CCTV, no matter what time, CCTV is the father, especially these days when satellite TV has not yet risen, CCTV is a dominant player in various fields. It produces TV series every year, from the previous "Wasted Years", "Beijingers in New York"
"This kind of modern theme, "A Dream of Red Mansions", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", the four famous series, as well as the TV series such as "Hand in Hand" and "Big Snow without Trace" in the past two years, no matter in terms of quality
, influence, and ratings are second to none.
He Xin couldn't wait to take the script from Sister Hong. The name on the cover was "The World Has No End".
Look, this name looks very literary and elegant!
Next to the title of the play is printed the director: Yang Yang, and there are five screenwriters in a long line.
Then there is a line of small words at the bottom: CCTV TV Drama Production Center.
Li Xiaoran, who had just sat down to read the script, heard He Xin calling out the CCTV drama. He immediately jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the script from He Xin's hand and said, "Let me take a look."
When she saw clearly what was on the cover, she immediately widened her eyes and said, "Wow, it's really a CCTV drama!"
Then he immediately said to Chang Jihong with a flattering look on his face: "Sister Hong, is there any role suitable for me here?"
"No, this is a man's drama! Even if there are a few female characters in it, they don't have many roles, and they are all Japanese. Director Yang is planning to hire Japanese actors to star."
Li Xiaoran was disappointed and immediately asked: "So it's still a Sino-Japanese co-production?"
"It's not a co-production, it's just Japanese actors. According to Director Yang, many scenes have to be shot in Japan."
Li Xiaoran felt even more itchy after hearing this. He took Chang Jihong's hand, pouted and said coquettishly: "Sister Hong, don't always be so partial! When will you help me pick up a CCTV drama?"
Sister Hong glanced at the sisters and said angrily: "You? If you ever make progress like Xiao He and become a movie queen, I will help you get it."
"Ah? Sister Hong..."
He Xin didn't care what the two women were talking about. He snatched his script back from Li Xiaoran and eagerly opened it and read it.
"The World Has No End", the name seems very literary, but the content in the outline is very cruel. This is a story about a group of Chinese prisoners of war who were captured to build a military base on Kuratsu Island, Japan, at the end of World War II.
and the true story of workers who could not bear the humiliation and rose up to defend their dignity.
Obviously this is a TV series with a main theme.
Fortunately, the subject matter is very novel, unlike later generations, which are filled with various anti-Japanese dramas as long as they involve this period of history.
I read the outline briefly and turned to the first page of the text.
present tense:
2002, Beijing.
Sayuri Aoyama, a Japanese girl who makes DV for a living, accidentally broke into a courtyard...
The script is divided into two parts: present tense and past tense. Sayuri Qingshan accidentally breaks into a courtyard and meets the Chinese young man Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi's grandfather Xiao Hansheng then recalls a story 60 years ago that was extremely strange and cruel to today's young people.
.
Sayuri heard the true story of what happened on Kuratsu Island, and she was deeply touched and interested. So, together with Xiao Yi, in order to fulfill the wish of Xiao Hansheng, who was seriously ill and blind, they decided to go to Japan to find the buried evidence.
Obviously, the past tense constitutes the main content of the play, and the present tense is only interspersed with the period, reflecting the modern Communist Party's concealment of history, as well as the pain and regret of the past by the Japanese who experienced that era.
In the past tense, the Chinese prisoners of war and workers who were enslaved on Cangjin Island were representatively divided into the Kuomintang prisoners of war headed by Zhou Shangwen; the Eighth Route Army prisoners of war headed by Xiao Hansheng; and ordinary workers centered on Liu Jiazheng.
The content of the script does not have the strong preaching flavor of the anti-Japanese war dramas of the past; nor does it have the exaggerated plot of later anti-Japanese dramas, in which only I am the great and righteous person, invincible in the world, and the rest are stupid and scumbag.
The characters in it, whether they are the Japanese army, the Kuomintang or the Eighth Route Army, are filled with rich emotional expressions, which are relatively objective and real.
He Xin immediately looked in. Li Xiaoran and Sister Hong were chattering in the room, but they couldn't disturb him at all. Until Li Xiaoran came over, kicked him and yelled: "Hey, stop working hard, let's eat."
He then raised his head and saw the girl at the front desk walking in with a big bag filled with packing boxes.
The lunch box was placed on the coffee table in the center of the sofa. I watched the lids open one by one, and the aroma was fragrant. There were braised pork ribs, steamed fish, fried tofu and soybean sprouts, cauliflower slices, and a box full of dumplings.
"Brother Xin, this is yours." The girl in front handed him the last lunch box.
"What's delicious?" Li Xiaoran came over curiously.
When I opened it, I saw it was full of green. I immediately looked disgusted and said, "Hey! Are you losing weight?"
Sister Hong said smoothly while dividing her chopsticks: "You haven't seen him look like half a month ago. He is a whole lot fatter than he is now. He needs to lose at least ten pounds now."
When Li Xiaoran heard this, he immediately trembled, patted He Xin on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Young man, you really work hard!"
Sister Hong glanced at her and then added: "How else can I win the Best Actor Award and get the CCTV script?"
"Well……"
The shining white sisters were immediately defeated, sat down, picked up a piece of ribs and stuffed it into their mouths without saying a word.
Seeing He Xin carrying a bowl of vegetable salad, like a sheep grazing, Sister Hong couldn't bear it. She moved the plate of steamed fish that Li Xiaoran was poking at with his chopsticks in front of him and said, "You can also eat some fish. It's okay to eat some fish."
, add some nutrition.”
"fine!"
He shook his head. Losing weight was a great exercise for one's will. He was afraid that he would not be able to stop once he moved his chopsticks. He still pushed the lunch box in front of Li Xiaoran, who was pouting with a dissatisfied look on his face, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoran, you
eat."
It is said that these girls just play games all day long, have no rules in life, are lazy, don't like to exercise, and are very good at eating, but they still maintain a good figure. It is really a magical thing.
"How do you like the script?" Sister Hong asked again while eating dumplings.
He Xin swallowed with difficulty the tasteless cabbage leaves that he had been chewing for a long time and said: "It's very good!"
As the leading platform in China, CCTV naturally has its own strong character. For example, this drama has as many as five screenwriters, and all of them are famous domestic screenwriters.
In fact, it's a bit better now. If we look back more than ten years ago, when the Four Great Classics were being filmed, it would often take the entire country to film a TV series. The actors and behind-the-scenes were all selected from across the country. And all the actors were selected from across the country.
Regardless of money, being selected by CCTV is a great honor.
When "Three Kingdoms" was being filmed, an actor named Hong Yuyu was hailed as "National Hero Hong Yuyu" because he was selected to play the role of Zhou Yu.
Of course, He Xin was very willing to take on this drama. Apart from appearing on CCTV and improving his personal skills, this script also really attracted him.
"Then which role do you want to play?"
Sister Hong added without waiting for his answer: "Yang Yang is the director of this drama, but she does not have the final say on the role alone. There are also various factors. You have to think about it, and I will discuss it with her."
He Xin nodded, but still said without hesitation: "I miss Xiao Hansheng when he was young."
As a company commander of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of our party and the only survivor of Cangjin Island, Xiao Hansheng is naturally the leading actor in this drama.
He originally thought this was a smooth process. Since joining the industry, he has never played any role other than the male lead. Even "Jade Guanyin" was a drama with two male protagonists.
Wei Chengxiang Hongjie hesitated. She had obviously read the script a long time ago and said thoughtfully: "I heard what Director Yang meant, as if Xiao Hansheng and Xiao Yi wanted to be played by the same actor when they were young, but Xiao Yi can speak
Fluent Japanese, you see..."
This situation was unexpected for him, but he hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said: "No problem, I can learn!"
"But is there enough time? Although the filming date of this drama has not been finalized yet, it will definitely start filming in the second half of the year." Sister Hong said suspiciously.
She thought for a moment, then said with a queasy look on her face: "Actually, at first I thought the role of Zhou Shangwen was quite suitable for you. Although Director Yang didn't say it, I think she was looking for you for the role of Zhou Shangwen."
"Then you still let me choose?" He Xin put down the lunch box in his hand and said depressedly.
"Isn't there a Liu Jiazheng character here? What if you like this?" Sister Hong rolled her eyes, but luckily she didn't say "You have unique taste!"
However, as an agent, she still thought about it and said: "Then you go to Shanghai later. I will help you make an appointment with Director Yang later and try to win over it. But you have to promise to learn Japanese well by then!"
He Xin wanted to go to Shanghai in advance, mainly to visit his girlfriend. The role was important at the moment, and it was also a CCTV drama. There was nothing to consider, so he nodded directly and said: "Okay!"
As for learning Japanese, he mused: "I thought of Shanghai and asked the crew to help find a personal trainer. In addition, there are Japanese actors on the crew. I will communicate more with them. With this environment, I think it should be no problem."
"
"As long as you are sure, otherwise I won't be able to explain it when the time comes."
After Sister Hong finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and prepared to continue eating. But when she looked at the coffee table, she saw that only the head and tail of the steamed fish were left, the ribs were on the disc, three dumplings were left in the large box, and the soybean sprouts were fried with small oil tofu.
It didn't move much, but all the meat slices in the cauliflower fried pork slices were picked out.
Looking to the side, I saw that the person who had just put down her chopsticks was wiping her glossy mouth with a napkin!
"I said, Auntie, how can you eat so well?" Sister Hong held up a pair of chopsticks and said angrily and funny.
"You called so urgently this morning. I came here right after I got up from bed. I didn't even eat breakfast..." Li Xiaoran was beeping heartlessly at the moment. It wasn't until he saw the chopsticks in Sister Hong's hand that he realized
He came over and apologized hurriedly: "Sister Hong, I'm so sorry, I forgot that you haven't eaten yet? I'll ask my little sister to help you order something more."
As he said that, he put on his sandals and stood up.
"Forget it."
Sister Hong waved the chopsticks in her hand and said with a wry smile: "Finally, you still have three dumplings left. You can barely make them. Just try to lose weight!"
