Chapter 84: A Thousands of Episodes (2/3)
The left version of "Family with Children" is set in Quancheng, and the timeline is 17 years.
Liu Mei is the head nurse of a large hospital in Quancheng, Xia Donghai is a director and screenwriter who has returned from overseas, serves as the editor-in-chief of "Quancheng Youth" magazine, and is also the director and screenwriter of children's dramas.
The two of them have a good income, and they are considered middle-class, otherwise they can't afford the high-quality life of their three children, and they also have a 4-bedroom, 2-living room and 2-bathroom house in the center of Quancheng.
Well.........
Zuo Le originally wanted to reduce the number of assets of the Xia family, but then he thought about it, the sitcom of parent-child education is mainly parent-child education and daily life.
is not entangled in those parents' shortcomings and salary loans, which is a bit of putting the cart before the horse, and the audience doesn't want to watch it, so they simply blur this aspect.
In the first part of "Family with Children", the main plot is that Liu Mei and Xia Donghai, who are also divorced, take their respective children to reorganize a new family, and collide with each other in daily life, bringing out some parent-child education and social factors during the period.
This is roughly the same as the original version, but the left version is based on the plot of the original version, and has dug into the plot of school education and children's learning.
The plot of the original "Family with Children" in this regard is not said to be divorced from reality, but it is somewhat idealistic, and the overall meaning is a bit Western liberal education.
Of course, it's not that such an education is wrong, but it's not quite in line with the national conditions of China, anyway, Zuo Le doesn't have a sense of substitution in his own eyes, so he advocates adding some such plots, which can be regarded as an experiment.
If the effect is good and can resonate with the audience, there will be similar plots in the next few parts, the three children of the Xia family are promoted to junior high school, high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, art students, poor students, key middle schools, university volunteers, and graduate school entrance examinations.........
There are countless articles that can be done, and even Zuo Le feels that as long as the audience still watches it, and the conditions permit, he can make "Family with Children" into a series of thousands of episodes.
In the play, the three children graduated, worked, fell in love, started a business, talked about marriage, started a family, and continued the offspring......... until Xia Donghai and Liu Mei were sent away.
Uh, that's a bit far.
Now the first thing is to shoot the first part of "Family with Children", and then look at the results, the results are not good, not to mention thousands of episodes, even the second part is enough to appear.

Changqing Film and Television Base, "Family with Children" studio
After filming a scene, Zuo Le announced that the actors would take a break for a while, and he pulled Gao Xinjian to instruct the actors on how to move them, and at the same time did not forget to scold Zhang Shan and You Haohao, who wanted to run to the table to steal props.
Because there are a large number of dinner scenes at the table in the play "Family with Children", Zuo Le specially invited a professional chef to be responsible for cooking for the crew to shoot in order to reflect Liu Mei's good craftsmanship.
As a result, I didn't expect the chef I invited to be so good that a group of actors wanted to steal props every day.
Especially a few children, who are at the age of greed, as long as there is a dinner scene, they will stare at the dining table, and Zuo Le will have to beat them from time to time to remind them.
After a while, Zuo Le explained the key points of Gao Xinjian's position clearly, and asked him to contact the actor to start walking.
As mentioned above, Zuo Le intends to cultivate Gao Xinjian's directing ability, so this time when filming "Family with Children", Zuo Le often delegated power to Gao Xinjian to communicate with the actors, and sometimes for some simple shooting scenes, he directly asked Gao to take charge of the camera and supervise it himself.
Under Zuo Le's unremitting guidance and professorship, Gao Xinjian's directing ability is increasing day by day, and he is becoming more and more director-like, Zuo Le is also happy to relax, and he will give Gao Xinjian a suitable opportunity.
Now "Family with Children" has been on for more than a month, except for the first half month, Director Zuo Le has great power and stabilizes the crew.
After a long time, the state of the crew and actors is getting better and better, and Gao Xinjian, the executive director, has gradually gained authority in the crew, and Zuo Le is a little bit of a seclusion behind the scenes.
In addition to strictly controlling the quality of the filming content, most of the rest of the aspects were handed over to Gao Xinjian to deal with, and Song Changying once complained about Zuo Le, saying that he was like a producer and a director in the crew.
Zuo Le doesn't care after hearing it, as long as the filming is good and the money is sold, it doesn't matter who the director is, and even he already has a plan in his heart to promote the second part of the new high-ranking position.
However, whether he will co-direct with himself or Gao Xinjian will direct independently, it will depend on Gao's performance in the first part.
Watching Gao Xinjian seriously instill Yang Qing, Zhang Shan and other actors with the arrangement of shooting for a while, Zuo Le smiled with relief, slowly slipped to the dining table, secretly picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, and quietly threw it into his mouth.
Hmm, it's delicious.........
............
For Zuo Le, who has already filmed three sitcoms, it is indeed difficult for "Family with Children" to arouse his interest.
Especially after experiencing the acting collision of Kongwen's group of treasure actors, Zuo Le is really a little uncomfortable to watch the young acting skills of a group of small raw melons and eggs.
Fortunately, several protagonists played well, Gao Xinjian, Song Changying, Lin Yongjian are skilled in business and superb in acting, although Zhang Shan and Yang Qing are two children because of their age, their acting skills are not very exciting, but they are full of aura and occasionally have bright performances.
Especially Yang Qing, a little girl, is worthy of being the youngest Golden Phoenix Award for Best Supporting Actress, with amazing potential.
There is a scene in the play, because Xia Xue has just come to the house and is resistant to her stepmother Liu Mei, when her father Xia Donghai talks to her, Xia Xue feels aggrieved and tears silently.
Zuo Le originally felt that this scene was a little difficult for an 11-year-old child, and wanted to ask Song Changying to help guide him.
How do you know that this little girl doesn't need it at all, tears will fall, her small mouth is slightly pursed, and she looks at her father Xia Donghai with hazy tears, and the feeling of being wronged and unconvinced came out all of a sudden.
The audience was immediately amazed.
Song Changying even shouted bluntly, this little girl will definitely be able to become a corner in the future.
In comparison, Zhang Shan's performance is also very good, but he still relies more on his own personality and Liu Xing's role too much, and belongs to his true colors, unlike Yang Qing, who relies on his own acting skills to interpret the role of Xia Xue.
For such a good seedling, how did Zuo Le look at it, so he had the idea of signing Yang Qing to his company.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qing's parents felt that their daughter was too young and might not always be developing in the entertainment industry in the future, so they had no plans to sign a contract with an entertainment company for the time being.
Zuo Le asked Zhang Shan and You Haohao again, and the two replied that they were similar to Yang Qing, but there was a parent of a child who played Xia Xue's classmate who wanted to sign a contract with Shanhe, but Zuo Le felt that this child had no potential and couldn't look down on it, so he politely refused.
In October, most of the filming of "Family with Children", Gao Xinjian gradually grew up and was able to take on most of the directorial work, Zuo Le began to gradually withdraw his energy from the crew of "Family with Children" and put it on the next new drama.
