High School Musical, a film produced by Disney, Shanghai Oriental Media Group and Huayi Brothers, is a collaboration between three entertainment giants, Disney, and Huayi Brothers. It tells the story of a group of young people from different backgrounds and with distinct personalities on campus. An upcoming super inter-school singing competition has aroused the students' desire to pursue their musical dreams, but unexpectedly, a series of storms have been set off during the selection process. In the end, everyone has made a breakthrough choice in the face of difficulties. High School Musical is performed by six energetic young protagonists - Zhang Junning, Ma Zihan, Yuan Chengjie, Gu Xuan, Liu Yanchen, and Lin Qi, with energetic dance steps and passionate music, to interpret their own youth stories, bringing the audience an unprecedented and dazzling musical film! Chen Shizheng, the director of High School Musical, who produced the Chinese flavor behind the scenes, emphasized that the Chinese version of High School Musical is not a simple remake, but an original Chinese story. He does not shy away from the differences between Chinese and Western campus culture and its impact on the final film. He said that the boys and girls in the Chinese version failed to express their love as directly as in the original version, but as the eternal theme of youth films, the humorous and inspirational tone was completely preserved. When I was filming the musical "Journey to the West", I lived with many young Chinese children for several months. Their words and thoughts gave me a lot of inspiration. Chen Shizheng said that the characteristics of young people in China today are that they are more free and less constrained by rules and regulations. It can be said that they are the generation most similar to young people in Europe and the United States. In Chen Shizheng's view, this change in young people is inseparable from the development of the Internet. Young people's lifestyles are more transferred to virtual space, which also connects them to a wider world. The convergence trend of global youth culture provides a good opportunity for the Chinese version of "High School Musical". The singing and dancing scenes in the Chinese version of "High School Musical" account for 60% of the length of the whole film, but Chen Shizheng believes that the story is still the core of the film. Music only provides a platform for telling stories. We still have the current complete youth story first, and then arrange the matching tracks according to the plot. As the signature song of the original film, "Together" retains an important position in the theme song of the Chinese version of "High School Musical". In addition, all other songs are original creations of the local team. Famous musicians such as Peter Kam, Guang Liang, and the Maji Brothers have invested a lot of energy in the early stage of the film. In an interview with a reporter from Time.com, Ms. Cai Zhixing, Vice President of Walt Disney Greater China, said that Disney has always followed the values of serving young people and family audiences in the Chinese version of "High School Musical", hoping to bring young people a healthy experience of Dream Come True. She also said that the integration of Hollywood and Chinese films is not achieved overnight, and the Chinese version of "High School Musical" is an important opportunity for Disney to explore the Chinese film market. Yuan Chengjie's casting has twists and turns. Yuan Chengjie was repeatedly rejected by the director during his first interview. The first time, because Yuan Chengjie had just released his and Qi Wei's new album "2U" after "The Bund 18" at that time, Yuan Chengjie went to the director for an interview with a flaxen hair due to the album promotion period. As a result, the director directly advised him to withdraw on the grounds that he did not look like a student. Unexpectedly, Yuan Chengjie did not give up. He bought black spray paint and sprayed it directly on his hair without being discouraged. As a result, it was rejected the second time, not because of the hair color, but because of the hairstyle. In order to show his determination, Yuan Chengjie resolutely dyed his hair black after 5 or 6 hours of work, and asked the hairdresser to cut his hair into a student style. However, doing all this does not mean that he can be selected directly, but just to have a chance to be selected. When the hair color and hairstyle meet the director's requirements, the new round of difficulties is dancing skills. "High School Musical" is a song and dance movie. In addition to singing, dancing is one of the very necessary skills. In order to enrich his dancing skills, Yuan Chengjie privately invited Coco Lee's exclusive choreographer, SDT's Xia Zhen, to train. After doing his homework, Yuan Chengjie came to the hotel for the interview with the director for the third time, waiting from 9 am to 6 pm. When he was about to meet the director, he didn't expect the director to leave early. Faced with the last chance, Yuan Chengjie directly stopped the director in the hotel lobby and played it on his mobile phone.
