The drama "People's Police" premiered on CCTV 8 at 8:30 p.m. on October 7, with only 1 episode and a rating of 2.35. But this rating may be stained with the light of the finale of "Night and Dawn", because the ratings of the last episode of "Night and Dawn" broke 2.69, and by the time "People's Police" was broadcast, the ratings had actually fallen.
The police work depicted in "People's Police" is comprehensive and detailed, the plot is relatively rough and trivial, and the pace is slow. I feel that this drama is suitable for uncles and aunts who like slow-paced TV series, sitting on the sofa slowly and watching tea at the same time.
The beginning of the story takes place during the Spring Festival of the millennium (2000), when heavy snow fell and a serious traffic accident occurred on the Dongxin Expressway, causing the road to be blocked.
There is a suspect who is carrying more than a dozen murders and is ready to escape, Liu Guangsheng (played by Li Naiwen), the captain of the criminal police team of the Municipal Bureau, leads the people to control at the toll station, and the young police officer Zhao Haiyang (played by Lu Yi) drives, together with colleagues Xia Hui (played by Tan Kai) and Equation (played by Ma Yuan), closely following the suspect's car.
But when the suspect received a call and learned that the police were arresting him, he threw a barrel of oil next to a truck and set the oil on fire, causing a riot at the scene.
The suspect wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but happened to crash into a pregnant woman's car, the pregnant woman's stomach was stuck by the steering wheel, Xia Hui, Zhao Haiyang and the equation hurriedly got out of the car to rescue, only to find that the suspect had installed a time bomb in the car.
In order to save the pregnant woman, Xia Hui rushed out in the car with a time bomb, sacrificing himself to save his colleagues and the pregnant woman.
Xia Hui sacrificed, and the equation wrote a report that recorded the incident in detail, causing the leaders of the bureau to unanimously believe that it was precisely because of Zhao Haiyang's abnormal behavior that aroused the suspicion of the criminals that Xia Hui died, so Zhao Haiyang was sent to the grassroots level for training, and the equation also took the initiative to apply for transfer.
Fast forward to 2016, 16 years later, at this time, Zhao Haiyang was already the deputy director of the Dongzhou City Public Security Bureau, and Liu Guangsheng had already been promoted to the city leader, and the equation also graduated with a doctorate and was sent to the Dongzhou City Public Security Bureau as a temporary deputy director.
Xia Hui's son Xiaotian has been taken care of by Zhao Haiyang for many years and has graduated from the police academy.
And the equation has been silently concerned about Xiaotian's growth over the years, and he buys this and that for Xiaotian as an online friend, and cares about everything about him.
This is where the official story begins.
The police story is much the same, and the key depends on how well the details are controlled. But from the texture of the first episode, it can be seen that the production of the show is relatively rough, and the plot is not very rigorous.
Since the public security bureau has arranged for people to arrest the suspects in the murder case, and it is snowing, how can it make a good plan, so many criminal police and traffic police are present, and the criminals are also detonated oil barrels, crashed cars, and detonated bombs.
And on a snowy day that is difficult to walk, the pregnant woman is about to give birth, so why do you drive alone if she doesn't stay at home or go to the hospital to give birth?
None of these plots stand up to scrutiny.
In addition to the big cases throughout the play, it is also interspersed with cases about people's lives, such as being deceived in buying health care products and investing, fighting in the vegetable market, etc., these plots seem to be more down-to-earth, but the filming is relatively procrastinated.
The plot is generally very average, let's take a look at the actors' acting skills.
Tan Kai is a powerful actor, but he didn't expect to make a cameo, and he went offline in seconds within a few minutes of going online.
The male number one in the play is Zhao Haiyang played by Lu Yi, and the female number one is An Ping played by Wan Qian.
Lu Yi has not come out to film for many years, it can be said that his acting performance is a big disappointment!
Using him as the male lead is the biggest failure of the show!
Compared with when he played "In the Name of the People", Lu Yi's acting skills have not improved at all, but his spirit has collapsed.
Zhao Haiyang, played by Lu Yi, lacks the ability and neatness of a policeman, and looks slimy.
If an actor has not filmed for many years, does not think about his acting skills, but frequently appears in variety shows, or enjoys retirement with peace of mind, then he will only have long acting skills, without the face of his idol Xiaosheng when he was young, and without the blessing of acting skills, he really can't watch it.
Wan Qian's performance is better than Lu Yi, her temperament is still more suitable for this kind of sassy police role, and her acting skills are also good.
Judging from the quality of the premiere, it also depicts the life of the police, and "People's Police" is much worse than "Police Honor".
To be honest, I'm disappointed with this drama, and I may give up on the drama and not chase it.
