After Zhang Yimou revealed last year that he would move to the TV drama industry, the two confirmed works - "League of Legends" and " Protagonist ". The relevant drama information has always been the focus of public attention, and has not been filmed properly. Fire first.
With "League of Legends" being stranded due to various reasons, and the launch date is far away, "Protagonist" with the theme of Qin Opera has naturally become one of the most anticipated dramas to be filmed, especially its lineup. The question has triggered a lot of heated discussions among netizens.
After all, with Zhang Yimou’s achievements and reputation in the film industry, whoever can participate in the TV series directed by Zhang Yimou will obviously get more attention and popularity, so that his subsequent development will become even more outstanding.
However, according to the latest news, Zhang Yimou, who was originally scheduled to be the director, is basically determined to no longer personally direct the drama, but will instead serve as the series' producer.
Although Zhang Yimou can still influence the filming of the series to a certain extent, it is obvious that after Zhang Yimou retreated to the second line, the competitiveness of the entire series "Protagonist" has undoubtedly dropped by several levels. As netizens said, "In Without Zhang Yimou as director, the pie doesn’t seem so big anymore!”
In addition, the lineup previously marked on Douban has also undergone tremendous changes. You must know that the previous female lead choice for "Protagonist" has always been Zhao Liying . In addition, Yi Yang Qianxi , Qin Hailu and Zhang Jiayi have also been reported to participate in the show. The entire original lineup It can be said to be extremely luxurious.
But now, due to scheduling issues or other reasons, Zhao Liying may no longer appear in the drama. If Zhao Liying really quits the show in the end, this will undoubtedly be an even more regrettable thing.
As a leader among the 85 flowers, Zhao Liying has a very strong overall strength, and she also has a strong ability to carry dramas. Especially after "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousand Houses" and "Wind Blowing Pinellia" have completely started the transformation, if Zhao Liying can participate in "The Protagonist", it will undoubtedly further accelerate the pace of transformation, and may even be expected to hit TV drama awards. This will be a win-win situation for both Zhao Liying herself and the series.
Of course, with Zhao Liying's current strength and celebrity status, it may be understandable for people to withdraw from the "Protagonist" project. After all, after completing the filming of the new drama " in the world ", Zhao Liying will focus more on the development of the film industry in the future. Under such circumstances, it is obviously reasonable to abandon "Protagonist".
With the possible exit of Zhao Liying, the role of the heroine in "Protagonist" has once again become a hot spot for many actresses to compete for. Although there have been reports of powerful actresses such as Li Qin , Wan Qian , etc., the latest exposure of the heroine candidate is Wang Xiaochen , which is still very surprising.
Wang Xiaochen has outstanding appearance and online acting skills. Although his popularity is not very high, his personal performance in past works continues to surprise us. The outstanding character control ability and the explosive power of the crying scene have won the recognition of the industry and the audience. Especially her wonderful performance in the hit drama "Celebration 2" ushered in a new chapter in her career.
If Wang Xiaochen can really get the heroine of "Protagonist", it will undoubtedly be another improvement in Wang Xiaochen's resources. After all, even if Zhang Yimou is not the director, with the script and team of "Protagonist", it is still possible for Wang Xiaochen to hit the mainstream awards. Wang Xiaochen's current rising popularity can obviously support the popularity of the series to a certain extent.
Of course, "Protagonist" is still in preparation, and the final lineup configuration is still not finalized. If the heroine eventually falls to Wang Xiaochen, although it will not be as popular as Zhao Liying, it will still make "Protagonist" one of the most anticipated works in the future.
