The transnational anti-overseas crime drama "Criminal Police Overseas Action", directed by the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, will land on Beijing Satellite TV from February 13. Directed by the famous directors Yu Chun and Lü Zibo, the drama brings together Wu Gang, Ke Lan, Ren Dahua, Yu Feihong, Ning Li, Shi Liang, Zeng Jiang, Lin Xue, Zhao Jun, Wu Guohua, Qi Jiuzhou, Ma Yinyin, Wang Yu and many other powerful actors, telling the story of the overseas action working group composed of criminal police represented by Gao Xiaotian (played by Wu Gang) to carry out multinational law enforcement cooperation, wrestle wits and courage with foreign forces, and finally crack many cross-border cases and protect the safety of overseas Chinese compatriots' lives and property. It is worth mentioning that in "Icebreaker Action", the tacit understanding and friendship between informant Zhao Jialiang (Ren Dahua) and police officer Li Weimin (Wu Gang) has moved countless audiences, and this time in "Criminal Police Overseas Action", the two changed their previous "brotherhood" and staged a peak showdown of "hunter and wolf".
"A Thousand Faces" Wu Gang Incarnated as the Director of The Criminal Investigation Bureau Performed a plain performance to show the style of the criminal police
"In the Name of the People", "Icebreaking Action", "Qingyu Nian", "Detective Ke Chen"... From Secretary Dakang, who is diligent and thrifty, to Li Weimin, deputy director of the Narcotics Control Bureau who does not smile, from the gloomy and unpredictable dean Chen Pingping to the scheming police chief Sun Mantang, spanning ancient and modern times, whether good or evil, Wu Gang can always use "face-changing acting skills" to give characters extremely strong dramatic tension and multiple levels in an extremely limited space for play. Participating in "Criminal Police's Overseas Action" this time, as soon as possible, the character identity is similar to Li Weimin, but the tense and brain-burning casting layout of the story, the thrilling police and bandit competition, and the sincerity of the film side still deeply touched Wu Gang. "This is too close to 'Icebreaker Action', originally I was hesitant, but the sincerity and persistence of the filmmakers really touched me. After more than three years of preparation, this play has seen many, many scenes, and they want to make a conscience drama from the bottom of their hearts, and they want to make a shocking and influential play. Especially after listening to those real cases, I really feel that our country is really strong, not only at home, including overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, their lives and safety, will try their best to protect, so I think it is worth playing this, to show the real style of the Chinese criminal police. ”
In the play, Wu Gang plays Gao Xiaotian, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, who is not only the backbone of the overseas action working group, but also a sharp blade inserted into the crime, able to keenly find the breakthrough and deeply understand the psychology of criminals. In order to achieve a better performance effect, before the filming began, Wu Gang had in-depth contact with the Chinese criminal police who participated in the operation, "listening to them tell us stories and cases, immersively telling us what kind of feeling they are at this moment and at that time, it is they who use language and stories to bring us into that environment, and we continue to shoot with such a trajectory every day." "The performance was attentive, the shooting was concentrated, and the filming was suspended as soon as possible because of the impact of the new crown epidemic, but after returning to work, Wu Gang still perfectly created an image of a righteous and awe-inspiring criminal police with absolute professionalism." Mr. Wu Gang's performance gives the play a temperament," the director praised. "I think Teacher Wu Gang is really very strong in grasping the tone, his understanding of the grass-roots life of the police in our country is very deep, he gave the whole working group a particularly plain temperament, and brought the tone of all the working group police to be particularly like ordinary people, rather than the kind of cool handsome or eighteen-like martial arts proficient people, which is particularly important for us to balance documentary and drama."
"Documentary style" reproduces the story of front-line criminal investigation
"Gangster entrenchment", "telecommunications fraud", "asset transfer"... Behind every social hotspot, there are countless crimes hidden, threatening the lives and property of countless overseas Chinese. "Overseas Actions of Criminal Police" extends the brushstrokes to "cross-border crimes", takes typical cases as the basis for creation, draws on typical cases of Chinese police cooperating with local police in law enforcement overseas, and focuses on current social hotspots such as "persuading important witnesses to return", "capturing telecommunications network fraud", "cracking down on criminal syndicates and evil forces", "international cooperation", "transnational crimes", "protecting the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese compatriots", etc., which reflects the professional spirit of China's criminal police officers who are resourceful, courageous, loyal and fearless. Ability and determination to strive to safeguard the interests and personal safety of Chinese people in the world.
In 2009, the urban emotional drama "Marvin's War" directed by Yu Chun was broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, and received rave reviews for its light and humorous tone and profound discussion of marriage and family issues, and won the "Special Award of the 3rd Tokyo International Television Drama Festival" and the "Best Actress Award of the 15th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award". Since then, Yu Chun has successively directed a series of urban light comedies such as "The War of the Old Cow Family", "The Spring of Li Spring", and "The Happy Life of Kintaro", showing a variety of life that is either realistic or cruel, or rough or warm in the midst of laughter and anger. In fact, Yu Chun, who has filmed criminal investigation dramas in the circle, has always had a natural obsession with criminal investigation dramas in his heart, and the characteristics of criminal investigation dramas "strong plot", "suspense" and "conflict" have attracted him to want to deepen his cultivation in this field, and the emergence of "Overseas Actions of Criminal Police" has undoubtedly become the best opportunity for him to return to his original intention. "I like the life related to the police, boys will like this kind of strong plot, conflict is relatively strong story, it is not like the family drama you can not distinguish who is good and who is bad, the black and white justice and evil of the criminal investigation drama is very clear, "Criminal Police Overseas Action" is like this, its framework structure is very clear, and the style and interests are very high, it is not just a case, but reflects the strength of the country in the new era, the enhancement of ability, including national courage and so on."
Based on the true story, "Overseas Actions of Criminal Police" connects the stories of cross-border law enforcement cooperation between overseas criminal investigation teams through three chapters: "Persuasion to Return", "Anti-Gang Chapter" and "Electric Fraud Chapter". The language barrier, unfamiliar environment, lack of law enforcement powers, difficult information dispatch, and unimaginable difficulty in handling cases across borders have become the primary goal of Yu Chun. "We basically take a style with a real sense of existence, partial documentary, I personally do not accept that kind of suspense drama, especially the story itself is an adaptation of the real case, the real characters, they have spent so much effort to handle the case, if the film is very floating, I am sorry for their work." 」 However, under the premise of ensuring authenticity, Yu Chun also uses external design as much as possible to expand the dramatic tension. "We have made innovations at the level of form and content, hoping that it can be a little clever, a little more painful, a little faster pace, and not drag mud and water." Including the film tone will be darker, and the content and atmosphere to fit, including the entire scene and the proportion of foreign shooting, are to try to restore the real atmosphere and character state at that time. ”
