Chapter 193: A Classic of Business War Dramas
After the problem of actor shortage was solved, Xiao Ran's team became more and more mature.
Now among the three scripts that have been divided before, Wu Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie 2" has the fastest shooting time, and it has been completed in nine days.
This is also mainly due to the fact that Xiao Ran drew a storyboard script for the fifth senior brother, plus this kind of zombie movie is Wu Zhengying's strength, so it is the easiest to shoot.
After filming "Mr. Zombie 2", Wu Zhengying began to be appointed to become the producer of the new TV series under the Shaw Clan, mainly to lead the overall situation and lead Qi Xinyi, who signed from Yanjing TV, to shoot a new business war drama.
The reason why the production of the first TV series was not placed in the martial arts drama was mainly because in addition to Li Shengtian, Xiao Ran could not find a suitable martial arts drama director for the time being, and signed six directors from Yanjing TV, but they were not famous before, and Xiao Ran didn't know where their level could go.
Therefore, the best way is to shoot a TV series in the way of a producer, it is very clear, the reason why I chose an urban business war drama is because Qi Xinyi used to be the leader of this kind of business war drama in the world, and he has a strong grasp of this kind of TV series.
Xiao Ran summed up the ratings of the original business war drama produced by Yanjing TV, and the main problem was that the conflict of the script was not strong enough, so he gave a very strong script, that is, the classic business war drama "The Great Era" in the previous life.
The main focus of this business war drama is on stocks, and now there was a stock market crash just two years ago, and many stocks have fallen to the point that there is no scum, and many shareholders are now not talking about stock speculation. It's a little chilling to hear about stocks, so the theme of "Big Time" at this time can just reflect their inner thinking and panic.
The reason why Xiao Ran chose the TV series "The Great Era". is still based on his personal favorites, as well as the classic Cheng dΓΉ of this TV series.
This is the first Hong Kong drama that Xiao Ran came into contact with in his previous life. At that time, I hadn't watched similar TV series on business wars and stocks, so this drama gave Xiao Ran a very deep impression.
In addition to the grievances and hatreds of the two families inside, it also shows a prosperous era that spans 30 years!
What impressed Xiao Ran even more was the characters in it, such as the Ding Crab who made people cry and laugh, this character is different from the villains in ordinary film and television dramas.
Because the villains in any film and television drama, whether they are unconscionable or heinous, or bullying the good and fearing evil or having a human face and a beast's heart, but at least these villains themselves know that they are bad people, but Ding Crab is different.
In this drama. He has a lot of classic quotations, which makes people really don't know how to evaluate them.
For example, he argued for himself in court: Yes, I am a man who killed someone, but I am not guilty!
And after killing someone else's father, he said to other people's children: Then you will treat me as your father, and I will love you too!
When he went to the grave of his old friend who was killed by him, he said: I don't know if God deliberately let you die early, to prove that your friend is the only one who is best for you......
It can be said that this is a character that people can't forget after watching it, because he stubbornly lives in his own world and has a set of logic and principles that he only understands. His three views are simply devastating!
Originally, this character Xiao Ran was intended to be played by Yaoyang, but in the end, because of the age deviation and Yaoyang's focus on the movie, Xiao Ran was not reluctant.
So a very suitable character was chosen. That is Guan Shihai, who played the boss of the Shahe Gang in "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition", I believe that after this role, Guan Shihai can also become popular. And for this reason, Xiao Ran has signed a ten-year long-term contract with him in the name of the film company!
In other words, Guan Shihai will become an actor specializing in villain roles that Xiao focuses on cultivating, don't underestimate villain roles. Whether a film and television drama is good or not sometimes depends on whether the villain can capture the audience's heart!
And Fang Zhanbo's role. Xiao Ran handed over a new actor poached from Yanjing TV, because he did not sign a long-term contract with Yanjing TV, so he became a new star praised by Xiao Ran.
Because this actor named Wen Zilun also has very dark skin, and his appearance is not the type of handsome man, so even if he had excellent grades in the Academy of Performing Arts, he was not taken seriously after entering the TV station, and he didn't even bother to sign a long contract, so he could only keep playing tricks for a living, but he practiced good acting skills.
In the same way, other roles are also tried to choose new actors who can be praised, but have potential, and when there is really no way, they will use long-term actors from Yanjing TV.
And the role of Fang Zhanbo's father Fang Jinxin in this play, although there are not too many scenes, it is very touching, so Xiao Ran has his own selfishness and gives this role to his father Xiao Yuanshan to play, and plans to let his father make up for Fang Jin's new role after the filming of "Huang Feihong 2: Men Should Be Self-Improvement".
The main purpose of independently filming TV series is to cultivate talents for its three film companies, such as Wen Zilun who plays Fang Zhanbo, in fact, Xiao Ran is very optimistic personally, thinking that although he is not handsome, he can play many tough guy roles.
β¦β¦
Just when Wu Zhengying, as the producer, was rushing to shoot the business war drama "The Great Era", Xiao Ran had already started to finish worshipping God and was filming "Huang Feihong 2: Men Should Be Self-Improvement".
This movie is also the best in the entire Wong Fei Hung series, Xiao Ran thinks it is the best, and it is also his favorite.
Compared with the previous work, the theme of the second part of "Once Upon a Time" is more clear, under a simple story thread, the main expression is the rendering and highlighting of the theme, and it is also the creator's thinking about the past history, in addition to the wonderful martial arts scenes, this is also the soul of the whole play, just like the finishing touch of a dragon!
What is being filmed at this time is the big scene at the beginning of the film, Huang Feihong vs. the White Lotus Sect.
"Heaven and earth come together, killing all the foreigners. Today, there is a white lotus to save the world, drive away the evil demons and pass them on to all generations...... Burn me the telegraph office! β
In the whole movie "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", there are a lot of scenes in the White Lotus Sect, so much so that from the very beginning, it was a performance of the Jiugong real people played by Lei Xiaolong in the White Lotus Sect playing divine fighting, saying that it was a miracle to protect the body and be invulnerable, but in fact, it was just an iron plate deceiving gods and deceiving ghosts.
And when the White Lotus Sect was besieging the telegraph office, the thirteenth aunt played by Lin Qingqing wanted to take pictures of this scene, but as soon as she took the picture, she angered the White Lotus Sect, because she was holding a foreigner's camera!
"Who's coming? How dare you stop the sun and moon hexagram from getting rid of demons in front of the long altar? Get your name in! β
"Foshan Huang Feihong!"
When the thirteenth aunt was captured by the White Lotus Sect, Huang Feihong played by Xiao Yuanshan made a brilliant appearance, accompanied by the signature action, and immediately became the focus of the audience.
After a fight, Huang Feihong commented on the behavior of these people: "He is not doing right, pretending to be a ghost, and saying that he is doing the right thing for heaven? β
"Wide! Carry the thirteenth aunt back to the inn! β
β¦β¦
"Click!"
"Senior brother, your expression is in place."
For Liang Kuan played by Lei Xiaohu, Xiao Ran gave a high evaluation, originally in his previous life, the actor of Huang Feihong's movie series has been changing, and in the end, even the starring Huang Feihong has been replaced, and many viewers began to lose their popularity for this series later.
And now when Xiao Ran reshoots this series, his decision is that all the actors should remain the same, so the role of Liang Kuan in the two parts is played by Lei Xiaohu, but Liang Kuan in the first part, because he is new to Foshan, is not familiar with the place, and has been oppressed by the people of the Shahe Gang, so he seems to be more bitter, and in the second part, he began to play his optimistic and funny nature, especially the expression of carrying his dream lover Aunt Thirteen, which is simply unbearable.
Because the scenes of the White Lotus Sect need more actors, Xiao Ran plans to finish filming all the scenes related to the White Lotus Sect at one time, and then make up for other people's scenes.
So after the first two scenes, it was the first meeting between Huang Feihong played by Xiao Yuanshan and Sun Yat-sen of the revolutionary party played by another senior actor, the two admired each other, Sun Yat-sen also translated for Huang Feihong at the medical exchange meeting, and when the White Lotus Sect made trouble, Huang Feihong also saved Sun Yat-sen.
Of course, this paragraph is a joke about history, and in the real history, Sun Yat-sen naturally cannot know Huang Feihong, but in this movie series, Huang Feihong himself is not simply a personal image, but carries a lot of the creator's thoughts on history, so in order to tell his views on the revolution, Huang Feihong naturally knew Sun Yat-sen.
β¦β¦
"The fourth scene of the eleventh scene of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", Ikesh!"
Huang Feihong and Liang Kuan were trapped outside the consulate, and met Lu Haodong, who came looking for the child, to help them enter the consulate and be in the consulate's church.
Huang Feihong: "Brother Haodong, why do foreigners believe in gods look so painful?" β
Lu Haodong: "Everyone has a myth in their hearts, they believe in one in their small life, and they believe in another when they grow up, until one day they find out that all myths are lies." β
While speaking, Lu Haodong subconsciously looked at his pocket watch, and Huang Feihong asked curiously: "Brother Haodong, why do you look at your watch all day long?" Are you waiting for someone? β
"This is a bad habit that an old friend has passed on to me, he said that time is precious, and we Huaxia people have wasted too much time."
β¦β¦
There is no doubt that the entire crew of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" is basically Chinese, and they are basically much older than Xiao Ran, but they really admire Xiao Ran from the bottom of their hearts, in addition to Xiao Ran's achievements, there is also the script he wrote.
