At 18:00 on February 10th, produced by Changying Group and other units, Zhao Yi and Zheng Hao served as chief producers, directed and written by Cha Muchun, supervised by Fan Wei, and starred by Fan Wei and Yu Nan in the Northeast suspenseful comedy " "Crime: Past Events in Northeast China" (hereinafter referred to as the online drama "Crime") is exclusively broadcast on Youku Suspense Theater Gaoneng. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed the director Zha Muchun. He said that this drama is a "two-way journey" between himself and Fan Wei, and Jilin has also given great inspiration to this drama.

Jilin is an inspiration to the entire crew

At the beginning of the preparation of the script of "Merciful Gong", Zha Muchun chose Northeastern actors with the Northeast as the background. The play is both the starring role and the producer. In fact, the two of us initiated this project together, so we started talking about the actors very early. Teacher Fan suggested that this play should try to ensure that all actors from the Northeast, because we have already done enough in other aspects I did my homework and tried to restore the texture of that era and geography. In the performance, Mr. Fan felt that people in the Northeast have a lot of things that are inherent in them, or things that people in the Northeast have learned from childhood, which may be difficult for people from other places to imitate. Then we hit it off immediately. So when we were filming, we often joked that 99% of the entire crew, except the director, are from the Northeast, and the crew speaks Northeast dialect.”

Most of the scenes were filmed in Jilin, Chamu Chun said: "The scene of our drama is set in a city dominated by large industrial factories, and the ecological environment radiated by the factory area. There are residential buildings, post offices, police stations, hospitals, vegetable markets, video halls, etc. around the factory area. Most of them were filmed in Jilin, because Jilin retains many old factory buildings, residential areas, buildings... Some scenes are particularly inspiring to the entire crew."

Working hard and having fun with Northeast actors An in-depth cooperation between Chun and Fan Wei, in his words, this cooperation is a "two-way trip", "We cooperated more than ten years ago, when I wrote the first film "Departure in Seven Days" as a screenwriter, Teacher Fan is the male number one, and at that time he wanted to say, we will cooperate again, and after ten years, we finally went to success."

Because there are so many people from the Northeast in the crew, the working atmosphere is hardworking and happy, said Cha Muchun : "There are so many good actors together, and they are all from the Northeast, so although they often work 17, 18 or 19 hours a day when they are desperate, they are very happy. Sometimes small things are messed up. It was very funny. For example, once we filmed the confrontation scene between Hu Ting played by Pan Binlong and Lao Bian played by Han Yanbo. The two sides were too involved and well acted. I wanted to go in and smoke them while watching on the monitor. After the two played against each other, Pan Binlong was so angry that he hiccupped. As a result, he couldn't act in the next scene, and couldn't speak his lines. , Pan Binlong himself said, this is the first time in his life that he has been so popular by a villain."
