Chapter 026: Director Confirmed (Ask for Recommendation)
chayexschayexs.recommendation is so few,Please chayexschayexs.!!
Datang International quickly found a director candidate, which was unbelievably fast.
The director invited by Datang International is called Yu Zheng, who is in his forties, and is a very famous director among TV drama directors, who is good at shooting costume dramas. Together with Zheng Long, Jiang Wen, Li Chengshu, and Tang Gu, he is known as one of the five great costume directors in China, and is a strong contender for the directorial position of Blue Ocean International's new drama "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty".
I don't know how Datang International moved him and made him give up the "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
And what about Yu Zheng? At this time, he was glad that he had given up competing for the power of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
Originally, he was very eager to take charge of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", but for a special reason, he had to give up the fight for this drama. After giving up "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", you need to find other scripts to shoot. However, his qualifications and status make him have a high vision, so naturally he will not choose a bad drama.
He first set his sights on Wang Shang, the screenwriter of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and heard that Wang Shang had been in retreat for more than three months and was working hard to create a new script.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" in 2001 can be said to have set off a storm of entertainment.
Since the start of the broadcast on January 18, the ratings have begun to rise in terror, like a towering mountain pressing countless TV series on the air underneath. By the end of the day, it surpassed the 4.0 ratings mark, making countless people lose their voices.
That's not all, just when it landed on the online video station in May, it exploded with amazing power at the beginning, and its first-week sales reached a staggering 520 million, breaking countless records.
And in July, in two and a half months, the total sales of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" rose to 1.2 billion! A total of 150 million people pay to watch online, and there is a consistent annual subscription, and there is no one who watches it once on a monthly basis!
Breaking the 1.683 billion of "The Rule of Zhenguan" is just around the corner!
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is terrifying!
So Yu Zheng is very much looking forward to directing Wang Shang's next script, and even tried to visit Wang Shang in person several times, but unfortunately he couldn't be contacted at the time, and he couldn't find the address when he wanted to visit.
It's a pity that he waited and waited, and after waiting for half a month, Wang Shang didn't make any noise here.
Just as his eyes turned to other targets, Datang International finally let out the wind, and Wang Shang finally left the palace...... Oh no, out of the customs and wrote a new script. And Datang International is constantly desperately promoting that new drama, obviously that script will not be worse than "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
"I've been waiting for a month, and I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon finally coming out!" Yu Zhengxin breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Datang International came to the door and invited him to direct, Yu Zheng was ecstatic, and the two sides hit it off with a hot relationship.
Yu Zheng rushed to Datang International non-stop, and after signing the confidentiality agreement, he got the long-awaited new script.
"Let me see ......"
Yu Zheng drank a cup of tea, slowly opened the script of "Step by Step" with a cherished heart.
As soon as I opened the script and looked at the first page, I was stunned.
"How is it urban?" Yu Zheng couldn't help but close his eyes and look at it again.
"It's really urban, is it the wrong one??" Turning back to the name of the script, it is "Step by Step", and it is right.
"The propaganda is talking about ancient costume Qing court dramas?" Yu Zheng looked up at Tang Zongshi and the editor-in-chief of Datang International, but found that the two of them seemed to have a bit of a feeling of looking at their own jokes, which made Yu Zheng feel slightly angry in his heart.
"Director Yu, don't worry, keep reading, this script is right." As for Yu Zheng's reaction, the two of them had already expected it. Moreover, Tang Zongshi also specially told him not to explain to Yu Zheng in advance, while giving him a surprise, he also looked good at him.
According to Tang Zongshi's words: "If Wang Xiaozi lets us get out of trouble, I will let others out of trouble, and it's better to be happy alone than to be happy." ”
"The chairman is so bad, but I like it, hehe!!" Editor-in-chief Jiang Shan thought so.
Of course, Yu Zheng didn't know the bad water in the hearts of these two people, and he was stunned by that wonderful idea at this time. The protagonist has an accident and travels to the end of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty and becomes Martai Ruoxi.
"Crossing!? This idea is simply ...... It's very awesome!! ”
Yu Zheng, who was originally a little angry, was not even a little angry at this time, and all the anger and unhappiness turned into ecstasy, and his heart was full of joy.
Soon Datang International publicly announced the director's candidate, Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng praised the awesomeness of "Step by Step" in the subsequent publicity, declaring that it would be a TV series that is not inferior or even better than "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
As for the gimmick of 'crossing', it was not promoted, but continued to be kept secret, after all, it was necessary to strive to make "Step by Step" the first 'crossing' drama.
The director was found, the crew began formal preparations, and the casting of actors was vigorously launched.
However, the action of "Step by Step" obviously affected the director election of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty". There are a total of five popular candidates for the directorship of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", and Yu is one of them.
Now that "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" has not yet begun to decide on the director, "Step by Step" has taken away the popular candidates, which is simply a naked digging of the wall. Even if Yu Zheng is not the ultimate director, he is still digging into the wall.
The Blue Ocean Group has a big business, and it is naturally not so stingy-minded, but those people below don't think so.
Other directors who covet the position of power in "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" have ridiculed Yu Zhengming, hoping to shoot the sycophants of the Blue Ocean Group and let it choose itself as the director.
And those media who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic are even more unscrupulous, directly saying that Datang International does not like the Blue Ocean Group, Wang Shang looks down on "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" and so on......
As a result, the whole of China was flooded with all kinds of remarks, and all those who paid attention to entertainment news were misled into thinking that Datang International and Blue Ocean Group had done it.
When Tang Zongshi and Wang Shang saw this situation, they were stunned, and millions of alpacas kept rushing back and forth in their hearts......
And Lan Haimei, the strong woman chairman of Blue Ocean Group, raised her head at a 45° angle and asked the sky speechlessly......
This ** naked lying down and getting shot!
However, both sides have a very tacit understanding to maintain this kind of controversy, which is conducive to the promotion of the TV series, but they both understand in their hearts that they are playing soy sauce at all......
Perhaps stimulated by "Step by Step", Nanhai Group accelerated the progress, and finally decided on the director a week later - Li Chengshu, one of the five major costume directors in China.
And his alma mater is the Modu Media College, where Wang Shang originally studied.
……
Wang Shang accompanied Xiaoyu to resign, and then took her to Datang International.
As soon as he entered the gate of Datang International, Wang Shang felt that the girls at the front desk looked at Wang Shang with complaining eyes, making the little fish weakly hide behind Wang Shang, nervous.
For Wang Shang, he has a good body, is mature and steady, and has created a lot of achievements at a young age, and he will definitely have a brilliant future in the future, and more importantly, Wang Shang's temper is good, so there are many girls in Datang International who are secretly talking about Wang Shang with a spring heart.
Now that a little beauty who is more beautiful than himself has appeared behind him, all the girls can't help but complain.
Later, he met several male prostitutes and looked at Wang Shang with an ambiguous gaze.
Wang Shang despises it, what kind of people are these, they are not pure at all!
Wang Shang took Xiaoyu to the human resources department to sign a star contract, which can be regarded as an actor of Datang International. Since their chairman, Tang Zongshi, had already greeted them, the contract conditions were not harsh. At this time, Wang Shang didn't realize that Xiaoyu may not have acting talent, if he doesn't have acting talent, what should he do?
Then Tang Zongshi called Wang Shang, the director had already decided, and he happened to be at Datang International now, inviting him to go up and meet him.
Wang Shang met the director of his new drama in Tang Zongshi's office.
He is about 160cm tall, thin and small, wearing a well-fitting tunic suit, but Wang Shang feels that his eyes are sharp and have a kind of straight edge, compared to Director Zheng Long's restraint, Yu Zheng has more edge.
And Wang Shang still feels that he has a literati atmosphere, which is very comfortable.
Yu Zheng shook hands warmly when he saw Wang Shang and praised Wang Shang's script.
Yu Zheng, as a costume drama director, in addition to directing some martial arts films, is more about directing historical dramas, plus Yu Zheng likes history, so his research on history is very profound.
He can still find some faults in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but in the script of "Step by Step", he basically didn't see any shortcomings or bugs, and the language, costumes, and set settings in it are full of charm, which is no worse than "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
What's even more commendable is that the gimmick of this drama is very sufficient, "crossing", modern people go to ancient times, the sense of substitution is unprecedentedly strong, and it has the advantage of 'prophet', killing ancient people in seconds, which is very attractive to the audience.
