"Prosecutorial Situation" is adapted from real cases, telling the story of university professor Xia Wei (played by Wang Likun) involved in a bizarre murder case, and prosecutor Li Rui (played by Huang Jingyu) was ordered to investigate the truth of the murder case, and the mysterious old case was involved in countless clues. A story that makes the truth of the murder even more confusing. The plots are intertwined, starting from a rape case caused by campus loans, layers of mysteries are drawn out, not only the collusion between government and businessmen, illegal black loans, violent rape, intentional homicide and other crimes are combined and connected, but also the plot of each character The choice of positions and the fetters of the fate of each small family are used as prying points, showing the thinking and choices of each character in the story in the face of crime and desire, justice and law.
The premiere featured "Dare to shoot and act". Director Mak Siu-fai talked deeply about the film's screen design ideas such as mirroring and framing from the perspective of production, fully retaining the audio-visual sensory impact of crime films, and also restoring many real investigation and handling details around the actual work of the procuratorate. "I have never filmed the subject of mainland prosecutors. The screenwriter Zhao Peng this time is a prosecutor himself. After getting in touch with him, I think this time I should also film the emotional life of the prosecutors."
Producer Tian Qiwen introduced in his speech, "(Mainland) prosecutors are basically not accessible to us Hong Kong filmmakers. During the entire creation process, everyone first understands this group of people through the script. We hope this time Film a little more about the life of a prosecutor instead of preaching a little more."
Zhao Peng, the screenwriter of "Prosecutorial Wind and Cloud", has been engaged in procuratorial work for 20 years. "Over the years, I have handled thousands of cases and entered the court hundreds of times. Whenever I prosecute on behalf of the country in court, the honor Feelings will arise spontaneously. I want to write down the stories I have experienced so that more audiences can understand the procuratorial work and how it differs from judges and police (jobs). It is also one of my responsibilities to implement the accountability system for state organs to popularize the law.”
Huang Jingyu as Prosecutor Li Rui
At the premiere, Huang Jingyu said with a smile, "The screenwriter writes the script, the director sets the scene, and I'll actually act it. In fact, if we dare to act, we have to say Bao Beier (playing the unscrupulous villain in the film). The acting is also on the side of justice, and this time he is really willing to fight." For the young prosecutor who can play the role in the film, Huang Jingyu believes that by understanding the nature of the prosecutor's work, he can feel more at ease in his daily life. "No matter how long the case is, they will investigate it to the end. I played a very secure person, and (this role) also made me feel more secure."
Wang Likun as Xia Wei, a university teacher
In Wang Likun's eyes, Xia Wei in the film is a brave teacher. "On the surface, she is an intellectually weak university professor. When she learns that her students have been insulted and suffered unfair injustice, she dares to stand up and ask for justice. In fact, each of us is very concerned about our own Teachers have a special memory, their love and sense of responsibility will give students a sense of security and illuminate the darkness for us."
Statistics show that in the past five years, procuratorial organs across the country have handled a total of 17.336 million cases of various types, and they have fully practiced the supremacy of the people in various cases such as civil cases, criminal cases, administrative cases, and public interest litigation cases. The responsibility for legal supervision endowed by the Constitution and laws reflects the institutional advantages of the socialist procuratorial system with Chinese characteristics. From this, it can be said that "Prosecutors" is not only a film that dares to shoot, act, and say no to various criminal acts, and has the significance of legal education, but also a film that embodies the work of China's procuratorial organs.
