Special feature of 1905 film network The audience of "into the pit" series, together with Zhu Yun (act the role of), started a long waiting time for Li Yun (act the role of) to get out of prison.
Undoubtedly, the drama has become one of the most concerned plays in the recent new drama, and the popularity of the broadcast platform has been continuously broken. The discussion of "Life Rhyme Encircles CP" rushed to the hot search with various topics.
On the one hand, the two actors have a strong adaptability to the characters in the drama. On the other hand, the whole story is put in a modern idol drama, which is sweet, but not bloody. In the atmosphere of the youth campus, the relationship between the characters is slowly promoted. This film and television not only ensures the atmosphere of the original work, but also visually enhances the drama logic that should have existed.
The screenwriter is one of the main contributors to the success of this film and television. It took him more than a year from reading the original novel to writing and devoting himself to the creation. "From 2019 to 2020, this novel is worth doing."
Screenwriter Zhou Yong
The last work that he spent so much time creating was the same medical drama "Thank You Doctor". Watching the two works broadcast almost at the same time, Zhou Yong laughed at himself in an exclusive interview with the 1905 film network, and watched the popularity of the two dramas go back and forth to the top every day. "This state is a kind of luck for the creators."
Even though Zhou Yong used to write naked wedding, Let’s not say I love you, Spring Breeze is not as good as you, and so on, now he has two works with different styles in hand, and he is creating. How can he grasp the essence of the works?
Light me up and warm you is not a sweet pet drama.
Looking through Zhou Yong’s past creative experience, many works are stories about young people’s love. So when the producer handed him the novel Lighter and Princess Dress, he didn’t have much interest at first.
There is always a turning point in a good-looking story. After reading the original novel, Zhou Yong was attracted by the particularly textured plot, and was also moved by the simple, persistent and two-way love between the characters.
"In addition to writing the process of youth growth, this novel can also see some realistic things, and see the sense of destiny of the growth of characters, the pain and broken feeling of youth." Therefore, Zhou Yong took over the creative work of this project.
Even if the original author has a strong writing skill, which can make the audience immerse themselves in the story atmosphere quickly, it is really difficult to evoke the text description gently when it comes to the stage of film and television. This is the challenge that Zhou Yong faces, but with his years of creative experience, he knows, "If it is written well, it must be a good project."
A lot of pen and ink in the novel describes Li Kun’s drag, wildness and contempt for everything. From the perception, some readers will feel that he is a very cold figure, and to some extent, it has become a single emotional rush of Zhu Yun. "I can still feel that their love is two-way."
Therefore, in the film and television creation, Zhou Yong made some simple adjustments to Zhu Yun’s personality. She will be a little girl with her own personality and even rebellion. "She has her own persistence and persistence in love, and she also has the desire to accompany and protect her lover. I think this is a rare independent behavior in this girl."
In addition, in plot design, the novel will be more straightforward than film and television works, lacking a lot of emotional bedding.
Therefore, when Zhou Yong created the story frame, he embedded a lot of clues about the characters’ emotions and emotions, because this can’t just be a simple plot pile-up. It is necessary to make each event happen and make the subsequent plot more emotional and explosive. "There are a lot of plots in the first eight episodes of the series that are not in the original."
This kind of addition creation does not stop there.The series "Light Me Up, Warm You" is adapted from the series of novels "Lighter and Princess Skirt". The original work is divided into two parts, namely, the campus story and the workplace story. However, fans who know the original works know that the temperament of the two novels is very different. Except for Li Kun and Zhu Yun, many events and characters are relatively general.
"We should restructure the relationship between characters, improve the structure of drama, and make the two (novels) an organic whole." For Zhou Yong, it is particularly critical to build the story of "Light Me, Warm You" into a world view that suits it.
After all, for him, the drama "Light Me Up, Warm You" is not a so-called "sweet pet drama", but "sweet" is due to the chemical effect of the emotions between the two characters. "I don’t think this is a sweet pet drama, it is more the content of an urban emotion or youth growth, and it is the friendship and love of this group of young people, as well as their youth pain and growth for seven years."
Chen Feiyu and Zhang Jingyi are Li Yi and Zhu Yun.
When Zhou Yong wrote the script, he had a general feeling about Li Kun and Zhu Yun in his mind, but there were no specific characters. When the creative team decided on the actors, Zhou Yong also met Chen Feiyu and Zhang Jingyi.
"Just seeing them sitting together, I think they are basically the same as I thought when I wrote the script." Of course, this similar feeling is not similar in eyebrows and eyes, but more about the temperament of two people.
In Zhou Yong’s eyes, Li Kun is confident, but not ostentatious, but a relaxed, rambling, heartfelt self-confidence and pride. When he met Chen Feiyu for the first time, watching him casually walk in and sit down to talk, "I can feel this (confidence) in him."
Although Zhang Jingyi seems to be very clever, in the process of getting along, everyone found that she had a stubborn state. "That is the feeling of belonging to Zhu Yun."
After several meetings, Zhou Yong and the whole creative team found that their identity had the complexity and versatility of the characters. "Of course, it can’t be exactly the same as themselves, but I can see their strength."
"After" Light Me Up, Warm You "was finalized, there were more than 900 scenes in Zhang Jing Instrument alone. In my previous scripts, the main characters never had so many scenes. In this one, there are basically Li Min or Zhu Yun in every scene."
In the view of this experienced screenwriter, from the script to the film, "I think they will be very hard to shoot, so young, to assume such a heavy role in such a big drama, it is a great test for their performance strength and heart."
Even so, many supporting roles in the series impress the audience. Although they are not the main writers in creation, they are the key to perfecting the characters and enriching the whole youth growth event.
"We want to write a state in which a group of young people have just entered the university, then went to the society and then worked in the society." As Zhou Yong, who also teaches in institutions of higher learning, all kinds of exchanges and communication with students on weekdays have made him find a focus in his creation this time.
Different works have different states.
Liu Junjie, director of "Light Me Up, Warm You", revealed in more than one interview that famous scenes are being filmed every day.But in Zhou Yong’s eyes, it is not a simple matter to make these famous scenes film and television, especially the turning point of the characters in the later stage of the series, and a lot of efforts have been made to embark on the workplace from campus.
The drama series involves a lot of programming content. In addition to the original, there are many accurate descriptions of programming, and Zhou Yong also understands and recognizes the relevant knowledge for this purpose, making full preparations for the following content.
Compared with the front campus, is there a workplace drama behind it?
Zhou Yong denied it. "We prefer to call it the workplace part, because their identity is to enter the workplace and start a business." In the process of creation, he never thought that he was writing a workplace drama or a business war drama. "Their growth in the workplace and the struggle in the shopping mall are the rediscovery of love between characters and the feud confrontation caused by past friendship."
All the plots really serve the growth of the characters of Li Yi and Zhu Yun.This kind of creation aimed at the essence of the story is Zhou Yong’s standard attitude.
This is also the case in the drama Thank You Doctor. Although there are several emotional lines in the story, "But when I was writing, all my previous experience in writing love dramas was useless, because this is not an emotional drama or an idol drama, it is medical drama."
When Zhou Yong wrote, he was very clear about his inner standards for medical drama. "All dramas and suspense come from the extreme rescue of life and death, and the human torture in front of life and death." Even in the drama series, Xiao Yan (ornaments) and Atractylodes macrocephala (ornaments) have made emotional progress, but "I position them as comrades fighting side by side in the emergency department."
Now, "Thank You Doctor" has ended, and the plot of "Burn Me, Warm You" has reached a climax. The current situation of "competition" between the two works has come to an end temporarily. Perhaps for the audience, the creation of this senior screenwriter is not just a simple discussion of the possibility, but a rare concentrated projection of a certain work behind it.
