Word of mouth transcends the "black storm". This "Northeast Crime Drama" is too strong.

In the past two years, there has been a new trend in the literary world, which has been nicknamed "Northeast Renaissance" by netizens.

The post-80s writers Shuang, Ban Yu and Zheng Zhi are known as the "three sons of Northeast Renaissance", and their works are very influential.

In particular, Shuangxuetao's novel Moses on the Plain presents a "northeast scar" with a crime story, which makes people see the new face of contemporary literature.

The movie of the same name adapted from it has a high voice from fans, but the schedule has been dragged on.

Fortunately, in the anxious waiting, a surprise suddenly came:

Recently, the online drama "Double Detective" taken over from "Sweeping the Black Storm" is similar in theme, consistent in style and good in quality to "Moses on the Plain".

Since its launch, it has scored more than 7.3 points in "Sweeping the Black Storm".

"Moses on the Plain" can't wait, and chasing the drama "Double Detective" can be regarded as quenching thirst.

Once you see it, you will soon find that this crime drama rooted in the Northeast is not as simple as "body double".

Northeast element, not just for fun.

Today, domestic crime dramas have been clearly divided into "overhead crime dramas" and "local crime dramas". "Sweeping the Black Storm" and "Double Detective" belong to the same category.

The difference is that the "Lvteng City" in "Sweeping the Black Storm" is a virtual Sin City, which has mixed the characteristics of Changsha, Hunan, Wuhan, Hubei and other cities and has no clear local characteristics.

The "Twin Towers" in Double Exploration is the embodiment of Yanji in Northeast China, and the whole play is full of northeast characteristics.

The uniqueness of the northeast is, first of all, cold and snow. Beijing Interpol went to the northeast to hunt down the murderer. On the way, he checked the local temperature, which was MINUS 19 degrees.

Three pure men clamored to go home and get clothes.

When we reach the Twin Towers, we can see all the snow. The legendary fertile black land is actually an endless snowfield.

The cold and rough northeast texture rushed directly to the audience.

Then there is the exclusive killing scene in Northeast China: forest farm.

Bear trap in the snowy mountains and forests ... ordinary cars can't get in, people are easy to get lost, and there is no signal on their mobile phones. ...

At night, the cold froze everything, and even the hardest person couldn't carry it.

No man's land for killing people, whether the murderer or the police, will not tell fortune if they can come out alive.

Chasing the county seat is another scene:

The dilapidated old industrial base in Northeast China, the big chimneys abandoned for many years, the Soviet-Russian buildings left over from history, and the asphalt roads covered with snow and mud. ...

The criminal police team was placed in the former site of the Cultural Palace. The radiator is in disrepair, the office is heated by the stove, and the cinema is on the first floor.

The "Northeast" of different times is intertwined, magical and realistic.

In the depression, the business of pubs is booming. In the spiritual world of men in Northeast China, the sky can fall and nothing can be delayed.

At night, there is no one in the street, and the local entertainment city is brightly lit.

Kidnappers, killers, hostess, proprietress, gangsters, police ... people from all walks of life gather together.

After several fierce battles, the bandits were brought to justice and the police suffered heavy losses.

Hollywood movies can be divided into half and half with Interpol, at least mercenaries with formal training.

In the northeast crime drama, this is just an ordinary gangster, playing normally.

The harsh natural environment and economic environment, coupled with the martial character spread since ancient times, have created a unique criminal culture in Northeast China.

Even the faces of law-abiding citizens are full of grievances and loyalty of male rivers and lakes.

The gang leader refused to confess, so the police invited the boss of the state-owned factory.

Master patted the table and left a sentence: "How did my hand break?" The bandit leader confessed at once.

This posture, laid-off workers, I know, I don't know, I thought it was a grandmaster.

There are many lines in Northeast dialect, all of which are black-faced men. Carelessness is a joke.

No matter who is sacred, the unified action after entering the room is to reach out and warm yourself.

All kinds of northeast elements, or big background, or small details, are everywhere in every scene of Double Detective.

Without the pre-history of "violent theft of materials from state-owned forest farms" and the true "northeast environment" and "northeast character", the whole story could not be established at all.

The strength of the team, not the marketing gimmick.

Because it was not broadcast on the star, and the style of "hardcore crime" is small, Double Detective gives people the illusion of "unpopular drama".

In fact, the creative team of Double Detective is quite luxurious.

Duan Long, the core creator, became a hit with the corner of "Old A" in Soldier Assault, and his excellent works continued all the year round. Later, he won many awards for his crime movies "The Burning Sun" and "The Coming Blizzard".

Play tough guy, COP, man. If Duan Long comes second, maybe no one dares to come first.

This time, besides acting, Lao Duan has a more important job: producer.

It can be said that the whole cast of "Double-faced Detective" revolves around Duan Long:

"My Head, My Regiment" starring several reunited, this is the first floor;

The producer, cameraman and stylist of Blizzard are reunited, which is the second floor;

"Forever" production designer and "Shadow" photographer joined, which is the third floor;

Liu Huaqiang's Wife, Tomb Raider Notes Wang Pangzi and other powerful actors from Northeast China joined in. This is the fourth floor.

With Duan Long as the center, all the great gods go into battle together, which can be called the "strongest dream team" of the crime network drama.

Super team could have been a beautiful marketing stunt.

Unfortunately, many viewers have not got the existence of double agents until now.

The comprehensive heat is in the top ten of the whole network, the platform station is seventh, and there is almost no hot search.

The mismatch between the main innovation level and the heat level has a great relationship with the initial intention of the project.

According to Duan Long, the original plan of Double Detective was to make a movie, but with the availability of resources, the creative team changed their minds: Why not create an excellent online drama with film texture?

The cast of the film, the initial intention of the film, and the film-style announcement that emphasizes roadshows and ignores gimmicks, the "no routine marketing" of Double Detective obviously lacks the "network sense" that online drama should have.

In casting, double agent is also lack of network sense.

Except for the male No.2 Dapeng, there is no star with its own traffic in the whole drama. However, Dapeng's tendency of literary films in the past two years, as well as the controversy of wind reviews, is doomed to be unable to support much heat.

Female No.1 Zeng emiko, the best actress in the literary and artistic film circle, has no such person in the online drama circle.

In contrast, "Sweeping the Black Storm" made a copy of the thin film of Lei Hejiang, and "Skyscraper" customized "Recall and Kill the Heroine" for Angelababy, which is obviously much smarter.

On the road of the rise of online drama, whether it is "pride by strength" or "ignorance of marketing" requires longer-term market feedback.

A good domestic drama is not an imitation of an American drama.

Some netizens called The Double-faced Detective "China's version of Ice Blood Storm".

This statement roughly contains two meanings:

First, it is a praise for the excellent domestic dramas.

Over the years, the quality of American TV series, English TV series, Korean TV series and Japanese TV series is obviously higher than the average quality of domestic TV series. To say that a domestic drama is "like an American drama" is an affirmation of the level of the drama.

Second, it is the excessive worship of foreign dramas.

In the past decade, the quality of domestic TV dramas and online dramas has improved, but some netizens still stay in the stereotype that "American dramas are the best and Chinese dramas are the worst". When they see excellent online dramas, they forcibly call them "imitation American dramas".

For example, last year's online drama Detective Chinatown was branded as "Sherlock China" because of its suspense and lively rhythm.

However, Sherlock's fans quickly said: except for the similar theme and the similar aura of the protagonist, there is not much comparability in the whole play.

Similarly, "Double-faced Detective" and "Ice Blood Storm" do have similarities:

Crime stories, ice and snow, animal traps, butchers, cold room killings ...

However, by careful comparison, the styles, themes and cultural temperament of the two dramas do not overlap much.

The strong "northeast crime smell" in Double Detective can emerge from the black soil, from the scars of the times, and will never float out of the United States.

A good domestic drama is not a copy of American drama.

Learning foreign high-quality works can certainly improve the level of creation.

But it is more important to dig deep into the local cultural characteristics, make the story and artistic style down-to-earth and eliminate the stereotype of "suspense" and "water injection".

With the promotion of Duan Long to producer and the release of Double Detective, we have reason to believe that:

The "China Road" of domestic dramas is getting wider and wider, and the next stop of this road will make China fans who never give up feel gratified and proud.
