role: zhao kai is a corporate artist, xu daoming is a friend and rival
"corporate strong man" is produced by luo yongxian and stars chen hao, tan junyan, zhang xiwen, gong jiaxin, jiang david and other artists. the plot revolves around the business war in the logistics industry. through industry competition and the cruelty and complexity of the modern workplace, it shows the contradiction between human nature and interests, and it is in-depth the possibility of an “ideal entrepreneur” is explored. chen hao has acted in many professional dramas before, but this was his first time playing the boss of a logistics company. he found it very fresh. "everyone is inseparable from logistics in life, but they don't know much about this industry. if this drama can give the audience more information, that would also be a good thing."
zhao kai in the play is a unique boss. rather than how much money he makes, he cares more about the sense of accomplishment in starting a business from scratch. his philosophy is: no matter how a company develops, it must ultimately return to care and respect for people. chen hao's setting of zhao kai is a "corporate artist". in his opinion, zhao kai has far-sightedness, ability and decisiveness in leading enterprises, and he also has his own set of ideas. "he is not so business-oriented, but values people more. i think he is a bit like an artist in this regard. he has his own ideas and will stick to his own ideas." in the play, zhao kai proposed to distribute his shares to everyone in the company. one employee, despite strong opposition from the board of directors, pushed ahead with all his might.
in this drama, xu daoming (played by tan junyan) is like the mirror image of zhao kai. both of them are very good at business. they worked side by side before generation logistics went public, but later parted ways due to different concepts. "zhao kai has always admired xu daoming very much, but the two people have different business philosophy. zhao kai values people and relationships, while xu daoming puts business first. they are friends and rivals." chen hao said that regardless of zhao kai's actions, as a person, he is first-class as a friend and as a boss, but he is not good enough emotionally. "his attitude towards relationships is to go their separate ways if they don't get along. what he puts first is always his ideals and work, not relationships."
zhao kai and xu daoming are rivals and friends.
cooperation: old partners and new combinations have sparks. going north to film can make you more immersed in filming.
"corporate man" not only retains part of the "old team" of "breaking virtue" - producer luo yongxian, screenwriter huang weiqiang, actors chen hao (played by zhao kai), zhang xiwen (played by song qiao), but also attracted "fresh blood" to join the team , such as tan junyan (playing xu daoming), gong jiaxin (playing fang fang), etc., and formed many new combinations: zhao kai and fang fang, zhao kai and xu daoming, etc.
chen hao said that this time, no matter whether it is an old partner or a new combination, everyone is very happy to cooperate and have a good understanding. "our team got along very well from the beginning, and it was very warm and comfortable." chen hao mentioned that although tan junyan played a very rational, "business-oriented" character in the play, he was a "warm man" in life. "the filming scene was very considerate of the emotions of other actors and staff. working with zhang xiwen again made chen hao feel her maturity in performance. "this time she played zhao kai's ex-wife, and she captured that feeling very well."
chen hao plays zhao kai.
most of chen hao's previous film and television dramas were filmed in hong kong. this time "corporate strong man" was mainly shot in shenzhen. talking about the experience of "going north" for filming, chen hao said with emotion: "after so many years of filming in hong kong, i often have a headache about where to shoot. this time when filming in shenzhen, i found that many places are very beautiful, and they are also very suitable for the relatively new film "corporate strong man". i think the subject matter is very good." when asked if he was used to working in the mainland for a long time, he laughed and said that working in the mainland allowed him to put aside some of the trivial matters in his daily life and focus more on performance creation. "if i were filming in hong kong, i might have to send my children to school and do other things before filming. this is different from filming in the mainland."
