Chapter 240: The director also looks at the face
Kong Sheng's preparation to withdraw from the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series is not a secret in Shanhe.
As early as the beginning of the preparation of "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2", Kong Sheng talked to Zuo Le and several high-level officials of mountains and rivers.
The reason is similar to Zuo Le's non-filming of the sequel to "Family with Children" and "Seven Swords", he is unwilling to limit himself to a certain drama all the time, and he has been eating his old books and indulging in his comfort zone, which leads to rigid thinking and inability to progress.
Gao Xinjian: I always feel that I have been connotated.........
Kong Sheng, as the general of the company, insisted on this, and Zuo Le, the boss, was not easy to force, so the matter was decided.
However, since Kong Sheng was going to withdraw, the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series had to find a suitable director to be in charge, and Kong Sheng strongly recommended Wang Qian at that time.
even took the initiative to express his willingness to co-direct "Serious Case Six Group 2" with Wang Qian, clearly wanting to help Wang Qian.
However, the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series is a key project of mountains and rivers, Wang Qian has no experience of independent directing before, Zuo Le did not rashly take Kong Sheng's suggestion, and only let Wang Qian serve as the executive director of "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2" on the grounds of investigation ability.
Then, Zuo Le chatted with Wang Qian, and there was nothing to hide, so he explained the matter directly.
"Serious Case Six Group 2" is a test for Wang Qian, with a good performance, she has a chance to take over Kong Sheng's class, and her performance is average, and she will ask Gao Ming to be on the Shanhe side.
For Wang Qian, who is an aspiring director, it is a godsend to have the opportunity to direct the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series.
She is not a famous director, and she is resistant to the so-called "leftovers".
"Six Groups of Serious Cases" is a certain mature IP, and it has broad prospects, so a fool will push such an opportunity out of the door.
As long as he can sit in the position of director and accumulate qualifications, what is it to make a sequel, Gao Xinjian is also from a sequel background, and now he is not a famous director in the circle, who dares to look down on him.
Wang Qian's mentality is maintained very well, and she is determined to make achievements in the crew of "Serious Case Six Group 2", and add points in front of Zuo Le and Shanhe executives.
After Kong Sheng knew about this, he also intended to fulfill it, not only personally instructed and taught Wang Qian some shooting skills, but also relegate his power and let Wang Qian dominate most of the filming tasks of the crew.
This is very similar to the original filming of "Family with Children", Zuo Le's exercise Gao Xinjian, and the effect is also outstanding.
During the filming of "Serious Case Six Group 2", Wang Qian's directing ability has improved by leaps and bounds, reaching Zuo Le's psychological bottom line.
Zuo Le did not break his promise, and nodded in agreement with Wang Qian to take over the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series.
To tell the truth, although Wang Qian's ability is good, it is only good, with the resources and connections of mountains and rivers, she can find a better director than her.
And the reason why Zuo Le finally chose Wang Qian is mainly because she is one of the few people who know the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series best.
This is not a joke, Wang Qian not only played the heroine Ji Jie in "Six Groups of Serious Cases", served as the assistant director in the first part, and was the executive director in the second part, and even participated in some screenwriting work, actors and behind the scenes She has participated in important work.
rashly found a director from outside, who may have a lot of experience in directing ability and experience, but to shoot "Six Groups of Serious Cases" well and grasp the style and highlights of this drama, Zuo Le is more optimistic about Wang Qian, who "occupies many positions".
In addition, there is another reason, "Six Groups of Serious Cases" is a series focused on created by Sunward, and the company's internal expectation is to shoot more than five films, and if the results are still stable, even more will be filmed.
Therefore, this requires the loyalty and stability of the successor director, if the director is changed every day, no matter how good the drama is, it will have to be scrapped.
From a long-term perspective, Wang Qian is a rookie director, which is more suitable for Sunward to cultivate and support, and more importantly, she is a newcomer, which will not threaten the status of several old directors of Sunward, which is conducive to maintaining internal unity.
Don't think that directors won't fight, in fact, they are competing more fiercely than artists, scripts, projects, funds, artists, etc., these are all resources that directors need, how can they not fight.
At present, the mountains and rivers are calm, mainly because there are fewer people and more meat, everyone can share it, and there is Zuo Le, an industry giant, is shaking, so it is safe.
Adding a new director will not threaten the status of Kong, Gao, and Xue for the time being, if you invite a famous director, the downhill tiger will meet the sitting tiger, and there will be trouble.
It's not easy to be a boss, and Zuo Le is really heartbroken sometimes............
............
However, unexpectedly, the change of director of the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series did not arouse much repercussions.
Although Kong Sheng is now known as a famous director, his fame is more limited to the circle, and ordinary audiences really don't know this name.
On the contrary, it is Wang Qian, with the role of Ji Jie, her status among the fans of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" is not low, she is the director, and many people express their support.
This result made Zuo Le slightly surprised, he thought it would arouse strong resistance from the audience, and specially contacted Kong Sheng to prepare an explanation, but the result was all useless.
Kong Dao was a little sad.
He had heard that when "Family with Children 2" changed directors, Gao Xinjian was scolded a lot, and the audience and fans took turns to protest and make trouble for a while.
Some time ago, the director of "Seven Swords 2" also caused a lot of turmoil, why is it his turn now, and the audience agrees very happily.
More or less howl two sentences, it's okay to express reluctance!
Zuo Le still felt quite embarrassed, and he didn't know how to comfort him, after all, everything he said seemed to show off.
Tsk, the director also looks at the face, who made us look handsome.........
The diversion incident did not affect the broadcast of "Serious Case Six Group 2", which may be the reason for those well-known cases, and its ratings have soared.
More than halfway through the episodes, the average rating successfully broke 2, and by the time it was 30 episodes, the ratings exceeded 2.2.
"Serious Case Six Group 2" only has 36 episodes, and there are three days left, and the ratings breaking through 2.5 is enough.
But surpassing Kong Sheng's highest rating record - "Don't Talk to Strangers" 2.31, there is a lot of hope.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the Douhua score of "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2" has decreased compared with the premiere, at 8.6 points, but it is still 0.1 higher than the first part.
Although the score is only a little higher, "Serious Case Six Group 2" has almost all praises on the Internet, especially the bold restoration of last year's well-known cases in the play, which has won the praise of many viewers and netizens.
The main reason why the score is not high is probably because of the increased suspense and detective color, and some viewers feel that "Six Groups of Serious Cases", as a police professional drama, does not need to add these additional elements.
Of course, if there is opposition, there is support, and there are many viewers who are in favor of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" incorporating some detective colors, which has also become an important topic of discussion and debate in the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series.
How to choose the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series after that depends on Wang Qian, the new director............
