It is no secret in Shanhe that Kong Sheng is planning to withdraw from the series "Serious Case Group Six".
As early as the beginning of preparations for "Serious Cases Group 6 2", Kong Sheng had spoken to Zuo Le and several senior executives of Shanhe.
The reason is similar to Zuo Le's decision not to make sequels to "Family with Children" and "Seven Swords". He doesn't want to limit himself to a certain drama. He keeps resting on his laurels and indulges in his comfort zone, which leads to a rigid thinking and an inability to make progress.
Gao Xinjian: I always feel that I have been connoted...
As a general of the company, Kong Sheng insisted on this, and Zuo Le, the boss, was not easy to force, so the matter was settled.
However, since Kong Sheng wanted to withdraw, he had to find a suitable director to take charge of the "Senior Case Group Six" series. At that time, Kong Sheng strongly recommended Wang Qian.
He even took the initiative to express his willingness to co-direct "Serious Cases 2" with Wang Qian, clearly wanting to help Wang Qian.
However, the "Serious Cases Six" series is a key project of Shanhe. Wang Qian had no independent directing experience before. Zuo Le did not take Kong Sheng's suggestion hastily and only let Wang Qian be the director of "Serious Cases Six" on the grounds of ability evaluation.
Executive director of "Group 2".
After that, Zuo Le specifically talked to Wang Qian and explained the matter directly without hiding anything.
"Serious Cases Group 6 2" is a test for Wang Qian. If she performs well, she has a chance to take over Kong Sheng's class. If her performance is average, Shanhe will hire another Gao Ming.
For Wang Qian, who is aspiring to be a director, having the opportunity to direct the series "Six Serious Cases" is a godsend.
She is not a famous director, and she is resistant to the so-called "eating leftovers".
"Crime Six" is a mature IP with broad prospects. Only a fool would push such an opportunity away.
As long as he can sit in the director's position and accumulate qualifications, it doesn't matter if he makes sequels. Gao Xinjian also started out in sequels. Now he is still a famous director in the industry. Who dares to look down on him.
Wang Qian maintains a good mentality and is determined to make achievements in the crew of "Serious Cases Group 6 2" and gain points in front of Zuo Le and Shanhe senior executives.
After Kong Sheng learned about this, he also intended to make it happen. Not only did he personally teach Wang Qian some shooting techniques, he also delegated power to Wang Qian to take charge of most of the filming tasks of the crew. As a director, he took a back seat and was more like a producer.
This is very similar to when Zuo Le trained Gao Xinjian during the filming of "Family with Children", and the effect was also outstanding.
During the filming of "Serious Case Group 6 2", Wang Qian's own directing ability improved dramatically and reached Zuo Le's psychological bottom line.
Zuo Le did not break his promise and nodded to Wang Qian to take over the "Serious Case Group Six" series.
To be honest, although Wang Qian's ability is not bad, it is only good. With Shanhe's resources and connections, she can easily find a better director than her.
The reason why Zuo Le finally chose Wang Qian was mainly because she was one of the people who knew the "Serious Case Group Six" series best.
This is no joke. Not only did Wang Qian play the heroine Ji Jie in "Serious Case Group Six", she also served as the deputy director in the first part and the executive director in the second part. She even participated in some screenwriting, acting and behind-the-scenes work.
Work.
He hastily hired a director from outside. He may have much more directing ability and experience than Wang Qian, but in order to film "Serious Case Group Six" well and grasp the style and highlights of this drama, Zuo Le is more optimistic about Wang Qian, who "wears many hats".
Qian.
There is another reason. "Serious Case Group 6" is a series that Sunward focuses on creating. The company internally expects to shoot more than five series. If the results remain stable, even more will be shot.
Therefore, this requires the loyalty and stability of the successor director. If the director is changed every day, no matter how good the show is, it will be scrapped.
From a long-term perspective, Wang Qian is a new director and is more suitable for Sunward to train and support. More importantly, as a newcomer, she will not threaten the status of Sunward's several veteran directors, which is conducive to maintaining internal unity.
Don't think that directors won't compete. In fact, they compete more fiercely than artists. For scripts, projects, funds, artists, etc., these are all resources that directors need. How can they not compete?
At present, the mountains and rivers are calm, mainly because there are fewer people and more meat, everyone can share it, and there is also Zuo Le, an industry giant, so everything is safe.
Adding a new director will not threaten the status of Kong, Gao, and Xue for the time being. If a famous director is hired, there will be trouble if the tiger downhill meets the tiger sitting down.
Being a boss is not easy, Zuo Le is really worried sometimes...
…………
However, unexpectedly, the change of director in the "Senior Crimes" series did not arouse much response.
Although Kong Sheng is now known as a famous director, his fame is more limited to the circle. Not many ordinary viewers know this name.
On the contrary, it is Wang Qian who, with her role as Ji Jie, has gained a high status among the fans of "Case Six". When she becomes the director, many people express their support.
Zuo Le was slightly surprised by this result. He thought it would arouse strong resistance from the audience, and even contacted Kong Sheng specifically to prepare an explanation, but all efforts were in vain.
Director Kong was a little sad.
He had heard that when the director of "With Children 2" was changed, Gao Xinjian was scolded a lot, and the audience and fans took turns to protest, causing a commotion for a long time.
Some time ago, the change of director of "Seven Swords 2" also caused quite a stir. Why is it that now that it is his turn, the audience happily agreed.
Howling a little or two to express your reluctance is fine!
Zuo Le still felt quite embarrassed and didn't know how to comfort him. After all, everything he said seemed to be showing off.
Tsk tsk, the director also cares about looks, who makes us look handsome...
The director change incident did not affect the broadcast of "Serious Cases Part 6", which may be due to the few well-known cases, and its ratings have soared.
Halfway through the series, the average ratings successfully exceeded 2. By the 30th episode, the ratings exceeded 2.2.
"Serious Cases 2" only has 36 episodes, and there are only three days left, so the ratings exceeded 2.5, which is enough.
But it has great hope to surpass Kong Sheng's highest ratings record - "Don't Talk to Strangers" at 2.31.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the Douhua score of "Senior Crime Team 2" has dropped from the first broadcast, reaching 8.6 points, but it is still 0.1 higher than the first part.
Although the score is only slightly higher, "Serious Cases 2" has almost unanimously received positive reviews online. In particular, the drama's bold retelling of well-known cases from last year has won praises from many viewers and netizens.
The main reason why the score is not high is probably due to the added suspenseful detective color. Some viewers feel that "Serious Case Group 6", as a professional police drama, does not need to add these additional elements.
Of course, where there is opposition, there is support. There are also many viewers who are in favor of incorporating some detective elements into "Six Cases". This has also become an important topic for discussion and debate in the "Six" series.
It depends on the new director Wang Qian how to choose the following series of "Serious Cases Group Six"...
