There is a saying that has been circulating in the Chinese drama circle: You can always trust Yang Ma.
In the film and television drama market in the past two years, wherever CCTV dramas are broadcast, which genre will be popular.
At the beginning of the year, period dramas became a hit, with the release of "North and South". In March, "Storm Chaser", a spy drama, once again broke the trend.
followed " Celebrating More Than Years 2" and " Rose Story" and became hits one after another, revitalizing the costume dramas and urban dramas one after another.
What is the next tough nut to crack in Chinese dramas?
Criminal investigation drama.
None of this year’s criminal investigation dramas have been enjoyable for the audience to watch. From “The Unspeakable” to “The Boy Who Can’t See a Shadow”, they have always felt a bit uninteresting.
Fortunately, CCTV has taken action again.
" Executive Judge " was launched with great success. It was broadcast on eight CCTV channels and simultaneously broadcast on Youku. The ratings of the first 4 episodes were close to the first in the country. This achievement is hard and ruthless.
I finished four episodes in one go. I felt so breathless and had endless aftertaste. The CCTV drama has once again made it not only meaningful, but also watchable.
Dramatic start, too much tension
"Executive Judge" tells the story of Qi Lin ( Luo Jin), a young judge who has the highest case closure rate in Qinggang Court for consecutive years.
Qi Lin, who had just taken office, did not get along well with the original team of the Executive Bureau because he did not understand the working standards of the Executive Bureau. However, after handling several cases one after another, everyone gradually opened up.
A wide net is laid out at the beginning of the play. The plot is fierce and dramatic. The two major points of conflict make people instantly involved.
The first major conflict: Enforcement of house auctions, and my nephew is the judge.
There is no unnecessary introduction to the plot. It directly uses a forced execution to tell the audience what the Executive Bureau does.
With the buzz of police cars, the court car stopped in a shop.
Judge Chu Yun (played by Yang Zishan) entered the store to find the person subject to execution, and informed the store owner that this store would be forced to be auctioned, and the other party was given 7 days to vacate the house and wait for the court to inspect it.
Qi Runyu (played by Sarina ), the owner of the store, was shocked when she heard that her nice house was going to be auctioned.
quickly stepped forward and explained to the judge that she was the homeowner and she had not mortgaged her house.
Moreover, this house was bought by his nephew, Qi Lin, who worked in the court together with the other party, and it must not be taken away.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Yun heard Qi Lin's name, his attitude became even tougher.
After laying out the facts and explaining clearly the ins and outs of why the house was to be auctioned, Chu Yun directly asked his colleagues behind him to paste the execution form on the glass of the store.
Qi Runyu couldn't sit still anymore. He directly picked up a broom and blocked it in front of the store. It was difficult for anyone to come up. No one could post the execution order today.
But this kind of behavior is not advisable. The court directly took Qi Runyu away on the grounds of obstructing official business.
Fang Dacheng (played by Zhao Jun), who saw his wife being "caught", was also anxious. He went directly to the court to find Qi Lin, explained the situation, and asked him to find a solution quickly.
And this brings out the second major conflict in the play: the bottom line between money and justice.
Qi Lin's cousin Fang Qiang (played by Li Xinzhe) was defrauded and owed two million, so he mortgaged Qi Runyu's shop, which led to the court-enforced execution in the opening scene of the plot.
After investigation, Qi Lin discovered that Fang Qiang was deceived, and the culprit turned out to be himself?
Because Qi Lin was dealing with an intentional injury case, the defendant's family wanted the judge to deal with it leniently, so they found someone to come up with a stupid trick and threaten Qi Lin with Fang Qiang's debt.
However, how could Qi Lin, a person who regards money as dirt, be threatened by this kind of threat.
left the sentence " you better be careful, if I find evidence, I will send you all to " and then rode away.
It's so exciting, "Judge" presents the main theme of the show right at the beginning. The content of
also includes many plots that arouse the visual nerves of the audience, such as house enforcement, intentional injury to family members and bribery.
only takes 4 episodes to let the audience understand the background of the story, the identity of the protagonist, and the character. It is simple and clear, without being confusing.
The bottom line is drawn and there is reality.
The protagonist of the story adheres to the bottom line of his career, but he is not a tool person who can't eat the fireworks of the world. Why not make progress based on his ability?
The joys and sorrows of real people can always connect with the earth and arouse the empathy of the audience. At this point in the performance, the audience was also entranced by the natural and life-like acting skills of the protagonists.
The acting of the lead actors is online, and the supporting roles are excellent.
Good actors are always the foundation of a work. The most important thing in the show "Judge" is good actors.
ranks first, Luo Jin.
Luo Jin's works are more sophisticated than too many. From " Anjia " to "The Long River of the World", he gradually moved towards serious dramas and established a foothold in this genre.
In the new drama, Qi Lin, played by Luo Jin, looks upright when he appears, wearing a suit, and the smell comes immediately.
However, Qi Lin, who was solemn and solemn in court, returned home and faced his aunt who always defended him. He immediately became a "good nephew with twenty-four filial piety" and did not bring any official flavor to his home.
Listening to his aunt’s analysis of his work and his boss, Qi Lin couldn’t laugh or cry while eating fruit and looking at each other. The smile and emotion in his eyes overflowed the screen. The acting was so natural and vivid.
second place, Sarina.
Veteran drama star Sarina’s acting skills are equally solid.
When she heard that the judge was going to post the execution order on the door of her store, Qi Runyu, played by Sarina, was like a wild horse running wild, rushing over to stop him. The ferocious state of
is so immersive. After
was arrested for obstructing official duties, Qi Runyu looked at her nephew Qi Lin who came to visit. She knew that she had gotten into trouble. She looked at him with watery eyes and felt that she would shed tears of regret in the next second.
Moreover, after Qi Runyu saw Qi Lin, her first reaction was that she had embarrassed her nephew, so she had a look of grievance and annoyance on her face. Her overly life-like acting skills made people empathize with the character's emotions.
Sarina’s acting skills are so expressive.
is third, Zhang Xilin .
I can only say that after this drama, I am even more convinced that Zhang Xilin is suitable to play the villain. In
's new drama, he plays the entrepreneur Chen Qilun, who is well-dressed in a suit and looks unfathomable when wearing glasses.
Moreover, Chen Qilun has a strong aura of ambition. When he talks to his lawyer calmly and calmly, his high and mighty state of pointing the country is played by Zhang Xi with full intensity.
has proficient acting skills and aura. With a smile, he can portray the sinister feeling of the villain. He is so powerful.
ranked fourth, Zhao Jun.
In " Little Days ", Zhu Dali, played by Zhao Jun, is dictatorial and has a machismo that makes people grit their teeth.
However, in the new drama, his and Sarina's family status is directly reversed.
During the family meeting, Fang Dacheng, played by Zhao Jun, stood aside timidly, listening to the quarrel between his son and his wife. He wanted to go up to stop him but was afraid of being scolded.
had his hands crossed and his face was full of worry for his son. It was really funny and sad to watch.
ranked fifth, Lin Jiachuan.
Lin Jiachuan is also a talented person who is full of drama.
In the new drama, he plays Zhang Rui , a character who has been favored by his father since he was a child.
Faced with his sister's insult, he burst into tears, as if he had been greatly wronged. He looked like he had been bullied for many years and only dared to reveal his feelings when he was drunk.
But looking at the trailer, this Zhang Rui is the child who is favored by all. I don’t know what kind of story this character has. I’m really looking forward to it.
In addition, powerful actors such as Fang Fang Bin, Zhao Ke , and Wang Tonghui all showed outstanding acting skills in the play. The group portraits are so enjoyable to watch.
Conclusion
has just aired 4 episodes, and this drama has already firmly established itself as CCTV’s most important ratings tool. This is just the beginning. As word of mouth ferments, the ratings are likely to get better and better.
But this is what the series deserves, especially in the domestic film and television environment, this is a super-level "proposition composition".
In recent years, dramas with main themes have increasingly become the first choice for all age groups to watch dramas, and have also become popular in the market.
However, there has not yet been a representative work on the rule of law drama. The reason behind it is very simple. It is that realistic themes are difficult to control, and rule of law themes are even more difficult to film.
But the more difficult it is to shoot, the more valuable it is.
The most rare thing about "Executive Judge" is that it captured a group of flesh-and-blood court people.
and allows the audience to believe what they have experienced, and then follow the protagonist's perspective and enter complex real-life cases. This is the real law popularization drama.
