Zhang Yimou announced that he will shoot the web drama "League of Legends"! For the first time, he wanted to shoot something different

Recently, the famous director Zhang Yimou disclosed his work plan for this year, and it is expected that the filming of the web drama "League of Legends" will start in September.

Zhang Yimou said that this was his first time shooting a web drama and he wanted to make something very different and contrasting. He hoped that the drama would be handsome, cool and sassy.

Prior to this, Yaoke Media has officially announced that it will start filming the e-sports themed web drama "League of Legends", written by Xu Su and Wang Xiaohan and produced by Zhang Yimou. There will be a total of 40 episodes, each 45 minutes long.

The official plot synopsis is:

Ma Da, an already successful and nearly retired LPL first-line star, accidentally swapped souls with Bai Yang, a high school student with extraordinary gaming talent.

Mada's professional career was already nearing its end, and his age and physical condition also limited his performance. But now he has become the young and talented Bai Yang, determined to overcome all obstacles and strive for more honors.

Both of them got the life of their dreams, but at the same time they had to face each other's difficulties in life together.

The two lines run parallel and finally meet at the top. This is a passionate journey of chasing dreams.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Su was once the screenwriter of the e-sports web drama "Cross Fire". This time, he and the creative team interviewed many e-sports players. During the interview, he saw the changes in the "Cross Fire" game in China over the past ten years, as well as the changes in the situation of e-sports players.

In addition, producer Zhang Meng won the Miss Universe China finals and was awarded the title of "Miss China Universe". She later entered the entertainment industry and filmed many film and television dramas. It remains to be seen whether she will try her hand as a producer this time.

In recent years, e-sports web dramas have become the darlings of major platforms. E-sports themes + popular stars + topic marketing have become the universal code for wealth, and it seems that Zhang Yimou is also well versed in this.
