Chapter 535 Fat house nemesis, takeaway's reputation was killed
When the script for "White Night" came out, Shanhe held a special project meeting.
Someone mentioned at the meeting that this web drama has the shadow of two classic series, "Serious Case Group Six" and "Detective Di Renjie", and is even a combination of the two.
In fact, there is some truth to this statement, but it is not completely correct.
From the perspective of the overall drama structure, "White Night" does have certain similarities with "Crime Team Six" and "Detective Detective Dee".
For example, the 35-episode "White Night" depicts a total of eight cases.
Among them, the 213 case, which is the most widely involved with the protagonists Guan brothers, has appeared and been mentioned from beginning to end, and it can be regarded as the main case.
The other seven cases are all unit cases, with an average playing time of between 3 and 5 episodes.
This model of "one big main line + countless small units" is exactly one of the characteristics of "Serious Case Group Six".
However, the plot style of "Serious Case Group Six" is a professional criminal investigation drama, which restores the real police case handling process.
The plot of "White Night" follows the route of a detective solving crimes, more like a modern version of Dee Renjie.
It is precisely because of this that some people think that "White Night" is a combination of the two, a new drama that extracts the advantages of the two dramas and combines them.
But in fact, whether it is the plot structure of "main line + unit", the plot of the detective protagonist, or even the style of a police professional drama.
These are all very common elements in themes such as reasoning, criminal investigation, and detective work.
Not to mention overseas dramas, many Hong Kong TV dramas started filming this way in the 1980s and 1990s.
What kind of child detective, old man detective, goddess detective, one civil servant and one military detective, unit plot, police serious crime team, as well as monks, doctors, lawyers and various laymen cross-border detectives.
There are even golden-finger superpowers, the ability to talk to ghosts, the ability to make calls through time and space, the ability to reconstruct the events of a crime through meditation, and the ability to talk to plants and animals to extract information...
It can be said that the film and television industry has been developing for so long, and the shooting modes and branches of criminal detective cases have basically been tried over and over again.
Coupled with the large number of animations, movies and other works on the same theme, it is difficult to come up with new ideas that are particularly eye-catching. Many times it is just "fried rice" in disguise.
Rather than saying that "White Night" is a combination of "Serious Case Group Six" and "Detective Di Renjie", it is better to say that it is a high-standard criminal investigation mystery drama that covers a large number of successful models of the same theme.
Moreover, "White Night" is not without new ideas.
Although twins are not new, they jointly investigate the case day and night, and with the identity of the younger brother as a suspect, it is a bit interesting.
In the end, as the saying goes, it’s not scary to put new wine in old bottles. The key is to make the wine taste good.
And "White Night Chase" is a bottle of good quality wine with a mellow taste...
………
Let's talk about the plot structure of "main line + unit". The previous "Serious Case Group 4" proved the importance of the main line case with painful lessons.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is directly related to the success or failure of the entire drama.
Therefore, "White Night Chase" created a major 213 case. Not only was it a massacre, but the victim had a deep relationship with the police, and was directly involved with the two protagonists.
So much so that when this main case appears in any corner of the play, it is not out of place, but rather details and foreshadowing.
In addition to the main case, the other most important case is the first unit case.
When writing a composition, you should have "tiger head, pig belly, and leopard tail". Pay attention to the beginning that is exciting and eye-catching, the middle content to be rich, detailed and informative, and the ending to be beautiful and powerful.
This is especially true when filming a TV series, so the first unit of the case at the beginning of the TV series should attract the audience as much as possible and keep the audience.
Perhaps, from the perspective of reasoning and investigation, the first unit case is not the most exciting; the practical issues behind the case that I want to reflect on are not the most in-depth.
But comprehensively considering all aspects of quality, he is definitely the first, and definitely the most eye-catching.
"White Night" achieves this.
Serial murder case!
It is definitely the most shocking of all criminal cases, the most brutal in its modus operandi, and it is also one of the most difficult to crack.
Starting with this will not only attract the audience, but also establish the protagonist's abilities as quickly as possible.
Nothing can establish the character of a "super detective" better than the protagonist solving a serial murder case...
The plot continues from the above. Under the command of Guan Dabai, Guan Xiaohei made a murderer test.
According to the footprints and traces at the scene, the murderer wore size 41 shoes, was left-handed, and rode an electric bike as a means of transportation.
To be honest, in order to allow the protagonists to better identify the suspects, there are really too many left-handers in the criminal investigation reasoning genre.
That is to say, now that people's wisdom has opened up, everyone knows what is going on, otherwise left-handers will still be discriminated against...
Although the murderer's description is out, there is still a question.
The murderer dumped his body in an abandoned building site and a park. Although these two places were remote, they were not deserted, and the time when the two mutilated corpses appeared in the park was clearly during the day.
Even if they were minced corpses, the total weight was not light. The murderer came in and out openly carrying several large bags. Wouldn't it be easy for others to find him?
The purpose of dismembering the corpse was obviously to cover up the case, but the above-mentioned behavior also contained obvious logical errors.
According to the current analysis of the crime modus operandi, the murderer is a very meticulous person, so why is there such a contradiction in him?
After rookie policewoman Zhou Shutong raised this question, if Guan Dabai was present, he would quickly find something wrong and find a breakthrough point.
But unfortunately, it was Guan Xiaohei who was present at the time. Faced with this professional problem, he could only choose to escape.
After that, Guan Xiaohei secretly investigated Case 213, but there was no big progress. Instead, he almost alerted the enemy. When he got home, Guan Dabai got angry when he learned about it and strictly ordered his younger brother to listen to his arrangements and not to act rashly.
On the other hand, news of the serial mutilation case was accidentally leaked, which caused a great negative impact on the outside world. Zhou Xun was ordered by his superiors to solve the case within 48 hours.
Facing the pressured Zhou Xun, Guan Dabai took the opportunity to exchange conditions with him.
He promised to solve the case within 24 hours in exchange for seeing 213 cases and various information in Zhou Xun's hands.
Zhou Xun agreed, but made a three-part agreement with him that the case could only be viewed in his office, and Guan Dabai would be the tool of the criminal police team in the future. If there were any difficult cases in the bureau, Guan Dabai promised to be on call.
Guan Dabai also took the opportunity to ask Zhou Xun to remove all surveillance and police officers on him, and Zhou Xun agreed.
Regarding this agreement, in addition to loosening some shackles for the Guan brothers' adventure, it also left a lot of plot foreshadowing. The most important thing is to allow the male protagonist to legitimately join the remaining unit cases.
After the py transaction, Guan Dabai's enthusiasm soared, and he no longer hesitated to hide his clumsiness, and quickly analyzed the case.
According to the autopsy report, the interval between the two cases was extremely short, indicating that this was not a premeditated serial murder, but a carnival-type murder.
This type of murderer is generally a psychopath and can get alternative satisfaction from criminal activities, so it is very likely that the murderer will continue to commit crimes in a short period of time.
Guan Dabai then analyzed the two corpses that appeared for the second time and found that the two deceased were brother and sister. The brother was unemployed at home and the sister was a cleaner. She also had gynecological inflammation and had recently used a certain prescription medicine.
Prescription drugs can only be prescribed by a hospital. Based on this clue, I went to the hospital to inquire, then narrowed down the scope, combined with occupation, interpersonal relationship and other characteristics, and quickly determined the identity of the deceased.
After confirming the identity of the deceased, the police found the rental house where he lived and found the murder scene.
After surveying the scene, Guan Dabai believed that the two deceased men should have been killed by passion.
The first corpse was missing its right arm and head, in order to conceal its identity from the police, indicating that the deceased and the murderer were likely to have a direct connection. As long as the identity of the first messenger was determined, the murderer would not be difficult to find.
Guan Dabai once again investigated the abandoned construction site where the body was dumped for the first time, and figured out the murderer's psychological safety range for dumping the body. He concluded that the murderer probably lived near the construction site, so he immediately investigated the surrounding communities.
During the investigation, Guan Dabai found a manual car in a certain community that had not been driven for a long time and was covered with fallen leaves and small advertisements. He also found a cat under the car.
Manual transmission, cat.
These two characteristics are consistent with Guan Dabai's original speculation about the first deceased. Coupled with the coincidence of the place where the body was dumped, the owner of the car is likely to be the deceased.
Sure enough, the car owner's name was Wang Chen, a resident of the community, and his physical characteristics and behavioral habits were exactly as Guan Dabai had guessed before.
Guan Dabai and the police came to the rental house, opened the door and found the body parts of the head and right arm from the refrigerator. Wang Chen confirmed that he was the first deceased.
At the same time, several people also learned from the property management that Wang Chen did not live alone. He also had a roommate who was a delivery boy. Wang Chen was a game anchor and usually worked at home without leaving home.
Guan Dabai found a homemade kidney dialysis machine in a rental house, which was used to treat uremia.
Terminal illness, delivery boy.
Guan Dabai can almost conclude that this person is the murderer.
At the same time, many doubts were solved. The deliveryman put the body parts into takeout boxes and transferred them, so he could carry a large number of body parts without being suspected.
Moreover, when they investigated the crime scene of the brother and sister's death, they found that the murderer had no key but could enter the home. They thought it was an acquaintance who committed the crime.
Now it seems that the deceased took the initiative to open the door under the cover of being a deliveryman.
Guan Dabai found Gao Yuan's work ID from his room, and this work ID was exactly the same as the delivery boy who called Guan Xiaohei when he ordered takeout last time.
not good.
Guan Dabai suddenly broke into a cold sweat and rushed home. Sure enough, the murderer was waiting for him with a homemade musket pointed at the tied Guan Xiaohei.
He makes his own kidney dialysis machine and also makes his own pistol. As expected, the delivery boys are all treasures of talent...
Moreover, the deliveryman was very smart. Based on various clues and news on the Internet, he realized the secret of the Guan brothers.
The deliveryman wanted to take advantage of this secret and threatened Guan Dabai to help him clear his name. He also revealed his motive for committing the crime.
The reason is simple. He himself is terminally ill and has to work hard, leading a miserable and hopeless life.
And those people he killed obviously had a healthy body, but they didn't know how to live a good life. They were cockroaches and moths, and they couldn't live. He was helping them die early and be reincarnated early.
This "fat house nemesis" obviously didn't know the reason why the villain died from talking too much. Balabala kept talking, but gave Guan Dabai time to come up with a solution.
Guan Dabai claimed that he was Guan Xiaohei and said that if foreign aid killed "his brother", he would be able to resurrect his body and he would like to thank him.
This coquettish operation suddenly disrupted the deliveryman's thinking rhythm. He was already in an extremely nervous mood and was a little overwhelmed. Guan Dabai took the opportunity to use words to stimulate and provoke the other person.
In addition, on the other side, Zhou Xun accidentally learned the whereabouts of the deliveryman and rushed to help.
Hearing the sound of the siren, he had a complete psychological breakdown and was ready to die with the Guan brothers. Guan Dabai had been waiting for this moment.
When the delivery man lost control, the two brothers joined hands to restrain each other, but they didn't know what to do next.
Killing him was against morality, and he couldn't explain it clearly to the police who came right away.
But if they don't kill, the other party will know the secret of the two brothers. If it is leaked, the two brothers will be ruined.
The Guan brothers were hesitating, but the delivery man was very considerate and took the opportunity to break free from his control and jumped directly from the upstairs.
Regardless of whether the deliveryman committed suicide because he didn't want to go to jail and wait to die, or the screenwriter forced him to go offline, in short, the first case of "White Night" was solved.
This case attracted countless viewers to pay attention to the web drama "White Night".
The biggest impact is that many stay-at-home men or freelance workers expressed shock and fear because of the case, and even analyzed whether there was a perverted murderer watching them.
In addition, a large number of takeaway guys said online that they had been victimized by Feng Chong. They usually delivered food and could not even get in. They had no way of understanding the guests' conditions and there was no "malicious intentions".
But no matter what, after the launch of "White Night Chase", the takeout volume of major online platforms has declined to a certain extent.
Others don’t know, but after watching the show, Wu Chuo first gave up eating soy pig trotters, and then didn’t order takeout at home for half a month.
In addition, I also ordered a steel baseball bat from the Internet for self-defense.
It can be seen from the achievements of "White Night" that it can have such a high impact in reality.
This is also true. After this drama was launched, even though it only had the first six episodes, it still achieved an impressive record of over 100 million views in 24 hours.
Moreover, various data rose rapidly, and in a very short period of time, it dominated various rankings on Penguin Video. The momentum was so great that it even surpassed last year's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp - Jingjue Ancient City".
In addition to the number of views, the drama "White Night" also has a very good reputation, with a rating of 8.9 at the beginning, and the overall data trend is rising.
Although "White Night" has only been online for a short time, its explosive trend has been recognized by many people in the industry. Some people even believe that "White Night" has the potential to become the second "Mao Liar".
"Mao Liang" is the first and only national-level online drama in China. "White Night" can receive this evaluation, which shows its good performance.
The popularity of "White Night" has also made the star Pan Ming famous. Coupled with the accumulation of the previous "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", this former popular niche has faint signs of hitting the front line again...
