Liu Xu moved very quickly. After deciding to shoot a TV series, the related filming work started directly. This is mainly because many of the 3 million people brought here are professional film and television production teams, including the production team that shot Liu Xu's promotional video for the Taoyuan Three Brothers.
So Liu Xu used this team as the core, brought together all the teams in the other three cities, selected a group of the most elite people, and directly formed an extremely powerful TV production team.
The chief director of the entire TV series is naturally Liu Xu himself. Liu Xu is not just playful and wants to try what it's like to be a director, but because he knows those directors too well.
Once these directors have the power in their hands, they must make the TV series how they like it, no matter how it is described in the original work.
This is also the reason why many obviously have excellent original works, but after being made into TV series, the plot turns into a piece of shit. Of course, some of them are due to the difficulty of shooting, but more of it is because the director is a human being, not an AI. He has his own ideas, aesthetics and values, so when shooting, he can’t help but add things that don’t fit his own aesthetics. Get rid of things that are in line with your values, leaving only those that fit you.
In some cases, not much can be left behind, so I simply stuff a lot of my own things into it, and the result is a piece of shit, completely ruining the original work.
So Liu Xu simply took over the job of the chief director. As for the director's professional skills, Liu Xu asked a dozen other professional directors to serve as assistant directors to help him, which solved the problem perfectly. .
As for another important aspect of TV drama shooting, which is the issue of actors, it will naturally be easier to solve. Liu Xu gave an order, no matter whether the other party is a vassal king of a certain vassal country, he must appear in front of Liu Xu obediently, follow Liu Xu's arrangements, and film a TV series for Liu Xu.
Liu Xu originally thought that the entire filming of the TV series would be very smooth, especially since there would be no problems with the actors. After all, no matter how good the actor is, he is still an actor, and Liu Xu simply brought the historical figure over, so there will definitely not be any problems in adapting the character image.
As for acting, isn't it just about recreating what happened to you in history? What problems can there be? What problems can there be if you act yourself?
But I never expected that, as mentioned above, problems would arise just after we started filming the first chapter of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
When we first started filming the story of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, it was okay. The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang had already played the role once, and the relationship between the three brothers was sincere, so there was no problem in just one line.
But something went wrong during the filming of the next plot of the battle against the Yellow Turbans. There was a section in the original plot where Dong Zhuo was defeated during the battle with the Yellow Turbans. Fortunately, Liu Bei arrived at that time and took the two brothers inside the Yellow Turbans for a while. He rushed to kill and saved Dong Zhuo's life. Dong Zhuo initially expressed his gratitude to Liu Bei.
Later, after learning that Liu Bei was still white and had no official position, he rolled his eyes at Liu Bei. Zhang Fei was so angry that he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo directly, but Liu Bei held him back.
The scene shot above was also shot in this scene. In Liu Xu’s opinion, it was very easy to shoot. Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to disperse the Yellow Turban soldiers who were chasing Dong Zhuo, and then went up to talk and reveal his identity. , Dong Zhuo gave him another roll of his eyes, and the scene ended.
However, when this TV scene was actually shot, when Dong Zhuo saw Liu Bei, there was no trace of contempt in his eyes, but he was full of caution and hatred.
So there was the above scene. When Liu Xu shot this set of scenes for the first time, Liu Bei just introduced himself, "Bino is white and has no official position."
As a result, Dong Zhuo not only didn't have any expression of disdain in his eyes, but he stared at Liu Bei with an expression that he wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. He didn't even roll his eyes, which made Liu Xu feel numb.
Although after repeated training by Liu Xu, Dong Zhuo was barely able to restrain his expression, the wariness and hatred in his bones could not be changed. Therefore, even after reshooting seven or eight times, every scene was very weird. Dong Zhuo's appearance Disdainful of Liu Bei, but any audience can see Dong Zhuo's hatred for Liu Bei from the picture.
In desperation, Liu Xu had no choice but not to take pictures of Dong Zhuo's face. After Liu Bei finished speaking his lines, he only asked Dong Zhuo to leave his back for Liu Bei. At the same time, he left without saying a line. He used body language to express this. Kind of disdainful.
But just as Liu Xu finished this shot, bigger trouble came the next second.
After seeing his eldest brother being so rudely rejected by Dong Zhuo, Zhang Fei in the original work couldn't bear it and said angrily: "We personally went to the bloody battle to save this guy, but he was so rude. If we don't kill him, , It’s hard to calm my anger!” He picked up the knife and was about to rush into the tent to kill Dong Zhuo, but Liu Bei persuaded him in every possible way and forcibly held Zhang Fei back.
But what no one expected was that when Liu Xu was filming this scene, Zhang Fei, who would have been persuaded by Liu Bei, actually broke free from Liu Bei's restraints, and no one, including Liu Xu himself, reacted. Under such circumstances, he rushed directly into Dong Zhuo's tent, and within a few seconds, he walked out with Dong Zhuo's head.
Although Dong Zhuo's population quickly turned into a point of light and disappeared, Zhang Fei was still there shouting excitedly, which made Liu Bei anxious. He grabbed Zhang Fei's arm and said, "Third brother, why are you like this!" "
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei shouted to Liu Bei, "Brother, ever since you asked me to let Dong Zhuo go, I regret it every time I think about it. If you hadn't held me back and asked me to kill Dong Zhuo, the evil thief, with one blow, Then how could I, a great Han, be tortured by Dong Zhuo, and how could the world's soldiers and horses flock to attack Dong. Even if I die afterwards, I can save the Han world and prevent you, eldest brother, from shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty alone. Then, third brother, I A worthy death!”
"So today I will simply kill Dong Zhuo, which can be regarded as making up for the regrets of the past!" Liu Bei was very moved by Zhang Fei's words, and he cried while holding Zhang Fei's good brother in his arms.
Liu Xu, on the other hand, looked at the sky blankly and thought to himself.
who I am?
Why should I make a TV series?
Why don't I find obedient actors instead of letting these original owners film TV series? I'm really a fool!
In the end, Liu Xu had to deal with the problem. He re-imaged Dong Zhuo and asked the angry Dong Zhuo to beat Zhang Fei violently. At the same time, he announced a reduction in Zhang Fei's salary and benefits, and then transferred all these to Dong Zhuo. This made Dong Zhuo feel a lot more comfortable.
After all, Dong Zhuo still has a lot of tasks and scenes for the upcoming filming of the TV series. The leading actor must not be allowed to give up. Otherwise, Liu Xu will have to clear Dong Zhuo's memory and start from scratch to re-image Dong Zhuo.
Liu Xu originally thought that after solving this problem, there would be no more troublesome things, but Liu Xu glanced at the script and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
Next, Sun Jian and Liu Bei, who also participated in the Yellow Turban War, will meet for the first time.
