In March 2022, Xing Jianjun decided to create the TV series "The Lonely Warrior, and script discussions began. By December 2022, the basic script was completed, and as the filming progressed from preparation to start, the script was continuously revised and polished.[10]

Scriptwriting[edit]

The TV series "The Lonely Warrior" is adapted from Shenlan's work "Please tell the Director, the mission of Brigade Three has been completed".[11] This prototype story provides a valuable first draft outline, and the series cleverly retained it during the adaptation process. The core content not only shows the charm of the original story, but also adds more details and plot development through in-depth expansion, making the story richer.[4]

The creative team interviewed many veteran police officers and detectives. Their experiences and inner and emotional changes in the face of different incidents have become one of the sources of authenticity in the creation of "Three Brigades".[10]

Character selection[edit]

Xing Jianjun, the screenwriter and director of the TV series "The Lonely Warrior", started to contact Qin Hao after writing 5 episodes of the script. After that, he never wanted to find other actors and kept communicating with him. Because he has a sense of reality, from his performance to his own state, it is very consistent.[12]

Venue framing[edit]

The TV series "The Lonely Warrior" was filmed in Xiamen, Northeast China, Yunnan and other places.

Clothing and makeup props[edit]

The TV series "The Lonely Warrior" restores the background of the era more than 20 years ago, and the creative team planted many "Easter eggs". One of the characteristics of this play is "nostalgia". The play shows common props such as mobile phones and BP machines (pagers) at the end of the 20th century.[13]

Behind-the-scenes[edit]

The creative team of the TV series "The Lonely Warrior" spent a lot of time in early stage exchanges, interviews, and visits. They obtained first-hand real materials from more than 20 front-line criminal police officers and police station directors, and invited these police officers to come to the scene to guide the filming.[14]

Reception[edit]

Positive[edit]

"People's Daily" commented that the drama version of The Lonely Warrior "embodies that even though the members of the criminal police team have lost their professional status, they have never lost their firm performance of their duties, their persistent pursuit of justice, and their dedication at all costs."[15]

Negative[edit]

Although Wanda is responsible for both the movie and web drama adaptations of The Lonely Warrior, the storyline of the drama version of "The Big Three" has caused controversy due to over-stretching and cutting compared to the movie version. The major differences between the drama version and the movie version are that firstly, the escaped Wang Eryong in the prototype and movie version was changed to his brother Wang Dayong, and secondly, the timeline of events related to the Third Brigade and the Wang brothers was moved forward. In this regard, Xing Jianjun, the screenwriter and director of the play, said that although the film and drama versions communicate with each other, they are not content-oriented, but emotional. The scripts of the film and online drama are independent, emphasizing that "giving the transparent story another dimension" rationality"[16]。
