After the celebration of Dongshantai, Zuo Le immediately devoted himself to the production of "Family with Children".

The first is the script creation of "Family with Children".

The first part of the original "Family with Children" has a total of 100 episodes, but one episode is only about 20 minutes, which is equivalent to half an episode of an ordinary TV series.

This is a common pattern for many sitcoms, and it is said that it is to make it easier for TV stations to insert commercials in between.

The same is true of the original "The Story of the Cooking Class", a plot is roughly maintained at about 20 minutes, and occasionally if it can't be finished in 20 minutes, it becomes "two episodes" up and down.

However, it may be to take care of the convenience of TV stations to buy broadcasts, many sitcoms choose to combine two "half episodes" into one, and add a cutscene in the middle as a distinction, and the overall duration is close to that of ordinary TV dramas.

Therefore, when Zuo Le first set up the script of "Family with Children", he learned from the experience of "The Story of the Cooking Class", and directly combined 100 episodes in two, and the number of episodes was controlled at around 50 episodes.

In April, Zuo Le completed the post-production of "The Story of the Cooking Class" and returned to Shanhe Pictures to participate in the script creation of "Family with Children".

At that time, Shang Qianwu had already completed the script outline of the first 30 episodes with a group of editors in the editorial department, Zuo Le took a look, except for a few episodes with flaws, most of the rest were above the level.

Zuo Le was very satisfied with the work of the editorial department, and with a wave of his hand, all of them were given bonuses that month.

After that, Zuo Le and Shang Qianwu had a clear division of labor.

Shang Qianwu took two editors to improve and fill in the first 30 episodes of the script approved by Zuo Le according to the outline, and Zuo Le took the remaining screenwriters to write the remaining 20 episodes.

Up to now, the outline of the 50 episodes of "Family with Children" has been completed, and the script of the first 20 episodes has basically taken shape, and it is expected that by the end of June at the latest, the first draft of the script of the entire drama will be completed.

Zuo Le was also able to spare some of his energy to deal with other preparations for the crew.

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

In the past, when he was in Dongshan Terrace, with the help of Lao Fang and Chen Fatzi, Zuo Le, the director, only needed to be responsible for selecting actors and content creation, and he didn't need to worry about many other miscellaneous things.

It wasn't until now, when Zuo Le became his own boss, and the producer, producer, and director shouldered each other, that he understood that it was so troublesome to form a crew.

Fortunately, Zuo Le still had Mingyan, an all-rounder, to help, and later called the assistant director Gao Xinjian in advance, and Chen Fatzi also came over for two days, and finally got the crew's preliminary work on the right track.

It was also because of this incident that Zuo Le felt that his energy alone was really limited, so he began to slowly delegate power to the bottom.

Mingyan is smart and capable, sleek and thoughtful, Zuo Le asked him to be the producer of "Family with Children".

Gao Xinjian, the assistant director, was promoted to the executive director of the crew, and took part of the filming work on top of his original responsibilities.

When filming "The Story of the Cooking Class" before, Zuo Le found that Gao Xinjian was very talented as a director, so he intended to cultivate it, after all, it is impossible for Shanhe Pictures to be the only director to film, and it is necessary to cultivate fresh backbones internally.

In fact, Zuo Le's original intention was to cultivate the two together.

Helplessly, although he knew a lot and learned a lot, his talent as a director was really not high, so Zuo Le simply asked him to change careers to become a producer.

Fortunately, he is smart and has many years of experience as an assistant director, so he is very familiar with the operation of the crew, and he can get started quickly with the work of the producer, and his work is like a decent one in a few days.

To put it bluntly, this guy is a natural assistant to do logistics.........

After promoting Gao and Ming, Zuo Le found two good seedlings from the company who looked good, and put them in the crew of "Family with Children" as assistant director and drama manager, as a follow-up talent reserve.

June 1st, Children's Day

Zuo Le issued his own bib and publicly cast for the new drama "Family with Children", mainly for children aged 7~12.

"Family with Children", as a sitcom with family and parent-child as the main line, has a large number of child characters in the play.

Not to mention the cameo characters who appear in a single episode, there are no less than ten permanent characters alone.

Summer rain, summer snow, summer hail...... Ahem... It's Liu Xing, as well as Xia Xue's two classmates (I forgot their names), Xia Yu's classmates Duoduo and Er Fat, and Liu Xing's keyboard and mouse.

With so many children's characters, it would be difficult for Zuo Le to find them by himself.

Therefore, Zuo Le plans to have an open casting and encourage parents to bring their children to audition.

Anyway, there are a lot of characters in the play, and you can't get the starring role and supporting role, and you can't get the supporting role and cameo, so there are many opportunities.

With the success of the last time, Zuo Le's fame is much louder than before, and the casting of his new drama has naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Soon after Zuo Le's scarf was released, news appeared on the Internet, and those actors who were good friends with Zuo Le also forwarded it one after another, and Dongshan Station also helped promote it on its own channels.

The results of this open casting are very good.

Many parents who want to watch their children on TV, or feel that their children have acting talents, have called Sunward Pictures to register, and according to the registration requirements, sent more than five minutes of videos of their children's self-introduction and talent performances to Sunward Pictures' official mailbox.

In just one week, Shanhe Pictures has received 800+ videos, and the number is constantly increasing, and several administrative and crew members who are responsible for the preliminary review are dreaming of children singing at night when they review the videos.

After brushing down some children who are not of the right age, whose Mandarin is not standard, who are introverted, and whose image conditions do not match, the remaining more than 200 children advance to the next round.

The crew sent Gao Xinjian and a screenwriter to form a second-instance team to interview the more than 200 children who were promoted through video calls, and then brushed off more than 100.

Most of the remaining children have some acting talent.

Articulate clearly and express yourself fluently.

Bold, not shy, and able to perform in front of strangers.

Good memory and can remember lines.

Be obedient and don't cry and make a fuss.

Sunward Pictures contacted these parents and asked them to bring their children to the location of Sunward Pictures for auditions.

If passed, you can assign a role directly.

If it doesn't pass, Sunward Pictures will also reimburse the round-trip expenses and give small gifts.

Seeing that victory was in sight, parents could not give up at the last step, and almost all those who received the audition notice, no matter how far or near, rushed over with their children.

Zuo Le personally presided over the audition, and executive director and starring Gao Xinjian, co-screenwriter Shang Qianwu, producer Ming Yan, and Chen Weidong, the acting training teacher invited by Zuo Le, were all present.

Parents lead their children in to have a look.

Wow –

Heiteng, Lao Liu, Lao Jiu, one Captain Jia, and the people from the Anqiu Intelligence Agency are all together.

However, this group of Japanese pseudo-traitors who are notorious in Anqiu are still very kind to children, all of them are gentle and gentle, and their smiles are kind and kind.

After two days of auditions, several people were about to grin into Maitreya Buddha.

However, although the cost is severe, the gains are also outstanding.

A number of children's supporting roles and cameos have almost been selected, and Xia Yu, one of the three children's protagonists, has also been selected.

The child who was selected to play Xia Yu is named You Haohao, 8 years old this year, a fat little fat man with a cute appearance, and has participated in commercials several times.

Zuo Le and Shang Qianwu felt that this little fat man was quite in line with the setting of Xia Yu in the play, and asked Chen Weidong and Gao Xinjian again, and as soon as they met, they finalized the younger brother of the three sisters and brothers.

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

After this public casting, the child actors of "Family with Children" are almost complete, and the only two are Xia Xue and Liu Xing.

Among them, Xia Xue and Zuo Le already have a preliminary candidate in his heart, which is Xiao Yang Qing, who won the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Phoenix Award before.

This girl is amazingly talented and full of aura, and the role of Xia Xue should not be a problem for her.

Zuo Le has already asked people to contact Yang Qing's parents, and the other party's feedback is very positive, if there is no accident, Yang Qing is very likely to act.

As for the last Liu Xing, Zuo Le has no clue for the time being.

This role is very important in "Family with Children", it is the laughing point in the play, Zuo Le has watched many children, and he always feels dissatisfied.

The Liu Xing he wants is the kind of child who is full of wit and skin, but not annoying.

This is not easy to grasp, let alone have some acting experience, and it has to be a 10~12-year-old boy.

Zuo Le vaguely felt the bitter feeling of looking for Captain Jia again............
