the subway throws the corpse, the court reverses unexpectedly?

The most suitable opening method in the limited time

"The Silent Truth" opens with Zhang Chao throwing his body on the subway, confessing the crime, and revoking the confession in court. Although Liao Fan and Ning Li acted online, some netizens said that even if they haven't read the original work, they can guess that it is a corpse when the box appears, and the subsequent reversal in court is also expected. In this regard, Chen Yifu said that the shooting time for the opening scene is indeed limited, and the crew has been looking for many different ways to deal with it. "What everyone sees now is also the most appropriate way to deal with it at the time. There are many ways to shoot and deal with a scene. This is a matter of choice. What everyone sees now is that our entire team is very interested in this scene. The cognition and choice. But I believe that there must be other ways that may be more suitable, and today’s presentation is the most suitable way we have found in a limited time."

Ning Li opened

Jiang Yang with "Flashback"

brought the audience into the show gradually

In Zijin Chen's original work, "Long Night is Hard to Know" is a story known for telling characters and plot development, and there are not many elements involved in case reasoning. Different from "The Hidden Corner" Zhang Dongsheng pushed his father-in-law down the mountain as soon as he came up, and he was able to get out of the circle at the beginning. "Long Night is Difficult" from the beginning of the story and the introduction of characters, one by one, pushing the case deeper and deeper. This is a process that requires "entering into the play". Judging from the current viewing effect, the audience is more impressed with Jiang Yang's memories of his life than the corpse thrown in the subway. As the protagonist of the case, Jiang Yang appeared with a "flashback" technique. The first time he appeared, he was a corpse huddled in a suitcase. And as the plot narrative unfolds, Jiang Yang, a young prosecutor who should have a bright future before his death, why did such a successful and happy young man step by step fall into such a desperate situation? Until the end was killed. The questioning of this clue has also become the biggest suspense of the whole play.

Bai Yu plays Jiang Yang

three-line narrative "Fighting for Justice"

suspense type elements make the story not thin

There are three story lines in "The Silent Truth", Hou Guiping investigates the sexual assault case of female students, Jiang Yang investigates the suicide case of Hou Guiping, These two lines are described in more detail in the original novel. The third line is the subway corpse throwing case investigated by Yan Liang and Ren Yueting. This story line is basically the second creation of the director and screenwriter. In this branch, the release of female reporters and Jiugongge photos and the setting of a 24-day time limit for solving the case have increased the tension of the whole show. Chen Yifu said that he hopes to add some elements that should be included in the "Silent Truth".

From the beginning of Hou Guiping's investigation, to Jiangyang's investigation, and finally Yan Liang led the task force to bring the truth to the surface, the three of them were actually working hard for justice. This feeling of passing down the fire is also Chen Yifu. The effect I wanted to achieve at the beginning of the script. In his opinion, there are many suspenseful elements in this three-line narrative story, which does not make the sense of suspense of the whole story seem too thin. "At the core, it is still a socialist reasoning. We really value the emotions and emotions of the characters more. But in any case, we don't feel that this story lacks genre elements." The three protagonists of

"Interaction in Space" Cases take on each other

filming transitions spend a lot of time

The most distinctive part of the show is that the three lines go hand in hand, as if three parallel time and space. The first line is Jiangtan City in 2010. Zhang Chao’s subway dumped his body and turned around. Yan Liang participated in the investigation of the case and was constantly involved in the investigation.People who are inextricably linked to Jiangyang include Zhang Chao's wife Li Jing, Jiang Yang's ex-girlfriend Wu Aike, Hou Guiping who died ten years ago, and the mysterious tramp. In the process of investigating the case, Yan Liang discovered that Jiang Yang had been investigating another case, the suicide case of Hou Guiping, which was the second line. In order to investigate Hou Guiping's case, Jiang Yang gave his career and family love, but he never gave up even if he encountered numerous obstacles. The third line is the story about Hou Guiping, and it is also the source of all these events. In 2000, Hou Guiping came to Miaogao Township to support education and found that a female student committed suicide because of sexual assault. During the process of appealing and investigating the female student's case, he was unknowingly framed by the dark forces behind the scenes and sacrificed his life.

advances in three lines, using the event paragraph node transitions between different time and space to create a suspenseful and tense atmosphere. One of the time and space stories unlocks the foreshadowing of the other time and space, and brings together clues collected from different time and space, and finally points to that The buried truth. The "interaction in space" of the three protagonists in time and space also makes the whole story look like a relay of justice. The pictures in the play continue to shuttle between 2000, 2003 and 2010.

Yan Liang led Ren Yueting to investigate the case.

"In fact, we first separated the three story lines to organize the events at the beginning, and pulled the three stories out first, and each line will be a complete logical combing. After straightening out, we will start to allocate it later. Intersperse and connect these stories." Chen Yifu said that many different similarities were used in the filming, such as similarity in time, space, or similarity in plot and action. For example, in one of the scenes, Jiang Yang went to see Teacher Ma. Through the camera movement, he saw Hou Guiping returning to school. In fact, Jiang Yang and Hou Guiping are in the same space but not at the same time. The three lines of

are actually three cases, and they actually have a mutual inheritance relationship. The reason why they are presented in this way, Chen Yifu thinks that it would be very interesting to make a three-line parallel narrative structure. After we decided to make a three-line parallel narrative structure, we needed to reorganize the entire Yan Liang story line, because this line is basically a complete re-creation. "While unfolding the three lines, there is no lack of conflicts. For example, Jiang Yang, who Zhang Chao and his wife say, are people with extremely poor personalities. But Jiang Yang, whom his ex-girlfriend Wu Ai said, is another prosecutor who is active, sunny and full of justice. What is the truth in the end has also become an attractive point to watch. As for the shooting of

, because there are three time and space narratives involved, Chen Yifu said that he would spend a lot of time in transitions. "This is what worries us when shooting this so-called multi-time and space narrative." The original work of

In the eyes of Chen Yifu, "This story is passionate." When he first saw this novel, he was moved by the determination and obsession of the group of Jiang Yang, as well as Yan Liang, Jiang Yang, Zhang Chao, etc. The emotional connection between the characters is what impresses Chen Yifu the most in the novel, especially Jiang Yang, who is very ideal and emotional. Although they encountered all kinds of obstructions, Chen Yifu saw more of the spirit of this group of people not giving up, "In my opinion, creating a suspense drama requires us to pay more attention to the rich suspense genre elements. I think the emotions of the characters and the relationship between the characters are what the creators and the audience care most about.” Therefore, in the direction of adaptation, the emotional connection of these people has become the most important theme of "The Silent Truth".

Yan Liang is a ranger

Liao Fan adds a lot of details to the character

In the part of life, Yan Liang’s subtle changes in characters and the investigation process are implicitly linked. Through his investigation process, he reveals the stories behind himself and the people around him. Yan Liang actually hasFrom his character background and growth context, in Chen Yifu’s view, Yan Liang is a ranger. As early as the beginning of the story, he has experienced the ups and downs and turbulence of life, so he is calm and restrained, but at the same time he It is the core of the whole story, because he finally resolved the case that Hou Guiping and Jiang Yang could not vindicate. He was the key person to solve the whole case. His restrainedness and calmness make him have a strong contrast with other characters, which can also highlight the particularity of Yan Liang's character. "It's also because he didn't have big ups and downs, no obvious changes, but became a characteristic in all characters, because in that line of Jiangyang, everyone has a strong fate."

Because of this role, Chen Yifu is determined to let Ning Li play Zhang Chao, “Because this role has a strong sense of contrast, he needs to look ordinary and ordinary at the beginning, and he needs to appear smart and intelligent when confronting Yan Liang. It broke out completely. I think Ning Li can perform a huge contrast like Zhang Chao.”

In Chen Yifu's eyes, Tan Zhuo has a restrained temperament and a sense of mystery. "So from the very beginning, I hope she will play this role. Later Tan Zhuo accepted the role after reading the script, and provided a lot of her insights and ideas for the role."
