Chapter 221: The Spectator's Harvest

In the evening, under the sunset, this small town in the suburbs of Shanghai, imitating the architectural style of the Republic of China, looks very quiet.

On the tree-lined path, Peng Yichen jogged slowly, stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground, looking at the usual and beautiful autumn scenery around him, and felt very comfortable.

At this time, three and a half months have passed since he broke away from the plot world of "Red".

After such a long time of shooting, the time has come to mid-August.

"Red" will be finished tomorrow, and the crew will leave the town.

Before leaving, he wanted to run around the town again, as he had done every morning for more than three months.

Play a set of Xingyi boxing in the beautiful scenery of the town, and then recall the things you experienced in "Red".

is completely different from all previous plot world experiences, this time Peng Yichen has completely given up control of the protagonist of the TV series "Xu Tian" since he entered the plot world.

Originally, he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the will of the plot world didn't stop him from doing so at all, and it seemed that he was still encouraging him to try it.

So, as a bystander sleeping in Xu Tian's mind, he followed Xu Tian through that war-torn era, as well as Xu Tian's love with Fuli and Tian Dan, his mother's affection, and his friendship with Tie Lin and others.

What he didn't expect even more was that in this plot world, he was basically experiencing and feeling Xu Tian's life and various choices as a bystander.

But when he came out of the plot world, he actually won the evaluation of "drama spirit" for the first time.

You must know that before this, he had only received the highest evaluation of "drama bones".

Such a high evaluation made him understand a lot of things.

He thought he was just a bystander, but in fact, in the world of "Red", he was actually truly one with Xu Tian.

Each person's personality and soul are shaped through different life experiences.

Peng Yichen used to do things according to the plot development area in the plot world, or do things as he wanted.

In fact, he is controlling another person's life, and the life in the plot world will never become his own life.

On the contrary, this time, he was just a bystander the whole time, but unintentionally, he slowly integrated into Xu Tian's life, and finally separated from this man.

This is the best gift that the plot world gives him.

Of course, after receiving the evaluation of "drama essence", Peng Yichen was not only able to obtain the complete life memory of Xu Tian in 20 years, but also obtained Xu Tian's three top skills.

"Super Observation" (Advanced), "Super Logical Reasoning" (Advanced), "Warm Masculine" (Grandmaster)

Although he didn't know why the skill of "warm masculinity" could reach the grandmaster level, Peng Yichen was very satisfied with these three skills.

Because of his excellent observation and logical reasoning skills, he can not only become an excellent spy officer, but also be very useful for an excellent director and screenwriter.

Peng Yichen is an actor after all, and what he wants to pursue most is to be a great actor.

So when it comes to directing and writing writers, he doesn't want to share too much energy.

Now with these two skills, he will be able to improve his directing and screenwriting skills more easily in the future.

It was a bonus.

And that warm male temperament is also of great help to him to play the role of a sullen man like "Xu Tian". can even help him, when his acting skills are only in the second realm, and occasionally show the level of acting skills that can only be shown in the third realm.

Although, when he came out of the plot world, the will of the plot world told him that this kind of bystander welfare was only available for the first time. In the future, he must rely on himself and fully integrate into the corresponding characters in the plot world in order to obtain the high evaluation of this "drama essence".

But only this time what he gained in the "Red" TV series has far exceeded his initial expectations.

You must know that when he learned that Chang'an Film Studio cooperated in the filming of TV series, he actually flashed countless classic TV series from his previous life in his heart.

The reason why we want to choose a spy war TV series during the Anti-Japanese War is to consider that Chang'an Film Studio is the best at shooting this kind of work during the Anti-Japanese War.

At the same time, Peng Yichen himself was not sure to shoot that kind of grand war scene.

So on the whole, shooting spy war films during the Anti-Japanese War is the most suitable choice.

But why "Red"?

Judging from the popularity of the ratings in the previous life, when "Red" was broadcast on the stars, the ratings were extremely low, and it can be said that few people watched it.

From the perspective of word-of-mouth and classicism, TV series such as "Latent", "No War in Peking" and "Before Dawn" are more well-known, and the word-of-mouth is of course much better than "Red".

So why did Peng Yichen choose red.

The answer is very simple, in Peng Yichen's view, red was able to become popular on the Internet little by little by word of mouth after it was broadcast, and the main reason was that this TV series filmed the mortal side of the "hero" particularly moving.

It is no longer the tall heroes who fight against the Japanese people, but ordinary people like Xu Tian, Tian Dan, and Tie Lin who have their own shortcomings and troubles.

As the protagonist of the TV series, although Xu Tian has extraordinary talent as a spy officer, he has always been passively involved, and has always only wanted to live his own stable life, and he does not want to stand up to "resist the war and save the country". Because he clearly knew that his strength alone would not play much role in the war.

In the eyes of many people, he is a cowardly, cowardly, and selfish person, who has so much ability, but he does not want to take on the responsibility of saving the country at all.

But it is precisely this point that Peng Yichen likes most about this person and even this TV series.

In that era, Xu Tian's choices and experiences were the truest thoughts of most ordinary people.

The country has a government and an army, and the common people pay taxes and accept their management. But in the end, the country was invaded and almost destroyed, and this responsibility should be borne by ordinary people.

It's a pity that in those days, no one reasoned with ordinary people, the warlords couldn't talk about it, the national army couldn't talk about it, and the Japanese people couldn't talk about it.

Xu Tian, as an individual, wants to live a stable and ordinary life, what's wrong?

Although in the end, he was pushed step by step by fate to the road of anti-Japanese salvation, but he always remembered that he was an ordinary person and just wanted to live an ordinary life.

He was never a savior and didn't want to be a hero, but in the end he achieved heroic feats and saved countless lives.

This is the core charm of this TV series, and it is also the reason why Peng Yichen insisted on filming the TV series "Red".

Not only that, but this time he also invested a lot of money to use top movie cameras to shoot TV series, and the luxury even exceeded that of director Chen Guozhong when he filmed "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty".

You must know that the filming cost of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" was basically the same as "Red", but "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" had large-scale war scenes, and many architectural sets had to be built by themselves.

There are almost no war scenes in "Red", and there are ready-made venues for architectural sets in the Shanghai Film and Television Base.

Under such circumstances, Peng Yichen still burned 80 million in this TV series.

It is conceivable how demanding and rigorous he is in the details of this TV series.

Just when Peng Yichen was practicing Xingyi boxing outside the town, the mobile phone in his sweatpants pocket suddenly rang.

Peng Yichen slowly collected his work, took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, it was actually Wei Qi'an, the director of Chang'an Film Studio, calling.

Although they just talked over the phone last week about the broadcast of the TV series after it was completed.

But the phone call still surprised him a little, because Wei Qi'an rarely took the initiative to call him.

Peng Yichen didn't think much about it, quickly connected the phone, and said, "Hello, Director Wei." ”

"Dong Peng, before our TV series is broadcast, there may be some things to deal with. Wei Qi'an's voice was a little bitter.

He paused for a moment, and without waiting for Peng Yichen to reply, he continued: "Isn't the matter of our co-production of a TV series being very fierce in the media recently! The leaders of the Ministry of Culture also attach great importance to this matter. Last night, Vice Minister Li Yan of the Ministry of Culture called me and said that the Ministry of Culture had decided to hold an observation meeting before our TV series aired. Leaders of all state-owned film studios across the country, as well as leaders of major television stations, are invited to watch our TV series. It is said that we want to learn from our advanced experience. ”

Peng Yichen walked slowly in the direction of the hotel, smiled at his mobile phone and said: "Hasn't Kyoto Film Studio also cooperated with Huimin Film and Television to make TV series? ”

Wei Qi'an's bitter laughter came from the mobile phone, and he said helplessly: "Our Chang'an Film Studio is the worst mixed among several state-owned studios, and some people are afraid that we will rely on this TV series to 'return to the light', and there is no way to get rid of our burden!"

Peng Yichen listened to Wei Qi'an's words, just smiled and didn't speak, but he thought about it in his heart, this observation meeting may not be a good thing for Chen Jing Film Company's acquisition of Chang'an Film Studio.

Thinking of this, Peng Yichen didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Since the leader has spoken, then we can only do it." But you have to communicate with the leaders, our TV series has not been broadcast after all, and with such a large-scale observation meeting, you must not be able to show them all the TV series, which is too risky. I can only edit a 20-minute highlight plot clip for everyone to see. ”

Wei Qi'an also knew the risk of leaking the plot in advance, so he immediately agreed to Peng Yichen's request, and promised to do a good job of communicating with the leaders of the Ministry of Culture.

After hanging up the phone, Peng Yichen thought about it, made another call to Sun Yizou, and discussed his thoughts on this observation meeting with him.

Together, the two of them feel that this is a very good opportunity, maybe they can successfully acquire Chang'an Film Studio without waiting for the TV series to start.

The two of them made a plan, quickly hung up the phone, and prepared to prepare for the acquisition.
