From the two-way journey on campus to the separation and reunion like fate, since Youku was launched, the youth urban emotional drama "Lighting Me, Warm You" has set off a frenzy of watching dramas, and the emotional direction of the male and female protagonists Li Xun and Zhu Yun is even more touching. Why can this work produced by Youku, Alibaba Pictures, and the drama "Hot Ideas" and produced by Dunqi Studio become the best among the works of the same period?
In an interview, the screenwriter of "Ignite Me, Warm You" Zhou Yong shared his adaptation experience and said that he spent a lot of effort to restore the famous scenes and lines in the play in a film and television way. In his eyes, the most moving thing about the relationship between Li Xun and Zhu Yun is the "two-way rushing" between them. "They are lovers, the most determined kings and knights, but at the same time they are also comrades-in-arms fighting side by side."
The audience who want to deliver it has received
"Lighten Me, Warm You" adapted from the novel "Lighter and Princess Dress·Wild Grass Garden" and "Lighter and Princess Dress·Eternal Lighting" (original author: Twentine), which itself has a huge fan base. After the series was broadcast, many viewers lamented that the drama was highly restored, and famous scenes such as Li Xun and Zhu Yun gave each other princess skirts and lighters, which made people feel endless aftertaste.
Zhou Yong said that a major principle of this adaptation is to try to retain and reproduce the famous scenes and lines in the novel that impress readers, which is also the part that takes more effort. At the same time, he also strives to reasonably adapt the "famous scenes" that were originally described in text, "the dramatic impact and emotional tension behind these famous scenes should be transformed into content that can be presented in film and television, and reproduce and retain the texture, atmosphere and famous scenes of the novel. This is an aspect that we pay great attention to in the adaptation."
From this perspective, "Ignite Me, Warm You" has truly achieved "taking its essence". "The essence of the novel is something we need to retain and improve, but some parts need to be adjusted and improved, including the adjustment of Li Xun and Zhu Yun's original family, in the hope that they can not only retain the formation of the characters in the novel, but also have a warmer and more realistic reproduction."
Not only that, "Ignite Me, Warm You" is still a standard "detail control" in the script creation stage. Zhou Yong admitted that many viewers have discovered the "creation points" carefully prepared by the main creative team in the early stage, such as the scenes of Li Xun, Zhu Yun and Ren Di on the sky bridge, which are extended and redesigned in the plot of the original novel. Zhou Yong was also quite moved by netizens' calls for the "19 Episode Finale". He admitted that the scene of the protagonists having a breakup meal and talking about their dreams was a scene with a particularly emotional relationship, and also hoped to express the texture of youth growth. "I personally think that 19 episodes are a very important part of the whole drama, and an important node for the expression of youth growth and youth pain that we want to complete."
Chen Feiyu and Zhang Jingyi's temperament fit
In addition to the outstanding adaptation, since the broadcast of "Ignite Me, Warm You", the popularity of starring Chen Feiyu and Zhang Jingyi has increased, and their delicate interpretation has conquered countless audiences. Zhou Yong admitted that he was particularly satisfied with the clean handsomeness and beauty unique to the young teenage girls of the two leading actors. "Their eyes are clear, which is particularly in line with the status of the characters."
In Zhou Yong's view, Chen Feiyu has a kind of "scattered, heartfelt confidence and pride", but "not arrogance and thorny"; and Zhang Jingyi is not just a beautiful good girl, she has the stubbornness and persistence in her bones. "I am very satisfied with the Li Xun and Zhu Yun they presented."
The male and female protagonists in "Ignite Me, Warm You" have very strong roles. Zhou Yong revealed that Zhang Jingyi even has more than 900 scenes in the entire drama. Such difficulty in creating is a very big test of the physical strength, mental strength and concentration of young actors. But both actors are very serious. Every time he visits the set, Chen Feiyu takes the initiative to meet and exchange discussions on the characters and plots. Some important scenes will also communicate specifically with WeChat via phone.
A vivid detail is that both the novel and the script write about Li Xun's waist injury, but the novel does not specifically describe the impact of the waist injury on the character's life. Instead, Chen Feiyu took the initiative to think about what kind of standing, sitting, and gait a person who has been injured should have. "He has done a lot of design and thinking, and presented it. These things surprised me very much. This is his seriousness and concentration in the performance."
In addition, the success of "Ignite Me, Warm You" is also inseparable from the excellent production team. Zhou Yong used three "special" to describe the production team, "very serious, especially competing, and especially reliable." He revealed that the scene where Li Xun and Zhu Yun went to watch the Pu Shu concert was proposed and promoted by the production team, and in the end it really formed the finishing touch.
Regarding the popularity of the drama nowadays, Zhou Yong said that when he accepted the adaptation of this novel and chose to cooperate with the production team of Alibaba Pictures , he was trying to make a benchmark work. "The first point is that we can feel and recognize the value of this novel together. We hope to present and reproduce it as perfectly as possible. We believe that as long as we do this, the drama will definitely impress the audience, it will definitely be broadcast effectively, and it will definitely gain the popularity it should have."
