On November 10, the official website of the TV series "The World of Two People" was updated to have a specific premiere time, which is November 16, 2021. This means that the TV series can basically be confirmed to premiere on Oriental Satellite TV on November 16. The drama was once called "Shanghai for Two People", which also tells the story of the post-80s working hard in Shanghai, and is broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV, which is simply a favorable time and place. The drama starred Guo Jingfei and Wang Luodan, and all indications are that this "World of Two People" will be a blockbuster drama.
Let's start with the story. This is the most important reason why the veteran editor thinks that "The World of Two People" will become a word-of-mouth and ratings hit. As of now, the TV series has released a trailer of nearly 4 minutes. In this trailer, the audience can see the male protagonist played by Guo Jingfei and the female protagonist played by Wang Luodan, how to work hard in life, how to work hard in a city like Shanghai, how to get into trouble because of the problem of the house, how to live in a temporary canopy, how to imagine tomorrow, how to be hit by reality again and again, and so on. In a word, the plot trailer for the audience can sting everyone, especially the "we" who go to the big city to drift.
At present, this TV series has a plot synopsis, you can also refer to it:
One is Wenjia, the child of Shanghai Zhiqing, and the other is Dongyang, a young man from a small town in northeast China. By chance, they met in Shanghai, and it was the trick of fate that turned the first meeting between the two into a separation of life and death... The experience of life and death is just the beginning of everything, in the city of Shanghai: workplace, emotions, survival, career, dreams, temptations and a series of real-life problems are the biggest tests they will face. The charm of the magic city attracted not only them, but also the washing of their souls. Faced with a variety of choices that make the fates of these two young people intertwined, what is true happiness? Perhaps everyone will find their own answer from Wenjia and Dongyang's experience.
According to the official material content that has been exposed earlier in the drama, the TV series "The World of Two People" is based on Zhou Yifei's novel "Shanghai of Two People". This novel was put on the drama stage in 2011 and won the first prize of the 26th Tian Han Award for Script. The script award of the Tian Han Award has always been very high-taste, and being able to win this award basically proves that this work is indeed very good. We can even think that this work has a realistic intensity and can let a large number of audiences see the reality of life. At the level of the content of the play, "The World of Two People" is very exciting.
Let's talk about the cast. Guo Jingfei's male protagonist and Wang Luodan's female protagonist are typical acting schools. In the plot trailer that has been exposed, Guo Jingfei's imagination of the future in the role, the decadence of being repeatedly hit by reality, the tears after the loss of love, etc., all of which are moving. Guo Jingfei, a mature actor, can present the decadence, self-abandonment and hard struggle with fate of middle-aged men. This is a reassuring actor. It can even be said that this "Yu Huanshui" will continue to bring the audience a shocking power in the performance.
The heroine Wang Luodan is also a real acting artist. In the trailer plot, Wang Luodan is also a dilemma among the characters. On the one hand, the frustrated Shanghai wandering boyfriend, on the other hand, the opposition in the family, such a woman who has just entered the workplace, in love and marriage, how will she choose? Wang Luodan brings the audience a heart-warming role, she has a strong side, but also has her own warmth. And such a role, in later life, will encounter more ups and downs. Within the story, the characters are destined to be moving.
The third is the writer and director. Teacher Yan Gang served as the chief screenwriter of the play, and Meng ji served as the general director of the play. Screenwriters and directors have long been old acquaintances. As early as 2004, they collaborated on the TV series "With You", which maintained a super good audience reputation score of 8.7 points. Old screenwriters, and old directors, artistically, can best reassure the audience. Why? Not only professional and authentic, but also the old screenwriters and directors are disdainful of those rotten contents, and it is more likely to focus on the art itself. This TV series, the more life, the more real.
Finally, let's talk about the show's 8K "full-process production". What does that mean? 8K, that is, the resolution of 7680x4320. Audiences who are not familiar with the film and television shooting field may not understand what 8K is. Let's put it this way, put this TV series on the big screen of the movie theater to watch, even the hair on Wang Luodan's face can be seen. To put it bluntly, the clarity is incomparable to ordinary film and television dramas, and it is infinitely close to the picture that the human eye can see (it is close, not reciprocal).
What is "full-process production"? The entire process, from the shooting period, pre-production and post-production period, to the finished film output, is done using 8K equipment and the post-production platform supported by the rendering factory. In the past film and television drama works, there will be some links using 8K. This time, in "The World of Two People", it is the application of the whole process. Such clarity, obviously played on the large screen in the living room, is far more shocking than the small screen of the computer and the screen of the mobile phone. Oriental Satellite TV chose to premiere this TV series, which is also a very good escort for the aesthetic taste of its own TV station.
Based on the above, I think this "World of Two People" will become a double hit in terms of ratings and word of mouth. Of course, this is still my personal speculation. What is the quality of the play, we will wait for the show to start broadcasting, and then we will discuss it. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
