On April 15, #Zhang Yimou went to see the LPL final#topic appeared on the hot search, causing heated discussions among netizens.
Zhang Yimou is known as the "National Master" and has participated in many major occasions and countless classic works. A few days ago, a TV series about the game League of Legends was being produced, and the producer was the name of the well-known Zhang Yimou, which attracted everyone's attention. It is not unusual for League of Legends to start filming TV series, but I didn't expect that the lineup was so strong that it attracted the national master, and the quality must be guaranteed, and many netizens did not believe that Zhang Yimou would participate in the production of the TV series.
Today, Zhang Yimou appeared in the League of Legends competition, watched the LPL final, and personally collected the style for the online drama to start filming in September. He stared intently at the arena, he should have learned a lot about League of Legends in the early stage, otherwise he would not have understood. His appearance confirmed the rumors before this drama, and it seems that Zhang Yimou is going to seriously start filming online dramas. If the LPL knew that Zhang Yimou was also coming to cheer for them, it should have more morale to play this game well and be happier.
This drama has the same name as the game, both are called "League of Legends", the starring is suspected to have been finalized, according to Douban, it is Yi Yangqianxi. This is a big-budget drama, with a total of 40 episodes, you can watch it cool.
The main plot is the story of an LPL star player who is about to retire and a senior high school student who exchange souls with each other, and the two pursue their dreams on their own life path, fight setbacks, and finally meet at the flashpoint. It looks a little fantastical, it's still very attractive, and it should look good when shot.
The appearance of this drama is good news for gamers, LPL fans, and Yi Yangqianxi's fans. It is also sighing, Zhang Yimou is over 70 years old, "Manjiang Red" is selling in the New Year stall, and now he is shooting new works non-stop, and the theme is still e-sports played by young people, which is really admirable. It can be seen that Zhang Yimou is a lifelong learner, so he can always shoot excellent works, has not derailed with the times, has not stopped moving forward, and maintains a passion and respect for what young people like.
However, there are also many people who are not too satisfied with the casting, and they are quite critical. In any case, such a lineup has already determined that this drama will receive a lot of attention, and the traffic has laid the foundation. I hope the team can shoot well so that friends who like e-sports can see excellent works.
This time the on-site style also made Zhang Yimou more aware of the excitement and enthusiasm of the League of Legends arena, and I believe that the atmosphere of the scene can also drive him, so that he has more ideas and creativity for the next works to be filmed, and understands the passion and dreams of e-sports people.
