Innovate to create campus "heart" suspense

Before the start of today's broadcast, "Coward" once again released a special series of main creators, and the original author and screenwriter Zheng Zhi, director Zhang Xiaobo and other members of the main creative team spoke out to explain the core expression.

In addition to the beauty, the profound intention in the original work is also what the creators want to focus on film and television. "We have more or less made more or less cowardly decisions, but it is precisely because we are afraid of something that the word bravery makes sense." Screenwriter Zheng Zhi's exposition allows the audience to have a better understanding of the title, that is, "Cowardly Ghost" represents the teenagers represented by Qin Li (Ou Hao), Huang Shu (Wang Yuwen), Feng Xuejiao (Zhou Zhi), and Wang Wenyuan (Hou Wenyuan) in the process of growing up because of "timidity" leaving hidden pains that cannot be said to people, to reveal the value expression behind it: through the choices of "retreat" and "concealment" that most people can understand, they can effectively show the rarity of "lone braves". As director Zhang Xiaobo said: "We want everyone to step on the cowards, and this is what I think the scene of "Cowards" ultimately wants to achieve." ”
