In the online voting initiated, Zhang Ruonan and Chen Xingxu in "You Have Today" became the first CP at the beginning of 2024!
Looking at the voting list, there is no shortage of CPs in the hit "Flowers", and there are also CPs in the popular IP "Fairy Sword" drama, but in the end, the CP in the sweet drama "You Have Today" stood out.
It was both surprising and expected.
You Also Have Today" is directed by the well-known idol drama director Chen Mingzhang. This director, you may be unfamiliar, but you must have seen or heard of his idol dramas, such as "The Prince Becomes a Frog", "The Star of the Sheep", "Fate I Love You", etc., which have long become classics.
Although today's idol dramas have long been rotten on the street and have become synonymous with vulgarity, they are still emerging in an endless stream, whether it is a current puppet or an ancient puppet, the audience still has a great demand. However, with the upgrading of aesthetics, the audience's requirements and standards for this kind of drama are getting higher and higher. As the main creator, it is natural that he also needs to be upgraded. If it is still a conventional and cliché plot and character design, then it will be difficult to attract people, and it will not be able to get a good reputation and **.
But for this "You Have Today", whether it is word-of-mouth or **, it has performed well.
Director Chen Mingzhang still brought some freshness and made people shine, and finally made the "Yao Money Tree" CP composed of Cheng Yao and Qian Heng in the play win everyone's love and recognition, and became the first CP at the beginning of the year.
As a guest to answer the research institute, in an interview, the leading actor Zhang Ruonan said bluntly:
"(Cheng Yao and Qian Heng) are like happy enemies, they don't know each other if they don't fight, and then after the two of them met by mistake, and then by chance, the two of them shared a house, and they slowly grew up in this shared housing process, that is, they accepted each other. ”
For this drama, her evaluation is:"It's light, it's light comedy, it's delicious. ”
It is precisely this kind of emotional experience that is "accidental" and full of comedy that makes this drama easy to eat, and there is no very abusive content on the market, so it is naturally easy to eat.
Of course, in terms of identity, at the beginning, it was an unequal relationship between superiors and subordinates, but as the plot developed, the two began to fight side by side and achieve each other, rather than the so-called flattering and pandering, such a more equal emotional relationship was recognized and appreciated by the current audience.
And this is also director Chen Mingzhang's new understanding of love, after filming so many classic idol dramas, and when he reaches the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he is also trying to break through and innovate.
"In real love, the progression and change of the characters is to think for each other, be influenced by each other, and grow together. To some extent, living as each other, I think is the greatest romance. ”
Director Chen Mingzhang said.
This is also the core of love in "You Have Today".
Not only in terms of characters, the design and shaping are more three-dimensional, but also in terms of emotional relationships, and in the end, it is a two-way rush.
This is undoubtedly the love that the public yearns for.
In an interview, Zhang Ruonan also said that he was moved by this evenly matched love.
"I think a good relationship will drag people upward, not backward compatibility, when you manage yourself well, love will come naturally. ”
And this is the so-called mutual achievement, rather than any attachment, climbing and the like, for reality, this is undoubtedly more valuable, and it is also what everyone expects.
Good CPs should appreciate each other!
Of course, whether it is Cheng Yao or Qian Heng, they both have their own clear character growth arcs, and the two actors both perform and cooperate tacitly and naturally, and the CP sense formed is even more delicious.
In addition to the natural sense of CP, the two actors also put a lot of effort into the better presentation of the role.
For example, in order to highlight the professionalism of the character, Chen Xingxu first went to the law firm to experience life, and then practiced his lines hard to improve his speaking speed. And Zhang Ruonan will add some funny and exaggerated small designs to the character, like Cheng Yao's "squirting" action during the play.
Of course, it is inseparable from the director's design and training.
From the perspective of character setting, the male and female protagonists are "ice and fire", and this is a natural fit with the two actors, which is also recognized by the director.
The director said that both Chen Xingxu and Zhang Ruonan are very similar to the two characters, and the texture of the characters is integrated with the characters, and you can achieve the desired effect without too much force.
"I think the two of them are very similar to the characters, Chen Xingxu doesn't have to act, he looks like this person when he stands there, and he himself graduated from Chinese opera and has strong acting ability. Zhang Ruonan has her own wild power, and it is also particularly suitable for Cheng Yao's character background. ”
Chen Mingzhang, who was born as a theater director, also let the two actors practice theater improvisation at the beginning.
On the one hand, it is to understand the actor's performance style, and on the other hand, it is also to allow the actor to think about the role.
Although it was the first time to cooperate, after such a two-way understanding and familiarization, everyone quickly invested in it after the official start of filming, without any discomfort, but with a bit of tacit understanding.
Zhang Ruonan described Cheng Yao in the play as like a vitality puppy, and Qian Heng like a cat, such a combination of cats and dogs, although they were noisy and noisy at the beginning, and there were many disputes, but they gradually grew up with each other in work and life, and finally achieved each other, achieved the pinnacle of meeting, and also achieved a beautiful marriage.
Idol dramas just disappear, but they can't stay the same, they need to maintain their own charm, and they also need to be able to keep pace with the times. can't stick to the rules, it needs to be real and fresh, it needs to vibrate with the times, share the frequency with the audience, and have a new expression, then such idol dramas will naturally not be eliminated, and will be favored by more and more audiences and go further and further!
