Chapter 313 I am poor and poor with ambition, a price of 200,000 taels
After "Charlotte" was completed, Zuo Le stopped most of his work. Except for focusing on the post-production of the movie from time to time, he spent the rest of his time at home with his wife.
He thought he was a model husband, but little did he know that within a few days, Tian Yan found him annoying and felt that Zuo Le was following him around every day, disturbing her peace and quiet.
His wife thought he was too diligent, so Zuo Le wanted to help with other things at home, but in the end he couldn't get involved.
There are nannies for ordinary chores, professional doctors and medical staff hired with large sums of money for pregnancy care, and other aspects are also watched by the mother-in-law and mother. Sometimes he wants to give Tian Yan a massage, but he is complained that his technique is not as good as the masseur hired by his family.
Zuo Le stayed at home for a few days, except for occasionally taking over the driver's job and taking Tian Yan out for a walk.
The remaining biggest function is to serve as a human-shaped pillow and 37°C constant-warming baby for Tian Yan, and she will be abandoned immediately when a certain boss lady feels panicked.
To sum it up in one sentence, Zuo Le's treatment these days is so disgusting that Li people hate dogs. The only problem is that they don't have a dog at home...
However, Zuo Le was able to "bear the humiliation and bear the burden" of this. Who let Tian Yan have a hostage in his belly that he could not afford to offend.
The sky is big and the earth is big, but the children are the biggest.
Wanting to regain his glory, when the child is born, he has plenty of options to deal with this arrogant "kidnapper".
Zuo Le stayed with Tian Yan at home for nearly a month. Except for going to the editing room every few days to check on the post-production progress of "Charlotte Trouble", he stayed at home the rest of the time.
It wasn't until December 20 that Zuo Le walked out of the house again, preparing to attend the Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony on the 24th.
During the two days he had free time, he went to the Changqing Film and Television Base to visit the crew of "The Mansion Gate".
………
As mentioned before, serious drama plays an important role in the subject matter of TV dramas. If Shanhe wants to firmly maintain its dominance in the field of TV dramas, it is essential to steadily produce high-quality dramas.
This is equivalent to "face". Even if you lose money and make a profit, Shanhe has to support it.
As an 80-episode long and serious drama, "The Gate of the Mansion" is considered to be the top priority of Shanhe's TV drama project next year.
Except for "Latent", which was directed by Zuo Le himself, this drama has attracted the most attention from senior executives within Shanhe. Even if "Latent" had not been made by director Zuo Le, it would have been ranked behind "Mansion Gate".
It has been more than a month since the filming of "The Mansion Gate" started, but the filming progress is very slow. Now it is almost one-tenth of the way completed.
It is true that this is because the crew and actors have not yet successfully adapted, but it is also because director Kong Sheng strives to improve the shooting effect.
According to the producer of "The Mansion Gate", Kong Sheng is now in a daze. Apart from filming and muttering about the script every day, Kong Sheng doesn't care about anything else.
Zuo Le went to visit the class this time because he wanted to see what was going on with Kong Sheng. If the situation was really wrong, even if the entire project was suspended, Kong Sheng could not be involved.
Although there is a saying in the industry that you can't make a living without going crazy, but in Zuo Le's view, filming is just a job after all. He is a layman and does not understand the pursuit of art. He only knows that human life is more important than heaven.
No matter how classic a film or television work is, it can drive people crazy, but it is also a loss-making business, and Zuo Le's conscience can't live with it...
However, after he came to the set of "Mansion Gate", he carefully observed Kong Sheng's condition and found that Kong Sheng was not as mysterious as the producer said.
Kong Sheng's mind was still very clear, but he was highly focused on his work, causing him to "not hear what was going on outside the window."
It is an exaggeration to say that the devil was stunned. It would be more appropriate to say that he forgot all about food and sleep and concentrated on it.
Zuo Le also talked to Kong Sheng and asked him not to work so hard. "The Mansion Gate" is long and the company has made sufficient preparations and budgets. He can shoot slowly here and Zuo Le and the company will not rush him.
One step at a time.
Long-term mental stress and high-intensity work are very harmful to the body. If he didn't finish filming, his body would collapse first, and the situation in "Mansion Gate" would be even worse.
The boss confided in his heart and comforted him greatly, which really touched Kong Sheng. He slept comfortably that night, and his mental state became much calmer the next day.
………
Zuo Le stayed on the set of "Mansion Gate" for two days. In addition to admonishing Kong Sheng, he also played a role.
This character doesn't have many scenes, just one scene, which lasts for more than four minutes. There are no camera changes, just one shot to the end.
Although there are not many roles, the role is very interesting. When Zuo Le was drafting the script, he thought that he would play Xie Wanwan when he had time. When he came back to visit the team, he asked Kong Sheng and found out that he had not decided on the role yet, so he used power for personal gain.

"The Mansion Gate" crew, a study room scene
Zuo Le was wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform and official hat, sitting carefree behind the desk, while Chen Guoze, wearing a yin-yang pigtail and a long shirt and mandarin jacket, was sitting in the guest seat.
Of course, Chen Guo plays Bai Jingqi and Bai Qiye, and Zuo Le plays the prefect of Quancheng. Bai Jingqi wants to take over all the rubber factories in Quancheng, and in the meantime he has to deal with the rival Sun family, so he comes to bribe the prefect.
The plot is very simple, but the lines are very cleverly written. There are goings and goings, no words are left unsaid, and there are deep metaphors behind the lines.
Combined with the plot, smack carefully, the more you smack, the more delicious it becomes...
At the beginning, the two of them formulated their words. The prefect wanted to find out Bai Jingqi's background. After all, Bai Jingqi had a relative, Governor Lu, standing behind him. When Bai Jingqi bluntly said that Governor Lu didn't know about it and wanted to follow the path of the prefect, the prefect knew what he was doing and asked for money.
Magistrate: "Master Lu just sent me more than 10,000 taels of military pay last month."
Bai: "I'll make arrangements for you."
Magistrate: "The last time the governor came to inspect, I caused a famine of 30,000 taels outside."
Bai: "I paid this debt for you."
Magistrate: "My old lady loves to eat your long glue. You also know that your glue is too expensive. Alas, I am not fulfilling my filial piety."
Bai: "Don't worry. From now on, I'll wrap up the old lady's glue so that she can live a long life."
Magistrate: "Two days ago, my wife insisted on building ancestral tombs. Tell me, how can we build ancestral tombs with only ten thousand and eight thousand people?"
Bai: "I will repair the ancestral graves."
Magistrate: "My son loves gambling and lost more than 30,000 taels of silver in one night."
Bai: "My nephew's affairs are my business, and I will take care of them to the end."
Magistrate: "...Who else is in our family?"
Bai: "You are asking me...how do I know about your relatives?"
Magistrate: "Hahaha, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. It sounds like I am greedy. I am poor and ambitious. As an official, you must be honest, otherwise the people will stab you in the back...
That’s it, one price, 200,000 taels of silver, I’ll do it for you!”
Bai: "Don't worry, this lawsuit can take as long as it takes. It's best to drag it on for a year and a half. The Sun family won't be able to honor you properly."
Tsk, tsk, this whole drama is just one word——
Enjoyable!
There was a lot of talk at the beginning, but there were tricks in the middle. The prefect offered a price, but he didn't respond. Bai Jingqi promised happily, but the money he gave could leave evidence on his hands.
In the end, the prefect was cornered and finally offered to take on the job, then nakedly demanded 200,000 yuan, and Bai Jingqi dragged him to eat the defendant.
There is not a word of nonsense in the middle, the amount of information is huge, and the rhythm is natural and smooth. Zuo Le and Chen Guo are comfortable acting, and others enjoy watching it.
But after Zuo Le sat on the monitor and watched the replay, he still couldn't help but shake his head.
My acting skills are still lacking a lot!
As a famous domestic director, Zuo Le's acting skills cannot be said to be top-notch, but his vision is definitely top-notch.
He didn't feel it when he was acting before, but after watching the replay, he could clearly feel that Chen Guo deliberately gave him two points when they acted together just now.
In the original version, the whole focus of the scene was on the prefect. Now that Zuo Le had taken advantage of the role, he could barely draw a tie with Chen Guo. He felt somewhat regretful.
However, the overall effect of this clip is still good. At least Zuo Le is quite satisfied with it, and has a vague feeling of unfinished business with this very stylish dialogue rhythm.
He feels that if he has the opportunity in the future, he can try more of this style, which is very exciting...
