Chapter One Hundred and Twenty One: The Wizard of War, Zuo Zhuge
At the end of January, the finale of "Seven Swords" was broadcast on Japan's nkn TV station. The average ratings of the whole drama were as high as 26%, winning the Japanese ratings championship in January 2019.
When the news spread back to China, it naturally set off another wave on the Internet, and "Seven Swords" was praised to the sky.
Many fans and viewers left messages on Zuo Le's neck and jointly suggested that he hurry up and film the sequel to "Seven Swords".
Zuo Le was noncommittal about this.
"Seven Swords" is so popular that making a sequel is almost like picking up money from the sky. Zuo Le will definitely not miss this opportunity, and he also has a ready-made sequel to the original "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" "Rainbow Cat and Sword"
Travel to the End of the World》
This cartoon appeared in the video player in Zuo Le's mind after the broadcast of "Seven Swords" ended.
After many experiments, Zuo Le has roughly figured out the production model of his new Golden Finger drama.
It should be that he took the film and television dramas in the "film and television player" in his mind to be filmed and produced in real life, and then after the reproduced film and television dramas were played and released in real life and had an impact, the "film and television player" would be unblocked.
Three new plays.
Under normal circumstances, the three new dramas that are newly released are likely to be sequels to those that have appeared before or are closely related.
For example, after "Underground Traffic Station" ended, one of the three new dramas unblocked was "Traffic Station No. 2"; "Seven Swords" unblocked "The Rainbow Cat Walks the World with a Sword"; "The Story of the Cooking Class" was unblocked
The third part of "Wulin Gaiden" and the original "Story of the Cooking Class" directed by the same director.
…………
However, although he had the original sequel of "Seven Swords" ready-made, Zuo Le discovered a very troublesome problem after watching "The Rainbow Cat and the Sword".
Like "Underground Traffic Station", the quality of the sequel to "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" has dropped significantly.
Of course, "Traffic Station No. 2" is a cliff-like decline, while the decline in "The Rainbow Cat and the Sword" is not that serious, but it is not as surprising as the first "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit".
If the first part is a classic, then the second part can only be said to be above the standard, and it can barely be considered a fine product due to its emotional points.
This is also the reason why Zuo Le did not immediately start filming the sequel to "Seven Swords".
He decided to optimize the script of "The Rainbow Cat and the Sword" as much as possible first. Even if it is not as good as "Seven Swords", it cannot ruin the signature of the first part.
In addition, Zuo Le can't spare any time now, and he has already arranged all the schedules for 2019.
The continuous filming and post-production of "Wulin Gaiden" is estimated to be completed in April or May, and then Zuo Le will have to shoot "Story of the Cooking Class 2", which is the third part of the original version.
This had been agreed upon by He Kongwen a long time ago. Zuo Le had no choice but to give him some compensation for Shanhe's poaching, otherwise he would have thought that the dignified Air Force General Art Troupe would be so good-tempered.
Can people really contact the bomber group...
"Story of the Cooking Class 2" is set to have 40 episodes, and it will take 2 to 3 months at the fastest to finish filming. Including post-production, it is estimated that Zuo Leteng will be released in the last few months of the year.
As mentioned before, Zuo Le plans to make a drama for a change, but now he has to wait in the back row. If the sci-fi mythological drama with Mao Xiao as the male protagonist is also directed by Zuo Le, "Seven Swords 2"
It is estimated that it will be released in 2021.
Therefore, what Zuo Le means is that "Seven Swords 2" may not be approved for filming in the short term, and even if it is approved, it is very likely that he will not direct it himself.
Zuo Le is no longer the new director who established himself by making the sequel to "Underground Traffic Station".
Nowadays, he is not short of money or good scripts, so Zuo Le does not want to repeat filming sequels and limit himself to a certain drama.
Otherwise, he would not have promoted Gao Xinjian to be in charge of "Family with Children". If it had not been for the appointment with Kong Wen, Zuo Le would not have directed "The Story of the Cooking Class 2" himself.
He wants to try to make some new themes that he has never tried before, such as war dramas, historical/period dramas, detective dramas, suspense crime dramas, youth romance dramas, and even... movies!
…………
This year's Spring Festival is on February 5th. After entering February, the cast and staff of "Wulin Gaiden" gradually stopped focusing on filming.
Seeing this, Zuo Le simply took an 8-day holiday in advance, waiting for everyone to celebrate the New Year, and turn on the phone on time on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
This considerate move won unanimous support from the cast and crew, and a group of people gathered around Zuo Le and praised him to the sky.
Zuo Le was too lazy to deal with these flatterers and asked the assistant director to deal with the aftermath. He drove away from Changqing Film and Television Base and returned to Zhaoshi, planning to bring his parents and little sister to Quancheng for the New Year.
Not long ago, the copyright for the second part of "Family with Children" was sold to Dongshan Taihe Coin Station. Zuo Le made a lot of money and simply spent more than 30 million to buy a villa in Quancheng.
This time I brought my family to Quancheng to celebrate the New Year. Firstly, it was for the whole family to reunite, and secondly, it was also to celebrate the move to a new home, so that the two elders could come and recognize me. It is impossible for my son to buy a new house and his parents not even know where it is.
In the past, Qingwan Community was just that. Zuo Le just used it as a temporary residence. It didn't matter whether his parents knew the location or not.
This time, Zuo Le bought the villa after careful selection and consultation with Tian Yan. It will be Zuo Le's future "home" in Quancheng.
Parents must come and take a look at their son’s home!
In addition, there is another reason: Zuo Le is 28 this year, and Tian Yan is 26 after her birthday in June.
Although the two are not in a hurry to get married, they feel that their relationship with each other is stable and they want to discuss each other's parents to take the relationship a step further.
Originally, Tian Yan planned to follow Zuo Le back to Zhaocheng to celebrate the New Year, and then take Zuo Le to the capital to visit his parents after the New Year.
But Zuo Le felt that if the two of them came to interview separately, they would probably have to face cross-examination by various aunts and uncles of the other party. Being outnumbered and outnumbered, the initiative would be lost, which is not the way to win.
So after discussing with Tian Yan, he played a trick. Instead of visiting each other separately, he invited both parents to go to Quancheng to celebrate the New Year together.
At that time, the young couple would be at the "home court", and since it was the Spring Festival, the old people were in a good mood, and they suddenly had the right time and place.
Moreover, the number of "enemies" has also changed from countless relatives and friends to only two parents-in-law (father-in-law and mother-in-law), and the pressure has dropped sharply.
Well, Tian Yan also wants to add a sister-in-law, but this one is easy to deal with, just throw money at her.
After Zuo Le came up with this idea, he couldn't help but admire himself.
A genius in the art of war!
Tune the tiger away from the mountain and turn against the guests.
Concealing the truth and crossing the sea, making a sound in the east and attacking in the west.
Combine vertically and horizontally, make connections at a distance and attack at a close distance.
Fishing in troubled waters, oh uh uh uh.
If he had been born 1,800 years earlier, Zhuge Liang would not have had much trouble with the title "Wise as a Demon"...
ps: After the advice of several book friends, I changed the previous Japanese ratings data of "Seven Swords".
This chapter has 2,000 words, and the next chapter has 4,000 words. It will be posted tomorrow morning.
