Recently, the TV series "Storm Chaser" has been aired on CCTV TV Drama Channel and iQiyi.
The play tells the story of Wei Ruolai, a patriotic young man in the 1930s who witnessed the darkness of society, gradually found his life direction, and finally joined the historical torrent of the new democratic revolution led by the Communist Party of China.
In the play, Wei Ruolai, played by the young actor Wang Yibo, said: "Don't seek benefit in yourself, but seek benefit in the world." This classic line was written by Weng Liangping, the screenwriter of "The Storm Chaser".
He was born in a major, but became a monk halfway.
Weng Liangping studied drama, film and television literature in college. After graduation, he entered the TV drama production center of Jiangxi Radio and Television Station and worked as a planner and editor for ten years. He has served as the script coordinator for many popular film and television dramas such as "Azalea" and " Storm 1911".
Speaking of his first screenwriting work, Weng Liangping smiled and said: "Because of the artist's reasons, this play has not been broadcast yet."
In 2018, Weng Liangping resigned from his job in the system and became a full-time screenwriter.
"Storm Chaser" is the first script he completed independently in the true sense. The inspiration for the script of
came from his work at the TV station. When he was looking through materials on the history of the revolution, he accidentally discovered the history of the Soviet State Bank. "Most of the previous dramas that wrote about the history of Jiangxi's revolution (screenwriters) wrote about front-line battles and the story of the barrel of a gun. The money bag, that is, the logistics support such as money and food, was rarely touched upon. "Weng Liangping immediately felt that this was a story worth exploring, but considering the setting of the plot and the shaping of the character's growth, he finally targeted the protagonist at a fledgling young man in the central bank established by the Kuomintang.
Good food is never too late
In June 2018, Weng Liangping began to write. During
, in addition to constantly reading the "Chronicle of the Trainees of the Bank of the Republic of China", "Compilation of Fiscal and Financial Historical Materials of the Central Soviet Area", "A Brief History of China's Red Finance" and other materials, he also consulted many times when writing related professional knowledge such as stocks and customs finance reform. A classmate of the Graduate School of the People's Bank of China.
After one and a half years, "Storm Chaser" is finally released.
Fortunately, the script was approved and approved by the famous director Yao Xiaofeng and chief producer Zhang Shuwei.
Just as the Enlightenment Films team began to prepare for filming, a sudden epidemic broke the overall rhythm.
Weng Liangping became accustomed to waiting after becoming a screenwriter.
This year is the sixth year that Weng Liangping created "Wind Chaser".
Every night, like ordinary viewers, he opens iQiyi to immerse himself in watching dramas. “I didn’t know what the word ‘fix dog’ in the barrage meant, so I went to look it up, and it turns out it means puppy. "
In the past few days, many viewers have praised Weng Liangping on Weibo, saying, "Weng Liangping is really good."
In this regard, Weng Liangping said humbly that a drama that is recognized by the audience is the result of the efforts of the entire crew. "The script has such a good team like Director Yao, coupled with such good actors. There are also such good editing, photography and music. As a writer, I am really lucky."
Breaking the circle
Looking back Weng Liangping's works in recent years, "Ask the Cangmang" written by him, scored 8.9 on Douban, and " Decisive Battle " scored 7.4 on Douban. It is not difficult to find that Weng Liangping's dramas are all well-received dramas and are aimed at older audiences.
The main reason for the breakout of "Wind Chaser" is that it has a wider audience.
Firstly, it stems from the innovation of the subject matter. Finance and espionage are particularly special among the dramas of the Republic of China.
Several young actors joined the cast. When it comes to starring Wang Yibo, Li Qin, Wang Yang and other starring roles, Weng Liangping was full of praise. "Wei Ruolai was portrayed very well, like the drunken scene where he was out of the circle, and the scene where he was tortured by Captain Lin in prison. And when Wei Ruolai's brother passed away, the actor performed the panic and sad feeling. I myself It made me cry."
The actor's outstanding performance made the characters in Weng Liangping's script come alive.
There was a lot of discussion about the characters online. The audience called Shen Tunan a financial giant, and gave Wei Ruolai a friendly nickname: Financial crocodile.
There are also many enthusiastic viewers who have analyzed the historical prototypes of Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan. Weng Liangping also responded positively to this matter, "In fact, these characters do not have fixed prototypes. Talking about the character Wei Ruolai, "He is a small figure in the background of the times, smart and stubborn." When facing his master Shen Tunan, he was very sincere. But behind his sincerity, he has his own opinions and plans for many things. "
The heroine Shen Jinzhen is not the stereotype of an arrogant and domineering young lady. Shen Jinzhen is an independent woman, an arsenal engineer who returned from studying in Germany, and she is also a latent Communist Party member. "She has brains. Have faith and have action. "
In addition, the constant output of golden sentences in the play also prompted "The Storm Chaser" to continue to break out of the circle. A set of golden sentences output by Wei Ruolai in his speech to recover the customs custody rights were also produced when Weng Liangping was writing the script. One of the most impressive scenes. “When I first started writing, I was thinking about why Wei Ruolai could convince others. In fact, the people present gathered together for nothing more than profit. The manifestation of interests is to seize the market. Then I checked various demographic and economic data at that time, and with the continuous support of the director team, I gradually improved this speech. "
In the final TV series, Wei Ruolai stood on the stage and gave a passionate unscripted speech, which not only aroused the resonance of the 124 audience members in the audience, but also burned into the hearts of the audience.
New attempt
"The Storm Chaser" is currently on the air, Weng Liangping's next upcoming drama "Dark Night and Dawn" is in intense post-production and is still a key drama of China Central Radio and Television.
"Dark Night and Dawn" tells the story of the early days of the founding of New China from 1949 to 1950. " It is an anti-special story about how the "old police" and the "new public security" work together to maintain the stability of the new regime. This time, the partners are young actors Chen Zheyuan and Nie Yuan, as well as Wang Zhiwen, Ni Dahong and other veteran drama stars.
Weng Liangping revealed that the play will soon be completed in post-production, and he believes that it will be available on CCTV and iQiyi soon.
In the future, Weng Liangping said that he will try to write scripts about modern spy wars and costume detectives. It's plot-focused. In fact, for themes such as national security and ancient costume detectives, the script will still be in a strong plot and fast-paced style, and will never deviate from its original principles. "
