Although the four films were produced by Shanhe at about the same time, the specific timing of the project approval by the cooperating parties is uncertain.
"Heart Blossom Road" was the first project to be announced to the public, and the casting lineup was announced at the same time.
Tianxia invited Shen Teng and Golden Dragon actor Huang Bo to play the two male leads.
Huang Bo plays the first protagonist Geng Hao, and Shen Teng plays his good buddy Hao Yi. The heroine has found Shanhe artist Wan Qian. Her intellectual temperament is quite in line with the heroine's line as a young literary and artistic woman.
At the same time, there are also a number of second-tier actresses who provide supporting roles or guest appearances, playing the roles of the "peach blossoms" that the two male protagonists encounter along the way.
Huang Bo is currently the highest-grossing actor in the Mainland film industry and China's first tens-billion-dollar box office gentleman. He has a strong box office appeal.
And Shen Teng is a rising star in the film industry who is known as the king of comedy of the new generation. He is also the actor who has the most hope of becoming a billionaire at the box office.
These two starred together in "The Flowers of the Heart", which can be said to be a strong team-up.
In the words of a famous film and television V, these two names alone are worth 1 billion in box office, not to mention a group of female stars headed by Wan Qian.
The lineup is eye-catching, and the scripts of Shanhe comedy movies are always strong. Although "The Flower of the Heart" has not yet started shooting, some box office statistics agencies have already predicted that the movie will earn at least 2.5 billion in box office.
After the project of "Heart Blossom Road Release" was established, "Fire Burning Heart", a collaboration between Shanhe and Cactus, was soon officially announced.
Director Zhou Yan personally led several leading actors to hold a press conference. The three leading actors are Gu Xiaoge, Duan Long, and Guo Bo, and the heroine is Song Jia.
The sensation caused by this lineup is not less than that of "Heart Blossom Road".
I won’t go into details about Gu Xiaoge, the newly crowned TV star and the top star in the industry. Duan Long has been making great films in the past two years and is firmly on the front line, with his acting skills widely praised.
Guo Bo, who is located in the third chapter, is Zhou Yan's old partner. He appears in seven out of ten of Zhou Yan's works.
With this great director supporting him, Guo Bo is also doing well. He has won two Golden Dragon Awards [Best Supporting Actor] before, and was also nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor. Although his reputation is not particularly high, he is also very capable in the industry. group.
With a famous film director and many famous actors with excellent acting skills, the movie "Fire" is also highly anticipated by the outside world.
However, due to the subject matter, the box office appeal of several actors is not particularly outstanding, and no parties have made specific box office estimates for this movie.
The same goes for "Wushuang".
Xiangjiang films have always been known for their rapid production. Although they have begun to be refined over the years, the underlying sharpness has not been lost.
Although it is ranked third in the official announcement of the project, it is the fastest among the four movies to start production. If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be the first movie to be released.
If only the lineup of the first two movies had caused a stir in the outside world.
Well, the starring cast of "Wushuang" Fa Ge + Liu Tianwang + Shui Miaomiao, as well as the series of Hong Kong celebrities who supported the show, directly shocked everyone.
Countless old Xiangjiang movie fans almost cried with joy. They haven't seen a movie with this level of lineup in many years.
Shaojia is awesome!
Shanhe is awesome!
Compared with the hugely popular "Wu Shuang", the last announced "Operation Red Sea" seems to be inconspicuous.
Although the male protagonist Wu Jing's fame has grown rapidly in the past two years, he has not broken through to the top, and the same goes for the second male lead Zhang Ze.
To put it bluntly, the combined popularity of the two of them is not enough for Shui Miaomiao alone, let alone Liu Tianwang and Fa Ge, who are even more popular than Qishui.
Even though Wu Jing and Zhang Ze have one male lead and one second male lead, the promotional star of "Operation Red Sea" is famous among the crew.
The biggest Yin pear.
The outside world's attention to "Operation Red Sea" is also the lowest among the four movies. Many people even use it to make up the numbers.
However, the industry paid the most attention to "Operation Red Sea", but the emphasis was not on the movie itself, but on Red Star Group, one of the producers.
Shanhe got involved with the Red Star Group!
Many forces in the film industry were dumbfounded. They were all in the industry. Who didn't know the weight of the Red Star Group? With its protection, no one dared to easily move the country.
However, even if the Red Star Group does not use its military background, Shanhe is no longer bullied by anyone in the film industry.
The world, cactus, Shaojia, red star.
With a large number of film cooperation projects, Shanhe has already tied up a large number of allies who work together to advance and retreat. If Shanhe is provoked, it is very likely that the five major companies will retaliate together.
To put it bluntly, Shanhe has become powerful in the film industry and has completely established a mountaintop.
Although this mountain is not particularly powerful, no one can bully it.
When Sunward formulated its film development strategy, the first step was to independently produce films, make achievements, and build a reputation. "Charlotte Trouble" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" all came about during this stage.
After establishing the name of Shanhe Movies, Shanhe's second step is to win over allies and gain a firm foothold in the film industry.
That's why we collaborated with Tianxia and Cactus on "Sewing Machine Band" and "The Shy Iron Fist".
After the success of the two movies, Shanhe gained two solid allies and took advantage of the trend to gain a firm foothold. At the same time, it expanded the scope of its allies to further enhance its own influence.
During this period, Shanhe also began to vigorously move from the field of TV series to the field of movies.
This can also be seen from the main creative lineup of the four movies, with a large number of Shanhe artists starring.
In the past, some people have criticized Shanhe artists for being highly biased, and most of them are a group of TV drama actors. Nowadays, this shortcoming can be slowly made up for.
It is foreseeable that in the future, Shanhe artists will not just compete in the field of TV series, but film and television will go hand in hand...
………
While Shanhe continues to expand its territory in the film field, it is still as brilliant as ever in its home base of TV dramas.
On January 4, 2025, "Jingwei Reclamation", which Lao Gao has been preparing for more than half a year, was finally launched.
As mentioned before, this drama is an original script by the Shanhe Screenwriting Department. The plot is probably the "Fengshen Yanyi" version of the Zhuolu War, and it also incorporates a large number of ancient myths.
The heroine Jingwei is starring Shanhe's popular Xiaohua Mao Tong.
To be honest, Mao Tong missed this role. According to director Gao Xinjian's idea, the first choice for this role was Shui Miaomiao, and the second choice was Zhang Jiajia.
But at that time, Shui Miaomiao was fully preparing for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and had no time at all. Zhang Jiajia also acted in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". At the same time, there was an urban drama outside that was accepted in advance, so she couldn't miss the time.
Mao Tong had a small role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", so he freed up his schedule in advance and came over to audition.
After all, Mao Tong was from Shanhe, and the conditions were suitable in all aspects. Gao Xinjian thought about it carefully and finally made the decision.
The attractions of Shanhe's version of "Jingwei Reclamation" are actually the various mythical characters and excellent special effects, and the plot is secondary.
Because everyone is so familiar with these mythological stories, although certain magical changes have been made in the play based on the main plot, the ending has not changed, and the audience has already been prepared.
The overall rhythm of this drama is good, and the actors are also good. The only criticism is that the heroine Jingwei has too many scenes, whether it is Houyi shooting the sun or Kuafu chasing the sun, or even Gonggong crashing into the mountain and Xingtianwu.
Qi, she can be found everywhere.
But this is normal. After all, it is a TV series and it must closely follow the main plot.
These famous mythological scenes often have a certain role in promoting the plot. As the first heroine, Jingwei, it is normal for her to participate in them.
The reason why the audience feels that there are many dramas is because the original versions of these mythological stories exist independently. In the drama, Jingwei's presence is frequently emphasized in the main storyline, and some of them even have a lot to do with her.
To a certain extent, this conflicts with the audience's understanding of the story, leading to resistance to Jingwei's appearance. However, if one only considers the normal logic of the plot, there is no problem with Jingwei's appearance.
The above are criticisms. Another point that people talk about in "Jingwei Reclamation" is that the heroine Jingwei has no emotional scenes.
According to the setting in the play, Jingwei is a strange woman.
The background of the play is that at that time, the human race was torn apart, and the various tribes and princes were fighting against each other, and countless common people suffered from the war.
Jingwei, who has seen the hardships of the human race since he was a child, vowed to do his best to end the war and let the people of the world live a quiet and peaceful life.
The first person Jingwei assisted was his father, Emperor Yan, who made the Shennong tribe the largest tribe in the human race.
It's a pity that Emperor Yan is kind and not enterprising enough. Compared with becoming the co-master of the human race, he prefers to enjoy medical skills and eliminate diseases for the human race.
Although Jingwei himself is intelligent, he does not have the courage and means to become the queen of women, nor does he have enough prestige to suppress everyone.
So after discovering that her father could not become a big success, she did not become a female queen, but planned to find a qualified newcomer to assist her.
Then Jingwei met Huangdi.
Compared with Yan Emperor, who was mediocre in ambition, Huang Emperor was very ambitious, had excellent strategies and strategies, and had huge power under his command. More importantly, Huang Emperor had plans to dominate the world.
Although Huangdi's purpose was more to realize his inner ambition, it coincided with Jingwei's wish.
Therefore, after carefully inspecting Huangdi, Jingwei felt that he was a qualified monarch, so he arranged for the merger of the Shennong tribe and the Xuanyuan tribe where Huangdi belonged.
The two large tribes, which were originally the top two tribes in the human race, immediately became the overlords of the human race after their merger.
The Yellow Emperor was able to fight and led his men into battle, the Jingwei was smart and gave advice to the Yellow Emperor, and there was also the Yan Emperor who had a high prestige among the human race because he tasted herbs and compiled medical books.
Soon, the human race will be unified, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor will be collectively known as the two emperors, and the peaceful world that Jingwei hopes for will soon come.
Then, the big villain Chi You appeared with his Jiuli tribe.
According to the setting of the play, the Jiuli tribe is a branch of the human race. They are all tribes who made big mistakes or were defeated and were expelled to the wilderness. They are collectively called Jiuli.
The Jiuli tribe has lived in the wilderness for a long time. They are bloodthirsty and powerful in fighting. They also hate the human race very much and want to fight back and regain the world.
Chi You was born a strange species, with three heads and six arms, and was invulnerable. He had eighty-one brothers who also had this ability.
Before that, the Jiuli tribe fought on their own and continued their conquests, until Chi You appeared, unified the Jiuli tribe with his brothers, walked out of the barbaric land, and prepared to slaughter all the human race and take back the world.
Huang Di and Jingwei naturally would not sit still and wait for death, so the two sides faced each other.
Throughout the play, Jingwei made up his mind to help the Yellow Emperor unify the human race in the early stage, and later led the human race with the Yellow Emperor to fight against Chi You. He was devoted to public service, pretending to be all about the world, and had no love for his children at all.
In the end, in order to defeat Chi You, he suppressed Chi You at the expense of himself.
And because of his obsession with peace in the world, he turned into a Jingwei bird after his death, pecking rocks and wood every day, and throwing them into the sea where Chi You was suppressed to prevent him from resurrecting.
It can be said that Jingwei's character design is very outstanding. When setting her up, the screenwriter even referred to some martyrs with righteous thoughts.
In the role of Jingwei, you can see the love between her and the Yellow Emperor as a monarch and a minister, the sisterly love between the Yellow Emperor's daughter Nvba, the father-daughter love with her father Yandi, and the love and compassion for the people of the human race, but there is no male or female relationship.
love between.
Because of this, this character is loved by many non-CP viewers, and many people even say that this is the real heroine.
What is a man? How can he have a good career...
However, although Jingwei focuses on her career and does not have any emotional scenes, several characters are still created to like her in the drama.
Yinglong, the general in Huangdi's camp, and Houyi, who lost Chang'e, both liked Jingwei.
The former even confessed to Jingwei, but was rejected directly. The latter has always been secretly in love with Jingwei. After Jingwei's death, he stayed in the sea where Jingwei held rocks and pecking at wood for thousands of years. On the surface, he was looking at Chi You, but in fact, he was seeing Chi You.
Birds miss people, stage sadomasochistic love.
The actor who played Hou Yi became famous because of this. After all, everyone likes infatuated characters.
In addition to Yinglong and Houyi, the villain Chi You also showed his appreciation for Jingwei to a certain extent.
However, this person is also a non-romantic person who is dedicated to his career. He appreciates it and appreciates it. He is not hesitant when it is time to kill him, and his heroic character continues to be unstoppable.
How should I put it? Many people think that since Jingwei has no emotional scenes, there is no need to make so many characters like her, which is unnecessary.
But in fact, it is not the case. "The heroine is dedicated to her career" and "Several high-quality stocks like the heroine, but the heroine is not a good person and is dedicated to her career." The degree of satisfaction in these is not the same. The latter is far better than
former.
In today's environment where love dramas are rampant, almost any film or television theme cannot avoid the romance element.
"Jingwei Reclamation", a model with no CP for the protagonist, is particularly unique and is admired by many people.
Of course, the premise is that the quality of other plots in the drama "Jingwei Reclamation" is guaranteed, otherwise there will be no emotional scenes, other plots will be a mess, and the protagonist will not be able to attract the audience even if he is a bachelor for the rest of his life.
On the basis of the excellent plot quality, supplemented by the selling point of no CP, coupled with the widespread influence of many mythical IPs.
After the broadcast of "Jingwei Reclamation", the ratings exploded. In the end, the average ratings of the whole series were as high as 3.26, and the Douhua score was 8.3 points.
It not only allowed Lao Gao to wipe out the slight decline of the previous year's "The Match" and revive his morale, but also laid a beautiful start for the Shanhe drama in 2025.
"Family with Children 8" and "Detective Detective Dee 4", which were released immediately after, have also achieved outstanding results.
