Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 144 Daily Life on the Crew (2/4)

The New Return of the Pearl Princess was made into three films, namely, "Return of the Pearl Princess: Flying Swallows", "Return of the Pearl Princess: Wind Blows", and "Return of the Pearl Princess: Where Does the Lover Return?"

98 episodes!
Add to that the year-end blockbuster dramas "Palace" and "Scarlet Heart," and Mango TV has already used up all its quota for period dramas...

According to regulations, the total number of episodes of costume dramas broadcast annually during prime time on all satellite TV comprehensive channels shall not exceed 15% of the total number of episodes of all dramas broadcast during prime time in that year.

The companies most affected by this regulation include Ciwen Media and Tangren...

Because these two companies specialize in costume dramas!
Later, the platform made great efforts, the enthusiasm of foreign capital had not completely subsided, and the film and television industry had not yet entered a "cold winter", which gave emerging film and television companies the opportunity to speak with their strength.

But these have nothing to do with Shen Yan.

Huace is not the dominant force in costume dramas.

In the past two years, in addition to "Lotus Tower", they have focused more on remaking classics and have invested in many costume dramas: "Meteor Butterfly Sword", "Swordsman", "Empress Wu Zetian", "Empress Dugu", and "The Deer and the Cauldron" (starring Han Dong). However, most of them are only limited to hits and it is difficult to get out of the circle!

However, the costume dramas "The Legend of Zhong Kui" and "The Heavenly Master Zhong Kui" in which they fully invested, and at the same time introduced the Hong Kong TVB palace drama "The Palace", set a record of No. 1 in the national ratings.

Then, costume dramas began to transform into fairy tales, and after that, gay dramas became popular...

It set off a wave of craze for ancient costume dramas...

But these have nothing to do with "Love Through the Millennium", which is a modern drama...

But it has a lot to do with Shen Yan!

His positioning is a costumed young man...

The ancient restriction order...has a great impact on his route.

Yang Siwei has formulated a new route: idol dramas and urban dramas!
"Love Through the Millennium" is definitely an idol drama, as for urban dramas... there are currently no suitable scripts...

But she's been fangirling over Zhao Baogang. I heard he's working on "Beijing Youth"...

Oh, back to the dinner party...

Mao Xiaotong mentioned "New Return of the Condor Heroes", and then Reyiza and Zhao Qin also joined in the conversation.

The three of them were actors from the TV series “The Legend of Zhen Huan”. Ji Xiang had a good relationship with the casting director of “The Legend of Zhen Huan”, so he used the three of them…

"Director Zheng was also very unsure and worried, unable to sleep... He often went to the crew of 'New My Fair Princess' next door with Teacher Chen Jianbing to observe..."

"That's normal. Who dares to say they can beat 'New Return of the Pearl'?"

There is no way around it, "New Return of the Condor Heroes" has been the king of dramas since the project was launched... the popularity is right up to the limit!
Moreover, the newly selected actors are young and energetic, which is in line with the current market demand...

Shen Yan waved his hand: "Ours is a modern drama, so it's not a big problem, and Shi Shi is very popular!"

Liu Shishi was slightly stunned: "Why are you talking about me? Can I be as famous as you?"

Zhao Yifang interrupted, "Haha, that's right. With Xiao Shen and Shi Shi, the ratings will definitely be high!" Then he asked Shi Shi, "By the way, it seems Shi Shi has also joined the crew of 'The Beauty Inside'..."

"Well, I only filmed one scene, it was kind of a cameo!"

"Didn't you act with Shen Yan?"

"We are one person, we can't act together!"

"Are you two the same person?"

Shi Shi looked at Shen Yan, who continued, "...We both play the same role, and this role has a setting, which is that every day when you wake up, you will become a different person!"

"Martin's Morning?"

“Yes, it’s a reference to Martin’s Morning…”

"Martin's Morning" is a Sino-French animation. It tells the story of a little boy named Martin who wakes up every morning and turns into a new appearance, such as Superman, a dragon, a king, an alien, etc., which triggers a series of stories with different contents.

In a sense, it's similar to The Beauty Inside...

Zhao Yifang exclaimed in admiration: "So, you young people are really amazing. You actually found inspiration from cartoons!"

"…If Sister Zhao is interested, I can expand on the script, change the setting, add a few characters, and make a 20-episode TV series." "Would you like to star?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "...I'm not suitable for this role..."

Actually, Shen Yan was just suggesting it, he didn't really want to do it...

There's already a movie version, so a TV series version is unlikely to achieve the same ratings and reputation...

Only "To Live", "The Siege of the City in October" and "Red Sorghum" are okay.

Oh, the TV series version of "To Live" is called "Fugui", starring Chen Chuang and Liu Mintao...

But Zhao Yifang nodded directly: "Okay, Huace wants this script. According to the highest market price, 5 yuan per episode!"

Shen Yan... could only nod...

……

"Love Through the Millennium" was filmed in two locations, Hangzhou and Hengdian...

Hengdian mainly filmed the scenes of the male lead, Gong Ming, a scholar-official of the Western Han Dynasty played by Shen Yan, as well as some scenes of the female lead Lin Xiangxiang.

Hangzhou is the scene after the time travel...

To put it simply, "Love Through the Millennium" is a love that transcends time and space.

During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, the scholar-official Gong Ming upheld orthodoxy and opposed the dethronement of Empress Xu. After being hunted down, he traveled through time to 2011, two thousand years later, and met the young actress Lin Xiangxiang who played the role of Empress Xu.

Using mobile phones as a medium, the two fell in love with each other during several times of traveling through time and space, and became devoted to each other, living a warm and sweet life in modern time and space.

But in Gongming's original time and space, he still had a mission of swords and swords to fulfill, and the destined ending in history books to be reversed.

Gong Ming repeatedly travels back two thousand years, hoping to change the current situation...

In the end, it didn’t work out!

The ending is actually forced to be perfect: in ancient times, Gong Ming, disheartened, threw himself into the lake. In modern times, Lin Xiangxiang ran to the bridge and saw the red rope in the lake. It was the red rope that Xiangxiang had tied for Gong Ming herself. Then she jumped into the lake and saw Gong Ming. The present and the ancient times merged the moment they held hands...

Later, they got married.

You can't torture the audience anymore, right?

Oh, the first scene we filmed was a kissing scene!

This drama has a lot of kissing scenes...

Before filming began, Shen Yan was a little embarrassed, although he and Shi Shi were very familiar with each other privately, let alone kissing, he had kissed everywhere!
But filming a kissing scene in front of so many people, I felt like I was being watched...

Moreover, the kissing scenes in front of the camera are different from the actual situation. The camera pursues beauty!

The scenes have to be rehearsed repeatedly before filming, and the director has to make minor adjustments temporarily, such as the angle, how to place the hands, how to look, etc.!

Liang Shengquan is more experienced...

The photography, lighting, radio and sound effects are all very experienced seniors!
There were too many people, so Shen Yan had to pay some attention to the shooting effect when shooting...

Then we had to shoot a scene seven or eight times before it was completed!

After finishing the scene, Shen Yan immediately thanked the two masters holding the headlights and cameras: "Big Brother, thank you for your hard work!"

They stood there for over an hour holding lights and cameras...

It’s really tiring!
The master waved his hand: "It's okay, it's going very smoothly..."

Shen Yan took the staff member's water cup, took a sip, and then asked, "How long did the longest kissing scene you've ever experienced take?"

"We shot over 40 takes... I won't tell you which movie it was!"

"Wow, can you shoot so many kissing scenes?"
