In 2018, the famous director Li Lu met "The World" by chance.
This work comes from the pen of the famous contemporary writer Liang Xiaosheng, which is a real sense of "chronological writing". It vividly and intuitively shows the life and development of the Chinese people in the past 50 years. This is a valuable understanding for people to look back at the development process of Chinese society and the mental journey of ordinary people.
After reading this huge work, Li Lu could not calm down in his heart for a long time, and this epic masterpiece was exactly what he had been looking for for many years.
Director Li Lu was thrilled! The surging in his heart made him eager to put this high-quality work on the screen to show the audience.
It can be said that "In the World" is the experience of a generation of the times, and it is also the people's summary of the forty years of reform and opening up. For modern people, such a work is too much needed.
Li Lu was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days, so he entrusted someone to coordinate with the author, Teacher Liang Xiaosheng.
When director Li Lu expressed to Teacher Liang Xiaosheng that he wanted to make "The World of Man" into a drama, he did not expect that his old man would approve with both hands.
Teacher Liang immediately wrote a letter of authorization, and said that he would not participate in the adaptation and secondary creation of the script at all, and it was up to the director and screenwriter to make a decision.
Li Lu, who got the authorization, was overjoyed, but then the screenwriter made him make a problem.
The screenwriter of such a work, if not the experience of reform and opening up, at least must understand the China of that era.
Just when Li Lu was thinking about it, Chen Daoming played a role in sending carbon in the snow.
It can be said, "Chen Daoming is the biggest contributor to this drama, without him, this drama would not be so smooth!"
Chen Daoming said to Li Lu: "There is one person who can definitely control the adaptation and creation of this play, and she is: Wang Haiyu.
Wang Haiyu is the screenwriter of hit dramas such as "The New Marriage Era" and "The Colonel's Daughter".
It can be said that portraying emotions, Wang Haiyu is an absolute master.
Wang Haiyu generally does not adapt other people's works, but after watching "The World of Man", she basically stood with director Li Lu in her heart. So Wang Haiyu took on this task with an excited heart.
The investor, the script, the screenwriter are completed, and the next step is to determine the actors and roles.
Director Li Lu's mentality is that this drama must be a powerful actor whose acting skills and word of mouth coexist.
Among several key roles, director Li Lu first thought of Yu Hewei, who felt that Zhou Bingyi's role was very suitable for Yu Hewei. The character of Zhou Bingyi in the play is an image of two sleeves and a clean wind and a righteous body, which is very suitable for Yu Hewei's screen image in recent years.
But when Hewei was on fire, the schedule was full. I really can't come up with the time, and it's a pity to miss it.
When the assistant director recommended dozens of actors, director Li Lu locked Xin Baiqing.
Xin Baiqing is also a real acting school, without any preparation, he received this play, in an emergency, he still interpreted Zhou Bingyi's integrity and responsibility, kindness and selfless image.
Later, after the drama was broadcast, many netizens said: "It turns out that Xin Baiqing is more suitable." ”
Yu Hewei, who missed the role, has become a drama chaser, always paying attention to the update of the series.
In fact, many actors in this drama are mistakenly added to it.
The actor of zheng juan's role is Yin Tao, after determining that she came to play Zheng Juan, director Li Lu began to hesitate, saying that he was direct, and he was a little regretful at that time.
Because the film began to develop from adolescence, and Yin Tao was already forty years old at the time. Therefore, director Li Lu is afraid that the sense of picture is far-fetched.
However, Yin Tao seems to be frozen in the stage of the girl's exquisite, and the effect of the deduction is really very appropriate.
Another yin and yang mistake is Yu Zhen, originally Luo Shibin's role was not his, including Zhou Rong's role, all belonged to the emergency rescue field.
It is said that at that time, many actors saw the script and said that the difficulty was a bit large, and they were afraid that they would not be able to act well and rejected a lot. At the critical moment, Li Lu found Yu Zhen. He is also an actor who has not played this type of role, but due to the tight time, Yu Zhen is considered to have joined the play as a rescue actor. He also said that he also wanted to bring everyone a Yu Zhen without a label!
Song Jia played the role of Zhou Rong and was completely attracted by the script. But she was also limited in her schedule at that time, and she had already entered the group partner Chen He to shoot "Dressage".
But she felt that it was a pity not to act in such a good drama, but fortunately, Zhou Rong's play could be properly adjusted and could be staggered with Song Jia's other play. Li Lu also felt that Zhou Rong's role was none other than Song Jia, and simply waited for Song Jia's "Dressage" to be completed before making up for Zhou Rong.
Fortunately, about a month after the start of filming, Song Jia came as promised, and it was also because of Song Jia's arrival that Sarina and Zhang Kaili joined.
Originally, Sarina and Zhang Kaili did not plan to star in "The World of Man", but director Li Lu identified them, and Li Lu could be described as three Gu Maolu for the two old drama bones. But the two teachers still hesitated, did not want to star and were embarrassed to refuse. It just dragged on. But after Song Jia came, a fire lit them.
Song Jia told the two old drama bones that such a play should be picked up, which is a work of great historical significance, and such a play is rare in recent years. Both public and private are very worthy of picking up.
Later, Zhang Kaili said to Sarina, let's take it, the director has come many times, just like this, the two were convinced by Song Jia's "a fire".
Therefore, this drama is full of powerful actors from the main actor to the supporting role, which is why the shooting time of the whole play is only 176 days.
The old drama bones play together, it is absolutely very brilliant, many people are not willing to go back even if the day's drama is finished, why? Because everyone is learning from each other, with the addition of these powerful actors, 80% of the plays are basically one-way. You can imagine the acting skills of the actors.
After the end of the day, everyone gathered together to discuss, not sparing any detail, and each actor thought it was best to do it.
Sometimes people will also put forward some of their own ideas, and then convince the screenwriter to make the plot get a better interpretation.
In such a very cohesive atmosphere, even director Li Lu could not hold back, playing the role of an anonymous businessman in the play, including the original author Liang Xiaosheng teacher also went abroad. However, his old man is not what he wants, it can be said that he was softly polished by director Li Lu and had to contribute his own image.
In the scene where Zhou Bingkun went to court, there was an old judge played by Teacher Liang Xiaosheng.
Afterwards, Teacher Liang also spat on himself: "It is really difficult to accept that I appear in front of so many people like an old look, which is really a disaster." "
To tell the truth, those who have watched this clip should know that Teacher Liang's acting skills are really good, not worse than professional actors, but gripping.
Therefore, it is such a shooting environment that makes this big drama successful in just 176 days. And it was a huge success!
Now "The World" has come to an end, this epic work. The history of 50 years of life changes tells us that the fate of a person's life is rooted in the original family; the future of the child is hidden in the words and deeds of the parents.
What we want to do is to be a family style, respect parents, love children, and pass on the virtues of warmth, goodness and positivity from generation to generation.
May our children live as heroes in ordinary life, with affection, righteousness, responsibility, and responsibility.
The birth of the drama "In the World", first of all, thanks to the original teacher Liang Xiaosheng, after several years of creation, not only lyrically expressed the "glory and dream" of China's social development, but also reflected the difficulty and complexity of the process of reform and opening up.
Secondly, thanks to the screenwriter Wang Haiyu, who spent three years with the director to adapt and polish the script. Director Li Lu poured all his efforts into it. Regardless of gains and losses, just to make this drama well.
Director Li Lu said in an interview: "The script was written in the collision for two or three years before it was basically finalized, and it was not fully revised until less than a month before the shutdown. "It is a habit for all the creators to read the script together after the end of the night, the story is in the same vein, and I will know the color when I read it." I saw that this episode fell off, so I typed it back and rewrote it. ”
"Talking on the phone with the screenwriter Wang Haiyu is not about ten minutes, but four or five hours, the phone is hot, not once a month, it is almost every day."
That's why the dramas directed by Li Lu are very resistant!
