Synopsis
A court in a district of Wenquan City sentenced a traffic accident case: Xu Dahuai, the driver of director Xia of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee, drunk driving and knocked down a female gymnast Jiang Yanyan, who died on the spot; Although it is a negligent crime, it voluntarily surrenders and has a good attitude, and is exempt from criminal punishment. People have been unfair to this judgment and appealed to the city intermediate court. Shang Qin, the president of the court, insisted on the principle of seeking truth from facts. In the investigation, it was first found that the defendant should not be the driver of Director Xia, but he was the replacement. With the in-depth investigation of the case, Shang Qin encountered resistance and pressure from all sides. Liu Rulian, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Materials, relied on the power of her husband, Director Xia, to create a "scapegoat" by means of buying, wooing, threatening and tricking, so as to take the fall for her son. This plan failed, and she looked for old comrades-in-arms and old chiefs everywhere to intercede with each other. In all these activities, Secretary Lin, who is good at flattery, actively helped to "blow the horn and lift the sedan chair" and made suggestions. Lao Jin, a judge of the court, was timid and afraid of contradictions, so he got away from illness. Tang Xiaosu, a typist of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee, was intimidated into overturning his testimony. Shang Qin was involved in a struggle between law and power, law and emotion. In the struggle, she constantly overcame her inner distress and hesitation, and gained people's trust and support. Xiao Gan, the female court clerk, understood her and helped her. Director Xia, the old superior whom she respected, woke up from the pain of her son's crime and firmly supported her. Relatives and friends of the victim trusted her and confided in her the voice of justice. In order to safeguard the socialist legal system, she resolutely overcame all kinds of pressures from all sides and adhered to the principle of "the law does not show partiality". Be diligent and upright, enforce the law like a mountain. Under her leadership, the truth of a murder case under the illusion of "traffic accident" was completely found out. It not only exposed the seriousness of the case itself, but also lashed out at the old forces and habits that ignored and undermined the legal system. Finally, the socialist legal spirit finally broke through the obstacles of feudal privileged forces and won. In the solemn court, Shang Qin sentenced the murderer Xia Huan to death on behalf of * * * and the people. After a just trial, Shang Qin firmly believes that "without the rule of law, it cannot be a country;" If you don't obey the law, it means you can't.

Zhou Chu plays Xia Yichi
, the director of the hot spring revolutionary Committee, and is an old superior who is highly respected by Shang Qin. He is honest and self-disciplined, but because he was persecuted in the turbulent years and was busy with his work after he was reinstated, he neglected the educational constraints on his family. After waking up from the pain of his son's crime, he chose to firmly support Shang Qin in handling cases according to law. Moyu Lin plays Liu Rulian
, the wife of Xia Yichi, director of the Revolutionary Committee, and the deputy director of the Materials Bureau. Since childhood, I have been arrogant and used to protecting my son in every way. After the son committed a crime, he used his husband's prestige and influence and his own authority to do everything possible to move around and make a fake to exonerate his son. Behind-the-scenes tidbits In the script revision stage, the director once proposed to change the background of the case to the period of the Gang of Four, and the father's identity of the offender to the gang of the Gang of Four. However, Dunde Chen, the screenwriter, thinks that the script should expose that a few cadres ignore the party discipline and state laws and engage in feudal privileges. If the feudal privileges are simply blamed on the Gang of Four, the ideological significance of the script will be greatly reduced, so he resolutely refuses to change the background? . When Tian Hua invited Moyu Lin to shoot Inside and Outside the Court in Emei Factory, Moyu Lin declined because of illness. But Tian Hua invited again. When Moyu Lin hesitated, director Lian Xiaoya called and lied that Moyu Lin's husband Zhou Chu agreed to play Director Xia and asked her to play Director Liu, the wife of Director Xia. Moyu Lin smell speech will no longer refuse. And director Lian Xiaoya turned and called Zhou Chu who was filming in other places, saying that Moyu Lin promised to play Director Liu, and Zhou Chu also promised to play Director Xia? . In order to play a good judge, Tian Hua went to the court to experience life, followed the female judge of the court every day, always observed her words and deeds, and wrote them down one by one with a small notebook. After the film was released, many viewers sent letters of complaint to Tian Hua and sent them directly to Bayi Film Factory. The envelope said "Tian Qingtian received it"? . The scene in which Secretary Lin asked Lao Jin to understand the case was filmed in a real free market. The director let the actors mix with the people and "* * *" through a certain angle? . At the end of the film, Moyu Lin sprained his foot, and the doctor told him not to walk. But she also wants to film Director Liu auditing the court's trial of Xia Huan. The production director first carried her out of the car and waited outside the court. After everything was ready, he sent someone to carry her to the court seat. During the filming, Moyu Lin didn't feel any pain in his feet because he devoted himself to the performance, but after the filming, he was so painful that sweat and tears fell together? . At the beginning of the film, in the picture of the trial of Xu Dahuai by the district court, the banner reads "Nanhe District", but the lines behind it say "Dongcheng District Court"? . Background of behind-the-scenes production and creation
Dunde Chen, one of the screenwriters of this film, was inspired by three things when he wrote Inside and Outside the Court. The first thing is: when he was working in a rural radio station, he met a case in which a rogue pretended to be a recruiting officer and cheated a rural girl. At that time, because the criminal was the son of a responsible cadre, the case was dropped. The victim's angry and painful face has been deeply imprinted on Dunde Chen's mind. In 1979, the Criminal Procedure Law was revised again. After being transferred to a professional creative post, he immediately thought of the girl's experience, hoping to reflect her fate. The second thing is: shortly after the downfall of the Gang of Four, Dunde Chen learned about a "car accident" case when he was engaged in artistic creation. The young actress of the art troupe was killed by a car, and the perpetrator was the brother of the criminal who had pretended to be an officer before. The perpetrator did not have a driver's license, but the car was borrowed. In the end, the court was "lenient". These two things became the source of inspiration for his creation of Jiang Yanyan's case in Inside and Outside the Court? . The third thing is that when a judge known in Dunde Chen was trying a case, someone from the criminal's father's unit suggested that he be lenient, in exchange for the other party taking care of his daughter in graduation distribution. After ideological struggle, the judge would rather have his daughter assigned to a remote mountainous area than bend the law for personal gain. Which judge became the prototype of Shang Qin, the protagonist in Inside and Outside the Court? .
adaptation of the script
after reading the first draft of the script, directors Lianwen Chong and Lu Xiaoya were deeply attracted, and thought that the theme of the script was of great benefit to strengthening the legal system construction, promoting stability and unity, and restoring and carrying forward the fine revolutionary tradition of seeking truth from facts and promoting the "four modernizations". However, the plot development of the first draft is not vivid enough, and the characterization is still thin. In order to better portray the characters and make the clues of plot development more reasonable, they revised three literary scripts and one story board. In order to add more difficulties and pressure to Shang Qin, they added Liu Rulian's personal intercession with Shang's family, and Lao Jin advised Shang Qin to "consider the relationship" and make an exception, thus revealing Shang Qin's principled position of not favoritism. She also wrote about her ideological struggle in difficult times, describing that she gained strength and courage from her husband's words "Only by being faithful to facts can she be faithful to history". In order to strengthen the relationship between Shang Qin and Xia Jia, at the beginning of the film, she went to Xia Jia to visit Liu Rulian and sent pickles to Director Xia. In order to keep the characters in contradiction all the time, a short scene of lawyer's defense was added before the final verdict. In addition to the leading role, Lianwen Chong and Lu Xiaoya also pay attention to excavating supporting roles. In order to expose the ugly soul of Secretary Lin, who carried the sedan chair, Shang Qin summoned him to conduct a moral trial on Secretary Lin with the voice of the judge. In order to solve the problem of thin script, they also added a play by typist Tang Xiaosu, so that she didn't just complete the task of confirming the car accident, but wrote that she almost committed suicide because of credulity, which made the plot more tortuous? . Film style
The directors think that the major themes of real life should be expressed in a real and simple way, and they determine that the film style should be: full of * * * in seriousness and profundity. Because the film is a drama with a slightly thrilling style, they emphasize the simple reproduction of life in the shooting, so it is determined that the interior and exterior are shot with real scenes. In terms of lighting effect, it is also required to create an environmental atmosphere close to life as much as possible. In terms of makeup and clothing, we don't engage in fancy clothes or aestheticism, and everything is aimed at creating a real and credible environment and depicting characters' personalities and psychology? . Actor's guidance
Due to the tight time after the official shooting, it was impossible to rehearse step by step, so the crew adopted two methods. For the old actors who have considerable performance experience, they adopt the method of research and discussion. A few days before the start of each scene, the director and the actors discuss each other and reach a unified performance plan. For young actors, especially those who are filming for the first time, the method of diligent filming and training is adopted. Through rehearsal, they can gradually master their roles. Sometimes, some actors can't play after a long rehearsal in the middle of the night, but even so, they still don't relax their demands. .

China film evaluation in 1981
It is valuable that the director of this film dares to take controversial subjects and risk his first life. The film's style is simple, fresh and gratifying. Although the characterization is based on ideas, the use of film language is not impeccable, but the small flaws do not hide the beauty of real jade? . (Review of Film Review)
With the courage of a realistic artist, the director of this film vividly reproduces the life picture of China people fighting for a sound socialist legal system on the screen. The film reveals sharp social contradictions truly rather than falsely, and exposes the dark side of real life directly rather than covertly. With penetrating brushwork, it outlines some moldy souls who are hiding under the veil of revolution and losing the revolutionary spirit, telling the audience that we must face up to the struggle against such people? .
