In her previous life, Xiao Qian had not watched too many movies and TV shows about police officers.
If he were asked to choose the best one among them, he would definitely choose "The Signal" without hesitation.
Of course, in Xiao Qian's opinion, the quality of "Signal" is not the wonderful plot, the beautiful scenes, or the imaginative logical reasoning.
In his previous life, he had seen many comments on the forum, and they all classified "Signal" as a very imaginative genre.
He would only smile at this statement.
In his opinion, the best thing about "Signal" is actually the deep humanistic care and thinking about social phenomena contained in it.
As for the twists and turns of the thrilling plot, the wonderful and beautiful fights, the strangeness of time travel and communication, etc., they are all just expression techniques.
"Do you know why unsolved cases are disgusting? Because it is a case where we have found out who the criminal is and what the motive is. We know why and for what reason my family died. No matter how painful it is, as time passes, it can be buried deep in my heart.
.But the case remains unsolved. My family and the people I love don’t know why they died. They can’t forget it. Every day is like hell.”
When many people face a case, they look at it with the mentality of just watching the excitement.
So-and-so died miserably. Oh, you didn’t see it. The blood was flowing...
Who did you say did that? He was a ruthless person.
Tsk tsk, such a good girl died like that and was blind for nothing.
The indifference of human nature revealed in various remarks is enough to make people shudder.
But no one ever cared about how the victims felt? Why did they encounter such a bad luck?
"You are not the only one who has precious family members, these people do too. Do you really have no feelings for these people? You should be legitimately sorry! They were not in the arms of their beloved family members, but died fearfully on the cold ground.
At least one person cannot forget them."
"Although some people are monsters from birth, there are also monsters created by others. If someone can reach out to him, Jin Zhenyu and the dead victims may be saved."
The more he recalled it, the more emotion Xiao Qian felt, but he couldn't do anything with his pen.
He knows very well that although "Signal" is good, it cannot be produced yet.
It’s not that it’s technically impossible to shoot, but that many plots cannot be realized at this time.
Even if the time span is not enough, you cannot explain to the audience of this era what the Internet is and what a search engine is.
At the very least, many things in the play did not exist in China in the 1990s.
Since "The Signal" doesn't work, what about "Infernal Affairs"?
Xiao Qian shook his head again.
"Infernal Affairs" is a classic, but it is a movie. Secondly, the most exciting thing about "Infernal Affairs" is the showdown between police and robbers, in which there is not much concern for the police.
Thinking of Yang Huai's weathered face and frosty white hair, Xiao Qian felt that these lovely people deserved more understanding.
It's a pity that in his impression, in so many movies and TV dramas, there are many works that depict the bravery and fearlessness of the police and their courage to sacrifice, but there are very few works that care about the police themselves, and even fewer of them are of high quality.
In this case, there is nothing we can do.
You have to rely on heaven and earth, and ultimately you have to rely on yourself.
Xiao Qian felt that he should complete this work with pious respect.
He studied screenwriting at school, although he was still at an entry-level level. If he didn't plagiarize previous classics, he wasn't very confident. But everyone has his first time, so he has to give it a try.
With this in mind, Xiao Qian raised her hand and wrote the title on the notebook.
"Tranquility", the title of the play is very simple.
The existence of the police is not to protect the peace of the world.
In addition, the title of the play has another meaning. That is, the plot shows an ordinary story of an ordinary policeman.
Of course, it may not be ordinary.
With this idea in mind, Xiao Qian began to create the plot.
In the first act, at the beginning, a group of police officers walked into a residential house.
The person who opened the door was a slightly slovenly middle-aged woman, who looked very surprised when she saw the police.
The camera switches, and the house is very messy, with various household items showing a state that has not been sorted out.
A policeman asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, why are you the only one doing housework?"
The middle-aged woman looked very irritable.
"If I can't do it alone, who else can do it? In and out of this family, what can't be done by me?"
The policeman asked again: "Don't Lao Liang usually help you?"
The middle-aged woman was angry.
"When did he play house? Is there such a person in this family? After all these years, it's not just us, mother and son, living together?"
The policeman explained it to Lao Liang.
"Don't Lao Liang have a mission?"
The middle-aged woman threw the things in her hands and became angry.
"Missions, missions every day, missions every year, how can a little policeman get so many missions? Whatever, I'm used to it. Do you know that every time he mentions missions, I treat him as dead.
"
Amid the anger of the middle-aged woman, all the police officers looked sad.
This paragraph is the beginning of the script, but it is actually the ending.
Xiao Qian used a flashback technique to first write out the ending of the male protagonist Lao Liang.
Lao Liang is an ordinary policeman who has been in the police force for more than 20 years and is an old man at the police station in his jurisdiction.
As a policeman at a police station, what I face in my daily work is naturally that the parents in my jurisdiction are petty and trivial. It’s not a big deal, but I’m always busy.
Lao Liang, who was always busy, was like this. He couldn't help at all with family matters, and he was often away from home during holidays.
As a police officer, Moran is used to always running the housework alone.
Her biggest wish is that Lao Liang can be promoted to a more stable position as soon as possible so that he can spend more time helping his family.
Xiao Qian knows very well that although this drama depicts the story of a small character, the plot must not be ordinary. Otherwise, it will not attract the audience.
So Lao Liang came out after the opening scene, his face was covered in blood, and he looked very scary.
Two vendors at the vegetable market in the jurisdiction got into a fight over a conflict and even used a knife. Seeing that the situation was getting serious, the police were of course dispatched.
There is an unspoken rule in the creation of film and television scripts.
That is, when it comes to the subplots of minor characters, it is best to use comedy writing.
In this way, it can enhance the audience's interest, create twists and turns in the plot, and form a natural buffer for the plot.
Here, Xiao Qian adopted this method.
Faced with people wielding sharp weapons, the police at the police station are also afraid, and no one dares to step in. But it is their duty to do so, and they have to do it.
So Lao Liang came out.
He didn't come out on his own initiative. One of his colleagues stuck a foot out from behind and kicked him in.
However, regardless of whether it was active or passive, a fight ended smoothly because of Lao Liang's intervention.
Lao Liang's face was full of trouble, and his head was wrapped like a mummy.
When Moran returned home, he was not surprised when he saw him. On the contrary, he made sarcastic remarks.
But the food placed in front of Lao Liang was hot, and Lao Liang devoured it.
What Moran is most dissatisfied with Lao Liang is that he works hard but can't get anything, and he doesn't even care about his family.
Lao Liang felt guilty and repeatedly promised that he would care more about his family in the future.
Moran took the opportunity to propose that Lao Liang go to school to attend a parent-teacher meeting.
Lao Liang had no choice but to go to his child's school for the first time.
Originally, the teacher was very angry about Lao Liang's child's naughty nature and wanted to have a good talk with the parents. But when he saw the blood coming out of Lao Liang's head, he misunderstood Lao Liang's identity and treated the child as if he were a good student.
Lao Liang was very happy. On the way home, he said he wanted to reward his son.
My son took the opportunity to say that he wanted to go to KFC.
Xiao Qian remembered the joke about going to KFC for the first time in her previous life, so she integrated this part into the plot, creating a lot of laughter.
While eating KFC with his son, the conversation between father and son was completely off-kilter, and they ended up breaking up on bad terms.
This paragraph is mainly to show that Lao Liang is busy with work and lacks concern for the growth of his children. It is also to show the helplessness of police work.
Xu Wan, a young man new to the police station, has great ambitions. He has read many stories about heroes since he was a child, and he believes that he can become a real hero after becoming a policeman.
However, the work at the police station is all trivial, resulting in an extreme lack of enthusiasm for the wish-making work.
On a rainy day, I want to go home. I don’t want to get wet in the rain, but I want to drive.
Lao Liang refused.
In Lao Liang's words, the car is reserved for the institute to deal with unexpected tasks. If there is a mission and the car is not there, a lot of things will be delayed.
Xu Yuan had no choice but to be pulled by Lao Liang, and the two of them walked on the street in the rain.
As a senior, Lao Liang gave Xu Yuan some advice and told Xu Yuan that the work at the police station was not that simple. As a policeman, you need to be like him and walk through every inch of land within the jurisdiction to be a qualified policeman.
.
Xu Wan thought he was bragging and didn't take it to heart.
But soon, the opportunity came for Lao Liang to show off his talents.
