If you want to talk about the most classic Japanese drama, "Tokyo Love Story" sits on three looks, and if the broadcast time is limited to modern prime time (excluding morning dramas and period dramas), it may even be higher.

In fact, to say that the ratings of Dongai are not the highest, but the ratings are related to the times, the ratings in 91 cannot be compared with 2000, and the ratings in 2000 cannot be compared with 2017, different eras, and even different eras have their ratings characteristics.

Fan Cheng has already filmed "101 Marriage Proposals", and it is almost natural to shoot Dongai next.

For Shuzhong Satellite TV, after seeing the lineup of this drama, they understood that Fan Cheng must be the most fond of this drama, so even if there is only this drama, next year's contract renewal will almost be a bankruptcy for them.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the family is bankrupt.

Shuzhong Province is not small, and the provincial capital can also be regarded as the second-tier layer on the national city list, but compared with the Big Five, Shuzhong is weak in terms of investment and its own strength, like the TV station in the imperial capital of the magic capital, which has a natural economic advantage, and Mango Satellite TV has always been a leader in the environment, and with the same funds, the meaning is different for Shuzhong Satellite TV and these satellite TVs, and their bankruptcy may only be a little painful for others.

For Chinese audiences, it doesn't matter whether Shuzhong can win the right to broadcast, it doesn't matter what the comprehensive entertainment channel shoots, the vast majority of Chinese viewers can now watch the national satellite TV, so even if it is not their hometown TV station, they can see it on other stations.

For the audience, the cast and the content of the shooting are the most important.

So when the news that director Fan Cheng, Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen co-starred in modern films came out, the audience was simply surprised to tell each other.

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which began to be broadcast in early 2003, is undoubtedly a classic, among which Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen's Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min have also become classics of these two characters, at this time they are at the peak of their appearance, and their acting skills are enough to support the TV series, so when "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" was broadcast nationwide, the influence of the two of them also reached the peak of their careers in the entertainment industry.

Coupled with Li Yanpeng and Lu Yi, it can be expected that the lineup of this drama will definitely be the top next year.

Although the filmmakers and cast of Dongai came out, more information is still under wraps, and the leading actors have not yet received the script, so although reporters flocked to it, Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen couldn't say why, and could only keep saying things like "It's our honor to be able to play Mr. Fan Cheng's work" in front of the camera.

As for Fan Cheng, it has been difficult for reporters to catch him recently, "The Tragedy" has reached the final part, and the filming of this drama is nothing, the key is that "Battle Royale" has also been basically prepared, and after following three different directors to shoot the youth trilogy, Fan Cheng is finally going to start his first film shooting.

For Fan Cheng to shoot a movie, this news has been made public in the Chinese entertainment industry for a long time, and everyone was still very concerned when the news first came out, but unlike Dongai, who announced the cast nearly a year earlier and the general content, Fan Cheng's movie has been kept secret, and the actors are said to be newcomers, and the shooting content is said to be startling everyone, as for how to scare everyone, everyone is not clear.

No one thought what kind of work Fan Cheng would make, and even the young actors who had already joined the group were so shocked that they couldn't accept it after getting the script, which is the reality that Fan Cheng will shoot his works.

Several of the protagonists among these young actors are basically junior college students in domestic film and television schools, Fan Cheng picks actors as if cutting leeks, and with a casual stroke, he signs a large number of actors back.

Unlike other directors who are looking for the most suitable actor for his work, Fan Cheng's requirements for actors don't seem to be strict, in fact, they can't be considered strict, because he knows very well that this battle royale is mainly sold as a concept and a group portrait, so in terms of actors, although several main characters also need acting skills, they don't like other movies that will place the soul of the whole movie, and the protagonist often only plays the role of undertaking and contacting the plot.

What really matters is the average level of the actors' group portraits, what Fan Cheng wants is that the acting skills of any character in the film are very good, not one or two of them are the most outstanding.

After the young actors got the script, they had been preparing for about a month, and during this month, they kept meeting in Yangji, adapting to the script, adapting to the role, and endlessly familiarizing themselves with each scene.

For his first directorial work, Fan Cheng also spent a lot of money, and he directly found an uninhabited island in the sea near Beilin Province to carry out most of the location shooting work of this drama!

The price of renting an uninhabited island is nothing, transporting the entire crew over, and all the access of the crew behind it has to be continuously supported in the past is where the investment explodes.

They are all young people, who took a vacation to take over the filming of this drama, and went to an uninhabited island, and the children in the crew were very excited when they first came, they went on an adventure on the island together, and formed a good friendship in just a few days.

But after a few days, the novelty wore off, and the troubles of the uninhabited island began to show its power.

Mosquitoes are flying all over the sky, and they must sleep under mosquito nets at night, in fact, mosquitoes are still in the lower layer of the food chain on the island, and above the mosquitoes, all kinds of young people who grew up in the city have never seen the insects that cannot be named, which are the main targets of mosquito net defense, even if they can block these insects from climbing up the body, they can't stop the sound of these phototaxis insects constantly hitting the lampshade every night.

Then there is the toilet, the temporary toilet is not a big deal, the most terrible thing is that the villagers who were invited to the island have a bad word: "Before going to the toilet, you must check the surroundings, especially in the pit, the insects don't matter, the key is that there are no snakes." ”

Snake!!!???

The young people, who had been fresh for a few days, quickly regretted going to the island.

It's a pity that this is an island and an uninhabited island, and there is no other means of transportation except for the boat rented by the crew, so they can't run away even if they want to.

A little psychological comfort is that director Fan Cheng and the adults of the crew also suffered with them.

On this day, the last ship transporting the crew's equipment was about to leave for the return voyage, and Fan Cheng also came to the temporary dock to see him off.

"It's up to you for the next six months. Fan Cheng said to Wen Jia on the ship, the filming period of "Battle Royale" is about half a year in total, and unless there is a temporary emergency in half a year, Fan Cheng will not leave this uninhabited island at all, as for Yangji's TV station, TV series and variety show shooting, he has done everything he must do in advance, and he has thrown all the rest of the work to Wen Jia and Fan Zheng.

"Okay, I'll come to see you often. Wen Jia said with a smile.

"Don't say it as if I'm in prison, be careful that I suddenly attack you when I return to Yangji!" Fan Cheng smiled.

"I'm so scared, the little white face will be exposed by then!" Wen Jia also tried her best to liven up the atmosphere.

"And then there'...... Fan Xiaoqian, you have to help her more. Fan Cheng said.

Fan Xiaoqian did not participate in the high school entrance examination, and the girl with excellent grades and a star was admitted to Imperial Capital University without examination in advance, and Wen Zhen of the trio entered the Central Conservatory of Music, as for Qin Ruoxue, she will start the publicity work of "The Tragedy" immediately after the suspension.

Among the three, Fan Xiaoqian is the most difficult, there are so many things, the girl is equivalent to a broken family, at this time, it stands to reason that it would be good if the dearest third uncle could stay by his side, but at this time Fan Cheng wanted to enter the group to shoot, Fan Xiaoqian could only watch the third uncle run to the uninhabited island, leaving her alone to carry out performing arts activities while waiting for the start of school.

When Fan Cheng left from Yangji, Fan Xiaoqian, who has always been sensible, lost her temper, threw things and cried like an ignorant child, and Fan Cheng also took a lot of determination to leave Yangji.

Wen Jia glanced at Fan Cheng deeply.

The fact that Fan Cheng and Fan Xiaoqian are not related by blood is the most delicate for Wen Jia.

In the past, the relationship between Wen Jia and Fan Cheng was very stable, even if Wen Zhen had a relationship, Wen Jia had nothing to worry about Fan Cheng, because she knew very well that even if Wen Zhen and Fan Cheng really had any development, she was still Fan Cheng's number one, which Wen Zhen could not shake.

But the change in the relationship between Fan Xiaoqian and Fan Cheng made her see the danger, to say that Fan Cheng is good to Fan Xiaoqian, it is so good that Wen Jia is jealous, the two used to have a family relationship, and everyone in the Fan family also regarded Fan Xiaoqian as the pearl of their palms, so Wen Jia didn't feel that there was any problem, and now Fan Xiaoqian has nothing to do with Fan Cheng, but this makes Wen Jia worried.

Her worries are not unreasonable, she knows too well how deep Fan Cheng's feelings for Fan Xiaoqian are, if she really chooses between her and Fan Xiaoqian, Fan Cheng is afraid that Fan Xiaoqian will choose Fan Xiaoqian, right?

Fan Cheng also understood the meaning in Wen Jia's eyes.

He hugged Wen Jia gently and said, "Wife, what are you worried about?" ”

"Am I really going to be your wife?" asked Wen Jia.

"Of course, there is no one else but you. Fan Cheng patted Wen Jia's back and comforted her.

After sending Wen Jia away, filming on the island began.

Strictly speaking, "Battle Royale" is not a classic movie that everyone praises, except for a special film genre, the effect and plot of this work are not particularly good.

If it is an ordinary director's work, it can actually be called excellent, but considering Fan Cheng's identity as a traverser, it seems that using this work as the beginning of the film road seems to be a little too low.

After all, Fan Cheng's predecessors all debuted with Oscar-level works.

"Battle Royale" still has a certain gap compared to that kind of work.

But for Fan Cheng's identity in this world, this will be a very interesting work.

This can be seen from the comments of the teenagers and girls who participated in the filming.

These children from film and television schools across the country, such as Beijing Film, Chinese Opera, and Shangju, all have a certain understanding of Fan Cheng, but their understanding of Fan Cheng is not a film director but an interesting TV person.

In their eyes, Fan Cheng is the creator and filmmaker of "101 Marriage Proposals", the producer of so many interesting variety shows that laugh so much that people's cheeks hurt, and the inventor of toys and games such as Blackbeard's crisis and escape room, such a man is like seeing Stephen Chow and Zhao Benshan for them.

When Fan Cheng interviewed them, many people couldn't hold back their smiles and laughed when they saw Fan Cheng, which was a bit rude, but it proved that Fan Cheng is really a man like a pistachio in everyone's eyes now.

In the interview process, Fan Cheng is indeed very witty and funny, once he finds that someone wants to laugh when he sees him, Fan Cheng's reaction is not to become serious, but often to prank the person who can't hold back and laugh again, the whole interview process is particularly joyful and interesting.

This joy lasted until they got the script.

After determining that the acting skills of this group of teenagers and girls themselves are enough to play the roles in the work, Fan Cheng finalized the actors one by one without even letting them audition, and after finalizing the actors, Fan Cheng arranged their roles and even plots one by one according to the questionnaires written by these people before.

Arranging these plots into the overall framework of the work is what they see today as the script of "Battle Royale".

The teenagers giggled and took the script from Fan Cheng, who looked extremely kind.

Unprepared, I saw the cruel and chilling plot in the script.

BR Bill, Battle Royale Game ......

The teacher who had been hurt reappeared in front of everyone and killed two people without changing his face......

Some of the teenagers could still hold on, and most of the girls had already begun to tremble with their hands when they saw this.

"Three...... Third uncle, is this your work?" a girl asked, looking up.

"yes. Interesting, right?" said Fan Cheng with a smile.

Looking at the third uncle's smile, the girl who used to laugh with her suddenly shuddered.

"Three...... Third Uncle...... Are you lying to us? This is your plagiarism, right? Third Uncle, how could you write such a work? Third Uncle is so interesting...... "Some people still don't believe it."

Fan Cheng didn't explain too much but directly said a few names: "Mr. Bean, Stephen Chow, Jim Carrey, Andy Kaufman." ”

This group of professional teenagers and girls immediately understood what Fan Cheng meant after hearing these four names.

Four great comedians, but not four happy people.

"Third uncle, are you like this too?" a girl asked tremblingly.

"I'm better than them, I'm happy, but that doesn't mean I can't have deep thoughts. Fan Cheng pointed to his head and said.
