"Campus Detective" tells the story of the mysterious disappearance of an important work of the science and technology club of the Second Experimental School on the eve of the National Science and Technology Competition. Xiang Li Siqi (played by Lin Ziye), who hopes to set up a detective agency and is more eager to become a detective, led his friends on an exciting investigation journey.
In the process, the children solved mysteries one by one and gained friends who were interested in detectives. After watching the whole film, the comedy burden is compact, the characters have distinct personalities, and the reasoning plot is also interlocking, the alibi, the motive for the crime, the gradual investigation of human and physical evidence, the reversal of layers before the truth is revealed, and finally settles on the growth of children, harvesting friendship from the process, and learning perseverance and love.
It is worth mentioning that unlike many film and television works that use adult actors to shoot campus themes, director Yu Fei uses child actors to play in this film. In addition to the role of teachers who appear in individual scenes due to the needs of the plot, most of the roles in the film are played by child actors, which makes the "Second Experimental School" more realistic and makes the child audience more immersive. In the process of watching the movie, the daily clips of the campus outside the reasoning also made the children who came to watch the movie laugh frequently.
Director: Yu Fei
In the post-screening session, director Yu Fei said that the original intention of making live-action children's movies in the summer was to "make really interesting children's movies for children", so that children can have one more choice besides cartoons and can watch them with their parents. "Today's children's minds are much more mature than adults imagine", director Yu Fei said, "Their aesthetics and other aspects have approached or even surpassed adults, and children must not be underestimated, and there is no need to deliberately produce low-grade content in order to take care of children." ”
One of the problems that children have to face in acting is that it takes a lot of effort for child actors to balance their roles as actors and students. When you can't find an extra, you can only lead a cameo, turning your back to play a role in the background. During the two-month filming, Lin Ziye, who played the male lead, was at the critical stage of his junior high school, whether he needed to appear on camera or not, he almost did full attendance, and he also performed well in the school exams and was among the best. Hearing the news, some parents coaxed and asked for tips on efficient learning. Lin Ziye said a little shyly, "That is, I used some spare time, and I can't talk about any tricks." ”

Talking about the filming process, the child actors shared their experiences. In Lin Ziye's view, reasoning dramas need to focus more on expression performances and adjust them according to the actors who play the role. Hong Yuexi recalled the filming experience of "Pipiru and Lu Xixi", and thought that Ah Ru and the previous Lu Xixi were both willing to quarrel with the teacher for the sake of friends, which can be regarded as the commonality of the role. Pei Jiaxin substituted for the role in the film, and felt that each scene had special psychological activities, and as the performance deepened, she became more and more empathetic. In Yu Shuyao's view, Li Jianan, who starred in the role, has a straightforward and bold personality, but he also attaches importance to the friendship around him, which is slightly similar to himself in life. Zhuang Zexi was full of praise for the script, calling it a "European · Henry-style" script, and many reversals were unexpected but also reasonable. Chen Zhiyan, who starred in the special, shared that the Xie Xiaomeng she played was "I person ceiling", and Chen Zhiyan was also very introverted in real life, but she felt very happy during the filming of the crew.

As a film with the theme of reasoning and detective, talking about the multi-level reversal in the process of gradually revealing the truth in the plot of the film, Yu Fei hopes to use suspense to mobilize the audience's sense of participation, "Try to let the audience participate in the reversal." At the same time, he further added that the performance of the actor is required to be reversed, and the performance involving reversal should allow the audience to see two interpretations: "One is the victim, and the other has more stories behind it that have not yet been revealed." ”
