Who has the choice after being reborn? I want them all

The highlight of this funny short drama "Never Expected" is the extremely sarcastic jokes and the classic character Wang Dachui.

The essence of comedy is to use jokes to arouse people's emotions. As long as the funny jokes are well connected, it will be a comedy of good quality.

"Never Expected" could become the number one drama on the Internet. In an era when the mobile Internet had not yet exploded, it created the myth of having more than 10 billion views on a single episode. It must be inseparable from those classic funny jokes.

Classic lines like "get promoted and get a raise, become general manager, become CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life" are still circulating on the Internet many years later.

In addition to the excellent funny jokes, the essence of this drama is the character of Wang Dachui, and even "Wang Dachui" has become a phenomenon-level IP.

It is difficult for many people in later generations to understand how popular Wang Dachui, a super loser, is, just like many people have deep doubts about "Was Jay Chou really that popular back then?"

It can be said that the character of Wang Dachui was the top character of the year and became so popular all over the country that in the first few years of Baike's debut, almost no one called him by his real name and they all called him Wang Dachui.

All the characters in "Unexpectedly" can be replaced at any time, only the character Wang Dachui is irreplaceable, and this drama only has one character, Wang Dachui, that is popular, and the rest of the characters are all gone, and none of them are really loved by the audience. Remember.

Precisely because of the importance of the role of Wang Dachui, Li Zhe was particularly cautious about casting. Guo Jian contacted several group leaders and recommended about 10 people for the role, but he passed them all.

Either the actor doesn't fit the character, or the actor's personality isn't good enough.

He couldn't find a suitable actor among the extras, and art schools wouldn't come to act in online dramas. In the end, Li Zhe set his sights on his roommate Luo Minghao.

Luo Minghao is very similar to Baike in both body and appearance. To what extent, it is just like the similarity between Teacher Ning Li and Baike when they were young. It can be said that they are very similar.

When Li Zhe met Luo Minghao for the first time, he looked at him twice. However, there are not many ordinary people who bump into celebrities, such as Jay Chou, the female version of Xiao Yueyue, etc.

But that doesn’t mean that if you look like a celebrity, you will have a chance to become one. However, the rise of self-media in later generations has allowed many people who look like celebrities to become popular.

Li Zhe didn't approach Luo Minghao at first because he was afraid that he wouldn't want to act. When he said he wanted to film in the dormitory after graduation, Luo Minghao didn't show any interest.

Unexpectedly, when he asked Luo Minghao, he hesitated for a while and expressed his willingness to act.

Although Luo Minghao had already agreed, Li Zhe still explained the pros and cons of the matter to the other party clearly, telling him that if the show became popular, his life and future development would likely be affected.

If you told the boy Chen Yuhang that this kind of short play that looked like a joke would be popular, he would definitely not believe it at all. However, Luo Minghao did not question it. Instead, after careful consideration, he said that he still wanted to experience the feeling of acting.

As for whether or not to continue acting if the show becomes really popular, we can wait until later.

On the morning of October 10st, Li Zhe took Luo Minghao to Tongzhou first, picked up Shen Xinyi and her annoying best friend Mu Xiaomin, and went straight to the Huairou Film and Television Base.

After the relationship was confirmed on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhe was busy with the company, so he didn't have many opportunities to date with Shen Xinyi. They didn't even see each other in the past few days. They only made phone calls, text messages, and online videos.

Now that the National Day holiday is here, it would be unreasonable not to stay with Shen Guaiguai, so he simply took her with him to film the movie.

But he didn't expect that Mu Xiaomin would also go with him. Seeing Shen Xin's pleading look, Li Zhe had no choice but to take the light bulb with him.

When Li Zhe and his party arrived at the Huairou Film and Television Base, it was already past 8 o'clock, and Guo Jian and the crew had been waiting for a while.

There are only a few people in the crew, including an executive director, an assistant director, a photographer, a makeup artist, a costume and prop artist, a lighting engineer, plus Guo Jian and the two classmates he called over to help, there are only 10 people in total.

The filming equipment was also quite rudimentary, with only two DV cameras and a seven-seater van used to store costumes and props and transport the crew.

Li Zhe bought two such vans, one for Quwan Technology and one for Lemon Entertainment. This van under the name of Lemon Entertainment is currently driven by Guo Jian.

If you buy a minivan like this in the capital, you will make money if you buy it. Now the capital has not restricted the issuance of car license plates. When you buy a car, you will be given a license plate. When it is difficult to find a license plate in Beijing in more than ten years, a license plate will be worth 10,000+.

Seeing Li Zhe coming, Guo Jianli immediately came up with the crew and said, "Zhezi, you are here."

Li Zhe took a look at the crew members present and found them quite satisfied.

Although this is just a grass stage crew of 10 people, these people were carefully selected by him and have quite a lot of experience. Especially the executive director Zhou Guoliang is an assistant director who has been in the industry for many years and has quite a lot of shooting experience.

These manpower can be said to be more than enough for the filming of "Unexpectedly".

The shooting conditions for the original version of "Unexpectedly" were extremely simple. There were only two SLR cameras and about 10 staff members. The cost of one episode was only [-] yuan. The studio and director Yi Xiaoxing each invested [-] yuan. The employees were all Salaries are not included in the cost.

The filming location was to randomly find a venue with a few thatched houses in the movie theater. After setting up the camera, Luo Minghao and the actor who starred opposite him also changed into a pair of coarse cloth ancient costumes. Filming started.

The first episode of "Low-Cost Martial Arts Drama" only had two actors. The cost of actors couldn't be any lower. The actor who played opposite Luo Minghao was selected from the extras. He was a middle-aged fat man with a slightly slender appearance. He is wretched and has played several special roles, responsible for playing the roles of Minion One, Minion Two, the Demon King, and the Princess.

Before the filming started, Li Zhe took a look at the time. It was already past 9 o'clock, and that boy Chen Yuhang probably wouldn't be coming. Previously, this boy clamored to come and watch the filming and asked for a role to be reserved for him, but he didn't come.

"Director, it's time to start shooting." The executive director walked to the camera and said to Li Zhe.

There are two camera positions, but only one photographer. Director Li Zhe is also responsible for the camera.

In fact, he is dispensable as a director. He is only responsible for checking and reviewing the shooting effects.

Li Zhe's eyes fell on Luo Minghao and Luo Minghao in the middle of the shooting location. He waved his hand and said, "Let's start shooting."

The assistant director made a guest appearance and typed on the small board, "Action!"

Luo Minghao was wearing a coarse cloth costume, holding a plastic toy short knife in his hand, and stood in front of a thatched house with a confused look on his face.

In order to highlight his diaosi temperament, he also had a mustache glued on him and his face was made up waxy yellow.

"My name is Wang Dachui. I am an actor. I am filming a low-cost martial arts drama. This is too low-cost..." This is the off-screen narration.

But there was no narration during filming, and all the actors' expressions and movements were used to express emotions. Therefore, Shen Xinyi, Mu Xiaomin, and Guo Jian who were watching on the sidelines were a little confused and didn't know what was being filmed. .

Not long after the shooting started, a white BMW drove up from a distance and parked on the side of the road. Chen Yuhang, Yu Jiajia, and a beautiful and sweet-looking girl got out of the car together.
