Introduction to the story of the gentleman in the East Eighth District
Tong Yu, Guo Chong, Li and Xiang, four university friends with different personalities, came from all corners of the country. * * * The youth we experienced together is now gone. In 2020, four men, Tong Yu, an artificial intelligence engineer, Guo Chong, a university teacher, Xiang, a brand manager, and Li, a chef in a western restaurant, are mature and steady, but all four have men's difficulties. Nursery rhymes face great difficulties in research and development. Guo Chong lost his passion for stable work, and it was difficult for Li to break through the bottleneck. Xiang struggled between money and ideals. Four men are facing a typical middle-aged crisis, supporting each other and seeking a breakthrough in the rough. Four people also met love in their own lives. There are many emotional ups and downs between the children's conversation and the company's female manager. Guo Chong keeps a certain distance from graduate student Amy. Li pursued her idol, Yue Ziqian, a Weibo writer, and proposed to marry a strong woman in business. The road to feelings is far more tortuous than career. Finally, at this best age, they embrace their careers, love, mature and better themselves.
One of the highlights of this drama is the shaping of male group image. In recent years, there has been a blowout of female dramas in the market, but there are few male group dramas. As the producer of the play, Hans Zhang boldly tried to innovate the theme and style of the story, which can just make up for the shortage of "men leading the play" in the market. In addition, the drama tells the story of 30+ men from a male perspective, which also provides a different perspective for the audience. In addition to the career line, the emotional line is also full. You can see both the hard work of the male god and the sweetness of love.
This is not the first time that Zhang Han has been a producer. Previously, his TV series "If Paris is Unhappy" was a high-profile work, and the scene selection and costume modeling in the play also gained a full screen of goodwill. Hans Zhang, who once again provoked the beam of producers, is more experienced and more calm in the face of various problems. From the script creation period to the filming and post-production, Zhang Han has personally participated, which shows his concern and attention to this work!
For Hans Zhang, who is a screenwriter for the first time, this is a brand-new experience and challenge. This light comedy of urban life, Gentlemen in the East Eight Districts, focuses on the survival status and struggle and growth process of urban youth groups after 1980s from the perspective of men. Gentleman in the East Eighth District tells the story that four brothers who walked side by side in college chose to wander in Shanghai, hold a group against the wind, finally find true love and realize their dreams in life.
