The series, which has been adapted into an American film starring Ben Affleck and Russell Crowe, and the six-episode TV series, detail a case that began with the murder of the mistress of a state dignitary. case, while a black teenager was shot in an alley. Two seemingly unrelated things happened at a not-so-distant time and place, burning the gossip soul of the reporters and wanting to make big news every minute.
As a result, the decadent reporter Carlo, who just wanted to live in an undisturbed life for a long time, was ordered in danger because the state official Collins involved happened to be his good friend, and took his team to start the road of investigation.
One of the main supporting characters is Yimei, who is Dan Foster, son of Cameron Foster, the editor-in-chief of Caro's "Herald". Since he was married when he was 12 (WTF?) and his dad despised his second-generation journalistic style, he has been wandering around as a freelance writer, and he has made a fortune. In this case, he unintentionally conducted an investigation with Carlo's team at the same time, and with his superb clichés and seduction skills, he investigated a lot of things that Carlo's team had not investigated, so he was recruited by Carlo.
Although I originally watched it because of beauty, but after watching one or two episodes, I was completely attracted by the plot. From small cases, I continued to go deep, and bit by bit, there were more and more characters involved, and the scope became wider and wider. The wider the scope, the higher the position... During this period, there are also interesting investigations and complicated emotional entanglements by the reporters (but I personally don't like the bloody emotional drama in it...), with the passionate music, it burns Thrilling, and the reversal of truth is as wonderful as the plot setting in an Agatha Christie novel.
Maybe it’s because I’m a journalism student myself, and I’ve always liked to watch Hong Kong movies about teamwork solving crimes since I was a child. I’m especially fond of this TV series when I watch it, although most of the reporters in it are a bit bitch. Aggressive duplicitous bastard.
In the Celestial Dynasty, the situation where journalists expose and bring down key state officials may never happen, and even in the West there will always be restrictions and even life-threatening situations. However, as the "fourth power" and the "uncrowned king", the media will always represent the majority of people who have no way to speak out. They can't always exist to cater to political parties and the market. More often, they need to get to the bottom of things, do whatever they can to make A truth for the people.
