Jin Province, a city

Zuo Le was wearing a down jacket, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at the large old village down the slope, he couldn't help nodding, and turned his head to Guan Rongdao, who was promoted to producer again.

"Nice place, how to find it. ”

In late November, the outdoor temperature in Jin Province was not high, Guan Rong rubbed his hands, and replied: "My little brother happened to live nearby, saying that there was such a deserted village, and no one lived in it for many years, so he took a photo and sent it to me to see."

found that most of them are stone walls and tile houses, as long as those that do not match are eliminated, with a little repair, it will almost look like the countryside during the Anti-Japanese War.

How about the chairman, if you think it's okay, I will contact the person in charge and prepare to rent land and build a landscape. ”

"Yes, I'll ask Professor Sun to come over and take a look, point out your drawings, and don't make jokes for me. Zuo Ledao.

"That's a good idea, Professor Sun is a professor of history at the University of Tokyo, and with this big hand, he guarantees that he can't make mistakes. ”

Guan Rong knows that his boss has a bit of detail control, especially this kind of biased drama, he must invite some experts to come to the crew as consultants, this new drama is not bad, before "Breaking through the Guandong" almost got a group of scholars.

took the camera and took a few photos, Zuo Le, Guan Rong and a few entourages went down the mountain, and on the way, Zuo Le asked about another scene.

"Is the scenery of the county seat connected, okay, in the ancient city of Pingxian County, but it is all cultural drama over there, and it is estimated that we have to set up the scenery ourselves. Guan Rong replied.

"What do you want, we must have to build it ourselves. ”

Zuo Le laughed angrily at Guan Rong's words: "The ancient city of Pingxian County is a world cultural heritage, and the scene of playing peace is both guns and cannons, even if it is fake, I don't dare to greet it on the ancient city, something goes wrong, I have to let people scold to death." ”

"Then Ping'an, do you plan to put it here in Jin Province, or go back to Dongshan?"

"Jin Province, anyway, it's a city wall and street, the cost is not high, let's finish filming the war scene directly here, it's easy to schedule, and then shoot in Dongshan in the later part of the Military Academy." ”

"Okay, I'll start preparing right away, the crew will start filming after the year, and the time is definitely enough. ”

"Well, in addition, you also have an eye on costumes and props, especially firearms, find an expert to come over, don't make jokes about the Type 95 submachine gun fighting devils. ”

"Understood, I'll get back in touch. ”

“.........”

Zuo Le and the two talked all the way, walked to the bottom of the mountain, drove the car to the deserted village again, and returned to the hotel, Zuo Le planned to go to the ancient city of Pingxian tomorrow to have a look, if there was no problem, the day after tomorrow would turn back to Dongshan.

The rest will be taken care of by the producer.

Guan Rong is actually very capable, although he made some mistakes in the crew of "Breaking through the East" before, and was handed off by one level.

But there are benefits to suffering, since that incident, Guan Rong has acted more cautiously and thoughtfully, and has a more comprehensive consideration of the problem, he himself has a thick foundation, such an "upgrade" quickly stood out from the producers of Shanhe.

Soon after "Crossing the Kanto", he was promoted from director of production to co-producer.

This time, Zuo Le was preparing for the new drama "Bright Sword", and Guan Rong was allowed to participate in the project and served as the first producer under the express words of the chief producer, which can be said to be highly used.

That's right, it's "Bright Sword", Zuo Le has finally extended his claws to anti-Japanese war dramas after sitcoms, period dramas, martial arts dramas and fantasy themes.

Speaking of which, Zuo Le can be regarded as a director from the Anti-Japanese War drama.

Not to mention his first work "Underground Traffic Station", Zuo Le was in the Dongshan TV Production Center that year, whether it was writing scripts as a screenwriter or as an assistant director and team, more than 65% of the projects he participated in were anti-Japanese war dramas.

For fighting devils, Zuo Le has feelings.

He also thought about making a high-quality anti-Japanese war drama one day, but he didn't have a good script.

It wasn't until after the broadcast of "Breaking the Guandong" that Zuo Le's new drama "Bright Sword" was launched, and after Zuo Le watched it overnight, he was as addicted as Kong Jie.

Then he began to write the script, and the project was prepared before the filming of "Magic Mobile".

Now the preliminary work of the crew of "Bright Sword" has been on the right track, and it is expected that filming will start after the Spring Festival.

............

Zuo Le's perception of Guan Rong is not bad, obedient, sensible, and conscientious, and he can be regarded as a relatively handy tool man under his hands.

Most of the work in terms of logistics and scenery was handed over to Guan Rong, and Zuo Le saved a lot of heart.

Back at the hotel, Zuo Le said goodbye to Guan Rong, came to his room, and turned on the TV casually, and the picture happened to be a local station replaying "Breaking through the Guandong".

Seeing Zhu Kaishan, who was teaching his son on TV, Zuo Le's expression moved, and he took out his mobile phone and called Li Youbin.

"Hey, Mr. Li, I'm Zuo Le, have you finished reading the script of "Bright Sword"?"

"Hahaha, I'm done. ”

Li Youbin's hearty laughter sounded in his ears: "Director Zuo, I took this script, I like this Li Yunlong more than Zhu Kaishan." ”

After listening to it, Zuo Le couldn't help but quip: "When you gave you the script before, you still shouted that you won't shoot winter scenes with me anymore, but now it's really fragrant." ”

"It's really fragrant, it's really fragrant, and the play is good. ”

Li Youbin and Zuo Le collaborated on a "Breaking through the Guandong", and they are quite familiar with each other, and they don't care about Zuo Le's ridicule, so they replied with a big grin and asked again.

"Director Zuo, it's not that I'm asking blindly, if you don't mind, I want to ask who the two characters Zhao Gang and Chu Yunfei are looking for, these two characters have a lot of rivalry with Li Yunlong, and I have points in my heart. ”

Since he is an old acquaintance, Zuo Le also trusts Li Youbin, and besides, this is not a secret, there is no need for him to hide it from Lao Li.

"Chu Yunfei, I'm looking for Teacher Zhang Bei, who is Lu Bu from the classic version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", do you know him?"

"I know Lao Zhang, we also filmed together a few years ago, he is an old actor, his acting is very imposing, Lu Bu can hold it, and there is no problem in playing Chu Yunfei. ”

Li Youbin was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect to meet an old friend.

"As for Zhao Gang, I won't tell you, I haven't thought about it for the time being, but there are two candidates preliminarily, one is your third son Yu Entai (Zhu Chuanjie), and the other is Bao Xiaoyong, who has played the shopkeeper Sun in "Underground Traffic Station".

The acting skills of the two actors are fine, but the image and temperament are a little inconsistent, I want a resolute and elegant Zhao Gang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome face, and he looks decent.

So it's not officially decided yet, it's still being casting, and if you have a suitable candidate, you can also recommend it to me. ”

"Resolute and elegant, with thick eyebrows and big eyes......... No problem, I'll help you keep an eye out for it, and I'll tell you when it's appropriate. ”

Li Youbin is still very interested in Zhao Gang, this is the actor he plays the most in the script, and he naturally hopes that the other party is an excellent actor.

Everyone cooperates and complements each other to play better.

After talking about Zhao and Chu, Zuo Le also introduced Li Youbin to his two daughters-in-law in the play.

Xiuqin - Yan Ni.

Tian Yu - Wan Qian.

"Bright Sword" is a big male lead play, and the role of Xiuqin is said to be the heroine, but there are not many scenes, and Yan Ni's appearance can almost be regarded as a semi-cameo.

At first, Zuo Le also wanted to make up another pair of "male and female protagonists after the emperor", so he found Yan Ni, and he didn't have much hope, but when Yan Ni read the script, she felt that the role of Xiuqin was very outstanding, so she immediately responded.

As for Wan Qian's performance of Tian Yu, the main reason is that Zuo Le fell for the beauty scheme.........

Don't get me wrong, it's not Wan Qian, it's her best friend Tian Yan.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Boss Tian was poured into, but she called Wan Qian, her best friend, a good one, and when she saw that there was a suitable role, she began to give Zuo Le a beauty plan.

Zuo Le eats people... soft, plus Wan Qian and Tian Yu are also more in line, so the decision was settled.

A charming Yan Ni.

A handsome and intellectual Wan Qian.

In terms of appearance alone, Lao Li's Yanfu index is more than one level higher than the original.........

ps: Solicit opinions on the casting of Bright Sword, and it is best to give priority to the actors who appear in the book

(Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei and two daughters-in-law remain unchanged, and one of the Iron Triangle is Lin Yongjian)
