(Original title: We chatted with the producer of Princess go, how was this "magical" online drama filmed)

The domestic online drama "go Princess Go" is very popular recently. Since February, when 13 was launched in LeTV, it has achieved 870 million broadcasts.

Douban netizens, who have always been critical, gave the play 8.2 points. 500,000 people specially bought members of LeTV to watch this drama. Most of the audience's comments on this play are-too "magical".

Modern people have become ancient princesses. Under such a fresh setting, Lily is gay, and Mary Su and a lot of jokes are coming. Even the costumes are wonderful and the props are simple, which is actually very funny. As the netizen commented: "This drama is poisonous." "After watching one episode, I still want to watch two episodes, just like eating fried stinky tofu or Maoshanwang durian."

We interviewed Gan Wei, the producer of the play. As the person who decided to adapt the novel, the person who made the final decision for the director Lei (editing the finale behind closed doors), and the person who contributed the joke of "flirting with girls", Gan Wei answered many doubts of the audience.

The success of Princess go lies in grasping the "children's needs"-the young audience. If 20 1 1's "Walking on Thin Ice" is the first wave to bring the tide of crossing to the screen. "go Princess go" is an "upgrader" who once again catches up with the secondary taste.

On the other hand, many things are unexpected, and many influences can only be explained by "mistakes". For example, both directors and producers think clothes look good.

The plot setting of "Dress as a Woman": This kind of crossing form is unprecedented.

Why did you choose to shoot a story about "dressing up as a woman"?

I just found it attractive to dress up as a woman and decided to start adapting the script because it was very special. This is a time travel drama. It is not the first time that we have seen through Yue Opera. Walking on thin ice and Palace are both traditional time-travel dramas. But this form of men wearing women has never happened. Why don't we try?

A netizen commented, "This drama seriously reflects the audience's desire for the lack of BL theme". Do you think there is any reason for this?

This is what is needed in the market at present. This play just meets the inner needs of children now. But not exactly the same as BL. We have a lot of elements, all of which are aimed at girls born after 90 s and 00 s, such as rolling. This overbearing president should do something that every girl will fantasize about. Sadism in love triangle is also every girl's fantasy. Two men love her to death, just like the love of three men in the flower and the love of three men in the legend.

In Zhang Pengpeng, there are many scenes of flirting with little girls, touching their breasts and picking their chins. How did these scenes appear?

Because she is a drag queen, she is a playboy in the real world. That playboy likes to take advantage of others. When you meet a beautiful woman, it's normal to pinch your face, touch your ass and touch your chin. In ancient times, my god, she was a woman, and she also took the opportunity to eat other people's tofu. Wherever you go, dear. This is what we set.

Because it's hard to play. How do you know this is a man crossing a woman, and this man was a playboy before? Therefore, in words, in performances, in actions, we should reflect the characteristics of the characters. Not only a woman, but also a man at heart. Love takes advantage of petty gain. When she saw a woman, she called four concubines to the meeting. In fact, she is quite lewd and satisfies that desire.

Every time Zhang Pengpeng faces the camera, he will turn into a man's voice and spit on himself.

Form of expression. Like split personality. She is an ancient woman, Princess Zhang Pengpeng, but she is a modern person. She turned into a man's voice in front of the camera, which is what she wants to say most.

Everyone said that the play was too funny, and the punch line was designed successfully.

The comedy part is natural. There is a difference between modern and ancient times. Besides, he is a man. Form many contradictions and form chemical reactions.

On the Adaptation of Network Text

When did you buy the copyright of the novel?

On 20 12, my friend recommended this novel to me, saying it was good, so I read it, which was quite interesting. I bought it. Stranded for several years, I was filming another play. Finally, I picked out the copyright of many novels and decided to do it.

The character setting and story outline of online drama and novel are the same, but the details change greatly.

The story structure of the original book has not changed significantly. The screenwriter added details, dots and lines. I started to write the script in June of 20 14, and I wrote it for six months. Several factors must be put in, such as the overbearing president, right? Like that muscular guy, right? Sadism, a little bit, that weak, rotten thing, must be in it.

Have you thought of any other titles?

Originally, I didn't want to call Go Princess Go, so I took 20 names. I also thought of Bai Wan's name, meeting you on the other side of the world, Crown Princess 1/2 and so on. The poster has been changed several times and has been entangled. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Bai Wan is a bit too explicit and cliche, just like a beautiful woman. She was naked. Finally, I think princess go is more subtle and better. Others are too literary and traditional.

Novel cover, novel cover

About several leading actors: Crystal didn't adapt at first, and the prince just wanted to be cold on the outside and crazy on the inside.

It is said that the heroine was originally chosen by Cherrie Ying?

Yes, Cherrie Ying is my friend. When I read this novel, I think it suits her very well. I don't think she needs to act, just like the characters in the novel. However, considering the age and time, she is not as good as the post-90 s, and suggested that I use a new person. In the end, we all used newcomers.

How was the crystal chosen? She is now called a new generation of "national husband".

Crystal was recommended by the director. They used to work together. Zhang Pengpeng's role was so important that he took the lead. At that time, there were many choices.

She is not that kind of woman. When we were ready to boot, we trained them. It's also a headache. This role needs acting so much that Crystal can't adapt at first. Especially in the front, it is not so easy to play with a man's body and a woman's heart. We rehearsed with Crystal and discussed the concept. But she worked hard and didn't let us down in the end.

How did you decide to let Peter play the prince?

We are all newcomers. First of all, one thing, not acting. Be sure to have some experience and face value. In addition, there are people who meet this personality, which is necessary and the most crucial. You said that no matter how handsome you are, you don't fit the role of a prince, and you don't fit it. The prince has a cold face. Peter is just right for me. I'm introverted.

Zhang Pengpeng is lively, but the prince is cold. It is said that he can also perform facial paralysis. How to consider this kind of person?

The role of the prince is cold and sudden on the surface, but his heart is full of love for Zhang Pengpeng. I am surrounded by sweet-talking men every day. I love you. Formally, maybe you don't care. The more cold-blooded, the more enthusiastic. You know, people tend to be abused. You should satisfy this abused thing.

Nine Wang Yongyuan is dressed in white and feels very fairy. How did you choose Alan Yu?

When Wang Jiu first met him here, he was wearing a white dress. I was particularly impressed. I said I could play the role of nine kings and decided to meet you at the first time.

Must be like Prince Charming in Shuai Shuai, inadvertently, more elegant.

The maid hedge of the crown princess is also a well-received role, very cute.

Hedging is also selected by the director and deputy director. At that time, several candidates decided to choose her. Because she is obviously different from the crown princess. The crown princess is a big Tsing Yi, and the hedge is like a small Hua Dan.

Fiction, playing Yang Yan, was born in 1997. How did he find it?

The assistant director found it on his Weibo, which is very suitable for the characters.

About clothes, props, hair dryers, implanted advertisements, bed plays and other slots: many effects are wrong.

Let's talk about "fashion" what do you think?

The director was recommended by our screenwriter. He said it was good and thoughtful. At that time, we were looking for young directors to cooperate everywhere. After talking to ray, we have a special agreement. We wanted to do fashion costume drama, not traditional costume drama, to subvert traditional costume drama.

Q: Does subversion mean taste? )

Subversion comes from costume modeling. What we are discussing now is what we must do.

How did the "subversive" design inspiration come from?

The director designed it in the early stage and found many pictures of the catwalk, saying that we would shoot a fashion costume drama based on it. I think we hit it off very well.

Why does the director want to be a fashion designer himself? I heard that at most 50 suits were designed in one night.

Blame it on our inexperience. My first costume drama. The cost is relatively high. Design from beginning to end, including clothes. We borrowed it at first, but it went against our original intention. We're going to do a fashionable costume drama, which looks good. The budget is not that much, so let's do it ourselves. Zhang Yimou's fashion designer, a Japanese teacher, will make what we want according to his color.

Why don't eunuchs and doctors wear pants?

They don't wear pants ... they wear shorts. In fact, the director is designed according to big brands.

Do they still have interesting things like sunflowers and Chanel logos on their heads?

It is also a spit point. At the time of planning, we thought that everyone would come to vomit, there would be attention, and vomiting would be successful.

What happened to the prince's navel nail?

It started with the catwalk (imitating a big brand). Everyone saw the navel. I often ask the director if that stick can be changed. What did the director say was awesome? I said it was the shelf behind you. It's actually a catwalk. The director said it was a symbol of the royal family.

So, in terms of clothing, is the director completely serious?

The director is serious. You will find it funny to have a piece of wood on your back. But we are serious. You will think the play is funny, but you will think that these people are serious. However, it is also a slot.

Well, even if the director is serious, did you see the costume design?

I think it looks good. What do you vomit about carp dragon gate? I have similar tastes with the director. Every time the director watches me wear clothes, Wei always thinks you look good in this dress. He's the fashion director, and he still smells like this. Since we want to subvert, why not do it to the extreme? Half a bucket of Water jingle is meaningless.

Some netizens found that the shooting location was the same as "Nirvana in Fire".

In Xiangshan. The director wants a Japanese feeling. The house is short, Xiangshan is the feeling of the Three Kingdoms period, which is more suitable for our style. We used the same position as Nirvana in The Legend of Fire and Mi Yue.

Did you build this building yourself? Is the color particularly bright?

The building originally existed in Xiangshan. Many scenes appeared, such as Nirvana in Fire and The Legend of Mi Yue. But their color is the original color, which is darker. We want something younger and brighter. We painted the floor and columns you see. Blue, rose and green things are very bright.

There are white stones everywhere on the floor. Because the director went to see the scenery the day before the boot, he was still not satisfied and the color effect was not very good. The production director told me that the director wanted to put a lot of Grand White Rock on it, and I said no problem.

Almost all the pictures are pursuing the elegant feeling of wind-blown hair. Why do you like blowers so much?

That's why I started. I keep telling the director if you shoot too many elegant things. I said we weren't filming MV, and I was particularly afraid of filming MV. But the final effect is right, and the director should render a beautiful feeling.

But there is only one blower. Did the director complain that the production director only approved one for him, and 1000 yuan could not be bought?

Because directors and producers are contradictory. The director must demand perfection, the most perfect things in all aspects, more time and a big budget, because there is a lot of room for him to play. Producers should think about what the producers with so much money can do best under the tight budget. So this is always a contradiction.

Why are there so few props in the first ten episodes? Is the crew particularly poor?

This is also a question of our experience. Our army went to Xiangshan, but we didn't do much homework. I don't know whether to reserve props in advance. We thought there must be a lot of props on the set, but a big TV series was being filmed at that time, and all the props were borrowed, leaving us few props, so the previous party felt very empty and there were few props. So everyone thinks this is a poor group.

But also funny. For example, the prince wants to chase nine kings and so on. "There is a sedan chair for me to chase." In fact, he is carrying a very ordinary chair. This became a joke.

This is indeed a mistake, which has made one of the spit points of this drama.

What is the budget?

The pre-budget and post-budget are added together, almost 20 million.

How long did it take?

The total shooting time is *** 80 days, which is very long compared with the traditional online drama.

The director mentioned that he actually wanted to shoot an American horror story with a style of painting, and the picture was weird and fashionable.

The director mentioned a lot, like many scenes, and he has reference pictures. We often send WeChat in the middle of the night. What effect should we do? I didn't quite understand what the director wanted, so I sent it to me. For example, in one scene, people follow Zhang Pengpeng. She was wearing a light pink dress and smiled back, which was especially beautiful. Spartacus sent to me by the director, the woman in tulle skirt, the feeling of looking back, coupled with high-speed camera shooting, is beautiful. We are all in the first few rounds of communication. What should we do?

The photography of this play has been praised by many netizens.

The director is a very successful photographer. Photographer signed by Leica. Before I met him, I had seen many photos, all of which were very nice. I didn't know he took it.

Did the opening idea come from cutting fruit?

No, it's not. We didn't have a budget at first. Last year, during the National Day holiday, the director told me that he wanted to shoot something with such a new concept, so I paid for it myself.

The result is cut out, like cutting fruit. It's really hanging Weiya. In the shed, very handsome, with a turning point.

As the director said, people in the matrix are flying, bumping and positioning. However, has our equipment reached it? Our equipment is limited. Almost finished. It was taken at the cabin on the last day.

Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical made an implant advertisement. How is the cooperation achieved?

We were about to shoot when suddenly the advertising seller told us that there was an advertisement for implanting a crown princess. Hey, I said there was an advertisement for a costume drama implant, which was quite good. Just talk about it, talk about the conditions. They are also quite interested in the play. The director is very serious, and the eggs he shoots need an egg. Because the advertisement was moved again, the script was moved again.

But not afraid of affecting business?

So I finally reduced a lot, of course, within the scope of the contract.

In the 24th episode, I filmed a sex scene. This video was recently screened in a circle of friends.

We don't want sex scenes, we want eroticism, which is aestheticism. It is possible for us to make the interaction between the hero and heroine beautiful and expressionless, and to express the love between the hero and heroine. We are not for dew point, but to pave the way for emotion, naturally.

As soon as the sex scene came out, everyone said that Brother Mao had finally bent completely.

Twist it into a twist and it becomes mosquito-repellent incense. She was slowly influenced and accepted the prince.

The back is mainly emotional, and there will be a sense of drama, which is one of the reasons why Douban scored 8.2 points.

In front of him, after all, it is a man crossing a woman, not a drama. Later, I slowly fell in love with the prince, then returned to normal love and emotion, and gradually tilted towards drama. The front is the hardest, she has been struggling.

Many critics say that "this is a drama with flavor", and there are often some jokes of "shit and fart" type.

The punch line follows the plot. Many people say that our play is so beautiful that we always fart. The plot needs, plus some effects. For example, she ate a bad stomach and slept in a room with the prince, who looked at her behind her. Her figure is beautiful, full of feelings, and her music is full of feelings. Suddenly she farted and the prince fell. The embodiment of characters' personality and progressive emotion show Zhang Pengpeng's unrestrained personality. Just like a cake, sweet but not greasy.

About the ending, update speed and sequel plan: the director is editing the double ending.

I'm afraid this play is hard for the elderly to accept.

It is especially clear that it is for the post-90 s and post-00 s. We customized the play for them, and the post-80s generation is a small audience. The name of our company is Yang Le Film and Television, and the English name is Young. The audiences of online dramas and TV dramas are completely different, with different audiences and different hobbies.

Everyone says this is the most suitable drama to watch on the barrage website. You put the video on bilibili?

Bilibili refused to cooperate at first. In the early stage, because of copyright issues and traffic loss, they were not sure what the princess could do. Later, 14 episode was released, which was said on purpose. Bilibili is very important, facing the post-90s and post-00s.

After purchasing LeTV members, you should be able to see the complete works at one time. But the play is still in serial form. How many episodes are updated every few days? Is this hunger marketing?

In fact, we all want to be free. It's just that four episodes are too hot. Members should be able to watch the complete works. While editing, I can't keep up. It's really not that we do hunger marketing, there's really no way.

Why do you want to broadcast while editing?

Letv has no time to pick up the file because there is no film. In addition, we are really in a hurry. The director cuts the film himself, which is slower, because he does it himself, demanding perfection and slowing down.

Is the director still cutting?

Now the director is still cutting the last few episodes, which is even more difficult. Because the ending and the beginning are very important.

How will it end? Is Miguel with the prince, or is he back to modern times, or is everything Zhang Peng's dream?

We will have two different versions of the ending. The director is working on it. We'll talk about it then.

Since it's a cut broadcast, will you think of extending the series after the fire?

The director edited it himself. I told the director to find a good clip to help him cut it first, but the director had to rely on himself in the end, which was too much for his health. I am discussing with him now. If he's okay, we can cut an unedited version.

This drama has been deleted a lot, how to cross it and save several people, all of which are required to be deleted, because the rhythm requires attracting you and catching the audience at once.

Is there a similar play in your company next?

This year, Yang Le Film and Television will shoot four online dramas and a movie. The medicine can't stop. The Peach Queen adapted from Rao Xueman's novel is waiting for her progress. The content can't be published for the time being, but it is still young and interesting.
