《人民的名义》
In the Name of the People
In the Name of The People, which cost some 120 million yuan to produce, features well-known actors like Lu Yi and Zhang Fengyi. The show is the first drama series to feature high-level government corruption as a central theme since 2004.
《人民的名义》制作耗资1.2亿元,由著名演员陆毅、张丰毅等出演。这部剧是自2004年起首部以高层政府官员腐败为核心主题的电视剧。
The message is to convey that China is “a country of the people, all power belongs to the people,” the narrator says in the show’s previews.
这部剧想要传达的信息正如预告片中所说:“我们是人民当家作主的国家,一切权力属于人民。”
And there’s more to come, since In the Name of People is just the first of five anti-graft dramas the Procuratorate’s broadcast department has been producing.
还会有更多这类电视剧亮相,因为《人民的名义》只是最高人民检察院影视中心出品的5部反贪剧之一。
The term “main theme” is often used to refer to productions, including films and television series, that feature overarching themes with government policies. The production and broadcasting of In the Name of The People on prime-time screens, therefore, reflects Beijing’s growing confidence that it is able to win the battle against corruption.
包括影视剧在内,以政府政策为贯穿始终主题的作品常被称作“主旋律”。由此可见,《人民的名义》得以制作并在黄金时段播出,反映了中国对赢得反腐斗争的信心在不断增强。

preview 预告片
anti-graft drama 反贪剧
