Chapter 132 The most desirable place is the Tongfu Inn in Qixia Town
The filming progress of "Cooking Class Story 2" is very fast.
After all, this is a sequel, and the cast and crew have collaborated with Zuo Le more than once. They know each other well, and the filming was extremely smooth.
With a 40-episode script, the crew started filming in mid-June and completed filming nearly three-quarters of the scenes in early August. It is estimated that "Story of the Cooking Class 2" will be completed in mid-to-late August.
If the post-production speed is accelerated, the eleventh episode will be broadcast very hopefully.
"Story of the Cooking Class 2" is going very smoothly here, but the third part of Sunward Pictures' mainstay series "Family with Children" is having a little trouble.
There are two main problems. One is that the actor Wen Yu, who plays the grandfather, has suffered a significant decline in health this year and has been in the hospital for a long time. He is unable to appear in the third part of "Family with Children" again.
Gao Xinjian went to the hospital to visit the old man. The old man's physical condition was not optimistic. Even if he could survive this year, he might not be able to live a normal life in the future.
Mr. Wen Yu also knew about his situation, and he happily asked Gao Xinjian and the crew to consider changing the actor, or else change the role of grandfather to death and leave the show directly.
After Gao Xinjian and Zuo Le discussed it, they did not rush to "die" the grandfather. After all, the actor Wen was still there, so this would be too disrespectful to the old man.
Therefore, "Family with Children 3" only blurs the role of grandfather. How about the fourth part depends on the specific situation.
In addition to the fact that the grandfather Wen Yu will no longer appear in the role, the role of Xia Xue in "Family with Children 3" also almost encountered a crisis of changing roles.
It's not that there are any unspoken rules, the crew forcibly changed the actors, but it was mainly because Yang Qing himself was preparing to shift his focus from acting to studying.
In September this year, Yang Qing will be in the third grade of junior high school. He will take the high school entrance examination next summer. As for Yang Qing's own performance, because he has been acting on the set all year round, not to say bad, it is not much better.
The little girl is determined to take the national opera exam. Although the national opera is an art school, it does not have enough cultural points. You are the Golden Dragon Queen, and there are so many people watching from top to bottom, and the national opera does not dare to open a back door for you.
Unless you don't want a bachelor's degree in Chinese opera, join some college or advanced training class.
Yang Qing definitely didn't want this, so she had to pay attention to cultural classes, especially this time Yang Qing's parents contacted her with a key middle school in Beijing.
Normally, except for some well-connected students in key schools like this, ordinary students who are not at the academic level cannot get into it.
This time Yang Qing had the opportunity, because the school saw that Yang Qing was a well-known child star after playing Xiaoxue and Mo Xiaobei in the past two years, so they specially recruited students with artistic talents.
But the premise is also stipulated that Yang Qing's high school entrance examination scores must be above the passing line, otherwise the special recruitment quota will be invalid.
Therefore, Yang Qing and his parents attach great importance to this high school entrance examination, and even reluctantly quit the "Family with Children" series, which has greatly promoted Yang Qing's career as an actor.
Yang Qing's decision was definitely a bolt from the blue for the crew of "Family with Children".
Although the role of grandfather appears a lot, it is a supporting role after all, and it can also be "killed by the script" due to his age, which the audience can understand.
But Xia Xue is different. She is the protagonist. No matter whether the role is changed or the scene is deleted, the Xia family of five is no longer complete. It would be strange if the audience of "Family with Children" didn't get upset.
Gao Xinjian went north to Beijing overnight to persuade Yang Qing to change his mind, but unfortunately it had little effect. In the end, it was Zuo Le who took action and made several phone calls to Yang Qing and his parents. After several rounds of dealings, the matter was settled.
First of all, Yang Qing will still appear in "Family with Children 3", but the role of Xia Xue will be greatly reduced. The specific operation can be solved by living on campus or other reasons.
Second, in order to free up time for Yang Qing to study, the crew can prioritize filming her scenes so that she can finish filming as soon as possible.
Third, Zuo Le personally promised that if Yang Qing's final grades were not satisfactory and he failed to get admitted to the key middle school in Beijing, he could help Yang Qing contact the key middle school in Quancheng.
After all, Dongshan is also a major college entrance examination province. Putting aside some of the advantages of Beijing Middle School, several key middle schools in Quancheng have great experience in improving student performance.
If his sister Zuo Xiao hadn't had a relationship with a classmate in Zhao City and her grades were pretty good, Zuo Le would have had the heart to let Miss Zuo transfer from her hometown to Quancheng.
Yang Qing and his parents are very grateful to Zuo Le for giving such a green light and helping him. If Zuo Le was not still young, Yang Qing's parents would have made their daughter recognize him as her godfather.
A normal kind of godfather, don’t think wrongly!
But Zuo Le is not a good person for nothing. He has long been interested in this little girl Yang Qing and wanted to sign her to Shanhe. Previously, Yang Qingqing was too young and her parents were worried about letting her sign with an entertainment company.
And with Zuo Le's foreshadowing this time, I believe Yang Qing and his parents will have a great impression of Shanhe.
After a while, Zuo Le found an opportunity to chat with them, and it is estimated that the matter will be close to the same.
In the past two or three years, Yang Qing, a little girl, has been the most popular child star in China. She won the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Supporting Actress when she debuted. The two movies "Family with Children" and "Wulin Gaiden" made Yang Qing famous all over the country and her reputation is not weak.
Compared to ordinary A-list celebrities.
What's more important is that unlike other child stars who rely on their looks and aura to make a living, this little girl Yang Qing has been honing her acting skills intentionally or unintentionally since her debut.
Zuo Le is very optimistic about Yang Qing's future and feels that in ten or even five years, when this little girl grows up, she will definitely have a place in the industry.
That's why Zuo Le tried so hard to lure Yang Qing to Shanhe, with the idea of "cultivating a first-line actress in the entertainment industry".
…………
Having secured Yang Qing, "Family with Children 3" is also preparing to start shooting.
At this time, the time has arrived on August 14th, the filming of "The Story of Cooking Class 2" has come to an end, and there are only 10 episodes left in "Wulin Gaiden".
On August 13, the overall ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" exceeded 4.89, and the highest ratings for a single episode reached a terrifying 9.01.
Now the entire film and television industry is waiting to see if "Wulin Gaiden" can have an average ratings of over 5, with a single episode peaking over 10.
If "Wulin Gaiden" achieves this achievement, it will become the TV series with the highest ratings in China since the beginning of the Internet era and become a monument in the history of Chinese television.
Many people do not hope that "Wulin Gaiden" can achieve this success, but more people hope that they can witness history.
Just like that, the last few days of the premiere of "Wulin Gaiden" have been highly anticipated.
Throughout the month of August, whether it was TV series, movies, or variety shows, no one could capture its edge. Coupled with the previously popular July, "Wulin Gaiden" dominated the entire summer schedule.
Some people say that in the summer of 2019, the most popular TV series was "Wulin Gaiden", and the most coveted place was Tongfu Inn in Qixia Town.
