Since November 29, the TV series "Loading Station" has been broadcast on CCTV, and its ratings and word-of-mouth have ushered in a double harvest. Let us see the audience's desire for realistic works, and the super high recognition of serious literary works themselves.
Over the past few days, this drama has restored the fireworks life of ordinary people in Xi'an City, and also reflected the living conditions of low-level laborers in the current high-speed development society and the solemnity of life, which has touched the hearts of thousands of viewers all the time.
To say that the plot development of "Loading The Stage" does not have too much suspense and huge contradictions and conflicts, but it is just by virtue of the shortness of the parents around us, the local people's feelings and the indomitable attitude of a group of ordinary workers in the face of life, it has performed the story of our ordinary people themselves, especially the joys and sorrows of the little people.
Many people say that the success of this TV series is inseparable from the excellent quality of the original novel. Because the novel "Loading The Stage" has been published since 2015. It was awarded the "2015 China Good Book", and also won the first "Wu Cheng'en Novel Award" and the "2015 Chinese Novel Ranking".
In this way, such a literary work that is loved by expert readers naturally has its own unique artistic charm. While praising Zhang Jiayi, Yan Ni, Song Dandan, Qin Hailu and other well-known actors, I don't know who has really paid attention to Li Shaofei, the soul of this TV series?
On why this drama can be so favored by the audience, Li Shaofei, who wants to be a big director, naturally has a certain foundation in directing drama!
For the profession of directing, Li Shaofei has his own unique understanding. Born and raised in Ningxia since childhood, he liked to participate in any activity related to literature and art when he was young.
The year he graduated from high school, Li Shaofei was admitted to the Shaanxi Provincial Art School, and it is said that except for his mother, there was no one in the family who supported him in making this choice. Despite this, out of his love and love for acting, he resolutely chose this path.
At the beginning, Li Shaofei was very bottomless in his heart, because his family conditions were very general, and he was doomed to have to work harder and sweat than others if he wanted to stand firm.
Before graduating from college, Li Shaofei was also confused about his invisible future, and even sometimes he would subconsciously sigh when he slept.
Seeing that the students around him were assigned to the drama troupe one by one, or chose to continue their studies, but there was no news from his side, he never thought of giving up.
To say that Li Shaofei is still lucky, When he was confused, Liu Huining, who was a big director, came to this school and selected the actor of Li Renyi in the youth of "Daobeiren". Li Shaofei was taken aback by the director and participated in his first TV series.
Although it is said that his performance was very immature at that time, it is undeniable that he was indeed appreciated by Liu Huining. Later, Liu Huining also became an important mentor in Li Shaofei's life.
In the next few years, Li Shaofei never left director Liu Huining's side again, constantly improving his acting skills and acting skills. Later, Li Shaofei served as an executive director in many plays directed by Liu Huining.
From 1995 to 2011, Li Shaofei has added some self-confidence and is more adept at grasping and handling some marginal roles. So that after the audience watches it, they will perceive that he is someone in life to cause strong resonance, not just acting.
I just don't know how many people have paid attention to the many TV series that he co-directed, in fact, most of them have no Xi'an characteristics, that is, the "Xi'an Terrier" mentioned by the author. Maybe this has a lot to do with himself from Xi'an, in short, we can always find clues through many of the works he has participated in directing.
In fact, as early as the 1997 "Old House", we can feel the strong Xi'an style. It is also this drama that gives many of our viewers the impression of the Xi'an City Wall for the first time.
I remember that the author was still at my grandmother's house, chasing after my grandmother, and the deepest impression of the plot was that Zhang Jiayi and Guo Tao both liked Chen Xiaoyi, and Chen Xiaoyi finally chose Zhang Jiayi, but what I did not expect was that Zhang Jiayi finally failed Chen Xiaoyi, and Chen Xiaoyi had to divorce him and then marry Guo Tao.
Immediately after that, the "Can't Sleep" filmed in Xi'an was completed. This work, which records the daily life of a police station from a completely ordinary perspective, can be said to condense the current situation of the whole society.
Maybe Zhang Jiayi at that time would not have dreamed that many years later, he would be red half of the sky with a villain role in "Snail Residence".
To say that he has participated in the directing of excellent works before, I believe that "Young Pi" can definitely move to the desktop. Similarly, this drama is still the work starring Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni, which is naturally indispensable to the strong Xi'an flavor.
In this drama, the humorous plot can always accurately condense the current situation of parent-child relationship in China. It fully reflects the poor parents' hearts, helpless to care about the chaotic parents short. At the same time as arousing people's deep thinking, we are also more sure of director Li Shaofei's ability to capture the psychology of the audience.
Back to the fact that "Loading Stage" was praised by the whole network, its story itself is very grounded, and it has exhausted the sour, sweet, bitter and salty of small people in trivial life. In addition to the director's own shining point, there is another person worth mentioning, that is, Chen Yan.
"Every day when I run in the morning, I can always see a tired-looking setter lying in the yard resting; I can also hear their chats and listen to their parents."
It is said that the drama is out of life and higher than life, which is beyond doubt, and it is obvious that the prototype of "Diao Shunzi" is that he was deeply moved in one of the stories and then portrayed.
According to the data, the drama "Loading Stage" is the eighth cooperation between Li Shaofei and Zhang Jiayi, and it is also the seventh cooperation with Liu Huining, and even Chen Xiaoyi and Yan Ni are also the fourth and third cooperations respectively. Referring to the growth over the years, Li Shaofei also said:
"It's really hard to come across a good script and find a role that suits you, in fact, most actors are waiting, not knowing that the success of each role requires year after year, day after day, bit by bit!" 」
In this "Stage", whether it is the screenwriter or director, or the actors' display of life scenes, it can be called reasonable and portrayed in place. I think this is also an excellent work that really cuts into real life!
Let me ask, why wouldn't such a work be praised by the whole network?
Moreover, in 2021, "Young Pie 2", co-directed by Liu Huining and Li Shaofei, and co-led by Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni, will also be released.
Thanks for watching!
