"Unexpected Arrival" focuses on two key points, one is the growth of women, and the other is the display of human nature. Each of us ordinary people is the same in our daily lives, and when faced with subversive changes, our choices and behaviors often show our true humanity. At present, the urban emotional suspense drama "Unexpected" directed by Yan Yutong and starring Cai Wenjing and Peng Guanying is on the air. In an interview with the cover news reporter, director Yan Yutong shared his creative ideas.
The original cast generates novelty in the collision
"Unexpected" is created by the original team of the main creator of "Under the Sun" again, telling the story of Ruan Zhenzhen (played by Cai Wenjing), a "little princess" who is not familiar with the world in the eyes of outsiders, after encountering her husband's cheating and sudden death, leaving a huge debt, met the mysterious lawyer Gao Jun (played by Peng Guanying), and the two gradually moved from suspicion to trust and worked together to overcome the difficult story.
Yan Yutong revealed that when waiting for the broadcast of "Under the Sun", the main creators had already begun to discuss whether there was a chance to cooperate again, "The response from everyone was particularly enthusiastic, and I felt that the first part was particularly happy to cooperate, resulting in a good tacit understanding and mutual trust, and quite a sense of unfinished intention." ”

In his opinion, the character setting of the script this time is also in line with the age and temperament of the male and female protagonists, "Although the characters are different from the previous work, we also want the actors to play their potential and show the audience a different side of the actors." As a result, the original team returned, and the cooperation of "Unexpected" came naturally.
"Both of them are humble, smart, hardworking, and they like to export their ideas, collide with each other to generate a lot of new ideas, and we can collide with a lot of new things on top of the script." Yan Yutong specifically mentioned that Cai Wenjing and Peng Guanying played together, and the chemical reaction produced was particularly rare.
"A lot of things are produced by them playing against each other and stimulating each other. This chemical reaction and energy collision continues from "Under the Sun" to "Unexpected", and a lot of the fun and happiness of artistic creation actually arises in these places. As for whether the audience will feel the drama because the male and female protagonists have also starred in "Under the Sun", Yan Yutong admitted that he would be worried at first, but he believes that as the series deepens, this problem should be solved, and it will also bring different feelings to the audience.

Analyze the heart and truly show the growth of the character
At the beginning of "Unexpected", the full-time wife "Ruan Zhenzhen" played by Cai Wenjing lives a simple and happy life under the protection of her financial husband "Xu Yuning", and has even been somewhat out of touch with society. And all this disappeared with the accidental death of "Xu Yuning". In front of the "fallen princess" is the huge debt left by her husband and the third party who cheated before her death. Faced with this situation, although the heroine does not talk much, she has a lot of inner drama.
Talking about the reason for this setting, Yan Yutong explained: "When people face real death and the death of their loved ones, they don't have so many reactions at the first time, and they are ignorant. After that, I slowly and little by little realized the meaning of the word 'death' on my body, began to feel pain, began to realize my current situation, and then faced this crisis and hardship little by little, until I assumed my responsibility and completed a new growth of my soul. ”
Not only is the heroine's fate bumpy, but the double-faced lawyer 'Gao Jun' played by Peng Guanying is also an extremely complex character. Yan Yutong believes that this is the interesting thing about this drama, "It's like a spy war drama, a person, there is a layer of armor outside." Not only is the external true identity peeled away little by little, but more importantly, the true inner world is revealed little by little. ”
As the plot unfolds, the emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists are gradually enriched. "Before the two came into contact, life gave them heavy mental baggage and pressure, and after contact, they didn't simply hit it off." Yan Yutong said, "Their relationship is not very childish, silly and sweet, even if the two begin to have a good feeling, they must first format the spiritual baggage and shadows in their previous lives in their hearts, digest and dispose of them first, and then embrace them together in a very pure soul state in a relaxed posture." Yan Yutong hopes to express this emotional relationship between adults truly and believably through "Unexpected".
Faced with the question of netizens that "the plot progresses relatively slowly", Yan Yutong also gave his own response: "Just like Hegel said, everything that is realistic is in line with reason, and everything that is rational is in line with reality." Any reaction of audience friends, we are not to evaluate, but to respect and appreciate. I think that real emotions and real human nature change display have their own laws of change, and I personally hope that it is only true and credible to respect this law of change more. ”
In the face of all the evaluation of the audience, Yan Yutong said: not only will it be used to reflect on and review the creation gains and losses of this play, but also incorporate personal experience systems and evaluation systems to guide future creations.
