When new members join the group, they first go to the hotel to stay.
The staff arranged to inform the actors about their living, travel, diet and other life issues, which is why Zuo Xiao, the deputy production director in charge of logistics, was asked to pick up Fulong.
Of course, the above reasons are only part of it.
After all, you can just hire any staff member. The reason why Zuo Xiao took action personally was mainly to show the importance he attached to Fulong.
Zuo Le's biological sister.
This title is more valuable than crew producer, and Zuo Xiao is still a young girl, so it is relatively easier to communicate with the actors.
Therefore, the task of arranging big-name stars for the "Qin Empire" crew fell on Zuo Xiao.
Zuo Xiao also did a good job and was highly praised by her immediate boss, the production director. The big names she greeted also expressed their satisfaction.
Regardless of whether these people are sincere or fake, if they achieve good results, Zuo Xiao has made a meritorious deed.
After making arrangements for his daily life, the lower left corner took out a few forms from his bag and handed them to Fulongdao.
"This is your work schedule. The last one has a Fetion QR code. This is a staff member who is specially aligned with you. You can ask your assistant to scan it to add friends."
If you have any needs, you can contact the other party directly, and he will notify you as soon as possible if there are any new arrangements or changes by the crew."
Fulong took a look at his watch and said: "The makeup will be finalized in the morning tomorrow, the script workshop will be held in the afternoon, and the shooting will begin the day after tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, someone will contact you directly and take you to try on makeup." Zuo Xiao replied.
For example, in some costume dramas or dramas where the actor himself has changed a lot, the actor's makeup does not just come to the set and start acting.
The process during this period is very complicated.
First of all, actors need to send their height, weight, body measurements, head circumference and other physical data to the crew.
The crew then specially customizes costumes and props based on the actor's figure and temperament, as well as plot style, era background and other factors.
Therefore, actors have a fitting before filming, and they try it on with real people to see the effect. If it fits, everyone is happy, but if it doesn't, the costume department and props department will have to make modifications.
Not only the costumes and props, but also the makeup needs to be tried on.
The makeup artist works with the stylist and the art department to find the version that best suits the actor and the character based on the actor's temperament and image.
It's okay for male actors, there are only a few things that can be adjusted, but it's more complicated for actresses.
Not to mention, Zhen Huan in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has nearly 150 sets of various jewelry and clothing combinations, and more than 50 sets as spares, plus styling, makeup, and accessories.
Wait for matching
Tsk tsk...
Let's put it this way, if Shui Miaomiao tried on all Zhen Huan's styles in one go, it would have taken more than a week to apply foundation, and she would still be sleepless.
Of course, it is definitely not possible for all the actors to try it on. We will try the most common costumes and costumes used in the early shooting first, and then we can try them slowly in batches.
The same is true for Fulong. The costumes and styles to try are also commonly used and complex ones that will be shot soon.
For example, his Duke Qin's dress is very difficult to tailor. If there is something wrong, you have to change it quickly. If you delay it until the checkpoint, you will find it wrong again, and it will be too late.
Fulong was also an old actor and was no stranger to such a process. However, his assistant who had been with him for just six months was a little confused. After Zuo Xiao left, he said with some confusion,
"Trying on makeup? How come we didn't do it before when we filmed the movie "Qingling Belle"?"
"It's not that I didn't do it, it's that I didn't try it out a little bit, and then modified it according to the actors. It's almost enough to put on makeup before filming.
"Qingling Belle" is pretty good. If it were an ordinary pheasant crew, they would just give you a costume and a hood. Try on the makeup? You want to try it on, but it's troublesome."
The agent curled his lips, complained and told the truth, then looked at the assistant and said.
"Do you know why all good actors want to join the crew of Shanhe? Regardless of their achievements, their professional attitude alone makes people feel at ease. They are also practical and energetic when acting."
Looking at his assistant's thoughtful look, Fulong shook his head.
"Okay, we've been on a plane and in a car all the way. We're all very tired. Let's go back and rest. We still have work tomorrow."
The agent nodded, told Fulong to sleep well, and took the assistant to their room.
…………
The next day, the three Fulongs followed the staff who had come to contact them early and came to a dressing room dedicated to the leading actors.
After struggling all morning, I finally determined the basic shape of Fulong. There may be slight adjustments later, but this is roughly what it looks like.
The costumes and props are almost up to standard, and the few issues they have are minor issues.
However, the heads of the costume and art departments of "The Qin Empire" also informed Fulong that he might have to come here more often in the future.
It turns out that as the male protagonist of the second "Zong Heng", Fulong is not only filming "Fission", he also has to cooperate with the preparatory work for "Zong Heng".
The art department and other departments may have to ask Fulong to come over from time to time to discuss the styling ideas for "Zongheng" Yingsi, or he may directly serve as a model.
Fulong had no objections to this. He signed a contract for two dramas of "The Qin Empire". After receiving the money for two dramas, he had to work on two dramas.
Now that he doesn't cooperate, he won't be able to escape when it comes to "Zongheng". It's just a matter of time.
In the evening, Fulong attended the script seminar. He said it was a meeting, but in fact there were only four people in total.
Fulong, the chief editor of the "Qin Empire" writing team, plus Chen Shouming and Zuo Le.
Although the people are nice, the portions are huge
Now the filming of "The Great Qin Empire" is in full swing. Several executive directors and multiple crews are filming together. The directors and actors are very busy.
At first, Fulong thought that he would just communicate with the screenwriter and it would be over. Unexpectedly, Zuo Le and the first male lead, Chen Shouming, both came together. This made Fulong pay more attention to this script seminar several times.
In fact, what Fulong didn't know was that he was not the only one surprised.
The editor-in-chief and Chen Shouming, who was dragged here, also expressed surprise that Zuo Le was hosting this script seminar.
It has been so long since "The Qin Empire" was launched, that is, when it was first launched, the crew jointly held a large seminar. After that, the screenwriters and actors usually communicated. This was the first time that this happened today.
Facing the surprise and doubts of several people, Zuo Le actually knew what he was doing, but he had no explanation, and it was not enough for outsiders to understand.
Although the entire series of the original "Qin Empire" is of excellent quality, it also has many problems.
Let’s not talk about the other films, let’s just talk about the first film “Fission”. There are two most critical issues.
First, Shang Yang is overly deified.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shang Yang in "Fission" is a saint with almost no shortcomings.
This setting itself is not bad. As a positive protagonist, it is normal to create an ideal character, but the most inappropriate thing is to belittle other characters and use it to set off Shang Yang.
And not just ordinary people, Mencius, Shen Buhai, Gongshu Cuo, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Yingsi, and even Qin Xiaogong, in order to show Shang Yang's wisdom, they made certain belittlements and even slanders.
Yes, Shang Yang is indeed great.
But other historical figures are also outstanding among people, and they cannot be criticized and praised.
In fact, this is also true. In the comment barrage seen by Zuo Le on Goldfinger, most of the negative reviews are due to this.
The screenwriter wanted to deify Shang Yang, but he didn't know that Shang Yang's image in history was not particularly positive. Such a fierce attempt to "rectify chaos" would easily go too far, causing backlash.
Therefore, the major change Zuo Le made in the script of Shanhe's "Fission" was to eliminate this praising and belittling technique.
Although Shang Yang is admirable, the others are not just villains waiting to be slapped in the face by the protagonist.
Even the villains of the old family, including Lao Qianlong, had their own reasons for their actions. They initially opposed the new law. Although they were selfish, they were not completely unjust.
The Qin State is poor and weak and cannot withstand hardships. If the reform fails and its vitality is severely damaged, what will happen to the Qin State in the future?
Of course, in the later period, due to the relationship of interests, the two sides quickly turned against each other, and they became red-eyed and fought to the death. Let's talk about the other two.
The second question is to win.
I have said this before, the role played by Ying Si in "Fission" is not glorious, he is a villain.
This didn't matter when it came to the drama "Fission", but when it came to the second drama "Zong Heng", which focused on winning Si, a sinister monarch who stabbed people behind his back was not a pleasing image.
Especially the audience who watched "Fission", who were heartbroken by Shang Jun's martyrdom, turned to the second film "The Chief Culprit" and began to occupy the C position of Da Qin and denounce Fang Qiu.
Thinking about it makes me a little sick...
This is not unfounded worry, this happened in the original version.
Before the second part of "Zongheng" was released, many people had the impression that Ying Si was a scheming Ying, and the impression was very poor.
As a result, in the second part, in order to make Ying Si look more like the male protagonist, the character was directly changed, which made many old viewers who had followed the first part get away with it, and thus a lot of controversy arose.
It was not until later that the reputation of "Zongheng" was reversed due to its solid quality, and the audience became very fond of this "Qin King Wins the Si".
Since he knew the problem in advance, Zuo Le naturally would not delay solving it.
In addition, he is determined to make "The Qin Empire" into a series, and the characters and plots must be coherent, so Yingsi must make changes.
………
But it is not a simple matter to "whitewash" and win Si. This is directly related to the ending of "Fission".
The known result is that Shang Yang will die and his image will be noble.
So here comes the problem. Ying Si, Lord Qin, is the one who gave the direct orders, so he must be in the position of the villain. It is not easy to clean up a "villain" who kills the protagonist.
The character Ying Si in the original version of "Fission" has a deep mind. As early as when he returned to the position of prince, he was afraid of the powerful Shang Yang, but he was not murderous and just wanted to seize power.
Later, under the instigation of his uncle Ying Qian, he gradually adopted a hostile attitude towards Shang Yang, conniving at the attacks of the old family and Ying Qian, intending to defeat Shang Yang and take control of the Qin state.
However, Shang Yang's party defended Shang Yang. The strength displayed made him wary, and he increasingly added fuel to the flames to attack Shang Yang.
The edict left by Duke Xiao to Shang Yang allowed Shang Yang to establish his own territory. There were even rumors that Shang Yang could depose the king and establish a new one, which made Ying Si completely murderous.
As for the car crash, it was entirely based on the death of Shang Yang to plot against the old family, leaving a clue for later settlement.
Zuo Le had thought before that if Shanhe's version of "Fission" wanted to "whitewash" and win Si, he could only work on Shang Yang himself and the situation.
In holding this seminar, I also wanted to have a chat with the two actors about whether this approach was appropriate, or to see if they had any better ideas.
The current script is designed in this way regarding the plot related to Ying Si.
When Ying Si was a boy, he was deceived by the old patriarch and massacred innocent people, causing great chaos, which led to the eldest son Ying Qian and Shang Yang turning against each other, and he himself was exiled.
It can be said that Yingsi's appearance was very unpleasant, but after being punished, he wandered around the Qin State, got in touch with the lower-class life of the old Qin people, began to grow, and gradually understood the importance of reform to the Qin State***
The emperor's wife, Yingsi, respected Shang Yang very much. After the death of Qin Xiaogong, he had no intention of taking action against Shang Yang.
However, the situation in Qin at that time was too serious.
Years after the reform, Shang Yang had a long-standing feud with the old clan, the clan forces represented by Ying Qian, some military forces, and the princelings under Ying Si himself.
In the past, it was fine if the duke of filial piety suppressed him, but when he was newly established, his prestige was insufficient, and the contradiction between the government and the opposition immediately became apparent.
It can be said that except for Shang Yang's party, all the forces in the Qin State wanted to kill Shang Yang, including the confidants who Ying Si relied on.
Especially his two teachers, Ying Qian and Gongsun Jia, hated Shang Yang to the core. If Ying Si stopped him, there was no guarantee that these people would not be alienated from him.
What's more important is that the Qin State has just become strong and its monarch is changing. At this time, the two largest forces in the country will cause internal strife.
I am afraid that the strength of the Qin State will be greatly weakened, and other countries will come to take advantage of it, which may threaten to destroy the country.
At this time, hitting is not an option.
As long as a conflict arises, it will be a nationwide civil war, but it cannot remain in a stalemate, otherwise it will get out of hand sooner or later.
The only way is to let one side succeed.
The old family and other forces will definitely not give in. They are holding back to defeat Shang Yang, so Shang Yang plans to sacrifice his own self in order to achieve overall stability.
So he was ready to leave Qin. With him as a target gone, the old family members and others should calm down.
Therefore, Shang Yang "escaped" to the State of Wei, but was rejected by the State of Wei. He was planning to change his way to other countries.
On the way, they received news that the old clan had not given up. Shang Yang had left, so they attacked the new law and prepared to abolish it.
This time it touched Shang Yang's reverse scale.
This was the hard work of him and Duke Xiao and could not be invalidated, so Shang Yang returned to Xianyang.
At this time, Shang Yang was in a very difficult situation. He had to protect the law and maintain the stability of the Qin State, so as not to suffer major fluctuations.
However, Lao Shizu and others were aggressive, which once triggered a conflict between the Reform Party and Lao Shizu. Ying Qian took the opportunity to take action and imprisoned Shang Yang in the name of the law.
But this level made Shang Yang think of a way.
That is to protect the Dharma with death.
First of all, if he dies, Ying Qian and others will be avenged.
Ying Qian and Gongsun Jia had a personal feud. He was very loyal to Qin, and Ying Qian was also a supporter of Qin's law. If he died, the other party would try his best to be loyal to Ying Si and not attack the new law.
As long as Ying Qian and others don't cause trouble, and he takes care of Jingjian, Cha Ying and other reformers, the situation in Qin will be peaceful.
As for the old family, after their death, they will definitely continue to attack Qin Fa, but they will not be so fierce, which will provide a buffer opportunity.
Shang Yang planned to let himself die in the hands of the old clan. With his prestige in the Qin State, if he was killed by the old clan, the other party would definitely be devastated.
When the time comes, you will have Ying Qian and the support of the Reform Party, and it will be extremely easy to clean up an old family that has lost its support.
Shang Yang's only hesitation was whether Ying Si would obey Qin's laws. After receiving Ying Si's approval, he calmly committed martyrdom.
In fact, this version is almost the same as the original version. In the original version, Shang Yang was plotted and violated the national law. In order to achieve his ideal of the rule of law, he would rather die as a martyr.
There is also a theory that the chariot-breaking torture made the old people lose their hearts. It was just Ying Qian's idea to take revenge. Shang Yang knew it in his heart and went with the flow.
In the Shanhe version, in addition to being martyred to protect the law, Shang Yang also directly put Ying Qian's idea on him, and took the initiative to "die together" to plot against the old family and maintain the stability of the Qin State.
Compared with the original version of "martyrdom for the law", the ending adds a factor of Qin's sacrifice, and the personality charm is even greater.
And Yingsi also reluctantly bid farewell to Shang Jun, and settled down for two years. After the domestic situation stabilized and he regained power, he destroyed the old family in the second "Zongheng" and avenged Shang Yang.
In this way, Ying Si's image will be much more likable, and he can even avenge Shang Yang, and he can quickly attract fans and win many things with one fell swoop.
