When it comes to Haipai urban theme TV series, Wang Liping is a screenwriter who has always been active in the front line. Starting from "The Beautiful Age of Daughter-in-Law" in 2009, to "Life in Two Cities", and then to "Great Time" tailored for Hu Ge, the urban male and female stories written by her are grounded and keep up with the times, and are good at using the details of life to restore the lives of ordinary people in the city. In the field of original scripts, Wang Liping's works have made many people look forward to it.
Screenwriter Wang Liping
"National Life" is Wang Liping's first broadcast work after the unveiling of the studio last year, and it is also her third collaboration with Xia Xiaoyun after "Life Apocalypse" and "Great Life".
What is more special this time is that lu Lu, a Shanghai girl in the play, is a screenwriter, in the front line of the television industry, and in the process of falling in love with Wang Shuwang, she also encountered emotional entanglements with male star Chun Yuqiu (Zhu Xiaotian).
Yuan Shanshan said bluntly at the scene that she felt that she had experienced the joy and pain of the screenwriting industry, "Lu Lu is what Teacher Wang Liping looked like when she was young."
But Wang Liping said on the spot that Lu Lu is not a microcosm of herself, she will not substitute her personal feelings into it, this is just her way of paying tribute to her peers, I hope that everyone can understand the screenwriting industry and the tv industry through this drama.

Judging from the film flowers, Lu Lu encountered a lot of resistance in the male protagonist's home, and even caused a quarrel. But it is not a simple dog blood bridge, from the lines to the situation are very realistic, for couples in love with the twin cities, the resistance from parents may cause a lot of resonance.
Interestingly, Zheng Kai, who was born in Shanghai, played a Beijing master this time, intoxicated with pottery, with a casual personality, and quite a young artist's feeling.
Wang Shuwang's name is pronounced "horizontal and vertical horizontal" in Shanghainese, which means to open up. Wang Liping said that the name indicates that the male protagonist is a very emotional person and can do anything for love.

Although Zheng Kai's Beijing accent is not yet standard, his understanding of Wang Shuwang's sentimental outlook does have a Beijing flavor: "Wang Shuwang's sentimental outlook is a bit like shabu-shabu lamb, hot and passionate. All he wants is to waste his life on good things. He appreciates this view of feelings very much, "I also yearn for, men and women can actually be very simple, no money, no car, no need for so much money status, two people love each other." 」 ”
Zhu Xiaotian, who became popular with "Meteor Garden" that year, played a big star in "National Life", which was his first TV series after graduating from Nortel. He joked that his role encountered the trouble that the actors have really experienced now, and he can't help but imagine how much of the audience's enthusiastic gossip can be seen from it.

The roles of young directors, agents and other roles in the play are young newcomers, and Bao Xiao, who plays a young director, will also appear in the upcoming Xu Zheng work "Behind the Scenes Player", which has also been played in the "Beishang Guangdong Does Not Believe" series, and will also appear in Wang Liping's next two works. Bao Xiao said that director Xia Xiaoyun is very patient to give young actors a step-by-step explanation, and his role is naturally inseparable from the shadow of the real director.

Because in her view, "'National Life' is the life of ordinary people, based on realistic themes, based on originality, based on reflecting the lives of ordinary people at present, it is our responsibility as screenwriters." ”
