Chapter five hundred and forty-seven campus small fresh 'best of us'
"Longmen Escort" took advantage of the momentum of "Wulin Gaiden" to become popular before it was aired, and "Wrathful Sunny Xiangxi" has the accumulation of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and will not worry about attention.
However, the new work of Wang Qian, who has just been promoted to one of the top five directors of Shanhe, is not so popular.
In fact, as the director of the newly popular "White Night", Wang Qian still has the support of many viewers and fans.
Countless people are even eagerly waiting for her to film the sequel to "White Night", but there is no script in Shanhe. Wang Qian is a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.
In addition, for several years in a row, she has been filming criminal investigation and suspense-themed works. Wang Qian is just like Lao Gao with mythological dramas, and her enthusiasm for creating the same themes has been greatly reduced.
To put it simply, I got tired of filming.
Therefore, Wang Qian wanted to do something new this time.
This is nothing at first. It is normal in the industry for directors to try new themes and make breakthroughs.
Several other directors from Shanhe have already played it.
Lao Gao became famous through sitcoms, but now he is inspired to become the king of mythological dramas.
Kong Sheng started his career by filming realistic themes, and is now a representative director in the field of dramas.
Lao Xue also started his career in sitcoms, and now he specializes in costume suspense and IP web dramas.
Zuo Le, the boss of Shanhe, is an all-rounder, including sitcoms, dramas, martial arts dramas, costume dramas, online dramas, spy war dramas, anti-war dramas, and has even made several movies. He has a wide range of interests and is a complete "miscellaneous person".
Wang Qian used to be an advertising director. After joining Sunward, she officially became a director starting from the "Serious Case Group Six" series.
In the following years, I have been working hard in related fields, and it is only now that I am preparing for transformation and breakthrough, which is relatively late.
This is also related to Wang Qian's status and situation.
Previously, Wang Qian's position in Shanhe was not very stable, so she always put safety first when filming, and did not dare to try too many things, otherwise she would have a hard time if her new film failed.
Now, with the production of two phenomenal online dramas, "The Hidden Corner" and "White Night", Wang Qian has become the "No. 5" that Zuo Le personally admits, and she finally has the confidence to withstand failure.
Wang Qian was ready to make a breakthrough in transformation and received support and encouragement from many people, but no one expected that the new subject matter she would work on would be so different from her previous style.
Wang Qian's previous works, whether it is "The Hidden Corner" or "White Night", all have a cold and grim style with some darkness in reality.
Therefore, many people thought that Wang Qian would make realistic-themed works after her transformation.
Coupled with the fact that she is a female director, it is expected that she will shoot the popular elements such as female entrepreneurship, emotions, growth, family life, etc.
Shanhe does have several such excellent books, such as "Everything is Good", "Only Thirty", "Ode to Joy", etc.
However, what was unexpected was that Wang Qian did not choose these female-themed masterpieces, but chose a fresh and fresh school drama "The Best of Us".
This drama is a school drama as a whole, telling the high school life of several students. The plot has a little ambiguity, which makes people feel the beauty of youth.
There is nothing wrong with this drama, and it is a quality script recognized by the Shanhe Screenwriting Department, but the key is that it doesn’t match Wang Qian’s style.
She broke up the case and dismembered the body with her front foot, and filmed the sweet little ambiguity on campus with her back foot. Isn't she afraid of being seduced?
Faced with these doubts, Wang Qian became angry.
Who doesn't have a girlish heart? That rule says that I can't take pictures of campus freshness.
Besides, she is the only female director in the company. If she doesn’t shoot this drama, why should we let stinky old men like Xue Laogao do it?
Wang Qian's retort instantly silenced many people's voices.
In fact, there is nothing to say about this matter at all.
The reason why there are doubts about Wang Qian is more that Wang Qian's choice deviates too far from the theme target that everyone expected. It is surprising and that is why there is controversy.
Of course, this is also because Wang Qian is transitioning for the first time.
This is not surprising, considering that Zuo Le's first transition was to film "Family with Children" and then to work on the martial arts drama "Seven Swords".
The intensity is several times greater than that of Wang Qian.
Therefore, it also caused a frenzy of public opinion at that time, and was questioned by countless people. There was even a certain unpopular author + screenwriter who said that he would bet on Chixiang.
Later, the finished product of "Seven Swords" was released and hit major attractions across the country. It was hailed as the pinnacle of martial arts dramas in the past ten years and severely slapped those who doubted him in the face.
Wang Qian wants all these people to shut up. The best way is to make a good drama, produce a hit movie, and throw the results in those people's faces.
…………
The highlight characters of the drama "The Best of Us" are the male and female protagonists. By bringing these two characters to life and creating a sense of CP that satisfies the audience, this drama is not far behind.
Therefore, Wang Qian's first task is to choose two male and female protagonists that satisfy her.
The difficulty is that the actor's image must be lovable, have a boyish and girlish look, preferably with a little aura, and also require certain acting skills.
These conditions are easy to meet individually, but it is not so easy to combine them together.
Especially the girlish feeling, in fact, this is not a matter of age, but a kind of temperament.
The boy is sunny and cheerful, and the girl is pure and cute.
This is not just about finding two young actors of the same age. In today's information-based society, many teenagers are more mature and oily than adults.
And adult actors are even less good.
Don't look at the fact that in the entertainment industry, this person is promoting innocent girls and that is promoting fashionable teenagers all day long. They are actually marketed. They look fresh and fresh, but they are actually just to fool fans.
Girls and boys?
First remove the hyaluronic acid from your face and then...
Of course, this does not mean that there are no "real boys and girls" in the entertainment industry, whether they are characters from performances or not, but at least there are such things.
After putting on make-up, straightening up, and fine-tuning your acting skills, you can still meet the needs of the role.
Wang Qian did some searching and finally chose a freshman from Beijing Film Academy's acting department to play the male lead.
This guy is a pure amateur, he has never filmed before, and he has not finished his freshman year, so his acting skills can be imagined.
But he has a particularly big advantage. He is very handsome, has a clean temperament, and has a very sunny smile.
Wang Qian rarely acted as a "face-loving dog" and decided against all opinions to choose her as the male lead.
Acting skills can be improved slowly, but looks and temperament are too rare.
Besides, wasn't Shui Miaomiao an amateur with no acting skills at the beginning, but now she has become a star in the entertainment industry and even won the Queen's Award? Who knows that this young man will not become the second Shui Miaomiao.
Shui Miaomiao graduated from a dance academy, but this person is from a performance major...
After the male lead was finalized, Wang Qian found the female lead, an actor she had worked with before, who had played Zhou Shutong in "White Night", and her name was Tan Yun.
Tan Yun is currently the artist that Shanhe is focusing on, and it is said that she may be signed to Shanhe.
Not only had she acted in "White Nights" before, but she had also played the role of a noble lady in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Her popularity was pretty good and she barely made it to the second tier.
Tan Yun has been working for two years after graduation. Normally, her age is far different from that of a high school student. However, she has a baby face, petite body, and looks younger than an adult.
Wang Qian had a good impression of her before, so when there was no suitable candidate for the hostess, she tried to find her for an audition.
As a result, as soon as she put on the school uniform, she looked youthful and cute. Wang Qian immediately decided to cast Tan Yun to play the female lead.
The male and female protagonists were decided, and the requirements for other supporting roles were not so high, so it was naturally easier to find them. And because it is a school drama, most of the supporting roles are students, so many of the cast were newcomers.
Finally, when the cast was complete, everyone discovered that the male lead in "The Best of Us" is a newcomer, the female lead is barely a second-rate actor, and there are two veteran actors who play teachers, and the rest are all unknowns.
The previous lineup of "Dragon Gate Escort" was already "shabby", but "The Best of Us" was even worse than the former.
If it weren't for the luxurious lineup of "The Qin Empire - Fission", everyone would have thought that Shanhe was bankrupt and couldn't afford stars...
