The Chinese drama market has been very lively recently, with new dramas being aired one after another, making people dazzled.
After the finale of " Qing Yu Nian 2", Yu Zheng's female plot revenge drama "Mo Yu Yunjian" became popular again.
The most popular TV shows are " Rose Story " broadcast by CCTV 8 and " Haitian Eagle " broadcast by CCTV 1. However, with the divorce of Huang Yimei and Fang Xiewen, and the decline of Huo Jianhua's role line, "The Story of a Rose" is also coming to an end.
So the question is, which new drama will continue to dominate the audience's remote control next?
Just now, the 40-episode political and legal drama "Executive Judge" has been officially announced. It will be broadcast on June 27th on the prime time slot of "Rose Story". The lineup of
is interesting: An Jian + Luo Jin, the old partner comes on stage, plus Zhang Xilin, Ding Jiali, Sarina, Wang Tonghui, Fang Fangbin and other powerful players. The theme of
refers directly to an important group in the court that is easily ignored by ordinary people, the Executive Bureau.
Next, let us take a look at what kind of tough dish "Executive Judge" will serve to the audience.
1. Story: Taking "Executive Judge" as the entry point, focusing on the "last mile" to achieve fairness and justice
"Back off, back off!"
I was attracted by Luo Jin's scene in the first trailer. I used a There is only one word to describe this drama, that is it!
The words "the 'last mile' to achieve fairness and justice" clearly displayed on the poster raised people's expectations even more. The story of
focuses on a special group in the court - execution judges. They are responsible for the execution of court judgments, arbitration awards, notarization of creditor's rights documents and related property preservation, investigation and control.
is also the "last mile" to achieve fairness and justice.
Anything is always the most difficult to execute.
"Executive Judge" tells the story of how the executive judges, represented by Qi Lin, will deal with the "battle" of "difficult execution".
Based on the existing materials, there are three highlights in the plot that are enough to catch the audience's attention.
First, a strong dramatic plot.
The execution by the court can be said to be an invisible war.
executives will inevitably face various difficulties such as resistance and pressure from public opinion. The difficulty and workload in the process are unimaginable. What needs to be faced are not only the old gangsters, but also the extreme persons subject to execution, who will resort to tricks such as deceiving and threatening the judge to refuse to perform.
Just from the trailer, you can see that the tense and exciting atmosphere and fascinating suspense are quickly created.
opens with a chilling atmosphere.
The court personnel were fully armed and went straight to Huanglong. Qi Lin shouted: Don't move!
Obviously, the executor and the person being executed are competing for wits and courage.
Looking at the scenes, there is no shortage of confrontation, capture, pursuit, and explosion.
Looking at the plot, the "demolition and vacation case" of a key municipal project is handed over to the male and female protagonist team for execution. However, there is a big conspiracy hidden in this case.
developer owner Chen Qilun (played by Zhang Xilin) illegally occupied several "nail house" houses in the village, and forcibly vacated them by corrupting the mayor's secretary, coercing the mayor, etc., so as to achieve his business goal of rapid development.
The male protagonist Qi Lin keenly discovered the problem, and during the gradual investigation, he discovered that the cause of his parents' death was not an accident, and finally joined a task force to take down the opponent.
There is something in this story.
The second one is a growth-oriented person.
How do you make the story of the execution judge so down-to-earth and beautiful?
The play chose a special angle - the arrival of new people.
The male protagonist Qi Lin, played by Luo Jin, lost his parents when he was young and was raised by his aunt's family. When he grew up, he became a criminal judge in Qinggang and was later transferred to the Enforcement Bureau. In this way,
joined Chu Yun’s group.
In one execution case after another, Qi Lin used his wisdom and skills to successfully complete the task every time.He grew into an excellent executive and gained Chu Yun's admiration at the same time.
The drama series chose to take the perspective of the new execution judge Qi Lin, step by step to take the audience to understand the group of execution judges, and then from his perspective, show the various difficulties and obstacles that exist in a series of execution cases, as well as the concealment and transfer of persons subject to execution. The undesirable phenomenon of refusing to perform property and other means.
In the end, through his battle of wits and courage with the person subject to execution, and finally the successful conclusion of the case, the audience can truly understand why "execution is difficult".
The third is to implement cases that are realistic.
The story revolves around execution cases, and there must be many conflicts and realistic portrayals.
For example, the execution cases in the play, such as the "luxury car hit-and-run case", the "shared bicycle deposit case", the "college student loan case", and the "10,000 tons of grain execution case", are all very representative.
has a family story about brother and sister falling out because of their father's partiality;
has a life and death crisis caused by a simple car accident; there is a kind-hearted person who half-heartedly led everyone to speculate in the stock market, but instead became the person subject to execution, a game between love and law; there is also an enforcement bureau A heart-warming story about working together, fighting wits and courage against evil forces, and overcoming all difficulties to maintain fairness and justice.
The reason why the story is established and true is not because of curiosity.
But the point is: the human nature here is three-dimensional enough. The execution process of
is a process in which real problems are constantly overlapping, entangled, and wrestling with each other, and the execution bureau is the front line where justice and people's hearts are intertwined.
The male protagonist, who has just arrived at the enforcement bureau, faces many difficulties. The process of how to solve the "execution difficulties" and the mass conflicts contained in the case will attract the audience to follow.
2. The cast: Luo Jin leads the cast, with many old acquaintances and a good cast of actors.
Of course, if this drama wants to be successful, the actors must not hold back. I looked at the cast list and found that they are all old acquaintances and have a lot of drama.
No. 1, Luo Jin
In the drama, the male protagonist Qi Lin played by Luo Jin is the absolute core role of the whole drama. The story unfolds from his perspective. In the trailer alone, many highlight passages can be seen.
Director An Jian and Luo Jin have collaborated many times in the past few years, and " An Jia " and " Jiangshan So Many Lovers " have achieved good results.
Luo Jin is one of the rare actors who has successfully transitioned from acting as an ancient puppet to a TV drama. His ability to carry dramas in recent years has been obvious to all, including "Settle Down", "Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses", "The Long River", " Detective Hero ", etc. Missed. In the trailer of
, he is wearing a judge's robe and looks upright, and his appearance and temperament are already very good.
The role of Qi Lin is also played to some extent.
This is not a traditional execution judge. As a newcomer in the execution bureau, his thinking and way of doing things are "niche" - he not only cares about whether the applicant's demands can be achieved, but also pays more attention to the relationship between the applicant and the respondent after execution. Whether the executor can return to normal life.
Luo Jin plays a serious drama. One of the keys to success in one drama is his righteousness and the exquisiteness of his performance. It is actually very difficult to play an absolute positive role. You have to make the audience believe it. As soon as Luo Jin appeared on the stage, he felt right.
If he acted, the drama would be half stable.
The second place is Yang Zishan
The heroine who partners with Luo Jin is Yang Zishan.
Yang Zishan, who rose rapidly with films such as "20 Again", had a quiet development.
However, in the past few years, she has regained her position in the Chinese drama market. In the first half of this year alone, she has released "Riding the Wind and Ride the Waves" and "City Within the City", and their performances are also good.
She is not the best in Chinese dramas in terms of appearance, acting skills, and audience popularity, but overall she is very superior.
It is not difficult to play the role of the heroine Chu Yun, a rigorous, serious and black-and-white president of the court. What is difficult is how to present new ideas.
The third place, Zhang Xilin
Since the spy drama "Before Dawn", Zhang Xilin has been good at playing complex characters with high intelligence, such as Public Security Bureau Chief Ma Yunbo in "Ice Breaking Operation", Liu Xuan in "Chang Feng Du", These are all roles.
The Chen Qilun he plays this time should be the male protagonist’s biggest “rival” in the play. The sentence "All good dogs know that they will only recognize one master" will send chills down the spine of those who read it.
is good at dancing, maneuvering around, and successfully pulls a group of people into the water, but is ultimately defeated by the male protagonist.
Give him this role, three words: discernment.
The fourth place, Fangfang Bin
is not familiar to many people, but when it comes to Gong Weize of "人世", many people should be impressed.
In the past few years, from "Dajiang Dahe 3", "South and North" to " Ask the Heart ", this veteran actor has always played what he is doing in character creation, and never makes mistakes.
In this drama, he will challenge another leadership role - the heroine's immediate boss in the executive bureau.
As soon as he sipped the tea and squinted his eyes, the taste was there.
In fifth place, Wang Tonghui
is another actor who said that he didn’t recognize his name and said that the character had a picture.
Cao Changqing in "Swordsman in the Snow" and the old police officer in "Police Honor" also played whatever they wanted.
He plays the role of a court leader and has no worries about his acting skills.
No. 6, Sarina
As a "professional mother" in Chinese dramas, Sarina has actually played a lot of mothers in the past two years.
This drama finally turned to the role of a loving mother. This time she played the role of the person being executed. She picked up the broom and greeted the person who was executing.
Her partner this time in the role of husband and wife is another national first-class actor Zhao Jun.
Grassroots couple, this is not appropriate.
No. 7, Zhao Ke and Dong Kefei
Let’s talk about these two together. The reason is very simple. Aunt Liu and Dabao from "Qing Yu Nian 2" are both here.
In addition, there are 6 powerful actors including Ding Jiali, Yin Xiaotian, Lin Jiachuan, Liu Xiangjing, Dong Xuan, and Huo Qing. This lineup is definitely not weak.
3. Can a political and legal drama be a hit? The "realism" of watching Chinese dramas
From the perspective of genre, "Executive Judge" is obviously a political and legal drama with realistic themes and the main theme.
Political and legal dramas are a hard nut to crack in domestic dramas, but we also need such works to reflect the respectable frontline staff of executive judges.
's main theme works were once high-pitched and mediocre, but now they have become the secret code of hits. Themes that were not rated in the past are now hits.
So the subject matter is not the problem, the problem is how to shoot. The story of the
Executive Bureau getting through the "last mile" of fairness and justice has its own sense of reality and conflict, and is closely related to the lives of ordinary people.
Coupled with CCTV's support and Luo Jin's audience popularity, once the film is finished, it will look great and it will not be difficult to make it popular.
An Jian, the director of this drama, is famous for his masterpieces such as "The North Wind Blows", "An Jia", etc. He is good at shooting realistic themes, the quality of his works is quite stable, and the characters in his works are also famous for their flesh and blood.
Judging from the final episode, there are about 190 large scenes and 380 detailed scenes in the whole drama. Among them, the construction area of the main scene is about 6,000 square meters.
In addition, with the support and guidance of the Supreme People's Court, the crew selected the filming location of Quanzhou, Fujian Province, which is suitable for the development of the plot, and cleverly used the old streets of Quanzhou to create a humane main scene.
All kinds of hardware are not bad.
But the key to success or failure, in my opinion, lies in the sense of reality.
In the past few years, Chinese dramas have produced a series of excellent political and legal dramas focusing on realism, such as "Hurry", "" and "Inspection Team".
The reality is the foundation of these popular products.
Therefore, the dramas produced are realistic and convincing, and the audience loves to watch such realistic dramas.
I think what "Judge" needs is to shoot the kind of realism and dramatic tension derived from reality.
When the story reflects reality, the audience will naturally linger on it.
What is more meaningful than ratings and popularity is that the audience can understand the group of executive judges and know and understand the law in the story. For example, "We must not only protect the rights of the applicant, but also the rights of the person subject to execution."
"Legal judgments are just justice in the literal sense. We must make the judgments factually just, that is, the people can see and touch them. And real material results, this is the meaning of the existence of the execution judge. "
A real reality-based drama should have an impact on reality. The success or failure of
depends on "execution".
