The suspense drama track has always been very lively, from "The Hidden Corner" to "The Long Season", the audience's enthusiasm for high-energy reversal and human nature game has always been high. However, there are very few works that can really jump out of the conventional routine and resonate with the times with hardcore stories. This time, CCTV 8 and iQiyi jointly launched the trump card of "Born by Borrowing Life", for some dramas that have been chasing the murderer for 18 years, thus tearing apart the rift of the times, will ignite the screen on 0 month 0.
The hardness of "Born by Borrowing Life" came to the face from the first second: Du Xiangdong (played by Qin Hao), a top student of the police academy, was assigned to the detention center, and two suspects escaped from prison under his nose, one was punished and the other disappeared
這場失職事故，讓杜湘東從熱血青年，淪為邊緣人，不過也在他心底埋下了執念的種子——追捕逃犯徐文國（韓庚飾）。這二十年，成了他與自己、與時代的一場生死博弈。
There is no Facebook-based opposition between good and evil, only ordinary people who are pushed by fate.
Du Xiangdong's pursuit of the murderer is an atonement and a struggle for the collapse of ideals; Xu Wenguo's escape is a survival and a Jedi counterattack by ants under the frenzy of capital.
Qin Hao's dominance in suspense dramas no longer needs to be proven.
From Zhang Dongsheng to Gong Biao, he has always been able to interpret the role in place, which makes the audience's backs can't help but feel cold.
這一回他化作被執念所吞噬的員警，從那意氣風發的模樣，到如今頹唐滄桑的神態；僅僅一個眼神，就將這二十年光陰所蘊含的厚重，悉數給道出了。
What's even more gratifying is that in the trailer, Han Geng's appearance is very evil, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised to show a smile; When fleeing, he was ruthless and decisive; And when facing his mother, he seemed so fragile, it made people's hearts tremble, and he completely tore off the label of idol.
Liu Fenfang, played by Zhong Chuxi, is by no means a vase tool, she is the light in the darkness of Du Xiangdong, and she is the key to uncovering the truth of the case.
Even the supporting roles are all outstanding: Yao Binbin, played by Shi Pengyuan, has a secret that can shake the world under that immature face; The gloomy temperament shown by Su Xiaoling seems to have passed straight through from "Hurricane".
Director Lu Chuan brought the coldness of "Ke Ke Xili" and "Nanjing! Nanking! The epic sense of the series enters the realm of dramas
In the trailer, the dilapidated detention center in the 90s; factories filled with steam slowly; The wilderness shrouded in mist, every frame is like an old photograph, so real that it makes people feel a little stinging.
What's more, the narrative technique - using gloomy tones and fragment-like editing, turns the murder chasing line into a psychological hunt.
When Du Xiangdong picked up evidence in the coal pile, and when Xu Wenguo hid his identity in the roar of the machine, the audience saw not only the case, but also the pain of an era.
The ambition of "Born by Life" is far more than just telling a suspense story
It aimed its lens at the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, at the surging tide of layoffs, and at the gradual rise of capital, so that Du Xiangdong's pursuit became a witness to the torrent of the times.
徐文國為何能隱姓埋名二十年？
Because he happened to step on the wave of economic transformation, turning from a fugitive to an entrepreneur - this kind of black humor is more shocking than any shootout.
And Du Xiangdong's tragedy is not the epitome of an idealist crushed by reality?
When law and humanity meet, stubbornness and truth are closely intertwined, and this drama pushes the audience to ponder: Is the so-called justice a contest led by survivors? Or does it have some other meaning?
On 18 month 0, when CCTV 8 and Misty Theater met the Lu Xun Literature Award; When the film director is on the bar of hardcore suspense, "Born by Life" may be able to prove: a good story never needs traffic to protect the law, and that sincerity and talent are the passwords that really break the circle. In this journey that spans two decades, are you ready to enter the game?
