Starring Ren Suxi, Wang Xiao, Cai Wenjing, Li Zefeng, etc., the play uses a small town mystery as a guide to weave a web of fate. It not only outlines the picture of the life-and-death struggle between grassroots police and drug dealers, adhering to their beliefs, and punishing crimes, but also depicts the ordinary people struggling to survive under the torrent of fate.
On the eve of the premiere, "Extermination of Evil" released character posters. The four-person portrait poster uses a unique oil painting style, placing the characters between a rushing river full of hallucinogens in the foreground and a brilliant sunset in the distance. The rich colors and strong contrast between light and dark highlight the multiplicity of the characters' images, as well as the choices they face between desire and the right path.
The final trailer fully demonstrates the narrative style and content characteristics of "Evil", starting with three "soul questions": "Have you seen this person nearby?" "What are you afraid of?" and "How does it feel to be shot?", quickly exaggerating the rigorous dedication of anti-drug police officers, the helplessness of ordinary citizens, and the desperate measures of drug traffickers.
In the play, a sudden confrontation between police and criminals broke the peaceful daily routine of the town and changed the fate of everyone present. As a criminal police officer, Hu Wenjing (played by Ren Suxi) is caught in the tangle of discovering that a friend of many years may be involved in a drug trafficking case; Cheng Ken (played by Wang Xiao) is deeply frightened and entangled because of being involved in the drug trafficking vortex, but involuntarily gets deeper and deeper; the originally glamorous and respectable Li Xiaoya (played by Cai Wenjing) also reveals her " "Believe it or not, I can make you disappear tonight" fangs… Along with a series of high-energy scenes of fights, chases, and gun battles, policewoman Hu Wenjing raised the expectations of the series to the top with her vow, "I will definitely catch these drug addicts and drug dealers in Nuanfeng County one by one."
As an innovative work in the human crime track, "Extermination of Evil" extends the perspective from the contest between "crime" and "solving crimes" to an in-depth exploration of the inner world of the characters, giving complexity and multi-facetedness to well-known typical characters such as police, criminals and victims: Hu Wenjing, as a criminal police officer, adheres to her vocation in her job. As a mother, she has the softest concern for her children in her heart. Cheng Ken couldn't bear the burden of life and entered a desperate situation. His choice included helplessness and struggle, as well as obsession under hardship; Li Xiaoya looked gentle and gentle on the outside, but was unfathomable in her heart, hiding a huge energy that was unwilling to accept fate and mediocrity. When these characters come together in the same narrative, the bonds of emotion and interest between them form multiple depths.
