In today's era of bad dramas dominating the screen, people will always miss some excellent film and television dramas in the past, maybe their clarity is not high, but they make the audience never get tired of watching them.
And if you want to say that the best family emotional drama so far, it is undoubtedly "Parents' Love", which depicts the life and things of that era very realistically.
But what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, there are many unknown behind-the-scenes scenes in this drama, such as Mei Ting, who plays An Jie, is actually a substitute heroine, and An Xin, who plays Jiang Dehua, actually wants to play An Xin.
Not only that, but many of the very real supporting roles in "Parents Love" are actually cameos by the crew, and they are not professional actors.
"Liu Lin wants to play An Xin"
Speaking of the most memorable female characters in "Parents' Love", I am afraid that in addition to An Jie played by Mei Ting, it is Jiang Dehua played by Liu Lin.
The character of Jiang Dehua belongs to a typical rural housewife, although her demeanor is not elegant, and she shouts at every turn, but her heart is very simple and she runs the family hard.
And Jiang Dehua played by Liu Lin shows the character's character perfectly, which cannot be said to be exactly the same as the original book, but it is not much different.
It is Jiang Dehua and Ding Jiqun who are noisy and quarrelsome, and the audience calls this a real "realistic marriage", not like the "fairy tale marriage" of An Jie and Jiang Defu.
But what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, Liu Lin, the actor of Jiang Dehua, didn't want to play this role at first, because she thought Jiang Dehua was too spicy and completely inconsistent with her character.
And Liu Lin said in an interview that she actually wanted to play An Xin, because she felt that this role was the real "woman", she spoke decently, and her every move was elegant.
But having said that, the role set cannot be changed just as it is, so Liu Lin reluctantly accepted the role and returned home to repeatedly figure out Jiang Dehua in the script.
Later, after Liu Lin admired Jiang Dehua again and again, she found that this role was not as "unsightly" as her appearance, and there were many shadows and advantages of traditional women.
In this way, Liu Lin devoted herself to this role, and it is reported that in order to pursue the details required by the director, she even cut her long hair into a short haircut.
And if you want to talk about the climax of Liu Lin's acting skills in the whole play, it is undoubtedly the scene when Jiang Dehua saw Ding Jiqun proposing to him, and then turned around and left.
Jiang Dehua, played by Liu Lin in the camera, expressed surprise, excitement, happiness, and happiness in his eyes, which really interprets what it means to have a look in his eyes.
"The starring Mei Ting is a substitute"
An Jie, played by Mei Ting in "Parents' Love", has nothing to say in terms of acting skills, she feels like An Jie who came out of the original book, both her image and acting skills are very exquisite.
Not only that, Mei Ting's appearance in "Parents' Love" can be said to be a mutual achievement, she started to get out of the circle because of the role of An Jie, although she has acted in many film and television dramas before, but she is not very well-known.
It is worth mentioning here that Mei Ting's acting skills have always been online, and the lack of popularity before was not a problem of acting, but that the script and characters were not amazing enough.
However, what everyone doesn't know is that in fact, Mei Ting is not the first choice for the role of An Jie, but after the replacement of an actress, the director had no choice but to let her play.
It is reported that the first choice of An Jie at that time was Niu Li, although the producer of "Parents Love" did not reveal the other party's name in an interview, but Lin Yuyang told him that this person was named Niu Li in a post on Weibo.
As for why the actress named Niu Li couldn't play An Jie, he didn't give any explanation, but said that the other party couldn't come temporarily because of something.
Because the filming time was already in jeopardy at that time, the producer found Mei Ting after some thought, hoping that the other party could play the role of An Jie.
But at first, An Jie didn't agree, because she thought that this kind of film and television drama with family emotional themes was too bloody, and she didn't want to accept this kind of theme.
However, the producer didn't say anything about this, just handed the script to the other party for a look, and Mei Ting, after reading the first half of the script, thought that the script was very well written, so she agreed.
Of course, Mei Ting did not live up to the producer's expectations, and played the role of An Jie very well, and even the original author of "Parents Love" thought that Mei Ting's image was very good.
"Filming with heart"
The reason why "Parents' Love" was able to become popular is that in addition to the excellent acting skills of several leading actors, it was the careful shooting of the entire crew, which showed the word realism to the extreme.
For example, when An Jie and Jiang Defu took the bus in the play and were about to go out to buy some daily necessities, for this scene, everyone may think that this is filmed on a real moving bus, and the other passengers may be the crew.
But in fact, the whole filming process was not like this, just when the director was preparing to shoot this scene, the bus suddenly appeared and could not run normally, and it started many times and immediately turned off.
Seeing this situation, in order to pursue realism, the director and crew did not use the post-production special effects composite picture, and everyone pushed the bus forward.
From this scene, we can see that the director did not choose to perfunctory the audience for the sake of realism, but tried every means to bring the best effect to everyone.
There is also the clip of An Xin and her sister-in-law winding wool in the play, for the manual work of winding wool, everyone may feel easy, but it makes An Jie and sister-in-law difficult.
Because neither of them has been in contact with winding yarn and this kind of machine, they can't interpret it naturally, and at this moment, director Kong Sheng stood up again.
He directly demonstrated to the two of them, and patiently guided them, telling them how to wrap the yarn correctly and operate it hand-in-hand.
Through this, it is not difficult for us to find that the director is really not perfunctory to the audience, no matter what scene in the play, he has achieved the word "real", not pretending.
"Crew cameo supporting role"
In "Parents Love", those supporting roles with very accurate acting skills, such as Jiang Defu's neighbor Wang Zhenbiao, the nurse who bandaged Wang Weiguo's wounds, and Jiang Weimin and his wife, are actually cameos by the crew.
Although they are all behind-the-scenes staff, some are prop masters and some are makeup artists, their acting skills are not inferior, and the characters are perfectly shaped.
Especially in the play, Jiang Weimin's wife Xu Hong, both in character and overall image, is unexpectedly good, and what everyone would not expect is that the person who plays this role is actually a makeup artist in the crew.
Overall, the success of the drama "Parents Love" is not an accident, but a real effort to present the most real scene to the audience.
