<b>Time Network Los Angeles "</b>Young Wolf" Scott and Stiles touched the hearts of many rotten women (except for the "Uncle De vs Ribbon" party), and Taylor Percy and Dylan O'Brien, who played these two roles, are also good friends in life, taking Taylor's words as "Dylan is close to my family". How will their friendship develop? How does Dylan see his comical image in the play? What do the writers think of Scott's friendship with Stiles? The creators of "Little Wolf" told us the answers one by one in an interview.
Recently, the week-long 2015 PaleyFest Television Festival kicked off in Los Angeles. On the evening of March 11, Jeff Davis, the screenwriter of the American drama "Little Wolf", and the lead actors Taylor Percy, Dylan O'Brien, Holland Rodden, Shelley Hennigg, Zhao Arden, Dylan Spreeberry and Kristall Reed appeared at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood to meet fans and the media.

<b>Dylan and Taylor "ABOVE AUO"</b>
Although everyone is eager to know whether Dylan O'Brien will play the new version of Spider-Man, the scene is disciplined, the reporter can not ask, Dylan does not answer, so his "friendship" with Taylor Percy in the play has become the main "attack" of media friends.
Dylan first revealed that when he got the script for the pilot episode, his role was originally Scott, but he was attracted by the comical Stiles, and the role was more suitable for himself, "so I told my agent if I could re-audition for the role of Stiles." "No wonder Stiles and Scott are inseparable, it turns out that Dylan has tried both characters.
And when Tyler Percy was asked what memories of the filming process, he said that the feeling between himself and Dylan was something he had never felt before except for his family, especially the feeling of electric shock when they hugged together, "I remember that there was a scene in the hotel last season, and Dylan and I should have hugged each other as written in the script, and when I hugged him I felt like an electric shock, this feeling had never been felt before except for my family, and this feeling has been on the set..."
Screenwriter Jeff Davis also did not forget to participate in a kick, he said that in the whole play, the romantic friendship between Stiles and Scott is his favorite part to write: "Whenever I scratch my scalp in the room and don't know what to write, I always imagine myself as a fan of the show, and the scene I want to see the most comes to mind, and this scene that I want to see is Stiles and Scott, "Like many writers, I was lonely in high school. Friendships like Scott and Stiles on the show were exactly what I was looking forward to in high school. ”
<b>The film side "in the picture" Kristal</b>
Recalling the scene when she auditioned, Kristal Reed, who played Allison, said that she had just seen the script and fell in love with the role, Allison was not as soft and weak as the heroines in other magic films, waiting for the male protagonist with superpowers to save and protect, she herself was originally a member of the hunter family, she was by no means empty, "She has a very strong power inside, she also struggles back and forth between choices, she is a hunter and cherishes friends, this is why I love her." ”
Screenwriter Jeff Davis is even more revealing that Kristal is the first actor to audition for the role of Allison, and her excellent performance made the creative team directly ignore the next auditioner, "She made a deep impression on me, she also had a lot of actors to audition, but I would turn to the producer and say 'she's not as good as Kristall', every time it was like this, so from the beginning I decided that she was the best candidate for Allison." ”

<b>Live tidbits</b>
In the fan interaction session, a female fan said that it was her friend's birthday, and hoped that all the creators on the stage would sing a song "Happy Birthday" for her, which was of great significance to her. For such a warm request, the creator of "Little Wolf" naturally will not refuse, and the female fan also recorded the excited look of her friend with a video camera, and the scene was full of joy.

1985 film The Wolf of Eighteen
Q: What kind of goal do you hope to accomplish with Little Wolf? After all, this drama is completely different from the 1985 film version of "The Wolf of Eighteen".
J: I want to pull the movie "Ghostbusters" off the altar (laughs)! I told MTV at the beginning that I wasn't sure if I could make a GOOD TV series, but I could create romance, horror, and laughter. So in the end, as you can see, <b>this is an idol drama full of fun and thrillers</b>. It is also difficult to imagine that this drama has been nearly 80 episodes, and I am very grateful to the actors on the stage for their efforts and the support of the audience friends.
Q: Do you remember when the actors on stage first auditioned?
J: Absolutely. Kristal, I remember very clearly, she was the first actress to audition for Allison, and she got so impressed with me that every actor I auditioned for next, I would turn to the producer and say, 'She's not as good as Kristall,' every time, so <b>from the very beginning I decided she was the role of Allison</b>. And, when she and Tyler Percy first played, it was a really great feeling.

Q: You have a very sensitive sense of the plot of this drama, so in the process of filming in the past few years, what kind of directing and changes have you made to the actors?
J: I think the role still depends on the actors themselves to create, I wrote down the story background, the plot setting, but the actors need to express this role, I think every actor on the stage will bring a part of themselves to the role, so that every character in the play can come alive. We can set some witty scenes for them, but in the end, whether they can achieve a humorous effect depends on the interpretation of the actors. They're all excellent, and <b>now there are a lot of movies and TV series that want to come and grab people with me</b> (laughs)!
Q: What plot or characters are you most comfortable writing about? Which part is the most difficult?
J: Whenever I scratch my head in my room and don't know what to write, I always imagine myself as a fan of the show, and the scenes I want to see the most come to mind. The main focus of this drama is friendship, although there is love and jokes, but I also like that this love is developed from friendship. Who can guarantee that the relationship between Lydia and Stiles will not go any further? <b>I also really, very much enjoyed the "friendship" between Scott and Stiles, which is my favorite part to write about. </b>Like many writers, I was lonely in high school, and friendships like Scott and Stiles were exactly what I had been looking forward to in high school.

Q: Do you remember how you felt when you first read the script?
T: I fell in love with the show, the first time I'd starred in a TV series, and I was even more excited when I learned that the show was going to air on MTV because I was a big fan of MTV, and "The Fool's Funny Show" filled my entire childhood. I remember that I started performing when I was 6 years old, always at home, school, and stage, life was very busy, and there was less happiness in childhood. So when I was in high school, I gave up acting, but after giving up, I felt that acting was what I loved, so I came back on the stage, and it happened to meet "Little Wolf" again, and as soon as I read the script, I knew that this was something I absolutely could not miss!
Q: Do you have any unusual memories during the filming process?
T: <b>It's wonderful to be with Dylan, and we're both very compatible</b>. I remember a scene in a hotel last season where Dylan and I were supposed to be hugging each other as written in the script, <b>and when I hugged him I felt like an electric shock, a feeling I had never felt before except for my family</b>, and it was always on set...

Q: We can all see that you are really talented for comedy, is there any most obvious change for your character Stiles from the beginning of the pilot episode to the present?
D: I remember when I got the script for the pilot episode, <b>my role was Scott, but I was attracted to Stiles</b>, so I told my agent that the script was very well written and I liked it, but could I re-audition for Stiles, I really liked the role, and I thought it suited me better. Stiles seems to be indifferent to anything, he can not care about other people's eyes, and he can speak very directly and funny. But he's very loyal to his friends, and he can give everything to protect his friends, and I think Stiles may be the link between the whole show.
Q: What do you think about the show being translated into various languages and spread around the world?
D: I think the characters in the play are very real, and the relationships between the characters are easy to understand, but they are cloaked in magic. I feel that the various dramatic conflicts in the play have no cultural boundaries, and all the audiences in the world can understand and like.

Q: The character of Allison is not just a weak lover, she is also heroic, what do you think this setting has special significance for you?
C: I love the character, she's more like a character who actually exists in our lives. Fans can see in the play that this girl is not so simple as she seems, she has a very strong power in her heart, she also struggles back and forth between choices, she is a hunter and cherishes friends, which is why I love her.
