Within a week after Tan Yue finished writing the script of "Wulin Gaiden", the cast of the crew was basically complete, the only thing missing were some supporting roles.
Tan Yue doesn't plan to look for it slowly. There are too many episodes of "Wulin Gaiden" and the filming process is very long. The missing supporting actors can be found later.
Because "Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom, it is different from traditional TV series. Each episode is an independent story module. Most of the supporting characters have roles in only one episode and will not run through the entire drama. Those who have not found supporting roles yet , can be placed behind for shooting.
As for the job of finding actors, it is natural to leave it to Qian Tao. After Qian Tao has a goal, he will leave it to Tan Yue and let Tan Yue take care of it.
On October 31st, the last day of this month, the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" gathered together.
The start date of "Wulin Gaiden" set by Tan Yue is November 1st. In the day or two before the start of filming, the actors have also been in place. Let's have a meal together tonight to get familiar with each other first and prepare for the subsequent filming. Just break it in.
This meal was also scheduled at the Tianling Hotel, because work would start the next day, so there was no drinking tonight, and everyone just gathered together to chat.
Nearly half of the actors are contracted artists of Bright Entertainment Company, and everyone is familiar with them. There are also artists from other companies, but the entertainment industry is so big. Some of them know each other, some of them have met each other and are just acquaintances, and some of them are just acquaintances. Although I don’t know him, the entertainment industry is so big, and you can get there by just making connections.
Although I didn't drink, the meal was quite enjoyable.

The next day, early in the morning, buses took the crew members of "Wulin Gaiden" to the film and television base in the suburbs of Beijing.
When Tan Yue chooses actors, he almost never chooses the kind of young actors who can't bear the hardships. Most of them are veteran actors who are quite dedicated.
And everyone also attaches great importance to the new drama "Wulin Gaiden" directed by Tan Yue. You know, playing a role in a TV series directed by Tan Yue is something that no one can ask for. .
Therefore, no one complained about the crew's arrangements, such as getting up from the hotel at six o'clock and going from a five-star hotel in the city center to a hotel next to the film and television base.
This is the normal state of the entertainment industry. Tan Yue sometimes feels that the development of the entertainment industry is a bit abnormal. I read the news before that some young actors got a pinprick-sized wound on their finger while filming, and they had to go to the hospital to have it bandaged. Some actors don't even memorize their lines during filming, they just open their mouths and read the numbers, and then find someone to dub them later.
It’s hard to imagine whether this is an actor or an ancestor found for the crew.
In Tan Yue's crew, he would never allow this situation to happen. In his opinion, the basic foundation for an excellent actor is to endure hardships and stand hard work. Not to mention getting up early in the morning to shoot, even if it is three or four in the morning. When filming, you have to obey the crew's arrangements.
After arriving at the Beijing Film and Television Base, the actors could go to the hotel to rest, but the crew immediately started working. The opening ceremony of "Wulin Gaiden" will be held as usual this morning, and the actual filming will not start until the afternoon.
In fact, it is not troublesome to arrange the power-on ceremony. All the required things have been prepared beforehand, and it is just some trivial work.
Before ten o'clock, the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" had arranged all the items for the opening ceremony.
At this time, many media reporters were already surrounding "Wulin Gaiden".
There have been rumors that Tan Yue is going to film a new drama, and the subject matter is a sitcom.
This topic can be said to be full of gimmicks. Tan Yue's current status in the film and television industry can be said to be at the top level among many directors in China. In a previous interview, the well-known director Jiang Bei bluntly said that Tan Yue is a genius director. In fact, This is nonsense. Everyone can see that Tan Yue is a talented director. However, the person who said this was Jiang Bei, who invisibly gave Tan Yue a thumbs up.
It is said that since "Underground Traffic Station", many people are eager for Tan Yue to make another sitcom. First, "Underground Traffic Station" is so exciting. After watching "Underground Traffic Station", I will watch other TV series. Can't help but feel a little boring. Second, directors and screenwriters in many circles want to steal more lessons from Tan Yue. Currently, there are dozens of sitcoms in China, and no creative staff of any of them dare to say that they have not watched "Underground Traffic Station". Influenced by "Underground Traffic Station".
Many media outlets have used various methods to verify the authenticity of the rumors with Bright Entertainment Company, but before they could confirm it, "Wulin Gaiden" was about to start filming.
Tan Yue had not responded to media inquiries before, and the filming of "Wulin Gaiden" also needed momentum, so Tan Yue did not stop the arrival of many media. As long as they came, they could watch before the opening ceremony of "Wulin Gaiden" .
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
This time, hundreds of media came to the opening ceremony of "Wulin Gaiden".
On the concrete floor, there is a red carpet twenty to thirty meters long. On one side of the red carpet is a large launch poster of "Wulin Gaiden". Five or six meters in front of the launch poster is an Eight Immortals table. There were sacrifices such as pig heads, chickens, ducks, and fish. In the middle of the sacrifices was a palm-sized incense burner. Next to it were unlit incense sticks.
After the start-up ceremony began, Tan Yue led the crew and creative staff to start placing incense.
At the same time, the media reporters nearby pressed the shutters of their cameras one after another, and photos were taken.
After burning incense, Tan Yue briefly accepted an interview with the reporters on site.
Tan Yue originally didn't want to be interviewed, but since they were all here, it was just a matter of course to say a few words.
After the power-on ceremony, it was already 11:40, and it was time to have lunch.
The crew has dedicated staff to buy lunch boxes, but although it is a lunch box for the crew, it is relatively rich, with one serving of rice per person, plus three meat and two vegetable dishes.
Under a temporary arbor, Tan Yue sat on a maza, holding a lunch box in his hand. He had been busy all morning and was a little hungry. While eating, a fair-skinned and good-looking young man walked in.
"Director." The young man came to Tan Yue and said.
Tan Yue raised his head, glanced at the young man, and said with a smile, "Xiao Bu, are all the reporters gone?"
The young man's name is Lu Xiaobu. It is said that his father admired his ancestor Lu Bu very much and gave him a small cloth.
When filming "Lotus Lantern", Lu Xiaobu was with the crew, and later filmed "Underground Traffic Station" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" with the crew. He was very capable, and Tan Yue was deeply impressed by his name. , so this time during the filming of "Wulin Gaiden", Tan Yue asked Lu Xiaobu to be the director's assistant.
Lu Xiaobu nodded and said, "They're all gone."
Tan Yue hummed and said with a smile: "Okay, let's all go, so we don't have to chase people away. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat together. After eating and resting for a while, it's time to prepare for the first shooting in the afternoon."
"Okay, director." Lu Xiaobu nodded, picked up a lunch box next to him, sat on a horse next to him, and started eating.

Reporters from various media came back from the opening ceremony of "Wulin Gaiden" and brought first-hand information. Although they did not get much information about "Wulin Gaiden" from Tan Yue, Tan Yue wanted to film It’s a new drama, and it’s also a sitcom, which is already the biggest draw.
Soon, news about Tan Yue and his new drama "Wulin Gaiden" was widely reported on the Internet.
"Jinghua Daily": "Tan Yue's new drama "Wulin Gaiden" has officially started production, and the opening ceremony will be held at the Beijing Film and Television Base on November 1!"
"Southern Entertainment Weekly": "The rumors are true, Tan Yue's new drama has started filming. This is his second sitcom after "Underground Traffic Station"!"
"Magic City Morning News": "The TV industry has once again set off a trend of sitcoms. Previously, "Jiang Hu Piao Hao" started filming, and now "Wulin Gaiden" has attracted attention again!"
"Yangcheng Evening News": "The title of Tan Yue's new drama "Wulin Gaiden" is the same type of sitcom as "Underground Traffic Station". I wonder if it can break the sitcom ratings record set by "Underground Traffic Station"!"
On the Internet, many netizens were shocked.
Previously, the news that Tan Yue was going to film a new drama or sitcom only spread in the entertainment industry, and most netizens didn't know about it.
Now I suddenly saw online media reporting that Tan Yue's new drama has been launched, and many people were confused.
"Holy shit, is it true? Teacher Tan Yue is going to film a new drama? Or is it a sitcom?"
"Oh my god, the surprise came so suddenly. I really didn't have any precautions!"
"Ahhhhhhh, it's true! It's true! I thought I had read a fake news, and then I searched online anxiously. Unexpectedly, even "Jinghua Daily" and "Yangcheng Evening News" reported it. There are also photos, this must be real! I’m so excited!”
"I've always wanted to see Mr. Tan Yue shoot a new sitcom, but I didn't expect that I'd finally wait until this time in my lifetime!"
"Oh haha, is it possible that our teacher Tan Yue's comments on Weibo were seen by Teacher Tan Yue?"
""Wulin Gaiden"? It seems to be about the ancient martial arts. Although it is also a sitcom, it seems to be completely different from "Underground Traffic Station"."
"Hiss, do you think this is because Teacher Tan Yue was very unhappy after watching Yu Bin's "Jianghu Tickets", and then decided to film "Wulin Gaiden"?"
"Hahaha, I hope that's the case. I've long been dissatisfied with the films "Jianghu Family" and "Jianghu Ticket Number". It's time to teach them a lesson!"
...
...
Jianjiang Province, Hengdian Film and Television City.
On the set of "Jiang Hu Ticket Number", in a tent of more than ten square meters, the air conditioner whirred and the temperature was controlled at 25 to 6 degrees, which was ten degrees lower than outside.
Director Yu Bin is sitting on a chair behind the table. There is a laptop on the table. On the computer is the content shot this morning.
Although the results of "Jianghu Family" were very good, Yu Bin did not relax about the new drama because of this. On the contrary, he was extremely careful and conscientious in the filming of the new drama "Jianghu Ticket Number", and had to check the content repeatedly every day. all over.
He has high hopes for the new drama "Jianghu Ticket Number", making this drama a new milestone classic in sitcoms. When future generations mention sitcoms, they will not be able to bypass him. Yu Bin name.
Yu Bin is also ambitious, and his ambition is not small.
Ding ding ding.
While Yu Bin was checking the shooting content, the mobile phone placed on the table suddenly rang.
Yu Bin picked up his phone and looked at it. It was a call from Director Qi Kai.
Yu Bin pressed the answer button. He was the only one in the tent at the moment. He didn't bother to pick up his phone and just clicked on speakerphone.
"Director." Yu Bin smiled.
On the phone, the voice of Qi Kai, director of the TV series department of Huaguang Entertainment Company, came, "Director Yu, are you busy?"
"No, I'm resting in the tent."
"Well, Director Yu, have you seen the news about "Wulin Gaiden"?"
""Wulin Gaiden"? What is this?"
Yu Bin frowned and asked in confusion.
Although there were rumors in the industry that Tan Yue was going to film a new drama, there were no details and the title of the drama was not revealed.
After that, the filming of "Jianghu Ticket Number" began. Yu Bin also joined the crew and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the filming. Not only was he cut off from outside news, he had almost no time to understand it.
The news of "Wulin Gaiden" was widely reported on the Internet today, and Yu Bin didn't know about it yet.
On the phone, Qi Kai's voice was a little solemn and said: "Director Yu, "Wulin Gaiden" is a new drama that Tan Yue is going to shoot. Today the drama just held a launch ceremony at the Beijing Film and Television Base... This drama is also a scene. comedy."
After hearing Qi Kai's words, Yu Bin was also stunned. He raised his eyebrows fiercely, "Tan Yue also filmed a sitcom?"
"Yes, and I don't know whether he did it intentionally or not. The new drama is also set in ancient times, and it is quite similar to "Jianghu Tickets". It also tells the story of ancient martial arts and rivers and lakes. I'm worried that he is targeting "Jianghu". The ticket number is here." Qi Kai said worriedly.
When Yu Bin first heard the news, he was a little nervous. After all, Tan Yue did not film many dramas, but the ratings of each one were ridiculously high. To say that there are many dramas in China nowadays Among directors, who has the most bluffing name? Seven out of ten people are talking about Tan Yue.
However, the tension quickly dissipated, and Yu Bin's face was a little eager to try. He began to look forward to it, "Director, I would like to have a head-on confrontation with Tan Yue."
Qi Kai: "..."
On the phone, Qi Kai reminded: "Director Yu, I have been dealing with Tan Yue for many years. This person still has a lot of skills. Don't underestimate him. Otherwise, he will easily fall into trouble."
Qi Kai's words were somewhat polite, but the reason why he came to Huaguang Entertainment from the prosperous Bright Entertainment Company was all thanks to Tan Yue, so when he heard Yu Bin's contempt for Tan Yue, he couldn't help but immediately reminded him.
