Zhang Yimou's movies often have scenes like the duel between the sky and the unknown master, and the contest between two smart people is always exciting and can bring a lot of surprises to the audience.
In Article 20, although IQ masters abound, there may be different views on the level of emotional intelligence.
Some people may think of the wise and foolish prosecutor Han Ming, who is smooth on the surface but full of principles on the inside. Of course, some people may also think of Old Man Liu, with a kind face, but although these two characters are powerful, it is easy to see that they are upright.
And in "Article 20", there are two characters who are deeply hidden, one of them is good and the other is evil, but they are both masters of emotional intelligence and their methods are also very clever.
For example, Deputy Procurator General Tian, on the surface, he seems to be a very ordinary cadre, who is submissive to his superiors, and does not even dare to have his own ideas, always talking about "what does the Wang Procuratorate say".
It is also difficult for Deputy Procurator General Tian to provide substantive assistance to his colleagues, and he always holds meetings and discussions, and he does not even dare to take responsibility. At the hearing of Wang Yongqiang's case, Deputy Procurator General Tian seemed to have become a "villain" who stood on the opposite side of Prosecutor Han Ming.
From this point of view, the role of Deputy Procurator General Tian seems to have no bright spots, so mediocre that he is incompetent, and he even wants to pursue Lu Lingling.
But in fact, we can look at Deputy Procurator General Tian from another angle.
Deputy Procurator General Tian has always favored Han Ming, who was on temporary duty, and always asked him for meetings to involve him in the Wang Yongqiang case. Han Ming's opinion is also very respectful. There are two sides to this approach.
First of all, from the official point of view, Han Ming is a capable prosecutor, although he speaks tactfully but works very seriously, and is a cadre worthy of promotion. Letting him participate in the Wang Yongqiang case also helped him make meritorious contributions and laid the foundation for his promotion.
Secondly, in private, Han Ming's brother-in-law is Li Maoquan, deputy captain of the criminal police team, and has a close relationship with the procuratorate. And Lu Lingling is not very good at handling interpersonal relationships, with Han Ming's presence, at least she can solve the problem of cooperative relations with the criminal police team.
Deputy Procurator General Tian is well aware of the depth of Wang Yongqiang's case and knows that Liu Wenjing and Old Man Liu are not easy to mess with. In order to protect Lu Lingling, he also had to support Han Ming's participation in the case and indirectly protect her.
In Wang Yongqiang's case, although Lu Lingling has not made progress, Deputy Procurator General Tian did not forcibly intervene, but only verbally urged, which actually gave Lu Lingling a lot of support.
Finally, at the hearing of Wang Yongqiang's case, Deputy Procurator General Tian supported Han Ming"Contradictory", in fact, it is paving the way for Han Ming's play, although he may sacrifice some of his own image, but this can be regarded as helping Han Ming gain more recognition.
Therefore, Deputy Procurator General Tian is actually a person with a special sense of justice and knows how to handle things, and it seems that he has not done anything, but in fact he has done a mess, and he has done a very good job. This kind of hidden master will definitely be promoted sooner or later.
The question is, will Lu Lingling have a crush on him? Lawyer Chen is clever, although he does not appear many times, his level of speaking and acting is very high. If you don't look closely, you might be fooled by him.
Lawyer Chen's first appearance was when Mr. Liu blocked the door of the procuratorate. As the lawyer of the Liu family, of course he was there, but he was very shrewd and did not stand at the front desk. He knew that it was not appropriate to block the door, and as a lawyer, he could not openly support Old Man Liu's behavior.
The secretary of the local political and legal committee, the deputy chief procurator of the procuratorate, and the procurator were all present. At this time, lawyer Chen stood up, but he did not show any obvious tendencies, and there was no flaw in his words, saying what should be said and not saying a word that should not be said.
You must know that although the Liu family is lawyer Chen's employer, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the procuratorate are the real long-term partners in his career. It is his duty as a lawyer for Mr. Chen to speak up, and his very appropriate remarks will not only impress the secretary, the deputy prosecutor general and the prosecutor, but his attitude of knowing how to do things will also win him favor.
Therefore, after watching the movie, a professional lawyer said that Mr. Chen's performance was too professional.
The second act of lawyer Chen took place in the hotel, discussing with Han Ming and Li Maojuan to deal with Han Yuchen's affairs. Because of the involvement in Wang Yongqiang's case, prosecutor Han Ming had to avoid suspicion, and then lawyer Chen used his clever trick again.
In the bathroom, lawyer Chen told Han Ming that there were no cameras or surveillance here, reassuring him that no one would record or record the video. He also said that he would help without asking for anything in return, so that Han Ming could rest assured that he would not leave any handle on the children's problems after solving them.
In fact, Lawyer Chen's purpose was to take advantage of the kinship of his uncle, Director Zhang, in the hope of exchanging favors from Han Ming and Li Maojuan. For people like them, the hardest thing to repay is not money, but favors. Lawyer Chen wants Han Ming and Li Maojuan to owe him a favor, which is not used for the time being, but can be kept in case of emergency.
Although he tried his best to get Director Zhang and Li Maojuan to reach a settlement to withdraw the case, because Zhang Ke found someone to beat Han Yuchen, Li Maojuan became anxious, which eventually led to the situation getting out of control, Director Zhang suffered a fracture, and Li Maojuan was administratively detained.
Although Mr. Chen's plan did not succeed, he did his best and was not a loser in this chaos. These scenes are enough to impress many viewers with the young lawyer Chen, whose methods are superb but low-key, but in fact, he may have planned a secret scene behind his back.
An important clue in Wang Yongqiang's case was the knife that Liu Wenjing put in the car. Lu Lingling kept asking Li Maoquan to find the knife, but we all know that the knife was thrown into the river by Liu Wenjing's cousin after the crime.
The question is, how could Liu Wenjing's cousin realize the importance of the knife and take action to destroy the evidence, as he seems to be just a troublemaker?
Many people speculate that there may be a master behind Liu Wenjing's cousin, perhaps lawyer Chen. He may be behind this case and deserves to be prosecuted.
But we can also think about another question, with the ingenuity of lawyer Chen, would he directly tell Liu Wenjing's cousin to destroy the evidence? In fact, he has many ways to hint to Old Man Liu without leaving a trace.
In general, "Article 20" is very exciting in terms of plot, lines and acting, not only the protagonist, but also the supporting roles are very eye-catching, which is really wonderful and should not be missed.
