On the evening of 9/0,Sun LiStarring in a suspense drama"Above the Clouds"ushered in the finale, when the last scene was frozen in Sun Li's roleHan QingStanding alone at the scene of the crime in the rainstorm, the audience in front of the screen fell into a long silence like the characters in the play.
This one started because of this"Laws and Regulations of the Sun Dynasty"and"The Torture Drama Turned into a Bitter Drama"was scolded for being a controversial work on the hot search, but on the closing night, she counterattacked and reached the top in the station, just like the policewoman in the playHan QingTumultuous fate – are we judging a drama for its flaws, or are we resisting female characters tearing off the mask of "perfection"?
Originally, everyone was still immersedThe suspense drama "Chessman" starring Wang BaoqiangI didn't expect the competition on various platforms to be fierce. On 3/0, iQIYI launched "Above the Clouds", which was created bySun Yan, Ding Guansen, Wang ZiStarring Yi,Luo YanGuest starring,Li Xiaoran, Li Hongtao, Wang Ziquanand other starring realistic suspense criminal investigation dramas.
Synopsis: In the summer of 2017, the small southern town washed by the torrential rain was shocked to find broken corpses.Policewoman Han Qing (played by Sun Li)While investigating the corpse crushing case, he continues to search for his missing partnerZhong Wei (played by Luo Jin)。 As the case progresses, there is a major drug case hidden behind the corpse mutilation case, and Zhong Wei's disappearance is inextricably linked to it......
Zhong Weiand the truthHan QingWhich one will be found first, more and more people are being killed, and the incredible truth is also emerging......
The beginning of the play uses a long shot of 15 minutes to fully present the female policeHan Qing (played by Sun Li)The professional process of investigating the scene of the murder case. The forensic doctor accurately reported the degree of stiffness, and the trace examiner extracted half a fingerprint from the gap in the tile, these details should have formed a solid foundation for genre drama.
But the sudden emotional line in the third episode made the majority of netizens instantly drowned out by the scolding of the "fraud drama" - the missing boyfriend actually left graffiti on the key evidence of the murder case.
This sense of disconnection culminates in the fifth episode: when Han Qing is confronted with a highly decomposed corpse in the dissection room, the camera suddenly cuts to the slow motion of a date with her boyfriend at a revolving restaurant three years ago.A criminal investigation expert pointed out sharply on Weibo: "Forensic autopsy requires absolute concentration, and this kind of stream-of-consciousness editing is a fatal injury to professionalism." "
Sun Li's performance fell into a double encirclement. Some netizens compared her to herJade Soundand the eye play in this play:"There is a stubborn light in the eyes of the 42-year-old Anxin, and there is only a tired obsession in the eyes of the 0-year-old Han Qing."This physiological exhaustion is subtly misaligned with the powerful aura that the character needs.
The audience also has a bit of a double standard: when Han Qing was criticized for "showing her old age" when she investigated the case without makeup, but when she fainted due to low blood sugar and was hugged by her male colleague Princess, the barrage was full of "pretending to be tender". This tear reflects the collective sexual anxiety about middle-aged actresses -We not only spurn girly marketing, but also can't calmly accept the real traces of time.
What really detonated public opinion in the show was the interrogation scene in the sixth episode. When Han Qing used the victim's diary to break through the suspect's psychological defense, the other party suddenly sneered: "You women rely on empathy to solve the case? This line unexpectedly became a real-world prophecy. According to the data of the China Criminal Police College, the proportion of female police officers has reached 6.0% in 0 years.However, less than 7% of women on the front line of criminal punishment are counted.
This mismatch between artistic truth and reality is precisely the value of "Above the Clouds".It is like a prism, reflecting the embarrassing situation of women in workplace dramas: they must not only show their professional ability, but also inevitably escape emotional kidnapping; I want to break through stereotypes, but I am also trapped in the audience's expectations. When we criticize Han Qing for not being a "big heroine" enough, do we also subconsciously deny the real professional dilemma?
Sun Li talked about age in an exclusive interview,"There are things that can be done at every age, and you don't have to repeat the past, and you can't repeat it, and I especially don't like the word "girly".”
收視率顯示,該劇35歲以上女性觀眾佔比達63%,這個數據或許比任何劇評都更有說服力。有位三線城市女警的留言獲得2萬點讚:"I don't need the perfect Superwoman, I just want to see someone take pictures of our puffy faces when we stay up late and squatting punctually, our hands shaking after closing cases, and work and family that are never well coordinated."
This may be the biggest suspense left by "Above the Clouds" to the industry - when the traffic bubble dissipates, are we ready to accept the real female narrative? What do you think of Sun Li's new drama "Above the Clouds"! When the "big heroine" filter collides with the cruel reality? Feel free to leave your valuable comments!
