"Crazy" has ended, but the heat does not seem to have stopped.
From the previous shouting of the whole network "It is recommended to check Zhang Songwen, it is not like acting", to actor Tan Zhuo ridiculing "It is recommended to check Zhang Yi".
Then to support Gao Qiqiang's counterattack on life and the same "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that has been sold out.
and Gao Qilan, a cold beauty who is sought after by the whole network and has a superior temperament.
It is not difficult to see that although the TV series is over, the audience has not yet come out.
Perhaps, a high-quality drama should have such an effect.
Today, Uncle Fan wants to talk to you about the story behind this drama, and compared to the plot, these things are equally wonderful.
First, the yin and yang have created the fit between the actor and the role.
In "Crazy", Gao Qiqiang, played by Zhang Songwen, has had several states.
For example: when he was still selling fishmen, he was cautious and careful, and for the sake of his younger brother and sister, he could put down his self-esteem.
Especially when sending TV to the Tang Xiaolong brothers and begging if they would move away from the original booth, the image of the little person was instantly vivid;
After holding Bai Jinhan and entering the construction group, the power allowed him to pick up his self-esteem and have the capital to climb upward, and the sentence "Find Lao Mo and tell him that I want to eat fish" is enough to show his ruthlessness and arrogance.
After that, he became the boss of the real estate industry in Jinghai City, a generous and kind entrepreneur in the eyes of others, and "benevolence and charity" became his new character.
I have to say that Zhang Songwen is really accurate about Gao Qiqiang, a villain who climbed up from the bottom.
But surprisingly, the director of this drama did not choose him at the beginning.
Previously, a big V posted that the double starring was "Zhang Yi + Yang Yang".
Before the preparation, director Xu Jizhou thought about Zhang Songwen, because the latter's eye drama in "Sweeping Black Decisive Battle" is very tense, and this performance is just in line with Gao Qiqiang in "Crazy".
So, at that time, the crew sent a script and invitation to Zhang Songwen's team.
Unfortunately, Zhang Songwen was filming another drama at that time, and when he was filming, he had a principle, that is, he would not accept other scripts and devote himself wholeheartedly.
In this way, the director who did not get a reply mistakenly thought that the other party was unwilling to act, so he found an artist he was familiar with to play Gao Qiqiang.
And shortly before the start of filming, Zhang Songwen had the opportunity to meet Xu Jizhou, and the two chatted about the script all night "Gao Qiqiang".
During the period, Zhang Songwen not only performed live, but also talked about his understanding of "Gao Qiqiang", which made Xu Jizhou very satisfied, and then he called the producer, "I want to use Zhang Songwen!" ”
Compared with Zhang Songwen, actor Gao Ye is simply the "chosen sister-in-law".
In "Crazy", sister-in-law Chen Shuting definitely has a lot of scenes, and it requires super aura and acting skills to hold it.
At the beginning, director Xu Jizhou thought of Liu Tao, after all, she has played many female bully roles over the years, with her own royal sister aura.
But it's a pity that she doesn't have a schedule!
After that, the director found Che Xiao and Xu Dongdong, but they were reluctant to give up because of the schedule.
In the end, the crew recommended the actor Gao Ye to the director.
Interestingly, when Gao Ye came to the crew for an interview, director Xu Jizhou was really not optimistic about her at all, thinking that her appearance was relatively thin and lacked that kind of strong female aura.
But when Gao Ye changed into Chen Shuting's dress, a shot made people instantly feel the charm of this "strong sister-in-law".
The director even shouted directly, "That's it."
In addition to Gao Ye, actors like Jia Bing and Li Jian were personally selected by the director.
Especially Jia Bing, he and Xu Jizhou were friends, and after being invited by the latter, they passed very quickly, but fortunately, his performance was much stronger than in comedy, which was also a surprise.
Second, "blind box" filming, the director does not give all the scripts, and the actors add their own plays
The good-looking of "Crazy" is largely due to the "reversal" and high energy of the plot.
And this has a lot to do with the "blind box" shooting mentioned by the creators in the live broadcast.
Hao Ping, who plays the criminal police captain Cao Chuang in the play, once said in the live broadcast that the script he got at the beginning was only 11 episodes, and at that time he still felt that his role as Cao Chuang was a good policeman.
Even director Xu Jizhou's reply was, "Yes, yes, yes!" You play a good cop! ”
As a result, on the day of the finale, Hao Ping was "suddenly" notified that he had two more scenes, and as soon as he got the script, he was shocked, originally thinking that he would go offline as a "good policeman", but instantly became a "ghost in the police station".
Like Hao Ping, actor Li Jian, who plays Li Xiang, also "spit" on the script, "It's all five episodes and five episodes, so I was very surprised when I learned the ending of the master." ”
The most "painful" should be Gao Ye, who entered the crew at the beginning, she didn't know that the "sister-in-law" was going to die.
After finding out later, she asked the director how "Chen Shuting" died?
But the director never said, and said that he would surprise her, which made Gao Ye's three-month shooting time very "tormenting".
Zhao Zichong, who plays Zhang Biao, is in the same situation as Hao Ping, he thought he got the script of a good person, but he didn't expect to usher in a reversal in the end.
Sun Yan, who played Tang Xiaohu, felt even more magical, before entering the crew, he didn't know that he actually had a "wife" in the play, and he didn't see what his "wife" looked like until he entered the set.
Actor Wu Jingli estimated that she still hasn't figured it out, and in the end, it will be Xiao Wu played by her to accompany An Xin, and it turns out that she is the "heroine" of this drama.
In addition to not giving the actors all the scripts, director Xu Jizhou also "encouraged" the actors to add their own plays.
For example, Jia Bing's first scene in the group was "Identifying Corpses by the Fish Pond", he was stunned at that time, so he could only "play freely".
There is also the mutual beating scene with Gao Qiqiang, Jia Bing also improvised a little, he not only let Gao Qiqiang smash his head with an ashtray, but also added a scene of the two holding their heads and struggling, so that Xu Jiang's character was not only ruthless, but also a little more joyful.
In addition, Li Jian also has his own places to add drama, such as the water cup that fell during the showdown with An Xin, which he asked to add, and in the eyes of the audience, the water cup that fell on the ground became a harbinger of Li Xiang's fate.
There is also a picture of him being pushed downstairs in Mang Village Li Shun and picking up shoes for the latter, which was also designed by himself.
The design of these bridges makes Li Xiang's character more delicate.
Third, about the play, the plot and those ingenious settings
In addition to the filming, the "Crazy" crew has worked hard, and there have been many changes in the drama and plot.
A few days ago, actor Wang Jiachen posted that "Crazy" cut 100 episodes after filming the material alone, but because of many deletions, there were only 39 episodes in the end, and even his own drama was almost cut.
After that, director Xu Jizhou "refuted rumors" and said that the play was filmed for a total of 118 days, and it was impossible to shoot an episode a day, but this drama did cut some of it.
Originally, the show had 43 episodes, but some content was cut.
For example, the life and growth of sister-in-law Chen Shuting, the play is basically not revealed, according to the director, this content is not suitable for the audience, so it was deleted.
There are also many violent and bloody pictures of Xu Jiang, played by Jia Bing, which have also been cut.
In addition to deletions, the plot has also been modified compared to the original work.
For example, Gao Qiqiang rode a bicycle in the original work, but later changed to riding a motorcycle at the suggestion of Zhang Songwen.
There is also Chen Shuting in the original work who was hit and killed by Huang Yaoyao's car, and in the drama version, the cause of her death is Jiang Tian's revenge.
Of course, the most interesting setting in "Crazy" is the name of the person.
Shortly after the episode was broadcast, some netizens speculated that Ji Ze and Zhou Zhihe may be inner ghosts, but if you study carefully, you will find that Xu Zhong, Ji Ze, Zhou Zhihe, the surnames of the three people happen to be the director's name - Xu Jizhou.
It is impossible for the director to make himself an inner ghost, isn't it a little naughty?
Finally, let's talk about the "rotten" problem that netizens criticize.
At present, the rating of "Crazy" has dropped from the highest 9.1 to 8.6 now, but it still has rave reviews, but the most complaining point is that it is "rotten".
In this regard, director Xu Jizhou also expressed deep regret.
The show was filmed in three stages at the beginning, a total of less than four months.
The first part alone took 52 days, and the second part took more than 40 days.
In the third stage of shooting, at that time, due to unavoidable factors such as "masks", many scenes could only be filmed on the beach or in cars.
This kind of shooting arrangement naturally makes the end of the play, the fate of the characters is a little abrupt, for example: Gao Yaoyao Gao Qiqiang's scene is very embarrassing, you must know that it was Gao Qiqiang who saved her in the end.
Therefore, director Xu Jizhou also said that if there is enough time, the ending of this drama may be more perfect.
In this way, the "rotten end" of "Crazy" is not only the regret of the audience, but also the regret of the director.
However, from the overall quality point of view, "Crazy" is definitely passable.
Especially through Gao Qiqiang's life, human nature and desire are vividly displayed.
At the same time, it can also make us empathize, each of us longs to rise, but also looks forward to the light, so for the characters in "Crazy", we are on the basis of understanding their unwilling fate, continue to adhere to the light, stick to their own life!
This is the biggest charm of "Crazy"!
