The breaking point of the funny short drama "Never Expected" is the extremely ironic funny joke and the classic role of Wang Da Hammer.

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

"Never Expected" can become the No. 1 drama on the Internet, in the era when the mobile Internet has not yet exploded, creating a myth of more than 1 billion views per episode, it must be inseparable from those classic funny jokes.

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

In addition to the excellent funny jokes, the essence of this drama is the role of Wang Da Hammer, and even "Wang Da Hammer" has become a phenomenal IP.

It is difficult for many people in later generations to understand how popular Wang Da Hammer's super dick is, just like many people are deeply skeptical about "Was Jay Chou really so popular back then".

It can be said that the role of Wang Da Hammer was the top class of the year, and it became popular all over the country, so that in the first few years of Bai Ke's debut, almost no one called him by his real name, and they called him Wang Da Hammer.

All the characters in "Never Expected" can be replaced at any time, only the role of Wang Da Hammer cannot be replaced, and this drama only has one role of Wang Da Hammer, and the rest of the characters are all accompanied, and none of them are really remembered by the audience.

It is precisely because of the importance of the role of Wang Dazhui that Li Zhe is also very cautious about casting, Guo Jian contacted several group leaders and recommended more than 10 people to be selected, and all of them were passed by him.

Either the actor and the role do not match, or the actor's personality is not good.

I couldn't find a suitable one in the group performance, and the schools of the art academies would not come to perform online dramas, and finally Li Zhe set his sights on his roommate Luo Minghao.

Luo Minghao, both in figure and appearance, is quite similar to Bai Ke, to what extent, just like the similarity between Teacher Ning Li and Bai Ke when he was young, it can be said that he is very similar.

Li Zhe glanced at Luo Minghao twice when he first saw him, but there are not many ordinary people who collide with celebrities, just like Jay Chou, the female version of Xiao Yueyue, etc.

But it doesn't mean that if you look like a star, you also have the opportunity to be a star, but the rise of the media in later generations has allowed many people who look like stars to gain a wave of popularity.

Li Zhe didn't look for Luo Minghao at first because he was afraid that he would not want to act, and when he said in his dormitory after graduation that he wanted to film, Luo Minghao did not show any interest.

Unexpectedly, he found Luo Minghao and asked, and after a little hesitation, the other party expressed his willingness to act.

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

If he told Chen Yuhang, this kind of playful skit would be popular, he would definitely not believe it at all, but Luo Minghao did not question it, but said after careful consideration, he still wanted to experience the feeling of acting.

As for if the drama is really popular, whether or not to continue acting in the future will be discussed later.

Early in the morning of October 1st, Li Zhe took Luo Minghao to Tongzhou first, and after picking up Shen Xinyi and her eye-catching best friend Mu Xiaomin, he went straight to Huairou Film and Television Base.

After the relationship was confirmed on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhe and Shen Xinyi did not have many opportunities to date because they were busy with the company's affairs, and they didn't even see each other in the past few days, just called and texted, and there were online videos.

Now that the National Day holiday is here, it would be a little too much to say if he didn't accompany this Shen obediently, so he simply took her to film with him.

It's just that he didn't expect Mu Xiaomin to go with him, seeing Shen Xin's pleading appearance, Li Zhe had no choice but to bring the light bulb.

By the time Li Zhe and his entourage 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 very few people in the crew, an executive director, an assistant director, a photographer, a makeup artist, a costume and props artist, a lighting engineer, plus Guo Jian and the two classmates he called over to help, a total of 10 people.

The filming equipment was also quite rudimentary, with only two DV cameras, and a seven-seater van for costumes and props, as well as transporting the crew.

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

Buy such a van in the capital, buy is earned, now the capital has not restricted the issuance of car licenses, buy a car to give a license, and wait until more than ten years later, when a license plate in Beijing is hard to find, a license plate is worth hundreds of thousands.

Seeing Li Zhe coming, Guo Jianjian came up with the crew, "Zhezi, you can count it." ”

Li Zhe looked at the crew present and was quite satisfied.

Don't look at this is just a 10-person grass stage crew, but these people are also carefully selected by him, and they are quite experienced, especially the executive director Zhou Guoliang is an assistant director who has been in the industry for many years, and he has quite rich shooting experience.

These manpower were used to shoot "Never Expected", which can be said to be more than enough.

The filming conditions of the original "Never Expected" were extremely simple, with two SLR cameras, 10 or so staff members, and the cost of one episode was only 2,000.

The filming location was to find a random location with a few thatched houses in the studio, and then wait for the camera to be set up, Luo Minghao and the actor who played opposite him also changed into a coarse cloth costume, and the filming can start.

There are only two actors in the first episode of "Low-cost Martial Arts Drama", and the cost of actors really can't be lower, the actor who plays the opposite role with Luo Minghao is selected from the group performance, a middle-aged fat man, slightly obscene in appearance, has played several special roles, responsible for playing Minions One, Minions Two , Demon King, and Princess.

Before the start of filming, Li Zhe first glanced at the time, it was more than 9 o'clock, Chen Yuhang's kid should not come over, before this kid clamored to come to the filming, and asked to leave him a role, but the pigeon didn't come.

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

There are two cameras, but there is only one photographer, and Li Zhe, the director, is also responsible for the camera.

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

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

The assistant director's cameo made a small slap on the board, "Action! ”

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

In order to highlight the temperament of the dick, he also gave him a glance at the mustache and made his face sallow yellow.

"My name is Wang Dazhui and I'm filming a low-budget martial arts drama, which is too low-cost......" This is the narration outside the play.

But there was no narration during the shooting, and it all relied on the actors' expressions and movements to express their emotions, so they couldn't understand Shen Xinyi, Mu Xiaomin and Guo Jian from the side, and they didn't know what this was filming.

Shortly after the filming began, a white BMW drove over from a distance and stopped on the side of the road, and Chen Yuhang, Yu Jiajia, and a sweet-looking beautiful girl walked out of the car together.
