Soon after the release of the movie version of "The Three Teams" starring Zhang Yi, when the box office exceeded 300 million, the online drama version of "The Three Teams" starring Qin Hao was launched online, and this phenomenon of film and television at the same time is actually rare in the film and television industry.
The movie version is more than two hours long, and the online drama version has twenty-four episodes, although the original script is "Please tell the director, the task of the three teams is completed", but the huge difference in length determines that the online drama version of "The Three Teams" must have a large adaptation in the plot.
1. The online drama version is adapted.
In the movie version of "The Three Teams" and the prototype story, the elder brother Wang Dayong was arrested and died, and the younger brother Wang Eryong absconded for many years, but the person who was arrested in the online drama version was changed to Wang Eryong, and the person who absconded became Wang Dayong.
Make a bold guess, this adaptation of the online drama version may be to "take care" of Chen Minghao who plays Wang Dayong, his image and temperament don't look like his younger brother, he can only play his brother Wang Dayong, then the plot will be changed to Wang Dayong absconding for a long time.
In the prototype story, the three teams were almost "wiped out" during the interrogation because of torture to extract confessions, and the sentences were sentenced and the expulsions were fired, and only Lao Zhang, who was on duty, remained in the police force.
The movie version of "The Three Teams" is that all the three teams were sentenced and no one was spared, and the online drama version changed Lao Zhang's role to that of a female policeman Lin Ying, who has more roles in the whole play, and the role is quite important.
The original story does not mention the fate of the rest of the three teams after they are released from prison, and the movie version of "The Three Teams" sets the members of the three teams as Zhang Qingliang, Cai Bin, Ma Zhenkun, Liao Jian and Xu Yizhou.
In addition to retaining several characters in the movie version, the online drama version of "The Three Teams" also added two characters, Lin Ying and Shishi, who also helped Cheng Bing in the pursuit of the escape.
In the prototype story, Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong's parents have already died, and only one aunt married to the Northeast. The movie version of "The Three Teams" simply did not mention whether Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong had families.
The online drama version of "The Three Teams" set up an old mother for Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong, and also set up a well-behaved daughter Miao Miao for Wang Eryong.
According to the plot tips, the popular actress Ren Min plays the adult version of Miao Miao, and Cheng Bing will have a rivalry with the adult Miao Miao in the process of chasing and escaping, and the online drama version has paved the way in the first episode.
The online drama version of "The Three Teams" retains Cheng Bing's wife and daughter in the movie version, Tong Liya plays Cheng's wife, and unlike the movie version, Cheng Bing's wife wanted to divorce him from the beginning of the story.
Political Commissar Zhao "He Zhengjun plays Director Zhao of the Provincial Public Security Department, this role is not in the prototype story and the movie version.
There are Yang Xinming in the online drama version and the movie version of "The Three Teams", he plays the old captain Zhang Qingliang in the movie, and the seventh uncle of the director in the online drama, the positioning of the two roles is not much different but the fate is very different, and the seventh uncle in the online drama version did not die soon.
Second, the group drama becomes a triangle drama.
There is only one protagonist in the prototype story of "The Three Teams", and the villain is Wang Eryong, and in the movie version, in addition to still retaining Cheng Bing as the protagonist, the movie also focuses on the portrayal of Cai Bin, Liao Jian, Ma Zhenkun and Xu Yizhou, the four original three major criminal policemen, their stories are equally exciting and touching.
It should be said that the movie version of "The Three Teams" is a group drama at least half of the plot, and although the online drama version of "The Three Teams" retains the characters in the movie version and adds several characters, the play looks more like a triangle drama.
Cheng Bing played by Qin Hao is a corner of the story, he was the captain of the three major teams in the early stage, and there was a competitive relationship with Pan Dahai, the captain of the second team, the two sometimes cooperated and sometimes quarreled, and after being released from prison, Cheng Bing embarked on the road of chasing the murderer alone.
Chen Minghao's Wang Dayong is the other corner of the story, and he has always been the target of Cheng Bing and Pan Dahai.
Pan Dahai played by Li Naiwen is the third corner of the story, in the incident of Wang Eryong's death in the interrogation room, he admitted to the inspectors that he saw Cheng Bing punch Wang Eryong, and his testimony became the key evidence of Cheng Bing's imprisonment, and also cast a shadow on the already tense relationship between the two.
In the process of Cheng Bing chasing the murderer alone, Pan Dahai and him had a relationship of cooperation and competition, and the two chased the murderer separately and also cooperated in the northeast to investigate.
From all aspects, the main plot of the online drama version of "The Three Teams" will revolve around the three corners of Cheng Bing, Pan Dahai and Wang Dayong, Lin Ying plays an important auxiliary role in it, and the former members of the three teams and Miao Miao play a secondary auxiliary role in this process.
3. Hu Yajie is the highlight.
The leader in the prototype story of "The Three Teams" is Deputy Director Yang in charge of criminal investigation, and Deputy Director Yang resigned after the accident of the three teams, but Cheng Bing still asked the police to tell Director Yang after he caught Wang Eryong, and the task of the three teams was completed.
In the movie version of "The Three Teams", the leader at the time was Director Chen, and when Cheng Bing was released from prison, he had retired, and the successor director was the original captain of the Second Brigade, Yang Jiantao, who was also the Yang Bureau.
In the online drama version of "The Three Teams", the leader at the time was Director Zhou, which is not an important role, but if some old viewers see the actor who plays Director Zhou, they will immediately realize and be pleasantly surprised.
The actor who plays Director Zhou is called Hu Yajie, born in 1963, and by 2023, he will already be a veteran actor in his sixtieth year.
In 1987, Hu Yajie, who was still a student of the acting department of Beijing Film Academy, starred in the TV series "Plainclothes Policeman", in which he played the young criminal policeman Zhou Zhiming.
Zhou Zhiming was originally an excellent criminal policeman, but he was forced to shoot and kill the fugitive during the arrest mission, which led to the failure of the mission, plus he deliberately ** film in order to protect his friends, and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison and suffered a lot on the ** farm.
After being rehabilitated, Zhou Zhiming was released from prison and rejoined the police force, he never forgot the failed arrest mission that year, and after a long period of investigation, he finally solved the mystery and caught the spy.
I believe that whether it is the screenwriter of the movie version of "The Three Teams" or the online drama version of "The Three Teams", they will definitely think of Zhou Zhiming in "Plainclothes Police" after seeing the prototype story, and Cheng Bing's experience is indeed very similar to him.
Therefore, the movie version of "The Three Teams" arranged the ending song of "Plainclothes Police" "Young Ambition is Not Sorrowful" as an echo and tribute, and the online drama version of "The Three Teams" simply invited "Zhou Zhiming" Hu Yajie to serve as Director Zhou directly.
It's almost the same, the story of "Plainclothes Police" began in 1976, then Zhou Zhiming should have been born in the fifties, and the online drama version of "The Three Teams" story took place in 1998, under normal circumstances, Zhou Zhiming should be in his forties and close to fifty years old at this time, whether it is age or seniority, it is no problem to serve as the director.
In this way, it is equivalent to the online drama version of "The Three Teams" and "Plainclothes Police" connecting the story through Director Zhou.
