【BTS】A lot of work goes into a good drama!💪🔥| In The Name Of Justice | YOUKU
[Director: Fu Dongyu]
This series is intense. [Fu Dongyu, Director]
It packs a punch. Court is now in session. Of all the workplace drama types, [Director: Fu Dongyu]
this one really speaks to me. [Behind the Scenes:
Interview with Director Fu Dongyu] [Director: Fu Dongyu]
A and B units shot a total of 180 days. [A and B units shot a total of 180 days]
Thirty-six episodes, [Averaged 5 days to film each episode]
five days per episode. [Director: Fu Dongyu]
Why? Because we fine-tuned everything. [Polishing the script] [Dun Qi Executive Producer]
We spent two, maybe three years, [Executive Producer: Dun Qi]
just refining the script. The directing team kept workshopping and reinventing. The investigative methods. During the shooting, [Cast: Zhang Yi]
I did scenes with Director Fu, who acted as my partner. [Zhang Yi as Hong Liang]
He felt like a mentor and a friend. We were working well together. Do you admit it or not? I missed! I lost count! I lost count just that once! [Li Guangjie as Li Renjun]
He focused not only on the plot [Cast: Li Guangjie]
but also on the emotional core of each character. Have cameras rolling as actors build up to an emotional moment. When you see it in the edit, it’s powerful stuff. [Developing the characters] [Jiang Xin as Zheng Yaping]
He steps into each actor’s shoes, [Cast: Jiang Xin]
helping them fine-tune their lines and performances. These are all about the characters. Breathe faster, shout with everything you’ve got! I don’t even know if Qiao is really the one buried here! The scene’s written
from one perspective, [Fu Dongyu Director]
I’ll ask, “Can we try it from someone else’s?” Think and speak at the same time. Take your time. He will react. [Director: Fu Dongyu]
There’s space for actors to play off each other. When all goes right, it sparks real chemistry. That’s it, ok! [Ready. Action. Cut] [This line is now
on record] [That’s the one] [Nailing the details] [Director: Fu Dongyu]
If someone says the cinematography, the set design, or just one actor stands out, honestly, that’s not a compliment for the whole production. [Director: Fu Dongyu]
Scouting and securing locations. We’re checking if the image works. [Feng Jiayi as Xu Yanwu]
If he believes in something, he’ll never compromise. One, two, again. OK, that’s it! Good job. [Shi An as Qiao Zhenxing]
He’s always in meetings, [Cast: Shi An]
working on scripts, communicating every shot
to every department. There’s a purpose behind every shot. [Dong Qing as Zhang Wenjing]
I think he’s a director [Cast: Dong Qing]
with tons of creativity and energy. Wan Hai is not a gangster. Lighten up, come on! We got too many lines here. It looks great! [Local]
This location works. [Local]
They got the mountains they wanted. [Cast: Li Guangjie]
He wants to look at the mountain from the top, and see every single flower
that grows on it. That’s what makes a scene great. We never go for cheap emotional tricks. [Li Guangjie as Li Renjun]
Every rock, every path matters. [Gao Jinxi Executive Producer]
We spent almost four years in total [Executive Producer: Gao Jinxi]
working on this project. [Director: Fu Dongyu]
Three years for one series— that’s a big achievement for a director. [I’ve given my all] [In the Name of Justice]
