The difference between "Parental Love".
We all know that in order to create gimmicks and attract attention, many TV dramas often make unrealistic arrangements in the plot, add some puzzling bridges, and add some gorgeous scenes or gorgeous sets as "gimmicks", without lacking the realism of life.
However, the TV series "Parents Love" is different.
It is like a documentary story that records the lives of ordinary people in that era, without too much embellishment and rendering, and every detail in the play reveals an unpretentious texture.
Whether it is the set or the props, they are all presented in their original form, without any traces of deliberate carving. The actors' performances are also natural and smooth, and there is no indication that they are "acting" a play, but more like ordinary people in life.
It can be said that "Parental Love" is like a time travel machine, bringing the audience back to that era completely, as if they have experienced the bits and pieces of the characters in the play.
There are no exaggerated and impetuous dramatic plots here, there are just ordinary but delicate and sincere stories, and under such an atmosphere, the audience seems to travel through time and space to re-experience that purer and more simple time.
It is precisely because of the abandonment of dramatic embellishment and packaging that "Parental Love" shows the true face of life in that era. It is like a vivid chronological record, restoring a bygone era frame by frame.
This dedication to detail has made it a true classic, opening up a new horizon for TV dramas and providing a fresh perspective for later creators.
Director Kong Sheng's unique vision
If the biggest difference of "Parents' Love" lies in its meticulous attention to detail, then director Kong Sheng has contributed to it. It can be said that the unique temperament of this drama comes from the vision of director Kong Sheng.
He is very particular about the selection of scenes, and the scenes in the play are mostly taken from the real places where ordinary people live, without deliberate layout, but they can accurately restore the sense of scene of that era.
This requires the director to have a keen observation of the details of the times in order to achieve the harmony and unity of the characters and the scene.
What's even more commendable is that Kong Sheng also showed a unique vision when choosing actors. He boldly used many staff members who were not professional actors, but under his guidance, they were able to show amazing acting talent and bring their roles to life.
This ingenious combination takes the realism of the whole show to a higher level.
It can be said that this is all due to director Kong Sheng's persistent pursuit of details. Every decision he made was an attempt to answer the question of "how can we restore that era more realistically".
Under his leadership, the crew took this as the guiding ideology from top to bottom, and finally presented this spirit perfectly on the screen.
Liu Xinyan's wonderful interpretation of the role of Xu Hong
In "Parents' Love", makeup artist Liu Xinyan's wonderful interpretation of the role of Xu Hong can be said to be a highlight of the whole play. She vividly played this seemingly extremely difficult pungent role.
In fact, Liu Xinyan was not the candidate to play Xu Hong at first. However, as soon as she saw this character, she couldn't help but want to challenge herself. Because she deeply understands the inner world of this character, she has a keen grasp of her awkward duplicity.
In order to convince the director, Liu Xinyan started her own hairstyle and repeatedly figured out the words and deeds that this character should have. When the director saw her again, she had completely "entered the play", and Xu Hong's various small expressions and action characteristics were naturally revealed in her gestures.
The director was full of praise for her acting skills and immediately changed her initial decision.
In the subsequent filming, Liu Xinyan vividly interpreted the core sense of this role. She perfectly presents Xu Hong's complex personality of being short-tempered but weak in heart, duplicitous but actually caring about her family.
The audience was impressed by her acting skills, saying that she was "so professional that people mistakenly think she is an actress".
It can be said that Liu Xinyan's understanding of this role has surpassed the level of a professional actor, she has become this role and made its flexible psychology come alive.
If it weren't for her devotion to this role, Xu Hong's classic role would not have today's glory. This also confirms the director's unique vision in casting from the other side.
The tacit cooperation of the crew members
In the production process of "Parents' Love", the spirit of close cooperation and unity and cooperation of all members of the crew also played an important role. This is a mixed crew of professionals and amateurs, but under the leadership of the director, they show a high degree of tacit cooperation.
Not only did the actors take pictures of each other, but every staff member in the crew also went all out and did their best to contribute to the show. Their common goal was how to recreate the scene of that era more realistically.
To this end, they have spared no effort to restore every detail.
The most prominent examples of this are Liu Xinyan and Kong Sheng, directors from different backgrounds. Liu Xinyan was just a makeup artist in the crew at first, but with the discovery and encouragement of the director, her acting talent was maximized.
This perfect combination of professionalism and amateurism has made her brilliant achievements in playing the role of Xu Hong.
It can be seen that it is the teamwork spirit of the crew that makes "Parents' Love" a crystallization of collective wisdom and creativity. Everyone used their expertise to continuously optimize and improve, and finally pushed the show to success.
This creative mode of integrating professionalism and hobbies has also provided valuable inspiration and reference for other crews.
