In 2002, Starlight's TV series production plan hit a new high, reaching four TV series a year.
Not only has the number increased, but the types have also begun to enrich.
There are four TV series, "The Swordsman" is a martial arts drama, "The Young King" is a science fiction drama, "Li Wei is an Official" is a drama, and "Jade Guanyin" is a criminal investigation urban drama.
There is no conflict in the genres of the four dramas, and the production cycles are different, so naturally they all have a good ending.
Because of Zhang Dabeard's fame and connections, "Swordsman" was once again won by CCTV.
Judging from the posture, CCTV seems to be planning to cover all of Xiao Qian's martial arts works.
The theme of "Young King" is even more popular with Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV. This rising star in the provincial satellite TV has now begun to invest heavily in it.
As expected, "Li Wei Becomes an Official" fell into the hands of Jingcheng TV.
There is no one who likes to joke about history more than the people at the foot of the Imperial City.
"Jade Guanyin" makes Xiangnan Satellite TV very entangled.
In terms of genre, this is actually not the genre that Xiangnan Satellite TV likes. Tang Xiao is more looking forward to the "Meteor Garden" that has been brewing.
But "Meteor Garden" hasn't even started pre-production. It would be good to be able to shoot early next year.
Having no choice, in order to avoid running out of good dramas to broadcast, Xiangnan Satellite TV finally accepted "Jade Guanyin".
At this point, all four TV series run by Xiao Qian have been planned.
Looking back, he began to make plans for the movie.
The preparation for "The Dragon of the Way of the Sea Returns to the Sea" will take about three to five months, so Xiao Qian doesn't need to worry about it for the time being.
"The preparations here are almost complete. I searched for suitable shooting locations from north to south, and I think Xiamen is the most suitable."
Ning Han came over to report on the preparations for "Crazy Racing".
Compared with "Crazy Stone", the production cost this time has skyrocketed, approaching the 100 million yuan mark.
After the success of "Crazy Stone", the outside world's expectations have been through the roof. In order to ensure the quality of the movie, the company had to increase investment.
Xiao Qian was still relieved about him and just gave him a few words.
"While you pay attention to the plot, you should also pay attention to the use of lenses. Xiamen is a picturesque city. If it is filmed well, it can play a very good role in promoting local tourism."
Among the cities on the southeastern coast, Xiamen is definitely second to none in terms of landscape. It is really rare to see such a perfect integration of city and nature.
Especially the beauty of Gulangyu Island will be unforgettable to anyone who has been there.
The original version of "Crazy Racing" basically only focused on the plot and story, and the additional scenery and humanities were ignored.
Xiao Qian asked Ning Han to join them, which can not only promote the local area, but also attract more cooperation in the future.
Ning Han understood the idea and re-conceived the script.
The second person to come was Lu Chuan.
Xiao Qian was originally going to arrange work for him, but Lu Chuan spoke first.
"Mr. Xiao, I wrote a notebook during this period. Can you... help me take a look at it?"
"Oh? Did you bring it?"
Xiao Qian was not unhappy, but directly asked for the script.
Although he is a reborn person, Starlight attaches great importance to creation and gives everyone opportunities.
Lu Chuan was so excited that he quickly handed over the script.
Xiao Qian took the script and was stunned when he saw the title. Looking at the much rougher Lu Chuan opposite him, he couldn't help but sigh at the magic of fate.
After going round and round, the man returned to his original place.
"Kekexili", the four big characters are very eye-catching.
This is a legendary movie that plays a very important role in the history of Chinese films.
"What did the creative department say?"
Xiao Qian read through it and asked again and again.
If you handed the script to Xiao Qian without going through the creative department, you would be punished. Xiao Qian believed that Lu Chuan would not make such a mistake.
Hearing his inquiry, Lu Chuan was a little distressed and tried hard to fight for it.
"The creative department reviewed it for a long time, and they were very dissatisfied with three points. First, they said that there is no quicksand in Hoh Xil, and my plot setting ignored the facts; second, they said that Hoh Xil is not a desertified area. In my creation,
It worsened the local danger; thirdly, they said that Hoh Xil was not a no-man’s land and I couldn’t mess around when I was creating.”
Lu Chuan's reaction made Xiao Qian frown.
When he watched "Kekexili" in his previous life, the shock it gave him is still unforgettable. It is obviously a very good movie, how could it have so many problems?
Fortunately, he was not a judgmental person and did not jump to conclusions on the spot. Instead, he called Kang Zheng from the creative department who was responsible for reviewing the script.
Kang Zheng is in his early thirties and has just entered the industry. He is eager to start a career and is very serious about his work.
"Director Lu stated that he wanted to create a film with a documentary aesthetic style, so when we reviewed it, we paid great attention to the documentary aspect. In order to avoid omissions, we specially sent a three-person team to go to Hoh Xil in person.
trip."
"hiss……"
Xiao Qian and Lu Chuan gasped together, looking at Kang Zheng in disbelief as he was as normal as usual.
The altitude of Hoh Xil can be over 3,800 meters, and altitude sickness is very strong, making it difficult for most people to go there.
In order to verify the facts of the script, the creative department actually made a trip in person.
Kang Zheng didn't care about Xiao Qian and Lu Chuan's shock and stated their opinions plainly.
"After our people went there, they checked a lot of relevant information and visited the local area. Only then did they realize that some of the settings in Director Lu's script were seriously contrary to the facts. For example, the load-bearing capacity of the desert is very strong, which is completely different from that of the swamp.
And Hoh Xil is a permafrost area, there is no quicksand at all.”
Lu Chuan's face turned green and red, which was really wonderful.
"I...I am not creating art."
There was no need for Kang to argue, so Xiao Qian taught him a lesson.
"You said you wanted to create a film with documentary aesthetics, but you ended up adding seasonings to it. Have you ever thought about how the outside world will view such a plot after it is broadcast?"
Lu Chuan hesitated for a long time and finally stopped talking.
With Xiao Qian's support, Kang Zheng was able to speak freely.
"Also, Hoh Xil is not a desert at all. It is the place with the densest lakes in China. Director Lu's camera settings are full of descriptions of desertification, which will convey seriously wrong common sense to the outside world."
Lu Chuan became anxious again and defended himself.
"What I want to create is an aesthetic style with brutal realism. If I don't shoot it this way, it will violate the overall creative intention."
Xiao Qian waved her hand to signal him to quiet down.
"Who told you that gray-cool lenses must be the best way to experience cruelty? Sometimes, the more vivid the color, the more shocking the cruelty it brings."
Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, deeply shocked.
His own professionalism is very high, but when it comes to literary and artistic creation, it is easy for the person involved to go astray. Regarding the matching of colors and styles, Lu Chuan certainly understands it very well.
It's just that when he was writing the script, his mind was in a very mysterious state and had no room for other voices and ideas.
Now that Xiao Qian had pierced the window paper, Lu Chuan suddenly realized that he had gotten into trouble.
The third problem mentioned by Kang Zheng is also serious.
Hoh Xil is not a no-man's land as in the legend. Not only are there gold diggers and people fishing for Artemia, but there are also herdsmen grazing there.
"We all agree that Director Lu's script is too deviated from reality in order to create a hero and establish a typical needs. But the script is indeed very good, so I proposed that Director Lu ask you for advice."
After a while, Xiao Qian had finished reading the script and found many problems.
"In addition to the three points mentioned by Kang Zheng that are contrary to the facts, your implementation of style is also not perfect. You want to shoot in a sophisticated documentary style, which is good. But since you have chosen this style,
Then implement it to the end. In addition, the content of sky burial has nothing to do with the main theme of the film, why should it be added? If you correct these problems, your script will become a classic."
Lu Chuan suddenly raised his head, his expression full of surprise.
"Mr. Xiao, are you saying...that my script can be filmed?"
Xiao Qian was angry and laughed at the same time.
"Did anyone say it couldn't be filmed? What Kang and I did was just point out the shortcomings in the script. Did anyone say that this script was not good? In fact, this script is not only good, but also very good. You can pay attention to this
Social issues, showing such a broad mind proves that you have the potential to become a great director."
"Hehehe, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. I... I just want to make a good movie."
Lu Chuan blushed at the praise and kept rubbing his hands.
"Go ahead, discuss it carefully with the screenwriting department when you get back, correct the problematic areas, and then resubmit it for review. This film company will fully support you, giving you money and people when you need it."
Having said this, Xiao Qian decided to give Lu Chuan a big compliment.
"In addition, after the movie is released, all the income from box office, DVD, copyright, etc. will be used as a public welfare fund to help the ecological environment construction of Hoh Xil."
