The play tells the story of the actor Ruan Nianchu who fell into the tiger's mouth because of an accident five years ago. She was in danger and met Li Teng, who was performing an undercover mission. They were in a relationship, but they didn't expect to meet again after five years. This time, in the face of many crises, the two chose to join hands to solve the story of the villain's conspiracy.
After the broadcast of "He Confessed in the Backlight", with the high-value cast and the high-energy sugar-sweetened storyline, it gained a 7.2 reputation on Douban at the beginning, and many viewers directly called "top" and bounced. There are many comments such as "sweet and sweet" and "kill me" in the scene. Recently, when the drama was about to come to an end, Sohu Entertainment interviewed senior director of Sohu Homemade Drama Production Center, chief producer Liu Mingli, and director Ming Yan, to reveal the story behind the creation.
The male hormones and the iron man's tenderness form a circle of fans. Yu-Ning Tsao successfully interprets the role of a tough guy.
The web drama "He Confessed in the Backlight" is adapted from the love novel "Ban Yin" by Ruoshui Qianliu in Jinjiang Literature City. Li Teng's unforgettable love for Ruan Nianchu for seven years has not only touched many readers, but also touched the creative team and director Ming Yan, "The hero has only this girl in his heart from beginning to end, and I think this kind of feeling is quite touching."
has produced many hits such as " how the boss wants to marry me " series, " you have successfully caught my attention ", " I am a pet in Dali Temple", " animal lovers ah " and many other hits The producer of the pet drama, Liu Mingli, is more interested in the uniqueness of the story of "Ban Yin", "The novel has both masculine and male hormones, which are very burning and explosive, and have a passionate side. On the other hand, although the character of the male protagonist is a tough guy, he is very gentle in his heart, and the tough guy is tender, which is more able to impress the audience. This is something special that has not been seen in our previous sweet pet dramas. "
In order to make this story well, on the basis of respecting the original work and considering various factors such as size, the creative team first re-arranged the characters in the play, and the male protagonist's identity was changed from a soldier to a soldier. The boss of the security company, the heroine was originally a singer in the art troupe, but changed to a drama actress. Ming Yan explained the reason for the change: "In addition to the sensitivity of identity, if the heroine is a singer, the copyright of the song is also a problem. question. "Although the change of identity has led to corresponding adjustments to many plots, the famous scenes that fans of the original book care about are reserved as much as possible in the play. "Some changes have been made in form, but the overall God is still there." After
has determined the content of the story, the next step is how to make it into a film. Ming Yan said frankly: "The most important thing in a sweet pet drama is whether the male protagonist is filmed as the female audience imagined." He still remembers that for the How much effort it took to find Li Teng's actor, "We have rummaged through half of the entertainment industry, and almost every producer in this industry knows that there is a group looking for a role called Li Teng", until Yu-Ning Tsao's appearance brightened everyone's eyes. When crew found Yu-Ning Tsao, he had short hair and tanned skin.Due to the epidemic, Yu-Ning Tsao was far away in Taiwan and could not face the audition scene. He used a video to record a short scene of his audition. It is also this short scene that surprised the creators very much, "He is completely different from what we originally imagined. His appearance, performance style and eyes are very distinctive, which makes people eye-catching." Liu Mingli described Yu-Ning Tsao's acting in a play, but not greasy. He was emotional and restrained. When his eyes were ruthless, he was as sharp as a wolf, and when he was full of love and innocence, he was very like a deer. , as if Li Teng in the novel came out of the book."
Although Yu-Ning Tsao fits Li Teng very well in appearance, in real life he is actually a sunny and lovely big boy, and the roles he has played before are also similar to himself. The characters are relatively similar, and playing the role of a tough guy like Li Teng is a big challenge for both the director and Yu-Ning Tsao himself. In order to let him find Li Teng's feeling, the crew specially arranged a very intense fight scene for him four or five days after the start of the movie. This scene was filmed all night. His sense of conviction, whether in body, demeanor or tone, has changed a lot, and he finally found the feeling of Li Teng.
Facts have proved that Yu-Ning Tsao did not live up to everyone's expectations. After this drama was broadcast, Li Teng played by Yu-Ning Tsao was unanimously recognized by the audience. His tough appearance, delicate facial features, and his tenderness towards the heroine have gained countless "Girlfriend Fan".
Actor overcomes self-challenges and shoots intimate scenes in water The director personally demonstrates
In addition to the male lead's suitability, Ming Yan believes that "He Confessed in the Backlight" needs to be recognized by the audience, and another very important thing is to Selecting the appropriate shooting technique, taking into account the tonality of the story, he chose a more poetic lens language. In order to achieve this requirement, he paid a lot of effort in the shooting.
Ming Yan was deeply impressed. One scene was Ruan Nianchu, played by Yu Yue, who was about to go into the sea to commit suicide. The script was simple to write, but he didn't know how difficult it was when it was time to shoot. "The waves are too big, and the sea is constantly rising. The camera has to move every minute. And the two actresses can hardly stand normally in the sea. During aerial photography, the actresses were about 30 meters away when they said the first sentence and the second sentence. I have been floating in the water, drinking extremely bitter sea water while acting, the sea water will spray into my eyes, and I can't open my eyes. Once I stop, I have to re-do my makeup and hair. It takes a long time. After finishing makeup The sea continues to rise again." Although it was hard work, in Ming Yan's view, it was all worth it, "I especially like filming scenes of the sea, because I think the romantic atmosphere is very strong, but I have to pay correspondingly. The price, the time, and the hard work.”
It is worth mentioning that many fights and scenes in the water in this play are done by the actors themselves, especially for Yu Yue, who is afraid of water, the scenes in the water are actually It's not a small challenge. In the play, in addition to her role in the sea, she also jumps into the seven-meter-deep water. Although the crew prepared a stand-in, in order to present a better sense of picture, Yu Yue still overcomes her inner fear. I did the shooting myself.
Many viewers relished the intimate scenes in "He Confessed in the Backlight".In order to capture the aesthetic feeling of the picture, the director team also put a lot of effort into it. Before the actors perform, the directors will study how to kiss, hug, fall and even roll the bed, and then demonstrate to the actors. For example, one of the audience's favorite intimate scenes is Li Teng kissing Ruan Nianchu with the help of a chair. The script only wrote that the male and female protagonists kiss each other. Ming Yan hoped to give the audience some freshness in this scene. For two hours, I tried various methods such as table kisses, wall bangs, and coat hanger kisses. Finally, I had an epiphany and conceived of a performance method of turning the chair 180 degrees and then knocking down the girl to kiss. But this action has relatively high technical requirements. What surprised him was that Yu-Ning Tsao tried it once, and the real shot was over.
Intimacy scenes should be good-looking, in addition to the clever way of shooting, the tacit understanding of the actors is also very important. Although before the filming of "He Confessed in the Backlight", Yu-Ning Tsao and Yu Yue had a relationship during the audition many years ago, but this cooperation was still a little rusty at the beginning and could not let go. Ming Yan revealed that two or three days before filming, there were great obstacles for the two of them to film intimate scenes, "I was wearing headphones at the scene, and I heard them chatting next to the monitor. They were chatting awkwardly throughout the whole process. Maybe one of them said you were What is the constellation, the other person will simply answer, will be silent for 415 minutes, and the silent person will ask another question."
In order not to affect the filming, Mingyan thought of a solution, "I called them together that night to chat. This question, I hope they will read the script in front of me and show it to me. I will adjust it on the spot. We did a lot of homework at night, and went through all the intimate scenes in the script. , how should I put it, I have told them my thoughts. They are also very diligent, and have been using the intermittent play of the filming to constantly try to play.I said that you should give me at least three acting styles for each scene, and let me choose. They really do their homework very seriously, they are really good, and they are very hardworking actors. "
Tutian is not necessarily a bad evaluation. Sweet pet dramas play the role of dream-making. It is not that the male protagonist seeks the truth while falling in love, but entangles the content of suspense and love. Why did Li Teng leave Ruan Nianchu five years ago, and the reason why he approached her five years later, all hide the suspense. After some consideration , the creative team did not choose a linear narrative method, but boldly adopted the montage-style expression method of looping forward, placing the content of memories in the title or in the film, and the two timelines were interspersed together, so that the audience would not feel The content at the beginning was too boring, and it complemented the structure and intention of the story. After the broadcast of
"He Confessed in the Backlight", the creators were a little flattered by the enthusiastic response of the audience, on the other hand, for some comments, They also expressed their confusion. During the interview, Liu Mingli expressed her doubts: "Why would someone say that this drama is so sweet? Where are we in the land? I think what we made with such a small budget is still very foreign. "
Mingyan wondered if it was because the original novel was written many years ago, and the drama version retained the original flavor of the original novel during the adaptation process, so it gave everyone a feeling that the lines were very similar to the sweet pet novel ten years ago.As for the comments of many viewers that Li Teng used jeans with a suit to be a bit dirty, Ming Yan expressed a little grievance. He said that the jeans worn by the male protagonist are many of the big-name catwalk styles in 2020, and the male protagonist is a relatively rough character. A lot of fight scenes, if you wear trousers, it may make people feel unprofessional. However, he also said that the soil is not necessarily a bad evaluation. "Maybe the shape of the soil has become one of the reasons why the audience loves this character, because it helps the male protagonist to shape the image of a rough man."
In recent years , all kinds of sweet pet dramas emerge in an endless stream, and even serious homogenization problems occur. As the director of "He Confessed in the Backlight", Ming Yan has his own set of experience on how to make good-looking sweet pet dramas. . In his opinion, first of all, more than 80% of the audience of sweet pet dramas are women, so it must be customized for women. This requires that the male protagonist can engage in various occupations, but his physical condition and economic ability must be strong enough, and the female audience must have enough sense of security, so that the female audience can empathize with him. Secondly, "sweet pet dramas are dreams". When Qiong Yao dramas were popular 20 years ago, the audience followed the protagonist in the drama to experience the adventure of love, but now the female audience is under great pressure to work during the day. I want to have a sweet dream, and the sweet pet drama assumes such a dream-making role. Liu Mingli, the chief producer of
, believes that most sweet pet dramas have similar routines.Similar to " he confessed to in the backlight", the male protagonist saved the female protagonist, the two fell in love, the male protagonist left the female protagonist because of danger, and the two looked back and finally came together again. It's not new, but if you want to look good, the character settings, lines and plots have to be re-woven. "In fact, we need to make N+ several elements on the traditional road", "Find some different elements on the traditional routine. Things that can be flashed can give off new vitality, including the protagonist's character design and the like, as well as giving a little more distinctive famous scene design in the shooting angle. It feels familiar and fresh. Maybe this is what makes the audience feel The reason above."
