Special feature of 1905 film network "Changfeng Ferry" was launched for 41 hours, and the platform was hot and hot. Even the drama king who searched hard for a long time at the beginning of the year is hard to reach.Many people predicted the popularity of "Long Wind Crossing", but no one expected that it could explode so quickly.
Tell it to the judge, Love before Marriage, Two-way Cultivation … … In the early publicity of "Long Wind Crossing", there are many elements that are the hottest and eye-catching among the current costume themes, but are these contents like "buff" the key to the explosion? Perhaps looking at the past works in the whole market is obviously not enough.
This story has been done for three years, and even the director Yin Tao feels that this achievement is a "miracle" and the greatest recognition. "Chance and coincidence make a godsend marriage, and the ups and downs in troubled times will eventually join hands. This is the story of Jiusi Gu and Liu Yuru in Changfeng Du, and it is also the three years when all our team members met, knew each other and accompanied each other."
Undeniably, the drama series "Changfeng Ferry" has won numerous "highlights" in the recent drama market.
In an interview with Yu Fei, the producer of the drama, in 1905, he talked about the highlights of Chang Feng Du, bluntly saying, "After reading it internally, we knew it was a good work, and we also had expectations for it, but it was unexpected that it broke through 10,000 so quickly."
He attributed his success to actors and plays, "the growth of roles and the fate of his home country", and "the choice of actors and the performances presented".

Chang Feng Du is adapted from Mo Shubai’s novel of the same name, which is the early Marry Wan Ku. The novel began to be serialized in 2019. This story about "Love after Marriage" quickly became the first hit of ancient romance novels on the online platform that year.
The story is not just a simple Gu Yan. "There are also brotherly feelings, father-son feelings, mother-in-law feelings and so on, as well as things in the country and the world, so it is a work with a large pattern." Therefore, after reading the novel, Yu Fei and the team decided to cooperate with Fire Film and enter the creative stage.
Not long after, director Yin Tao joined the project, and the creative team discussed it together and reached a consensus to redesign the story.
As everyone knows, when the whole script was changed, it was changed for more than two years.In the end, the story is arranged into three chapters: Yizhou chapter, Youzhou chapter, and Dongdu chapter. "With the development of the story, elements such as commercial warfare tactics are added to make the plot richer and fuller."
Finally, in June 2022, the series was officially launched.Only when the actors were finalized one by one, the team and the actors began to create again. "During the shooting process, everyone will add a lot of temporary ideas according to the state at that time."
It was the first actor set by Changfeng Du. "We always felt that Yi Song was born with Liu Yuru."
After Liu Yuru was appointed, the team began to look for the most suitable other actors among a large number of actors, even the housekeeper around Gu Mu. "The directors were all decided after watching 200 actors, and we all chose according to the fit of actors and roles."
"Xiaobai () is a great surprise for us". After Yi Song was decided, Jiusi Gu’s candidate was still undecided. It was not until the production team communicated with Bai Jingting that the "two-way trip" was realized. Bai Jingting told the production team that he had read novels and scripts and bluntly said, "You may never find an actor who is more suitable for Jiusi Gu than me."
When reading the script, Bai Jingting completely replaced himself, and even found the feeling of other roles, thinking that Gu Fu should be a teacher. So, when the team decided that Bai Jingting would play Jiusi Gu, Sha Yi was invited to play Gu Fu.
"I think all this is the best arrangement." Speaking of the whole casting process, Yu Fei sighed.The actors really didn’t let everyone down. In Hengdian, which was over 40 degrees, every actor wore extremely thick fur. "Everyone worked very hard."
The "mutual-rolling" drama between men and women complements the "combustion improver" for the chemical action of the film."The acting skills of the two actors are very good. In this scene, I want them to find each other when they just entered the group." Based on past experience and understanding of the works of two actors, Director Yin Tao chose Liu Yuru as the first scene to catch Jiusi Gu with a knife.
As Yin Tao expected, Yi Song’s performance "stimulated" Bai Jingting’s desire to fight. "In this scene, Liu Yuru has a long line. During the filming process, no matter how to adjust the angle and change the position, Yi Song didn’t take a word wrong, and every scene maintained a very complete rhythm."
The two had a spark on the first day, and each subsequent performance was particularly good. More than that, every actor in "Long Wind Crossing" has integrated himself into the role.In Fei’s view, "our crew has no stars, only good actors, and there are no small actors."

After 130 days, Changfeng Ferry was finished in November of the same year.The story involves many content elements, and many netizens feedback that the pace of filming is too slow. But in fact, Yu Fei told us that in order to speed up the pace, the final volume of the first three episodes was based on the original five episodes, and about two episodes were cut out. "It is to let the male and female masters meet as soon as possible and make the rhythm more compact."
As mentioned repeatedly above, the original work of Changfeng Du itself is a story from two-way cultivation to two-way growth. "For example, Liu Yuru pinned her and her mother’s life on men, and then began to grow; Jiusi Gu also grew up and began to understand why Liu Yuru did that and began to study hard. "
In Chang Feng Du, the heroine will have a change in business, and the hero will change from a dude to a responsible person who wants to change the fate of his home. "Their growth needs time and space."
In order to take care of the audience’s drama-chasing experience, the team also chose to open the play in the form of light comedy. "As the plot progresses, there will be more and more plots for everyone to see."
Director Yin Tao has a saying, "Sweet into the pit, abuse into the heart".
Judging from his creative experience, the sweet love in the plot can naturally draw the audience into the story, and it also has the motivation to pursue the drama, but what really makes the audience remember is abuse. For this reason, in "Long Wind Crossing", there are naturally scenes that are cruel to the heart, such as Yang Wenchang’s giving ceremony, or perhaps the bloody kiss in the desert behind.
Yu Fei also sent "reassurance" to everyone in advance. "We will not abuse for the sake of abuse. When we shouldn’t abuse, Changfeng Ferry is still a work with good rhythm and atmosphere."
It is true that there are many classic famous scenes in "Long Wind Crossing", and the words jump together and are turned into pictures by the creative team. "I have watched the big scene of Yang Wenchang’s death, and every time I watch it, I will cry."
Just leave it to everyone’s heart, there will always be their own selfish bridge.
"There is a scene that may not have been noticed, that is, Jiusi Gu’s mother is by the river, and everyone urges her to sail. She resolutely orders to sail. At that time, her husband and son were not there, and she just wanted to protect others in the family business." When Yu Fei talked about these clips, there were many creators’ perceptions on the other side.
Of course, film and television works are always accompanied by regrets. When netizens talk about their favorite places, they will inevitably pointedly point out the existing problems. "I saw it with the director and discussed it privately, which will be avoided in future works."
As for the follow-up of "Long Wind Crossing", "the audience will definitely see a better Jiusi Gu and a better Liu Yuru, which will satisfy the audience."
