The background of "Family with Children" on the left page is set in Quancheng, and the timeline is 17 years.
Liu Mei is the head nurse of a department in a large hospital in Quancheng, and Xia Donghai is a director and screenwriter who has returned from overseas. He serves as the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Quancheng Youth" and is also the director and screenwriter of children's dramas.
The two of them have a good income and can be considered middle class. Otherwise, they would not be able to afford a high-quality life for their three children. They also own a house with 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and 2 bathrooms in the center of Quancheng City.
Um………
Zuo Le originally wanted to reduce the number of assets of the Xia family, but then he thought about it. Parent-child education sitcoms are mainly about parent-child education and daily life.
Instead of worrying about the short-term interests of those parents and salary loans, it is a bit putting the cart before the horse, and the audience does not want to see it, so we simply blur this aspect.
The main plot of the first part of "Family with Children" is about Liu Mei and Xia Donghai, who are also divorced, reorganizing a new family with their children, and the process of colliding with each other in daily life. During this period, some parent-child education and
social factors.
This left version is roughly the same as the original version, but based on the plot of the original version, the left version has additionally dug into the plot of school education and children's learning.
The plot of the original version of "A Family with Children" is not far from reality, but it is somewhat idealistic, and overall it is a bit more like Western liberal education.
Of course, this is not to say that this kind of education is wrong, but it is not in line with China's national conditions. Anyway, Zuo Le himself didn't have a sense of involvement, so he advocated adding some such plots, which can be regarded as an experiment.
If the effect is good and resonates with the audience, similar plots will be added to the next few films. The three children of the Xia family will be promoted from elementary school to junior high school, high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, art students, poor students, key middle schools, university aspirations, postgraduate entrance examinations...
There are countless articles that can be made in this, and Zuo Le even feels that as long as the audience still watches and conditions permit, he can make "Family with Children" into a long series with thousands of episodes.
In the play, the three children graduate, work, fall in love, start a business, talk about getting married, start a family and start a business, and continue their offspring... until Xia Donghai and Liu Mei are sent away.
Uh, that's a bit far.
The most important thing now is to film the first part of "Family with Children" and then look at the results. If the results are not good, let alone a feature with thousands of episodes, even the second part will be terrible.

Changqing Film and Television Base, "Family with Children" Studio
After filming a scene, Zuo Le announced that the actors would take a short break. He asked Gao Xinjian to point out how to move the actors. At the same time, he did not forget to scold Zhang Shan and You Haohao who wanted to run to the dining table and steal some props.
Because there are a lot of dining scenes in "Family with Children", Zuo Le specially hired a professional chef to cook for the crew in order to reflect Liu Mei's excellent cooking skills.
Unexpectedly, the chef we hired was so good that a group of actors wanted to steal props every day.
Especially the children, who are at the age where they are greedy. As long as there is a meal scene, they will stare at the dining table, causing Zuo Le to knock on it from time to time to remind them.
After a while, Zuo Le explained clearly the key points of Gao Xinjian's movements and asked him to contact the actors to start walking.
As mentioned before, Zuo Le intended to cultivate Gao Xinjian's directorial abilities, so this time when filming "Family with Children", Zuo Le often delegated power to Gao Xinjian to communicate with the actors. Sometimes, he even directly let Gao Xinjian take charge of some simple shooting scenes.
Mirror and supervise by yourself.
Under Zuo Le's tireless guidance and teaching, Gao Xinjian's directing ability increased day by day, and he became more and more director-like. Zuo Le also took it easy and gave up to Gao Xinjian when he encountered suitable opportunities.
Now, "Family with Children" has been in production for more than a month. Except for the first half month, director Zuo Le was in control and stabilized the situation of the crew.
As time went by, the actors in the crew were getting better and better, executive director Gao Xinjian gradually gained authority in the crew, and Zuo Le began to want to hide behind the scenes.
In addition to strictly controlling the quality of the filming content, most other aspects were left to Gao Xinjian to handle. Song Changying once complained about Zuo Le, saying that he was more like a producer than a director on the crew.
Zuo Le didn't care after hearing this. As long as the film was well shot and sold well, it didn't matter who the director was. He even had plans in his mind for the second film to promote Gao Xin Xin.
But whether it will be co-directed with myself or Gao Xinjian will direct it independently depends on Gao Zai's performance in the first part.
Seeing Gao Xinjian seriously teaching Yang Qing, Zhang Shan and other actors about the shooting arrangements, Zuo Le smiled happily and slowly walked to the dining table, secretly picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, and quietly threw it into his mouth.
inside.
Well, it is indeed delicious...

For Zuo Le, who has already filmed three sitcoms, "Family with Children" is indeed difficult to arouse his interest.
Especially after experiencing the collision of acting skills of Kong Wen's group of treasured actors, Zuo Le was really uncomfortable watching the green acting skills of a group of young people.
Fortunately, the protagonists performed well. Gao Xinjian, Song Changying, and Lin Yongjian were proficient in business and had superb acting skills. Although the two children Zhang Shan and Yang Qing did not have very exciting acting skills due to their age, they were better because they were full of aura.
A brilliant performance.
Especially the little girl Yang Qing, who is worthy of being the youngest Golden Phoenix Award winner for Best Supporting Actress, with amazing potential.
There was a scene in the play where Xia Xue felt aggrieved and cried silently when her father Xia Donghai had a heart-to-heart talk with her stepmother Liu Mei because she had just come to the house.
Zuo Le originally thought that this scene was a bit difficult for an 11-year-old child, and wanted to ask Song Changying to help guide it.
Little did he know that this little girl didn't need it at all. She burst into tears as soon as she spoke, her mouth slightly pursed, and she looked at her father Xia Donghai with hazy eyes. The feeling of being wronged and unconvinced suddenly came out.
The whole audience was immediately stunned.
Song Changying even said directly that this little girl will definitely become a heroine in the future.
In comparison, Zhang Shan's performance was also very good, but more of it relied on his own personality that fit well with Liu Xing's role, and he acted in his true colors, unlike Yang Qing who relied entirely on her own acting skills to interpret the role of Xia Xue.
Zuo Le was so attracted to such a good prospect that he thought of signing Yang Qing to his company.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qing's parents feel that their daughter is too young and may not develop in the entertainment industry in the future, so they have no plans to sign a contract with an entertainment company for the time being.
Zuo Le asked Zhang Shan and You Haohao again. The answers from the two families were similar to those of Yang Qing. However, the parents of a child who played the role of Xia Xue wanted to sign a contract with Shanhe, but Zuo Le felt that this child had little potential and was not interested in it, so he gave it to him.
Declined.
In October, most of the filming of "Family with Children" was completed. Gao Xinjian gradually grew up and was able to take on most of the directing work. Zuo Le began to gradually withdraw his energy from the crew of "Family with Children" and focus on the next new drama.
PS: After thinking about it, there is really nothing to write about the filming of "Family with Children", so I will skip it and put the scenes after it is broadcast.
