Review
editThis section may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience.(March 2024) |
Under the presupposition that the plot does not focus on major and important cases, "Police Honor" uses wonderful group dramas to construct group portraits of grassroots policemen, and explores what "police honor" is. This drama is different from the thrilling confrontation between police and robbers in conventional criminal investigation dramas, focusing on "small" everywhere. Starting from a small point, it tells about all aspects of police work in Balihe Police Station from the perspective of young policemen, and shows the life of grassroots policemen from the handling of some conflicts and disputes in people's lives. The tense intellectual and physical confrontation between the thoughtful criminal policeman and the cold-blooded killer cannot be seen in "Bali River". The screenwriter used the careful observation of grassroots life to write the most flesh-and-blood portraits of the characters. Not only that, the grassroots policemen "speak human words", less big words and empty words, which make people listen to it very pleasantly, and it also reflects the major breakthrough in the concept of creation of this type of drama-ordinary characters are heroes.
Although the tone of the play is a light comedy, in the narrative of life, seeking praise for the daily work of the police is the original intention of creation. Therefore, we have seen TV series use the most common police station stories to realize the praise of the grassroots police. And this kind of praise is integrated into the specific life narrative, which is where the screenwriter's creative wisdom lies. In fact, the focus of life-oriented narrative dramas is on character creation. As long as the role is successfully portrayed, the audience is willing to follow. At the beginning of the play, a long shot and a ten-minute scene with Wang Jingchun alone achieved this very well. From the phone call between director Wang Shouyi and his immediate boss, the audience can capture the basic situation and characteristics of the four newcomers who are about to report to the grassroots. As a result, not only did the image of a sophisticated and sleek director of the police station stand up, but the audience also had a preliminary impression of the four newcomers, completing a unique group portrait sketch. This kind of fast pace and the ability to create a group of characters is something that many of our young screenwriters do not have. It was this good play at the beginning that made people catch the signal of a good play.
It is undeniable that the play is loved by many audiences, especially young audiences, because it has opened up a life-oriented innovation road on the basis of genre dramas and traditional police stories with hard bridges and hard horses. . Comparing the show with recent hit cop dramas shows that most of the cases the show deals with are trivial by any stretch of the imagination, both in terms of portraying this particular industry. On the whole, looking for excitement, highlights, and intensive conflicts has never been what Zhao Dongling's screenwriting team loves, but pursuing life and natural expression of life has always been what Zhao Dongling is good at. Many of the works of this female screenwriter reflect her expertise. At the moment when police dramas are booming, audiences will definitely look forward to some different types of dramas in aesthetic fatigue. "Police Honor" breaks the stereotype of the police in the minds of the general public in a comedy way, with both humorous wit and humanitarian care. More importantly, it breaks the topic with a life-like style, weaves new ideas, and weaves wonderful. ("Wen Wei Po" review)[9]
