However, Liu Qingshan took a more cautious attitude: "It's best if you can get in. If you can't get in, don't force it. I have enough confidence in my own work and I don't intend to accommodate anyone for the sake of broadcast!"
There is a source for what he said. A major network like this has certain privileges, such as being able to independently decide on the plot adaptations of broadcast works.
Liu Qingshan will never let his works be deleted at will, and he knows that this drama has its own special characteristics and is not an anti-war drama in the traditional sense.
For example, some of the folk lingo in the old society of the Northeast shown in the plot is content that should not be broadcast by the national television.
But if this part is cut out, it will greatly affect Thief Jiu's background, and in turn affect some of his subsequent character development.
Moreover, the character of the bandit is very strong in Jianghu loyalty, and the bandit spirit in him is also very strong. These will cause the national TV broadcast version to be targeted and deleted.
Mr. Han smiled and said: "I have read the complete script, and there are indeed some that are not suitable for national television to broadcast. However, I will put forward your attitude specifically on this issue. If they are willing to accept it, I will broadcast the original version. If there is any need to make changes, I will Just give up on national television!"
Long Qingsheng also had a similar view to Liu Qingshan: "Shanzi and I have the same idea. Neither of us is optimistic that the national TV series will be broadcast. If it is switched to the eighth TV drama channel, it is better to broadcast it on local satellite TV. The ratings Still no worries!"
Liu Qingshan agrees with this statement, "The ratings of the four major TV stations are getting higher and higher, and I prefer to broadcast it in Shanghai. Of course, it is ideal to be broadcast on the national TV station, but the premise is the integrity of the content !」
Some of the content in anti-war dramas with this theme does conflict with similar dramas from the mainland.
But if it can be broadcast on the national TV station, not only the ratings will be guaranteed, but it will even affect the evaluation of various awards in the future. After all, a work recognized by the national mouthpiece will be valued even by judges with old ideas. at this point.
Perhaps after watching the shooting quality of the first two episodes, I had a good idea of what it was, and everyone was very excited to talk about it. Even though there was only a rough cut without any post-dubbing, the specific quality could not be seen yet.
But as far as the broadcast content is concerned, the edited plot is very consistent with the description in the script.
What makes people feel at ease is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, as the protagonist, Liu Qingshan not only has excellent acting skills, but his image transformation is also quite amazing.
Judging from the content displayed so far, it seems to have the technical level of an experienced actor.
What's more important is that the acting skills of the actors in the play are all on the line, and the characters that have appeared are basically all brilliant and memorable.
Especially Mr. Wu's highlight performance, which Brother Qian has always admired, was vivid, composed and superb, and was vividly portrayed by a character with such distinctive characteristics.
It is no exaggeration to call it a movie-winning performance. The key is that the entire performance is natural and there is no trace of deliberate interpretation.
And the long scene with Liu Qingshan against Biao can actually be watched in one breath, and it just feels like the time has passed by in a blink of an eye, without any sense of dullness.
You must know that the current version is still very rough, without any decorative sounds, fine CGI or special effects.
However, it is precisely because of this that the value of that long scene of Biao is even more valuable. It also verified the two people's deep and steady performance skills and their thorough understanding of the characters.
Needless to say, Mr. Wu, especially Liu Qingshan's acting skills are already comparable to those of senior actors.
The audience can feel the charm of a professional actor in him, which is the professionalism and composure that many popular niche actors lack.
Especially Mr. Han, through such an almost explosive performance, finally gained a deep understanding of Liu Qingshan's thoughts.
He made full use of these grassroots training to better train himself.
This is also the reason why Liu Qingshan, at such a young age, can be very impressive in every role he plays, no matter what he plays.
When I heard about Liu Qingshan's decision before, the third master also said
He was full of incomprehension. After all, most people knew that his horizons were no longer at home, and he was always accumulating energy for being able to go out.
If he is willing to star in this kind of anti-war drama that can only be marketed in the mainland, and it is such a self-destructive performance, any young actor would never take the initiative to find such a role for himself to practice.
The hard work seems to have become secondary at this time, because strictly speaking, he has a huge symbol of an idol star. It is not an exaggeration to say that his role play this time is self-destructive.
It can also be seen from this that this person's pattern is unimaginably vast and far-reaching.
Moreover, his performance was freewheeling and very natural. It didn't look like he was acting at all. The performance in the play was just like what happened in real life.
At the end of the preview, Mr. Han also said to Liu Qingshan: "The guest actors you need will arrive in the next two days, but they are very busy. If you can finish the filming in one day, try to make use of their time." Bar!"
There are a few characters in this drama who don't appear much, or even just small roles that they meet.
Originally, Liu Qingshan had no intention of using favors, but several investors responded positively.
After all, he patted his chest to ensure that every character was carefully crafted. If he made a mistake with these inconspicuous little characters, it would be a major mistake that outweighs the gain and loss.
In this way, several people discussed and discussed, and finally decided to take the traditional route of celebrity guest appearances.
This is not only a publicity stunt, but also adds quality assurance and attraction to the show, so why not do it.
The key thing is that Liu Qingshan himself has enough appeal, and it is a very common phenomenon in the industry to have the opportunity to have further contact with him in this way.
However, he would not be the sponsor. It would be a favor, and how to repay it in the future would be a troublesome matter. So he simply pushed it forward and left it to the third master and the others to contact him.
Moreover, Mr. Han can do it with his influence alone, even with just a phone call. Who gives him the monopoly of import and export resources?
Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: "It doesn't have to be a big name. A few movie stars will make me very embarrassed!"
The Third Master grinned in amusement, "I won't tell you who the person is right now, you will know when the time comes. I don't care if you are embarrassed or not. Anyway, the person was invited for you. How to use it is your business. We can't help. Get busy!"
"We have agreed that you have to pay for the travel expenses back and forth, and it was you who came up with the idea to hire people. Besides, our crew is not rich in funds!"
"Who are you kidding? Who doesn't know that Liu Qingshan's crew always eats and drinks well, and every time they are funded, they are extremely rich."
"These are two different things. The conditions are too difficult. If we don't find some way to make up for it, no one will have any reason to film with me in the future!"
"Okay, no matter what you say, you are right! Don't worry, this money will come from the publicity expenses. If the few people invited are satisfied with your arrangement, maybe we can give you a little more money."
In fact, everyone knows who has the final say in this project, and there is no need to speak out about some things.
Liu Qingshan's expression like this is just to express his attitude. He is equivalent to directing and acting himself, and he also has to take care of most of the work of a producer. It would be better if he can be less involved in other things.
The first batch of celebrity guest candidates that the two talked about came the next day, and there were two at once.
These two people also know each other, one is Chen Daosheng and the other is Chen Baoguo, both are movie king-level figures.
Among them, Liu Qingshan only met the former a few times and had relatively good communication with him.
The latter was too familiar to him. Not only had he collaborated with him many times, Liu Qingshan also helped him write a script.
However, it was Chen Daosheng who spoke first when we met: "Just ask Jinghua to call me for this kind of thing. There is no need to go around to Third Master, right?"
He is also an artist under Wang Jinghua and is the biggest number one.
Liu Qingshan didn't dare to neglect, and quickly said: "I didn't know that I would invite you two over, this is not something I insist on!"
"But you still have the final say as to what role you will play, right?"
Chen Daosheng was as calm and generous as ever, but no matter how full his face was with a smile, he would inadvertently reveal a touch of nobility in his every frown and smile.
His most famous work is playing the role of an emperor, but that supreme majesty is not entirely a performance, but a kind of temperament that comes with him.
When dealing with this person face to face, you can't help but feel fear in your heart. He is the only person with such a temperament in the entire mainland entertainment industry.
Moreover, this person's voice is extremely mellow and magnetic, so the characters he plays basically use the original voice. .z.
After Liu Qingshan hurriedly greeted Chen Baoguo, he bowed to invite people to take their seats and explained at the same time.
Chen Daosheng plays the head of a military region this time, the immediate boss of Commander Wu played by Zhang Guoqiang.
Chen Baoguo was assigned to be a political commissar at the same level as the chief. The two of them had only two scenes in total and only had a dozen lines in total.
Obviously Mr. Han invited the two of them here just for these two roles. It was just a few conversations. It only took half a day to finish filming and change the costumes.
The temperament of the two people is exactly the same. Obviously, hiring a guest star requires careful consideration and cannot be careless.
But the two people invited were too big names, which Liu Qingshan never expected. Originally, he thought that at most two veteran actors would be invited.
You must know that their worth is one of the top two in mainland China. They traveled more than 2,200 kilometers from Kyoto just for less than half a day of filming. This is a huge favor.
In addition, a person like this is very busy at work, and he spares time to travel thousands of kilometers back and forth without any compensation. It would be impossible for others to even think about it.
That's why Liu Qingshan's attitude was so humble, almost like a nodding and bowing waiter.
Chen Baoguo suppressed his laughter and teased him: "Why, your attitude is very low today. I remember foreigners call you the God of Killing!"
