"Who would have thought that I, An Jie, would be able to marry a countryman who hadn't read for a day, and give birth to a child for him with a belly!"
When it comes to the drama "Parents' Love", everyone must be no stranger, not only has rave reviews, but its wonderful and real plot is even more tireless.
We all know that among the major domestic film and television themes, one of the most intriguing and easy to be complained about is a period drama, which will be spurned by the audience if you are not careful.
And "Parents' Love" has not only not "fallen off the altar" over time, but has also become a leader in period dramas, so it is not difficult for us to see how good it is.
But what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, the details of conscience behind the scenes of "Parents' Love" are far more shocking than the plot, and in order to polish the show to the extreme, the director and actors can be described as "miserable".
"Refinement of the set"
I believe that the audience who has watched the drama "Parents Love" knows that the building, the layout of the home, and the costumes in the play are very attentive.
But what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, these sets are not "props", but "real things" found by the director.
For example, the watch that Jiang Defu often wears on his hand in the play, the camera has also given close-ups many times, maybe everyone thinks that this is an ordinary nostalgic watch, but the other is really a watch from 50 years ago.
There are also ornaments that can be seen everywhere in Jiang Defu's home, which are not items made by modern technology, but genuine old objects.
Not only that, even Jiang Defu read the People's Daily seriously in the play, which was not a random printed newspaper, but the People's Daily in 1955.
In fact, from this point, it is not difficult for us to see the good intentions of the production of the play, others are filming "acting", but "Parents Love" is playing "life".
As for the scene of "Army Gate" in the play, everyone must be familiar with it, the camera looks magnificent and spectacular, and it can be seen at a glance that this is not made of special effects of green cloth.
But what everyone doesn't know is that its "army gate" was "smashed" by the director with money, and he directly spent more than 100,000 yuan to build a gate.
In order to maximize the restoration of the "army gate" in the novel, director Kong Sheng began to look around for filming locations and ponder the surrounding gates.
But unexpectedly, after some searching, he couldn't find a gate that met the "army gate" at all, and he fell into deep thought for a while.
Originally, the crew said that they would let Kong Sheng find a random one, and the gate that was almost the same would act as the "gate of the troops", after all, it didn't look too much.
However, Kong Sheng, who heard this, vetoed it, saying that since he wants to shoot, he must shoot "good", and must not move towards "speed".
Later, after discussing with producer Hou Hongliang, Kong Sheng immediately said that since there was no filming location, he would build a filming location, and directly smashed hundreds of thousands of yuan to build the same "army gate" as in the novel.
Not only that, in addition to spending money to build the "army gate" in the play, Kong Sheng also built small houses next to the island.
In order to restore the real scene of Jiang Defu and An Jie living next to the island in the play, Kong Sheng immediately called the construction team to build one small house after another on it, in order to have a sense of reality.
From this point, it is not difficult for us to see how strict director Kong Sheng's requirements for details are, in fact, this is the reason why "Parents' Love" has been prosperous for a long time.
As for the director Kong Sheng and producer Hou Hongliang's move of throwing money at the expense of the set, many netizens think that it is "not worth it", because this is just one or two glances, and there is no need to be so exquisite.
But in fact, this is the "winning point" of "Parents' Love", looking at all the period dramas on the market, almost all of them revolve around the development of the plot that is very different, and if you want to stand out, there is only one word to win, and that is "details".
Obviously, "Parents' Love" is a big win in the details, and the delicacy is kept improving.
"The hard-won script"
As the saying goes, "everything is difficult at the beginning", in fact, this sentence is not an exaggeration in "Parents Love", because when "Parents Love" was not filmed into a film and television drama, it was difficult to torture in the script.
In 1933, after the publication of the novel "Parents' Love" written by Liu Jing, it not only instantly made countless readers cry after reading it, but also attracted various great directors to come to it.
The first person to come to Liu Jing through the novel "Parents' Love" was Jiang Wen, who said that after reading this novel carefully, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, it was simply too well written.
Hearing this, Liu Jing first thanked him modestly, and then asked the other party about his purpose, seeing this situation, Jiang Wen also got straight to the point, saying that he wanted to remake it into a movie.
Seeing that Jiang Wen was so sincere, Liu Jing agreed after thinking about it, and began to adapt the novel into a screenplay.
But the reality is not as smooth as imagined, Liu Jing has not written a screenplay, so some places are not in place, so that Jiang Wen did not get the approval later, and the statement that it was made into a movie will not be over.
However, gold shines everywhere, and it didn't take long for another director to come to the door, and she was Ni Ping.
Ni Ping hopes that Liu Jing can create a script for a film and television drama in the novel "Parents' Love", and she wants to make it into a touching TV series, and she swears that it will definitely be popular.
But the result still backfired, Liu Jing once again fell on the screenplay of "Parents Love", Liu Jing at this time can be said to be disheartened, and no longer mentions the idea of changing the novel "Parents Love" into a script.
It wasn't until the appearance of a person that Liu Jing's attitude was broken, and he was Cao Huayi, the boss of Xinli Media, but it was 10 years after the publication of the novel "Parents' Love".
When Cao Huayi found Liu Jing and said that she wanted to make it into a TV series, Liu Jing was shocked at first and then fell into deep thought, because she didn't expect that 10 years later, there are still people who are interested in this novel.
This time, Liu Jing made up her mind and was determined to write an excellent film and television script for "Parents' Love", and the facts proved that she did it.
In 2014, after a period drama called "Parents' Love" was broadcast, it instantly became popular all over the country, and it still has a lot of popularity to this day.
And after watching "Parents' Love", many viewers also have a new understanding of "love", love is not only romance, not just firewood, rice, oil and salt, but more "companionship" and "understanding".
All in all, the "success" of "Parental Love" is not accidental, in addition to the storyline is deeply heartfelt, the details are also an indelible point.
