At the end of January 2021, Quancheng Changqing Film and Television Base
The Spring Festival of 2021 is February 12, which is not many days away. Many industries have begun to enter the finishing stage, and have even begun to take holidays.
However, at the Changqing Film and Television Base, it is rare to feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival approaching, and many crews are still filming in full swing.
An ancient street scene somewhere
This place has been booked by the crew of "The Miracle Doctor Xilaile" and has been decorated as "Cangzhou City". Filming is currently underway.
Jinfengshi Emperor Yasuda plays "Xilaile", who has long braids on her half-moon hair and wears a blue mandarin jacket. She is sitting leisurely in the Yixiao Hall of her own medical clinic. She seems to be observing the flow of people in front of the door, but her eyes are occasionally looking towards the restaurant opposite.
glance.
Opposite Food is the Sky, the proprietress "Sai Xishi" played by Wan Qian is busy greeting customers inside and outside the store. Suddenly she seemed to feel Xilaile's eyes and looked back from a distance.
"Okay, this is over."
Director Xue Jun, who was wearing a peaked cap, looked away from the monitor, put down his headphones, looked at the time, and saw that it was past 12 o'clock, then he raised his loudspeaker and shouted.
"It's time, let's take a rest and get ready for dinner."
Xue Jun gave the order, and several assistants took down jackets and put them on the actors who had just finished filming.
It is now the coldest month of winter, and the outdoor temperature in Quancheng is not low. The setting of the play is spring. Although the clothes worn by several actors are not too thin and have warmers on the inside, they are definitely not as warm as down jackets.
The assistant director in charge of logistics greeted several scriptwriters and crew members to carry out a large box covered with quilts to keep it warm from a van, which was filled with lunch boxes for the crew.
The extras and staff consciously queued up to get their meals. A few leading actors also asked their assistants to queue up to get their meals, but most of them still ate the small dishes they prepared themselves.
…………
Xue Jun didn't have much of an appetite. After seeing the crew starting to eat lunch in an orderly manner, he returned to the monitor to review the footage.
Just as he was looking at the scene seriously, Xue Jun suddenly heard a burst of noise, and Director Xue was quite dissatisfied with being disturbed.
He raised his head and was about to say something to signal for silence, but after seeing clearly the person who was causing the noise, he swallowed his words without speaking, and stood up to say hello with a smile on his face.
"Chairman, why are you here?"
That's right, the person coming here is none other than Zuo Le. After returning from traveling abroad, he doesn't need to worry about the big and small things at home. He just wants to coax the old man to play, but the old man doesn't want to talk to him yet.
Zuo Le thought about it, and since he had nothing to do, he came to visit the crew of "The Miracle Doctor Xilaile" not far away.
In the second half of 2020, Sunward will launch three new productions: "Family with Children 4", "Serious Cases Part 2" and "Miracle Doctor Xilaile".
Because the first two dramas started shooting early and most of the actors were from the original cast, they had a good understanding of each other and progressed very quickly. They were completed around the beginning of January.
Now we are in the process of post-production. The post-production of "Family with Children 4" has almost ended and it has begun to enter the promotion stage.
On the contrary, "Miracle Doctor Xilaile", because it is an original script, there is no previous experience, so a lot of time was spent on preparatory work such as casting, location selection and script reading.
After the crew started shooting, because most of the actors had never worked together before, they once again set aside some time for the actors to get used to the break-in period, so the progress was naturally far behind the other two crews.
Currently, the filming progress of "Miracle Doctor Xilaile" is only about two-thirds, and there is still some time left before completion.
Including post-production time, the broadcast date is estimated to be April.
But this is just right, "Family with Children 4" is scheduled for the Spring Festival, "Serious Cases 2" will probably premiere in March, and "Miracle Doctor Xilaile" will be picked up in April.
After these three dramas are completed, "Bright Sword" will probably be almost ready to be broadcast on stars.
One scene after another, the reputation of Shanhe Drama was completely established.
Last year, the overall performance of the Shanhe drama was outstanding, and it has initially formed a brand effect. This year, Zuo Le is ready to continue his efforts, create a collective explosion, and completely nail the concept of "Shanhe drama = quality" in the hearts of the audience.
…………
Zuo Le has a position on the crew of "The Miracle Doctor Xilaile", as the nominal director, and he is also the producer of the crew.
When he came to visit the cast, it was not only Xue Jun who was shocked, but all the leading actors and the heads of the crew came over to say hello.
As a TV series independently produced by Shanhe, most of the crew are actually internal employees of Shanhe, and they are all our own people. Zuo Le did not put on any airs, just chatted for a few words, and asked them to help divide the things he brought.
Generally, when stars or celebrities go to visit a certain production crew, they rarely come empty-handed. They need to bring something to show their appreciation. Even if they don't bring anything, they will order some drinks, coffee, etc. and distribute them to the crew.
It's not really a rule in the industry, but over time, everyone does it, and it becomes a common practice.
Zuo Le is the boss of the crew, and he is even more generous. When he came here, he specially ordered a truckload of takeout for the crew to add food and drinks. The prices were not luxurious, but they were not ordinary goods either.
No, the crew and extras burst into cheers when they saw the food being brought down.
………
While everyone was dividing things, Zuo Le took Xue Jun aside and chatted about the crew of "Xilai Le".
He was busy with the Golden Phoenix Awards before, and then went on tour, so he didn't really pay much attention to the three crews of the company.
"Family with Children 4" and "Senior Crimes Part 2" are both veteran production crews, and the main creator has already successfully adapted to them, and they are following the steps step by step, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
In comparison, the crew of "Miracle Doctor Xilaile" was a little more complicated, but others were fine. Zuo Le was mainly afraid that Xue Jun's qualifications were mediocre and that he would not be able to suppress Wang Baotian.
Wang Baotian is a very powerful person. Generally, actors act in TV series first, and then go to movies when the time is right. He did it the other way around, acting in movies first, then jumping to TV series, and finally reaching the top, becoming the Golden Phoenix Emperor.
Although the highlight of Wang Baotian's acting career was in TV series, it does not mean that his film career is average.
On the contrary, Wang Baotian is a particularly outstanding movie star and was once nominated for the Golden Dragon Award.
When he first started transitioning into filming TV series, there were still many people who believed that he had resigned himself to depravity. This voice lasted for a long time and disappeared until he was awarded the title of Visual Emperor.
Many people say that Li Youbin is the most distinguished Shidi, making people eavesdrop. In fact, this Wang Shidi is even worse.
Wang Baotian doesn't have any major shortcomings. The most criticized thing is that he is a crazy actor. He is usually easy to talk to, but when filming, he has a bad temper and has a bad temper. Because of the script and performance, he often has conflicts with people.
The two most famous ones:
The first is his masterpiece "Joking about Liu Luo Guo".
It is said that at that time on the set, even the director and several other leading actors were offended by Wang Baotian. Originally, the showrunners planned to make a sequel, but suddenly the plan aborted because of him.
The second is the movie "Don't Speak Well".
At that time, Wang Baotian and another leading actor, Jiang Wen, who was also a well-known character actor in the industry, teamed up to torture the film's director, Zhang Kaigang, to the point of death.
Since then, the great director Zhang Kaigang has never asked them to be the leading actors again.
From these two anecdotes in the industry, we can also see how difficult Wang Baotian is to mess with. Although Xue Jun has some achievements, compared with Wang Baotian, he is really not good enough...
Zuo Le came here this time with the intention of supporting Xue Jun. Although he is not as good as Zhang Kaigang at the moment, Zuo Le, who has become a god in the field of TV dramas, can also be regarded as a big shot in the director circle.
He showed his attitude by showing his face. Even if Wang Baotian goes "crazy" in the future, he will restrain himself...
