Not only "Hou Liangping" is there, but watching more episodes can find the familiar faces in the big drama "The Name of the People" two years ago popping up one after another. With the aura of the original team of "In the Name of the People", the spy war drama "Seamless" landed on Jiangsu Satellite TV on the 10th. After only two days of broadcasting, the hot discussion on the Internet began to emerge: How did the heroine die in the first place? Flashbacks and spatial transformations are also too many, right? How the main creator considered, on the afternoon of the 12th, Li Lu, the director of "Seamless", who is also "In the Name of the People", accepted a group interview with the national media.

"Brain burning is not the main label for us to define Seamless." In the face of being hotly discussed by the audience as "too brain-burning" after only two days of broadcasting, director Li Lu first clarified it. But he also admitted that there were a lot of characters in the first few episodes, but this was already the result of his adjustment when he and the screenwriter Daniel Zhang discussed the script together. "I think the first thing is not to have too many space-time, at most it is a composite space-time." Li Lu said that there are too many characters and story lines in the first few episodes that everyone has seen so far, mainly to set up a large enough innings, "so it may be that the audience must concentrate on watching to be able to seriously interpret and understand." ”

In Li Lu's view, TV dramas also have to lead some way. "Some Korean dramas have a particularly slow pace, and people who like Korean dramas have also watched them carefully." There are also some British and American dramas, compound time and space are very well done, like British and American dramas, or watch it. Li Lu admitted that when he made "Seamless", he and the editor Daniel Zhang hoped that its character and narrative would be innovative and creative. Li Lu said, "To what extent (specific brain burning) is burned, whether the audience can accept it or not, there is a measured grasp." "In his view, the innovations associated with it and the exploration of new expressions will also face some risks." We tried our best to adjust and try. ”
In terms of actor selection, Li Lu revealed that indeed, there are more than twenty large and small characters in "Seamless" who are actors from the previous "In the Name of the People", which he has called. Re-using Lu Yi as the male lead, Li Lu naturally has his own considerations. "Hou Liangping in 'The Name of the People' gives him a relatively one-sided role, and the senior group he plays this time is a façade, multiple personalities, and can express complex human nature." And Li Lu said bluntly that Lu Yi's line was planted with great care. "I'm happy with his performance."

After "The Name of the People" became popular, Li Lu said in an interview that he would only shoot once per genre, but it was clear that realistic themes were still the focus of Li Lu's attention. When talking about his future creations, Li Lu revealed that he had just signed "The World of Man" with the famous writer Liang Xiaosheng. This will be a realistic drama written in the 1970s to the present, as well as films such as "Graduation and We Go to The Soldiers", which write about military life, and "Red Notice", which have been put on the agenda.
