6 On June 12, a seminar on the high-quality development of Lu Opera and the TV series "Old Guy" was held at the Changqing Campus of Shandong University of the Arts. Zhao Dongling, the screenwriter of the play, attended and delivered a speech. In an interview with New Yellow River Reporter, she responded to the recent disagreement with Wang Yibo's fans due to Wang Yang's voice, saying that not only does she not exclude traffic actors, but she also hopes to cooperate with traffic actors. "There is no problem in cooperating with Wang Yibo."

"Old Guy" is directed by Wen Deguang and written by Zhao Dongling. It is the latest work of the "Iron Triangle" Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, and Zhang Tielin. In the play, the three old friends who "love and kill each other" retire. In the process of starting a business and establishing a retirement community, a series of ridiculous but vivid and moving stories happened. "Elderly care drama" is a rare theme on the market. Zhao Dongling said that she was a little nervous when she first received this "proposition composition", and she asked in her heart "Who should watch this elderly care drama?" Zhao Dongling sent a message to her old friend Zhang Guoli, saying that she wanted to work around the "iron triangle". Unexpectedly, Zhang Guoli replied "in seconds" and expressed great interest in the project.

The reason why the "Iron Triangle" was invited to star in "Old Guy" was that Zhao Dongling hoped to use their national influence to attract more young people to pay attention to the topic of elderly care. With the "iron triangle" as a guarantee, Zhao Dongling began to collect and create, and went to Beijing, Qingdao and other places to interview various levels of elderly care institutions, and gradually painted the core of "aging with dignity". Zhao Dongling said that as she has entered her old age, she is more sympathetic to the "silver-haired people" and has put a lot of thinking and understanding about their entire generation into her creations. After the script was completed, she expressed satisfaction. However, from a market perspective, she was extremely unsure of whether "Old Guy" could withstand the test of the market. It wasn't until the show was over that Zhao Dongling went to Douban to read netizens' comments. After seeing the overall good feedback, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After the drama was finished, Zhao Dongling fell into deep thought, comparing "Old Guy" with her other works broadcast on iQiyi, and also compared her personal works on other platforms. For example, "Glory of Fathers" broadcast on Tencent Video has reached nearly 28,000 hits on the site. In her opinion, "Glory of Fathers", like "Old Guy", is not a blockbuster work, but it has a very good reputation. Magnolia was also nominated this year. The reason why it can be "seen" by the public is an affirmation of adhering to the tradition of realist creation.

How to choose quality and traffic, Zhao Dongling said, "For creators, it is very distressing to face such problems. How to adapt to the market and ensure the quality of creation? TV series are art without threshold, but I hope I There are thresholds for works. If the threshold is too high, the audience may not be able to get in.” At the scene, Zhao Dongling also took the initiative to mention “traffic stars”. She said that she had not been there until iQiyi’s “Screaming Night” in the past two years. Only then did he discover the influence of traffic stars, and expressed his hope that his future dramas could also attract traffic stars to join him.
The announcement of the shortlist for the Magnolia Awards some time ago caused dissatisfaction among Wang Yibo’s fans, and Zhao Dongling’s voice for Wang Yang became the focus of attention. In this regard, she said that she was not affected, "I was not bothered. There is no problem in cooperating with traffic stars, and there is no problem in cooperating with Wang Yibo. My speech was entirely for Wang Yang. I feel that I have a good cooperative relationship with Wang Yang." , I should have come out when he suffered from online violence. That matter really had nothing to do with Wang Yang." But traffic stars are a double-edged sword. Regarding the negative public opinion that traffic stars may bring, Zhao Dongling said bluntly, "You bear it. You have to bear the dividends (it may bring consequences)”
