If you mention the actor "Haydn", you may not be impressed, but mentioning the series of familiar works of "Thief Of Fire", "Treacherous Detail", "I Am the Legend of Zhao", "Little Devil Walking and Seeing", and "Sharp Knife Out of the Sheath", all of which are deeply branded with "Made by Haydn". With one person and three positions as "editor and director", relying on one percent inspiration of genius and ninety-nine percent sweat, Haydn is no longer just a name, and behind him, it is gradually condensing into a brand.
The latest war masterpiece "Made by Haydn", "Flying Tigers Rescue", is being broadcast at the Yangtze River Theater of Hubei Satellite TV. The drama is jointly produced by Beijing Changjiang Culture Co., Ltd., Yili Changjiang Rongyi and Sheng Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., Wuhan Tianjiu Cultural Development Co., Ltd., and Beijing Sister Alliance Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., and the plot is broadcast more than halfway, with excellent production, compact plot, and tense character relationships, the ratings are eye-catching. Film and television works with the theme of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression can easily fall into the strange circle of over-interpretation, and "Made by Haydn" has gradually become the "golden signboard" of the theme of the War of Resistance with solid production.
Screenwriter Haydn: Writing a script relies on "hard holding" and once encountered a bottleneck and wanted to live lightly
Haydn, who was still filming in the crew, was lacking in skills and was interviewed directly in his costume. Dressed in a rather old blue military uniform with a sense of age, the background is a busy and noisy set, and when he sits down, he begins to talk about himself and the film he has made. Haydn did not come from an acting major, and after graduating from the art department, he plunged into the film and television industry, and it was not all smooth sailing. From running dragon sets, voice actors, to screenwriters and directors, from the front of the curtain to the backstage to the front of the curtain, every step is caused by "strength". Haydn said: "I don't want to be modest, it is true that I alone can do these jobs, and I am guaranteed to be able to do it well." ”
Can be a person and "editor and director" three positions, Haydn in a previous interview joked: "Because I am cost-effective, take a piece of money, do three people's work, and do a good job, can the producer be dissatisfied?" In fact, the bitterness behind it is only known to themselves. Recalling the first time he wrote the script, Haydn still clearly remembers the situation when he was driven to madness: when he wrote the fifth episode, he really couldn't write it! At that time, the family lived on the eighteenth floor, and I wrote a very long will to my wife, who was still pregnant at the time! Later, because of timidity, I didn't jump down, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. He confessed: "Coming from a non-science class, it is very difficult to write a script. My creative method is like watching a movie, how the picture is attractive, how the story goes, and one after another 'hard hold' out. And to stretch my nerves to the extreme within the deadline is a very painful and painful process for me. It's much better now, but it will also encounter bottlenecks, but it will not be like the previous idea of taking a life, and will eat a big meal or choose other ways to vent it. ”
Director Haydn: Serious creative spirit to create a "root is Miao Hong" war drama
Looking at Haydn's previous works, military and war themes account for the vast majority of the proportion. This is not unrelated to his growth experience, growing up in the army compound, watching the films of the Bayi Studio, and joining the military camp as a teenager. The deep-rooted military complex has always carried a sense of awe in his creations. Haydn believes: "The theme of the War of Resistance is an eternal topic, because every Chinese should not forget that period of history. The real War of Resistance Against Japan lasted for 14 years, and in that era, we Chinese people had to go through a difficult war of resistance! We must let the young people of today understand that the current life is not easy to come by, and it is bought with the blood of countless heroes and martyrs. The main theme of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is to promote the spirit of patriotism, remember history, and commemorate martyrs, so it should always be a serious creation. ”
Serious creative concept, forging a "root is miao red" war drama. In the autumn of 1944, an American Flying Tigers team forced to land in the Taihang Mountain area during the operation against the enemy, the intricate war, the interaction of multiple forces, and the missing Flying Tigers quickly became the focus of contention between all parties. The Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains quickly set up a special rescue detachment and launched a series of rescue operations under the leadership of "legendary commander" Bao Weiguo (Li Mengnan).
The background of the era of "The Great Rescue of the Flying Tigers" is a turning point in history, the Second World War has entered the end of the period, the yearning for peace, the unprecedented unity of the people of the world, in order to destroy the trend of decay and fight back against the fascist forces. The Chinese battlefield is also the same as the military and the people, and people of different nationalities and different faiths are running for peace. Zuo Yun (Song Kwana), the translator of the Special Rescue Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, proceeded from the overall situation and mediated in many ways to unite the commander of the Eighth Route Army, Bao Weiguo (Li Mengnan), Zuo Zhongliang (Haydn), the commander of the Jinsui Army, and Chu Shanhu (Zheng Xiaoning), the head of the Chu family village, and repeatedly risked his life and went undercover against the enemy. In addition to the literary drama of Dou Zhi, there are also a large number of "Fighting Courage" war scenes in the play, Haydn revealed: "The biggest difference between this drama and my previous works is that there are too many war scenes! "Intense war scenes, people forced to get involved, or life and death or displacement, show the cruelty of war and provoke the audience to reflect."
The real war drama does not use the destruction of the three views as a gimmick, does not demonize the enemy, and most importantly, does not preach war. "Flying Tigers Rescue" brings us the cherishing of peace and the admiration of martyrs.
Haydn brand: There is a reliable team to achieve Haydn manufacturing
In terms of creative excellence, it can be achieved as one person and three positions, and the dedication is outrageous; the hard-working, down-to-earth and diligent quality trained by the army, and the down-to-earth and steady style, make Haydn gain a lot of good reputation in the circle. Haydn's works always attract a group of low-key acting schools to join. The two leading actors in "The Great Rescue of the Flying Tigers" are Li Mengnan and Zheng Xiaoning, one is a first-class actor of the National Drama Theatre, one is a well-known senior acting school, and there are many powerful factions such as Song Kana, Li Qi, and Du Xudong. Haydn laughed and said, "In my crew, they're all big names!" The Haydn brand just used my name, but I actually have a very, very good team behind it. A lot of things are on the spot with the actors, functional departments including our field, and everyone brainstorms together to string together each scene to form a good story. ”
Talking about his team, Haydn also generously revealed: "Our team, my wife is the backbone of the team, is the 'command gun', pointing to where to fight." Fifteen years as a soldier, used to obey orders, have a home, used to listen to the wife, the wife is always right. I believe in her acumen in the market, her professional judgment. What I need to do, what I do for the team, I will devote myself to doing it well. And the next project is already underway, and for me, it's a challenge in a whole new area, a whole new project. As the country grows stronger and stronger, more and more people go abroad to develop, but who needs to do the work of overseas security, "Overseas Security Officer" will unveil a new industry. At present, the script is in the process of being created, and I hope to present it a day earlier and meet the audience. ”
In the film and television industry, where the capital bubble is huge, Haydn is rarely stable and steady. From the dragon set, voice actor, to the screenwriter, director, from the backstage to the front of the curtain to the front of the curtain, from the "actor Haydn" to "Haydn manufacturing", the future believes that the TV person "Haydn" will bring us more possibilities.
