The best Royal Guards in 300 years, the masterpiece ＂Jinyi Kill＂, and the most cool IP worthy of film and television adaptation.

Royal Guards, the first secret service agency in Ming Dynasty, directly obeyed the emperor, and could arrest anyone, including royalty and relatives of the country, and take charge of the prison, and conduct trials in camera. At the same time, he also participated in the work of collecting military information and turning against enemy generals.

With such great power, the ruthless and unscrupulous behavior of the Royal Guards made both inside and outside the imperial court fearful. The movie Embroidered Spring Knife and the TV series Under the Jinyi can give the audience a glimpse of this mysterious institution. This year’s hit Dream of China Record, in which Gu Qian Fan’s Imperial City Division was once compared with the Royal Guards, shows people’s curiosity and imagination about the Royal Guards.

The Royal Guards are skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. At the same time, they also have the strategy and wisdom of investigating and interrogating cases, so they can be said to be special forces in the police. They will experience all kinds of political struggles and bizarre cases throughout their lives.

Character setting with scarce market and high-frequency drama energy

"Jinyi Kill" tells the story of Wang Yanqing, the heroine whose family is full of loyalty, who was adopted by Zhenyuan Houfu since childhood. When she was growing up, she liked the prince of Zhenyuan Houfu and her adopted brother Fu Tingzhou, but Fu Tingzhou married the third daughter of Yongping Houfu for power. Wang Yanqing recognized the differences between her and Fu Tingzhou and decided to leave. However, before leaving, she accidentally lost her memory in order to save Fu Tingzhou from falling off a cliff.

The command of the Royal Guards led Lu Heng to ambush the house in Yuanhou Town, but he didn’t intend to catch Wang Yanqing. When Lu Heng saw that Wang Yanqing had lost her memory, he played along as her second brother and discovered her unique micro-expression recognition ability. Lu Heng led Wang Yanqing to solve several difficult cases inside and outside the capital, punish corrupt officials, extend unjust cases, pacify the chaos of the Japanese pirates, walk in the shadow of prosperous times, and maintain the strong and bloody but riddled Ming Dynasty in the dark.

With getting along, Lu Heng gradually fell in love with Wang Yanqing, and Wang Yanqing also constantly ran into old friends and recovered his memory. Wang Yanqing wanted to make a clean break with Lu Heng, but Lu Heng exchanged his sincerity for Wang Yanqing’s forgiveness. In the end, they reconciled and worked together to solve the case and defend the country.

Among them, the figure based on Lu Bing is called Lu Heng, and the overall image is basically consistent with the historical prototype. Lu Heng is the commander of the Royal Guards and ranks second in the family. Lu Jia VI is a Royal Guards. His father Lu Song is the bodyguard of Xing Wangfu, and his mother Fan is the wet nurse of Xing Wangsi Zhu Houzong. Lu Heng went to the Wangfu since childhood and grew up with Zhu Houzong. He is smart and calm, both good and evil. He has peach eyes with a natural smile, but his heart is cold and heartless. His IQ and EQ are extremely high. He is good at observing and reasoning. He always smiles at people, but when he starts, he is thunderstruck and ruthless.

Such a tough character, who is difficult to see through at a glance and is adept in the struggle for power, is scarce in the film and television market at present. At the same time, relying on the prototype, the characters have more space for creation and discussion in historical depth, which makes the aerial story have a solid foundation, and at the same time, with people and face, it brings out a broader and thicker image of the Royal Guards and the historical scene during Jiajing period.

The heroine Wang Yanqing, instead of being the CP tool behind the powerful male master, became the key to the steady rise of the male master’s career and even the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Yanqing, a stunning orphan girl, not only has the temperament of a classical woman, but also has the professional demeanor of a modern woman. She not only studied martial arts hard since childhood, but also developed a skill. More importantly, she also brought her own super buff of "micro-expression investigation". It is this modern skill that is familiar with micro-expression psychology that makes Wang Yanqing stand out among the heroines in costume.

From the orphan girl who is dependent on others to the brilliant talent, Wang Yanqing also started her own road of inspiring and refreshing life.

The male host is not "magnificent", "beautiful and miserable", and the female host is not "stupid and sweet" and "in love with the brain". The husband and wife files are well matched and evenly matched, and then a little sugar is sprinkled at will. This kind of CP and story is what the audience really wants to see.

The film "Jinyi Killing" is so popular that readers have even outlined the image of the male and female host and recommended their favorite actors, which shows that the image portrayal of Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

A highly recognizable story, a highly typed break

"Jinyi Killing" is set in the period of Zhu Houzong, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, and the main line is that the hero and heroine jointly cracked many cases, such as corruption, haunted East Palace, gold placer, banned books, Renyin Palace rebellion, enemy and collaboration with the enemy. It is a very solid mystery novel.

The endless stream of cases has filled the suspense atmosphere of the story, including some confusing "ghosts and gods" illusions, which have great room for film and television imagination. At the same time, there are almost no timid small cases, all of which are major and serious cases directed at the important officials of the court. Their realistic criticism will definitely make the audience feel the grand structure and historical massiness of the story.

The theme of suspense reasoning has always been a type that is deeply loved by the audience and has a stable market share. The super-high reputation of Detective Di Renjie and Young Bao Qingtian, with 9 points and 8.5 points respectively, speaks for itself. At present, due to various factors, this genre has been continuously improved in the technical level in modern drama, while the creative level is often tied behind one’s back. However, in costume drama, not only the characters can be more elegant and free, but the theme and depth of the story are the breakthrough core.

Under this high type, there is not much love in Jinyi Kill, but it is essential. Emotion is the core magic weapon to impress the audience. Through the daily coexistence and tempering of the hero and heroine, "Jinyi Kill" naturally produces love, puts emotion above the growth of the characters, and the little wife who is proficient in tactics and mind-reading constantly collides with emotional sparks in personality differences, which is reasonable and sweet. The love based on this is affectionate, solid and firm, and will never fall into the suspended dog blood.

This advanced treatment just avoids the story taboo of "not concentrating on career, only knowing to fall in love", which is the most criticized by the audience at present.

The superposition of types makes Jinyi Kill have a wider audience, and whether it is hard-core investigation or high-sweet love, it will become a circle-breaking work.

The overall structure of "Jinyi Killing" is grand. Through the detective stories of men and women, it outlines the historical picture and folk customs during Jiajing period. The story is fascinating, the theme is profound and moving, and the details such as the official environment, costumes and living habits are well controlled. It has great imagination and adaptation potential. It is a rare IP masterpiece.
