8pm.

The hotel where the crew of "The New Legend of Heroes" stayed.

As soon as Cao Jun returned to the room, he received a message from Li Yitong.

The message Li Yitong sent was very simple, just one sentence: "Boss, thank you. I will cherish this hard-won opportunity, play the role of Huang Rong well, and live up to your expectations of me."

Cao Jun was very pleased to see the text message sent by Li Yitong and replied: "Read the script carefully and figure out the role carefully."

After the message was sent, Cao Jun lit a cigarette and started puffing away.

After a while, Li Yitong stopped sending text messages this time. Instead, he sent a voice message: "Boss, I have something I don't understand. Can I ask you for advice?"

Cao Jun smiled and replied: "Okay, if you don't understand anything, you can just tell me on the phone."

After receiving a positive reply from Cao Jun, Li Yitong called directly.

During the phone call with Cao Jun, Li Yitong was also conscientious and talked a lot with Cao Jun about the script adaptation of "The New Legend of the Heroes of the Heroes" and how to play the role of Huang Rong well.

In fact, the adaptation of this drama still deserves recognition.

For example, the story starts from the meeting between Qiu Chuji, Guo Jing's father Guo Xiaotian, and Yang Kang's father Yang Tiexin in Niujia Village. It restores the classic scenes such as Niujia Village and Zuixian Tower in the original work, and at the same time, some unimportant details in the book are restored.

Delete.

Of course, no matter how the screenwriter adapts it, it cannot deviate from the main line of the original work. The original work must be respected. This is an unshakable policy.

Cao Jun also carefully analyzed his views on these issues with Li Yitong from his own perspective.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yitong has never seen other versions of "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" before. Before filming, he wanted to learn from the performances of his predecessors, but later he felt that it was better to directly read the original work to interpret his own version.

Huang Rong.

Cao Jun very much agreed with Li Yitong's approach. On the phone, he said bluntly: "Yitong, you are right to think so. As long as you can perform Mr. Jin Yong's works according to the original works, you will basically be safe!"

Just like that, before they knew it, Cao Jun and Li Yitong were chatting on the phone for more than an hour.

Cao Jun felt that time was almost up and nothing could be said on the phone, so he said to Li Yitong: "Yitong, you have to film tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."

Cao Jun has always been very careful and prudent with women he is not familiar with, and will not rashly seduce each other.

Unless they have been together for a long time and have a certain understanding of each other, Cao Jun will be bolder and have in-depth communication with the other party.

Li Yitong still had some unfinished thoughts. He hesitated for a while and said reluctantly: "Boss, I want to chat with you for a while."

Cao Jun said angrily and funny: "We are still chatting, haven't we been chatting all night? Haven't we talked enough yet?"

Li Yitong on the other end of the phone shyly said "hmm" and said, "Yes, I haven't talked enough yet. I like chatting with you. I think your voice is very magnetic..."

Cao Jun was also happy and asked: "Is it just that the sound is magnetic? Is there no other advantages?"

Li Yitong smiled and replied: "Of course not, you have many advantages."

Cao Jun smiled and asked: "For example, what aspects?"

Li Yitong thought for a while and said: "For example, you are very handsome, very aura, very talented..."

Listening to Li Yitong's praise of him on the phone, Cao Jun was still in a very happy mood.

Although Cao Jun was not sure whether what Li Yitong told him was true, he felt quite comfortable when he heard her speaking in such a sincere tone.

Moreover, as a confident man, Cao Jun prefers that most of what Li Yitong said is true. Even if there are some exaggerations, they can be forgiven and there is no need to be too harsh.

In addition, while chatting with Li Yitong, Cao Jun also became interested, especially considering that she was a dancer and could unlock many difficult poses.

However, after being involved in the entertainment industry for so long, Cao Jun has matured a lot and was not too impulsive. He still held back and did not invite her to his room.

Because in Cao Jun's view, Li Yitong is a contracted artist of his company, and there are still several years of contract to fulfill, so even if he wants to hook her up, there is no need to rush.

In fact, Li Yitong's original intention was not to talk about the script and characters with Cao Jun on the phone. She originally wanted to talk about the script face to face with Cao Jun.

What made Li Yitong dumbfounded was that in the face of her overtures, Cao Jun remained unmoved and just used his cell phone to chat with her about the script all night.

The next day, morning.

As a producer and producer, Cao Jun is still on the crew of "The Legend of the New Heroes", guiding the team's operation and filming.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

Of course, Cao Jun only acted as a producer, putting invisible pressure on all the staff, asking them to cheer up and devote their thoughts and energy to the filming of the drama.

In addition, Cao Jun gave his own opinions and plans to the crew of "The New Legend of Heroes" and did not interfere with the director's directing work in terms of details.

However, Cao Jun also has his own principles, and some things must be done how they should be done.

When Cao Jun was filming "The Legend of the Withered Heroes", he particularly admired the bearded Zhang Jizhong and highly praised his live-action shooting, which really gave people a very realistic feeling.

This time, Cao Jun also insisted on using real scenes for filming "The Legend of the New Hero". In the selection of shooting locations, the drama also referred to the original work as much as possible to realize the journey from the desert to the south of the Yangtze River, from the bustling city to the south of the Yangtze River in Jin Yong's novel.

The restoration of long-span regional descriptions of seclusion.

In order to present a more realistic picture effect, the crew insisted on shooting in real scenes. For the grassland scenes that appeared in the first four episodes, Cao Jun also planned to send the entire crew to the Yellow River Stone Forest area in Gansu for filming.

The Stone Forest area, which combines various resources such as the Yellow River, stone mountains, deserts, grasslands, Gobi, and oasis, is the most suitable to present Jin Yong's regional description in the play.

Regardless of the character's appearance or the shooting location, they are trying to be as close to the content of the novel as possible. Despite the high cost due to the long distance, Cao Jun still adheres to the principle of real scenes and resolutely does not use green screens.

In addition, Cao Jun also required that the proportion of special effects used in the film "The New Legend of the Heroes of the Blighted Heroes" should not exceed 10%, and the cost of special effects should only account for 5% of the total investment.

The special effects used in the play are nothing more than "removing" wires from the actors in the fight scenes, and pure three-dimensional animation is rarely practical.

Putting aside the popularity and reputation of the actors, the casting of "The Legend of the New Heroes" is still somewhat lacking.
