Which drama have you been watching lately? Is it Zhang Songwen and Yao Anna's "Ice Hunting"?
Zhou Yiwei starred in "The Case of Tang Di Gong"? Or is it Zhang Jiayi and Chen Hao's "Happy Parents Group"? I don't know if you've noticed, national dramas are becoming more and more games for old players. Criminal investigation dramas, costume detectives, urban family dramas, ancient puppet dramas, and period dramas represented by "South to North" where Yu Wen is still alive occupy almost half of the domestic screens.
And new themes and genres are becoming more and more rare. Seeking stability seems to have become a common choice for creators of national dramas. Until, the man who galloped the Spring Festival stalls, shot again - on February 28th, that is, the 28-episode new drama that will be broadcast tonight, there is a soul to wear, there is a racing car, there is inspiration, and a little fantasy, perhaps, it will be your dish - "Flying Life Love", that is, the drama version of "Flying Life".
only appeared in a few scenes in "Flying Life 2", but he played Hu Xianxu, the first place of the new generation of drivers, and became Chi Zhendong.
Wang Yanlin, as Zhang Chi.
The film version of Shen Teng, Fan Chengcheng, Sun Yizhou, Yin Zheng, Yu Shi and Liu Haoran did not come. But the man behind "Flying Life" is here - Han Han, the producer of this show. Produced by Tingdong Pictures. Every time I see a work with the label of "spin-off", I always chuckle and beat a drum in my heart - it won't be to make money. In particular, the box office of "Flying Life 2" has exceeded 3.1 billion.
It is foreseeable that as soon as the series is launched tonight, there will be a lot of controversy associated with the sound of contrast. But this time, I am willing to cheer for Han Han's spin-off drama. is a sports comedy theme, a niche track that Chinese dramas rarely pay attention to.
There are very few national dramas that make good sports comedy themes. And Han Han at least took his "Flying Life" and went to the runway. Regardless of success or failure, it can at least be confirmed that the drama version of "Flying Life" is worthy of a round of applause. 1. Story: The young Zhang Chi's soul wears Lin Zhendong? A prequel to Flying Spur 1? It's a bit interesting to tell the story of the drama version, which also starts with Zhang Chi (played by Wang Yanlin) being seriously injured after flying off the track.
But the next story, instead of going backwards, went forward.
Because Zhang Chi accidentally awakened in the 21-year-old Lin Zhendong (played by Hu Xianxu), that is, "re-reading the file".
It's really cool. After all, 21-year-old Lin Zhendong wants money and talent. The super-rich second generation is simply a life that many people dream of. At one point, this is not a life of relaxation. There is another problem, Lin Zhendong is not the Lin Zhendong who competed with Zhang Chi for the championship in "Flying Life 1", and Zhang Chi at this time is not the Zhang Chi who was canceled and the latest score was sixth, but the fledgling Zhang Chi with unlimited hope. So the suspense appeared: how to stop the 24-year-old self from repeating the mistakes of the 24-year-old Lin Zhendong?
Combined with the trailer, it is not difficult to find out the three major highlights of the drama version: First, it is funny. The biggest reason why "Flying Life 2" can help Han Han Yixue "Four Seas" is to find back the "cold humor". Compared with many domestic comedies that rely on exaggerated performances to create comedic effects, Han Han is better at making you laugh seriously. There are not many domestic comedies that really have this kind of skill. The drama version of "Flying Life", as a work produced by Han Han and produced by Tingdong, is of course impossible to give up this skill. The setting of the young man Zhang Chi "soul wearing" Lin Zhendong is like Han Han's idea when I think about it. Seeing that Chi Zhendong played by Hu Xianxu was dragging the machine in the trailer, the sense of comedy was directly full.
In addition to setting funny, Han Han also found natural comedians, such as Yan Hexiang, who has a lot of scenes, and Qin Xiaoxian, who is a pure cameo. In short, being funny should be funny. The second is burning. As a racing driver director, the car as a carrier has been throughout Han Han's films. The male protagonist Xu Tailang in "Riding the Wind and Waves" is a professional racing driver. When it came to "Flying Life", Han Han simply filmed the theme of racing. After the two "Flying Life" series, the audience also felt that it is different to shoot racing cars inside, and the racing scenes in the two movies are really shocking and amazing.
In order to let the audience feel the charm of racing more realistically, he took the crew to the Bayinbrook Grassland, the most beautiful track in Xinjiang, for real-life shooting. In the trailer of the drama version of "Flying Life", there are also a lot of racing scenes, and many scenes are adrenaline-pumping to watch, making people intuitively feel the fierce excitement of racing.
As a racing-themed drama supervised by Han Han, it is difficult not to burn. The third is dreams. Many viewers who watched "Flying Life 2" unconsciously moistened their eyes after the hilariousness. Han Han is probably the director who is the best at filming dreams and is not embarrassed to shoot in China. Anyway, there are few people in my memory who are more afraid than him, welcome to add. It's just that compared to the dreams of middle-aged people told in the movie version.
The drama version is undoubtedly about the dream of youth. But when Lin Zhendong said "Feichi will no longer be a small team in the future", when the hands of the team partners overlapped, when the sentence "I want to change my life against the sky" was shouted, the infectious force was still there.
If the movie version is about the frustrated life of a middle-aged man. Then the drama version is about the enthusiasm of teenagers, chasing dreams, and even if they can "re-read the file", the regrets of youth are still difficult to make up. Finally, the episodes can also be watched as prequels to the film version. So how is Han Han going to round the finale of the drama version, so that the story logic of the drama version and the film version is self-consistent, that is, the finale of the drama version cannot affect the direction of the story of the film version?
This may be the biggest suspense in the drama version. 2, Han Han: Saying that Han Han is a circle of money will ruin the IP of "Flying Life" worth billions, I don't believe Han Han, of course people are no strangers. At the age of 17, he became a sensation with ** "Triple Gate", and has since become the king of topics. After starting his professional racing career in 2003, he won many successes, becoming the only Chinese professional racing history to win both track and rally championships. As a director, he directed works such as "After the End" and "Riding the Wind and Waves". But what really made him enter the first-line directors' club was undoubtedly the "Flying Life" series.
The first "Flying Life" has a box office of 1.7 billion, and the second part has broken 3.1 billion, and it is likely to reach 3.4 billion in the end, just twice as much as the first one. The last time a sequel of this level achieved a big leap at the box office, only Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown". If you extrapolate by analogy, the box office prospect of "Flying Life 3" is, of course, a sea of stars. That's why I don't believe it, some people say, the TV version is a circle of money. In your case, in order to circle the money of a TV version and destroy the huge commercial value of an ascending IP, do you want to do it? Han Han won't do it either.
As the producer of the series, Han Han himself not only has control over the plot, visited the crew for filming many times, but also brought the same racing team and technical consultants as the film version. The drama version is not a ticket. The director of the drama version is not Han Han, but it looks reliable, it is the director of "Full-time Master" November.
The director is good at competitive genres, hot-blooded elements and comedic storytelling. The first spin-off drama that Han Han personally did, produced by Tingdong, directed by the right way, overturned, I think it's difficult. 3, actors: Hu Xianxu and Wang Yanlin take the lead, 3 powerful factions help out, or is there no heroine? The drama version starring Hu Xianxu and Wang Yanlin , the main supporting roles are Yu Entai , Yan Hexiang , Qu Zheming , Chen Yuxian , Kan Qingzi , Wang Yinglu , Zhou Tie , Gao Huayang , etc., there are old faces of Han Han movies, and there are also powerful factions who help. This cast, although not super luxurious, is also solid and worth looking forward to. The most important thing is that the character and the actor fit well enough. Let's talk about the two leading actors first. The first place, Hu Xianxu. The two actors I haven't seen enough of in the film version are the ace maintenance worker played by Liu Haoran and the new generation of car kings played by Hu Xianxu.
Although Shen Teng's team won the championship, the first driver was still played by Hu Xianxu's Liu Shihao. Hu Xianxu glanced at it, but he played the style of a genius driver. Chi Zhendong's difficult role is handed over to him, no problem. Many viewers noticed that he was the male protagonist in "Chess Soul". But I started to pay attention to this young acting school from the little emperor in "Langya List 2".
Hu Xianxu's acting skills can be regarded as a school of their own, standing out from a group of new actors and finding a path of his own. can act in comedy and inner drama, there is no shortage of large traffic in national dramas, but there is a lack of acting skills and a new generation of small students with characteristics, Hu Xianxu is one of them. In the trailer, in many clips, Hu Xianxu still continues his performance style, with a cheerful side, it can also be very burning, and the role of Chi Zhendong also has a lot of room to play, I hope he can also have a good performance and amaze the audience. Let's talk about Wang Yanlin. Wang Yanlin is also an old acquaintance of everyone, since he participated in "Heartless Mage", his comedy performance has become popular out of the circle, and with his out-of-the-circle performance in variety shows, he has become even more popular all over the country.
It's a pity that after that, he tried to take the tough guy route, but his development was a little weak, and there were not many new masterpieces. This time he's back to comedy, which I think is wise, but also challenging. The first contributor to the success of "Flying Life" is Shen Teng. Because of the wonderful sparks generated by "cold humor" and "Teng comedy", the series has taken a long time. Wang Yanlin has a set of comedies, but if he wants to play Zhang Chi, which Shen Teng has played, it is inevitable to be compared.
Hopefully he can perform his own style. The starring roles are worth looking forward to, and the supporting roles are not ambiguous, and the performances of the 4 supporting roles are worth paying attention to. First, Yu Entai Many people think of "Wulin Gaiden" when they see Yu Entai, but they think that he can only act in comedy, which is somewhat underestimating him. Zhang Yi in "The Vertical and Horizontal of the Great Qin Empire" and Yan Shu in "Qingping Le" are actually wonderful.
But his resources over the years are somewhat indescribable, and I personally think that some scenes are a waste of his acting skills. Fortunately, he played a lot of Wei Qianli scenes in this play, and there were also many highlight scenes in the trailer.
In many works on the theme of competition, this kind of Bole-style role is very outstanding, and I hope that this time Yu Entai will make everyone's eyes shine again. Second, although Zhou Tie may not know his name very well, as soon as his image comes out, everyone will immediately remember it, as if they have watched which drama he participated in. Especially in spy war dramas, whether it is the modern spy war drama "Opponent" or the ** spy war drama "Father's Identity", he has an excellent performance. In the costume historical drama "Da Qin Fu", he played Yingfu, with his rugged appearance and fierce personality, which are unforgettable.
In my heart, he is an actor whose acting strength is far greater than the first degree, although he plays supporting roles, he is very professional, and he has nothing to say in every role. This time will not be an exception. Third, an old acquaintance from Gao Huayang's Han Han movie came. Since "After the End", he has appeared in Han Han's movies again and again, so that everyone thinks he is a pure comedian.
But in fact, Gao Huayang is the champion driver of the Chinese Touring Car Championship and the main driver of the Shanghai Volkswagen 333 Team, which can be called the new generation of idol drivers in the Chinese racing industry, and is used by Han Han as a comedian.
With him, first, the comedy performance is guaranteed, and second, the racing scene is guaranteed. Looking for a more professional driver? It's hard. Fourth, although Wang Yinglu has many more actresses in the drama version, from the perspective of the role, it still continues the style of Han Han's "Flying Life" series, and there is no real heroine. In Douban's actor ranking, Chen Yuxian, the top actress, is Liufan, and you know that the love scene is definitely not the point. Among the existing actresses, I am still looking forward to Sister Bao'er the most, ah no, Wang Yinglu. Wang Yinglu is one of the few actresses who turned over with her acting skills, and before the broadcast of "Under the Stranger", many people complained about her role as Sister Bao'er, and how many people slapped her face after the broadcast.
Among the domestic entertainment actresses, there are very few beautiful actresses who really have a cute temperament, and she is one of the more brilliant ones. The facial expressions are extremely not rich, but they are serious and lively, and when they play Sister Bao'er, they can always feel a high-level sense of humor. Now Wang Yinglu's question is how to break through the classic role of Sister Bao'er, after all, this drama is playing with Sister Bao'er - "This time, our team only announced a mysterious driver." "What's mysterious, isn't this-Sister Bao'er? ”
Hahahaha, it is worthy of being supervised by Han Han. 4, success or failure: Can competitive comedy break out of a way, the most difficult thing to watch Han Han's drama version may be how to shoot the dreams of young Zhang Chi and young Lin Zhendong. Except for love, and blood, these people have nothing. Of course, except for the super-rich second-generation Lin Zhendong, he still has money. It is precisely one by one "relaxation", constantly stirring, struggling tenaciously, and refusing to admit defeat. That's why there is this champion wall in "Flying Life 2".
How can you tell if a competitive action comedy is passing? I think it's a matter of whether it can convey a belief in sports. And what we want to see – real, solid flesh and blood. Whether it is a young person or a middle-aged person, it represents the self that we may not be able to do, but still want to pursue on the career path.
Compared with the success or failure of the drama version, I value its courage more. Compared with the current market, there are all "traffic dramas". The drama version of "Flying Life" chooses a niche story, and there have been no successful cases before. But in fact, before the "Flying Life" series, there were no successful competitive comedies in the domestic film industry. It can be said that there is no such road in the world, and Han Han ran out of the road with Shen Teng.
Then the suspense of the drama version is: this time, can Han Han take Hu Xianxu and them, and then run out of a way for the domestic competitive comedy TV series.
