In 2017, Liu Yunlong's "Kite" fire was named "the godfather of espionage warfare" by netizens.
Recently, it was reported that Liu Yunlong's team wanted to shoot "Life and Death Superposition" and complete the creation of the spy war trilogy, and many netizens said that Liu Yunlong had stabilized in this drama.
As the "ceiling" of domestic espionage warfare, how did Liu Yunlong change from a youth idol to the originator of espionage warfare?
In 1993, Liu Yunlong from the Acting Department of the Beijing Film Academy, at the beginning he was determined to be an actor to play a "decent person", but his acting career did not meet expectations, and he could only star in the "small fresh meat" of "Youth Without Regrets".
In 2005, the spy war drama "Dark Calculation" came out, and at that time, the film and television classification of spy war dramas was not yet formed, and it can be said that "Dark Calculation" was the pioneering work of the "Spy War Film and Television Era".
During the casting of "Dark Calculation", there are many ZM actors who want to play "Ah Bing", but Director Liu always feels inappropriate, and inadvertently Liu Yunlong remembers Wang Baoqiang, who once played a rural teenager, and accidentally fits the image of "Ah Bing".
So call wang Baoqiang, at that time Wang Baoqiang was filming "No Thief in the World", Wang Baoqiang, who received the call, also thought that it was "Erquan Yingyue" in Ah Bing, after reading the script, he knew that it was not, and was deeply attracted by the script and immediately agreed to come down, Wang Baoqiang went to see the director Liu Yunlong when the image was simple, but also white point Fat point, in order to make Baoqiang more suitable for the role, put forward two requirements for Baoqiang, weight loss and practice Mandarin, so Wang Baoqiang lost more than 10 pounds in one month, When I saw Liu Yunlong again, I also frightened Liu Yunlong a lot.
Because Ah Bing is blind with his eyes open, Liu Yunlong asked Wang Baoqiang to go to the blind school to experience for three months, eat and live with the blind, Wang Baoqiang happily agreed to it, in the play, in order to highlight "Ah Bing's" hearing is different from ordinary people, but also has ears that move like big ears, so Wang Baoqiang practiced hard for a month, and finally practiced "Moving Ear Divine Skills", everything is ready only to "feel", in the first two days of filming, Wang Baoqiang behaved very unsuitable, his eyes turned upwards and forgot his words, thinking of good lines, but his eyes were accustomed to looking at his opponents, So Wang Baoqiang pretended to be blind in the room when he was not playing, and also took the camera to record himself, and Z finally found the feeling of Ah Bing.
"Dark Calculation" achieved a high score of 9.0 on Douban as soon as it was broadcast, and this exquisitely crafted work also made the 37-year-old Liu Yunlong "a hit and a hit", in the face of his own achievements Liu Yunlong did not hit the iron while it was hot, but chose to disappear.
In 2013, Liu Yunlong, who had been silent for a long time, reappeared in the jianghu and came out with the "Kite" that he had studied deeply.
But the experience of this work is indeed tortuous and difficult, first of all, the casting of "Kite" has a twist and turn, which can be seen in the casting of Han Bing, Han Bing as a special female role in the play Z, if the selected actor is too foreign, it will be discovered by the audience when lurking in Yan'an, well this is the female secret agent, if the actor is not good, the audience will not like to watch, the crew is difficult to select an actress, but because of an accidental injury and can not continue shooting, the crew is facing to find such an actor, it is too difficult, Director Liu once wanted to stop shooting, at this time someone recommended Luo Haiqiong to Director Liu, when Luo Haiqiong got the script, the crew had been turned on for ten days, Luo Haiqiong refused at first, because he did not have the habit of temporarily taking over the baton, but under the persuasion of her husband, he picked up the script, and as a result, he was immediately attracted by the script and decided to play this play, at that time Haiqiong did not even know what role he wanted to play, after arriving at the crew, Director Liu did not care much about her arrival, Luo Haiqiong felt that the director may not be very satisfied with her and left, At this time, the director received a phone call, suggesting that Liu Dao let Hai Qiong do a good look at the shape, so Hai Qiong who walked to the middle of the road was called back and re-did the modeling, Liu Dao was shocked to see the shape of ZH, Luo Haiqiong She was in line with the image of Han Bing in the director's heart, the audience could not see who the hidden "shadow" was, Liu Dao was instantly solid.
When shooting in the crew, the director does not allow the actors to take the script to the shooting scene, which requires a smooth recitation of large lines, as the director and starring Liu Yunlong, not only faces a large number of lines, but also needs to guide the layout and other work, the task is busy, so the time of the liu director is not enough, so the clever liu director came up with the idea of sleeping without taking off clothes, sleeping three or four hours a day JB washing, even eating on the toilet, while eating while going to the toilet, everyone can imagine, feel uncomfortable to skip this link.
Originally scheduled to broadcast "Kite" in 2014, but suddenly encountered a withdrawal when it was about to be broadcast, after 3 years of time to lift the ban on the start of the broadcast, after the twists and turns of the "Kite" once it was broadcast, it was full of harvest, "People's Daily" was even written, only faith tied to the kite can fly high Praise, when you think this is the end of the ban on Liu Dao's works, but did not think that this has just begun.
In 2020, the "Odds" that has been hanging out for five years has finally been finalized, and why the film that was originally filmed in 2015 has been placed for so long.
This has to say about the heroine of this drama, most of the heroines before Liu Dao are gentle or beautiful, but this time the heroine "groundbreaking", invited the Korean actress Han Caiying, one of which is that the "Korean Wave" is prevalent during filming, and the domestic drama should invite Korean stars to be the trend at that time, followed by image considerations, the positioning of the role of "Cai Meng" in the play is a high-cold and beautiful female agent, Han Caiying not only conforms to the appearance but also has a sense of exoticism, but Liu Caiying's luck is not good, and it is just in time for the country to introduce the "Korean Restriction Order" after filming. The domestic drama in which Han Caiying participated was therefore affected, and it was also Liu Director who had to find Su Qing to "change his head" to reshoot, which also faced spending more money and withstanding higher pressure, and there would be obvious bugs in the connection between male and female protagonists, in order to reduce the bug caused by the heroine, the original plot was deleted from the original 51 episodes to 42 episodes.
However, it is worth mentioning that in the previous plot, the male protagonist played by Liu Yunlong is the omnipotent "Jack Sue" image, in this drama Liu Yunlong broke the previous hero aura and became more real and grounded, Liu Yunlong played by "Tang Fei", although smart, is a stuttering, this setting also adds a touch of comedy to the serious plot, making "Tang Fei" more tense.
There are also "Kite" in the "Kite" to contribute to the CS performance of Lei Han Liu Mingyang and other actors, joined the "odds" and "six brothers" Liu Yunlong again cooperation, coupled with the novel selection of screenwriters, "Odds" as the mainland's first investment of more than 150 million yuan of spy drama, although the start is unfavorable, but I believe that time will prove its value, recently came out that Liu Yunlong wants to adapt the "superposition of life and death" News, this novel once came out to attract the attention of writers and readers, known as "strange books", plus Liu Yunlong, the "godfather of espionage", sat in town, I'm sure the show won't let us down and look forward to it.
