With its unique innovative model and excellent content and quality, Peace Hotel has become the first-year word-of-mouth drama in 2018, and its word-of-mouth effect has also made the industry see the energy that the quality-first strategy can explode. Zhejiang Satellite TV plays solo with quality, bringing viewers a brand-new aesthetic experience.

On February 28th, at the expert seminar of TV series Peace Hotel hosted by China Television Art Committee, many experts from TV producers, broadcasters and film and television industry discussed the innovation and uniqueness of this drama from the perspectives of industry, market, culture and creation.　

In addition to creating unique space and time through closed space narration, Peace Hotel seeks breakthroughs in the construction of character relations, story telling, shooting techniques, value conception, and even art design and screen color. It can be said that this drama leads a new trend in the creation of spy war dramas, and provides many references for the return of domestic film and television drama creation to artistic laws and noumenon, which leads to thinking in the industry.

Originality creates the "special" and "new" of spy war drama.

It’s called "Peace Hotel", but in fact it’s extremely un-peaceful. In the TV series "Peace Hotel", various forces are entrenched, and more than 10 people, 240 hours in 10 days, escaped from the secret room in catch me if you can. As Chengxiang Zhong, a librarian in central research institute of culture and history, chairman of the Chinese Literary Critics Association and a famous literary critic, said, "Peace Hotel is a good work with uniqueness and unique research value in the history of China TV dramas in terms of creating a sense of space and time."

After two or three years of script polishing, Peace Hotel has a compact plot rhythm, with one coincidence hitting another, and the protagonist needs to constantly resolve and save himself in the face of successive crises. Lee Joon, honorary chairman of the Chinese Literary Critics Association and a famous literary critic, said that the narrative style of this drama is like a "mental game" of high-density wrestling.

During the broadcast of "Peace Hotel" on Zhejiang Satellite TV, the audience and netizens experienced an intellectual game with the changing fate of the characters in the play, achieving an immersive viewing pleasure. At the same time, the screenwriter is also playing a game with the audience. When the audience thinks that they have figured out the trend of the plot, the screenwriter just doesn’t follow the routine.

Liu Yanming, the chairman of Hairun Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. and the producer of the play, summed up the success factors of Peace Hotel, and also stressed that the theme and storytelling methods of the play were innovative, which really made a breakthrough in the creation of genre film and television dramas. "To be a different spy war drama" is the profound consensus of all the masters of the drama.

The play scored 8.4 on Douban when it premiered on January 25th. During the broadcast, the ratings of Zhejiang Satellite TV successively broke 1; The network broadcast volume exceeded 3 billion; 12 times on the Weibo Hot Search List. Up to now, the main topic of the drama Weibo # TV series Peace Hotel # has been read by 510 million; The highest value of Baidu index is 222,568, and there are about 3,170 Baidu news reports. The peak value of WeChat index reached 1,115,467, and the reading volume of many WeChat articles exceeded 100,000+,and the cumulative reading volume exceeded 5 million. The total number of short videos played on the Internet is nearly 40 million.

With such good results, Tao Yan, director of the editorial office of Zhejiang Satellite TV, commented that the drama was a conscience drama with multi-dimensional innovation in creation. At the same time, she shared that Zhejiang Satellite TV, as the mainstream media, has always adhered to the concept of "content+quality": "First, there must be drop-dead gorgeous with good production level; Second, there must be a lineup, and the actors have good acting skills; Third, there must be content, and the story writer is good; Fourth, we must be responsible and have a good value orientation. You play the drama sincerely, and we will play the drama with sincerity. "

Skillfully designing the structure of the characters, creating a good play by the actors.

The biggest success of Peace Hotel lies in the refreshing character setting. In the play, party member Chen Jiaying (Chen Shu), an uncharacteristic bandit Wang Dading (Lei Jiayin), and the police chief Dou Shixiao (Li Guangjie), who is both righteous and evil and experienced in handling cases, are all images that have never been seen in spy war dramas before. Tao Yan said that the characterization in the play broke away from the routine of spy war dramas in the past and presented a "high sense" in creation.

In addition, Peace Hotel builds a diversified background from an international perspective. The characters in the play come from different countries and have different identities. By deconstructing the relationship between the characters in the play, Wang Yichuan, dean, professor and doctoral supervisor of Peking University Art Institute, said, "The important breakthrough of Peace Hotel is to transform the growth matrix of the relationship between the characters in the traditional China TV play into a circular structure with complex relationships among the characters-with Chen Jiaying as the center and others on the circumference, the characters on the circumference are inextricably linked with the characters on the center, and at the same time, the characters on the circumference are also intrigued."

Zhou Liming, a famous film critic, spoke highly of the production level of this work. He even titled the drama "Peace Hotel" as a compliment often used in Oscar-winning films.

It is particularly worth mentioning that when Peace Hotel was created, the film and television environment at that time was full of the atmosphere that the market sought after big IP, "small flowers" and "small fresh meat", while the original drama Peace Hotel did not have so-called first-line traffic stars, but used a group of actors who were more suitable for role positioning and good acting skills.

Hao Rong, vice president and professor of the Central Academy of Drama, commented that the entire creative team of Peace Hotel, from the text to the director to the actors, all paid attention to the performance creation, and the success of the performance was also an indispensable factor for the success of the play. "The success of this play shows that the role of’ flowers’ and’ fresh meat’ dominates the market, and the Mesozoic actors and actresses are particularly valuable."

Chen Shu, an actor, said in his speech that he has been thinking about how to break through from his various roles in his performance for more than ten years. "Your memory in the work is unobstructed. As a creator, how to clean your container in time and how to inject better and more abundant energy into your container is my self-learning that I have been insisting on for years."

In "Peace Hotel", Chen Shu met a unique female revolutionary image that has never been seen in the same kind of theme. To interpret this role, she tried to use more delicate and accurate performance methods and countless details to establish the truth and three-dimensional of the characters. Through Chen Shu’s interpretation, Chen Jiaying’s super-high IQ, enchanting temperament and almost perfect image are vividly shaped.

On the other hand, Lei Jiayin and Li Guangjie, who played opposite roles with Chen Shu, and every supporting actor in the play made this play together. Talking about the cooperation with the opposite actors, Chen Shu said that in recent years, he has paid more attention to how to better cooperate with other actors in the performance and how to highlight the performance of the group in the group play: "Especially in this play, the performance is often to serve the strong plot, not just the characters, but also the personalized performance."

Zhou Liming said that the play has leading and supporting roles, but the highlight is that every supporting role is written as the leading role. "This drama is an excellent commercial drama that is very close to the level of American drama. I think it is a commercial drama, but it has artistic skills."

Without rigid preaching, a national belief is rooted in the play.

"Peace Hotel" not only does the usual brain-burning of spy war dramas, but also conveys faith; In the humorous narrative expression, explain the lofty conception pattern and the patriotic theme of grounding gas.

Tao Yan believes that the success of a TV series requires not only a good lineup, good content and good stories, but also a responsibility. Peace Hotel is very positive, and the patriotic feelings and values conveyed in the play are very in line with the current mainstream values.

Wang Zhaonan also said that "Peace Hotel" is not like the expression of patriotic feelings in the traditional form, but is displayed in a way suitable for young people and modern people to think.

Gao Xiaoli, director of the art department of Literary and Art Newspaper, said that the creation of TV dramas, whether historical dramas, chronological dramas or modern dramas, must be able to touch people in current social life. "Peace Hotel has no grand ideological indoctrination, and the important value conveyed by the play is altruism, which also takes care of reality."

According to Wang Yichuan’s statistics, there are at least 15 forces in the Peace Hotel, and everyone who stays in the hotel has ulterior motives and secretly plans for their own interests. The "altruism" conveyed by Chen Jiaying actually led the final struggle and the ending of the story. In fact, Chen Jiaying became an important spiritual and belief leader in the play, and the growth trajectory and destiny choices of Wang Dading, Dou Shixiao and Liu Jinhua were also more or less affected.

Lee Joon said that the play conveyed a patriotic feeling, but there was no preaching in the play. No one said "ism" from beginning to end, or even directly said "patriotism". However, the protagonist Chen Jiaying transformed the people around her with her own behavior. "She transformed patriotism, national concept and collective concept, which are very easy to say too bluntly, into a trilogy of self-interest, altruism and national benefit, which was very suitable for Chen Jiaying’s identity at that time and naturally hit Wang Dading and Liu Jinhua’s inner world."

Hao Rong said that although Peace Hotel is a spy war drama with a tense rhythm, it has a very high significance through the life-and-death struggle between the enemy and me-altruism can benefit others and run through the theme of the whole drama. In the play, altruism is well interpreted; Outside the play, the actors’ attitudes and ideas about performance are also an altruistic practice.

In Chen Shu’s view, a good performance is giving. This concept has also been highly recognized by Hao Rong. "Actor’s profession is a group profession, not a one-man show, but a group of people’s collective creation. Although there are leading roles and supporting roles in the group play, the actors interact with each other and become a whole. The actors of "Peace Hotel" have inherited this creative concept, and the performance creation is highly consistent with the theme of the play, and only altruism can be self-interested. The creation of this play has returned to the law and noumenon of artistic creation and should become the vane of film and television creation now. "
