There is a large manor in the yard. Just like the time when "Let the Bullets Fly" was filmed, it is also an ancient manor-style building with a plaque of a historical cultural relic protection unit.
There are two rows of temporary rooms made of foam boards on both sides, which are the temporary residences of unknown actors. Only actors with clear role identities such as Zhou Xun and Sun Li are eligible to stay in the county hotel.
So outsiders would see these people at the end of the day, not all the cast and crew.
After passing through the huge courtyard that looks like a small square, you can see the real gate of the ancient house, and behind the gate is the real shooting location.
Standing in front of the antique gate is the director of this drama, Li Shaohong. She is currently one of the most well-known female directors in the mainland. She has several masterpieces under her belt and has won numerous awards in the first half of her life.
This person was also Liu Qingshan's hand-picked director. Compared with the male director of the original work, he believed that only a female director could capture the most delicate aspects of this drama.
Moreover, Zhou Xun is almost her favorite actor, and has also collaborated with Chen Kun. Only she can more accurately stimulate the performance potential of the two protagonists.
The original series is a TV series that came first, so people watching the series will have a preconceived comparison.
In the process of film and television, it is impossible to copy the original work meticulously and intact. If this is the case, as a fan of the original work, it is very likely that you will lose the motivation to follow the show. After all, you will know what is going to happen in the next second.
This is one of them.
Secondly, the adaptation also needs to take care of the general audience who have never seen the original work. They must be happy and understand it, so that they are willing to spend time to follow the show.
Based on these two points, the screenwriter of "Know or Not" has a heavy burden. After all, it is very difficult to get most people who like the book and the story to recognize it.
But Liu Qingshan's version does not have these concerns. If it is directed by someone with such rich directing experience, the chance of success of the new version will be infinitely increased.
Therefore, from the very beginning when he released the song "Know or Do You Know", he had already started planning for this drama. The first drama produced by Xueyu must get off to a good start in order to quickly establish a foothold in the industry.
Then again, without the pressure of the original work, this standard Gong Dou style will occupy this high ground before Gong Dou Liu arrives.
Just imagine how significant it is to have a TV series that can lead the market trend.
That's why he took time out of his busy schedule and traveled a long way to visit the class to show how much he valued it.
Therefore, the first thing Li Shaohong said when he saw him today was: "It's like meeting a real person. First of all, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Your script is really excellent. Maybe I will never get such a big job again." The project I was working on has been completed without any regrets! You have helped me fulfill a big ambition hidden deep in my heart."
Liu Qingshan quickly expressed his sincerity and fear: "Director Li is serious. These words make me feel ashamed. How can I, Liu Qingshan, be so valued by you?"
Li Shaohong said cheerfully: "It seems that not all the rumors are true. Your humility surprises me!"
"I say you should praise me less, so that I can feel more at ease!"
"Well, you are the real boss of our show. When you come to visit the team this time, you only bring a little fruit drink or something, which is not enough to show your sincerity!"
"Material things are all external things. What if I come with you and the crew to work on a bigger project?"
Not only did Li Shaohong's expression change this time, but the expressions of everyone else who heard these words changed drastically.
Because they know very well that with such a big production and such a wonderful script, there is almost no doubt that it will become a hit in the future.
But the meaning of Liu Qingshan's words, there are bigger projects than this drama, and they are not calm in their hearts. After all, only those who are experiencing it know best. Among the lines of "Know or Not" It's superb, the plot is so ups and downs, it's already a classic.
Many actors' net worth and status will soar because of this drama.
If there are more ambitious productions, the impact on their future acting careers is unimaginable.
Liu Qingshan had anticipated the reaction of these people, and the next moment he looked at Jin Xishan, using this to push her out, which was his real intention.
Jinxi Shanshan understood and spoke: "Let's all stop crowding here and talking. Let's go into the courtyard and talk. Let's eat and drink while listening to me talk about this matter!"
She didn't need to speak too clearly, just a few words made many people realize that she was the main planner of future projects.
Even the so-called producers who stayed on the crew with various capitals also followed Jin Xishan's guidance and entered the yard one after another. For them, it was also a development opportunity.
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
Liu Qingshan held Chen Kun alone: "That drama is a women's drama. In fact, it is the story of the girl Zhen Huan growing from an innocent girl who is not familiar with the world to a generation of queen mother who is good at seeking power. It is a very classic palace battle drama, It tells the history of the harem struggle surrounding Emperor Yongzheng.”
Chen Kun was obviously stunned, "Are you saying that my age is not suitable for the role?"
"Yes, there is only one male protagonist, Emperor Yongzheng, and he is getting older. Brother Kun's age and image cannot support him!"
"It turns out you're trying to comfort me! It doesn't matter Shanzi. In fact, I want to make a movie with you. When I was filming "Let the Bullets Fly", due to the worries about this drama, I never made time to talk to you about this. Something happened!"
What Chen Kun said is true. Among the previous film crews, apart from Liu Qingshan, he was the busiest because he had to travel back and forth between the two crews.
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "I have long wanted to find a chance to chat with you! I will go to a crew of Director Feng right away. He also has a film with my script. It will start shooting in April or May next year. I want to invite you. I play a young group leader in it, but I’m not the protagonist!”
"No problem!" Chen Kun was more straightforward than he expected, "As long as it's your script, I won't miss the role no matter how small it is!"
"Well, let's talk more about it then! The current series will actually have a great impact on you, but after all, starring in a series will be more popular for the general public, while movies are relatively more rigorous and can express more profound and in-depth thoughts. Things, I prefer you to develop more into movies!"
"I think so, but you also know the situation in the Mainland. Although there are many film productions every year, there are too few scripts with real quality. I have a large family to support, so I can't wait for the opportunity to do it. Damn it?"
"Brother Kun, your reason is a bit far-fetched. Opportunities don't come by waiting, but by running out! There was an actor audition at Director Feng's house yesterday. It was a purely mainland movie. You guessed it, I was rushing to audition. Who did you see among the people?"
"Stop being so pretentious, who is it?"
"Zhang Jiadong!"
"Uh, wait a minute, you mean Zhang Jiadong from Xiangjiang? Zhang Jiadong who always plays a supporting role?"
"That's him! Isn't that rare? This person has no experience as a leading actor in Xiangjiang, and he can't speak fluent Mandarin. But he is such a person who dares to come to your door to look for acting opportunities without invitation. Do you think he is right? What kind of professional attitude does the actor industry have?"
"Shanzi, I understand, my biggest shortcoming is that I can't let go of this face!"
"Well, but what is the ultimate goal in his heart? At least this perseverance is quite professional! Of course, I am not saying that you should go to Xiangjiang to look for opportunities. Otherwise, the language barrier will be a huge problem in the first place, but Waiting and relying are not reasons, I am much younger than you, so Brother Kun won’t have any opinion on me, right?"
"How is it possible? It's not just in martial arts that the saying goes, but it's also true in the entertainment industry! How many people are still paying attention to your age now?"
"Okay, I can think that you are complimenting me, right? I will have a lot of movies to shoot later. The reason I came to you today is to tell you that there will be many opportunities in the future, and you have to set them up for yourself in advance. The road we have to take in the future does not necessarily mean that we cannot accept TV series, but the importance of movies must not be ignored! Today’s schedule is tight, so I won’t say more. Come on, let’s go in and listen to what those girls are talking about. What!"
Entering the courtyard, the first thing I heard was a burst of exclamation, especially Zhou Xun's unique hoarse voice: "Xishan, you mean that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be filmed for eighty episodes? Oh, that can't be a big film. Six months?"
Jin Xishanzheng was surrounded by countless people: "To be specific, it will be more than 70 episodes, but if you work on a single line, you will not be able to finish it for more than half a year. Therefore, future filming will use multiple lines at the same time, and you will have to trouble Director Li to help." The crew will solve the problem of selecting the other two assistant directors!"
"This is not a big deal, but they shouldn't be called assistant directors, right? It would be more appropriate to call them co-directors!" This was Li Shaohong's voice.
Jin Xishan nodded: "It's just a different name. If we co-direct, you will only be the chief director!"
"We'll talk about it after reading the script! I'm not being pretentious. My schedule was scheduled for the year after this long before filming this drama. This time, if Zhou Xun hadn't been pestering me for several days in vain, it would have been really difficult. I can’t spare any time to film this drama!”
"I will send the script to your house another day. I think you will change your schedule again after reading the script!"
"So confident? Not to mention, Mr. Liu's scripts have always been a hot commodity. Even Hollywood is competing for them. The quality will not be inferior!"
"I'm not sure about the rest, but I couldn't sleep well for a few days after reading the script of this drama, and the cast of it is terrifying to me just thinking about it. There are more than thirty named female characters alone. Without your on-site support, others really wouldn’t be able to do the job!”
The scene was filled with surprises again. I thought the current cast and crew were quite scary, but I didn’t expect that the scale of the show would be raised by more than one level in the future.
And just from the appearance of such a huge number of characters, you can see how big the plot of the whole drama is. Being able to stay in such a crew for a period of time probably requires the performance experience of several dramas combined. Bar.
