On October 23rd, the youth fantasy online drama "Chess Soul", with Ying Dai, Zhu Zhenhua and Zhao Wenzhu as the chief producers, directed by Liu Chang and starring Hu Xianxu, Juck Zhang, Hao Fushen, Han Mubo, Ji Li and Zhai Guanhua, first exposed the poster of the "Chess Soul" version, and announced that it would meet the audience on October 27th. This play is adapted from the comic book Chess Soul of the same name by Japan Jiying Society.
Hu Xianxu takes the lead and plays the leading role in the interpretation of realistic adventure youth.
The online drama "Chess Soul" has attracted many fans’ attention since it started shooting. Once the news that Hu Xianxu plays Xiaoguang was exposed, it attracted a large number of viewers’ attention. The role of "Time" in the play requires both a sense of youthful sunshine and emotional depth in the performance. Hu Xianxu is laughed at by everyone as "the old play bone after 00" and is undoubtedly the best person to play this role. And "Chess Soul" is also the first film and television work starring Hu Xianxu after his 18-year-old adult ceremony.
In order to better shape the characters in the play, Hu Xianxu also made a lot of efforts. On the one hand, he made the image as vivid as possible, and was closer to the feelings of ordinary students. On the other hand, he also systematically studied Weiqi under the guidance of professional chess players. In the preview of this release, the youthful temperament of "Time" is fully exposed, sometimes naughty and sometimes funny, and even the "chess soul" who has gone through thousands of years has been teased by him.
Chu won the Millennium, reappearing the human time, and Yu Liang accompanied him to grow up and witness his love.
The online drama "Chess Soul" tells the story that time (played by Hu Xianxu) found an ancient chessboard by chance, thus he got to know Chu Ying, the first person in Nanliang Weiqi who had been entrenched in the chessboard for thousands of years, and gradually became interested in Weiqi under his influence, and inspired himself to become a professional Weiqi player.
The "Chu Won" played by Zhang Chao is the soul of the whole play, which finally shows its true meaning in this preview. In addition to taking care of fans’ feelings as much as possible in modeling, as a live-action drama series, Chess Soul has added a transparent visual effect in its production in order to create a special state of "Chu Won", greatly enhancing the fantasy temperament of the whole drama and giving the audience a novel visual experience.
Another important person who witnessed the growth of "time" was also exposed in this poster and preview. Yu Liang, played by Hao Fushen, is called "the noble son of chess", and even more, he and Xiaoguang have become rivals who chase and inspire each other. As soon as Xiao Liang appeared, his handsome and refreshing appearance was very eye-catching, and his serious affection made people feel the concentration and love of this talented boy from Weiqi family.
Focus on the quality of content and reject the stereotype of youth drama
The launch of the youth fantasy online drama Chess Soul aims to tell the persistence and struggle of youth from the perspective of juvenile growth, find what you love, pursue dreams with a group of people who also love, experience blood and loss, and gain inspirational stories of friendship and life goals.
When it comes to "youth drama", it is easy for people to think of love stories in a preconceived way, while "Chess Soul" insists on starting from the content, rejecting the rigid definition that youth drama must be "in love" and creating a youth drama only related to love and blood based on touching emotions.
The youth fantasy online drama "Chess Soul" is produced by iQiyi, jointly produced by Xiaotangren Media and Houhai Culture, and produced by Xiaotangren Media, and will be launched on October 27, 2020.
