Recently, the police and gangster drama "Police Notes: The Crime of Desire" directed by Moo Long has sparked discussions among many people online.
Everyone's focus must be inseparable from director Mu Long's previous achievements. He has directed works such as "Fuxi Nuwa", "Golden Bohu", "Imperial City Eagle", "After a Late Annoyance", "Cannot Escape", "At Home and Outside", "Life and Death Moment", "Scalpel", "New Four Famous Catchers", "Iron Fist Action", "The Western Mountain Suppression of Bandits", "The Campus Lei Feng Class", "The Reality of the New Criminal Police", "Leaping Hell", "Secret Case Chase", "The Four Young Masters of Longmen", "Lady Xian's Great Spirit", "The Night Patrol", "The Woman in the Back Mountain", "Young Hero Huang Feihong", "Oolong Love", "The Painting Saint: Hell Disguised", "Skinned Fish", "The Bomb", "The Magic Hand Catching the Pretty Beauty", "The Scholar of the People", "Fat Sister Takes the Command", "The Fat Sister's Command", "Cannot Escape", "The People's Choice". Among them, the ratings of "Dark Battle" not only won the first place in the TV series, but also won the Best Director and Best Screenwriter in the Second Sino-US International Television Festival in Los Angeles for this drama. In addition, he has won the Best Rating Award and the "Five One" Project Award for many works.
In fact, Mu Long not only achieved remarkable results in the field of TV dramas, his movie "Night Tour" was also shortlisted for the 35th Hundred Flowers Awards Tour.
It is precisely because of this that his previous filming of "Police Notes: The Crime of Desire" has attracted such high attention, and everyone is also concerned about the starring actor An Zehao of the film.
An Zehao also has many representative works, such as "Home and Outside", "New Four Famous Captains", "The Central Plains Bandit Suppression", "Secret War", "Scalpel", "Iron Fist Action", "People's Choice", "The Reality of the New Criminal Police", etc. Moreover, this film is not only another collaboration between him and director Mu Long, but also coincidentally, he will work with actor Zhang Mingjian who worked fifteen years ago to perform the comrades-in-arms on the battlefield of the Vietnam War.
Fifteen years ago, Zhang Mingjian collaborated with An Zehao in a period drama "The Bathroom Hall". At that time, An Zehao was the anti-number of that drama, and Zhang Mingjian played the ex-husband of the female lead. He only had two episodes and was "finished" after only two episodes. After they separated, the two did not have much contact. This time, they were able to meet again in "Police Notes: The Crime of Desire". Zhang Mingjian felt that it was fate and also God's will. He also "predicted" that after the show was broadcast, everyone would arrange a "comrade-in-arms group" for them, which would make him optimistic about the prospects of the show.
The reason why Zhang Mingjian took on this drama is dated back to two years ago, when he met Director Mu Long through the introduction of a friend.
After more than a year ago, director Mu Long mentioned "The Crime of Desire" to Zhang Mingjian. After reading the book, Zhang Mingjian was attracted by the characters in it and decided to join the play. Finally, after the two discussed, the role was settled.
Zhang Mingjian mentioned that his past works, whether they are Bai Xiaosheng in "Little Li's Flying Knife", Zhang Tang in "The Emperor of Han" (also called "Zhang Gu"), or Di Renjie in "The Supreme Beauty", are all the temperaments of young idols, because at that time I was in my 20s and was in the stage of pursuing young idols. Now more than 20 years have passed, and as I grow older, my condition is also different from that time.
After he was 45 years old, he gradually wanted to shoot something that returned to his authenticity, unlike before, which was handsome and performed some exaggerated performances.
He valued that Director Mu Long's inner self and his own needs were particularly consistent, and they both pursue expressions from the inside out, and these were also important driving forces to promote their cooperation.
