Chapter 137: Mountains and Rivers Edition "Six Groups of Serious Cases" (2-in-1)
For these two new projects on Shanhe, Zuo Le's main concern is "Six Groups of Serious Cases".
And "The Story of the Health Team 2" not only has the foundation of the first part, but also can rub off on the popularity of the sister chapter "The Story of the Cooking Class".
Even if the original team is missing, the grades may drop, but it will not be much worse.
Moreover, because Xue Jun, the director of "The Story of the Health Team 2", is one of the directors of the first part, there is no director change, resulting in the risk of the sequel-style plot not collapsing with the previous work.
Therefore, the upper limit of "The Story of the Health Team 2" is not easy to say, but the lower limit is quite high.
Because of this, Zuo Le did not put too much energy into this drama, but let the production department of Shanhe Pictures take charge of it.
The person in charge of the production department clearly stated that he personally named the producer of "The Story of the Health Team 2", and sent two producers and two deputy producers to follow the team.
This is also a new attempt made by Zuo Le to explore the future film and television production operation mode of Shanhe Pictures.
With the expansion of the entire basic plate of Sunward Pictures, it is impossible for Sunward to work only around a crew directed by Zuo Le.
In the context of Sunward's continuous project of new dramas, the company's production department has also begun to gradually turn to systematization, and the professional trend of Sunward's film and television production process is imperative.
According to Zuo Le's vision, in the future, Shanhe will set up a film and television project, and the responsibilities are roughly divided into two parts, one is content creation, and the other is financial funds.
The director is responsible for the content creation, while the producer is responsible for the financial aspects, both of which are supervised by the production department.
To put it bluntly, this mode of operation is still the same as that of the local and central governments.
A crew is divided into two forces, the director is in charge of shooting, and the producer is in charge of money, and the two sides are balanced and controlled, but there is still a production department supervising it.
The separation of powers guarantees the interests of the company to the greatest extent possible.
"The Story of the Health Team 2" is the first pilot of this mode.
If it is feasible, the mountains and rivers will set up projects in the future, and they will all operate according to this model, including Zuo Le's own preparation crew.
Of course, it is difficult to say whether the producer and the production department will dare to scare the boss at that time.
This is also a major disadvantage of this mode of operation, that is, there are two bugs: Zuo Le and Gao Xinjian.
Zuo Le doesn't need to say much, as the boss and pillar of the company, his crew is working to death every day, and the producer and production department don't dare to say more.
As the veteran of the company, Gao Xinjian and the boss of the production department clearly said that he was the only two generals under Zuo Le at the beginning of the establishment of Sunward.
Not to mention his deep qualifications, the key Gao Xinjian also holds the big IP of "Family with Children", and has a close relationship with most of the mountain and river artists (empty literature department) and has a wide range of contacts.
Gao Xinjian is the director, and the company has no producer who dares to blow up with him, even if it is the production department, only the boss can talk to him clearly.
So this pattern is difficult to apply to the left and high body big.
On the contrary, Kong Sheng and Xue Jun, these two are newcomers to the mountains and rivers, and their waist board is insufficient, the producers can work with them on an equal footing, and the production department can also suppress them.
Regarding this drawback, Zuo Le knew it in his heart, but he didn't care about it.
The essence of this model is to try to implement it in the future for the expansion of mountains and rivers, the increase of directors, and the large-scale establishment of new dramas, as long as it is suitable for most of the crew and directors, there are only one or two "fish that slip through the net", which does not hinder the overall situation.
It's really not good, you can also let Ming Yan, the boss of the production department, go into battle in person, or he, the boss, can come forward.
............
"The Story of the Health Team 2" went to the pilot, and "Six Groups of Serious Cases" was temporarily watched by Zuo Le himself.
Zuo Le attaches great importance to this drama, because this is the first independent new IP of Shanhe that is not directed by him.
Before that, the TV series made by other directors of Shanhe were deeply involved with Zuo Le.
Gao Xinjian's "Family with Children" Part 2 and 3 is the sequel to Zuo Le's "Family with Children 1", and Xue Jun's "The Story of the Health Team" is the sister chapter of Zuo Le's "The Story of the Cooking Class".
It can be said that the success of these two series is more or less stained with the light of Zuo Le's works.
And this time "Six Groups of Serious Cases" is different, except for Zuo Le who gave a script outline and a few casting opinions, director Kong Sheng is responsible for all the others, and Zuo Le himself has not much influence and traces in this drama.
If "Six Groups of Serious Cases" can be successful again, it proves that Shanhe does not rely on the sequel of Zuo Le's works and related TV series to the TV series, and the independent new original IP can also be recognized by the audience.
The status of Shanhe in the industry is different, and it will transform from a "studio company" with a strong personal atmosphere to a diversified film and television production group.
At that time, the word "mountains and rivers" was not just a joke............
is related to the "transformation" of Sunward Pictures, and Zuo Le's attention to "Six Groups of Serious Cases" can be imagined.
From the beginning of the script creation, he had many discussions with the screenwriting team and director Kong Sheng, and after several revisions, he finally decided on the completion of the script of the Shanhe version of "Six Groups of Serious Cases".
Compared with the original version of the film and television player in Zuo Le Brain, the script of the Shanhe version of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" has changed very much.
The first is the time setting of the script, which is mentioned 18 years from the beginning of the century, and the background of the story is also placed in Quancheng, that is, the criminal investigation detachment of a bureau in Quancheng has six groups of serious cases.
The actor Da Zeng, the backbone of the six groups, the character setting is a police veteran, who values love and righteousness, has been handling cases on the front line for many years, has rich experience, is very familiar with all aspects of the land, black and white, and is a different kind of police officer with a very "market flavor".
Male No. 2 Zheng Yimin, the leader of the sixth group of serious cases, is witty, cheerful, has a very strong sense of responsibility, loves the members of the sixth group very much, and is the big brother of the sixth group.
Male No. 3 Jiang Han, who used to be a soldier and has first-class marksmanship, although his body is a little fat, his foundation is still there, and he is the armed force of the six groups.
Male No. 4 Huang Tao, a rookie who has just been separated, follows the big brothers to learn and exercise.
The heroine Ji Jie, known as the first police flower in Quancheng, has a bold and capable personality, clear love and hate, jealousy and hatred and not gentleness, and is a very attractive female character.
Female No. 2 Bai Lin, like Huang Tao, is a new force in the sixth group, with excellent professional knowledge and an outgoing and lively personality, and is the group pet of the sixth group.
These six roles are the main roles of the crew of "Six Groups of Serious Cases", and the other police colleagues, criminals, and the masses have few scenes, except for a few supporting roles with slightly more scenes, the rest are basically cameos and group performances.
This is a bit similar to a sitcom, they are all unit-oriented, one case at a time, and the last few episodes of the main line break out in the middle.
Speaking of cases, the original "Six Groups of Serious Cases" cannot be copied because of the background of the times.
Not to mention, smartphones and electronic payments alone can make a small half of the case illogical.
Therefore, except for a few original cases that are not hindered by the era, most of the cases in the Shanhe version of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" are Zuo Le who found someone to contact a few Dongshan police leaders, and after obtaining authorization, he got some internal real cases in recent years, and then processed and adapted them by the screenwriting department for the second time.
In addition to obtaining the authorization to adapt the case, Zuo Le also took advantage of this to get in touch with the top management of the Dongshan police.
When these leaders heard that Shanhe was going to make a TV series with the front-line police of Quancheng criminal investigation as the protagonists, they were very interested and gave great support.
The crew of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" can go in and out of the Quancheng Police Station to shoot some shots, the Quancheng Criminal Investigation Team assigns consultants to the crew to solve difficult problems, uses some non-sensitive police equipment, dispatches special police to assist in filming, and so on.........
Such support was rare even in the eighties and nineties and early centuries.
And in this era, except for a few directors or officially supported projects, it is impossible for ordinary crews to have this treatment if they want to be blind.
Zuo Le was able to get such a big support, mainly because Shanhe was the focus of the high-level support of the cultural industry in Dongshan Province, and the judicial side also had to give some face.
In addition, the leaders of the Dongshan Police do value Zuo Le, a director and wizard who has produced countless hit dramas, and feel that if "Six Groups of Serious Cases" becomes popular, it will be a good publicity channel for them to be the entire Dongshan police system.
Coupled with the fact that Dongshantai helped to make peace, the combination of many reasons contributed to the current result.
Zuo Le is very reasonable, seeing this situation, he simply took out two shares of the crew of "Six Groups of Serious Cases", one percent was given to Dongshan Station, and one percent was given to Dongshan Police Department.
"Six Groups of Serious Cases" has two more production units, and the confidence is harder, and the scale is more or less relaxed than that of ordinary criminal investigations.
............
Zuo Le fought for these treatments and supports, and director Kong Sheng's tears of emotion came out.
It's not that he hasn't filmed a police-themed TV series, Kong Sheng's debut is called "Police", and now it is compared with "Six Groups of Serious Cases", which can be called heaven and earth.
Kong Sheng admired Zuo Le's five-body throw, and he felt that if he didn't make "Six Groups of Serious Cases" badly, it would be a great crime.
Zuo Leke didn't know Kong Sheng's thoughts, these days, while he was busy with the post-production of "The Story of the Cooking Class 2", he also ran to the crew of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" from time to time to give advice to Kong Sheng.
Now, the crew's preliminary preparations are basically in place, and the only thing that can't keep up with the progress is casting.
The six protagonists of "Six Groups of Serious Cases", in addition to the three actors of Da Zeng (Fan Min), Zheng Yimin (Zhou Binbin), and Jiang Han (Jiang Chao) mentioned in the full text above, Ji Jie, Huang Tao and Bai Lin have no suitable candidates for the time being.
Among them, Huang Tao and Bai Lin are okay, just find two relatively good young actors, but the heroine Ji Jie is a little tricky.
This capable No. 1 police flower in Quancheng is not only the heroine in the play, but also the sergeant of the main plot, with a lot of highlights, and she eats acting skills, and ordinary actors are afraid that they will not be able to hold it.
In the past few days, Kong Sheng has read a lot of information about actresses, but he just thinks it is inappropriate, and the assistant director who is responsible for selecting actors almost picks a child.
However, Zuo Le still understands Kong Sheng very well, and he has also done things that have been tossed for a long time for a role.
If a TV series, the screenwriter and script are the skeleton, and the director and behind the scenes are the internal organs, then the actors are the flesh and skin.
The actor is found, white and beautiful, handsome and handsome, if something goes wrong, it is disfigurement.
A disfigured TV series, no matter how good the skeleton and internal organs are, the audience thinks it is an unsightly ugly monster, and ignores its pretty good connotation.
So, whether it's TV or film, casting is crucial, not to mention the main character and key characters.
Are there still few tragic examples of a rat poop in the entertainment industry breaking a pot of soup, a lesson from the past, a teacher of the future, you can't help but be vigilant.
With Zuo Le's support, Kong Sheng was able to continue to find his favorite Ji Jie.
And Huangtian lived up to his wishes, and with Kong Sheng's continuous efforts, he really found a suitable candidate.
Wang Qian, Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, graduated from Beijing Film Academy, has worked as an actor, screenwriter, and director and filmed several commercials, an absolute all-round talent.
However, she has not made a big name in these professions, although there is no shortage of jobs, but there is no chance of promotion, her career is tepid, and her situation is a bit like the previous Xue Jun, and it is even slightly worse.
After all, Xue Jun is in Kongwen, and he is still a director with works, and Wang Qiangan's most outstanding professional actor has just been able to touch the edge of the third line.
Compared with Xue Jun's status in the circle, it is not half a star.
The reason why Kong Sheng fell in love with her was because of a TV movie called "Anti-Drug Storm", in which Wang Qian played a policewoman, heroic, bold and shrewd,
This image hit Kong Sheng at once, and he felt that this was the Ji Jie he was looking for.
Kong Sheng immediately contacted Wang Qian, Wang Qian was negotiating a new movie at this time, when Kong Sheng first came to the door, Wang Qian was not very interested, after all, TV series and movies are not at the same level.
But after learning that "Six Groups of Serious Cases" was Zuo Le's script and that she was the heroine, Wang Qian pushed the movie without saying a word, and packed up her things and rushed to Quancheng that night.
This woman is so decisive that even Zuo Le can't help but look sideways.
After Wang Qian came, she didn't have any objections to the salary and script, but she made a request to Kong Sheng, that is, she wanted to be an assistant director in the crew and didn't want to be paid.
Wang Qian, who has been an advertising director, has some experience as a director, so it is not a joke to let her be an assistant director.
Besides, the assistant director of the crew has always been one more, not too much, and no less than one, and there is no need for additional investment, Kong Sheng slapped his thigh and agreed to Wang Qian's request.
After Wang Qian joined the group, the other two actors, Huang Tao and Bai Lin, were also quickly found.
The person who plays Bai Lin is a junior in the Chinese opera school, who is beautiful and has acceptable acting skills, so there is no need to say more.
And the actor who plays Huang Tao is worth saying a few more words.
This person's name is Zhang Ze, he was recommended by Sha Yi, he is his senior brother in military arts, he worked in a literary troupe after graduation, and he just retired recently, and was pulled by Sha Yi to the mountains and rivers.
Zhang Zechang is not handsome, but he is very recognizable, with thin eyebrows and small eyes, rich facial expressions, and very solid acting skills.
Soon after coming to Shanhe, he relied on the audition to defeat a group of opponents, grabbed the corner of Huang Tao, and at the same time successfully entered Zuo Le's eyes and was listed as a key observation object.
————
ps: Actually, I originally wanted to change the role of Wang Qian (Wang Qian) and find a more well-known actress, and by the way, pave the way for the future plot.
But later checked the information and found that this "Officer Ji" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he can be regarded as the soul of this drama.
"Ji Jie of iron fighting, six groups of flowing water" is not talking about playing, I changed her, I always feel that there is no taste, so after consideration, I still respect the original version (this paragraph does not charge money)
