Zhao Liying , Lin Gengxin 's second work to "continue the relationship" after " The Legend of Chu Qiao " - the costume TV series " and Feng Xing " produced by Xinli TV and directed by Deng Ke 》Finished a few days ago. The drama is adapted from Jiu Lu Feixiang's novel "The King Is Here". It has been occupying a high position on major hit lists since its launch. Its relaxed and humorous lifestyle style is very popular among netizens. It tells the story of fairy love through a human perspective. The way the story was told was also recognized by the audience. A few days ago, a reporter from the Beijing News conducted an exclusive interview with the producer Zheng Zhongli and director Deng Ke of "Traveling with the Phoenix" to review the creation process of the play.
In the eyes of the two main creators, Zhao Liying, who is both the lead actor and producer, is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, and is the "dwelling needle" of the show; Lin Gengxin is very serious about acting and very interesting. Many of the details in the show come from these two. A tacit understanding of the "acquaintance bureau". "Traveling with the Phoenix" is the first female-channeled fairy tale drama produced by Xinli TV. The two main creators believe that the biggest difficulty lies in the special effects production. Compared with the good Douban score of the show, they are more pleased that the creator's thoughts can be seen by the audience, and the characters in the show can make the audience empathize with them.

Many of the details of getting out of the show come from the "Acquaintance Bureau" co-creator
Director Deng Ke has been filming movies before. At the beginning, he usually spends some effort to break the strangeness between the actors and help them enter a relatively familiar state. This time "Walking with the Phoenix" does not require any coordination between actors. Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin have been in a very tacit understanding since the start of filming. "It's like two old friends. When they talk about something, they don't even need to use words. A look, a microexpression, or the rhythm of their interaction is enough to convey the meaning. "After observing this, he was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly realized that this might become the point where "Traveling with the Phoenix" would be loved by the audience. What he has to do is to dig out the scene and show a very natural performance after they are very familiar with each other.
Deng Ke described the "second relationship" between Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin as being like an "acquaintance game." Many of the details that were widely circulated on the Internet after the broadcast of "Hong Kong Phoenix" were all from "acquaintanceships". They were created together in "Game", such as "throwing the vat" and "eating grapes", and another example is Shen Li going into the water to fish for Xingzhi, but pulling the opponent up by his hair, which was full of joy. Deng Ke revealed that the creators came up with this scene while having dinner together. At that time, everyone discussed whether it was necessary to link up with "The Legend of Chu Qiao", but it would be boring if the "linkage" was particularly formal. It would be better to shoot it in a way that the audience would never expect - everyone thought this picture would be very beautiful. The result is a hair pulling with great contrast and an emotional reversal.
Talking about the cooperation with the two leading actors Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin, Zheng Zhongli described that Zhao Liying, who is both the leading actor and the producer, has a love for the character Shen Li, and is as brave and decisive as Shen Li. She is the best choice for the project "Traveling with the Phoenix" "Ding Hai Shen Zhen"; Lin Gengxin's performance is very relaxed and very funny. He seems careless on the outside, but in fact he has comprehensive ideas and has made sufficient preparations. Deng Ke believes that Lin Gengxin is an actor with a great sense of contrast. He looks tall and tall, but he is an interesting and heart-warming person in daily life, and he acts like a child when he acts poor. Not only that, Deng Ke also found that Lin Gengxin did a very solid job in acting.

Being able to empathize with characters is more important than the type of fairy tale drama
"Traveling with Feng" is the first female-channel fairy tale drama produced by Xinli TV. This type will definitely involve a lot of special effects production, which is why Zheng Zhongli and Deng Ke I think the biggest difficulty in the production of "Walking with the Phoenix" was. It is understood that "Traveling with the Phoenix" involved more than 20,000 special effects shots, which were completed by more than a dozen special effects companies. This means that the behind-the-scenes creative team needs to manage numerous shooting materials in categories and connect with special effects companies with different styles and different progress.Zheng Zhongli said: "Even though we worked on many shooting concepts and plans with the director and producer in the early stage, some of them still encountered a lot of difficulties in implementation and took some detours, but at the same time we also accumulated a lot of experience. This It is also a learning process in itself."
Zheng Zhongli said that what really attracted the creators of "Traveling with the Phoenix" was not the genre of fairy tales, but the characters in it. "To put it simply, the characters in this story, such as Shen Li, Xing Zhi, and other group characters, can really make you empathize and make you feel that they are alive." For example, in the early stage of the series, "Xing Zhi" "Yun Xiaoyuan", Shen Li gave Xing Zhi the medicine. Although it was very hot, Shen Li, who was used to marching and fighting, didn't care, but when Xing Yun saw it, he felt sorry for her and said, "You are a girl after all, how can you treat yourself as such?" Be a man.” After hearing this, Shen Li put her hands behind her back. Such details touched Zheng Zhongli very much: "Even if she is an invincible and resolute woman who leads a team in the workplace, she still has a soft part in her heart, and she will be moved by such subtle and silent emotions in life."
Lin Gengxin has done a solid job performance lessons.
is different from the opening of ordinary fairy tale dramas. The opening of "Walking with the Phoenix" uses a long shot of about 4 minutes to show the fireworks of New Year's Eve in the world. From a close shot of a few children in the market lighting firecrackers, slowly, Go to the big scene of the battle between gods in the sky. Deng Ke said: "This is watching the fight between gods in the sky from a child's perspective. It is also the main theme of our entire drama - we always look at the world of immortals from a human perspective. In the end, it is still about human beings. "The story." Because only by telling human stories and using human emotions to promote the development of the story, the audience will identify with the characters, empathize with them, and finally become like friends with the characters in the play.
I am satisfied with the reputation and like the barrage interaction from netizens
"Hong Feng" has maintained a high popularity since its premiere. At the end, Douban scored 7.2 points, which is a good record in the fairy tale genre. Zheng Zhongli is satisfied with this, but also said that compared to pursuing the level of ratings, the creators are more pleased that the audience likes the characters in the play and takes the initiative to give them a second or even third time. Deng Ke said that deep down in his heart, he certainly hopes that the score of the work will be as high as possible, but he also accepts the feedback from netizens. When the show reached its later stages, he often went to Weibo to read netizens’ comments. I feel particularly happy when I find that many viewers are getting more and more "understood" the characters in the show as the series progresses.
"For example, in the early stage, some viewers would say that the pace of the quiet time in Xingyun Xiaoyuan we created was a bit slow. In fact, it is not difficult to shoot a fast-paced plot, but the scene in Xingyun Xiaoyuan has us. What I want to express. When everyone calms down and gets into these characters, when they finally part ways, this memory will be very sympathetic." Some viewers also discovered some of the secrets hidden by the creator during the second play. The little thought in the details also makes Deng Ke satisfied. "For example, Xingyun often goes to pick grapes. The first time he saw it, the audience thought it was just a loose arrangement, but the second time he saw it, he understood the meaning of his behavior. He was too lonely, and he envied the grapes that came in bunches. There is a lot of company."
Zheng Zhongli and Deng Ke are both "drama fans", and many of the comments left a deep impression on them. Zheng Zhongli thinks the jokes made by netizens who follow the drama are very interesting: "For example, they said that Deng Ke's 'Ke' should be the 'Ke' that has been eaten, and it is worthy of being 'Deng Ke'..." As the director of the play, Deng Ke is also very smooth. He had a guest role for himself in the series, playing the role of a phoenix vendor selling phoenixes at the market in the opening stages of the series. His most impressive barrage is also related to this plot. "I saw on the barrage that it turned out that the hawker selling Phoenix was actually the director! Netizens also spoke highly of my performance, joking that I had stolen Lin Gengxin's limelight. I am very happy that everyone can participate in the barrage. "
