Catch up with the script of the process, "Detective of the Republic of China" was almost unfinished.
The film adaptation of agatha christie’s works in recent years is often not very successful.
On the one hand, the mystery novels of "Grandma" are too classic and have been put on the screen for countless times. The adaptation is difficult and difficult to control;
On the other hand, the creator is clever, in order to renovate magic change’s plot, resulting in lengthy preparation and sloppy reasoning.
At the beginning of the year, the tragedy on the Nile directed by kenneth branagh was criticized by many people, who were narcissistic, crude and unable to grasp the key points.
Recently, iQiyi launched a unit reasoning drama "Detective of the Republic of China". Also adapted from the works of "Grandma",And it is the first authorization in China..
Hu Yitian and Leon, the main characters of this drama, were successful in the circle two years ago because of the CP in "Detective of the Republic of China", so today’s "Detective of the Republic of China" came into being.
However, this drama is not a sequel or derivative, but a brand-new story is nested on the basis of Erda.
On the first day of launch, the heat soared to the top five of the whole network. However, the first few episodes were disappointing, and it was almost certain that this wasA "water and soil"The adaptation of "not satisfied".

Catch up with the script of the process
Corresponding to Europe in the First World War written by "Apo", this drama skillfully puts the story in the Republic of China.
The protagonist Situ Yan (Hu Yi Tian) is a frustrated lawyer, corresponding to the private detective Poirot in the novel.
At the beginning of the story, a gunman killed a director of Beiyang government at the railway station. Later, he was caught by detective Luo Shaochuan (Leon) on the spot.
In the court trial, Situ Yan attended as the plaintiff’s lawyer. In the face of irrefutable evidence, the defendant, Ma Shiying, just smiled contemptuously and used his foreign status to successfully get away with it.
Instead, Stuart Yan was detained for arguing."If you don’t follow the law, you won’t bend the law.Correct "The hat.
When leaving Beiping, Situ Yan was accidentally involved in a gun theft case. With extraordinary reasoning ability, Luo Shaochuan’s lost pistol was recovered and the past was cleared up with him.
Then I entered.Murder on the Orient Express.The plot-
At the invitation of Luo Shaochuan, Situyan got on the first-class carriage of Orient Express. Unfortunately, rival Ma Shiying is also in this car. The appearance of newspaper reporters has pushed the war between the two people to the extreme.
The next day, Ma Shiying was killed, and all the blame was directed at Situyan. In order to prove his innocence, he and Luo Shaochuan took the initiative to investigate the case.
Judging from the play, the foreshadowing design in front of Detective of the Republic of China is very reasonable. The legal frustration also implies that Situ Yan turned to be a detective in the later plot.
The plot is linked together, and the relationship between the characters is clearly presented.
However, with the development of the case, all kinds of defects were exposed.
Regardless of whether the opening of Murder on the Orient Express will affect the suspense of the play, after all, the story has been told over and over again for countless times.
As far as the whole case process is concerned,It’s like a script killing in a hurry..
After getting into the topic, the passengers on the express train began to tell their perfect alibi one by one, and all the reasoning processes were completed by the skill bonus of the protagonist.
The film and television works with the theme of reasoning test the skill of the director and the screenwriter. Besides the atmosphere building, suspense building, details paving and the relationship between characters, the audience’s sense of participation is also very important.
However, in contrast to this drama, the story is straightforward and lacks dramatic tension, and the cheap Hengdian scenery also makes people play from time to time. The overall texture is the same as the reasoning reality show.
Failed adaptation
Eight novels of Agatha have been adapted in this play. Apart from the aforementioned Murder on the Orient Express, the rest are Roger’s Mystery, Campus Mystery, Dentist’s Murder, Beer Murder, Prime Minister’s Kidnapping, Three Acts Tragedy and Curtain.
According to the number of episodes that have been broadcast, every three episodes have one unit, and the time allocation of each unit is almost equivalent to the volume of a movie.
But it is stillFailed adaptation.
First of all, the biggest feature of Agatha’s novels lies in the detailed display of the multifaceted and complicated characters.Psychological worldReaders can get a glimpse of the deepest secrets of criminals through their behavior.
The psychological description in literature is internalized, while the psychological description in images needs to be externalized, which is quite difficult.
This kind of externalization can be displayed not simply by narration, but by writers’ lines and actors’ expressions.
Unfortunately, this drama ignores this point. It was not until the end of the first unit that the psychological activities of some characters were faintly revealed. Faced with the choice between law and reason, Situ Yan finally stood on the side of reason and gave up the law she adhered to.
Secondly,People lack resonance..
Agatha’s characters are by no means scrawled, and their action chains are complete.
As far as the nine "murderers" in the first unit of this drama are concerned, they are purely tools for investigating cases, and it is difficult to leave a deep impression.
The three main characters in the previous book "The Wonders of the Republic of China" have quite full personality settings.
Lu Yao, played by Hu Yi Tian, has a high IQ and strong reasoning, but he is greedy for money and occasionally naive. He is an out-and-out egoist.
Qiao Chusheng, played by Leon, has a gangster background, but he is honest, kind, affectionate and righteous.
The two men have a skill and a skill, and their personalities complement each other.
Bai Youning (Shane), the only girl in the crime detection group, is independent and brave, which seems to be the neutralization of the two.
On the other hand, in Detective of the Republic of China, the setting of characters is quite stiff.
Both Stuart Yan and Luo Shaochuan are cold and unruly.
What’s even more ridiculous is that Luo Shaochuan, whose front foot is still holding his head high and mocking Stuart Yan’s exports, willingly accompanied him to investigate the case with his back foot.
Naturally, the lack of contrast in personality has also weakened the "CP sense" of this in-drama catalysis.
Some people may ask, is there no heroine in this play?
Yes, the fourth episode just came out …
Furthermore,Lots of bugs,The logic is not careful enough.
For example, in the opening court trial drama, it is obvious that the fingerprint on the pistol is more powerful evidence, so we must first come up with a bunch of bluffing rhetoric:
People come and go at the railway station. How do you judge that the physical conditions of someone in the place are consistent with the murderer?
Even those who are ignorant of law know that physical evidence is more reliable than speculation. If I were a murderer, I wouldn’t believe it either.
For another example, in the scene where Situyan and Ma Shiying met their enemies on the train, a group of newspaper reporters rushed out of the first-class box and were then driven back to the first-class box.
After the story, we never saw these tool people reporters again, only the only reporter role Jin Qiming (manifesto decoration) was left.
And according to the dictation of the flight attendant, the first-class box is not connected with other boxes. …
Excuse me, did other reporters disappear out of thin air?
Mystery of the Republic of China can be regarded as an original detective drama in the true sense, with a moderate plot rhythm, distinctive and interesting characters and a good key CP. …
But in "Detective of the Republic of China", the screenwriter gave up his originality, and the investigation became a script to catch up with the process. The people were not clearly set, and CP relied on the creator’s subjective imagination.
In fact, this also shows the impetuous mentality of the creators in the process of adaptation for the market and the audience.
At present, "Detective of the Republic of China" has a public score of 6.5 in the "Phoenix Net Index-Comprehensive List of Movies" applet, but the professional score is not available for the time being.
