Immediately after "Hurricane", Zhang Yi became a criminal policeman in the TV series again, and was deeply in love with the sister of the black boss because of the hero saving the beauty.

The criminal investigation drama "Who Is He" was broadcast, and it is currently popular on Youku. Objectively speaking, the quality of this drama as a criminal investigation drama is good. The serial throat-cutting case in the first episode raised the suspense. The branch line continuously increases the suspense and difficulty of detection, and at the same time expands the relationship between the characters and the social aspect, without letting the drama conflict drop. At present, the author has seen ten episodes, the rhythm has not lost, and the plot is still attractive. This is already considered in suspense dramas good.
"Who is He" has broken 10,000 on Youku for 7 consecutive days
Although Wei Guoping played by Zhang Yi this time is the same criminal policeman as An Xin in "Hurricane", his acting temperament and character are completely different, which really shows the actor's skill. An Xin and Wei Guoping are equally persistent, but An Xin has obvious idealism, just as "Hurricane" director Xu Jizhou said, An Xin has a certain "purification", he is the light in this anti-crime drama. A symbol of justice and justice, therefore, its characters must be "great and upright". Wei Guoping was different. He came from the lower class, from the security department of the electrical machinery factory to the criminal police team. He had a stronger social atmosphere than An Xin, who was from a cadre family. At the same time, "Who is He" does not shy away from presenting the problems of the protagonist Wei Guoping: paranoia, arrogance, and inability to listen to other people's suggestions. This also caused him to easily go his own way due to his prejudice and eagerness in the process of investigating the case, losing his calm and rationality.

What's more interesting is that when Wei Guoping insisted on going his own way, all those who disagreed with him were understood as "villains" by many viewers. In the bullet screen, some people kept abusing these dissidents for "holding back the hero". ""He must be the murderer", one of the female characters, Gu Kaiyan, who is in charge of the pre-trial, became the target of the attack: "How can it add trouble?" In fact, the supporting actress who insisted on a different interrogation method from the male protagonist became the key to breaking the game, sorting out the truth amidst the fog and the male protagonist's irrational interference. At this time, the person who scolded her in the barrage shut up.

Since the barrage function appeared on the online broadcast platform, both the industry and the audience can see the audience's feedback on the plot at the first time, and even analyze some interesting social psychology. This abuse of female characters in criminal investigation dramas and unconditional approval of the male protagonist can reveal some interesting creative status and audience psychology.
First, when the audience is watching a film and television drama, they often substituting and empathizing with the protagonist unconsciously. Then, the series of words and deeds of the protagonist will be highly approved by us, and all the words and deeds of other characters that are contrary to the protagonist will be automatically understood as drama obstacles The creators of "Villain" and "Trouble". This mentality was intentionally or unintentionally "utilized" by the main creator in "Who Is He". Did I make the same mistakes as the protagonist while acting as the protagonist: paranoia, arrogance, and failure to listen to suggestions.

Second, the abuse and attack on Gu Kaiyan, a female criminal policeman, can be seen to a certain extent, the prejudice against women: women are too weak and not suitable for criminal investigation, and women are too emotional and not suitable for interrogation. The role of Gu Kaiyan has made a powerful counterattack to the above prejudices. In reality, in the police force, excellent female criminal police are not uncommon, "DNA decryptor" Wu Weiwei, "mind-reading detective" Lin Yan, criminal police detachment leader He Xiaoling... In the past, we In many criminal investigation dramas, female characters can only be bordered, and can only be a vase for "male condensate". "Who is He" has at least made progress and reflection on this point of creation.
The dismemberment case of the medical school that appeared in the play was considered by many viewers to be based on the famous Nanjing University dismemberment case. Therefore, there were many voices of doubt: How could it be based on real cases without restoring the real case? Not to restore is "losing words" and "disrespecting the dead". The author believes that this conclusion is open to question.

Can criminal investigation subjects be based on real cases? The answer to this question is of course: yes. How many classic criminal investigation dramas from the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century, without the author giving examples, everyone should be able to recall how many of them are based on real cases. Second, the author does not think it can be a rigid requirement whether to 100% "restore" after "taking materials". First of all, whether the real case can be restored, I am afraid that the decision is not the main creator, but the relevant public security departments and the review mechanism of film and television dramas. Secondly, does the drama have the obligation to restore real cases? I humbly think that as a popular film and television drama, the first priority is the excitement of the drama, and the second is whether it can bear the responsibility of "value" and "meaning". Dramas are not good-looking, who will take care of your value and significance in the audience?
As a criminal investigation drama, what kind of social value and significance should it carry after completing the drama task? It is inevitable to spread the value of "punishing evil and promoting good", which can go further, trigger more thinking, and even play a role in legal education. It's even better.
Experts write the word "malicious" on a blackboard
In the play "Who is He", there is an interesting scene in which experts give lectures to the criminal police. Experts write the word "maliciousness" on the blackboard. What they want to talk about is not the "maliciousness" of criminals, but the "maliciousness" that criminal police subjectively conjecture during the detection process.
In the play, the popularization of legal provisions
The science popularization of the history of this law revision is a stroke of the show. In the 1980s and 1990s, domestic criminal investigation methods were limited by the level of science and technology, and most of the time they had to rely on human investigation and visits. Many well-known "criminal investigation experts" in the industry relied on decades of practical experience accumulated , forming a set of methods. The energy invested by individuals and the collective wisdom of the system are of course admirable, but lack of scientific and technological means, relying on subjective judgment and individual actions to handle cases, naturally prone to sensibility and speculation, which was the limitation of the era of criminal investigation methods at that time. "Who is He" does not evade the limitations of this era, but presents this issue objectively, as well as criminal investigation methods (the development of DNA testing technology in the 1990s) and legal improvement (the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law), which is commendable.

In "Who is He", the main narrative era is placed in 1996, which actually adds the important node of the 1996 revision of the Criminal Procedure Law to the narrative background. One of the amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law at that time was to determine the procedural status and tasks of the pre-trial. "From the perspective of judicial practice, most wrongful and flawed cases in our country occur in the investigation process, so improving the internal supervision mechanism of the investigative agency - the pre-investigation system is an important measure to prevent unjust, false and wrongful convictions." In the play, the old criminal guard Guo Ping The conflict with Gu Kaiyan from the pre-examination department is actually a combination of the older generation of criminal police in solving cases and the new criminal investigation norms and procedures, and it is also a symbol of China's criminal investigation towards science and the legal system.
So far, no matter how many plot flaws "Who is He" has, it is just that it has not fallen into the tragic narrative of individual heroism like the criminal investigation themes of some eras, consciously reflecting on the criminal investigation history of the previous era and Presentation, quite obvious concept and pattern.
