It has been climbing ever since, exceeding 9,000 on August 17, and the highest value reached 9,243 on August 18, firmly ranking among the most popular TV series on iQiyi. No. 1 on the list, setting a record for the most popularity of a short series with less than 20 episodes. Why has this online drama about the prosecution of minors attracted so much attention?
Responding to the needs of the times
Filling the gap in the theme of unindicted prosecutors
In recent years, crime themes are not uncommon in film and television works, but there are very few that focus on crimes involving minors. Works with related themes are still the rule of law-themed film and television works "Juvenile Delinquent" (movie) and "Searching for the World" (TV series) broadcast nearly 40 years ago.
"Finally, there is a TV series focusing on the protection of minors! Every character in the show is lifelike and has a distinct personality, and every case is gripping and thought-provoking." "What attracted me was not only the plot, but also the message conveyed. The rule of law has positive energy and warmth.”… Two days after the show started, many netizens shared their experience of watching the show on their social platforms.
"As a mother, I hope that children can clearly realize which behaviors are harmful to themselves and know how to prevent and respond to them." Talking about the original intention of the creation, Du Xiaoxia, a producer of the Film and Television Center of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, seemed to have returned to 2018. That scene in the spring afternoon of 2017 - children were playing happily on the lawn, and my mobile phone received a news push about crimes involving minors. The crimes in the news incident were minors' ignorance of the law and minors who were illegally violated. Human helplessness is really heartbreaking. Many unindicted prosecutors have told Du Xiaoxia that the deeper the case is handled, the more determined they will be in their mission and responsibility as unindicted persons. "We must release a work with the theme of protecting minors!" This is the common wish of her and the prosecutors.
"Our idea received strong support from the leaders of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Film and Television Center, and we quickly found the ideal screenwriters - Ma Yangyang, Du Yuangu and Ge Ge." Du Xiaoxia said.
After completing the preliminary preparation work required for creation, in order to have a deeper understanding of the situation of crimes involving minors, Du Xiaoxia took the creative team to the Juvenile Prosecution Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate at that time, and met with the uninspected prosecutors. The officials talked about the case, the data, and the measures. During this trip, they realized that the uninspected work known to the public is only the "tip of the iceberg" and some good systems and measures should be spread deeper and further, so that more people can see them and play a greater role. The overall tone of telling the story of the protection of minors from the perspective of a prosecutor was thus set.
Jia Zhiqi, head of iQiyi Qixi Studio, and Li Yongjie, general manager of New Power Culture, were both moved by such sentiments and creativity and became the chief producers of "Prosecutor Nine".
Jia Zhiqi believes: "Such themes fill the gap of 'unindicted prosecutors' themes, provide new perspectives and content for the audience, and also respond to the needs of the times for the protection of minors."
"For those working in the film and television industry For readers, such a fresh and challenging subject matter can bring a certain amount of motivation and pleasure to the work. What attracts me more is the social, cultural and public welfare attributes of the subject matter itself. "Li Yongjie believes that no matter it is the script. In both creation and drama production, it is necessary to find the "degree" between the scale of the case and the social impact. The principle of maximizing the protection of the interests of minors must be used to deeply dig into the root problems behind the occurrence of the case.
strives to avoid the pain of consuming minors and is committed to conveying the determination of the state and judicial agencies to protect minors. This is the original intention and consensus of the main creative team.
In the 18-episode series, Director Liang Hao laid out a bright line through the progressive cases of sexual assault, campus bullying, fraud, etc., and used the clues behind the case to lay a hidden line. The two lines were once responsible for the prosecution After the investigating prosecutor Lei Xu parachuted into the newly established "Nine Departments" of the grassroots procuratorate, the truth gradually became intertwined and clarified, and the truth was revealed step by step. Liang Hao was praised by the audience as a director with "ideas".
Lei Xu's career change as a "half-way monk" has introduced a new "uninspected novice" perspective to the series, making it easier for the audience to get closer to him and understand the uninspected work. In the play, the advancement of the case intersects and interlocks with the daily work of prosecutors. While reflecting the particularity and complexity of uninspected work, it also comprehensively reflects the importance of family care, school responsibility and social guidance.
In this drama, Liang Hao used his unique lens language to create many meaningful scenes in the story. For example, in the bar ordering scene, the girls are doing their makeup in the mirror, but they don't know that the mirror in front of them is a double-sided mirror, and they are being selected as "dishes" by the buyers on the other side. This short scene shocked the audience greatly and triggered people to think deeply about issues related to the protection of minors.
Although crime involving minors is a relatively heavy subject, the interpretation of "Prosecutor of the Nine Parts" is warm and healing. In this drama, the unindicted prosecutors are not "paper figures" who are serious about promoting the law, but ordinary people who are down-to-earth and smoky. They allow the audience to see the efforts made by the state and judicial organs to protect the healthy growth of minors. The efforts and efforts have attracted more people’s attention and attention to the protection of minors.
“When I came into contact with prosecutors without prosecution, I found that their hearts were soft and contagious. When sharing cases, prosecutors would choke up and even burst into tears from time to time. These cases also touched me deeply—— What prosecutors handle is not just a case, but a child's life," Jia Zhiqi said.
Elaborating on the details of the case handling
Recreating the real case handling scenes
One of the joys of watching the movie for many netizens is to unlock the "proper names" of uninspected work simultaneously as the plot progresses.
In episode 4, a rule of law class opened the heart of student Jiang Xiaojie. She took the initiative to contact Lei Xu, the vice principal of rule of law, and revealed the secret that she had been sexually assaulted. When Lei Xu proposed to call the police, Jiang Xiaojie suddenly disappeared. Du Ziyu, a prosecutor from the same department, told Lei Xu that after he questioned her alone, Jiang Xiaojie would be questioned again, which would cause her secondary harm.
What this clip reflects is the procuratorate’s exploration and practice of the “one-stop” inquiry and rescue mechanism for minor victims. Through watching the drama, netizens have clearly seen the specific application and operation of these special procedures for minors in judicial practice, and also understood how these procedures provide solid protection for the legitimate rights and interests of minors.
As a group drama, "Nine Prosecutors" brings unfamiliar prosecutors such as bailiffs and clerks into the public eye.
For actor Wang Zhener, who has determined to become a people's policeman since she was a child, the role of bailiff Xu Zhangli is very attractive to her.In the
TV series, Xu Zhangli's sentence "This is the first time in so many years that I have been asked by a colleague. His rank is lower than mine." The audience couldn't help but laugh and couldn't help but wonder, what exactly does a bailiff do?
is responsible for serving relevant legal documents, participating in searches and pursuits, and protecting the safety of prosecutors... During the interview, Wang Zhener was very familiar with the responsibilities of the judicial police of the Procuratorate.
Through Wang Zhener's interpretation, the audience learned that the judicial police are a branch of the people's police. The judicial police of the procuratorate are responsible for maintaining the order of procuratorial work and ensuring the smooth progress of procuratorial work.
"Prosecutor of the Nine Departments" also makes the familiar and unfamiliar prosecutorial work such as the vice principal of the rule of law, family education guidance, and "supervision and supervision order" gradually become concrete and vivid in the hearts of the audience.
Actor Zhang Yi, who challenged the image of a prosecutor for the first time, has a wonderful connection with the work of under-inspection. In 2022, he became a spokesperson for legal education and spoke for the mandatory reporting system for cases of violations of minors.
For Zhang Yi, systematic mastery of uninspected professional knowledge, case-handling principles and case-handling models is an inevitable requirement for accurately interpreting the role of Lei Xu.
In a scene where Jiang Xiaojie changed her statement in court, Du Ziyu suggested that the prosecutor's office apply to the court to postpone the trial. Lei Xu opposed the postponement of the trial in order to bring out the manipulator behind the scenes.
"What will happen if the trial is not postponed?" Zhang Yi outside the play asked. "If the trial is not postponed, will the criminal suspect Su Da escape the sanction of the law?" Zhang Yi was confused by this.
At the shooting scene, the unindicted prosecutor of the professional advisory group introduced in detail the applicable circumstances and important role of applying for deferred trial of juvenile cases based on judicial practice. This made Zhang Yi understand that "giving up deferred trial does not mean that the criminal suspect Su "Danone is at large" has a deeper understanding and interpretation.
"We are very grateful to the prosecutors who helped us during the filming process!" Zhang Yi said.
"At the filming scene, we will have in-depth exchanges with the prosecutors who have not yet been prosecuted when it comes to professional knowledge and case handling procedures. They will also share their true inner feelings and touches during the case handling process." Liang Hao said.
From the preparation of the script to the completion of filming, the creative team has conducted in-depth interviews with more than a dozen grassroots prosecutors through online and offline methods. During the script creation and filming process, we also maintained close contact with Wang Jun, director of the Ninth Procuratorial Department of the Procuratorate of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. At the same time, we connected with model prosecutors across the country to learn valuable experience and advanced ideas on uninspected work.
Fan Ziwen, a second-level inspector of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate’s Information Office (then the full-time deputy director of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate’s Film and Television Center), said that the courts and procuratorate buildings in the play were all shot in real locations. “The filming process received strong support from the Hainan Provincial Procuratorate. Not only did they A script consultant team of 10 people was formed, and 13 people were also selected to form a shooting guidance team during the intense work. The on-site guidance staff were arranged in shifts according to the daily shooting tasks, and the costumes, props, scenes, etc. were carefully checked."
"This drama is a vivid microcosm of the lack of inspection work in recent years." Shen Gaobin, full-time deputy editor-in-chief of the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center, introduced that the background of the story is the internal organizational reform of the Supreme People's Procuratorate in 2019, which added the "Ninth Procuratorate" ”, is specifically responsible for the prosecution of minors, and local procuratorial organs at all levels have also adjusted their organizational structure and functions accordingly. At that time, many uninspected prosecutors came from the criminal prosecution line and played an important role in uninspected work with their solid criminal business skills.
Just like Lei Xu, everyone has experienced a cognitive change. "For Lei Xu, who always handles major cases, uninspected cases seem a bit 'pediatric'. After slowly getting started, he deeply realized the unusualness of uninspected work and realized the difficulties involved, and eventually grew into a An excellent prosecutor." Jia Zhiqi said.
To perform prosecutorial duties better
Promote the "Six Major Protections" to coordinate efforts
"What is on the other side of the sea?"
In the play, the desperate Jiang Xiaojie asked this sentence.
In reality, this is the most real pain and confusion about the future for minors in trouble.
Fortunately, Lei Xu and other prosecutors responded with practical actions: "Beyond the sea is redemption and rebirth."
How to better protect our children is a "must-answer question" for the whole society.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to the protection of minors. Against this background, on June 1, 2021, the revised Law on the Protection of Minors and the Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency were officially implemented, building a "six-in-one" future of family, school, society, network, government, and justice. A new landscape for adult protection.
The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to "strengthen and improve the protection of the rights and interests of minors" and included this work in the deployment of important reform projects for improving the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics.
"I hope this drama can convey the importance and determination of the party and the country to the protection of minors to every family and every corner, and promote the promotion of the 'Six Major Protections' to better form a synergy and allow minors to When people encounter difficulties, they dare to ask for help and are good at asking for help," said Li Yongjie.
"The procuratorial organs are the only judicial organs that participate in the entire process of judicial protection of minors and play a vital role in the protection of minors. I hope that the uninspected work will attract more people's understanding and attention." Liang Hao express.
Du Ziyu actor Qin Lan said that on the basis of handling cases in accordance with the law, unindicted prosecutors need to be more patient and give more care, education and influence to minors. "Just like the nine prosecutors in the drama, they always subtly guide the children during the case handling process, letting them know what is legal and correct, while protecting the legitimate rights and interests of minors to the greatest extent." Qin Lan said.
Qin Lan wants to tell children that when they are violated, they should immediately report it to their parents, teachers and public security organs. Don't do evil things because of small things, and don't do things that violate laws and regulations. She also hopes that parents and guardians of minors can pay more attention to their children's psychological problems and communicate with their children in a caring and guiding way.
"The child's matter is not only your family matter, but also our Jiubu matter." This line greatly touched Zou Yuanqing, the actor who plays Assistant Prosecutor Liu Liu. "Uninspected prosecutors not only help minor victims get out of the shadows, but also help minors involved in crimes rehabilitate themselves. They also actively promote social governance and constantly deal with new situations and new problems in the protection of minors. They are true 'hundreds of people' Become a prosecutor," Zou Yuanqing said.
"We usually think that 'hairy children' are immature and face simple and easy problems. However, in the world of children and teenagers, there are also many difficulties that they cannot overcome. Children's mental health should be paid more attention to." Chinese People's Public Security Bureau Shang Jingjian, associate professor at the University's School of Marxism and director of the Public Security Culture Teaching and Research Office, hopes that there will be more prosecutorial film and television works like "Nine Prosecutors", the better.
"The play involves minors' access to bars, Internet cafes, e-sports hotels, live broadcasts, plastic surgery and other hot social issues. I hope it will arouse more attention and thinking from everyone." Jia Zhiqi said.
Social organizations and social workers use professional knowledge and methods to participate in psychological intervention, observation, assistance and education for minors involved in cases, which can produce better intervention effects. Xi Xiaohua, a professor at Capital Normal University, executive director of the Beijing Institute of Youth Social Work, and executive director of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Juvenile Procuratorial Social Support System Construction Research Base, who has cooperated with the Beijing Haidian District Procuratorate in the field of judicial social work for 15 years, hopes that there will be More social forces are involved in the construction of the social support system for juvenile prosecution. In the last episode of
, Xu Zhangli put on prosecutorial uniform and became an uninspected prosecutor. Wang Zhener shared that Xu Zhangli and herself felt the importance of uninspected work while handling the case. “I hope more people will join this ‘flower protection’ team.”
“The people’s new expectations for the protection of minors have put forward new and higher requirements for uninspected work."As one of the special observers of the advanced screening meeting, Yan Bing, prosecutor of the Ninth Procuratorate Department of the Beijing Municipal Procuratorate, told reporters that they will thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and follow the deployment requirements of the Grand Prosecutor Seminar , use better prosecutorial duties to promote the coordinated efforts of the "six major protections" to provide more powerful judicial protection for the healthy growth of minors.
"We must stabilize the creative orientation, control quality standards, and anchor our efforts." Let the people feel the goal of fairness and justice in every judicial case, and tell vivid stories of the procuratorial organs practicing Xi Jinping's thoughts on the rule of law and Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts, and handling every case with high quality and efficiency. "Li Hui, director of the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center, said when talking about the work of procuratorate film and television promotion and culture, the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center will continue to extend the perspective of topic selection and communication tentacles, and create more high-quality prosecutorial film and television dramas that are both popular and popular. "Moisturizing things silently " spread the socialist rule of law culture effectively and contribute procuratorial power to the construction of the rule of law in China.
