Most readers who like to read romance novels should have read the two novels "Secretly Can't Hide" and "Hard to Coax", both of which are written by the author of the novel, Take.
"Secretly Can't Hide" tells the story of 13-year-old Sang Zhi who met 20-year-old Duan Jiaxu, had a crush for 7 years, witnessed Duan Jiaxu's process from rebellion to maturity, and finally the two achieved positive results, got married and had children.
"Hard to Coax" tells the story of Wen Yifan living a shared life with Sang Yan, a high school classmate who was once rejected by her, by chance. In the process of getting along, the two slowly untie the knot and finally come together.
As sister novels written by the same author, the characters of "Can't Hide" and "Hard to Coax" are very closely related.
The heroes and heroines of "Can't Hide Secretly" are Duan Jiaxu and Sang Zhi, but Sang Yan, as the heroine's brother, also has a lot of scenes.
The heroes and heroines of "Hard to Coax" are Sang Yan and Wen Yifan, and Duan Jiaxu and Sang Zhi are also very important cameo roles.
Now these two novels have been filmed and television, "Secretly Can't Hide" starring Zhao Lusi, Chen Zheyuan, Ma Boqian, Zhao Lusi plays Sang Zhi, Chen Zheyuan plays Duan Jiaxu, and Ma Boqian plays Sang Yan.
In June 2023, "Can't Hide Secretly" has been broadcast on Youku, although the reviews are good and bad, but as a film and television drama adapted from a popular novel, there are popular traffic stars as the starring roles, and the discussion of this drama has been very high after it was broadcast.
"Hard to Coax" also draws on this "routine", starring in popular IP and popular traffic, which makes it difficult for people not to pay attention to it.
On June 27, 2024, "Hard to Coax" was completed, and the first wave of cast was officially announced.
The first is the two protagonists: Sang Yan and Wen Yifan. The male protagonist Sang Yan is played by Bai Jingting, and the heroine Wen Yifan is played by Zhang Ruonan.
You must know that Bai Jingting entered the showbiz because of his role as "Qiao Ran" in the youth campus drama "The Year in a Hurry".
Later, he successively starred in a number of youth campus film and television works, such as the TV series "Whirlwind Girl" (as Yu Chuyuan), the movie "Whose Youth is Not Confused" (as Gao Xiang), and the TV series "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" (as Lu Zhiang) and so on.
It can be said that once in the track of youth campus dramas, Bai Jingting was almost invincible.
Today, Bai Jingting, who is 30 years old, is still full of youth, and in the stills of "Hard to Coax", he looks even more youthful in his school uniform, a proper male high school.
And the photo he posted himself is wearing a light gray sweatshirt, a black jacket, and one hand supporting his face, no matter how you look at it, it looks very juvenile, if you say that he is eighteen years old, some people will believe it.
It can be seen that the drama party of "Hard to Coax" found Bai Jingting to play the actor Sang Yan is a very correct decision, not only has popularity and acting skills, but also looks and temperament, and also has a little "memory killing", this wave is not a loss.
The heroine Wen Yifan's actor Zhang Ruonan is also a proper pure beauty, and she also entered the showbiz with the youth campus movie "Sadness Flows Into a River", and the role of the school flower "Gu Senxiang" she played in the film is still unsatisfactory!
In recent years, Zhang Ruonan's interpretation route has mostly been pure and touching, and playing Wen Yifan in "Hard to Coax" this time is both an opportunity and a challenge for her, judging from the stills, it is still quite beautiful.
Secondly, "Hard to Coax" also officially announced some other character lineups, among which Sang Zhi's actor is very surprising!
Chen Haosen plays Su Haoan, Zhang Miaoyi plays Zhong Siqiao, Zhai Xiaowen plays Xiang Lang, and Yuan Ye plays Mu Chengyun.
Chen Haosen, Zhang Miaoyi, and Zhai Xiaowen are all new-generation actors who have only entered the showbiz in recent years, and Yuan Ye is a newcomer who only signed a contract with Wow Haw Wow Company in August 2022.
The role of Duan Jiaxu is played by Wu Yuheng, who has participated in the talent show "Tomorrow's Son Season 2" and "Creation Camp 2021", and has also played the likable guard Du Jiu in the costume drama "I Am Such a Woman" starring Guan Xiaotong, and also participated in the TV series "Tomorrow's Boy" and "Offering Fish", which already has a certain popularity.
The role of Sang Zhi is played by Liu Chutian.
Speaking of Liu Chutian, everyone may not be familiar with it, but when it comes to "Little Miyue" in "The Legend of Miyue", the cute little girl who is not afraid of big tigers, everyone must be very familiar with it.
and "Xiao Minglan" in "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat and Red", her cute shape and superb acting skills are still very memorable.
Now Liu Chutian is 14 years old, and she has grown into a slim girl, the baby fat on her face has faded, but her appearance is still very high.
It is not too suitable for Liu Chutian to play the adolescent Sang Zhi at his current age!
Although Zhao Lusi has also played Sang Zhi, Sang Zhi in "Secretly Can't Hide" is more inclined to know and fall in love when he grows up, so Zhao Lusi's age and appearance are very suitable.
Sang Zhi in "Hard to Coax" is a cameo role, and Sang Zhi is still in the secret love of his student days at this time, so it is also suitable to choose an adolescent girl like Liu Chutian to play it.
Especially when I saw the photo of Liu Chutian and Bai Jingting, the feeling of brother and sister came.
At present, the casting of the drama "Hard to Coax" is still very good, the male protagonist Bai Jingting is sunny and handsome, full of youth, the female protagonist Zhang Ruonan is pure and beautiful, and the school flower is mastery, and the rest of the characters also have their own characteristics, especially the actor Liu Chutian of Sang Zhi is even more surprising.
So, are you looking forward to the drama "Hard to Coax"?
