Chapter 56 Chen Yuan: I've become the biggest weakness in the crew!

(Seeking votes at the beginning of the month!)
There were many Hong Kongers in the crew, so Chen Yuan followed their tradition and held a grand opening ceremony.

After setting out roast suckling pig, apples, oranges, pomelos, pineapples, incense, candles, and red cloth, Chen Yuan, holding a stick of incense, stood at the front and led all the main creators of the film crew in worshipping Lord Guan.

Amidst the dense clicking of camera shutters from reporters, the highly anticipated film "Legend of Seven Swords," directed and starring Chen Yuan, a director who boasts a budget of 1 million yuan and currently holds the record for the highest-grossing film in China, officially began filming!
According to the filming plan developed by the screenwriting team and the executive director team, each episode of "Legend of Seven Swords" is 45 minutes long, and the filmed content is expected to be edited into 50 to 60 episodes.

It's not padding out the runtime, but rather a genuine main and side storyline that progresses normally, packed with substantial content.

Currently, most commercially invested TV dramas only have 20 to 30 episodes. The bad practice of film and television companies drastically increasing the number of episodes to sell to TV stations for more money has not yet spread.

With so much content to film, "Legend of the Seven Swords" is undoubtedly a super-large-scale production.

Even if director Zhang Jianya assembled a very strong filming team for Chen Yuan, capable of operating two sets simultaneously, it would still take at least six months to film, even under the most ideal circumstances.

Except for green screen studio shooting, some palace scenes in Hengdian, and winter snow scenes that cannot be filmed in Sichuan, all other scenes will be completed in Sichuan.

With the addition of post-production work for no less than 1000 special effects shots, the TV series wouldn't air until at least the second half of 02.

However, "Legend of Seven Swords" has already been invested in by CCTV and can be broadcast directly on CCTV-8's prime time slot, so there is no need to worry about the broadcasting platform.

Once the production team actually started working on the project, Chen Yuancai truly realized how much he needed to catch up on.

The current number of permanent staff in the "Legend of Seven Swords" production team exceeds the number of staff during the peak of the production team when they filmed the Wuliangye commercial last year.

No matter how perfectly planned, things will still fall apart when it comes to actually doing it, and there are rarely any smooth sailing moments.

Adjusting and revising storyboards based on actual conditions, rehearsing and refining action scenes with the action choreographer and actors, reviewing set design on set, and endlessly coordinating with lighting, cinematography, and art direction teams.
Today Yang Xue sprained her ankle; tomorrow An Zhijie lost control and kicked Wu Jin to the ground; the day after tomorrow, a group of lighting crew members ate wild mushrooms and all got poisoned; and the day after that, an extra was bitten on the toe by a snake.
Chen Yuan was confident he could handle even ten Yellow Saint Cloth warriors attacking together.
However, the various situations that kept happening on the set of "Legend of the Seven Swords" left Chen Yuan completely bewildered.

In reality, he didn't need to do that; the various instructions from the nominal assistant director in the crew were done for him.

There are many assistants who can help Chen Yuan handle most of the problems encountered by the crew.

But if Chen Yuan wants Yuan Universe to adopt a producer-centric model, he must first become a qualified producer himself.

He wanted to rely on himself as much as possible, and first familiarize himself with the working methods of a large production crew with dozens of departments from the perspective of a producer.

You don't need to know the name of every resident staff member, nor do you need to fully understand the specific work of every group in every department, but you must have a general impression.

Furthermore, the [Oxytocin Body] aura effect doesn't take effect immediately upon activation; it requires interaction with the affected object to unleash its full potential.

Chen Yuan wants to transform into a cunning succubus, influencing the entire crew and gaining everyone's trust and affection!

When Metaverse was first established, less than a quarter of the entire "Legend of the Seven Swords" production team were from Metaverse itself.

Moreover, nearly half of them are industry newcomers who have just graduated from film and television schools.

Everyone in the crew knew that Chen Yuan was a genius, extremely talented. He earned a whopping 10 billion yuan from just one film, "Kung Fu Panda," and received numerous awards and government honors. However, very few people had actually interacted directly with Chen Yuan before.

Now, let's work together for a while with this incredibly young billionaire.
Many people only then realized that there was a reason why he could be called a genius and make so much money.

His boundless energy is something that normal people don't have. Besides acting, rehearsing, and managing the crew—a whole host of tasks that would give anyone a headache just by looking at them—he still manages to find time to frequently interact with the lower-level members of the crew.

He's very approachable; if there's anything he doesn't know or understand, he'll just ask directly.

He can use his real kung fu to subdue those arrogant Hong Kong martial arts choreographers, and he can also sit with the extras and fight alongside them while carrying a lunchbox.

Anyone who has met Chen Yuan a few times can feel his enthusiasm for his work and get the impression that although he is young, he is down-to-earth, capable and quite reliable.

In less than a month, Chen Yuan set an example and gained the trust of more than half of the crew.

Although all sorts of trivial and messy things still happen every moment, the "Seven Swords Legend" production team has indeed formed a creative atmosphere with Chen Yuan as the absolute core.

With Chen Yuan's coordination, the teamwork among the various departments was rapidly developed, and the crew's normal shooting efficiency was steadily improving.

But as filming progressed smoothly, Chen Yuan's biggest weakness became apparent: his acting skills were simply not up to par!
He's the main character, with tons of close-up shots. Showing off and being cool is second nature to him; he doesn't need to act.

However, Pan Hong faces numerous crises and challenges throughout the series, as well as many difficult choices that test her conscience. How can acting skills that are even a level below those of idol drama actors be enough?
Chen Hong's reward of ten years of acting experience is imminent, and completing her task is quite complicated.

Her task was to [provide the target audience with a sufficiently compelling film or television role, and to ensure their satisfaction].

Chen Hong is very satisfied with the script for the role of Ni Zhenzhen. The progress bar has increased by nearly half, so all that's left is to let her enjoy the role.

Let's start by filming the undercover mystery episode at Jinbianxi Inn.

The Golden Whip Creek Inn chapter is the most important chapter in the entire series, without exception.

All the groundwork and character development for the Purple Cloud Sword Master, Ni Zhenzhen, is completed in this chapter, which should allow Chen Hong to fully enjoy her role.

In the original filming plan, the Jinbianxi Inn was to be built in the Erlang Mountain Labahe Scenic Area in Ya'an, Sichuan.

This is an ecological haven on the western Sichuan tourism loop, integrating diverse natural landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, colorful forests, streams, and rare flora and fauna. It is beautiful in all four seasons, but is especially beautiful in autumn, in October.

The forests are ablaze with color, with maple, acer, and sweetgum trees weaving together to create a giant palette of red, orange, yellow, and green, a breathtaking sight reminiscent of an oil painting.

To capture these beautiful scenes and promote tourism in Sichuan, the Jinbianxi Inn episode was already prioritized, so there wasn't much that needed adjustment.

Just before the film crew was about to head to the Laba River, a celebrity scandal broke out, causing a media frenzy in China that attracted even more attention than the sensation caused by the legendary Middle Eastern pilot.
