As soon as the film project started, it was extremely busy and complicated.
Xiao Qian also stayed in the company, working with Ning Han, Shen Peiwen and the Yang brothers to complete the crew.
Being so busy, I can only live and eat at the company.
It was noon and I was hungry, so I walked to the company canteen.
After loading a plate full of food, Xiao Qian didn't want to disturb others, so she found a corner where she could eat more relaxedly.
Just after I took a bite of bean sprouts, there was a dinner plate opposite me, and then another figure.
Xiao Qian looked up and found that it was Shen Qing.
"Are you also in the company?"
Shen Qing didn't speak or eat, she just looked at him.
Look hard.
Xiao Qian was grossed out.
"Are you sick?"
He had already thought about it. As long as Shen Qing dared to say, "Do you have medicine?" he would put the rice plate on his head.
Fortunately, Shen Qing was not a time traveler and didn't understand the tricks of later generations. When he lectured her, her eye circles immediately turned red.
The aggrieved look was just like that of a newlywed daughter-in-law who was kicked out.
"What the hell, what do you want to do?"
Xiao Qian was a little nervous and found that there were more and more psychopaths in the company.
Shen Qing resisted the tears from falling and kept them in his eyes. This kind of acting skills is enough for the cutout school to learn for a lifetime.
"Boss, don't you love us anymore?"
Xiao Qian grabbed the table knife easily, and a cold light flashed through the void, full of murderous intent.
"Speak nicely."
This was so incredible that Shen Qing exploded on the spot.
"Why? Why do all the good things go to their film department? Are our TV drama department not human beings?"
Xiao Qian felt dizzy.
"Let me be clear, has the company treated you badly? Aren't you working on "Lavender"? Didn't we have a plan for you?"
Shen Qing was indignant.
"We have so many people in the TV drama department. What can we do with just one drama? Everyone is eagerly waiting for your favor, the boss, but you are so cruel."
Xiao Qian really couldn't stand it anymore.
"I am not the emperor, and you are not the emperor either. Why are you acting like this?"
Shen Qing suddenly came up to him, as if he was threatening her with death.
"As long as you set up a project for us, we have no objection."
Xiao Qian smacked her lips, thought for a while, and realized that just one TV series was not enough.
Starlight Film and Television is divided into several departments, among which the film department is the largest, followed by the TV series department. Not counting other staff, there are dozens of directors and screenwriters alone.
Shen Qing's Lavender crew has transferred a group of people, but there is still a large group of people idle.
But there is another problem there that cannot be ignored.
"Except for you, there is no other director in your TV drama department who can take charge of your role. Even if a project is set up for you, how will you execute it?"
Originally, the film department and the TV series department were not separated, but after Starlight Films entered the film industry, Wang Fei, Ning Han, Shen Peiwen and others were no longer willing to make TV series.
Compared to the film department, which has so many talented people, the TV drama department is a bit underserved.
In addition, Xiao Qian has been busy with big movie projects recently and lacks attention to TV series and has not expanded their team, so everything has come to a standstill.
Listening to him find out the problem, Shen Qing didn't feel any panic.
"Who said we don't have a director who can stand alone? Well, that's right."
He waved towards the distance, and then a figure walked over calmly.
Xiao Qian felt bad when she saw the person coming.
"Uncle Chen, why are you here?"
Without him, Chen Weizhou is the one.
This is the first director that Xiao Qian has collaborated with. Through "Shanghai Bund" and "Tranquility", Xiao Qian and Chen Weizhou have created a miracle of ratings through their perfect combination.
But later, the new leader of Modutai came to power and deliberately alienated the Starlight Group, so the two stopped cooperating.
Later, the two parties reconciled, and Xiao Qian and Chen Weizhou met several times. The relationship remained the same, but the opportunities for cooperation were always worse.
Chen Weizhou hugged him and smiled heartily.
"Of course I'm here to join you."
Xiao Qian was amazed.
"Why would a great director like you come to live in a small temple like mine?"
Chen Weizhou waved his hands and spoke sincerely.
"I came here this time, and I really came to join you. Taiwan has now made reforms and abolished the TV drama shooting department. Directors like me have no place to use them, so they have to make a living on their own."
When he said this, Xiao Qian understood a little bit.
In the future, it will become the mainstream for domestic TV stations to cancel the independent production of film and television dramas, and instead adopt a strategy of purchasing finished products from the market.
The advantage of this is obvious, that is, the TV station does not need to bear the burden of huge film and television production personnel and resources, which can greatly reduce the financial burden.
Anyway, you can buy good movies and TV series from outside, and you can play them right away, so why bother to produce them yourself?
It can be said that such reforms are very necessary for TV stations.
But it was a hardship for people like Chen Weizhou and others, who suddenly lost their iron rice bowl. They had to either transfer to other departments or find their own way out.
Chen Weizhou is not an ordinary director. With "Shanghai Bund" and "Tranquility" under his belt, he is definitely the most top-notch director in China.
Of course, if such a person is allowed to sit in an office, he will not do it, and it will also be a huge waste of talent.
After much deliberation, Chen Weizhou chose to resign.
His destination is firm and only, and that is Starlight Film and Television.
He knows very well where his fame comes from, and he naturally understands how to continue his glory.
Xiao Qian was of course extremely happy to have obtained a general out of thin air.
"Boss, is there no problem this time? Give us a project."
Shen Qing was gearing up and excited.
Although he is inseparable from the new TV series project because of "Lavender", he is still very happy.
After the film department and the TV drama department were separated, he was the oldest person here, and he was also responsible for the daily administrative affairs.
He is young and very motivated.
Seeing Ning Han gradually entering the middle and upper levels of the group, he was unwilling to be left behind.
If the new project that Chen Weizhou is responsible for succeeds, he will definitely get a share of the credit. Everyone in the TV drama department will never forget that he is the one driving all of this.
Facing Chen Weizhou, Xiao Qian began to think about it.
Unlike young people like Shen Qing, Chen Weizhou is already an experienced director. Moreover, he is very good at shooting works with grand themes, which can be taken advantage of.
"Uncle Chen, have you watched the Condor Trilogy?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Weizhou and Shen Qing were both shocked.
"Are you planning to make the Condor Trilogy into a movie?"
Xiao Qian has published quite a few martial arts novels, but the film and television adaptation rights for his previous works have all been bought by others. People in the company have criticized him, feeling that he doesn't take care of his family.
Fortunately, the film and television dramas adapted from those works had average effects, so the family members did not explode.
Now that they heard that Xiao Qian finally planned to adapt his own martial arts works, the two of them were really happy.
"The Condor Trilogy is different from other works. This is a big IP and a project that can create classics. Of course I will make it my own if it is a good thing."
When facing people close to her, Xiao Qian naturally has no need to hide anything.
Thinking of those failed film and television adaptations, Chen Weizhou and Shen Qing finally understood what was going on.
Everyone thought that Xiao Qian was disregarding his own family, but it turned out that he knew very well which works had been adapted and which ones were not.
Chen Weizhou and Shen Qing quickly marked the Condor Trilogy as important in their hearts, and they may never forget it for the rest of their lives.
"Let's start with The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Uncle Chen, after you go back, get the crew together first. I'll contact Hengdian to create a Yuan and Song street scene. Give me a week and I'll come up with the script."
There shouldn't be too many successful adaptations of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the previous life. Xiao Qian had too many references, so the workload was not huge.
As he spoke, he actually already had a choice.
He plans to adapt "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" based on the most classic TVB1983 version.
Although this version is very different from the original work, I have to admit that in terms of the effect of the adaptation, it is the best.
Many people have a misunderstanding that film and television adaptations of literary works must conform to the original works.
In fact, the way literary works present content is very different from that of film and television dramas, and they are not the same at all.
Besides, if the film is completely based on the original work, what else will the audience watch? Why not just read the book?
In the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the classification settings of Iron-Blooded Heart, Ashes of Time, and Huashan Swordsman justly promote the development of the plot, and each has a different focus.
It avoids the shortcomings of facial makeup caused by too many characters when the original work is adapted into a film.
In this version of the TV series, even an ordinary supporting role is impressive, which shows its success.
Even today, Xiao Qian can still remember Ke Zhen E's famous line.
