China News Online, December 12 (Reporter Xu Yin) The suspenseful criminal investigation drama “Also Ordinary”, which is produced by Gao Qunshu, directed by Han Bowen and starred by Zheng Kai, Zhang Guoli, Lin Feng, and Chong Danni, is currently being broadcast on Dragon TV. Zheng Kai not only served as the producer of the play, but also played the role of the hot-blooded detective Ji Fan in the play. “I want to show you the image of criminal police in the new era by shaping Ji Fan,” Zheng Kai said in an interview with reporters recently.
“Also Ordinary” The play begins with a bizarre “Subway Homicide” and tells a story about breaking the game and making a decision. As the characters uncover the truth of the serial murder case, an old case 27 years ago has also been unveiled. Well-dressed, stylish hair, humorous conversation… The detective played by Zheng Kai in the play is a highly educated professional elite. Zheng Kai said frankly that at the beginning of the creation of “Also Ordinary”, the main creator discussed the screen image of criminal police with experts from the Ministry of Public Security: “Many of the criminals in the audience’s impression are raunchy, unshaven, and always wearing a leather jacket, but the new era The criminal police are indeed different.” Zheng Kai’s investigation found that many young criminal police officers are both tall and handsome, professional and academic, and the conditions at home are not bad. Therefore, he wants to bring the image of criminal police in the new era by shaping Ji Fan.

Ji Fan in the play can be regarded as a genius criminal police officer, very good at psychological profiling of criminal suspects. Zheng Kai said that at the stage of script creation, the main creator also discussed the necessary qualities of criminal police with experts from the Ministry of Public Security. The actors also have to do a lot of preparatory work: “In addition to psychological profiling skills, we also need to train fighting skills, firearms, etc. .”
In addition, the emotional presentation of father-son love and brotherhood in the drama “Also Ordinary” also left a deep impression on Zheng Kai. He pointed out: “Ji Fan’s biggest psychological contradiction is to fall into the choice between justice and family affection.” However, Zheng Kai also said: “The audience is not necessarily seeing the truth. There are anti-routine plots in the play. Don’t worry. Conclusion, follow along, it will surprise everyone.”
Talking about the creative concept, Zheng Kai introduced that “Also Ordinary” was originally called “Mask”, which means that the villain also has two sides. Everyone wears a “mask”: “Mr. Zhang Guoli and Lin Feng seldom play the role of villain, this time The subversive performance of the audience made the audience very enjoyable. They performed the characteristics of both good and evil characters.”
“Also Ordinary” is another collaboration between Zheng Kai and Zhang Guoli after “Long Time No See”. Zheng Kai said: “The second time I played the son of Teacher Guoli, I was very familiar and comfortable.” At the same time, he also said that Lin Feng and Lu Liang, who played Xiao Jianguo, were his friends. “I am very lucky to be able to invite them to help out. “.
The live props and murder scenes in the play are very realistic. Zheng Kai lamented that this is exactly the product of the industrialization of film and television: “It is also the first time that I have seen so many realistic props on the set. The first episode was torn off by Lin Feng. The face of’Yongshu’ was also specially made by the special effects makeup department.”
Talking about the feeling of identity conversion in “Ordinary”, Zheng Kai frankly said that he has more to worry about: “The main task of being an actor is to create a good character; as a producer, he is responsible for the normal operation of the crew, including budget expenditures and scenes. Design, art construction, etc., cooperate with the director to achieve the best visual presentation of the play.”
“I hope that there will be more new challenges in various fields in the future,” Zheng Kai said. (Finish)
