The online drama " Ice Hunting " starring Yao Anna and Zhang Songwen is currently on the air. However, what everyone did not expect is that although the drama has many topics, the focus is on Yao, a new actor who is not a major. On Anna. Because her father is Ren Zhengfei, Yao Anna, who is an actress in the industry, naturally has her own topics to talk about. As the plot develops, her appearance and acting skills have attracted heated discussions among netizens.
"Hunting Ice" takes the perspective of Zhao Younan (played by Yao Anna), a female police officer who has been transferred from the army, and tells the story of her using her keen sense of smell and insight to target Huang Zongwei (played by Zhang Songwen), who is engaged in chemical business, and has many tricks. Huang Zongwei ignited the fighting spirit of the fledgling Zhao Younan. She stared at Huang Zongwei and rushed to arrest him without hesitation. The public security team represented by Zhao Younan and the drug manufacturers and traffickers headed by Huang Zongwei, one was relentless in pursuit and the other was cunning and good at hiding. In this way, a "cat-and-mouse war" was staged...
Previously, Some netizens shared their feelings after watching the show and said that they could see that the show was produced with a small budget and the funds were too limited, and the post-editing could be done better. Gao Qunshu, the chief director of "Hunting Ice" responded: "It is indeed low-cost, just to make a simple drama. It is the most money-starved drama in the past ten years."
Some netizens asked in the comment area: "Did Huawei not invest any money? ?" Gao Qunshu replied: "How could Huawei invest money? Ren Zhengfei would not do that." In addition, Gao Qunshu also revealed, "Yao Anna's salary is not expensive." Gao Qunshu also explained that choosing Yao Anna has nothing to do with capital. "She was only used because she is a simple girl with no acting training, and her image and temperament are very suitable for playing a police officer."
html On February 23, Gao Qunshu posted again, responding to his experience on and off the stage during the production of "Ice Hunting". When talking about the selection of actors, Gao Qunshu revealed, "During the process of selecting actors, there were many applications for male actors, but there were very few non-professional actresses who met the accent requirements of the three places. At this time, a producer friend spread the word that Zhang Songwen liked this He also hopes to cooperate with me. I have only watched Songwen's " There is a Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" and " Revolutionary ". I particularly like "Revolutionary". I like both the director and Zhang Songwen. I met Songwen and had a very interesting chat..."
As for Yao Anna's choice, Gao Qunshu recalled, "One day, the studio brought me a photo and said that this person is quite suitable to play the role of a policewoman. This person It was Anna Yao, but I didn’t know who she was or where she came from. She was said to be the daughter of Ren Zhengfei, a Harvard graduate, and she could sing. I asked if she had acted before, and she said no. I was immediately interested."
Gao Qunshu emphasized , "I like to use non-professional actors who have not received any acting training. To a certain extent, I reject acting graduates who have taken acting classes for four years and have learned a lot of bad things."
Gao Qunshu also used his own past experience. Evidence from experience: “In 1995, I used Shanxi farmers to film a two-episode TV series “The Golden Pea” for CCTV, which won the second prize at the Feitian Award. For the first time, I was recognized by the industry as qualified to be a director. Later, in 2007 In 2012, I filmed " Gattaca ", starring Ma Guowei, the deputy director of a police station outside Harbin Daowai, and won the Best Actor at the Shanghai International Film Festival. In 2012, I filmed " Detective Hunter Zhang ", and all the starring roles were usually and mine. Drinking friends, professional actor Qi Xi, Wang Ou just played passers-by. The film won the Golden Horse Award for Best Picture."
Gao Qunshu said that these all contributed to his confidence and habit of using non-professional actors. "So, I met Yao Anna. Yao Anna is very simple, without any trace of acting training, and her image and temperament are very similar to that of a fledgling female police officer. Especially, she has not had any plastic surgery... That's it. That's it. Simple."
Gao Qunshu also said that for him, the original intention of this play is to help young directors, so he is the chief director. "We specially hired a retired coach from the Secret Service to train Yao Anna, Su Xin, and Peng Yushu. We asked the coach to train like a squad leader training new recruits. They would practice basic movements such as standing at attention, saluting, holding a gun, and searching for eight hours a day.When Anna Yao was filming the arrest of drug dealers, the professional male stand-in did not run past her, and all the actions were completed by herself. None of the cast and staff complained or had any complaints. They all put in a lot of effort. ”
Gao Qunshu also admitted that funds were tight during the filming of this drama, “For so many years, I have resisted capital control, so all I did was low-cost dramas. I have never filmed a big movie so far. But it is the first time in more than 20 years that it has been as low as "Ice Hunting". But what I didn't expect was that this play was actually said to be bought by capital. What's even more ridiculous is that Songwen and I are said to have received a big red envelope from Huawei..." Gao Qunshu said that "Hunting Ice" is now liked by most unbiased audiences. "Such a low-cost work can be broadcast to Such popularity has exceeded everyone's expectations. "
public information shows that in 2021, Anna Yao announced her official debut. Since her debut, Anna Yao has successively tried in the fields of music, movies, dramas and other fields, but most of the works she has submitted have not been able to arouse excitement in the market. There are too many splashes, and the public is more concerned about her relationship with the Huawei brand.
