The excitement on Zhang Jiayi's face became more obvious, because he knew that the subject matter involved in the play is a hot topic in society at present, and it will definitely arouse a strong resonance among the public after it is broadcast.
In fact, this is the case. This urban drama, which was supposed to be filmed in 2009, hit a record high in mainland ratings in just four days after it premiered on Shanghai TV.
It repeated the classic trajectory of being a dark horse in the ratings of Chinese TV dramas, and quietly became popular in a low-key manner with almost zero publicity.
The 35-episode plot contains almost all the keywords of current social ills: mistresses, high-ranking officials, house slaves, corruption, and many touching scenes that make the audience feel sad.
It has attracted interpretations by experts and scholars and has become a new example for overseas interpretation of Chinese society. It has even attracted the attention of a large number of netizens and media in Gulf Islands and small island countries.
Liu Qingshan stopped mentioning the words at this point, also because Kong Hanliang also quickly returned at this time.
"Su Qiang will be here soon and said he would be our guide for the evening."
From what can be heard from Kong Hanliang's title without any title, the relationship between the two people is really good.
But when Liu Qingshan saw him, he had to call him Mr. Su: "Mr. Su, I'm sorry, it's already this late and I have to ask you to make another trip!"
Judging from the tone, Su Qiang is also a cheerful person: "It's not that particular. Not many people in our industry get off work on time, especially in the city wall scenic area. Many folk activities are held in the evening. My normal schedule is the same. Officially there is a huge difference!”
"Have Mr. Kong told you? The Hanfu from Huashang Shengyi Company will be delivered later. Tomorrow
God, I plan to let all the female celebrities wear them and walk around various attractions! "
"I have a suggestion, Mr. Liu, can I also temporarily organize some people here to hold a Hanfu gathering in a certain scenic spot, and I happen to meet your program team, and we can do some small games together to promote traditional culture?"
Su Qiang obviously understands the nature of variety shows very well, and even came up with the plot design for the encounter.
Seeing that he said it directly without hesitation, Liu Qingshan naturally stopped hiding it: "I originally thought that just traveling around would be a bit boring, so you helped me design the plot! But this is a good thing It’s hard to reveal it to the outside world, after all, the pretense of our show is that it doesn’t have a script!”
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand, it seems that Mr. Liu is also an honest person! Let's do this, the young people I organized will not get the information that they will encounter you by chance, and please rest assured that those games have been carefully The arrangement can not only ensure the fun, but also achieve the effect of publicity!”
"It seems that you often hold similar events!"
"It's not me, I'm just a bystander and supporter, but it's the work of young people who really love Hanfu and are willing to inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional culture."
Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded, but did not continue the topic, "I heard that Chang'an is building a city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Have Mr. Liu noticed it too?" Su Qiang sat in his current position at such a young age, which is why he is wise and shrewd. "Do you have any thoughts about that place?"
He could see that in addition to Liu Qingshan's suddenly solemn expression, there was also an unusually bright color in his eyes.
Liu
Qingshan actually had an idea for a long time, and it was very logical at this time: "I have a book in my hand, which tells the story that on the eve of the Shangyuan Festival of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was in crisis. Chang'an death row prisoner Zhang Xiaojing was ordered to face the danger, and he joined hands with the young celebrity Li Bi on the Twelve The story of saving Chang’an in a matter of hours.”
Su Qiang was so excited that he stood up: "Mr. Liu, do you want to use our Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty as a filming location?"
He couldn't help but be excited. Once Liu Qingshan's drama was chosen to be filmed here, it would undoubtedly not only make this Tang Dynasty Sleepless City project under construction, with the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty as the background and Tang style elements as the main line, famous throughout the country, but also There will also be a great possibility of going global to attract foreign customers from overseas markets.
Because he understands that Liu Qingshan is very ambitious, and for this current show, he has the goal of going overseas.
I have to say, he really guessed this right.
But he was far from guessing Liu Qingshan's deeper intention. This historical drama mixed with many kung fu scenes would not only be his last drama before shifting the focus of his career overseas, but the style of the entire drama would be comprehensive. Learn from the shooting methods and visual effects of American TV series.
Moreover, costume dramas are also the only mainland dramas that can be exported overseas, and he will personally play an important role in them.
In addition, all the members of the Liu family team have joined. Just in terms of martial arts design, it is the ceiling of current kung fu movies. The real kung fu is always present throughout the whole drama, which is the biggest attraction besides the plot.
There is also the design and utilization of some of the latest special effects technologies that Snowland Studio started as early as last year. He is confident that Chinese TV series can truly enter the overseas market.
only
The original version of this drama was filmed in 2018, but the filming location was just completed in 2017.
If he were to shoot in advance, he would lack a shooting location that could truly restore the grand scene of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Today's Datang Evernight City project has become the most critical factor in whether he can achieve his goal.
So he immediately mentioned this issue: "I don't know the specific settings of the Tang Dynasty Evernight City project. What I need is an ancient Chang'an City that truly restores the grandeur of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is condensed several times, it still takes one brick and one tile. There is no difference from the records in history!”
"hiss......"
Su Qiang took a breath of cold air. The Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty has a part of the block design that restores the grandeur of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but it is far from meeting the conditions Liu Qingshan said. After all, it is not just the urban construction that can reflect the culture of the Tang Dynasty. , but a comprehensive theme square and pedestrian street type design for displaying and experiencing Tang culture.
Seeing the troubled expression on his face, Liu Qingshan guessed what his concerns were.
Then he reminded him with a smile: "After the filming of this TV series is completed, you can name the new theme blocks according to it. Moreover, the East Market and the West Market were the supermarkets in Chang'an at that time, and your Datang Evernight City cannot be without them." If you create a scenic spot for this area alone, it will not only be able to restore the grandeur of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but the shops facing the street can still open for business, and it will also have the characteristics of a commercial street!"
As expected, Su Qiang's mood changed again: "Not to mention, Mr. Liu's proposal has merit. As far as I know, the current first phase of the project includes the restoration of part of the East Market and West Market scenes! But this thing
It's so big that I, the general manager of a small cultural, tourism and performing arts management center, may not even be qualified to attend the meeting! "
Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "You can put forward my suggestions to the superiors, and someone will naturally verify the desirability of this! Send someone to Kyoto to contact me later, and I will send some details including the script Bring out the information for reference!”
Seeing that Su Qiang was in a state of deep contemplation, Liu Qingshan changed the topic.
This matter is too big, but major events related to urban infrastructure construction and urban planning issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood cannot be affected by a small TV series project.
Of course, Liu Qingshan dared to take advantage of it because he knew that there would indeed be a theme scenic spot related to that drama in the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty more than ten years later.
It was precisely based on this that he dared to have such an idea that seemed quite unrealistic.
So he came out today with the possibility of early construction of the theme scenic spot in the future. He believed that anyone with a clear business mind would seriously consider the construction of this project.
Whether he sees it or not actually doesn't have a big impact on him. The worst he can do is go to the Xiangshan Film and Television Base to shoot scenes. Even the existing scenes of the ancient building film and television city can already meet most of the picture requirements.
There is really no suitable shooting location, and the use of computer special effects is not completely irreplaceable.
Not long after, people from the Chang'an branch of Huashang Shengyi Company arrived.
So far, in addition to the Kyoto headquarters, there are four branch offices overseas, including Shanghai, Xihang, Luocheng and Chang'an.
Of these four, the last
Both were ancient capitals of the Thirteen Dynasties, and the consideration at that time was the large number of well-preserved historical and cultural monuments in the area.
At this time, judging from the popularity of Hanfu in the city of Chang'an, it is obvious that such a branch design is completely reasonable.
Therefore, the people who can serve as general managers in these four places are all senior managers in charge of the Kyoto headquarters.
This is the case with Chang'an's Mu Yanxin, who also holds the position of vice president of the headquarters.
She was more proactive when meeting Jin Xishan than Liu Qingshan, because Jin Xishan was the general agent for mainland entertainment business.
The agent's scientific name is agent, which is a very general position. After all, it is not officially under the name of PT Company or Huashang Shengyi Company, but it is in charge of Huashang Shengyi's costume procurement issues for mainland costume film and television dramas.
Therefore, her existence is more like the business director of President Grace, but since she does not have specific positions in the two companies, she can be understood as Grace's private sales channel.
This type of person is the most unprovoked person in the company, because she obviously has a very deep personal relationship with Grace, and once she has emotions, she will directly react to the top-level stakeholders.
Moreover, many people know that Jin Xishan is Liu Qingshan's spokesperson, and Liu Qingshan not only holds the patent rights for the "Morning Blossoms Picked Up at Dusk" Hanfu sequence of twelve flower gods, but is also the major shareholder of Huashang Shengyi.
Based on these factors, even if he has been away from Kyoto all year round and does not know the true relationship between President Grace and these two people, when Jin Xishan asked the Chang'an branch to cooperate, Mu Yanxin would just come there in person without hesitation. .
The two women walked together and muttered for a long time, and then someone
Cartons of cardboard boxes were brought in.
Wang Jinghua called over all the girl group members who were resting on the beds in their respective rooms with just one phone call.
The room Liu Qingshan stayed in was a large suite with two bedrooms and a large living room, so in a blink of an eye, the two bedrooms became the girls' temporary dressing room.
Even so, Liu Qingshan's guests also said their goodbyes in time, and only three guests, Xu Wei, Guo Tao, and Zhang Zhenyue, stayed.
