In a solemn courthouse, there are piles of files in the judge's office, not only filling the desk, but also piles of files on the indoor side cabinet. Fang Yuan (, Jin Dong, ) is rushing to work, while typing. While on the phone, he casually pressed the card at the door of the office.
Who would have thought that this scene is the daily life of a judge when he goes to work! So real, so down-to-earth.
No wonder the barrage is labeled "workers within the system", "too real".
's " Bottom Line " restores the daily trial work of contemporary judges and their life stories to the greatest extent through representative cases.

About the case of Lei Xingyu

switches to the middle-aged man pressing down on his bleeding abdomen, and then he falls to the ground, bleeding profusely.
The young man walked behind and appeared, holding a blood knife in his hand, looking ahead in horror.
This is the Lei Xingyu case. As the opening major case of the legal drama "The Bottom Line", it can be seen that this is a very large scale.
must know that the prototype of this case is the Yu Huan incident in 2016. At that time, the debt collector insulted his mother in front of Yu Huan .
Yu Huan lost his mind instantly and stabbed 4 people on the spot, one of whom eventually died. After the incident of
was exposed at that time, public opinion sided with Yu Huan, and Yu Huan finally got a commutation. The
drama not only truly reproduces this major case, but also presents the entire process of the first trial being indefinite and the second trial being over-defense.
The purpose of killing is to protect the mother. The good and evil of the defendant is the limit of law and reason. How does the judge seek a balance between "jurisprudence" and "reasonableness".
will not disclose the details of the case and the trial process, through the collision and disputes between the parties, nakedly show the game between law and human nature to the audience.
About Jiang Ge's case
A young girl kept knocking on the door frantically, and was stabbed to death in the corridor by a deranged man, but the girl's best friend inside the door never opened the door.
This is the "Jiang Ge case" that shocked the whole society back then. Although the murderer has been brought to justice, there are still many doubts about the death of Jiangge . When
saw "The Bottom Line", Jiang Ge's mother couldn't help reposting related Weibo.
netizens also praised "Bottom Line" for being too daring to film. They filmed the whole process of the young girl's murder in the case, and even closed her best friend's door, disregarding the girl's bad behavior in danger.
In reality, this case has not yet had a second trial, so immediately after the broadcast, it aroused heated discussions among netizens, and they all lamented the difficult road of rights protection for Jiang Ge's mother in the past six years. After the case of
was broadcast, Liu Xin fans couldn't sit still, and maliciously attacked the TV series "The Bottom Line", I believe that justice will always stand on the side of justice, and the law will give the most just judgment!
About Li Fangning's case
A beautiful woman with sexy dress and delicate makeup walked into the court with high heels. She sued a married male colleague for sexual harassment on the grounds that she touched her back. Surprisingly,
was regarded by the public as "making a big fuss" and instead attacked her personally.
just touched the back, how could it constitute sexual harassment?
This is the Li Fangning case. With the fermentation of the case and the public opinion of the "slut shame theory", when Li Fangning's mother asked him to withdraw the lawsuit, the court also continued to dispute whether Li Fangning appealed. z3On the one hand, z
believes that the rights of the parties must be protected for infringement.
And another point of view is to recognize Li Fangning's mother's idea of asking her to withdraw the lawsuit, protecting the parties, and solving the problem is the most important thing.
argues from different positions in the play, which allows us to see more sense of reality in the process of accepting the case, and reveals that there is always a collision between the legal theory and the rationality in the case, and the most real and the most difficult part.
In addition to these cases, there are also "Dink couple case", "Sudden anchor death case", "custody change case", etc. are also adapted from real events, which have aroused heated discussion among the whole people, and each case is inseparable from love. game with law.
These cases are too real, and that alone is attractive enough.
Let's talk about why the case is so real? Director Liu Guotong was attracted by the case when he first got the script, but like ordinary audiences, he didn't know much about the court system and the group of judges. Although
took over the project, he was still worried and didn't know how to shoot. During that time, Liu Guotong ate and went to work with the court judges and police officers. This anxiety gradually disappeared after 8 months of this experience.
Let's take a look at the drama again. This drama is produced by People's Court Publishing House and other units. The guarantee of
is absolute. If you don't believe it, you see, " in the name of the people " was the highest inspector, and " Icebreaker " was the Ministry of Public Security. The reputation and quality of these dramas are super high. No wonder
called Supreme People's Court for the first time the show was launched, and made a publicity campaign on the official Weibo. It can be seen how tough the endorsement of this show is!
02
An excellent drama, no matter how strong the endorsement is, it needs excellent actors.
First of all, the absolute protagonist in the play is Fang Yuan played by Jin Dong, especially with a local accent, which also adds a lot of laughs to the play.
He is the presiding judge of the case filing court, and is dubbed "Aunt Fang" by his colleagues. Although he sees through the human nature of the world, he still adheres to "human justice" and is also the proud disciple of the old judge Zhang Weimin.
His temperament is too suitable for the judge's setting. At the trial site, he was wearing the judge system , with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, sitting upright on the trial platform, his serious facial expressions were all shocked off the screen, then The solemn and awe-inspiring aura instantly makes people enter the play for a second.
In addition to his majestic state at work, as a judge, Fang Yuan commutes to get off work by subway every day and wears uniform.
has busy and unforgettable cases every day, piles of files to deal with, Fang Yuan can sleep in seconds while sitting on a chair or sofa.
He has seen a lot of various cases, and he has also seen the warmth and affection of human beings, so he naturally has a little sense of the world.
faced the question of Ye Xin who came down from the high court, he hesitated for a while, and immediately turned to the apprentice Zhou Yi'an next to him and falsely reprimanded.
He must be indignant in his heart. Ye Xin was the highest inspector, so naturally he can't offend him. This is "Aunt Fang" who has been smoothed out by society. The character
still retains an idealistic innocence.
's superiors came to market integration construction. President Yu asked everyone to express their opinions. Chen Kang couldn't stop him, and Fang Yuan still spoke his mind.
However, when Vice President Zhang found him to "settlement", Fang Yuan also dragged Chen Kang to play haha, and also fooled the matter.
has been in court for so many years, he knows exactly what to say on what occasion, but he still didn't hold back and said his truest thoughts.
He still has a belief in his heart, he has not given up the bottom line in his heart, and has always maintained a very hot heart.
is just like Jin Dong himself. He follows the crew to experience life in the courthouse. He keeps a small notebook and writes down what he hears, sees and thinks at any time. This respect for his profession and the in-depth understanding of the role make people very happy. admire.
plus a three-month immersive filming period, he is basically included in the daily announcements, it can be said to be an uncompromisingly good performancemember.
This time, Jin Dong lived up to expectations and created Fang Yuan's character very successfully. He has a very meticulous grasp of Fang Yuan's role, and there is absolutely no shadow of the previous elite and domineering president. common traits.
He often bends over and arches his back slightly. This is completely close to reality. When participating in mediation cases, judges will bend over and be friendly to the parties, instead of maintaining a straight posture. In fact,
also told the audience that the judge did not always maintain a majestic and serious image in everyone's impression, but showed the most real working state.
Another starring is young actor Cheng Yi . As a traffic florist, every one of his works has been liked by many netizens.
He is not like other actors who have become popular through drafts. In the early years, he has been playing tricks in the crew. After ten years of hard work, he finally became a first-line actor with his own efforts.
His famous work " Liuli " made him an instant hit. Some time ago, " Agarwood ", which he collaborated with Yang Zi , was frequently searched.
But he is very low-key, hardly hyping or marketing himself. After becoming popular, he still focuses on his works.
He is steadfast in filming, plus he is from a professional background. This time, the young judge Zhou Yi'an played in the play has a great span compared with previous roles. This is indeed full of high challenges for an actor.
has a scene in the sudden death of the anchor that I am particularly impressed with. In the mediation room, Fang Yuan communicated with the parties about relevant events, while Zhou Yi'an on the side did not have many lines. When the
camera is facing the party, Cheng Yi's eyes are very playful, his head is slightly lowered, and the moment his eyelids are raised quickly, he quickly looks down at the other party, or purses his mouth and looks at the other party slowly, as if thinking. The characters of
are immediately full, and the acting skills can be said to be very delicate. As a professional actor, the infection of the tone is very advantageous. Cheng Yi can bring in the original sound.
even , the highest court of , praised his performance: "The performance is far more clever than the ancient puppet drama, and the original lines are unexpectedly good."
This time is a brand new attempt for him, and many netizens have given it. high rating.
03
The reason why "The Bottom Line" was able to get out of the circle this time is that apart from the two leading actors Jin Dong and Cheng Yi, other good actors in this drama have to be mentioned.
Zhang Zhijian and Wang Jinsong are old actors, so it goes without saying that their acting skills are natural. I really want to talk about Wang Yinan , she is really a Wang Zhuang actor.
Wang Yinan graduated from Shanghai Theater Academy at that time. After graduating from , his acting skills were outstanding and he got a lot of film appointments. Unfortunately, he fell off the horse while filming, resulting in disfigurement. Later, he rarely acted again. In the
play, her performance is very layered, and it feels like her whole body is acting. During the
debate on whether Li Fangning's case should be appealed, her eyes were firm, her eyebrows moved up and down with the tone of voice while speaking, and she felt that the muscles of her entire face were also expressing emotions. In
, there are also many familiar "Mo Xiaobei" Wang Shasha, Yue Yang , Yin Xiaotian , Liu Jun , Zuo Xiaoqing and so on, Liu Mintao also cameo in the play, each of them is everyone A familiar actor.
can say that in "The Bottom Line", there are many powerful factions and bright stars. The sincerity and attentiveness of this drama is not only reflected in the cast, but the script is even more poignant, and even makes all members of the judicial system dare not watch it, because it is too real! Through the cases in the play,
not only shows us the daily work of the grassroots court in an all-round way, but also shows the emotional care of the judge in the subtleties. The temperature of
connecting "jurisprudence" and "reasonableness" in complicated cases also touches our new thinking about the cases we have paid attention to.
As ordinary people, when we look at things, we tend to be more rational and ignore the law.
As a judge, you must keep your original intention and resist temptation so that you can be in it, identify the truth, and ensure that every judgment is legally based and well documented.
This world is not black and white. Since ancient times, Chinese culture has had the word "law". Most people know the law but don't understand the law. Behind the prosperity and light of the world, there are also many darkness and sins.
Between black and white, a little carelessness will cross the line.
This is also the meaning of the existence of "Bottom Line". As the director said, I hope that through this film, the audience can feel the progress of our country's justice.
hopes to call for tolerance and understanding between some people, from which they can know what they should do and what they should not do, and learn to use the law to protect their rights and interests.
