After "In the Name of the People" became popular that year, the anti-corruption drama also became a hit.
And the scale of anti-corruption dramas has also become a matter of concern to everyone.
If the scale is too small, it will look fake, but if the scale is too large, it may not even be broadcast.
For example, "National Action" starring Zhang Yi was withdrawn by CCTV overnight just as it was about to start broadcasting.
Highly anticipated
As an anti-corruption drama produced by CCTV, it attracted a lot of attention as soon as filming started.
This drama tells the story of the Mianyang 1.10 case that has not been solved for four years.
Subsequently, He Yanling led the task force to carry out a tough battle against the criminal group and its protective umbrella.
And the story is still based on real events, which can be said to be full of highlights.
Coupled with a strong cast, everyone's expectations have been raised to a higher level.
As an anti-corruption drama produced by CCTV, the quality must be guaranteed.
There is no drama like some TV series, inviting a bunch of traffic students to act.
All the actors were carefully selected by director Gao Qunshu.
Gao Qunshu's casting and directing skills must be clear to everyone.
The popular "Conquest" was directed by him.
Liu Huaqiang, played by Sun Honglei in the play, is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And the starring casting of "National Action" is Huang Zhizhong and Zhang Yi.
These two are both strong old actors.
In this drama, Huang Zhizhong plays the male protagonist He Yanling.
Huang Zhizhong: Everyone must be familiar with it.
Hai Rui in "Ming Dynasty 1566" was portrayed by him vividly.
Later, he won the "Emperor of Vision" with a "Chinese Expeditionary Force".
The excellent acting skills he has shown over the years must have conquered everyone.
and Zhang Yi, who plays the villain Xu Wangdong in this TV series.
Zhang Yi's acting skills need not be said.
These two characters were created by Zhang Yi with flesh and blood, and I believe everyone has a bottom about his acting skills.
In this drama, Zhang Yi plays the role of a villain that he rarely comes into contact with.
This also made the audience expect more from him, and wanted to see if he could play the villain well.
The rest of Yu Hewei, Cao Weiyu, and He Ping are also strong old actors.
Even some less important supporting roles, the director is carefully selected.
All of them are very powerful actors.
Such a luxurious lineup, coupled with the fact that it is an anti-corruption drama produced by CCTV.
This is simply a stack of buffs, and everyone is looking forward to it as soon as it is announced.
Unexpectedly, there was an accident when it came to the broadcast.
Twists and turns
At that time, in the face of enthusiastic audiences, CCTV did not sell off.
directly announced that "National Action" will be set on January 10, 2017, a set of prime files on CCTV.
At that time, both the crew and the audience were waiting for him to start broadcasting in front of the TV.
Unexpectedly, before the broadcast, CCTV suddenly announced the withdrawal.
This sudden withdrawal blinded everyone.
It wasn't until three months later that the crew held a progress report meeting in Beijing.
In the briefing, the crew said that "National Action" is currently being reshot and post-production.
If there are no accidents, we will be able to meet you soon.
The flags are all set, as if it doesn't seem to be a good fit if there is no accident.
There is no way of knowing what happened in the middle, anyway, it suddenly disappeared.
After that, there was no news.
It wasn't until April 2020 that the crew announced that "National Action" had been produced.
The number of episodes was changed to 38, and the distribution license was obtained.
It didn't take long for CCTV to announce that this drama would take over "Flowers and Leaves" and broadcast it on the prime time of CCTV.
After waiting for several years, I can finally see this drama.
Unexpectedly, in just two days, this drama was withdrawn by CCTV again.
And until now, there has been no news of it.
It is said that good things are grinding, but the tribulations of this drama have been experienced, that is, how did they directly grind out in the end.
At that time, it was rumored on the Internet that "National Action" was withdrawn because the scale was too large.
After the first withdrawal, the crew revised it again and deleted some large-scale plots, which was changed to 38 episodes.
But even so, this drama still failed to meet everyone in the end.
So how big is the scale of this drama, and it didn't even be released after it was deleted.
The scale is too large
The plot of "National Action" is based on real events.
And the prototype of the story is the Sichuan Liu Han case that year.
Everyone must have heard of this case, and it was a sensation across the country at the time.
Liu Han's Hanlong Group used various illegal methods to make a lot of money.
It has also been involved in a number of criminal incidents.
But for so many years, Liu Han has been safe and sound.
The reason is that he used money to make friends with officials on a large scale, and even had close ties with some high-ranking political and legal officials.
Liu Han would not only often give them money and belongings, but would even invite a few people to come to his own place to smoke contraband.
In addition, Liu Han helped these high-ranking officials to be promoted.
And the high-ranking officials became Liu Han's protective umbrella, and even provided him with weapons and ammunition.
And the story told in "National Action" is also based on this big case.
The story begins with the Mianyang 1.10 case, which has lasted for four years but still has no result.
So He Yanling took the detection team to secretly investigate.
It turned out that there was a local criminal group engaged in illegal actions, and the first offender, Liu Tang, did all kinds of evil.
But local officials turned a blind eye to him.
After investigation, it was found that Liu Tang's network of connections was ubiquitous, and many local officials acted as a protective umbrella for him.
It is no wonder that criminal organizations can be so arrogant.
The central government was shocked when it learned the news and said that it would go all out to crack down on gangsters.
No matter how big the opponent's umbrella is, you must catch them all.
Subsequently, represented by He Yanling, a special task force was organized to crack down on organized crime and anti-corruption.
During the crackdown of the task force, Liu Tang also learned the news through the protective umbrella.
All means were then used to murder witnesses and those in the know.
During this period, the deputy director of the local public security bureau also acted as an accomplice for him.
And use his vast network of connections to stop the task force.
However, fortunately, the task force withstood the pressure and finally wiped out the criminal organization.
Although we haven't seen the original film, we can't understand how big the scale of the play is.
However, through the story of Liu Han, the prototype of the story, we can also get a glimpse of one or two.
epilogue
I have to say that this drama is really full of sincerity.
I also really want to show the topic of punishing corruption in front of the audience.
It's a pity that in the end, this drama still failed to be launched, which is really unsettling.
