Compared to Wu Gang, the one who was most surprised was actually Zhang Shaogang.
When people sit at home, joy comes from heaven.
Until the recording started, Zhang Shaogang did not fully accept this reality.
Inexplicably, an opportunity fell in front of him.
He felt that he was really lucky to know Yue Guan.
When a person reaches middle age, things turn around and his career unexpectedly blossoms into a second spring.
Before Yue Guan found him, he had already given up on continuing to work in the host industry.
Now, it smells so good.
Of course, Zhang Shaogang will not forcefully pretend to express himself like Gao Xiaosong. He is a top host from CCTV. He has a good grasp of the identity and presence of the host. He always positions himself as a support and the guests are the program. center of gravity.
After arriving at the recording studio, he briefly chatted with Yue Guan Wu Gang about the content to be recorded. After the official meeting to record, he went straight to the topic.
"Teacher Wu, are you surprised that the character Li Dakang in "In the Name of the People" became so popular?"
Wu Gang told the truth: "Actually, it was expected. As we all know, Yue Guan's dramas are usually very popular, and Li Dakang is the leading actor in "In the Name of the People." I was surprised that this role could actually come to me, and Yue Guan He actually gave me a supporting role. In the industry, it is customary that whoever is popular is Ichiban. Yue Guan is definitely more popular than me. I proposed that he be the male lead, but Yue Guan actively refused and gave the opportunity to Me, that’s something I’m surprised and grateful for.”
If Yue Guan wants to be the leading actor, no one can stop him, and no one will stop him.
Zhang Shaogang turned his attention to Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, talk to us, why don't you write your name on the male lead?"
Yue Guan explained: "First, because Li Dakang was originally set to be the leading actor, Qi Tongwei's role is actually less than that of Li Dakang. Second, Li Dakang is the positive character, and Qi Tongwei is the villain. He has done a lot of wrong things, and such a character should not be the male protagonist. We who are engaged in literary and artistic work should still try our best to convey correct values to the audience. I am not opposed to a bad guy being the leading actor, but a drama like that, It’s not suitable for minors to watch, it needs to be classified.”
Dragon Kingdom actually has a precedent for bad guys to be the protagonists, so it would be good if they were classified.
So Qi Tongwei can really be the leading actor in "In the Name of the People".
This is why many people were surprised when they saw Qi Tongwei ranked second in the cast list.
After all, after all, Yue Guan's status is much higher than that of Wu Gang. There is no reason for Yue Guan to match Wu Gang.
But Yue Guan did just that.
Today when I come to "Xiao Shuo", he is also here to explain this matter.
Unfortunately, Gao Xiaosong did not cooperate.
So Yue Guan replaced him.
Zhang Shaogang obviously knew that the focus should be on the guests, and all the questions he asked were straight to the point: "So Yue Guan, you deliberately put Qi Tongwei in second place."
"Yes, actually I don't want Qi Tongwei's character to be sympathized with by too many people. In fact, Qi Tongwei has already taken over the spotlight. This is my fault. Maybe I acted too well. Plus, "Promising Young Man" That song made countless viewers empathize with him, causing Qi Tongwei to leave the industry directly."
Speaking of this, Yue Guan was also a little helpless.
At that time, he just wanted to record the song "Young and Promising" to increase the popularity of "In the Name of the People" and Qi Tongwei.
But the lyrics of the song "Young and Promising" are really heartbreaking.
As a result, the song became popular in a short period of time, making countless fans feel the same way.
After listening to the song, these fans simply searched for the story behind the song and found Qi Tongwei.
Then, they finished watching "In the Name of the People", and they also watched it from Qi Tongwei's perspective.
After reading it, I felt heartbroken.
Qi Tongwei's appearance in the film was unexpected by Yue Guan. His acting skills as Jiang Yang were obviously not bad, but Qi Tongwei basically overshadowed all the limelight.
Zhang Shaogang also understood this. Hearing this, he chuckled and said: "The character Qi Tongwei is indeed very popular. The TV series "In the Name of the People" has actually made many popular characters, but the most popular ones are Secretary Dakang and "Secretary Dakang" played by Wu Gang. Yue Guan, you played Qi Tongwei. After watching this drama, these two characters are actually my favorite."
"Who do you like more, Teacher Zhang?"
Zhang Shaogang hesitated for a moment and said: "I like Li Dakang more. Although Li Dakang did not encounter as many difficulties as Qi Tongwei, he also encountered many evil people. But in the face of these temptations and difficulties, Li Dakang never forgot his original intention . In comparison, Qi Tongwei is still weaker."
Yue Guan nodded: "I think so too. Qi Tongwei's character is actually worthy of sympathy, but you don't need to sympathize too much, let alone forcefully clear his name. If nothing else, Qi Tongwei can't find someone to hit Chen Hai. Chen Hai is Chen Yang's younger brother, bumping into Chen Hai is tantamount to hurting Chen Yang. In fact, many scenes in the play hinted that Qi Tongwei had become a scumbag after kneeling back then, but the audience selectively ignored these Drama.”
Because of Yue Guan's role as Qi Tongwei, he cut out some of Qi Tongwei's more uncomfortable plots, such as helping his fellow villagers get away with crimes. There was no need to film that kind of plot.
However, Qi Tongwei paid for murder, colluded with Gao Xiaoqin's businessmen, and colluded with Zhao Ruilong. This is all confirmed in the play, and the plot is rich and colorful.
But Qi Tongwei is still sympathized by many viewers.
In this regard, Yue Guan can only say that Qi Tongwei's character is too good, and he is too handsome...
Zhang Shaogang can understand what Yue Guan means.
In fact, he didn't tell the truth just now.
In the drama "In the Name of the People", he prefers Qi Tongwei.
However, as a host, he knows that he should give correct value guidance, so he said that his favorite character is Li Dakang.
At the same time, he also cooperated with Yue Guan and asked Yue Guan to express his knowledge of Qi Tongwei and guide his fans to view Qi Tongwei correctly.
This is the social responsibility that a host and artist should have.
It is best for celebrities not to speak hastily about some public matters before they understand them.
However, if matters related to themselves cause adverse consequences, celebrities have the obligation to speak up and stop them in time.
After enjoying the glory of being cheered by thousands of people, one should assume corresponding obligations.
This is the principle that Yue Guan has always practiced.
"Qi Tongwei is a character created by me. I love him more than anyone else, but I sincerely hope that everyone will not like Qi Tongwei too much. Jiang Yang deserves to be liked by more people. I only hope that there will be more Jiang Yang in real life and more With less Qi Tongwei, our tomorrow will be better."
After saying this, Yue Guan felt another golden wheel of merit condensed behind his head.
