More than half of the episodes of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" have been broadcast, and in terms of ratings, word-of-mouth and Internet popularity, although it is not as popular as "Wulin Gaiden", it is also very impressive.

It's even a bit beyond Zuo Le's imagination.

He thought that "Six Groups of Serious Cases" might do well, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

According to Dongshantai's estimate, "Six Groups of Serious Cases" is likely to break 2 in the end, even if it can't be broken, the average rating of 1.8 is basically not a big problem.

The Douhua score is relatively stable, has been up and down 8.5~8.6, with more and more people scoring, it is estimated that even if there is a change, the amplitude will not be too high.

The success of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" can be regarded as a good start for the transformation of the Shanhe project, and with the previous "Seven Swords", these two dramas can prove that in addition to producing sitcoms, Shanhe can also play other types of themes.

At the same time, there is another person who has been "reborn" because of "Six Groups of Serious Cases", that is, director Kong Sheng.

Before Kong Sheng was in the mountains and rivers, his sense of existence was not very high, and he was even a little embarrassed.

When Zuo Le set up the project "Six Groups of Serious Cases" and was about to use Kong Sheng as the director, many high-level officials of Shanhe expressed opposition, but later Zuo Le supported it, and Kong Sheng got his wish.

Now that "Six Groups of Serious Cases" has been a great success, Kong Sheng has finally raised his eyebrows, and at the same time, his status in Shanhe has skyrocketed.

In the past, although Kong Sheng was known as the third director of Shanhe, in fact, among the four directors of Shanhe, except for Zuo Le and Gao Xinjian, he and Xue Jun did not have a very high status, not to mention the high-level, even some middle-level people were more effective than them in the company.

Not anymore, though.

Kong Sheng has become one of the pillars of the company with "Six Groups of Serious Cases", although it is still temporarily inferior to Zuo and Gao, but no one dares to underestimate it easily.

Even Yan Kui, the second-in-command president of the company, now sees Kong Sheng, and has to politely call Kong Dao to show respect.

Kong Sheng didn't get lost in the sound of "Kong Dao", he made a brief adjustment, and then rushed to Hei Province by plane.

.........

On March 18th, the main scenes of "Breaking through the East" in the Golden Field have basically been filmed, and the rest are scattered shots.

Li Youbin has already finished and left, and Zuo Le will stay for a day or two at most, and he will also move to the forest farm to shoot the scenes of Zhu Chuanwu and Xian'er.

Zuo Le was still very happy about Kong Sheng's sudden arrival, and specially took him to the city to invite guests to dinner, which was not only to catch the wind, but also to celebrate Kong Sheng's good results in "Six Groups of Serious Cases".

In the city, a hot pot restaurant

Zuo Le, Kong Sheng, and Guan Rong, the production director who accompanied them, and the two assistant directors asked for a private room, ordered a mandarin duck pot and a lot of side dishes, and chatted while eating.

Although the spring equinox has passed, the weather in Hei Province is still considered a cold winter, and it is still very refreshing to eat hot pot around in this weather.

Zuo Le Shabu took a few slices of mutton, dipped the dipping sauce into his mouth, gave a hot breath, and chewed it after a while.

After his addiction, Zuo Le looked at Kong Sheng: "I heard Mr. Yan say, do you want to make a new drama?"

Kong Sheng swallowed the shrimp slip in his mouth, nodded and said: "In terms of the later publicity and distribution of "Six Groups of Serious Cases", there are companies staring at it, and I don't have much work here, so I want to make a new play." ”

Zuo Le's chopsticks tapped the dishes and asked, "Do you have eyebrows?"

Kong Sheng replied: "I went to the screenwriting department two days ago and took a fancy to a script, which I thought was quite interesting. ”

"Screenwriting Department Script ......"

Zuo Le thought for a while: "There are only a few scripts that have not been approved yet, you will definitely not shoot "Family with Children 4", I booked "Magic Mobile" myself, and I guess the old merchant also told you."

Then there are only two scripts left, let's say, do you fancy "The Great Dyeing Workshop" or "Don't Talk to Strangers". ”

Kong Sheng rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed: "Actually, I like both scripts, but I don't think you will agree to me eating alone, so I want to shoot "Don't Talk to Strangers". ”

"Huh?"

Zuo Le was a little puzzled by Kong Sheng's choice, because although the quality of the two scripts was good, there were still high and low.

Among them, "The Great Dyeing Workshop" is obviously slightly higher in terms of plot and audience, and the plot of "Don't Talk to Strangers" is somewhat surreal, and the overall style is niche.

It's okay to take out the two TV series lists, but if you compare them together, I believe that most people will choose "Big Dyeing Workshop".

And now that Kong Sheng is doing the opposite, Zuo Le must be puzzled.

Everyone is not an outsider, Zuo Le asked directly if he had any doubts in his heart, Kong Sheng didn't hide it, his reason for choosing "Don't Talk to Strangers" is very simple, that is, the subject matter is real.

may be out of personal preference, Kong Sheng has always liked this kind of film and television with realistic themes since his debut, from his debut film "Police" to his famous work "Six Groups of Serious Cases".

He was able to give up "The Great Dyeing Workshop" and take a fancy to "Don't Talk to Strangers", which is an important reason.

In addition, there is another reason, he is not the only one staring at "The Great Dyeing Workshop", Gao Xinjian and Xue Jun have long taken a fancy to this book, but for various reasons, they have not made a move.

In addition, there is a rumor in the screenwriting department that "The Great Dyeing Workshop" was prepared by Zuo Le for himself, and he planned to direct it himself, and even the male protagonist was decided.

I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but it is rumored to have a nose and eyes, Kong Sheng pondered for a while, and felt that there was still no need to fight with "The Great Dyeing Workshop", and it was not bad that "Don't Talk to Strangers" was filmed.

Of course, there is no need for the latter to talk to Zuo Le, Kong Sheng only said that he likes the script "Don't Talk to Strangers".

Since it is Kong Sheng's personal preference, Zuo Le doesn't say anything, and each has his own eyes, which is the most illogical but also the most convincing reason.

Kong Sheng's directing level has been proven in "Six Groups of Serious Cases", and Zuo Le is still relieved to let him shoot "Don't Talk to Strangers".

However, Zuo Le also put forward a request, that is, the male and female protagonists An Jia and the actors with Mei Xiangnan must be assigned by him.

Although Zuo Le is the boss, Kong Sheng did not nod rashly, but asked Zuo Le's actor candidates, and decided in his heart that if he did not meet his requirements, even if it was Zuo Le's requirements, he would fight for reason.

However, Zuo Le didn't give Kong Sheng a chance to argue with reason, and threw out two names lightly, which immediately made Kong Sheng fall into thought.

Yu Entai, Yin Li.

Hearing these two names, Kong Sheng's first reaction was that Lu Xiucai beat Guo Furong.

Tsk, isn't this the good reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao?

But when he calmed down, Kong Sheng felt that the two actors Zuo Le chose better.

First of all, not to mention the acting skills, both of them are good actors, and the more rare image and temperament are also very in line with the roles in the play.

Especially Yu Entai, who usually looks like Sven on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is a violent maniac, and his contrasting personality is very dramatic and conflicting.

Moreover, the second cooperation between Lu Xiucai and Guo Furong, the popular CP, is also a good selling point for the TV series, at least there is no shortage of attention, and after the plot is broadcast, it is estimated that the discussion will be considerable.

The more Kong Sheng pondered, the more he felt that these two actors were suitable, and finally couldn't help but give Zuo Le a thumbs up.

"Yes. ”
