Chapter 116 The Hibiscus Woman and the Overwhelming Sea (3000
Quancheng, Changqing Film and Television Base
Tongfu Inn shooting location
Yu Entai squatted aside with a look of despair.
Just an hour ago, when Zuo Le asked him how he was reading the ancient books, Yu Entai said very confidently that he had read the "Four Books" by heart and read all the "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Great Learning" and "The Analects of Confucius" with a small number of words.
Memorized it.
"Mencius" has a lot of words and time is tight. He has just memorized half of it, but he should be able to finish it if given another two days.
Zuo Le was very pleased, and then told Yu Entai that the script had been changed. It was useless for him to memorize these ancient books. He only needed to remember one "Zi once said".
“…”
Almost as soon as Zuo Le finished speaking, the smile on Yu Entai's face disappeared, and his whole person became depressed and depressed.
"Yes!"
Seeing Yu Entai's appearance, Zuo Le happily slapped his thigh.
He had the feeling of a sour scholar with unappreciated talents that Lu Xiucai wanted!
After perfunctorily comforting Yu Entai, Zuo Le went to busy directing and setting up the scene, leaving Yu Entai squatting on the ground in a desolate manner, looking desolate.
Calculated based on the latest version of the "Four Books" compiled and published by Hua Guo this year.
The entire "Analects of Confucius" has approximately 12,000 words.
"University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are slightly less, totaling nearly 6,000 words.
"Mencius" has a total of 35,000 words. If you cut out half of it, it would be 18,000 words.
In just seven or eight days, I recited more than 35,000 words of ancient books, all of which were obscure and difficult to pronounce in classical Chinese.
It's a pity that Yu Entai put in so much effort and didn't have very thin hair when he was taking the Ph.D. exam. In the past few days, he has lost thousands of them.
As a result, Zuo Le now said, "The script has been changed." Really, thanks to the fact that China is now a legal society, Yu Entai's temper is considered mild and not so extreme.
Otherwise, tomorrow's headlines will be that a TV director was stabbed multiple times on the set, and the book will be over and done with...
…………
After arranging the staff to set up the scenery and setting up the camera, Zuo Le walked around with his hands behind his back to observe the facilities of the inn. When he came to the backyard of the inn, he saw Mao Xiao, Sha Yi and Jiang Chao gathering together to eat melon seeds and chat.
Zuo Le walked over, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in his hand, blending into the crowd naturally: "What are we talking about? It's so hot."
"Just chatting, we were talking about Sha'er. We think he is a little fat, but he still doesn't admit it."
The three of them and Zuo Le were all old acquaintances and did not see each other. Mao Xiao also motioned to Sha Yi to stand up and let Zuo Le see if he had gained weight.
Zuo Le chewed melon seeds, looked at Sha Yi up and down, nodded and said: "It's a little rounder, Sha'er. I remember when you were filming "The Story of the Cooking Class", you had pretty features, white skin and tender skin. The boy looked so good.
Called handsome, you have to keep it up.
We are making a sitcom, so our image cannot be based on that of a sitcom. I am the boss and I have to be responsible for the company's artists. I cannot let you do whatever you want.
In this way, I will take advantage of this period of time on the set to help your boy lose weight, eat less and exercise more, Mao'er, you will be responsible for supervising him."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Before Sha Yi could speak, Mao Xiao readily agreed. Sha Yi mumbled a few words and finally succumbed to the two men's lust.
Zuo Le looked at Jiang Chao who was happily watching the fun next to him, and frowned: "Jiang'er, you are still a bit thin for your size. Li Dazui is a cook. No, you have to gain weight. Eat more and sleep more."
Keep the fat up."
Jiang Chao is an honest man. After hearing Zuo Le's request, he immediately started thinking about weight gain recipes, which made Sha Yi next to him extremely envious.
After talking about Jiang Chao, Zuo Le looked at Mao Xiao, who played Yan Xiaoliu in "Wulin Gaiden".
The original version of Yan Xiaoliu can be said to be Zuo Le's least favorite protagonist in "Wulin Gaiden". He is simple-minded and ungrateful. He keeps saying that the master is good and the master is short. When it is time to stab him, he is faster than anyone else.
Maybe the screenwriter and director of the original version had plot considerations, or wanted to flesh out the characters of the protagonists, but Zuo Le still hated Yan Xiaoliu in the original version.
So when he wrote the script for "Wulin Gaiden" again, he brought in his own private goods.
Yan Xiaoliu is still simple-minded, but he has changed from stupid and bad in the original version to cute and cute. Some of the "master-disciple rebellion" plots with Lao Xing were deleted if possible. If not, Yan Xiaoliu would find enough excuses to "wash his name"
”.
In short, Zuo Le hopes that Yan Xiaoliu in Zuo Ban will become "cute".
It is also because of this that he let Mao Xiaolai play this role. Mao Xiaolai is born with a baby face and is cute, which can minimize the audience's disgust with Yan Xiaoliu's mindless behavior.
Zuo Le dug up Kongwen and others and promised to support them one by one, and he fulfilled his promise to most of them.
Yan Ni was the second female lead in "Seven Swords" before, and now she is the first female lead in "Wulin Gaiden".
Zhang Jiajia is the third female lead in both dramas.
Although Fan Min is not a second-best actor, he plays a very important role in both dramas at home, and his roles are brilliant.
Sha Yi didn't have many roles in "Seven Swords", but he was the male lead in "Wulin Gaiden".
Although Gao Xinjian and Lin Yongjian did not participate in these two dramas, they were very successful in "Family with Children".
Taken together, although Mao Xiao participated in two dramas, "Seven Swords" and "Wulin Gaiden", his roles were relatively low-key starring roles, which can't be said to be bad, but he was definitely not as good as Zuo Le had originally promised.
However, Mao Xiao did not complain at all about this. He would play whatever role Zuo Le gave him. Since joining Shanhe, he has worked hard and worked hard without complaining.
The more Mao Xiao behaves like this, the more regretful Zuo Le becomes. Therefore, he prefers to let Mao Xiao play the leading role in the new drama "Shan He Xia".
This new drama combines mythology, science fiction, romance, comedy and many other elements. It is very imaginative and Zuo Le likes it very much.
However, he has not yet decided whether to direct this drama himself. There have been too many comedies, and Zuo Le is somewhat boring. He would like to try the taste of a drama, especially a period drama with a Dongshan flavor.
Of course, it's still a little early to say this. Zuo Le's current energy is mainly focused on "Wulin Gaiden".
…………
After chatting with Mao Xiao and Sha Yi for a while, Zuo Le was about to go back to check on the scenery, but Yin Li stopped him halfway.
Facing Zuo Le, a famous director, the little girl was a little shy and timid, but she still mustered up the courage to ask.
"Director, I have a fight scene tomorrow, but I haven't received relevant training and don't know how to shoot a fight scene. I asked Sister Yan Ni and she said let me ask you.
Director Zuo, would you like to find a martial arts instructor to help me with a temporary training session?"
"Fighting scene? Oh, you mean Guo Furong and Bai Zhantang's first fight, right? You don't need a martial arts instructor, just come up with your own moves. Forget it, I'll teach you."
Zuo Le asked Yin Li to keep an eye on him, stretched out his hands and turned around a few times in front of him, made a posture to exert his power, shouted "Mountains and Oceans", and then said to Yin Li.
"That's about it. If you're not satisfied, you can go back and do your own research."
"That's it?"
The little girl looked confused, and after a long time she asked hesitantly: "...Director, let me take the liberty to ask, was it you who shot "Seven Swords"?"
Only then did Zuo Le realize that this girl Qingqing didn't understand what was going on at all. When she saw that "Wulin Gaiden" was a martial arts theme, she thought it was like "Seven Swords" where people were blowing up mountains everywhere.
Little did he know that she, the Lotus Heroine, was actually just a handyman cleaning the floors in the inn...
