After getting started, Lu Xiaoran completely understood the responsibilities of a TV series director.

The so-called director, in fact, the most critical part of the work is to complete the coordination of various departments and direct each department to carry out the work according to the director's intentions.

"Latent" is not a big crew of hundreds of people, Jiang Weiyong is also an old acquaintance who has cooperated in several plays, and the cooperation between various departments is skillful, many times, Lu Xiaoran, the executive director, has not conveyed Jiang Wei's intentions, and the scene has been completed...

TV dramas generally pay attention to rapid production, and the content is also chatted by two people non-stop.

Limited by the small screen, the shooting method is basically a close-up or close-up cut, so the catch of the TV series is in the play, the play is good, and the bad point of the performance doesn't matter...

Many audiovisual language skills can only be seen on the big screen!

The quality of TV dramas depends largely on the screenwriters, and the director can only take a back seat in many creative aspects and become the overseers to ensure production efficiency.

If you continue to do this, it is easy to turn film and television creation into a job.

Work: Take the process of film and television creation as clocking in to work, standard production, dedication, and leaving after work.

People who do the work don't go out of their way to get 90 points, but they don't do it below 60 points, and if they can maintain 70-80 points, they are very satisfied.

Work is an inevitable thing born under the rapid development of the film and television industry, and in the early years, Hong Kong even made movies live.

Many TV dramas in the mainland like to invite Hong Kong directors, because after experiencing the peak period of TVB, Hong Kong directors are simply able to grasp the operation of work, where to laugh, where to cry, where to fight, where the plot should be turned, the rhythm is just right, although the TV series filmed is not a high-quality product, but it will not be bad.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei is a screenwriter, and he has a certain sensitivity to his works...

Of course, the luckiest thing about "Latent" is that the group of people you find are responsible!

If you take a closer look, you can see that the props are set up carefully!

It's really a restoration of that era!

The actors also work hard...

Nothing particularly weak!

In most film and television dramas, the actor's performance is called visible to the naked eye, and the reason why Song Qian is said is because she has not undergone systematic training and does not know what the audience's acceptable performance is...

It is necessary to live in the film and television industry, after all, this is a huge film and television industry system, and commercial projects can be completed quickly!

In the film and television industry, there are only a small number of geniuses and a large number of ordinary people, which in itself is the way things are.

......

In 2007, on January 14, the last filming of "Latent" ended, and the crew was finished.

On January 15, Lu Xiaoran packed her luggage and returned to Beijing.

I went to a dinner that night.

Li Ming's arrangement can be regarded as his dust-washing banquet!

The dinner was arranged at a private restaurant.

In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, this kind of thing is more and more exquisite, at the beginning of the emphasis on a pomp, I can't wait to go to a high-end restaurant to order all the most expensive and best things, to show their identity, but now, really high-grade and tasteful people, but like to come to this kind of private restaurant.

After all, a place that only receives a few tables of guests a day is more face-saving when you say it.

"I really can't imagine that Mr. Lu is actually from Xi'an, and the Sichuan dialect is okay!"

The person who sat next to Lu Xiaoran and said this sentence is called Zhang Guoli...

He's the person Lu Xiaoran wants to see tonight...

Lu Xiaoran smiled and replied: "There are only a few lines in the main one, I am in "Stone", and what I am talking about is Gangpu!"

"Gangpu... Yes, yes, Gangpu!"

Li Ming poured Zhang Guoli a glass of wine, then looked at Lu Xiaoran and asked, "This time "Border Storm"..."

"I must be speaking Mandarin this time, and I don't even have a few lines!"

"How did you come up with the idea to make up such a story?"

"I watched "Perfect World" and thought it was interesting to portray a criminal who was not so bad..."

"Perfect World", which tells the story of a kidnapper and a hostage, is a classic movie directed by Eastwood.

"Border" is very similar to "Perfect World" in terms of character structure...

Zhang Guoli asked with great interest: "Then aren't you worried that this film won't pass the review?"

“... No, "Infernal Affairs", "Black and White Road", and "Black and White Battlefield" can all be filmed, it doesn't make sense that I will talk about a criminal with a little humanity, so I won't let me shoot it?"

Zhang Guoli shook his head: "I want to change it!"

“... How to change it?"

"Add a little violent shot of the protagonist, he can't be beautiful!"

Lu Xiaoran looked at Xing Aina, who proposed: "Add a scene of him raping Xiao An after drinking, so that the relationship between the two is not so harmonious..."

Xiao Ann is the daughter of a dentist...

Selling degree + bow although violent women, such a character, even if it is humane, no one will sympathize!

Lu Xiaoran thought for a while: "But in this case, will the audience hate such a protagonist?

"Don't think about the market first, live first!"

Lu Xiaoran looked at Li Ming with a weak heart, and the latter was very angry: "It's okay, it's good if it can be released, the first play, I don't expect to make money, but the reputation must be good!"

Investors have no opinions, what other opinions can Xiao Luzi have?

......

Zhang Guoli wants to play the dentist...

"Director Zhang, I grew up watching your plays, an artist like you, being able to come, is to support the crew, I personally welcome it!"

Lu Xiaoran is very complimentary...

But in my heart, I scolded and bloomed...

Damn, it's not easy to do!

During this time period, it was the time when Ji Xiaolan was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Zhang Guoli played the dentist, which...

It will make the audience play!

Also, his salary...

Zhang Guoli is definitely a first-line actor in the mainland, and the dentist is the leading actor, how much is the appropriate salary?

"Mr. Lu, you just have to rest assured, in terms of salary, I don't take a penny, I just like this script!"

"Don't, you're too polite, a few of you here are seniors, don't scold me, just call me Xiao Lu. Teacher Lu or something, I really don't dare to be..."

"Haha, I also feel awkward, then you can call me Uncle Zhang!"

"Uncle Zhang..."

Li Ming also laughed: "Don't worry about the production cost, your Uncle Zhang also invested one million!"

Lu Xiaoran glanced at Zhang Guoli, what do you say, this person, don't look at him, he always bows his waist slightly when he speaks, and his shoulders are shrunk, as if he is a laid-off worker, but his status in the film and television industry is there.

To be more accurate, Zhang Guoli was the first person in this circle to realize that being an actor will never make money as an investor.

It should be in the 90s, Zhang Guoli made his own production and filmed the series of TV series "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview".

It's just that the rule in the circle at that time was contracting, that is to say, if a person does a production and contracts a TV series, the investor will only contribute part of the money, and the excess part needs to be funded by the producer himself, and if there is a surplus at the time of settlement, it is the producer's profit.

I didn't have much experience for the first time, although "Kangxi" was a big hit, but because of overspending, he didn't make any money, and later when it came to "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", he learned to be obedient, brought some funds into the group, and then participated in later sales, and then began to make money...
