Speaking of the "handle" in period dramas, "Parents' Love" must be well-deserved, and now it has become the highest-scoring domestic period drama in the past decade.
In this drama, which has a score of 9.5, not only the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are very accurate, but even the acting skills of the supporting characters are always online.
However, what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, the novel of "Parents' Love" is "noisy", and the script has changed hands several times, with twists and turns.
Not only that, "Parents' Love" also has many "episodes" in casting, Guo Tao, who played Jiang Defu, was disliked, Liu Lin refused to play Jiang Dehua many times, and the original male protagonist Jiang Wen was ruthlessly replaced.
"Noisy "Parents' Love"
For the bland novel "Parents' Love", I believe many people think that the author calmed down and wrote it one stroke at a time, but in fact, it was the author Liu Jing who quarreled and "quarreled".
Before she went to work at the People's Liberation Army Literature and Art Publishing House, Liu Jing was a housewife, and her daily work was to deal with trivial matters at home.
During this period, Liu Jing's husband and son were also very "comfortable", enjoying this kind of life of opening their mouths and stretching their hands for clothes, regardless of how tired Liu Jing was.
With the passage of time, after Liu Jing did housework for a long time, her body gradually became unbearable, and her work was not as quick as before.
So after Liu Jing's husband saw this scene, he would reprimand her a few words when he had nothing to do, and even didn't even eat when he was unhappy, and often slapped Liu Jing's face.
For her husband's indifferent attitude and tone of reprimand, Liu Jing chose to endure silently, and didn't even dare to say a word.
It wasn't until Liu Jing calmed down to think about the problem afterwards that she suddenly realized that her previous personality was not like this.
As the "war" at home continues to occur, and she also gets rid of the existence of being like a "servant", she decides to fight back in a fit of anger and use her pen as a weapon.
Because Liu Jing was very angry in her heart, when she started writing, she wrote very fast, and it didn't take long for the novel "Parents' Love" to be born in the world.
"Jiang Wen was replaced with a male lead"
Later, after Liu Jing released the novel "Parents' Love", it instantly attracted the praise of readers, and an executive director found Liu Jing, and this person was Jiang Wen.
After seeing Liu Jing for the first time, Jiang Wen did not talk nonsense and directly expressed his intentions, expressing his hope that the novel "Parents' Love" could be made into a movie, and Liu Jing could write the script of the movie version.
Seeing this situation, Liu Jing did not rush to agree, but fell into a tangled state, looking at the change in Liu Jing's facial expression, Jiang Wen did not force it, and said that let Liu Jing think about it, and he would come back in a few days.
Later, after Liu Jing returned home and told her husband about the incident, her husband was first startled, and then took the other party's hand and said, "This is an opportunity in your life." ”
After having her husband's words, Liu Jing also made up her mind, and when Jiang Wen came to inquire about it again in a few days, she agreed without saying a word.
Seeing that the other party was so happy, Jiang Wen immediately gave Liu Jing 50,000 yuan, saying that this was the money to buy the copyright of the novel film.
In this way, Liu Jing began to work on the movie script of "Parents' Love", but when she raised the pen, she found that she had no experience in writing scripts and didn't know how to write at all.
Although Liu Jing finally racked his brains to write a manuscript, the effect was unsatisfactory, and Jiang Wen asked Liu Jing to revise it after seeing it, saying that the manuscript was too sloppy.
Hearing this, Liu Jing went home and revised it again, but the result still did not meet Jiang Wen's requirements, so the remake of the movie was over.
Although a director later approached Liu Jing and hoped to remake it into a film and television drama, the manuscript submitted by Liu Jing still did not meet the other party's requirements.
Time flies, and soon it is ten years later, and Liu Jing at this time has long forgotten the term of adapting novels into film and television works.
But what Liu Jing didn't expect was that it didn't take long for another company boss to find her, and once again mentioned the adaptation of the novel "Parents' Love" into film and television works.
Hearing this, Liu Jing informed the other party that the film copyright had been purchased by Jiang Wen, and he needed to discuss it with Jiang Wen.
Immediately afterwards, the boss found Jiang Wen and said that he only made film and television drama versions, and Jiang Wen was also very cheerful, so he nodded immediately.
It's just that Jiang Wen put forward another request in the next second, that is, he needs to play the role of the male protagonist Jiang Defu, seeing this situation, the boss still agreed after thinking about it.
At the same time, Liu Jing also began to write the script of the film and television drama version, and this time she did not "make a mistake", and directly did it "over and over again".
After the script of "Parents' Love" came out, the boss handed over the shooting task to director Zheng Xiaolong, and he started shooting.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Jiang Wen, as the male number one, failed to appear as scheduled, so the progress of filming was once again stranded.
"Guo Tao is disliked"
With the passage of time, the task of filming "Parents' Love" was later given to director Kong Sheng.
And director Kong Sheng found a new male protagonist for "Parents Love", and asked Guo Tao to play Jiang Defu, the heroine's words remain the same, and Mei Ting will play it.
But this move angered the author Liu Jing, who was quite disgusted with Guo Tao's appearance, because the image of the male protagonist Jiang Defu was created by Liu Jing based on his father, so she wanted to find a handsome actor.
However, it turned out that Liu Jing's consideration was obviously redundant, and Jiang Defu, played by Guo Tao, received a lot of praise from the audience.
"Liu Lin refuses to play Jiang Dehua"
When the crew of "Parents Love" chose the role of Jiang Dehua, they first thought of Liu Lin, and felt that she would definitely be able to control this role.
At the beginning, Liu Lin was still looking forward to it, because she had also heard that the novel "Parents' Love" was very good, and she thought that the adapted film and television drama would definitely not be bad.
But when the director told Liu Lin to let her play the role of Jiang Dehua and let Liu Lin read the script, Liu Ling was dumbfounded, she said that this role was too rude and she couldn't accept it.
After that, Liu Lin politely refused to leave the crew, and although the director was unwilling, it was to no avail, after all, it was someone's choice whether to act or not.
But things soon came to an end, because Mei Ting and Liu Lin, who played An Jie, were friends who talked about everything in private, so the director asked her to persuade Liu Lin.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after Mei Ting's many persuasions, Liu Lin finally agreed to play the role of Jiang Dehua, which is really not easy.
All in all, "Parents' Love" is a rare good drama, even though it has been so many years since its release, it is still not tired of watching.
