While Zuo Le was filming the real and fake Ziyun Sword in Jinbian River, far away in the capital, Kong Wen also held the opening ceremony of "The Story of the Health Team".
Because "The Story of the Health Team" is billed as a companion piece to "The Story of the Cooking Team", coupled with the recent craze for sitcoms in the film and television industry, many media are very interested in this TV series. On the day it was launched, Hula La is coming
A lot.
As one of the co-directors, Gao Xinjian has become the center of attention among reporters thanks to the popularity of Xia Donghai, the recently concluded drama "Family with Children".
Reporter A: "Director Gao, may I ask why Director Zuo is not directing this time? Are you not optimistic about this new drama?"
Gao: "Not at all. The main reason is that Director Zuo is busy filming "Seven Swords" and really can't spare time. However, he is very concerned about "The Story of the Health Team". We even talked on the phone yesterday and agreed to wait for him for a while.
I took time to come over and visit the class.
Reporter B: "As far as we know, this is Director Gao's first time as a director. Do you think you can successfully film "The Story of the Health Team"?"
Gao: "It's like this. Maybe journalist friends are not very clear. I have been studying with Director Zuo for the past two years. I was the deputy director of "Story of the Cooking Class" and the executive director of "Family with Children".
It can be said that I have accumulated a lot of directing experience with Director Zuo, otherwise Director Zuo and the leadership of Kong Wen would not have let me participate in the directing of "The Story of the Health Team"."
Reporter C: ""Story of the Cooking Class" was so successful, so you must be feeling a lot of pressure when filming its companion piece. Have you ever thought about what you would do if you failed?"
Gao: "... Of course there is pressure, but I believe pressure is also motivation. We try our best to do our best, and leave the rest to the audience to test."
"..."
The reporters asked very tricky questions, and they seemed to look down on Gao Xinjian, a new director.
Gao Xinjian had a smile on his face, and he felt mmp in his heart, but he was also very emotional at the same time.
Now that it is just a companion piece to "Story of the Cooking Class", the reporter is already full of doubts. If he knew that he would most likely direct the second part of "Family with Children", he would not be able to eat him alive.
Gao Xinjian felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know that Xue Jun, the other co-director next to him, was almost envious of him.
Although some of the reporters came with bad intentions, Gao Xinjian's popularity was not there anyway. A large group of reporters gathered around to ask questions, but Xue Jun had been standing here for half an hour, and no one paid any attention to him.
Those who knew him were one of the two directors, but those who didn't know probably thought he was the handyman behind Gao Xinjian.
……………
After Gao Xinjian finished dealing with the reporters and sent these uncrowned kings away, he turned around and saw Xue Jun looking at him sourly. Gao Xinjian was happy.
"What's up, Lao Xue, his eyes are glowing green."
Xue Jun is Kong Wen's director, and Gao Xinjian has been an acquaintance with him for many years, so we talk very casually.
"You've really got your act together now. Your attitude is almost the same as those of famous directors." Xue Jun said with a hint of envy.
"Are you jealous?"
Gao Xinjian laughed proudly: "Do a good job, the show is finished, and you are also a famous director."
Xue Jun did not comment, but asked: "My ex-son heard from the team leader that after this film is finished, you are going to film the second part of "Family with Children"?"
"It's almost the same. Director Zuo has already talked with me. Now Lao Shang and the others are working on the script. If everything goes well, filming will start in July or August."
This matter is not a secret. Many people know it, and Gao Xinjian did not hide it from Xue Jun.
"This is a TV series with a ratings of over 2. Zuo Le won't watch the second one personally, but he said he would give it to you if he gave it to you?" Xue Jun was a little surprised.
"Is this surprising? Director Zuo is a director, but he is also the owner of a film and television company. Have you ever seen a large film and television company with only one director filming? That's the right thing to do.
Moreover, according to Director Zuo’s wishes, the plot setting of "Family with Children" is to follow the path of a full-length series. It is impossible for him to confine himself to this drama, so is it difficult to understand that the director should be changed for the sequel?"
After listening to Gao Xinjian's explanation, Xue Jun nodded thoughtfully and lowered his head as if thinking about something. Gao Xinjian ignored him and called the actors to film.
…………
As a companion piece, "The Story of the Health Team" has the same background as "The Story of the Cooking Team", which is still an air force station, but the perspective is changed from the field service company's cooking class to the station health team.
According to the script, the health team consists of seven people, the captain, two doctors, the head nurse and three nurses. The captain and one of the doctors are male, and the rest are all female characters.
The captain is played by Gao Xinjian. He carries Xia Donghai's enthusiasm, so there is no need to use it in vain. The rest of the characters, except for the trio of nurses in "The Story of the Cooking Class", are all made by newcomers Kong Wen.
However, since Nurse Yan and Xiao Zhang still had to film "Seven Swords", their roles were not very large, and they spent a lot of time "going out to study" and "doing rounds."
Therefore, currently only one nurse Liu Meng is left in the trio to take the leading role.
In addition, there are also characters from "The Story of the Cooking Class", including the chief secretary, first squad leader, company commander, clerk, and the entire cooking class, who will take turns making guest appearances.
The joint guest appearance of these two dramas is also one of the biggest highlights of "The Story of the Health Team".
Although there are many newcomers starring in "The Story of the Health Team" this time, the quality of Kongwen's actors is at stake here.
Gao Xinjian took photos for a few days and found a good idea in it.
Yin Li plays the role of Xiao Yin, a new nurse who has just joined the army. Kong Wen is a new actor who has just been recruited from military arts. The little girl does not look very beautiful at first glance, but if you observe her carefully, you will see that over time
, the more you look at it, the more comfortable you feel.
In addition to her good looks, what Gao Xinjian valued more was that this little girl was very talented in acting, especially her explosive power.
In the play, Yin Li's character was upset because she was not suitable for work. The health team took turns trying to persuade her. As a result, the little girl fell into the role while acting. She cried when she wanted to and laughed when she talked. Several actors who were supporting the role at that time could not accept it at all.
Can't live.
Yin Li became famous on the set, and everyone looked at this young girl who had just graduated with special eyes.
As the deputy leader of the [Hoe] team, Gao Xinjian couldn't control his sense of mission when he saw such a piece of rough jade. He reported his findings to his leader Zuo Le and also sent Zuo Le a copy of Yin Li's work at the time.
A video that bursts out and dominates the audience.
After Zuo Le watched the video, he immediately called Gao Xinjian. Such a good seedling must not be left empty-handed.
dig!
Deputy team leader Gao received the order and immediately took action, but Yin Li didn't pay much attention to him. She thought Kongwen was very good and didn't want to leave.
Gao Xinjian was frustrated in the first battle, but he was not discouraged. When he had time, he ran to Yin Li and dug a hoe twice. In the end, it had little effect on Yin Li, but somehow he persuaded Xue Jun.
On May 10, Zuo Le, who had moved to Huangshan to film the Jade Toad Palace scene, received a call from Xue Jun.
