After reading the list of actors, Mina was also a little frustrated, but so what, as long as the boss commanded, she would be happy to complete it, not to mention that this was her first debut, cheered up and clapped her hands, and loudly encouraged everyone.

"Don't worry, everyone, the boss has already drawn a detailed storyboard script, and it won't be difficult for us to follow the script...... Okay~ Now I'll start the division of labor, Andy, you are responsible for letting the props team buy and make props and sets, K.J, you go to find the right soundtrack, and the photographer will be selected by Joshuhua, this is our first work, we must shoot it so that others can see the level of our pirate station's director team~~~"

The directors of Group B were all encouraged by Mina's words, stretched out their hands together, and shouted excitedly: "Let them see what we are capable of!" ”

They didn't know that if Li Xiaole's original shijie people saw this cast, they were afraid that they would exclaim the word "luxury", and they would actually make the handsome guys and beauties of "Twilight", which was popular all over the world, "condescend" in an American drama, which is really too tyrannical......

The directors of Group B probably never dreamed that Li Xiaole did not give them a bunch of third-rate actors, but gave them a bunch of starry stars of tomorrow~~

In this way, while the crew of "The Walking Dead" maintained normal operation, the crew of "The Vampire Diaries" of Group B of Pirate TV Station also began to run at high speed, although "The Vampire Diaries" was very popular in later generations, but the story is essentially nothing new, relying on the appetite of those charismatic actors and vampire packaging to the audience, in fact, it is more difficult to grasp the delicacy of costumes and special effects makeup, how to make vampires and werewolves makeup charming and cool to the scum, It's not easy to make those young girls look crazy.

But does this make it difficult for the current Pirate Desk production team? They have the best TV makeup team on the planet, and next to the "Walking Dead" crew stands Hollywood's top 10 Glenn Hertrek, a master makeup artist......

Zombies, vampires, ronins, not only the subject matter is figured out, but even the design resources have been saved a lot, as long as Glenn Hertrek is lent to Group B for a few days, these problems can be completely solved.

Things are going well, it's all in Li Xiaole's jihua, the newcomers in Group B have the benefits of newcomers, they are all obedient, hard-working, and eager to prove themselves, and these people are originally famous directors in the future, Li Xiaole doesn't have to worry about them messing up "The Vampire Diaries" at all.

However, although he is full of confidence in others, Li Xiaole is actually a little worried about the future trend of "The Walking Dead", after all, he has changed a lot on the basis of the original, and American audiences are not sure whether they like him or not.

As soon as he got home, he opened the Facebook message on the computer and looked at the reactions of netizens, and he found that the evaluation of "The Walking Dead" has formed two clear barriers, the first is the young "Resident Evil" fans, and a large number of zombie game fans, and their almost unanimous reaction feels that the protagonist Rick is weak:

The avatar is an explosive-headed black netizen "Shrek" said indignantly:

"Oh my God~! What age is it~~ There will be this kind of slow-walking zombie movie, dozens of minutes in the first episode, the protagonist was chased around by zombies who seemed to be patients with Perkins's syndrome, weishenme wanted to run!! Wouldn't it be nice to turn around and blow their heads off! It's so unpleasant! ”

And the netizen "Detroit Gangster" left a message with disdain: "I watch this TV series is too fake, if Lao Tzu is Rick, I will take an ax and directly cut down all the zombies in Atlanta, I calculated it, one in 10 seconds, 6 in a minute, 360 in an hour, 8 hours a day, that is, 2880, and you can save shijie by cutting it for a month, why run stupidly, it's really too weak, he should come to the slums of Detroit to gangster, I'll teach him how to cut people." ”

This group of disdainful people accounted for about one-fifth of the messages, Li Xiaole looked at the information of these people, most of them are under the age of 25, mainly students who like novel sensory stimulation, for advertisers, these groups are not the main group, and Li Xiaole does not need to pay too much attention to them. And the vast majority of the remaining traditional fans in the age group of 25-40 years old are full of praise for "The Walking Dead".

Netizen "Weather Vane" exclaimed on Facebook: "The Walking Dead is too shocking and real...... I've never seen this kind of zombie movie, I've been having nightmares since watching the first episode, I never thought the end would be so cruel...... Think about my life now...... I really want to be thankful to God...... Being bullied by classmates is much luckier than being eaten by zombies at the end of the day. ”

"Drowned Mermaid" also agreed: "I feel the same, there are obviously no too bloody and hot scenes in this show, but I just tremble while watching it, and I feel a chilling sense of helplessness, especially when Rick shoots the little girl with a gun, I feel like I killed a little girl with my own hands......"

"Eddie the Ronin" used a blog post on his blog to praise the first episode of The Walking Dead:

"I swear...... 'The Walking Dead' is the most haode zombie movie I've ever seen, there's so much to praise in this episode, first of all, I have to praise Andrew Lincoln's acting, his every action and every look can give the audience the pathos of a man who has undergone a sea change, and at the same time there is no lack of tenacity.

Li Xiaole is really good at describing characters, and knows how the characters should be performed in a specific environment, neither exaggerated nor lacking in dramatic conflicts. The two people written in this episode, Rick and Uncle Negro, are almost always reflected in Rick's descriptions through silent action scenes; And the role of the uncle is ruined after the great change through the arrival of the uncle, there is no fierce crying, and there is no indifferent fast-food-style tough guy style. The uncle has to face the choice of killing or not killing, and he still has to live resolutely in this crazy last days, and the tears at that time are real......

The most rare thing is that there is a strong sense of humanity in the whole series. When filming the zombie theme, the first reaction of ordinary viewers is excitement, blood, intestines and thighs. But Li Xiaole's zombie films are not only these, whether it is the terrifying staring zombies in the poster or the cute images in "Plants vs. Zombies", they are really just backgrounds and gimmicks, and all the focus of the story is on human nature and the emotions between people.

The black uncle is entangled in whether to kill his dead wife, Rick calmly accepts reality but resolutely embarks on a dangerous journey to find his wife and children, and the desolation of Shijie's apocalypse, these are the points of "The Walking Dead", oh my God...... It's really hard for me to imagine that this is a zombie drama series filmed by Chinese...... Are all American horror film directors dead? This kind of drama is long overdue......"

Li Xiaole was lying on the bed, looking at these comments, and there was a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, a few years ago, when he had just gained a foothold in the mainland, he began to come to Jihua in the United States, at that time he was very excited to simulate shooting various American dramas and movies in his mind countless times, but the answers he got made him very depressed...... It is simply impossible for him to surpass the original.

But all these years have passed, after he filmed a series of movies such as "Let the Bullets Fly", "Sedek Bale" and so on, he learned a lot of previous shooting methods, and learned more deeply to feel the rhythm of the plot, the feelings of the soundtrack, and the emotions of the characters. Instead, he began to have his own style, and no matter what he shot the original, he was able to inject his inner liliang.

He can clearly feel that he is approaching a director of the level of Spielberg and Christopher Nolan, and this feeling is really wonderful~~

It has nothing to do with money, no matter fame, it is just a kind of deep enjoyment in the field of pure art, and the liliang of inner peace and silence sprouts and grows...... Li Xiaole closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep on the soft bed, as if lying on a vast galaxy, falling asleep leisurely and quietly.

After the first episode of "The Walking Dead" aired, the outside world had a very good reputation for this series, so no matter how resolutely Li Xiaole refused, several companies such as Sony and Fox continued to negotiate with Pirate TV, and all three of them hoped to grasp the strategic initiative on Monday's TV battlefield.

The reason why they don't care about Li Xiaole's rejection is because they all believe that the high ratings of the first episode of "The Walking Dead" mainly rely on the popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies", and the ratings of the second episode will definitely show a decline, which makes them the best time to cooperate with the pirate station.

According to the law of ratings, everyone predicts that the ratings of "The Walking Dead" will have a huge drop in ratings in the second and third episodes, and it may not return to the average of 6 million viewers until episode 4, and if the level does not decline, it may reach 8 million by the end of the season......

Yes, if this is the case according to the general law, but only Li Xiaole knows how much energy this series will have, he is not worried about the ratings of "The Walking Dead" at all now, the success of the future is inevitable, it is just how big the success is, the biggest problem facing the pirate company is if "The Walking Dead" is successful, what kind of situation will they encounter? This is what Li Xiaole needs to consider.
