However, due to the recent unsatisfactory reputation of several major suspense dramas "Tower of Babel" and "Circle Pavilion", doubts about whether domestic suspense dramas are still acceptable have been lingering in the minds of many suspense drama fans.

Domestic suspense dramas in 2022. Various new dramas will be released after you finish the show. However, the recent major suspense dramas " Tower of Babel " and " Corridor Pavilion " have not received satisfactory reviews. Domestic suspense dramas are still good. Doubts have been lingering in the minds of many fans of suspense dramas. Although

, " Crime Hunting Illustrated Book ", " vs. " and " Gate of Rebirth " each have their own strengths, they are ultimately one step away from being the king.

Finally, it is its turn to play.

The suspense drama "Outside the Court" co-starred by Xia Yu and Luo Jin will be broadcast on the Youku platform tonight (14th).

hasn’t made a move yet, but already has a hardcore vibe.

Let’s not look at the cast list. Just the lineup of directors and directors makes people’s blood boil -

The top-rated Chinese drama "Uncle Circle", the director Zhang Li who said "Uncle Li is very angry, the consequences will be serious".

How powerful is "Uncle Li"? I have 4 Douban works with a score of 9 or above, which is almost a guarantee of quality in the industry.

screenwriter fingerprint, how good is it? Let me ask you if you like watching "White Night", another suspense masterpiece also written by him?

Anyway, Pan Yueming teacher became famous in one fell swoop because of this drama.

If this lineup of directors is not convincing enough, then the editor will talk to you about the cast.

has two leading actors: Luo Jin and Xia Yu, a powerful Mesozoic actor who becomes more and more courageous as he fights, and a Venice Best Actor whose acting skills have remained online for many years.

supporting cast - Wan Qian , evil.

high leaves , charm.

Jiao Junyan , crazy.

Huo Qing, cold.

plus Li Guangjie , Li Zonghan and other powerful groups.

Also, it’s rare to see Luo Jin with an awkward look, isn’t it?

is even better.

has a total of 20 episodes of suspense drama, which is divided into two parts. One "Blind Spot" has 6 episodes; the other "The Overboard" has 14 episodes. The "Blind Spot" chapter has Xia Yu as the core of the story; the "Drowner" chapter has Luo Jin as the core of the story.

One universe, two stories. It can be seen that "Uncle Li" and the screenwriter's fingerprints are trying to play something new this time: parallel universe narrative. The editor of

is sure that this is definitely a dish of domestic suspense. What's even more rare is that

has the ambition to open up a new path for domestic dramas.

Not convinced? Now, open the "disk".

1, Fingerprint + Zhang Li, isn’t this creative lineup the best in Chinese dramas?

The most core factor that determines the quality of a drama is the director.

There are two directors of "Outside the Court", each directing a chapter, and they happen to be a master-disciple pair. Master

is named Zhang Li.

Since the 1990s, Zhang Li has done photography for famous directors such as Ye Daying , Chen Guoxing , Feng Xiaogang , especially the latter. The two successively collaborated on " A Sigh " and " Big Shots ". Waiting for many videos.

When Zhang Li was still working as a photographer, his work was extremely strict. Once he got angry on the set, the consequences would be serious, so there is a line in "A World Without Thieves", "Uncle Li is very angry, and the consequences will be serious."

In 2003, Zhang The historical drama "Going to the Republic", directed by Li and written by Sheng Heyu, was broadcast on CCTV 1. This drama has been in preparation for many years and is full of epic temperament. The longer it accumulates, the higher its reputation will be. In the end, Douban stopped at a high score of 9.6 points. .

After filming "Toward the Republic", Zhang Li still had his thoughts and teamed up with Liu Heping to produce the work "Ming Dynasty 1566".

Liu Heping’s heroic words back then are still mentioned by drama fans. “The release of this drama marks the maturity of Chinese long-form TV dramas.”

"Ming Dynasty 1566" failed to achieve high ratings in the end, but it once again reached the top of the pyramid of domestic drama reputation, with a score of 9.7 on Douban.

Later, Zhang Li found another great screenwriter, Jiang Qitao.Hence " The Righteous Way in the World Is Vicissitudes of Life ". The rating of this drama ranks only third among the historical dramas directed by Zhang Li, with a score of 9.2 on Douban, which is enough to beat most domestic dramas.

After three dramas, Zhang Li has few rivals in the field of historical dramas.

Regardless of the Jiajing court or the historical events of the late Qing Dynasty, they all have a unique flavor under his lens. The group drama is particularly exciting, with countless classic characters.

In addition, Liu Bei's " Military Secrets", Li Xuejian's "The Young Marshal", Zhang Guoli, Song Jia's " Once Upon a Time in China" are all works directed by Zhang Li.

In "Outside the Court", Zhang Li directed 6 episodes of "Blind Spot".

The director of "The Overboard" is Zhang Li's student Huang Wei, who is a photographer. Huang Wei served as the cameraman for the period drama " Bailuyuan ". The series "大江大河" is co-directed by Huang Wei. This time, he finally took the lead. The two directors of

jointly tell two stories in parallel in the same world and in different time and space. The story of

is about me among you, and you among me. The master and apprentice join forces and have a tacit understanding that is invincible. This ace card has already won at the starting line.

Judging from the trailer of "Outside the Court", this is definitely a suspense drama with a very high quality and strong style.

The story begins with a vicious murder and dismemberment case.

How long has it been since I saw such a straightforward and exciting opening of a Chinese drama? The

murder case soon triggered a series of stories: an excellent judge was trapped in a mystery. An honest lawyer was imprisoned.

The rapid cuts of scenes highlight the coming danger. The different expressions on people's faces tell hidden clues. Everyone is pointing their finger at the male protagonist played by Luo Jin, but the truth is not that simple.

"Should I be a good lawyer or a good lawyer?"

"Only children make choices, adults want them all."

It seems that Zhang Li, who is good at improving the quality of Chinese dramas Take advantage of your talents to the fullest. The story of

fingerprint’s contribution this time still happened in Hong Kong and Tianjin. The story style of

is still the suspenseful serial cases that he is good at, and he still adopts the two-hero story mode that he is good at.

If the script level of "Outside the Court" continues the level of "Rebirth", it will only be considered above the level. But if Fingerprint regains the status of "White Night", it will definitely be a hit.

2. The ambition of this suspense drama may exceed your expectations.

Now, let’s take a look at the story.

The story of "Blind Spot" takes place within sixteen hours. Judge Lu Nan (played by Xia Yu) went on a short business trip to Nanjin to report to the president in person, and was asked to help with the details of a "bizarre incident" that happened nine years ago. The review of the death penalty for "The Tragedy of Dismembered Corpses". In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Lunan teamed up with his friend Qiao Shaoting (played by Luo Jin) in Tianjin and Hong Kong, and relied on their "extreme operations" to overcome many crises and finally solved the real mystery of the corpse case.

Through this thrilling journey, Qiao Shaoting also accidentally obtained important clues to the "bizarre case without a corpse" that he was following up on - the "Chen Man Gang Smuggling Case."

Watch "The Overboard Man" again, another unit of the "Outside the Court" series.

As soon as the show opens, there is a bizarre case without a corpse, which stirs up the legal affairs of Tianjin and Hong Kong! The protagonist Qiao Shaoting (played by Luo Jin) was framed as a criminal suspect while representing the case and fell into the darkest moment of his life.

Faced with many crises, he partnered with the outstanding young lawyer Xiao Zhen (played by Jiao Junyan) to jointly follow up the death penalty review of the case. And his persistence also brought to light the undercurrents of Jinfu and Dezhi law firms in Jinggang City.

It is not difficult to see that this fingerprint story has three major highlights. Highlight 1 of

: The pace is fast, the two story sections are interconnected and full of tension.

"Outside the Court" has a total of 20 episodes. The story related to the "bizarre case without a body" in "The Blind Spot" is the main line of "The Man Who Drowned". The protagonists of the two units, Xia Yu and Luo Jin, will also appear in the other unit.

From the perspective of characters and plot, "Outside the Court" belongs to the category of suspense dramas. "Blind Spot" focuses on criminal investigation themes, while "The Overboard" has both legal and criminal genres. Judging from the key information extracted from the trailer, the 20-episode story tells at least three major cases. Behind the case, there is a mysterious mastermind who is willing to put the male protagonist played by Luo Jin in jail to achieve his goal.

From a structural point of view, this is another "double male protagonist" setting. Lu Nan is in the light and Qiao Shaoting is in the dark. One wants to investigate the case, and the other wants to find the truth and clear his innocence.

As the investigation deepens, the truth of the "bizarre case without a body" is gradually revealed, but at the same time, another case becomes increasingly confusing. The story is full of dramatic tension. Highlight 2 of

: It’s refreshing, and the conflicts are eye-catching.

It can be said that no matter which part, "Outside the Court" quickly opens the curtain of the drama through a large number of characters and events, it can be called bright and exciting. Such a neat technique has never been seen in domestic dramas.

The opening scene shows criminals brutally dismembering and dumping their bodies in the wilderness. After the principal culprit in the

murder case was arrested, his co-defendant Li Mengqi remained missing.

And Li Mengqi is likely to have undergone plastic surgery and become the leader of the smuggling gang in Dongjiang Port, which is Wan Qian's role.

A serious crime, face-changing, the protagonist being wronged, and two male protagonists in danger. It can be said that the whole story is high-energy, full of twists and turns, and full of the pleasure of mental confrontation.

Highlight 3: The fate of the male protagonist is full of drama, and the story is full of suspense.

In sync with the suspense of the case, the male protagonist Qiao Shaoting was trapped in a black hole. Because he came into contact with the interests of the mastermind behind the scenes, he encountered various conspiracies and schemes.

was once the best lawyer in Jinggang City and became a prisoner. This character is obviously "deep in darkness", but he is "facing the light". All kinds of suspense are thrown out at the same time, and the good and evil characters quickly surround him. This drama becomes more than half, and the suspense is born from this:

experienced After being investigated, framed, and losing his personal freedom, can Qiao Shaoting escape safely? Restoring innocence?

How can he peel off the cocoon and get closer to the truth of the case step by step through a series of extreme operations?

What kind of danger will Xia Yu's line encounter? At this point, the two male protagonists have a mutual contrasting effect of "1+1>2".

Once this story is told, it will be so exciting.

3. The acting skills of 10 powerful actors are guaranteed.

To break it down, "Outside the Court" has brought together a total of ten powerful actors.

ranks first, Luo Jin.

"Outside the Court" is definitely an unprecedented breakthrough for Luo Jin: from being a hot-selling lawyer to being in the predicament of having his license revoked, his hair is messy and his beard is unkempt, and he is even pushed to the edge of collapse and shouts: "I did it!" He also experienced a thrilling moment when someone strangled his neck with a rope in the car.

In short, this lawyer who once claimed to be a lawyer who helped drowning people has become a drowning person himself.

This time, it should be a tough battle for "actor Luo Jin". Qiao Shaoting is probably the character in this play that the audience pays the most attention to and has the most empathy for. If he plays it well, he will undoubtedly be an extremely brilliant character. How good is

? Think about Sun Chun , Sun Honglei , Huang Zhizhong in Zhang Li's drama.

is second, Xia Yu.

Xia Yu won the Venice Best Actor at the age of 17.

After becoming famous as a young boy, he did not have any worries and acted steadily. When it came to the role of Da Jinya in "The Secret of the Dragon", the audience found that Xia Yu's character creation ability and performance aura have never changed.

" antique game middle game " also has an improved quality due to Xia Yu's performance. This time he plays the role of Judge Lunan, who is not only smart and smart, but also willing to take risks alone when investigating the truth. This role feels like it was prepared for Xia Yu, and the suspense seems to be only: How brilliant will it be?

third place, Wan Qian.

This is a domestic suspense drama with a role that has already been dazzling in the trailer, and we finally see the femme fatale again.

Chen Man. The leader of the smuggling group in the play may also have undergone a face change. In the trailer, Wan Qian has short hair and is smart, with an expression of charm and contempt, but also a hint of determination.It's like sharpening the knife carefully in the first half, holding back the edge, and you can only faintly glimpse the light of the knife. Sooner or later, there will be a final coup de grace.

is really looking forward to this actress's performance in the drama.

ranks fourth, Jiao Junyan. The role played by

is also very interesting. He was determined to replace Lawyer Qiao, played by Luo Jin, but he became the key partner in clearing suspicion and finding out the truth. Among the Mesozoic actresses in China, Jiao Junyan should be at the forefront for her strong plasticity, she can be both sassy and soft, but it is a pity that she has only limited good roles. It depends on whether she can catch the role of

.

fifth place, Huo Qing.

is recognized as a powerful actor in Chinese dramas. He has appeared in many masterpieces in recent years.

In Gao Xixi's "New Three Kingdoms", Lu Su, played by Huo Qing, has received a lot of praise. In "大江大河2", he plays the role of Factory Manager Ma, who has a complicated personality.

Huo Qing's most impressive role in recent years is that of the villain. Once Huo Qing plays the bad guy, the protagonist group will suffer. Because once he takes action, he must be a ruthless character with a deep, reserved and extremely high IQ.

In this drama, he plays a top figure in the local legal profession. He says to Luo Jin's character: You just don't follow the rules.

One line of dialogue reveals the domineering power.

Suspense dramas are most afraid of the lack of strength of the villain. With such a ruthless character, the drama will certainly be good to watch.

ranks sixth, Gao Ye.

Whether it is Li Xiangxiang in " Chang'an Twelve Hours " or Liang Anni in " I am Yu Huanshui ", Gao Ye can always outline the sexy tension of the character in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. She is also one of the female Tsing Yis best at playing femme fatales in current Chinese dramas.

is ranked seventh, Li Guangjie.

Director Zhang Li's old star, in "Toward a Republic", the fledgling Li Guangjie plays the role of Emperor Guangxu . Although Li Guangjie has not become popular in recent years, his acting skills have always been online. After his performance in "The Wind Rises in Longxi" caused controversy, it is time to prove himself this time.

ranks eighth, Zhang Lingxin .

Jiang Yafei in "Parental Love" and "My First Half of Life" made Zhang Lingxin well-known to the audience.

In fact, she also has a suspense drama series in which she plays the leading role alone, " Bone Language ". This time she plays not a forensic doctor but a policewoman. This suspenseful face is just right in this drama.

is ranked ninth, Li Zonghan.

was the "No. 1 youngster" in the Republic of China. In recent years, he has appeared most in urban dramas. But Li Zonghan actually has a very dramatic face.

Once put into a suspense drama, there is a charm that makes it difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

is the tenth, practice.

has frequently appeared in the drama "Noon Sunshine" in recent years. In "Meeting Time", she played the role of Chen Xing'er who has been stalking Lei Jiayin .

Generally speaking, the biggest feeling given by the trailer is that in this story, it is difficult to tell who is the cat and who is the mouse. Who is the ghost? Who are people?

The water in Tianjin Port is too deep. A stone thrown in stirs up the sediment on the bottom of the river, muddying the clarity on the surface.

But only in this way can there be fun.

The suspense genre is one of the most popular genres for domestic dramas at the moment. "Outside the Court" has the ambition and strength to reach the top, but the editor is not looking forward to simply replicating the glory of a genre, but to be good at serving as a national drama. Zhang Li, who has expanded his territory, has paved a new path for domestic suspense dramas.

success or failure, the answer is tonight.
