The Tan Bing Yew family has been operating in Malaysia for nearly 100 years, and there is still some energy in the local area.

Under his recommendation, Zhang Yida met with Rohanna Rojan, CEO of Malaysian Astro Group.

Zhang Yida, as the richest man in Asia and the boss of the world's largest unicorn company, is quite famous, and on behalf of the soon-to-be-established Rocket TV, he has easily finalized the cooperation with the Astro Group.

ASTRO Group is Malaysia's leading platform for digital media such as TV, OTT, and radio, serving 5.7 million households in Malaysia, accounting for about 76% of the total number of households in Malaysia.

Astro has many channels, including the Cantonese channel Huali Channel, which cooperates with TVB, Huanxi Channel, which only speaks Hokkien, and there are seven or eight Chinese channels alone, and the Miss Chinese beauty contest is held on the TV station every year.

In the early years, Chinese in Malaysia watched TVB, and in recent years, they have also begun to watch domestic TV series such as "Ruyi" and "Dajiang Dahe".

Of course, Malaysia itself will also shoot TV dramas played by Chinese or Malays.

In addition to Chinese TV programs and variety shows, TV stations also broadcast Chinese news, and there are Chinese schools in Malaysia.

In terms of the sense of identity with Chinese culture, Malaysia is the first among overseas countries.

Under the preliminary cooperation agreement, the dramas and variety shows produced by Astro will be launched on Rocketa.

At the same time, the Rocket Video brand channel will also be added to the ASTRO TV channel.

The first stop selected by Rocket TV to go overseas is Malaysia, and a video playback A will be launched.

In order to start this first shot, Rocket TV also decided to cooperate with Astro to shoot a TV series - "Nanqiao Mechanic".

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government retreated to the rear of the Southwest, and in order to transport international aid, military supplies, raw materials for industrial production and the daily necessities of the people in the rear, it built the famous "Yunnan-Burma Highway" in history, and Kunming was a vital artery leading to Yangon Port in Myanmar.

Mr. Tan Kah Kee, the leader of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, after learning that the motherland needed a large number of car drivers and repair personnel, issued the "Announcement No. 6 of the Overseas Chinese Association", calling on young drivers and mechanics among overseas Chinese to return to China to participate in the war of resistance and fight together with the country.

In 1985, the Yunnan Provincial Government built a "Nanqiao Mechanics Anti-Japanese Monument" in Xishan, Kunming, which was 9 meters high and marble veneer.

In order to commemorate those overseas Chinese who resolutely returned to China to serve the motherland's anti-Japanese war.

The inscription on the monument reads: "There were more than 3,000 overseas Chinese mechanics who returned to China to serve that year. More than 1,000 people died in the war, car accidents and illnesses, and more than 1,000 returned to their countries after the war, while the remaining 1,000 remained. There are fewer than 100 survivors ......".

According to statistics, almost half of the materials and equipment of the squadron during the Anti-Japanese War were transported through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and the cars transporting these materials were driven by Nanqiao mechanics and other drivers.

Overseas Chinese in Nanyang still made a great contribution in the War of Resistance Against Japan, whether it was donating money and materials, or sending the children of the clan back to China to participate in the war.

filming this TV series, in addition to waking up the minds of the people who are used to watching anti-Japanese dramas in China, there is also a part of the target group that is aimed at Southeast Asian Chinese.

After returning to China, Zhang Yida found Kang Honglei, the director of "My Leader, My Group", and hoped that he would direct this TV series.

After Kang Honglei read the script, he looked like he wanted to say something.

Zhang Yida smiled and asked, "Director Kang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly!"

If you don't think the budget is enough, we can add it. I wanted the effect of planes covering the sky and bombs falling like dumplings.

Of course, trucks can't run like Fast and Furious.

If you really want to shoot like that, what's the difference between it and the kind of TV series that shoots devils with bows and arrows.

On the premise of respecting history, we will restore that history to a high degree. ”

Kang Honglei nodded, "Mr. Zhang, I know what you said."

The key is that this drama involves the fruit party, and the upper side has to be filmed, right?

I'll be honest with you, "My Leader, My Regiment" has set a lot of restrictions. ”

Zhang Yida took a breath of cold air, this thing really needs to pay attention to the scale, and it can't beautify the fruit party.

Otherwise, if it is filmed, it will be taken off the shelves for you or it will not be released.

"This is no problem, I will submit the script to the relevant departments first, and we will shoot it after it is approved.

With such a big investment, I definitely still hope that the TV series can be released, and I have to bubble up at the worst, right?"

Kang Honglei was entangled in his heart, he was a person who had suffered losses.

If it weren't for the fact that the script and story were really good, it wasn't the kind of bad street goods, and it might be popular in Southeast Asia, he really didn't want to take on this kind of shooting task.

It took a lot of energy, and in the end it couldn't be released, which was really thankless.

Kang Honglei gritted his teeth, "Okay, just shoot, but you have to worry more about communicating with the above." ”

Zhang Yida nodded, "That's no problem, but I still have to explain more to you about content shooting." ”

Kang Honglei has a headache, and what he hates the most is that the boss gives him instructions and limits the scope.

The coal boss only said that he would pack a female No. 1 and a female No. 2, and Internet capital was the most difficult to serve.

Various big data audience portraits, target group analysis...... Over the years, I have heard many other directors complain.

Zhang Yida smiled, almost knowing what Kang Honglei was frowning for.

explained: "Don't worry, I only mentioned this once, and I will never interfere with the specific shooting." ”

Okay, listen to your opinions.

Kang Honglei straightened his body and looked like he was listening.

Zhang Yida said: "The Chinese in Southeast Asia are a special group, and in that era, they served the motherland, which must be a little different from those born and raised in our own country.

I mean, it's different from domestic anti-Japanese dramas, you have to shoot something different.

From the characters' dialogues, demeanors, costumes and even ideas, they must fit the background, era and people at that time.

It is said that many people on the highway at that time could recognize the Nanqiao mechanics at a glance and were impressed by them.

Because they are always more particular, especially their hair is always meticulous, educated, and dignified, and one-third of them are recruited by the locals of Yunnan Province as Chenglong Kuaison-in-law.

From the departure by boat from his hometown in Southeast Asia, to the bad road conditions faced during the transportation, there were also aircraft bombing in the sky, and finally the Yunnan-Burma highway was completely blocked, and the Nanqiao mechanics were disbanded and started a family in the local area......

You don't need a superhero, just a transportation job, and there is no chance of a single soldier god of war who kills and kills.

It's about a group, not just one or two main characters.

Because each of them has a different life, some died in wars and car accidents, some returned to Southeast Asia, and some started a family in Yunnan Province. ”

Kang Honglei's eyes lit up when he heard this, isn't this tailor-made for me.

If you change to other directors, who dares to shoot like this, if you don't give the protagonist a little hanging, you will definitely hit the street.

"Okay, no problem, Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean. This is the multi-line narrative method and group portrait character creation of American dramas. ”

Zhang Yida nodded, that's what he meant.

"Oh, and also, I'm going to learn the HBO way, the plot is tight, it's stacked, it's best to keep 10-20 episodes of short episodes. ”

Kang Honglei frowned, "It's so short, it's not easy to tell the story well, it's a great test of the skills of the hands, and there is no precedent to follow." ”

Zhang Yida said with a smile: "It is inevitable that online dramas will become high-quality and short dramas in the future.

There is no precedent, so we will be the first to eat crabs. ”
