Like many series of criminal investigation American dramas, this drama has an old-fashioned and reasonable structure. The episode adopts an independent case configuration, and adds the main storyline of the season at the beginning and end of each episode. This takes into account the viewing experience of people who chase the show every day and those who occasionally change channels to watch the show. In fact, this structure is very reasonable. On the other hand, few domestic TV dramas can do this kind of structural arrangement. The one-line plot makes most people feel confused when watching the drama in the middle, and they will not get the slightest pleasure. They can only find it after they think the drama is good. Watch the first episode slowly to get the full picture.
This is not to say that all criminal investigation TV dramas should adopt a similar structure, because in fact, different structures have to adapt to different contents, but it should be said that this structure is a structure that should be used for reference by domestic dramas. It was popular a few years ago. At that time, there seemed to be a follow-up work in China, not to mention the quality, at least this is a new idea in the structure of domestic dramas, and we should see a positive side.
There are many reasons why domestic dramas are becoming less and less popular. It should be said that the small investment is one aspect. The more reason lies in the production: the soundtrack is chaotic, there is no clear theme music, and in most cases there should be no music. The chaotic loop of local music is endless, and the music does not know where it goes when it needs to set off the atmosphere; the editing is chaotic, and the time allocation for the clues in each episode is not in place, so there is always a rhythm that changes quickly and slowly. The plot is tight and loose, and the scenes of some dramas are very chaotic and inexplicable for people to watch; the script is stale, and domestic dramas can make some achievements in several fixed genres such as country drama and family drama. There are always no directors willing to get involved in more themes. There may be policy factors, and this may not be for outsiders. In addition to the above three points, there is also the structural problem. This is also the problem that is best solved when the above three points are difficult to solve. The analogous examples in domestic movies are like the crazy stones in previous years. The better thing to do with three points is the structure. It can be said that the victory of Crazy Stone is the victory of the structure. When should we unfold what clues and when should we end this clue, this is the role of structure. If a play is not supported by a large framework, the soundtrack editing script is just a display, and it has gained more reputation in recent years. TV dramas such as Golden Wedding and Latent are both excellent in structure. The former is an extension of the 24 structure for one episode of one year, and the latter is extremely reasonable in terms of the clues of the women around Yu Zecheng. The climax of a drama intertwined with love and intrigue is never cold.
The above harp is a lot crooked, I am not in this profession, so there may be deviations in the understanding of professional terms. I hope the professionals can forgive me, or I hope that the domestic dramas will get better and better. Sooner or later, we can do it in one episode. Make three or five climaxes to make foreigners look dumbfounded.
