The suspense drama "The Truth" on the theme of procuratorial technology is currently being broadcast. The series tells the story of the procuratorial technicians represented by Lin Yuanhao (played by Chen Xingxu) and Lin Lan (played by Gai Yuexi), using advanced technical means such as big data modeling, biological detection comparison, and lie detection to help prosecutors break through "zero confessions" and difficult cases, and provide key evidence for the case. Talking about the difference between other suspense dramas and other suspense dramas that "finally deduce who the murderer is through clues", Li Zhao frankly said that the procuratorial technicians in "The Truth" do not have the concept of "handling cases", they are specific to a certain work, thinking about whether there is evidence, the evidence is not exhaustive, sufficient and insufficient. "They're doing things like research, and as for what the case is, they're very rigorous and don't infer anything from the evidence."
Lin Yuanhao, played by Chen Xingxu, has an introverted personality.
Creation: The structure of the whole play "big set small"
In the plot broadcast in the first week, the procuratorial technicians represented by Lin Yuanhao and Lin Lan assisted the public security organs in cracking a triple reversal of domestic violence mutilation case with high-precision instruments and superb technology. When the suspect was arrested, the crowd found a national treasure porcelain vase that had been missing for many years, and although it was identified as a fake, it also gave new clues to the disappearance of the national treasure many years ago. The story line from the initial wife murder case led to the smuggling of national treasures, with a unit case pulled out of a large net, Li Zhao said that in the early stage of creation, the structure of the whole drama was determined "big set small", a main line to intersperse the unit nature of the case, but what kind of unit case inserted, to do a screening and strict design. "The selection of each unit case is actually strongly related to the main line. It is equivalent to peeling away the cocoon layer by layer, and finally approaching the biggest boss on the throne. ”
In addition to telling the growth story of the protagonists Lin Yuanhao and Lin Lan, who are procuratorial technicians, the play also depicts a group of colleagues with "special skills" in the judicial identification center, in which they use their expertise to show their skills, find clues in the case, piece together the truth behind the case little by little, and safeguard the dignity of the law. According to Li Zhao, many of the cases in the play have prototypes, and some of them are cases that were given by procuratorial technicians in the style before filming, "We will change and expand the cases, or several pinched together to become a new case." "The Truth" is guided by the Second Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (Major Crime Procuratorate) and the Procuratorial Technology Information Research Center of the Supreme People's Procuratorate from the stage of script creation, and through the plot, you can not only see high-energy cases, but also glimpse the decisive role played by procuratorial technologies such as trace detection, electronic data technology, judicial psychology, and audio-visual technology in case handling. Li Zhao said that in each unit case, in addition to the main plot and characters, as much as possible, the different specialties of procuratorial technicians will be displayed, such as psychological lie detector testing, video research, forensics, etc.
The performance of "The Truth" focuses on the search for and preservation of evidence.
Characters: The hero and heroine are like brotherhood friendships
Chen Xingxu and Gai Yuexi play Lin Yuanhao and Lin Lan in the play, and the two are a roommate and career partner. Lin Yuanhao was upright and brave but somewhat impulsive, and was transferred from his original post for some reason; Lin Lansa was direct but acted recklessly and emotionally, and the two had their own problems at the same time. In the work, lin yuanhao and Lin Lan's colleague friendship is also very touching. When they first met, Lin Yuanhao and Lin Lan still had some mutual disagreements, but Lin Yuanhao's excellent business ability in the corpse case immediately gained Lin Lan's recognition. "Accidental cohabitation" not only did not open the old-fashioned love line, but opened up another place to "engage in career", which became an opportunity for the two to discuss work anytime and anywhere. Such a plot also made many viewers call the "professionalism" of this drama too heavy, and it is an "excessively pure professional drama".
Li Zhao frankly said that when creating, the emotional setting of the male and female protagonists, at the beginning of the decision not to write two people in love together, if it is deliberately to let them have a sweet love, it will affect the main line plot to advance, the tone of the whole story is not suitable for writing the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists. "Two people are just like brotherhood, but it's actually quite good."
Subject: Reasoning in "The Truth" is not important
Suspense-themed works have been very popular in the past two years, and major platforms have successively launched suspense dramas with different styles. In Li Zhao's view, the biggest feature that distinguishes "The Truth" from other suspense dramas is that the charm of traditional suspense dramas or detective genre works mainly lies in reasoning, for example, the most wonderful thing about Holmes is that the protagonist relies on ingenuity to integrate a lot of seemingly scattered clues together to further discover the truth behind it. "But 'The Truth' is reversed, and reasoning doesn't matter. Because the drama shows procuratorial technicians, their core work feature is to use technology to speak, to see evidence that others can't see. "Li Zhao said that the focus of the creation of "Truth" is how to find evidence in places where there seems to be no evidence, how to preserve evidence, and how to get the evidence in hand before the criminal suspect wants to destroy it." When we were interviewed, we heard about the cases that were looking for evidence, which were actually suspense dramas. The part that makes people feel thrilled is not only reasoning, but also finding evidence is a very different angle, and it is also evidence that runs through the whole play of "Truth". ”
Li Zhao mentioned that in a real case obtained during the collection of style, there was a prosecutor who did electronic evidence, who handled a fraud case, because of the lack of witness testimony and actual evidence, it could have been sentenced to 20 to 30 years, but the existing evidence could be sentenced to two or three years at most. The suspect's computer actually has a large number of transfer records and transaction details, but he forcibly said that he does not remember the boot password. The prosecutor who made the electronic evidence tried to crack the password, and finally thought of a date that was very important for the suspect, and he could use the password to turn on the computer. When the prosecutor studied the state of the suspect, he suspected that he might be the person who used the same password to the end, so he tried all the chat software QQ and WeChat of the suspect with this password, and directly opened these software, which is equivalent to quickly finding supplementary evidence.
"The Truth" represents procuratorial technicians who "speak by technology."
Details: Differences in the cars of male and female protagonists
In the process of watching the play, some netizens found that there is a big difference between the types of cars lin yuanhao and Lin Lan, Lin Yuanhao drives a dilapidated car, and Lin Lan, who is a girl, is riding a handsome motorcycle, and this picture in the same frame is a little inexplicably funny.
Li Zhao said that Lin Yuanhao's personality is obscure and very introverted, so he deliberately designed to let him drive a small broken car, which is very unobtrusive. And Lin Yuanhao was punished because of his impulsiveness, in fact, he felt regret, self-blame and self-examination in his heart, so he has been driving a small broken car, and the small broken car is a symbol that reflects his heart.
Lin Lan has a straightforward and sassy personality, and is a girl with relatively thick lines, so the design allows her to ride a large motorcycle. Regarding what Lin Lan's car is, the crew has designed a lot, such as wondering if it is possible for her to ride a shared bicycle every day, whether it is possible to ride a small electric bicycle, but later felt that she was not as handsome as riding a motorcycle. She is also a girl who is fast and fierce, and she can go wherever she wants, and it is quite suitable for riding a motorcycle.
