It's not easy to listen to "Stewed Sydney with Rock Sugar" whose name is very similar to the youth idol drama. There are two voices worthy of attention in the hot discussion: as the first big drama with the theme of ice sports in China, all the ice scenes involved are real shots; In addition, Wu Dajing, Olympic gold medalist in short track speed skating, was invited as a guest. However, it remains to be seen whether the title of "sweet and greasy" means that it is still a love drama with an industry and professional shell.
"Stewed Sydney with Rock Sugar" officially appeared in public for the first time, which should be at the Beijing (Spring) TV Show Fair last year. At that time, it was not only "the TV series concerned by Beijing Radio and Television Bureau", but also recommended by "Beijing Olympic City Development Promotion Center" as the first TV series with ice theme in China. From this point of view, the ice competitive elements in the play are naturally extraordinary.
It is the first to break into the field of vision of netizens and audiences, or the sweet emotional drama part. In the investment information of Zhejiang Satellite TV's new drama, which came out on the 4th of this month, it was clearly mentioned that Stewed Sydney with Rock Sugar was a companion piece of the 20 18-year-old high-profile drama "Sweet honey is as heavy as frost", and the directors, producers and other behind-the-scenes creators were all original people.
The exposed plot shows that the main story line of Stewed Sydney with Rock Sugar is the CP composed of Janice's "speed skating girl" Tang Xue and "ice hockey male god" Li Yubing (played by Zhang Xincheng). In the process of chasing dreams on ice, the story of sincere love is harvested.
In the previous trailer flowers, whether it was Tang Xue, Li Yubing's childhood friends, reunion on the university campus, or Li Yubing's design turned Tang Xue into his "abused" assistant, resulting in feelings, unexpected kisses, etc., all of them featured the "sweet and greasy" style. Chongqing morning post, an upstream news reporter, noticed that up to now, the topic that netizens are most concerned about is how the two leading actors "distribute sugar" in the play.
At the same time, Tang Xue has an intersection with Yan Yu, the "Prince of Flower Slipping". In the preview, Tang Xue took the initiative to hold Yan Yu's hand, which is undoubtedly an emotional line that cannot be ignored in the play.
However, it is particularly important to note that the director group of "Stewed Sydney with Rock Sugar" specifically mentioned more than once that the most attractive thing in the whole drama is not just the emotional line of "Rock Sugar CP". As the first ice sports drama in China, short track speed skating, ice hockey and figure skating are also involved in the drama.
In this regard, the director group has indeed spent a lot of time. When visiting the class during the filming last year, producer Liu Ning introduced that in order to maximize the visual effect and professionalism, the crew asked the professional team to build a large-scale ice rink of 30 meters by 60 meters, which was in line with international professional events; The production team also opened two other 1500 square meters studios, which were used as university dormitories and ice hockey clubs.
At the same time, the crew also specially trained the athletes of China's national ice project team who have a photographic foundation to participate in ice shooting. Zhu Ruibin, the general director, also revealed that at present, there will be a game every three or four episodes, and the competition will be upgraded with the plot, and there will be a process of growing up with the character.
At the same time, according to the drama, "Stewed Sydney with Rock Sugar" should be a TV series with the largest number of professional athletes invited in China. They include an Olympic champion (namely Wu Dajing), four world champions, five national champions, one international athlete, five national athletes and four national first-class athletes. Some athletes will also represent China in the Winter Olympics to be held in Beijing in 2022. They either participate in the performance or serve as professional directors of the ice projects in the play.
The preview also shows that Tang Xue's selfless gallop on the short track speed skating track, Li Yu-bing's tenacious struggle on the ice hockey field, and Yan Yu's graceful skill on the flower skating surface all look like models. This has initially proved that the director group has spent a lot of time on "professionalism".
