On the second day of the beginning of 2022, the good news came that the new drama "Welcome" in the noonday sun was completed.
Some people must be surprised that a greeting can also be used as a play title.
In fact, the name of the show when it was originally filed was "My Superhero", and it was also used when it was launched in August, and it was changed to "Welcome" halfway through.
The hero in the play is a hotel porter, and the most commonly spoken sentence is "Welcome", and the reason why "My Superhero" was changed to its current name is related to this line.
So what kind of drama is this?
01 Positive inspirational plot
"Welcome" is based on the original novel "My Gestapo Bear" by the author Bao Whale Whale, whose name may not be familiar to some people, but if you have seen "Thirty-Three Days of Lost Love", you will know that she is the original author of this work.
The male protagonist of the play is named Zhang Guangzheng, a northeastern guy, who works as a porter in a luxury hotel in Beijing, and usually has no excessive requirements for life.
One day, he met the flight attendant Zheng Youen at the hotel, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suddenly had the greed of the toad who wanted to eat swan meat, but considering the gap between the two, he was ashamed of himself.
What to do? Zhang Guangzheng was a little reluctant, so he began to find a way to get close to the goddess.
He chose to start from Zheng Youen's mother, and deliberately joined Zheng Youen's mother's square dance team, hoping to take advantage of this little by little.
With the increasing contact, he was gradually infected by the courage and love of this group of big mothers for life, so he began to examine himself and regain his pursuit of career and life.
At this time, the hotel launched a "flash moment" plan to help employees develop, and with the encouragement of friends, Zhang Guangzheng also passed the assessment to join in.
Since then, he seems to have discovered a vast world, and after unremitting efforts, the distance between him and the goddess Zheng Youen has also begun to narrow step by step.
Gradually, his persistence and courage not only changed Zheng Youen, who was arrogant and arrogant, but also changed Wang Niulang, who did not dare to face the true heart, Chen Jingdian, who gave up the examination for examination because of fear of failure, and others.
In the end, Zhang Guangzheng achieved a better self and also harvested happy love.
In fact, it seems that this story is not new, and even a bit cheesy, nothing more than how the ugly duckling transforms into a swan, but after seeing that it is produced by the noonday sun, I believe that many people will immediately rise in their hearts with unlimited expectations for this drama.
02 Strong choreographer lineup
The director is the soul of a drama, and this time "Welcome" is Li Xue, one of the most outstanding directors in the team of Chinese TV drama directors.
He has long been known for his two independently directed works, The Pretender and The Surgeon.
In addition, there are "Langya List", "Langya List Wind Rising Changlin", "No War in Peking" directed with Kong Sheng, and "Dajiang Dahe 2" directed with Huang Wei.
How, such a director to work on "Welcome", just by this name makes people put down half of their hearts.
Screenwriting is also crucial for a play, "Welcome" has two screenwriters, one is the original author Bao Whale himself, and the other is the industry's famous Yuan Bullet.
The name Yuan Bullet sounds so shocking, many people can't imagine that such a lethal name is actually used by a girl.
The girl graduated from the Department of Chinese of Wuhan University, and in her early years, the novel "National Anthem" she composed was selected as one of the 100 excellent books recommended by the Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Education and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to teenagers across the country, and was adapted into a TV series of the same name.
Her most notable works as screenwriter are "Ode to Joy" and "Ode to Joy 2", both of which are well known.
03 Surprising cast
Huang Xuan, playing male number one Zhang Guangzheng.
Far from it, in the past 2021, Huang Xuan has two big dramas that have attracted the attention of the audience, one is "Mountains and Seas", and the other is "Wind Rises Luoyang", which is still popular.
Perhaps it is because of the great success of "Mountains and Seas" that Huang Xuan is favored by the noonday sun, so there is this second cooperation.
Bai Baihe, playing the female number one Zheng Youen.
Previously, Bai Baihe and Jin Dong had starred in the noonday sun's "Surgical Storm", and the director of this drama also happened to be Li Xue, it seems that the two cooperated very tacitly, so they joined forces again after a few years.
At the same time, Bai Baihe is also the star of "Thirty-Three Days of Lost Love", and has had a pleasant cooperation with Bao Jingjing, the original author of "Welcome".
Bai Baihe has achieved remarkable achievements in recent years, and the movies "Catch the Demon" and "Get Out of the Egg" starring in the past few years have received high box office, and the movie "Door Lock" that is currently being screened has a good reputation.
Bai Yufan, playing an important role chen Jingdian.
Bai Yufan once starred as Ma Debao in "Mountains and Seas", and is the younger brother of Ma Defu, played by Huang Xuan in the play, and this is the second cooperation between the two.
Zhu Yuchen, playing an important role in Wang Niulang.
In 2009, Zhu Yuchen was selected by hundreds of media outlets as the new "four big and small students" in the mainland, starring in Zhao Baogang's youth inspirational dramas "Struggle" and "Who Decides My Youth", as well as excellent works such as "Home, NTh Power" and "Once Upon a Time in China".
In addition, the cast also gathered famous golden supporting roles such as Yang Kun, Yue Yang and Ding Jiali, who had worked with Noonday Sunshine.
Yang Kun has attracted attention since the beginning of "Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law", and over the years, as a golden green leaf, she has created countless classic mother images and won the reputation of "Ratings Hot Mom", before that, she also cooperated with noonday sunshine in "Ode to Joy 2" to play Ying Qinma.
Needless to say, Yue Yang can be said to be deeply cooperative with the noonday sun, such as Director Liang in "The Pretender", the big gold tooth in "The Spirit of the Ghost Blowing Lantern", and Zhao Juemin in "I Am Yu Huanshui".
Ding Jiali's collaboration with Noonday Sun dates back to the mountain film era, and in 2005 she starred as the big black guy in "Breaking into the Guandong" directed by Zhang Xinjian and Kong Sheng.
Other actors include Chai Biyun, Xue Haojing, Zhang Jianning and so on.
See, the main creative lineup of this drama can be simply summarized as: the director of "The Pretender", "Surgical Storm" + the screenwriter of "Ode to Joy" and "Langya List" + the starring of "Mountains and Seas" and "Surgeon".
Basically, it is a large collection of elite soldiers in the noonday sun, excellent people do excellent things, I believe that "Welcome" will definitely be a hit again.
