The official release trailer and group portrait posters have been simultaneously released recently. The series will be narrated with a small town mystery case, showing the perseverance of law enforcement and the struggles of ordinary people in human crimes, and deeply exploring the topic of the boundary between good and evil to the audience, which is thought-provoking.
The suspicions in the small town reflect complex human nature, and the diverse group portraits present the confrontation between good and evil.
"Eliminate Evil" tells the story of the intricate acquaintance society in the coastal town of Nuanhai Town, which was broken by a bag of drugs that disappeared inexplicably, and a "suicide crime" officially kicked off. Hu Wenjing (played by Ren Suxi), a female detective who is accidentally involved in a drug deal; Cheng Ken (played by Wang Xiao), an ordinary father who wants to save his daughter at any cost; Li Xiaoya (played by Cai Wenjing), an ambitious careerist who wants to escape from small town life; Wang Ping (played by Dong Qing), who is swallowed by drugs and has gone astray; how will the three best friends stage the ultimate tug of friendship and destiny? What kind of storm will the secretive Cheng Xiaodong (played by Li Zefeng) and the ruthless Ding Lai (played by Ye Zuxin) stir up? When the cocoon woven by desire and greed tightly traps everyone, who can truly escape from this battle between justice and humanity?
The trailer for this time starts with the sentence "Do you believe in fate" and asks the soul. The late night corpse burial, ceiling secrets and corridor fights culminate in silent climaxes, allowing the audience to glimpse the evil undercurrent hidden deep in the town. The mirror image confrontation between righteousness and evil between Hu Wenjing, who is searching for the truth, and Cheng Kencheng, who is gradually falling into the abyss, indicates that a game of human nature is quietly going on. As new hallucinogens flow into the town in the form of drinks and candies that are common in daily life, various complex criminal groups emerge one by one. Lucky graduate students, those who preach success, and speculators who want to take shortcuts. A series of immersive documentary shots interweave and capture the shadow of human nature. In the anti-drug war that is advancing at every level, how does every little person survive and make choices? The process from being eroded by drugs to going to murder is horrifying to think about, and the line "Who said drugs must be sold to drug addicts" at the end also leaves room for imagination that is horrifying to think about.
The eight portrait posters released simultaneously show the characters in a striking micro composition, with a shocking style. The poster uses a drug bag as the background and contains characters with different expressions. The intricate positioning clearly reveals the network of acquaintances in the small town where anti-drug and drug trafficking overlap. In the center of the picture, Hu Wenjing's cold, gun-holding gaze reveals determination to get to the bottom of the investigation; Cheng Ken holds pills in his mouth with a calm demeanor, and his simple appearance reveals the madness and helplessness heading towards the abyss; the other characters either stare at temptation, eyes full of desire, or have firm eyes, scrutinizing and contemplating, making this diverse group portrait of the confrontation between good and evil full of story suspense. A drug network is secretly woven in the border town. Although everyone who falls into the abyss of crime has a heart crushed by life, there are complicated motives behind it.
Behind the confrontation between good and evil lies the shocking nature of human crimes, and the vivid and three-dimensional demeanor of the characters also clearly reveals the network of acquaintances in the small town where anti-drug and drug trafficking are intertwined. What kind of ups and downs will unfold in this small town human crime with "the devil is around" is exciting.
The gold medal team builds a solid foundation of quality, and multi-line narrative depicts the overall picture of anti-drugs
An excellent work is inseparable from the ingenuity of the behind-the-scenes team. Liu Wenyang, who has created phenomenal hit dramas such as "The Son-in-law" and "Everyday Life", is the chief producer, and the famous director Teng Huatao, who has directed "Snail House" and "City Within the City", is in charge. A number of masterpieces of realism, which are extremely good at describing the complexity of human nature and observing social expressions; written by Nie Chengshuai, a new generation of powerful screenwriter of "The Basics of Genius", his strong plot and strong logical expression techniques will bring the ultimate immersive experience to the multi-line narrative in the story. The cast adds to the dramatic tension of the characters. Hu Wenjing, played by Ren Suxi, is both a low-level criminal police officer and a single mother. How she balances the challenges from family, workplace and social rules during the anti-drug process has become a major attraction. Cheng Ken, played by Wang Xiao, is curious about how she delicately interprets the character's inner hesitation and struggle and shows the gray areas of human nature when her daughter falls into the abyss of crime. In addition, the addition of acting actors such as Cai Wenjing, Li Zefeng, Wang Youjun, Dong Qing, and Ye Zuxin has given each character a distinctive symbol that is flesh-and-blood and non-facial. I believe that this "strong alliance" behind the scenes team will jointly enhance the quality of the story of "Extermination of Evil".
"When greed arises in a moment, thousands of sins arise." "Eliminating Evil" will take the investigation of the case as the creative theme, and use multi-line narrative techniques to show the police pursuit of the case represented by Hu Wenjing and Jin Longzheng (played by Wang Youjun), and the ordinary people represented by Cheng Ken, Li Xiaoya, and Wang Ping who were pushed into the abyss by fate. Multiple group images are intertwined to form a full picture of human crimes, revealing the struggle of human nature under the dilemma of desire. The play abandons suspended criminal narratives and uses calm, objective yet warm daily expressions to show the damage that drug networks have done to ordinary families and interpersonal relationships. The creative team uses a perspective close to public life to polish the anti-drug story into a crime story that directly touches human nature, with both realistic concerns and social significance. The different choices of each character in the play on the edge of good and evil also let people see behind this small town ecological picture, the lofty spirit of grassroots police officers who adhere to their duties and missions and are not afraid of sacrifice. They break through the single perspective of traditional criminal investigation dramas and use diverse expressions to explore the new value of crime themes.
When the battle between good and evil in a small town quietly begins, how will people on the edge of good and evil find a way out? How will this anti-drug game about human crimes unfold? The human crime drama "Extermination of Evil" will be launched at the iQiyi Mist Theater on February 23. We look forward to seeing you in Nuanhai Town.
