In 1986, Lin Ru prepared the TV series "Plainclothes Policeman" for the director, and used Two newcomers, Hu Yajie and Tan Xiaoyan, to play the leading roles. Although Hu Yajie is a student at the film school, he does not have much experience in filming. Moreover, Tan Xiaoyan learned dance and had never been exposed to performance.

How can we get them closer to the character and create a good character? Lin Ru decided to let all the actors experience life first. In the play, Song Chunli plays the female police officer Yan Jun, and when she experiences life, she goes with the police to try the case. A week later, when Song Chunli came out of the Dongcheng branch in Beijing after the experience, she saw that everyone felt like a bad person.
Song Chunli as Yan Jun
Zhou Tiehai, the actor who plays Zhou Zhiming's colleague Lu Zhenyu, was even imprisoned in a detention center in order to experience life! Zhou Tiehai recalled that as soon as he entered, he was kicked to the ground and thrown a towel to let him wipe the floor. It didn't take long to have dinner, and there were two of them in the nest. It happened to be a weekend, and the detention center improved life and had a pork stew noodles. Zhou Tiehai's heart fluttered, just about to reach out and hold it up, boom! As soon as I turned around, the two nest heads were robbed! Looking back, the bowl of pork stew noodles is gone!
Zhou Tiehai came out after being locked up in the detention center for a few hours, and according to the words of the detention center at the time, this was only half a process. The most hanging is Hu Yajie, but he was only known to the director of the detention center, starting from the body search, locked up for two days, and experienced a "full set".

In the play, Zhou Zhiming was unjustly imprisoned, and just after coming to the prison, he saw a person, this person is Du Weidong, the thief he caught earlier. Very dramatically, this scene that happened in the TV series, Hu Yajie also encountered when he experienced life. A habitual thief who had been interrogated before when he experienced life in the criminal police team was actually locked up in the same detention center, which made Hu Yajie's heart, who was already insecure, suddenly rise to his throat.
Although many years have passed, Hu Yajie still remembers that experience vividly. He said that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to close his eyes all night, so he forced himself to beat the bricks on the wall. In the end, after counting the bricks of a wall, I still didn't dare to blink, for fear of accidents. It is with these personal experiences that the actors' performances are more real and fuller. In order to let these young actors always maintain this enthusiasm for creation, Lin Ruwei also came up with various methods.
In the play, Zhou Zhiming was unjustly imprisoned for unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and was in a desolate situation. In order to let Hu Yajie accurately find this feeling and create an atmosphere, director Lin Ruwei secretly asked the rest of the crew to deliberately isolate and coldly Hu Yajie and not talk to him.
In this way, in addition to the normal lines and discussion of the script, the crew colleagues and Hu Yajie no longer have any communication. Hu Yajie also found that the crew that had said that there was laughter before, how did they suddenly look at each other coldly? Hu Yajie, who did not know the truth, was very confused, and he kept reflecting on whether he had done something wrong, or if he had said something wrong. However, what depressed him the most was that he could not find a reason.

This isolation lasted for three months, and Hu Yajie was extremely miserable, and the feeling of grievance was naturally revealed during the performance. It wasn't until after the shooting that the director told Hu Yajie the truth of the matter. This is why there is Zhou Zhiming, a lonely and painful, tenacious and persistent plainclothes policeman on the screen.
