< p> "Crime Hunt" is a suspenseful detective drama starring Tan Jianci and Jin Shijia. It mainly tells the story of the talented painter Shen Yi, who partners with the criminal police captain Du Cheng in order to help more people become portraitists in the police station.

According to the plot setting, "Crime Hunting Illustrated Book" is very story-driven and dramatic. On average, there is one story in two episodes. It is fast-paced and has strong morals. Behind every story lies the ambition of the director.

The first story tells the story of Jiang Ge, a talented but plain-looking female designer, who went for plastic surgery in order to gain a place in the workplace. She was tainted and threatened by the bad plastic surgeon Liang Yi. In order to Let yourself get rid of Liang Yi, and finally take the risk and choose to end this nightmare.

In this case, Liang Yi deserves it, but Jiang Ge is definitely not innocent. In the industry where Jiang Ge works, men have always had an absolute advantage. The first thing Party A sees is the male designer. Jiang Ge's appearance was mediocre, and it was difficult for her boss to notice her at first glance, so she chose to use the most intuitive thing - her appearance to break through this barrier.

She helped Liang Yi design the secret room for free in order to thank him, but she never expected that she would become the first victim.

She could choose to call the police, but for the sake of her career, she endured it silently. She clearly knew the function of this secret room and Liang Yi's intentions, and continued to introduce customers to Liang Yi, causing more women to be persecuted.

The play only shows two women who failed in plastic surgery, one of whom was admitted to a mental hospital, which shows that Liang Yi’s crime is extremely heinous! Jiang Ge became Liang Yi's accomplice for the sake of his own future, and ended up making mistakes every step of the way.

The director mainly talks about the issue of appearance anxiety in contemporary society, which also hides gender discrimination in the workplace.

In today’s era, appearance anxiety continues to become a hot topic. When you open social platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu, they are full of pictures, texts, and videos that suggest that appearance is justice. On the one hand, we reject appearance anxiety, but on the other hand, we are trapped by it. "The crown of my skull is not high enough, my nose is not straight enough, my hairline is getting further and further back..." These problems trouble us from time to time, constantly aggravating our lack of confidence.

"It is futile and unwise to be anxious about dangers that do not really exist." We must understand that beauty is not a single thing. We should look at our appearance with a normal mentality and pursue the connotation of beauty rather than pursuing beauty. A beautiful appearance is more valuable, after all, a beautiful appearance is only temporary and illusory!

It has to be said that the director's ambition is huge. In just two episodes, it tells the story of three hugely controversial topics - sexism in the workplace, appearance anxiety, and sexual assault. No matter which topic it is, it will cause huge discussion. In this case, these three topics are related to each other. Jiang Ge chose to have plastic surgery because of workplace discrimination, which also gave Liang Yi an opportunity to be sexually assaulted but unable to appeal.

I hope that everyone can not be defined by gender and not be influenced by prejudice! ! !
