The popularity of "In the Name of the People" is like a basin of ice water, calming down the TV drama market that has been trapped in a traffic cycle. This TV series clearly tells everyone that TV dramas still have to rely on quality to speak for themselves.
However, some people hold different views, because Li Hyuk himself is a big streamer. Li Hyuk starred in a supporting role in a TV series, which attracted huge attention to "In the Name of the People" and then relied on the quality of the series to retain the audience.
In other words, without Li Hyuk, it is not certain whether "In the Name of the People" would have achieved such good first-run results. From this, we can see the vision of Mango Channel. Other channels are a little worried about the prospects of this TV series, but Mango Channel
I bought this TV series without hesitation and became the biggest winner in the TV series market in April and May.
Although there are a lot of complaints about Mango Channel, it is undeniable that someone who can become the boss of a local channel is really capable. With this kind of vision and courage, other TV stations cannot imitate it.
As the series continued, the TV series became more and more exciting. Later, Li Dakang, played by Mr. Wu Gang, became the most popular person in the series with his out-of-the-circle emoticons. His scenes with Li He were the most loved by the audience.
The scenes were even specially edited and used as material. There were many ups on Bilibili who analyzed the two's acting skills and used positive examples to criticize those young actors with poor acting skills.
As the current top brother in domestic entertainment, Li Hyuk played a supporting role as a villain for the first time. Originally, the audience was worried that he would not perform well. After all, Li Hyuk's actual age is less than 26 years old. How could he play such a scheming and corrupt official?
a feeling of?
As a result, after watching the whole drama, I found that Li Hyuk is so awesome, as if he is Qi Tongwei himself. Every word and deed is full of momentum. When he is scheming people behind his back, his sinister and cunning look makes fans say that this is not their idol.
.
There are even fans of Lee Hyuk who have given up watching the drama because they cannot accept Lee Hyuk's villain image, and there are also fans who have lost their fans. But this just shows how outstanding Lee Hyuk's acting skills are.
In addition to the popularity of the TV series, more insider information about this drama has been revealed. For example, Li Hyuk only received 15 million yuan in salary for this drama. After watching it, the audience felt that the crew made too much money. The just-finished "Do You Know"
”, Li Hyuk received a salary of 100 million, and some netizens praised Li Lu as a genius, so many veteran actors were willing to take a cut in salary to film this movie.
Facts have proved that the veteran actors’ choices were right, and the TV series is indeed very exciting...
The investment story behind the scenes of this drama has also been deeply explored by netizens. Gao Yalin's most well-known role in the past is probably Xia Donghai in "Family with Children", but this time he is once again well-known to the audience as an investor.
Gao Yalin said in an interview that from the beginning, he and Li Lu wanted to make a good TV series that was not controlled by capital. For this, he invested all his savings and almost sold the house, but in the end he compromised with the capital.
When reporters asked, Gao Yalin smiled and said that Capital's only request was to let Li Hyuk play the role of Qi Tongwei, because Capital brought Li Hyuk. Director Li Lu refused at first, because his original intention of inviting Li Hyuk was
I wanted him to play the male lead Hou Liangping, but who knew that he would be attracted to Qi Tongwei.
Later, after the audition, Li Lu said that Qi Tongwei is Li He and there is no suitable person anymore.
As soon as this inside story broke out, it also attracted many netizens to see the hardships and embarrassments of the crew. Later, many veteran actors accepted interviews and complained loudly, saying that they were being manipulated by directors Li Lu, Gao Yalin and Li Hesan People were tricked into coming to the crew.
However, netizens didn't believe it when they saw the veteran actor's beaming expression, and some netizens left a message. It was clear that the actors were eager to join the cast and took the initiative to join the cast.
Compared with the scene-stealing scenes of many veteran drama stars, Lu Yi appears to be much more low-key. His role as Hou Liangping received a lot of criticism, especially when he went to the Hongmen Banquet at Shanshui Manor, where he was crushed by Li He throughout the whole process. There is a comment on the video website Netizens said that Lu Yi was so miserable.
The whole of April and May has become the most popular stage of "In the Name of the People", with insider information, plot interpretations, and character analysis emerging one after another. However, Li Hyuk, who is the most popular, has kept a low profile and has not made any hype. In addition to daily fans rushing to the list to maintain hot searches, He has never spoken a word, and has not even appeared in media interviews.
What Li Hyuk is doing is, of course, coordinating the shooting with the two directors of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Jingjue Ancient City". This project has been in preparation for two or three years, and the preliminary preparations have been very complete, including the tomb of Queen Jingjue, Cishan, and Jingjue Ancient City. Real scenes and models have been built.
During the early preparations, the crew also built several shooting landscapes in the desert of Western Xinjiang. After Li He came to the crew to report, he also gathered the actors to read the script and familiarize themselves with the acting process.
This drama must have a large number of special effects scenes. For this reason, Li Hyuk also mobilized his Hollywood connections and asked an executive from Warner Pictures to contact Industrial Light and Magic, a leader in the special effects industry, to provide special effects guidance, as well as many domestic special effects companies. participate.
Several major investors also attach great importance to this project and have no hesitation in spending money. The film has not yet started shooting, and the funds spent on preliminary preparations and special effects production alone have already reached 300 million. It is expected that the publicity and distribution production will eventually be included. The cost will exceed 700 million, making it a super-large production for a Chinese-language film.
However, compared to the gathering of big names in other movies, Li Hyuk is the only big name in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City". His salary alone is as high as 80 million. With his appeal, the price is completely worth it. For other actors, the female lead Wang Ou's salary is only 5 million, and Jiang Chao is only 500,000. The total salary of other actors does not exceed 5 million. Including the remuneration of the director and crew members, it is well controlled at around 100 million.
From this point of view, most of the investment can be invested in production. As long as it is shot well, a qualified commercial film can still be produced.
Da Mi Mi also came back from a visit and participated in several preparatory meetings. Although she will not star in the film, she is still the film's producer, so she will also participate in the meetings symbolically.
Back in the office, Da Mi Mi stretched out, pressed Li He on the sofa, then straddled Li He's legs and rested his head on Li He's shoulder.
"I'm so tired. I haven't had enough sleep these days. I want to take a vacation." Da Mi Mi said.
"Then just take a rest and go back to work whenever you want." Li He rubbed Da Mi Mi's shoulders.
"No," Da Mi Mi shook his head and said, "I still have several film appointments and variety shows to catch up on, so I can't rest."
Li He looked at Da Mi Mi strangely: "Why do I feel like you are busier than me? That's not true."
"I am also a first-line star after all, why aren't I busy?" Da Mi Mi got off Li He's lap and lay in his arms and said: "I watched "White Night", the quality is good, we have already cooperated with Penguin Video
An agreement has been reached and it is expected to be broadcast in July or August."
Li He nodded: "I can rest assured that you will do the work."
"That's right, I am also the big boss, why don't you, the second boss, share my worries?" Da Mi Mi rolled his eyes at Li He.
"I am a man who wants to grow up under the wings of great power. I can rest assured that you will protect me."
