Plot of the TV series "2009 Crime Upgrade":

This TV drama mainly consists of a series of shocking major criminal cases such as "The Murder Case of Government Official's Mistress", "The Serial Killer Case of Professional Gambler Who Killed His Own Parents", "The Case of A Good Student Killing His Birth Mother with a Hammer", "The Rape and Murder Case of A 15-Year-Old Girl", "The Online Luring Prostitution Case of Teenage Girls", "The Case of A 17-Year-Old Girl Committing Murder for Love", "The Case of Selling Sisters for Money", and "The Case of Innocent School Beauty Selling Herself for Drugs and Committing Murder". This series is mainly re-enacted by criminals or non-professional actors mimicking performances to restore the real case situations and crime scenes as much as possible. It aims to let the audience deeply reflect on human nature while hating evil and achieve the purpose of educating society. These cases have become teaching cases in police universities.

In terms of narrative methods, "2009 Crime Upgrade" adopts non-linear composite narration, with both objective narratives and commentary from an onlooker; it uses time as the main thread, but also has emotional flashbacks of characters. This series is relatively profound, covering not only cases but also many problems in life, such as views on superiors, social factors leading to crimes, etc. The stories present a kind of radiative pattern. In addition, "2009 Crime Upgrade" also draws on the expression methods of American and European films, making it easy for Chinese audiences who are accustomed to foreign blockbusters to accept. Writer Cong Weixi commented that this TV series is rich in social connotation and artistically returns to real life, giving people a refreshing feeling.

The TV series "2009 Crime Upgrade" does not feature all well-known actors. Regarding this point, Chen Guojun believes that people used to overvalue stars, while stars are just role players. He said, "As a producer, I know very well how stars are 'manufactured' and I know the role of actors. I think that Chinese actors are currently in a declining state. Many stars are famous in name only, and their actual abilities do not live up to their reputation. Stars need to be elevated by good plays. If the play is not good, it’s all in vain. After using some stars, many directors feel that they are not worth the price. They are too concerned about their own image, and during filming, they are busy with social engagements, with their phones ringing constantly, which affects their performance state and mentality. They are just selling their faces. On the other hand, those actors who haven't yet become big-name stars work very hard, and this is an indispensable reason for the success of our series. Moreover, audiences are already familiar with the faces of stars, and some even feel tired of them. Unfamiliar faces may bring a sense of freshness."
