TVB has recently made headlines again, and it is rumored to be acquired by a small Hong Kong company called " Legend Pictures ". (It's not the legendary film industry in the United States)
Remind that this year marks the 50th anniversary of TVB, it's really a bit sad.
Is the former TV empire really gone?
is not necessarily true. Today, Sir wants to recommend a new TVB drama to you, another low-key good drama -
"Fan"
Producer and screenwriter are both Wang Xinwei . You may feel strange to the name, but you must have watched her drama - the most classic " Fire Ambition " series (Ah! Childhood Memories Kill!). And in recent years, "Walking with the Enemy", " Heroes ", " Giant Wheel ", and " Fatal Resurrection ", are all works with good reputation and ratings.
Hong Kong drama fans have commented that she is Qi Qiyi second.
771 refers to "Qi Qi Yi", the producer of "Golden Branches" and "Heaven and Earth"
"Fan" only scored more than 300 people on Douban, but it scored a high score of
said it was " magic drama " -
How is it magical? Sir will tell you this.
plot simply put, it is a TVB-style "cat and mouse" story about a useless policeman, an elite female reporter and a low-level casual worker, focusing on a kidnapping case. In the first episode of
, Wang Xinwei's ambition is seen.
imitates the shooting techniques of the movie and plays multi-line narrative , which is very rare in TVB episodes .
The first line is detective Wan Qiaobai played by Zheng Jiaying . She is afraid of death and mother-in-law. The first thing she thinks of when performing a mission is to save her life.
Aged single loser, in order to chase the stewardess, he went to the beauty center to queue up and compete with a bunch of teacher-in-law for cheap beauty devices.
Is it particularly like the opening of a property?
The second line is Tian Ruini 's interview director Ji Yingyan, who looks glorious on the surface, a strong woman, with a style and capital.
in fact, it often fails to make ends meet. The second husband doesn't work, and he even asks for money when he fails in business. He is a scumbag in capital.
Ji Yingyan also has a daughter who is in high school. She has a disagreement with her stepfather and is willful and rebellious.
The third line is Zhang Ke (played by King Kong) from the mainland, who just got his Hong Kong ID card.
Think you have entered the road to a well-off society in Hong Kong? Not.
still does ordinary jobs such as cleaners, cashiers, and decorators. Because he is too loyal (fool), stupid (stupid), and easy to meddle in other people's business, he is often furious.
These three lines are parallel to the narrative, and the first crossing is a butterfly effect.
Of course, this is just a small dessert given by the screenwriter. I remind you that these three people seem to be irrelevant, but there is actually a space.
In the second episode, Wan Qiaobai ran back to the Hualidu Building in Tsim Sha Tsui (the beauty center is on the 5th floor of the building) because of his handcuffs.
Because his daughter was cheated of money at the model training center (3rd floor of Hualidu Building), Ji Yingyan also arrived at the building in time.
Zhang Ke and his sister had just moved into this building and found an errand to work as a cleaner in the building.
On the other side, two underworld gangs were also ambushing the building.
Several gangsters who pry the door and robbed the house (right); gangsters who robbed the banknote car (left).
Several lines gathered in the Hualidu Building, and it seemed that it was about to collide, but the screenwriter suddenly closed the lines (just like this kind of restraint), leaving only a few dramatic encounters.
The gangster who entered the house and robbed met Ji Yingyan.
million Qiao Bo collided with the leader who robbed the banknote car.
Zhang Ke picked up Wan Qiaobai's handcuffs. After
, several people returned to their respective life tracks.
But several groups of characters start to intersect from here.For example -
000 Qiao Bo broke the major case because of this accidental meeting and was lucky enough to solve the case and was directly promoted to the serious case team for inspection.
can be seen that the screenwriter has cast a big net. Three groups of characters and gangster power have been spread out. The plot has now progressed, and several groups of characters have met because of a kidnapping case.
Sir is planning to chase and see how this big network is preparing to collect.
Wang Xinwei's dramas in recent years are good at writing complex and multi-faceted characters with ups and downs, wandering in the gray area.
"Walking with the Enemy" and "Deadly Resurrection" Guo Jinan is a classic example. They were originally elites from the upper class and kind-hearted. At the mercy of fate, he turned around and became a cruel and ruthless character.
This time there is no Guo Jinan, but Tian Ruini, who is also Wang Xinwei's official actor.
Tian Ruini won the TVB Best Actress in 2013, relying on "The Great Wheel" directed by Wang Xinwei.
In "The Mysterious", Ji Yingyan, played by Tian Ruini, is smart and capable at work, but her personal emotions are messy. I can't get rid of my scumbag husband and I'm too doting on my daughter. The tragedy of this character was laid from the beginning.
turned black in the end. For the sake of his daughter's tuition fees for going abroad, she took the risk to collect bribes; after being kidnapped and tore up her tickets, she fell into complete madness and wanted to take revenge at all costs.
See what is the post-visual murderous aura
But if you blindly turn into a black character, the audience will get tired of watching it for a long time. Wang Xinwei also understood.
So this time, the protagonist is not Tian Ruini, but the useless detective played by Zheng Jiaying.
TVB's classic police image is a "Sir" who is law-abiding, has high IQ and is brave.
For example, "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" -
And in order to save his life and take care of his only niece, Wan Qiaobai is a mediocre loser in the police station, timid and petty.
But just like this, he had a smooth journey, with a promotion and a salary increase.
This brings out Wang Xinwei's positioning of this drama " absurd ", which is not suspense, not power struggle, but paradoxical fate and absurd reality. Such absurdity as
still exists in Zhang Ke, a low-level little man. He works harder than others, but every job is fired. He clearly has a warm heart and is determined to be a good citizen of Hong Kong, but in the end he is "a thief". The contrast of
is one layer higher than direct blackening.
Wang Xinwei made another big breakthrough in a low-key manner.
So Sir believes that with such a self-breakthrough IP, Hong Kong dramas will still be interesting.
