Actors and actress screened from thousands of resumes were interviewed and examined so as to ensure that they best suit the characters either in terms of their age or their appearances.
Title：The Man in the Mirror
Scriptwriter：Meng Bing
Director：Wang Yansong
Plot Summary：
The Man in the Mirror recounts the story of Xing Liang and Zhao Yan, who studied at the same university as good friends but made different choices at the turning point of their life...
After graduation, Xing Liang became an industrious leader at the Discipline Inspection Department while the talented Zhao Yan rose up to become a high-rank official in a city. One day, a case has been assigned to Xing Liang, which to his surprise, is targeting his old classmate Zhao Yan. Here begins the thrilling story, on a bright beautiful summer day.
Remarks from the Scriptwriter：
The Man in the Mirror is not a means of whistle-blowing nor a criticism of senior government officials. It is an attempt to analyze the psycho-motive of corrupted officials and to describe the mentality of the investigators during their investigation into the corruption cases.
Remarks from the Director：
In Shakespeare’s words, his work is “to hold the mirror up to nature: to show virtue her feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure,” said director Wang Yansong.
The Man in the Mirror is a mainstream stage play that focuses on the interpretation of humanities, and hopefully I could render it into something different in terms of its visual effects and performance.
