Director Shen Yan: Taking the Basic Law of Genius, like a summer vacation worthy of aftertaste

After his father Lin Zhaosheng was injured and exposed Alzheimer's disease, his paniced daughter Lin Daixi accidentally shuttled until 2006.

When she transformed into an orphan who grew up in the welfare home, Lao Lin worked with a chic locomotive life in a shot, and a time and space travel from "Strawberry World" to "Cheese World" started. Participating in Olympic Training Camp is the key to her "home".

When the soul of an adult drill into the child's body, a series of issues full of drama tension began:

What does "talent" mean?

How would you face the regrets of life?

Should teachers educate children to use the "Jungle Law"?

Directed by Shen Yan, the "Basic Law of the Genius" starring Lei Jiayin, Zhang Zifeng, and Zhang Xincheng is being broadcast simultaneously on the CCTV TV drama channel and iQiyi of the Central Radio and Television Station.

The play is adapted from the novel of Chang'er, and it tells the story of mathematical genius Lin Zhaosheng and his daughter Lin Daixi, high IQ teenager Pei Zhi, to find themselves in mathematical reasoning and double time and space interaction.

Director Shen Yan said in an interview with the media that now reviewing the "Basic Law of Genius", like a "happy summer vacation" in a certain year of life.

"Last summer, I had a special summer vacation worthy of aftertaste. Everything was the feeling of the summer vacation in the impression: there are good sunshine, green trees, especially happy, especially warm."

Ten years ago, Shen Yan saw the movie "Being Happiness Knocking".

The father played by Will Smith in the film said to his son: "Don't let others tell you that you can't do it, even if you don't have it. If you have a dream, you have to defend it."

"That's my deep love movie. I thought for many years, can I make a Chinese version of" Being a Happiness "? But I have never had a chance. Until 4 years ago, I saw the novel" Genius Basic Law ". This is the story in my mind, I want to shoot. "

Shen Yan's sorting of the elements of the Genius Basic Law is: first is affection, the second is mathematics, and the parallel world element that is regarded as a "tool", and finally love.

"Family affection is the main. The novel moves me the most is this part. I can't violate my feelings."

Shen Yan said that through the creation of such dramas, as a father, he seemed to have completed a conversation with his child.

The nearly ten episodes of the Genius Basic Law are "juvenile dramas." When Lin Daixi and Ji Jiang suddenly "crossed" the parallel "cheese world", they had the body and environment of childhood.

In order to try to return to the "Strawberry World", they paid all kinds of efforts: to find Lin Zhaosheng to "recognize their relatives", and participate in the Olympic Training Camp with the teenager Pei Zhi, Junior Zhang Liang and others. , "Fight" nicknamed Snape's Olympic Teacher Zhang Shuping.

Shen Yan said that in the planning stage, there was a large difference in the settings of the "top ten episodes" within the team.

"The first ten episodes let the audience watch the child's scene, can you do it?"

"This is really gritted, because there are some good examples that can be proved at the time, like" Chess Soul ". Let's talk about it repeatedly, because the first ten episodes are the core of the original novels. All the stories behind. "

Shen Yan said that "frightening" insistence and the response beyond their imagination. "Everyone says that children's plays are gone, we have to watch children."

Shen Yan felt that the overall atmosphere of creating this drama was like Lin Daixi described his father's word- "game life".

"Everyone is doing a happy game. Whether facing affection, love, or mathematics, everyone can complete everything with a happy attitude, and it will be particularly high on some small dots."

Some of the currently broadcast plots have a significant adaptation of the original novels.

For example, Pei Zhi, who came to the "Cheese World" with Lin Daixi, because of his father's love that he lost in "Strawberry World", insisted on wanting to stay, and had differences with Lin Daixi.

"This is discussed with us, and in minutes, we have to pull Pei Zhi's status from 'Pei Shen' to the position of 'man'."

"Even if Pei Zhi is a mathematical genius, a particularly cold person, but he is the most ordinary person in human nature, and has the simplest needs: seeing his father. He is willing to be with his father. At this time Maybe I took a step back. "

Talking about the shaping of several main characters, Shen Yan said that Pei Zhi's temperament is "between human gods". Lin Daixi represents the appearance of ordinary people, and Lin Zhaosheng has a "youth sense".

"Lin Daixi is you and me, representing most people. Lao Lin is really cute. He has a sense of youth. This youth feels that I feel that I am a child. Happiness. I hope to have a sense of youth in the minds of my child, be naive, don't be so practical. "

Through the "Genius Basic Law", a theme that Shen Yan wants to pass is: "You will definitely encounter a lot in your life, but you are not so weak, you are actually strong."

In addition to affection, this drama also wants to convey the concept of "living placement". There are a lot of unsatisfactory life, and we all need a "excuse", a comfort, and continue.
