It was noon and the weather was too hot to shoot, so Zuo Le simply announced a pause, and the cast and crew scattered to find places to cool off. He and executive director Xue Jun ran to the actors' lounge to blow up the air conditioner.
Yes, Xue Jun, who originally went from Kongwen to Shanhe to work as a screenwriter, after experiencing script writing for the two TV series "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Story of the Cooking Class 2", was favored by Zuo Le because of his good performance.
Knowing that Xue Jun wanted to be a director, Zuo Le transferred him from the screenwriting department to his staff and became an executive director on the crew of "The Story of the Cooking Class 2".
Zuo Le's intention was obvious, he wanted to test Xue Jun's directing ability.
If it's acceptable, he still has a few low-budget sitcoms on hand that he can try.
If it doesn't work, then I'm sorry, Xue Jun either goes back and continues to be a screenwriter, or he leaves Shanhe.
Xue Jun also knew that this was his opportunity to rise to the top. He worked hard on the crew and worked hard, hoping to impress Zuo Le and pick up the guide tube again...
When Zuo Le and Zuo Le arrived at the green room, several actors were gathering together to watch tablets.
Zuo Le stretched his head and took a look. It was "Wulin Gaiden". The episode seemed to be the one that was just aired yesterday. He couldn't help but laugh.
"You guys are free to follow the dramas you filmed."
Sha Yi, the owner of the tablet, raised his head and saw that it was Zuo Le. He replied: "It's quite interesting to watch it with the barrage, just like teaching Lao Qian to dance. The barrage posted by netizens is really fun."
Mao Xiaoye added: "It was just broadcast yesterday. There was a ghost on the currency website. It was Lao Bai dancing, and then it was matched with other music, and then edited and repeated. It was very magical.
Some netizens nicknamed Lao Bai Bai Zhantang, who is good at singing and dancing."
"This group of troll netizens know how to tinker with everything."
Zuo Le complained, then looked at the scene on the screen of Lao Qian learning martial arts and eating chicken crazily, and then looked at Hong Tao next to him: "I remember that Brother Hong finished filming this scene. Is there any scene left for you?"
Hong Tao nodded: "After this, Lao Qian will be gone."
Zhou Binbin watched this episode at home last night and knew the following plot. He couldn't help but marveled when he heard this: "Why did Li Dazui say that Mrs. Qian beat shopkeeper Qian severely and put him in solitary confinement? He emphasized that Lao Qian will never get out of the house in this life."
Here we are, the relationship is finalized."
"Lao Qian was severely beaten by his wife and then stopped appearing. Thinking about it afterwards, it's really scary to think about it." Jiang Chao added.
"It's not just this paragraph that makes me think deeply. I saw a joke on a scarf yesterday.
It is said that Li Dazui is illiterate. If when recruiting a cook, it was not Xiaobei who went out and shouted, but Xiucai wrote the recruitment notice, I guess there would be no problem without Dazui."
Fan Min said with a smile, as his career and fame are rising, his previously awkward personality has become more and more cheerful, especially in front of the old acquaintances in the cooking class, he is very lively and different from usual.
Zuo Le laughed when he heard Fan Min and Jiang Chao talking about the horrifying details in "Wulin Gaiden".
"Actually, what really scares me is the background of everyone in Tongfu Inn. Guo Furong is the daughter of the eldest son of the Six Gates, and now she is the son of a high-ranking official; Lu Xiucai was a provincial and departmental leader in his ancestors, and he is a scholar himself, and now he is better than a civil servant.
Still valuable.
Bai Zhantang's mother, Bai Sanniang, is a high-ranking official spy of the imperial court. Now she is considered the leader of the Anguo Bureau. He is also a gangster himself.
Da Zui Niang is the former God of Gamblers, and her uncle is the county magistrate; Shopkeeper Tong's family is a well-known local enterprise, with a big business; Xiao Bei inherited a time-honored society, and although its strength is weak, its brand is still there.
In comparison, Wushuang, Lao Xing and Xiaoliu were the worst off, but they were all public servants and were grassroots security managers. Xiaoliu was promoted to the capital in the end.
You taste, you——>>
Let’s take a closer look and see if this little inn is a hidden dragon or a crouching tiger.”
In terms of understanding of "Wulin Gaiden", Zuo Le dares to claim to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first.
It’s not because he is a screenwriter and director. Lu Xun, the great writer, doesn’t know his own article as well as the teacher who wrote the test papers. Zuo Le, a director, can’t compare to all kinds of imaginative netizens and audiences.
However, "Wulin Gaiden" has not yet finished airing, and Zuo Le still has a certain advantage. Regarding plot explanations, his official version shall prevail.
But after the finale of "Wulin Gaiden" was aired, some brainiacs knew the entire plot and began various analysis and excavations. Zuo Le was able to retain the title of the one who knows the most about "Wulin Gaiden".
After all, ordinary audiences are generally on the first level, ordinary directors and screenwriters are on the second level, and Zuo Le can barely make it to the third level with the blessing of the original version.
However, those netizens are different. They start at the fifth level, and if they are awesome, they can work directly to the tenth level or above.
Zuo Le, who builds small low-rise buildings, how can he compare with others who build skyscrapers...
………
The few people chatted happily, and Xue Jun also asked: "Director Zuo, now that "Wulin Gaiden" is so popular, does the company have any plans for a sequel?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Zuo Le. Since Zuo Le's debut, most of the TV series he has filmed have sequels.
There are two parts of the traffic stop duology, "Family with Children", and the third part will start shooting soon. "Story of the Cooking Class 2" is currently being filmed.
Although there is no sequel to "Seven Swords", most of the people present are from Shanhe. They have heard that Shanhe's screenwriting department is working on the script of "Seven Swords 2", and it is estimated that the project is likely to be approved next year.
"Wulin Gaiden" is so popular now, everyone thinks it is normal to make a sequel, but what is unexpected is that Zuo Le shook his head.
""Wulin Gaiden" will not have a sequel."
"Why? This is a drama with a rating of 4, and it may even reach 5. For such a popular drama, if you make a sequel and rest on your laurels, you can easily get good results of 2 or 3. Why not make it?"
"It's because "Wulin Gaiden" is so popular."
Zuo Le spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "It's so popular that I don't dare to shoot it for fear of ruining my brand. I might as well just make a movie like this, stand at the pinnacle of sitcoms, and keep everyone's memories in the best moments."
This is Zuo Le's true thoughts. Although he does not have the script for the sequel to the original "Wulin Gaiden", he and the screenwriting department have made many modifications to the script in recent years. With rich experience, he has worked hard to create another 80-episode "Wulin Gaiden 2".
It's not impossible
But as he said, Zuo Le cannot guarantee that the original script of the sequel can reach the level and results of "Wulin Gaiden".
Zuo Le doesn't want to gamble, nor does he want to gamble.
"Wulin Gaiden" is almost the pinnacle of his current career. It is the masterpiece of his director's career and is also Zuo Le's most satisfying work. He is unwilling to let "Wulin Gaiden" be stained.
Therefore, even though he knew that the sequel could earn Shanhe hundreds of millions or even billions, Zuo Le was still unwilling to make a sequel to "Wulin Gaiden".
But Zuo Le didn't say anything, he told Fan Min and several others.
"Wulin Gaiden" will not make a TV series sequel, but in order to repay the fans, it may make a "Wulin Gaiden" theatrical version movie. It is not to make money, but to fill in the holes left by the drama. By the way, Shanhe can also accumulate cinema production.
experience.
In addition, Zuo Le also has an idea in mind, which is to make a TV series about the story of Bai Zhantang, Guo Furong and their descendants, but now he only has preliminary intention to do so.
Should we shoot or not? When should we shoot?
To be determined temporarily.
ps: I wrote it down before. "Wulin Gaiden" was broadcast on July 10th. I wrote it down as September. Now I have corrected it. Hope everyone knows.
