"Cute but cruel": the crime drama hailed a Chinese TV milestone
“可爱却残忍”:一部里程碑式的中国悬疑犯罪剧
In the hit Chinese web series, "Hidden Corner", a children's song presages the show's most violent moments.
在热播的中国网剧《隐秘的角落》中,一首儿歌预示着整部剧中最暴力的时刻。
"Under the blue, blue skies, in the silver river is a small white boat," three young children sing tremulously, looking into a camera propped up on the mountainside. In the background, a man taking a photo of his elderly in-laws adjusts their legs and hands, pauses, then pushes them off the cliff.
“蓝蓝的天空银河里,有只小白船”,三个年幼的孩子用微颤的声音唱着歌,眼睛望向他们在半山腰支起来的摄影机。在这一幕的背后,一位男子正在为他年老的岳父母拍照;他调整了他们腿和手摆放的位置,停顿了一下,然后一把将他们推下山崖。
Since its release in June, "Hidden Corner" has quickly become one of the country's most discussed and watched shows — a tense crime drama, unexpectedly poignant in its exploration of childhood, family ties and the harsh realities of life for China's more vulnerable.***
自 6 月份上映以来,《隐秘的角落》迅速成为中国观众议论、关注最多的影视剧之一。这是一部让人神经紧绷的犯罪剧,它在探讨中国弱势群体的童年、家庭关系和残酷的生活现实上,出人意料地尖锐。
Fans have raved over its production values, the acting of its young characters and independent music score. The show has quickly become part of popular culture. The phrase "Let's go for a hike" has taken on ominous meaning.
影迷们对这部作品的制作水准、剧中孩童角色的表演以及它的独立配乐赞不绝口。同时,这部剧也迅速成为了流行文化的一部分。“一起去爬山吧”这句话如今已有了不太吉利的含义。
Experts call it a new beginning for domestically made crime dramas, a genre dominated by the US that has been successfully localised in places like Korea but not China.
专业人士称这部剧为国产犯罪剧的新起点。犯罪剧这种类型的影视剧主要由美国主导,已经成功地在韩国等国家本土化,而并非中国。
"In the past, criminal investigation dramas like 'CSI', if viewed by other audiences, would feel like it is far from their real lives and lacks connection," said Ko, a film critic. "'Hidden Corner' has opened a door and allowed the Chinese-speaking world to welcome a new genre."
电影评论家 Ko 说:“在过去,对于美国以外地区的观众来说,《犯罪现场调查》这样的犯罪探案剧离真实生活太远,缺乏共鸣。《隐秘的角落》打开了一扇门,让华语世界迎来了一种新的影视剧类型。”
A reviewer said: "Its suspense lies in the psychology of its characters. It is simple and pure yet terrifying, cute but cruel. It does not over complicate but shows human nature, step by step."
一位影评人说:“它的悬疑推理在于人物心理的刻画,既单纯又恐怖,既可爱又残忍,没有过于复杂的推理,而是一步步展现出人性动机。”
