How to evaluate Forensic Mind starring Nie Yuan and Yi Song?

The initial cognition of forensic profession should come from TVB classic dramas such as Forensic Records, Forensic Pioneer and Forensic Qin Ming in recent years. Forensic doctors can find clues and truth from the deceased, which has become an important part of helping the police solve the case.

Recently, based on Zhu Mingchuan's original novel Listening to a Corpse, the healing forensic drama Psychic Forensics starring Nie Yuan and Yi Song has just come to an end. First time? Listen to the sound of the body? I am curious. Can the dead still hear them? Then this should be a TV series that combines suspense and horror.

Out of curiosity, I unconsciously chased one or twenty episodes, only to find that this is actually a drama with a different forensic theme from the past. It focuses on solving crimes, listening to corpses, combining with reality, and focusing on warm-hearted return and spiritual healing. At the same time, there are also problems such as the disparity of actors' acting skills and the parallel defects of technology and logic.

It is important to solve the case as a supplement and listen to the corpse.

In the past, the focus of people's watching forensic drama was either the criminal police who solved the case (such as forensic records) or the cooperation of police, forensic doctors and forensic departments (such as forensic pioneer and forensic doctor Qin Ming), but in this drama, we obviously felt that the director weakened the role of the police in solving the case and paid more attention to the characterization and role-playing of Mingchuan, an excellent forensic doctor.

The key information of almost all cases was not found by the police, but by the forensic doctor Mingchuan. Even many times, forensic doctors go to the field to collect evidence, and forensic doctors become the dominant in each case. The weakening of the police has also weakened many details of solving crimes.

The reason why the director used this way to weaken the police's ability is to highlight the role of forensic doctors in spiritual communication with the deceased, to listen to the silent language left by the deceased through forensic doctors, and to convey the information they want to express to the police, their families and the audience.

For example, mingchuan is giving? Freshwater corpse case? When the female deceased in the movie dissected her head to find the real cause of death, he solemnly said to the deceased:? I know you like beauty and your hair, but now I have to shave your hair and open your skull? .

In a word, there is a strong sense of ceremony, which is a kind of respect for the deceased and a kind of communication and consultation for the deceased. And he knows all the facts that the deceased loves beauty, relying only on an expensive hairpin. Is it a child's mouth? Don't sleep or eat all day and go out to work in all kinds of work clothes? Dear mother, the mother who fainted because of overwork on the spindle, will she be willing to buy an expensive hairpin? Will you drown to pick up this hairpin?

Every time a case has no clue, it is Mingchuan who finds the key clue through dialogue with the deceased.

Combine reality and heal the soul

The drama is called Psychic Forensic Medicine, and the genre of the drama is divided into healing forensic drama rather than suspense drama. Nature focuses on the healing of the soul, which is why watching this drama has a warm feeling of healing.

Its warm-hearted healing is reflected in two aspects: first, it takes care of the deceased, mainly reflected in the silent language of the deceased reported by forensic doctor Mingchuan; The other is the inner monologue and reconciliation between the victim and the criminal, which was adopted by the director? Mind theater? Innovative technology is expressed through the dramatic form of psychological profiling.

Many cases in the play are based on the current society, which is very close to the real society and makes the audience feel very much after watching it.

Like what? Killing a wife? In order to strengthen the pregnant mistress, she killed her wife by mistake;

Freshwater corpse case? In school, single mothers work hard for their children's part-time jobs day and night;

The werewolf case? Are you online? Idol disqualification? Problems and paranoia shield criminals' love view;

Materialism, doctors who believe in science have saved countless lives, but they can't save pregnant wives with terminal cancer, so they fall into superstition and kill other pregnant women for their wives' lives;

Network car case? Are you online? Women's safety at night? Topics such as, are close to reality and worth thinking about.

The huge gap between the hero and heroine.

Nie Yuan and Song Yi, the leading actors in this play, are both good actors.

Nie Yuan and Luo Cheng in The Legend of Heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties, not to mention the cold front in The Four Famous Hunters. Although his recent works are relatively few, you will know his acting level after watching him play the Emperor Qianlong in The Story of Yan Xi Palace many years later. In this play, his level is as stable as ever, and he can be called the acting role of the whole play.

Although Yi Song does not appear in many heroines' works, she is well known to everyone? As an actress who has repeatedly crushed the hostess? Yu Manli in The Pretender, Wendy in The Entrepreneurial Age, and Fan Ruoruo in The Joy of Life, which is a hit recently, are all impressive and full of praise.

However, in contrast, Yi Song's acting skills are not reflected at all in this play. Playing Luo team is like a fool, with no aura and no ability. Just like an empty beautiful vase, it was crushed to pieces by the man Nie Yuan, and there was no sense of existence.

Why is this happening?

In the first point, we mentioned that the director wanted to match the title of the script. Psychiatrist? Focus on highlighting the role of forensic doctors. This kind of starting point is good, but it is a pity that we have not mastered this degree, weakened the police's ability too much, and emphasized the forensic ability too much, which has had the opposite effect.

This is the key reason for the huge acting gap between male and female actors in the play. Even said that except the actor Nie Yuan, other people's acting skills were obliterated. This is also the reason why many viewers spit. What's the use of this criminal police team? Captain Luo, the hostess, has no effect at all? .

A new actor can play his potential acting skills in the crew, which is related to the director. Of course, it is also related to the director that good actors can't play acting in the crew. Obviously, the director is responsible for such concentrated acting.

Parallel technology and logical defects

In addition to the acting skills of the above actors, objectively speaking, there are technical and logical problems in this drama.

Technical problems mainly lie in background music and shooting. In this kind of forensic drama, background music or rendering pictures, or promoting the development of the story, or depicting the inner world of the characters, background music should appear in time to complement the story. But the background music in the play is very non-mainstream, and it comes out suddenly, and the volume is too high. It sounds harsh and does not affect the human voice. The most important thing is that it is completely different from the style of the play.

The lens often shakes inexplicably during shooting, and this problem will also occur during normal parallel shooting. Action shot is indeed a special shooting method, but it is the photographer's shooting technology that appears when it should not.

Speaking of logic, it can be said that every case exists after careful study.

Like what? The werewolf case? The suspect Huang Weilun was detained in the interrogation room to eat at will, which is impossible in reality. The police will not treat the suspect specially because he is an idol star. In ancient times, it was stipulated that the prince was guilty of the same crime as Shu Ren, not to mention this legal society where everyone is equal.

Another example? Dumping the body in the scenic spot? In middle school, Mingchuan was knocked unconscious by criminals. He was locked in a cave for only one night, but his arm was broken. When others looked for him, they almost missed it. You have a good mouth. Can't you shout for help? You must defeat the rock wall. The mobile phone has no signal. When fully charged, it can play music, make sounds and attract the attention of rescuers.

With the development of science and technology, should the logic of drama keep up with the times? Should the director learn from the practice of sending people's heads at the end of the film "Action to Break the Ice" instead of taking photos with his mobile phone, and be collectively vomited by the audience?

All in all, this drama still has its value, at least showing a lot of warmth, spreading positive energy and guiding correct values. However, it is undeniable that it also has many problems, but it may provide guidance and reference value for the future development of forensic science.
