a TV series produced and distributed by Huafeng Media, written by Jiang Ge, and directed by You Ailing. It's impossible to fool the audience like this."
Just as Luo Jinhe was thinking about it, the picture returned to normal.
【A demolition site of an old community in Changshan.
"Lao Li, why didn't you come to drink last night?"
"Well, you know that my wife is very strict, and I have to go home after work."
"How can the men in Changshan be afraid of their wives? Have some backbone, okay?"
"Am I afraid? I love you!"
"Hahaha!"
"What are you laughing at? Get back to work!"
...
Bursts of laughter spread across the construction site.
After the work started, someone suddenly discovered that a corner of the foundation of the house being demolished had a thick layer of cement, which was very strange. 】
(ps: I wrote about several major cases, but they were all censored. The new type of "Serious Case Group 6" ended in failure. I will briefly write about the transition next.)
