It made Zuo Le wonder whether to ask Teacher Ma for public relations fees...
Such an explosion of traffic has caused heated discussions about "The Qin Empire" to hit the screens of major online platforms.
Among them, the most active ones, besides fans of the Shanhe drama and some actors, are history fans.
To be more precise, Qin Fan.
[Woo woo woo, finally someone took a photo of me, Da Qin]
[Yes, the Qin Dynasty took relatively few pictures among the various dynasties, and they often attacked the Ancestral Dragon]
[This time it’s the Great Qin Empire, so it shouldn’t be bad.]
[Forget it if it’s dark, the thing I can’t stand the most is letting the First Emperor fall in love. Last time I saw a drama, the First Emperor actually competed with Jing Ke for a woman, which almost pissed me off]
[Brother, be lucky, the love rival of the First Emperor I saw turned out to be Zhao Gao]
[Fuck, those celebrities who are related to Zu Long, Meng Tian, Li Si, Wang Jian, Zhao Gao, Jing Ke, Yan Taizi Dan, and even Lu Buwei, all of them have a love-hate relationship with Zu Long. I really admire those screenwriters
】
[With so many love rivals and women, how did Qin Shi Huang find time to unify the six kingdoms (laughing and crying)]
[Be content, if it weren’t for the strict control of a certain bureau, these people would not be the love rivals of the First Emperor, but would directly become Danmei]
【...A certain game is awesome!】
[Don’t mess around with "The Qin Empire". People have said that this drama is a serious drama. Although there are certain artistic adaptations, it will not deviate from history]
[Main drama? Are there too many people selling dog meat these days?]
[I don’t know if you are talking nonsense upstairs, but the reputation of Shanhe is still trustworthy. Most of the costume dramas you can watch in recent years are produced by Shanhe]
[Yes, the only domestic dramas that can make people look forward to it are Shanhe and CCTV. This time the two companies have joined forces for "The Qin Empire", it is worth waiting for]
[Who knows when Zulong will appear? I heard that there are several "Qin Empire" movies.]
[It is said that there are five parts in total. The protagonists of the first part are Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang's reform, and then generations of people follow the reform]
[Qin Xiaogong, Qin Huiwen, Qin Wu, Qin Zhaoxiang, Qin Xiaowen, Qin Yiren, the First Emperor will not come out until the last one]
[Probably not. The Qin Dynasty was at its peak during the period of the First Emperor, so the role should be increased, but it’s hard to say.]
[I don’t care about Qin Shihuang, he will definitely appear. I just want to know if there is any part in Hu Hai’s stupid scene]
[Why bring him up on a happy day? It’s unlucky]
[Yes, why are we talking about him? Let’s guess who plays Qin Shihuang]
[Chen Shouming!!!!!! I like his role as the First Emperor the most, he is so handsome]
[Dude, haven’t you watched the news? Chen Shouming plays Shang Yang]
[By the way, why not let Chen Shouming play the role of the First Emperor? Is the age inappropriate?]
[It should be, since the plot follows one generation after another in time, then there will definitely be a boy, Qin Shi Huang, in his youth, and Chen Shouming is too old]
[What do you think of Gu Xiaoge]
[The acting skills are okay, but he is too handsome, and I always feel that he does not match the First Emperor]
[I think Duan Long can do it, he has a calm face and has a self-centered manner]
[Zhu Guanwu can do it too, he is a capable guy and his age is suitable]
[I vote for Jiao Jun, his role as Erlang Shen killed me]
[I vote for Zhang Han, the First Emperor should be a tough guy]
[Zhang Han is a bit shorter, how about Liu Huohua]
[The temperament is too frivolous, I support Wei Shu, he has played a version of Qin Shihuang before, and he performed well]
[Didn’t anyone mention Zuo Le? The emperor he played in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was also well received. He is good at playing the emperor.]
[Hey, dear, I heard that Zuo Le didn't have a role in the first part of "The Great Qin Empire". He wouldn't want to keep Qin Shihuang to himself, right?
[It’s scary to think about it]
[Down with the Dog Director, give me back Qin Shihuang]
【+1】
[Hahahaha, you guys know how to play]

Regardless of what historical Qin fans and ordinary netizens expect from Lenovo, in the film and television circles, the lineup of "Qin Empire - Fission" still caused a certain sensation.
The two male protagonists are Chen Shouming and Hou Yong.
The former is a golden phoenix, golden dragon, chairman of the Chinese Actors Association, and a leader among mainland actors. It is no exaggeration to say that with the three characters of Chen Shouming, the drama "The Qin Empire - Fission" is indispensable.
As for the latter, Hou Yong, although his status is not as good as that of Chen Shouming, he is also a senior actor in the industry.
He has been nominated for the Golden Dragon and Golden Phoenix awards many times. Although he has not won it, he has proved his strength and is a well-deserved uncrowned king.
Putting these two actors together is an adjective of quality, not to mention the supporting cast of Zhang Ruijin, Zhang Jian, Sun Dihu, Fulong, Hong Tao and other powerful actors.
Zhang Ruijin has been nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor twice, and also won the Best Actor Award once.
Sun Dihu is the fourth Golden Phoenix Award winner, and has also won the Golden Phoenix Best Supporting Actor three times.
Although the old man was limited by the times at that time, the difficulty of winning the award was much lower than it is now, but it was also a real manifestation of honor and strength.
Fulong has won the title of Emperor twice.
In addition, an actor who guest-starred as Gongsun Cuo also won the title of "Sight Emperor".
In addition to the title of "Emperor", the heroine Shui Miaomiao and Gao Wa, who plays the Queen Mother of Qin, also won the title of "Golden Phoenix" respectively.
Gao Wa has won it more than once, and also won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress.
In this way, the starring cast of "The Qin Empire - Fission" is simply a gathering of emperors and queens, and various gods fight.
Normally, if a drama has two or three TV dramas, it is already a big selling point.
Just like the original "Crossing Guandong", one of the banners used in the promotion was the "emperor and empress combination" of Li Youbin + Wang Yan as the male and female protagonists.
And now that "Fission" has achieved double-digit TV ratings, it is undoubtedly the top-notch existence in terms of the TV series lineup alone.
Many viewers who don't care about history were attracted by this, and it was worth it just to watch so many TV shows and dramas.
One TV director even said that if he could one day direct a crew of this level, he would die without regrets.
Of course, this is a bit exaggerated.
However, Zuo Le, as a person involved, felt so comfortable and satisfied after turning on the film and seeing the cast and crew full of big names.
…………
"The Qin Empire - Fission" has 50 episodes, covering a large number of scenes, so many scenes were not filmed together.
Zuo Le roughly divided the drama into two parts: "war drama" and "literary drama", and then made more sub-categories based on these two broad categories.
For example, [War Scene], there are several war scenes between Qin and Wei, the two most important ones are the two battles of Hexi.
In the first battle of Hexi, the Wei State faced Qin Xiangong. At this time, the Qin army was poor and weak, with old armor and shabby clothing, but it was wild and fierce.
In the Second Battle of Hexi, the Qin army that fought against the country was the new army after Shang Yang's reform. Compared with the last time, it was completely transformed.
The armor is complete and the weapons are sharp. Although they still maintain their bravery, their discipline is obviously much stricter.
As for the Wei army, in the first battle of Hexi, most of them were Wei soldiers left behind by Wu Qi. They were all elite. Although they were damaged to some extent by the fierce Qin army, they still managed to overwhelm the opponent.
But in the second battle of Hexi, the Wei soldiers were almost wiped out in the Battle of Maling. The overall military condition was obviously not as good as the first time. They met the upgraded Qin army again and were killed and defeated.
The details of this kind of plot change are what Zuo Le needs to arrange clearly when filming.
Each plot time period, the background of the troops at that time, and the status during the battle need to be fully presented.
Zuo Le is very ambitious for this drama and has certain expectations.
For war scenes, he didn't want to simply shoot two armies clashing with each other, with a few close-ups, and then let the coach analyze it, and then use their words to announce who won and who lost.
So boring.
He wanted the kind of big war scene that would make people's blood flow. He didn't need the coach's lines to explain, and the audience could clearly feel the war situation just by relying on the camera.
In the past, Zuo Le did not have this condition, and the shooting, scene planning, equipment and other hardware aspects were relatively easy to say.
The most important thing is that it is difficult for the extras to cooperate honestly with the scheduling according to Zuo Le's requirements. A big scene with thousands of people cannot be handled by simply increasing the pay.
Moreover, it is difficult for these ordinary group performances to produce the momentum of real battlefield fighting.
Apart from other things, the military formation is lined up, the sword is raised and the sword is slowly advanced. This is actually an attack with an oppressive nature, giving the enemy psychological pressure.
Audiences watching the play can also be affected by the scenes in the play and experience the vastness and cruelty of this battle.
However, if a play like this were performed by ordinary extras, the team would not be able to stand well and walk loosely forward with weapons in hand. At first glance, it would look like a mob, and it would not reflect the so-called oppressive momentum at all.
Not to mention letting the audience take part in it, it’s all good if you don’t look for faults and see who laughs or not.
Therefore, war scenes have always been one of the most difficult problems in the film and television industry. In addition to financial constraints, scene restrictions, hardware facilities and other issues, the quality of the ensemble cast is one of the most critical problems.
In the past, Zuo Le had no shortage of money and had all kinds of hardware facilities, but he couldn't find a large number of good extras.
When Zuo Le was filming "Bright Sword", in order to achieve a good effect in the war scene, he recruited elite extras and spent a lot of money to finally meet his expectations.
But it was just a passing grade, and it was still far from the standard Zuo Le had envisioned.
Therefore, Zuo Le has been thinking about inviting real troops to guest star since then, which is why CCTV came to discuss cooperation, and one of Zuo Le's conditions was to seek help from the military.
Only those brave and high-spirited people's soldiers, put on costumes, can restore the elite of the Qin Dynasty in Zuo Le's mind.
Zuo Le also plans to be able to flexibly change it when the specific shooting time comes.
Prepare a batch of group performances, specifically to portray defeated soldiers or ragtag groups. When the two sides line up and compare, the audience will be able to tell the difference at a glance.
Tsk tsk, Zuo Le once again praised his clever little mind...
………
In addition to the battle between Qin and Wei, the war scenes in "Fission" also include the battle between Qi and Wei, the battle between South Korea and Wei, and the battle between Qin and Rongdi.
As the protagonist of the Qin Kingdom, it goes without saying that there are many scenes. However, there are three reasons why the Wei Kingdom is described in great detail in the drama "Fission".
First, Wei was the overlord of the world at that time and had a strong sense of presence.
Second, the reason for Shang Yang's reform in the play was that Qin was defeated in the Qin-Wei War, and Qin was determined to avenge its humiliation.
One of the major achievements of Shang Yang's reform was to take revenge on Wei and regain the lost territory.
Third, Wei and Qin are neighbors, and Qin becomes stronger. If it wants to prove its strength, the first person it faces is Wei, and friction is inevitable.
Therefore, as the first opponent of the Qin State in the early stage, it was difficult for the Wei State to keep a low profile. Naturally, it would take some words to describe how the Qin State pushed the Wei State into a trough step by step.
This treatment is not unique to the Wei State. After the Wei State falls, it will be the time for the Chu State to crazily increase its sense of existence. After the Chu State is abolished, the Zhao State will take over and become the number one enemy of the Qin State.
Qi, Yan, and Han will also come out from time to time to make soy sauce, but the overall drama is not as good as that of Wei, Chu, and Zhao.
Not only war dramas, but also literary dramas. Qin has the most literary dramas, followed by Wei.
Most of the dramas in "Fission" are set in palace buildings. Except for a few special scenes that were specially re-set, most of them can be shot directly in the Changqing Film and Television Base Warring States City.
The main body of the Warring States City in Changqing Film and Television Base is the Qin Palace complex, which is magnificent and solemn. Standing on the top of the steps of the main hall and looking down, you really feel like "I am destined to be here".
However, in "Fission", the Qin Palace and other luxurious buildings did not belong to the Qin State, but belonged to the Wei State.
There is no way, the people of Lao Qin are poor!
We couldn't afford to build a luxurious palace. After the political reform, it was okay to move to the new capital Xianyang. However, in the old city of Yueyang, the main hall for court meetings was crowded. At a quick glance, it was not as big as the palace of King Wei Hui.
However, from another perspective, the poorer the family in the early stage, the more difficult it is to express the hegemony accumulated by the sixth generation of Qin.
Just like Zuo Le saw Qin Shihuang's luxurious palace in the fifth part of "The World" from the original version, and then compared it with the "dwelling" during Qin Xiaogong's period, he felt a sense of pride that the foundation of the Qin Dynasty had been established.
To express your desire, you must first suppress it. This is an old expression...
According to the formulated shooting plan, "Fission" will shoot literary dramas first, then war dramas, easy first and then difficult ones. The character changes will follow the plot. The young and middle-aged period will be shot first, and then the old age.
After confirming the shooting plan, Zuo Le first filmed some simple scenes to let the actors find their condition.
Then came the first highlight. It was also the classic duel between the two male leads in the play, Hou Yong and Chen Shouming.
Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong proposed strategies to strengthen Qin.
The importance of this scene in "Fission" is equivalent to Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to invite Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Duo.
In the play, the beginning of Shang Yang's reform and the friendship between the emperor and his ministers in "Qingshan Pine and Cypress CP" all started from this scene.
It is no exaggeration to say that whether this drama is good or not is directly related to the quality of the entire drama...
