Chapter 364 'The Hidden Corner'

Chapter 364 "The Secret Corner"

Author: No wine on the table

"The Hidden Corner?"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows.

"Well, it is adapted from a mystery novel. The original work seems to be called "Bad Kids". It tells the story of a boy who is good at studying and encounters two bad boys, and they..."

"Don't introduce it to me."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "I know."

"Do you know?" Zhou Mengxue looked surprised.

"Um."

"How did you... know?"

"I've read its original work."

"oh."

Li Chuan did not lie. He had indeed read the original work of "The Secret Corner" - "Bad Kids", and he watched it relatively early, not after "The Secret Corner" was broadcast.

If calculated based on the timeline of this life, the time he has seen it should be four years ago.

Four years ago, he just entered his freshman year and had plenty of time and read a lot of extracurricular books.

Among them, "Bad Kid" is a novel that impressed him very deeply.

There are two main points that are impressive.

One is content.

"Bad Kid" tells the story of a top student, Zhu Chaoyang, who had a rough childhood experience, encountered incidents such as divorce from parents, bullying on campus.

These incidents caused great harm to his psychology.

During the summer vacation, he came into contact with two bad boys - Ding Hao and Pupu.

They were accidentally involved in a murder case and have since embarked on a path of no return.

On this road, Zhu Chaoyang experienced one vicious incident after another and was challenged one after another. There were great changes in the people and things around him, and his psychology gradually became extremely cold.

In the end, he deceived everyone with his intelligence and the appearance of a boy and became the ultimate boss of the whole story.

In a realistic sense, "Bad Kids" is a novel that reflects the mental health of adolescents. It has a very novel perspective and can make people shine.

Judging from the plot, the development of "Bad Kids" is reasonable, without obvious flaws, and the final reversal is also very exciting and good-looking.

Based on these two points alone, we can determine that "Bad Kid" is a very excellent mystery and suspense novel.

However, it also has a problem.

The problem is that its overall style is too dark and does not conform to the mainstream values of today's society.

It is also because of this that it has been criticized by many people.

However, Li Chuan's ideas are different.

He thought "Bad Kid" was very good, very exciting, and very in line with his taste, so he was quite impressed.

The second is the author.

Zi Jinchen, the author of "Bad Kids", is a 2004 graduate of Zhejiang University.

Li Chuan is a 2014 graduate, and Zi Jinchen happened to be ten years earlier than him.

Although he didn't know Zi Jinchen, the novel written by a senior still gave him a little different feeling.

This is also a more critical point that impressed him.

It was precisely because of his deep impression that when "The Hidden Corner" was broadcast, he went to watch it immediately.

"The Secret Corner" has been changed in many places compared to the original "Bad Kid". "The Secret Corner" retains the original storyline, but adjusts some characters and hides some plots, making the overall style change

It's much brighter.

Although these changes have hurt the integrity and rationality of the story to a certain extent, due to the bright style, they have expanded a large number of audiences, which has also made the drama instantly popular all over the country after it was broadcast.

Li Chuan still remembers the grand occasion after the broadcast of "The Hidden Corner".

At that time, various memes in the drama were prevalent and the topics were discussed very well. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were popular all over the country.

A drama that can make many actors successful.

This is what "The Hidden Corner" is like this.

The actors in "The Secret Corner" are not very popular, well-known, and the only one who can show off is Qin Hao, and the rest are not very good.

However, these unknown actors have made great progress in their careers after the broadcast of "The Secret Corner".

The most representative of them is Zhang Songwen.

Zhang Songwen is an old actor who has been acting for many years and has never been famous. It was not until he starred in Zhu Yongping (Zhu Chaoyang's father) in "The Secret Corner" that he entered the public eye.

Using this as a basis, he was able to play "Gao Qiqiang" in "The Crazy" later... As soon as "The Crazy" was released, his acting career was like a rocket, reaching the sky, becoming a famous actor in the country.

Zhou Mengxue is not Zhang Songwen, and she may not have such an experience in life.

However, being able to star in "The Hidden Corner" has many benefits for her.

Not to mention anything else, it will at least help her officially enter the film and television industry and gain a foothold.

Zhou Mengxue now only has one work "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary".

"Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" is a series of short dramas. Although it is very popular, it does not belong to traditional film and television works.

So in a strict sense, Zhou Mengxue has not yet officially entered the film and television industry.

It is very unrealistic for a newcomer who has not entered the film and television industry to become a big star and an actor overnight.

You have to walk step by step, you can’t be too ambitious and want to fly if you don’t learn to run.

In Li Chuan's view, if Zhou Mengxue wants to achieve her goal, her most important job is to officially enter the film and television industry and gain a foothold.

From this point of view, starring in "The Hidden Corner" is a very good opportunity.

"The Hidden Corner" is good, this is a good opportunity, you have to seize it," Li Chuan reminded.

"I want to seize it, but..."

"But what?"

"They only gave me a small character."

"ah?"

Li Chuan's face was stunned, then he reacted and slapped his forehead suddenly.

He almost forgot about this.

He just thought that "The Secret Corner" would become popular in the future, but he ignored the role.

"The Hidden Corner" will indeed become popular in the future. After becoming popular, it will indeed help many people improve their careers, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, the role is in place.

No matter how popular a drama is, it is impossible for all the actors in the drama to become popular. Only the protagonist and some supporting roles with heavy roles or with distinct positioning can become popular. Those roles are very few and the positioning is also

The audience generally cannot remember the characters that are not distinctive.

Therefore, Zhou Mengxue wants to officially enter the film and television industry by starring in "The Secret Corner" and gain a foothold, and her role is also very important.

"What role do they give you?"

"Xu Jing."

"Xu Jing?" Li Chuan frowned slightly.

"It's the wife of the villain Zhang Dongsheng."

"Oh~."

Li Chuan thought about it.

The story of "Bad Kids" was caused by Zhang Dongsheng.

In the story, Zhang Dongsheng is a top student with a bright future, but because of his poor family and being driven by love, he married Xu Jing and became a son-in-law.

He worked as a son-in-law for several years and did a good job, but he did not receive the attention of Xu Jing and his family. Instead, he lost his dignity as a man, which changed his mindset a lot.

Later, he discovered that Xu Jing had cheated on him and wanted to divorce him... According to the "Pre-marriage Agreement" signed at the time, he could not get a penny after he divorced Xu Jing.

He had no money, no love, and lost his dignity as a man... All this made his mind extremely distorted.

One day, he took a risk and pushed Xu Jing's parents off the cliff.

This scene happened to be photographed by Zhu Chaoyang and others on camera, which caused a series of subsequent changes.

In the original book "Bad Kid", Zhang Dongsheng is the main villain.

In "The Hidden Corner", Zhang Dongsheng's role positioning has been further strengthened.

Why strengthen it?

Because Zhang Dongsheng was played by Qin Hao.

Qin Hao is the biggest actor in "The Secret Corner" and the only actor who can stand out. In this way, his role will naturally be strengthened.

This may seem unreasonable, but this is the rule of society that no one can change.

Zhang Dongsheng's role is enhanced, and it is limited to the role of Zhang Dongsheng.

His wife Xu Jing did not increase much, but some scenes were cut off due to the role adjustment.

In his previous life, Li Chuan saw "The Hidden Corner" from the beginning and ended, but he never saw Xu Jing go abroad a few times. Later, he even forgot about this role.

He can't remember it, and the audience is likely to not remember it either.

From this we can see that the role of Xu Jing has a very low presence. Not only does she have few roles, but she is also not outstanding at all. It is a bit reluctant to say that she is a supporting role, but she is actually an extra.

It is impossible for an extra to absorb the booming bonus of "The Hidden Corner".

‘The role of Xu Jing is not good, you have to change the role.’’

‘Are there any suitable female characters in The Hidden Corner?’

Li Chuan frowned and thought.

There are not many female characters in the drama "The Secret Corner". If you want to talk about the most scenes, it must be Pupu.

But Pupu is a little girl, and Zhou Mengxue can't play it at all.

The second most scene is Zhu Chaoyang's mother, Zhou Chunhong.

But Zhou Chunhong's role is a middle-aged woman. Zhou Mengxue is only in her twenties and looks and figure like a little girl. It is not appropriate to play Zhou Chunhong.

‘Are there any other female characters besides Pupu and Zhou Chunhong?’

‘Hey, by the way! There is also Wang Yao!’

Li Chuan's eyes lit up.

In the play, Zhu Chaoyang's father Zhu Yongping is the boss of a fishery factory and has a lot of assets. After he divorced Zhu Chaoyang's mother Zhou Chunhong, he married another young and beautiful wife, who is Wang Yao.

The role of Wang Yao is very suitable for Zhou Mengxue.

Why?

First of all, the image is consistent.

Wang Yao is characterized by being young, beautiful, about thirty years old, and her dress is quite fashionable... Zhou Mengxue puts on makeup, then changes her clothes, and plays such a role without any pressure.

Secondly, the role is heavy enough.

Wang Yao is a relatively important supporting role, with enough roles and strong explosiveness.

The explosion point of Wang Yao's scenes mainly occurred after Zhu Jingjing's death.

Who is Zhu Jingjing?

Zhu Jingjing is the daughter of Zhu Yongping and Wang Yao.

According to blood relationship, Zhu Jingjing is Zhu Chaoyang's half-sister, but the relationship between the two is very bad and they didn't even know each other before.

Later, they met, but on the day they met, Zhu Jingjing, who was ill of a princess, insulted Zhu Chaoyang. Zhu Chaoyang was so angry that he pushed her downstairs and fell to death.

After Zhu Jingjing's death, Wang Yao felt that Zhu Chaoyang did all this out of his mother's intuition.

Therefore, she approached Zhu Chaoyang and Zhou Chunhong and created a series of vicious incidents.

From the initial suspicion to the subsequent creation of vicious events, they are all Wang Yao's explosion point.

These explosion points are the space for development.

Some people may say that the role of Wang Yao is more difficult to play, and Zhou Mengxue may be difficult to compete with.

Li Chuan doesn't think so.

Although he doesn't know how to act, he understands the importance of the script.

In his opinion, Wang Yao's explosion point has been designed in the script... In this case, there is no need for particularly clever acting skills. As long as Zhou Mengxue performs well and does not drag her back, she can leave a deep impression on the audience.

Moreover, he also believes in Zhou Mengxue's acting skills. If he plays the role of Wang Yao, it will not be as simple as "successful performance".

Zhou Mengxue is very explosive when she acts.

He had seen this many times before when filming on the crew of "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary", especially when the filming was in the late stage and Zhou Yuan was transformed into the ultimate boss, the effect Zhou Mengxue showed was really

Very explosive.

This effect is transplanted to Wang Yao and has a very high degree of compatibility.

This is also one of the main reasons why Li Chuan thinks Zhou Mengxue is suitable for playing Wang Yao... He has seen Zhou Mengxue's explosive acting skills that are hysterical but not out of control. He really thinks this method is very suitable for Wang Yao.

Of course, he looked at it from the perspective of an ordinary audience.

From the perspective of ordinary audiences, he felt that Zhou Mengxue's acting skills were particularly good and suitable for playing Wang Yao, but if he changed to some professional actors or performance experts, his ideas might be different.

However, it doesn't matter.

"The Secret Corner" was filmed for viewers, not for professional actors and performance experts.

What professional actors and performance experts think and see, it doesn’t matter.

Li Chuan's thinking logic is to take good care of most of the audience, and there is no need to pay attention to the rest.

"I remember there was a character in the original work, Zhu Chaoyang's stepmother, who seemed to be named Wang Yao. What do you think of this character?" Li Chuan asked again.

"Great."

Zhou Mengxue replied: "After reading the script, I want to play Wang Yao the most. This character has a lot of room for performance and is also very suitable for me..."

"Um."

Li Chuan nodded and asked again: "The Hidden Corner is made by iQiyi, right?"

"no."

"no?"

"It is a share show of iQiyi, but it is not made by iQiyi."

"Who did that?"

"Wannian Film and Television."

"Wannian Film and Television?"

Li Chuan frowned slightly: "Which is Wannian Film and Television?"

"A film and television company specializing in online dramas."

"What's the fuck?"

Li Chuan thought for a moment and asked again: "Is it effective to find iQiyi?"
