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

Chapter 269: Don’t Delay Things (1/4)

Can understand.

"Love Is Not Blind" made Shen Yan a lot of money!
Many people are speculating about how much Shen Yan actually earned...

He himself admitted in an interview that "at least 100 million!"

But no one has given the most accurate number.

No matter how they asked, Shen Yan could not answer. He just said, "The movie has not been released yet, and the profit sharing has not been received yet. It's too early to talk about these things now!"

Shoot the first bird!

It’s better for us to make a fortune quietly.

Then the producer, Luo Hao, who is also the deputy director of Changsha TV Station, said:

"In recent years, TV dramas have been chasing ratings, but with all sorts of fake ratings news popping up all the time, it's kind of confusing what the goal is... what makes a good drama?
In the past, when people talked about TV dramas, they would mention "Towards the Republic" and "The Right Path of Life is Vicissitudes." These were also the industry's recognized goals to catch up to. But now, there are no goals... We made "The Battle of Changsha" to set a new benchmark... to tell practitioners that this is a good drama!

Oh, Luo Hao is an old acquaintance of Zhang Li. Back then, it was he who led Changsha TV station to create "Towards the Republic" with the efforts of the entire station!
Later, he created "The Yongzheng Dynasty", "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and "The Young Comrades".

A very capable TV personality...

He was the main organizer of "Battle of Changsha", which was produced by Changsha TV, Hunan TV and CCTV...

Directly classified as a main theme drama!
As for Fang Xianjue, who Shen Yan and Ji Xiang had been worried about, it wasn't a problem at all...

—The film didn’t even feature him, instead focusing on the foresight of Lieutenant General Zhao Junmai, who organized the people of Hengyang to build a large number of national defense fortifications starting in 1942, which took two years…

This was also the main reason why Fang Xianqie was able to lead his troops to resist for 47 days in the Battle of Hengyang.

……

Hengdian attaches great importance to this drama - there are many crews shooting in Hengdian every year, but there are only a few influential dramas!

"Battle of Changsha" is definitely the standard of a drama king.

Therefore, a special person in charge was arranged to receive the crew...

Shen Yan...attended the press conference and then returned to the hotel - his scenes will start shooting the day after tomorrow, and he will attend a script reading in the evening.

The character of Gu Qingming is perfect!

A son of an aristocratic family, his father has a close personal relationship with the chairman, but Gu Qingming has none of the bad habits of a playboy. He is kind, brave, resolute, well-educated, handsome, from a good family, resourceful, passionate yet calm, and has a sense of righteousness for his country and family...

A person who lives facing death without fear.

At first, he wanted to go to the front line...

Later, when faith was shattered, how could there be any talk of ideals?

He is an outsider of the Hu family - this character is a bit dull and out of touch with the Hu family...

It's normal. After all, he is from a noble family, and the Hu family is just a small local family!

Out of place...

The most brilliant thing about "The Battle of Changsha" is that it uses the rise and fall of a small family to metaphorically describe the disasters suffered by a country in war. This is what we often say, seeing the big picture from the small. This is precisely the part that can make people empathize the most. We have no concept of the country, but seeing a family go from being prosperous and happy to declining and dying, even if it is heartless, we can't help but sigh.

Gu Qingming's storyline is a love story, but it also reflects the infighting within the KMT's leadership during the Anti-Japanese War.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang. It was... Yang Mi!
Sent him the room number...

Oh, she is filming for the "Painted Skin 2" crew next door!
Is this a solution?
Shen Yan pondered for a moment, then replied, "There's a script reading tonight... I can't go!"

No lie... the so-called script reading is when the actors read their lines according to their roles...

On the one hand, it improves the actors’ understanding of the script, and on the other hand, it also helps them get to know…

In addition, it also serves as a test: the script reading is the best way to test the actors' line delivery skills. There is no frills, just pure dialogue, and you can tell who has a higher or lower voice by just listening.

Shen Yan must not show his cowardice!
He is the leading male role.

We must definitely make sufficient preparations.

Then Yang Mi replied, "How about I come to you now... send me the room number!" "Aren't you filming?"

'Just go away for an hour or two, no problem!'

No, are you so anxious?

……

The crew of "Painted Skin 2", this drama is Wu Ershan's first big production!

Chen Guofu is the producer.

Actually, the copyright of Painted Skin is in the hands of Yang Zhenjian of Qilin Films...

But he found Huayi to cooperate...

Then Huayi took control of the work!
——Huayi is the producer and director.

Yang Zhenjian must have been very unhappy. Later, he organized his own production of "Asura". Well, it cost 7 million RMB and was said to be a big production comparable to "Avatar". It was released for two days and then withdrawn...

At this time, Wu Ershan was still very serious and good at spending money!

The reason why he was chosen to be the director of "Painted Skin 2" is because he is good at doing big things with little money - his directorial debut "Blades of Smiles" cost 700 million, but the effect is almost the same as that of a 3000 million one!

During this period, Wu Ershan was still the kind of commercial film director that everyone was optimistic about—he would not insert personal symbols into his works...

Unfortunately, when it comes to "Fengshen", one can't stop inserting private goods.

If you want to film "Eternal Heaven", just go ahead and film it. Why do you want to take advantage of "Investiture of the Gods"?
Ahem...

Now we are going to shoot the little skylark’s scenes, and then... Yang Mi is gone!

"Where's Yang Mi?"

“…I don’t know…”

"Calling someone..."

The acting assistant director immediately called Yang Mi's assistant...

Her assistant answered the phone anxiously, explaining, "Director, Sister Mi has an interview and will be back in half an hour at most!"

"Interview? No interview can possibly affect the filming of the crew!"

"Please bear with us, we promise to be back soon!"

"…hurry up!"

After hearing the assistant director's report, Wu Ershan cursed: "She is the only one who has too much trouble. Everyone in our crew is a top star!"

"Should we adjust the shoot then?"

"How do we adjust? Whose scene are we filming?"

"Now?"

"Wait!"

Wu Ershan sighed, then went to complain to Chen Guofu...

After a while, Yang Mi came back...

Find the director and apologize immediately.

What can the director say?
She is very popular now, and she is acting in "Painted Skin 2" to give face to the crew...

——Zhao Yanzi, the most popular character in "Painted Skin 2", had a Baidu index of only 20 or , which was already very popular, while Yang Mi's Baidu index once exceeded .

Let me put it this way, she went to Milan Fashion Week in 2011. At that time, those who were able to join the team were Fan Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and the like. It was her first time for a post-85 young actress to appear on the stage of an international fashion week!

Oh, and later Chen Guofu commented on her, "She was always running around, in and out, which made the time very tight, and the space we had to work with her was compressed!"
