Liu Qingshan just strolled across the street and entered the National Television Courtyard alone, looking like a passerby with his hands in his pockets.
And when he entered the courtyard, he could even remove the covering on his face, and just arrived at the designated studio hall openly.
This time the shooting was not as large as yesterday. It was just a mini studio that could not be smaller and could only accommodate dozens of viewers.
And the location he entered was the office area where the director team was located. There was a huge glass wall separated from the recording studio. He could see the recording situation in the studio, but not the inside.
In fact, before he arrived, people from the Liangjian crew had been invited into the studio one after another for interviews. He only needed to go out to meet everyone during the final stage of recording. For the crew, he was not a big deal. surprise.
Then his main task was to sit on the sofa and accept some personal interviews. These contents would be cut into small pieces during post-editing and scattered throughout the official broadcast version, mostly in the form of voice-over.
Therefore, the interview he accepted included a detailed outline of answers and carefully worded standard answers.
Liu Qingshan did not reject this scripted interview method. After all, the upcoming TV series is a patriotic military drama full of positive energy.
National Television has obviously put a lot of effort into the prototypes of the characters in the play, and the outline involves real examples of the prototypes of some historical events.
Of course, we will not really mention names here, but will generally describe them as a certain old revolutionary. But this man was once jokingly called by the founding leader
The prototype character of "Ghost Genius and Madman" does exist, so in order to match Li Yunlong's surname in the play, he was uniformly called this in the interview
"Crazy Li" is actually a big shot named Wang. Moreover, there are traces of other revolutionary martyrs in this Li Yunlong, and he cannot be generally attributed to one person.
The reason why National Television did this is because they piloted the series in a small and relevant area, and the feedback they received was mostly unanimously recognized by the older generation who came from that era.
That's why they dared to combine a TV series with historical figures for promotion. Without instructions from above, otherwise this bold promotion method would never pass the review.
At this time, the director of this program was explaining this to Liu Qingshan, and also let him know some inside information.
According to the feedback, National Television is clearly aware of the social impact this drama will have after it is officially aired, and may even generate a strong response immediately.
The protagonist Li Yunlong in the play is unruly, dares to love, hates, and specializes in fighting tough battles. His character will definitely attract the attention of the world, and everyone will also be very interested in the issue of this character's prototype.
That's why this pre-broadcast interview was held, and Liu Qingshan's role in this, in addition to being the screenwriter of the show, also served as an interpretive bridge between the national television and the TV series crew. .
In order to use his commentary-like plot and historical background introduction to quickly trigger various major discussions that may come from the public.
These are things that the original drama has never experienced, but Liu Qingshan is still happy to do them. This has nothing to do with the nature of his work, but more out of respect and admiration for the revolutionary martyrs.
The experience of the archetypal old general is very similar to that of Li Yunlong. They both went on a rampage and fought hard battles. At the same time, their cultural level was not high, but they both had excellent military talents, were brave and good at fighting, and had outstanding military exploits. They were considered members of that generation. The most common representative figure among old revolutionaries.
In fact, the veteran general's most outstanding military command was the Battle of Shangganling, which is currently written into many national military textbooks.
However, the main plot in Liu Qingshan's script only covered the War of Liberation. Later, Li Yunlong was injured and did not participate in that overseas war.
There are many historical factors here that I won’t mention anymore. In short, this general’s military career was very exciting. He dared to fight, dare to think, dare to act, and had an unruly personality, but he was often unexpected.
Precisely because of this understanding, Liu Qingshan was very cooperative with the arrangement of the program team and allowed him to say whatever he wanted, making the entire interview process unusually smooth.
At the same time, the interviews in the studio were shot intermittently, and there was no one shot to the end as the audience imagined.
Liu Qingshan was the last one to appear after all the main creative staff appeared one after another. The on-site host was a senior middle-aged man who was well-known to everyone. He was really kept in the dark by the director team and had no idea of his arrival.
This is also a small highlight of this show, because whether it is the Liangjian crew or the audience, it can be seen from the host's real shocked reaction that Liu Qingshan's appearance is indeed a huge event. surprise.
The two directors of "The Sword", Fu Jun and Su Tiecheng, stood up from their seats and clapped excitedly, and even other actors and actresses stood up to greet them.
Coupled with the even more excited applause and screams from dozens of viewers, even the veteran host couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Mr. Liu is the biggest core character of this show. Teacher Li, you were attracted by him as soon as he appeared. Stealing all the limelight!" Li Youbin, who played Li Yunlong, laughed loudly and took advantage of the situation to calm the chaos on the scene again: "Mr. Liu is the biggest contributor to this drama. Without his screenwriter, this would not be possible. The birth of a classic masterpiece!" His description is true. Compared with the original version, which is relatively rough with various non-professional shots, this version of Bright Sword is not only well-made, but even the supporting actors are from red star movies. A seasoned actor in the studio.
For example, the guard guarding the captured warehouse who was innocently slapped by a friendly force was a guest appearance by a professional actor from Red Star.
Another example is that the biggest criticism of the historical version is that the props are extremely poor, especially the fake guns.
Especially the war scenes, they are even more unwatchable, all kinds of unreasonable, all kinds of dumbfounding, the soldiers are running around carelessly and have no energy. Compared with several leading actors, it feels even worse. Thousands of miles.
In terms of photography, it can be seen that the investment is indeed very small, let alone the clarity. It can pass through one line without cutting the lens, and it feels like a camera.
If these can be tolerated, the most unbearable thing is that when the characters are talking, the close-ups are too close, and every time it is a big face, even the top of the head is out of the picture.
From a professional point of view, it is obvious that the previous crew did not even have a crane or track, and relied entirely on the photographer's handheld shooting.
Moreover, in the original drama, there were many very low-level military cognitive errors, which were common sense.
For example, Zhang Dabiao once said that the Thompson submachine gun has powerful firepower and is light. In fact, the Thompson submachine gun is extremely heavy and weighs one pound more than the Type 38 rifle. It can be seen that the crew confused the M3 with the Thompson.
Another example is when the cavalry company was wiped out, Sun Desheng and a few people held back a Japanese cavalry regiment, allowing Li Yunlong to withdraw calmly?
You know, before the Japanese had a large group, the Eighth Route Army almost used several regiments to attack in turns and suffered heavy losses.
Also, after Chu Yunfei was injured, the officer said: "The bullet that hit you was a bullet from an American Thompson submachine gun. You know..." In fact, what hit Chu Yunfei was an American M3 submachine gun. No. 1 oil gun, which was used in small quantities by the U.S. military during World War II.
Why did Liu Qingshan ask Red Star to film this version? It's because they are the founders of military-themed dramas in the mainland. Regardless of the filming lineup, professional skills, and military knowledge, they are the ceiling among their mainland colleagues.
Therefore, it can be said that this version of "Bright Sword" has made up for many unsatisfactory aspects of the original version. It can be regarded as the first truly large-scale production of mainland military dramas.
Facing Li Youbin's praise, Liu Qingshan cupped his fists and raised his hands to show his humility: "Nowhere, without the actors' interpretation, it is just a bunch of words on paper!" After shaking hands with everyone and taking their seats, he He said again: "In China, only Red Star Studios can produce real military-themed TV series, and the effects are like movies. To be honest about this, I have been woken up by laughter many times in my sleep! "This statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is true that this drama did bring him a big surprise.
Fu Jun nodded with a smile: "Everyone who has watched it will know that each of our episodes is really shot according to movie standards. The high quality and spectacular images are indeed the first time in China!" His words were facing the audience. He said it and immediately received a warm applause with high expectations.
Su Tiecheng immediately complained: "Because the quality requirements are too high, and there is no precedent for such a well-produced TV series in China, it is conceivable that the specific financial investment is still beyond everyone's imagination! But in the end it was Snowland Entertainment offered to bear most of the huge investment so that this drama could be filmed!" Fu Jun then added: "When Mr. Liu proposed a large investment amount, our studio was frightened. , everyone knows that there are still huge differences in film and television dramas, which are more than 100 million. Comrades, so far, no TV drama project has dared to invest such a large amount of money!" There was an exclamation from the scene, this drama The specific investment amount has been disclosed for the first time, and it is indeed an unprecedented number.
Chen Baoguo, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "But as far as I know, after seeing the finished film, you Red Star expressed regrets, saying that most of the future profits will be taken by Snowland Entertainment!" Su Tiecheng Stall Kaishou smiled bitterly: "This is understandable. Who would have thought that a TV series with a serious theme would be so popular in the market!"
