Li Na asked again: "What do you think is the reason for "Story of Yanxi Palace"? "

Xu Qian replied: "I think it's multifaceted."

"First of all, excellent scripts. No matter how excellent a TV series is, they cannot be separated from excellent scripts. Scripts are the cornerstone of the success of a film and television series. I think some domestic directors just don't pay much attention to scripts."

"The second is the actor's acting skills. No matter how good the script is, the actors are the carriers for showing this script. Only actors with good acting skills can express the meaning they want to express clearly. In "Story of Yanxi Palace", the actors I chose are basically powerful people."

"Of course the actors worked very hard."

"I often talked about operas with the actors in the same group on the set and demonstrated in person."

"In addition to shave the heads for the play, Chen Kai also went to the group in advance and studied the script with the main creators."

"Chen Mei did her homework for the drama and joined the group to learn etiquette and history before filming started."

"Dingxiang did a lot of homework to get close to the character. From the character's character, lines, and psychological activities, they all incorporated their own style."

"To present the Kunqu opera sing, Tan Xiao wore a crown of more than 20 kilograms and a costume of more than 20 kilograms, and conducted half a month of training."

"When Tan Xiao learned Kunqu Opera, he couldn't do the movements well, so he kept practicing until he was proficient."

Chen Mei and Shen Kai were too immersed in the show and didn't dare to look at each other's eyes on the set because they always couldn't help crying.

"Before the filming of the drama started, Xiao Fei also did a lot of homework, trying to understand some knowledge and etiquette of the palace, and watched a lot of related palace dramas."

Xu Qian praised almost all the main actors, and Li Na was also impressed. Such preparations and such efforts? Why is this drama not popular?

Of course, all the actors dare not speak out, and they don’t want to work so hard, but Xu Qian forced them to do this and did it with no choice. However, now that "Story of Yanxi Palace" has become popular, these hardships are worth it.

"The third is the counter-routine. Now everyone is aesthetically tired of the silly white sweet white lotus heroine. As soon as this heroine appears, she is the existence of killing gods and Buddhas. The heroine Wei Yingluo fights wits and courage all the way, and fights off when she sees moves. If someone bullies me, she will give it back twice."

"The biggest feature of "Story of Yanxi Palace" is that the heroine's personality is that she cannot suffer any loss at all. It can be said that she has been strong from beginning to end. She has changed the silly and sweet setting of the heroine at the beginning of the palace drama. Just imagine a palace drama that dares to fight against bad people from the beginning, and is not weak or pretentious, so how can it not make people's eyes shine?"

"Actually, the story is still the same story. Basically, the heroine Wei Yingluo fights monsters all the way, and upgrades from the little palace maid to the imperial concubine, Emperor Jiaqing's biological mother."

"One other thing is that this drama really captures the eyes of female audiences. People in modern society work and life are very tense. Women are often more tired and more susceptible to some unfair treatment in social work. The heroine of this drama, who is decisive and fearless, is also what modern people yearn for. We live a cautious life and are timid and timid, perhaps this is why people love this drama."

Li Na couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

Li Na said: "The audience praised the costumes and props in "Story of Yanxi Palace" very much, and believed that it promoted traditional culture."

Xu Qian smiled and said, "I am very satisfied with the scene and props myself."

"The drama is made with a single-sided Xiuyu jade carved background wall of Chuxiu Palace, which cost nearly one million yuan. However, in order to restore the appearance of Xiuyu jade, the crew insisted on finding traditional craftsmen to make it with jade inlay."

"I spent most of the production costs on the setting. The ratio of real scene construction and transformation is 4:6. The crew built more than 200 large and small scenes. The Yanxi Palace, Changchun Palace and Chuxiu Palace all completed the construction and furnishing arrangement of the three scenes. "

"The characters in the play all follow the clothes and clothing in the palace, and use the "drawing" technique to make props and hairpins. The costumes and fan are made of fabrics such as "hand weaving", "kesi" and other fabrics and are supplemented with a variety of traditional embroidery methods. The actors' styles, clothing and makeup are also improved on the basis of respecting history."

Li Na is now convinced by Xu Qian. No wonder she has achieved such great success. The seriousness of Xu Qian alone is not as good as others.

Xu Qian's success is not casual, but is down-to-earth.

I wrote a good script, then hired good actors, and then made them familiar with the script, and arranged them to learn palace etiquette and strive for excellence in setting, costume props. With such preliminary preparations, how can the TV series "Story of Yanxi Palace" not become popular? It is natural for such a TV series not to be popular.

Li Na said: "Director Xu, how do you evaluate the kind of TV series of palace fighting dramas?"

Xu Qian: "In palace dramas, many plots can resonate, especially emotional resonance of little girls. For example, when the heroine is misunderstood by the hero, the girl may be brought into her own life."

"But the routine of palace fighting dramas is too simple, basically it is revenge and inspiration. Generally, the heroine suffers all the grievances and then fights back."

"What the audience admires is the power, beauty, omnipotence, and the resonant pleasure they showed in the process of revenge. In layman's terms, there are only four words: it feels so good to watch."

"But this kind of value of "a bunch of women are fighting to the death for a man and for a temporary power" is obviously not advocated by the market. In the eyes of many people, those costume dramas that are keen on emperors, generals, concubines and beauties focus on intrigue are not only criticized by the audience, but also affect the overall image and healthy development of Chinese TV series."

Li Na was a little surprised. Xu Qian's answer was beyond her expectations. After all, "Story of Yanxi Palace" filmed by Xu Qian is very popular. He is a vested stakeholder, but he is still criticizing this genre, or wanting to improve this genre.

"So you don't watch palace dramas?"

"Yes, I'm not optimistic. I hope this type of TV series can be innovative."

Xu Qian replied.

At this moment, Li Na completely admired Xu Qian. Xu Qian did not consider personal gains and losses at all, but looked at this issue from the perspective of the entire industry. He hoped that this type of TV series could be improved and innovated.

Li Na finally knew why Xu Qian was so successful, because Xu Qian had a big picture. With such a big picture, who can compare with him?
