Why is "Welcome" so magical?

Although the whole drama has a magical and comedy color, Hou Hongliang, the chief producer of "Welcome", believes that "this is a main theme play" at the beginning. The more Li Xue did, the more I felt that this view was accurate. In the final analysis, "using a positive attitude towards facing difficulties, this is a main theme."

The finale of "Welcome", in a warm, sunny, humorous way, eliminates the hard work of Beidiao life and the contradiction between the disparity of identity.

Zhang Guangzheng struggled to be in charge. Wang Niu Lao retrieved himself and went to Dubai to work hard. Chen Jingdian was admitted to Shanghai to go to Shanghai. Everyone has a bright future. The music of "Going Tour" is a clear pen. Aunt Plaza dances with the lyrics of "I don't know how much the time is on the world, so why not go chic" lyrics together, a vigorous life enthusiasm.

This is the first time director Li Xue has tried a comedy type. In his resumes, "Beiping No War", "Langya List", "Pretender", "Dajiang Dahe 2" ... Although the age and style are different, they are all types of partial drama.

"Welcome" is different. Exaggerated audiovisual language, dramatic expressions, and frequent square dance love festivals are full of absurd and funny temperament.

Many audiences are surprised by the transformation of this style, but in an interview with "Blog World", Li Xue said that "Welcome" is a challenge. Because he does not want to repeat herself, there is a "impulse to create."

If you look closely, you will find that even if it is comedy, the essence of Director Li Xue has not changed. In the past works, he will also add some comedy elements to make the plot and the relationship between the characters more visible. "Welcome" has made comedy elements more centralized.

Director Li Xue

At the same time, he has maintained the details of the details of the details. In "Welcome", the in -depth excavation and rich group portraits of the small characters in "Welcome" all make the characters live alive. Powerful ability.

The romance of the little man

After reading the novel "My Gai Shiying Bear" in one breath, Li Xue had an impulse to create. Earlier, he liked Bao Whale Whale's "Thirty -Three Days of Love" and "Flash Girl". He believed that these works have a clear style- "the characters are vivid and interesting, and the angle is novel."

But what "My Gai Shiying Bear" really attracts Li Xue is the "very ideal and beautiful relationship between people" in this story. He didn't consider too much practical significance, and simply felt that this was a good story. In the small world built by the story, there are various relationships: male and female relationships, colleagues, intergenerational relations ... are rich enough.

In particular, the urban love story of the hotel door pursuing the stewardess is easy to be simply defined as "licking the dog's position", or the sexual transfer version of "overbearing president in love with me". However, in Li Xue's view, Zhang Guangzheng and Zheng Youen are both unique characters. Their different identities and complementary characters collided with the sparks, making "the story is so strange and reasonable."

When a book is turned into a TV series, Li Xue hopes to retain the "urban legend and fairy tale color" in the original book. Therefore, in the beginning of "Welcome", he arranged Zhang Guangzheng (Huang Xuan) full of literary and artistic monologue.

Zhang Guangzheng alone

This narration not only resonated with the audience, but also merged Zhang Guangzheng's hardships and poet -like romantic characters, and suddenly explained clearly. There are a lot of Zhang Guangzheng's inner narration in the play. Li Xue hopes to break the stereotype of people's stereotypes about "bitter haha". Their hearts may not be desolate and barren. "You can allow him to save poets like poets. Romantic heart. "

Zhang Guangzheng's romantic heart is a pavement, which has become the basis of all stories, making all subsequent behaviors become reasonable. Whether you choose to live on the balcony, the "Sunshine Room", or to fall in love with Zheng Youen (Bai Baihe) at first sight, and then go to the dance dream of the dance of the square dance, "Romantic feelings and imagination, let him have a daydream, and there are also some daydreams. Courage to realize these daydreams. "

In the play, the dilemma of Zhang Guangzheng's life dramatically. In the hotel's rudeness and difficulties in the guests, you have to endure the noise of the square dance when you go home. In the trough of a frustrated life in work and life, Zheng Youen appeared horizontally. A beam of light that illuminates his dull life.

Zhang Guangzheng and Zheng Youen's first kiss

Whether it is a dreamy and beautiful kiss scene under the "Angel Light", or dancing to pay tribute to the dance of "Rain" in the community late at night, "Welcome" uses an expression that transcends realism. Exaggerated music and high -speed shots created a dreamy atmosphere. Li Xue said: "I want to make it slightly hi, a little bit, and let everyone suddenly have a kind of life, like a rainbow, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning, like lightning. Like heavy rain, let us remember some moments. "

Li Xue, born in a photographer, is very good at achieving these pictures through light and shadow. In order to create Zheng Youen's full appearance and make the existence of this scene, he designed the scene of heating pipeline repair, so that the streets around the five -star hotel also have the effect of steam. When Zheng Youen came through the fog, and with the mysterious and illusory background music, Zhang Guangzheng's mind Zheng Youen was really like a "superhero".

At this time, Zhang Guangzheng's narration is very clear: "Every boy has his own dream. I have imagined countless times to become a hero, and come to the world of colorful clouds, saving their beloved girls in the world, until That day, I met her. That night I finally knew that my intention was a hero. She was not afraid of the world, and she didn't need to save it.

Zheng Youen appeared

Li Xue believes that, instead of Zheng Youen's appearance "with BGM" every time he appeared, it is better to say that this is "Zhang Guang is playing with Zheng Youen in his heart."

Detail value

As a director, Li Xue has always been known for "strict" and "detail control". When filming "The Pretender", Hu Ge once said that he was "the real version of Wang Tianfeng" on the set (the special agent training school teacher in the "Pretender", which was strict and played by Liu Yijun). At the perspective of opening the door, the tone of a line, and the position of a supporting character must be arranged and previewed in advance to achieve meticulousness.

When he was used to do Taiwanese, he played the script in his mind to sort out the inconsistent places in logic and lines. In the behind -the -scenes tidbits of "Pretender", Li Xue often went to battle to show the emotions of actors. But "Welcome" is an exception, and he gave more performance space to the actors.

The expression of comedy relies on the ability of actors and the degree of cooperation between each other. For the main creators, compared with the details of death, it is more important to create a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Li Xue feels that the performance of the actors in "Welcome" is very rare, and often performs exceeding the expected results. "When the rhythm is well grasped, we often laughed in front of the monitor."

Zhang Guangzheng's first call to Zheng Youen's first call, Huang Xuan's performance was beyond Li Xue's expectation. "He was so hot that he had to drag the neckline and felt that his breathing was rapid. The kind of tension, blushing, nodding, and trembling performance may not be designed. I think the emotions and rationality of the actor must be completely closed with the role in an instant. "

Earlier, Li Xue's impression of Huang Xuan was "mature, stable, and thick". It was a typical good person. I did not expect that he was "attached" by the role. In the world of a little thick and persistent little man ". In the later stage of the filming, Huang Xuan was educated in the world of this little man, and she was completely "Zhang Guangzheng", so that Huang Xuan himself was a little worried. I was afraid that the characters with leaders Fan Er would not find a state.

Bai Baihe and Li Xue were in "Surgery" and cooperated again. Li Xue felt that she was familiar with the performance. In the first scene of Zheng Youen and Zhang Guangzheng, Bai Baihe performed three, and grasped the eyes of "I didn't seem to see it". "She is very good at this delicate thing," she played the work of Bao Whale again. The matching of Bai Baihe and the character is still "appropriate."

Zhang Guangzheng Zheng Youen first met

After watching "North Ruta", Li Xue felt that Zhu Yuchen performed well. When preparing "Welcome", he asked him to watch the script. He also fell in love with the role of Wang Niu Lao. Essence "Unexpectedly, he was more fun to perform comedy," Li Xue said, he performed the feeling of "Master" and the deep sense of being a person who came.

Bai Yifan was one of the earliest actors. Ma Dabao, who played in "Shan Haiqing", was recognized by Kong Sheng and other directors at noon. In "Welcome", Chen Jixian is a "a little annoying" character. After Li Xue and him communicated the growth line of the characters, he put down his burden and calmly interpreted a defective but constantly progressive role.

These real and lively characters have gathered into a sense of life of "Welcome". Different from the urban drama that is different from the strong topic of noon in the past, the comedy style of "Welcome" runs through, dilute the sharpness of social issues. Li Xue said, "I think this kind of five -color character is the existence in reality."

Creating atmosphere easily does not mean ignoring details. Li Xue has continued its consistent characteristics, so that "Welcome" has his professional side. Although the workplace is just the background of the story. In order to present the current status of the hotel, the main creative team visited at least five star hotels in Beijing. Talk to them from senior person in charge to senior grassroots employees. In the play, all kinds of guests come from the real experience described by the employees. For example, in the face of the unreasonable "Mercedes -Benz men", what kind of principles to grasp when the three brothers of the Men Tong do are. Essence

Choosing the Westin Hotel next to the Yansha Bridge in Beijing as the location, Li Xue made a lot of determination. People around the hotel come and go, congestion all year round, and almost every time they shoot a lot of time and energy to coordinate. But compared to the quieter and convenient hotel outside the suburbs, Li Xue believes that "the plants at the gate of Westin are very beautiful, very distinctive, and have Beijing temperament." In addition to the hotel's drama, Li Xue told other plots to make other plots. It also has the temperament of Beijing. What impressed Li was the most profoundly impressed by Zhang Guangzheng and Zheng You En to confess his heart. In the heavy snowy days, the building building was old in the last century, but in the distance, the flashing lights of the CBD building in the city center were revealed. This new and old intertwined scenery was a landscape that belongs to Beijing. With fusion, "it is difficult to copy in other places."

"welcome"

In the real Beijing East Third Ring Road, the building stands up and welcomes them. The contrast between the lives of the northern drifts and the contrast between the bustling cities naturally highlights it.

Hope of life

The story of "Welcome" has begun from summer to the New Year in winter. After 8 months of the drama, Li Xue did not deliberately create a strong conflict on the plot. , Social topics such as marriage and love, intergenerational conflict, and pension issues.

Zhang Guangzheng and Aunt Sun

Li Xue's consideration is that for ordinary people's work and life, 8 months are not long and it is difficult to happen. However, due to the needs of drama conflicts, he puts all the heroes in the play in A "critical node in life". Therefore, looking back, every character in the ending finds the direction of positive life, it is a bright and upward ending in line with the character.

"Life on the ground, and treat work, love, colleagues, friends and family members seriously, although these words are very simple, but it is difficult to do. The pursuit of a happy life cannot stop. The most original intention. "

Unlike the romantic emotions pursued in the idol drama, it is also different from the determination of identity conditions in the life drama. "Welcome to Come" is simpler and simple to interpret love. Li Xue believes that the most important thing that Zhang Guang is bringing to Zheng Youen is the emotional value. As Zheng Youen said in the play: "There is a man's opening mouth and I don't want to smoke him, which is rare for me."

"Welcome" still

In addition to the protagonist's love relationship, the king cows that are practiced, the sensitive and arrogant Chen Jing classic, the gentle and tenacious Pu Na (Chai Biyun), and the aunts full of enthusiastic, cute and respectful square dances, these rich three -dimensional character groups, these rich and three -dimensional figures, Let "Welcome" lives more than comedy.

Deepening the theme through group portraits is Li Xue's creative style. After the "Pretender" was broadcast, he said in the interview: "I hope a play is a balanced situation, not only the actor or an actor with idols, but every supporting role. Can release the occupation and personality given by the character. You can see a variety of characters in your life, and this should be like this. "

In "Welcome", the aunt of the square dance that appeared repeatedly, although not the absolute protagonist, has become a key link to promote the development of the plot, and the aunts have also contributed a lot of warm and moving moments.

In the past film and television works, few film and television dramas described the "square dance ecology" of the elderly with a positive attitude. "Welcome" completely describes how the aunts practice dance, compete for leadership, and participate in the competition every day. Zhang Guangzheng was integrated from fighting wisdom to integration. The square dance impressed the wisdom of the aunts. The fireworks were full of fireworks and the fun, and it also made the life of the little people a colorful life.

"Welcome" still

Before the actual shooting, the main creators did not expect that in addition to coordinating the outside scene, Li Xue's most difficult is the aunts' square dance. The aunts danced in many square dances, with simple "walking once", and the trendy "happy stoman fuck". Zhang Guangzheng also fused the two dances when the two aunts Battle. When it comes to participating in the competition, how to adapt it to be suitable for both the aunts and new ideas and visual impacts. They are all difficulties that the main creative team has never faced.

The crew not only invited the professional choreography team, but also found the aunts of the real square dance troupe to participate in the choreography work in the play. This is a director's experience that made Li Xue unforgettable. The aunts of the square dancers in the play realize the dream of dance. Through this TV series, the real square dance aunt also found new value in the process of participating in the shooting.

Li Xue recalled: "After retiring, they can integrate into the society again and work with us. It is a rare experience for them, and they are very happy. We are also very honored to work together. "

"welcome"

Just like the "famous scene" that was talked about by the audience, Aunt Sun (Ding Jiali) and Uncle Yang (Bi Yanjun) fed each other to eat watermelon to move the audience with the trivial details of life, Li Xue said, Li Xue said : "No additional rendering, in fact, this is their days, that's how it passed every day."

In the finale of "Welcome", Aunt Sun encouraged Zhang Guangzheng's words, healing and powerful. Never obey, never lying flat, life will see the hope of life in the process of all kinds of tossing.

Although the whole drama has a magical and comedy color, Hou Hongliang, the chief producer of "Welcome", thought that "this is a main theme play" at the beginning.Li Xueyue feels that this view is accurate. In the final analysis, "using a positive attitude towards facing difficulties, this is a main theme." "Welcome"

Challenging new types may be creative impulse, but in actual operation, Li Xue is more inclined to say that this is a "life drama", or "the realistic theme of the more bright style".However, what kind of positioning is, it is not important in his heart. Li Xue said: "For us, this play is sincere and impressive, this is the first place."
