Chapter 869: The new director
Since Qiu Xiaoming left Hong Kong Satellite TV with his henchmen, insiders are paying attention to and speculating about who the new director will be, and the biggest hit is Gao Ying, the former TVB gold medal anchor and the current deputy general manager and financial director of Light and Shadow Company. To say that this woman is really powerful, she gave up TVB's high salary and deigned to go to a light and shadow company with no more than thirty or forty employees to be Sun Ziming's assistant. As a result, in less than ten years, this woman not only struggled to become a billionaire, but also became the deputy general manager of the overlord of the Hong Kong film industry.
However, what surprised everyone was that the new acting director was not Gao Ying, but Miss Le Yiling, the female assistant of TVB Aunt Fang. The employees of Hong Kong Satellite TV couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that the new director was Le Yiling, this is a more pungent woman than Miss Gao, Zeng Lizhen and Liang Jiashu, the two drama directors of TVB, were so squeezed by her that they wanted to resign!
Insiders think more, Uncle Shao is 93 this year, Aunt Fang is 69, and their relationship with Sun Ziming is easily associated with the relationship between HKTV and TVB in the future. If Uncle Shao Liu lets go of TVB in the future, these two major TV stations will merge into one again, will there be a way for other TV stations to live?
However, the two family members of ATV and HJTV are not panicked at all, they are determined, even if Uncle Shao Liu lets go of TVB at that time, Sun Ziming will not be able to take over. The reason is very simple, don't look at Uncle Shao and Sun Ziming have a very good relationship, but he is a standard businessman, and it is impossible not to sell TVB at a high price. Sun Ziming himself has HKTV, Hanjiang Satellite TV, and ESPN, and it is impossible to buy TVB at a high price.
The only reason can only be that Le Yiling is indeed a talent, and she is appreciated by Sun Ziming, so she will become the head of a TV station like Qiu Xiaoming at the beginning.
It is indeed as they think, Le Yiling is indeed a talent, and Aunt Fang relies on her a lot to balance various factions in TVB, which has a very complex personnel relationship, and to keep a huge TV station in order. Le Yiling suddenly jumped to Hong Kong Satellite TV, Aunt Fang also called and scolded her grandson Ming, and as soon as she entered Hong Kong Satellite TV, she immediately discovered the huge commercial value of "Shangshi Palace" and began to strongly promote its filming work.
Kim Young-hyun, who had already finished writing all the scripts of "Shang Shi Palace", received a notice from the TV station and immediately took a taxi to meet the new director, and only played drums for the actors in his heart on the way. She listened to two assistants tell the new director about the glorious history of the new director, a character who is even more powerful than Miss Gao.
When he arrived at the director's office, Kim Young-hyun carefully sat on the black swivel chair in front of his desk, not daring to look at the capable female director in front of him.
“Mrs。 Kim, I have read your script, and you are worthy of Mr. Sun's favorite, you are indeed an excellent screenwriter. However, I'm curious, why did you want Miss Lee Young-ae to star in the role, is it because she is Mr. Sun's girlfriend? Isn't it okay for Li Ruotong in our station? ”
Kim Young-hyun is also worthy of being the gold medal screenwriter of the 'future', although he has the intention of pleasing Sun Ziming, but the reason is very sufficient. Facing Le Yiling's sharp eyes, Kim Yingxian handed over the stills of Lee Young-ae's ancient makeup, and carefully explained: "I didn't think so, the character of Xu Wanyun was created based on Xu Changjin in the history of the Republic of Korea. In my impression, among the actresses with ancient makeup and appearance that most match my mind of Xu Changjin, there is only Miss Lee Young-ae. ”
Le Yiling carefully looked at the stills for a while, and had to admit that Li Yingai's ancient appearance was the best among the actresses she had ever seen, dignified and generous, full of affinity, and beautiful with the unique gentleness of oriental women.
In Le Yiling's impression, such an actress cannot be found in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Li Ruotong's ancient makeup appearance in Taiwan is top-notch, but her temperament is a little cold, far from having such a good affinity as Li Yingai. Maybe it's only possible in the mainland, which is full of talents, but Lee Young-ae is Korean, and when "Shangshigong" is broadcast on Hanjiang Satellite TV in the future, it will take a great advantage.
"Then how did the director choose South Korea's Lee Byung-hoon? Is it because you're Korean? ”
This aggressive way of talking made even Kim Young-hyun, who was accustomed to strict hierarchies, a little unbearable, but he still said humbly: "Mrs. "Shang Shi Palace" is a historical TV series, although there are a lot of entertainment elements in it, but the purpose is to show the splendid culture of the Song Dynasty. I've watched a few Hong Kong historical TV dramas, and I think their style is problematic, focusing too much on entertainment and not paying attention to the historical background and customs at that time.
Although director Lee Byung-hoon is Korean, he is very experienced in shooting historical TV dramas, and he is also a contracted director of Hangang Satellite TV. He filmed "Medical Dao" this year, which set a record of 63 in South Korea. With a 5% ratings miracle, I believe he is the best candidate to direct "Shang Shi Gong". ”
Everyone is working hard in the TV circle, how did Le Yiling not know about Li Bingxun, not to mention that the two belong to the same film and television group? I just think that a Korean director comes to direct a Chinese TV series, what should I do if I have language problems and communicate with actors? The heroine can use Lee Young-ae, what about the other actors, and the rest of the crew?
"There is no problem, SM Agency, a subsidiary of Hanjiang Group, has a large number of artists who have been trained in Beiping. We can pick an artist to join the crew, and then let him be Mr. Lee Byung-hoon's translator, and then we can solve the language problem.
Besides, according to the regulations of the TV station, our screenwriting team has to work with the crew, and my two assistants are good at English and Chinese, and they can also help as translators. ”
Listening to Kim Yingxian's explanation, Le Yiling has no objection, the rules of Hong Kong Satellite TV are different from TVB, and the screenwriter is the center here. It was decided to start filming "Shang Shi Palace", and its chief screenwriter Kim Young-hyun is one of the producers, and he has considerable decision-making power over both the actors and the director.
……
After seeing the new acting director, Kim Young-hyun breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he left the office building, this woman was too strong. Unbeknownst to her, she was about to stop the taxi, when she saw Gao Ying, the director of human resources, waving at her in a half-new black Toyota Crown car.
"Get in the car, Mr. Sun and Mr. Zeng want to see you."
"Yes"
A few minutes later, in Uncle Zeng's office, Kim Yingxian recounted all the details of his meeting with Le Yiling, and heard his grandson nod his head brightly and secretly. Gao Ying's recommended candidate is right, this Le Yiling is indeed very smart, buying people's hearts is the boss's business, and a professional manager only needs to do his job well.
"Ok, Miss Kim, you can go back to South Korea for a vacation, and come back when filming officially starts."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Sun, thank you, Mr. Zeng, Director Gao."
When Kim Yingxian came out of the office, Uncle Zeng was worried: "Ziming, if Ying-ae takes over the filming of "Shangshi Palace", will her body be able to bear it?" Don't lose a big deal because of a small thing! ”
"Yes", Sun Ziming, who was still laughing and groaning just now, also became distressed.
Hong Kong TV dramas are not as good as those in the mainland, they all shoot five episodes first, and if the audience responds well, they will shoot and broadcast at the speed of one episode a day, so as to adjust the plot at any time to cater to the audience's psychology. This kind of filming method makes Hong Kong TV dramas very much in line with the psychology of the audience, but it also makes Hong Kong dramas shoot extremely fast, and the main actors are very hard. Ying Ai has been pregnant for more than two months, although ancient clothes can cover the distortion of her figure, but can she afford this kind of work intensity?
The two couldn't help but look at Wang Fatzi, Sun Ziming knows about filming TV dramas in the mainland, and he knows a lot about filming Hong Kong TV dramas.
"There shouldn't be much of a problem", Wang Fatzi pinched his cigarette butt and found out the information he had just sent, and then explained: "The Song Dynasty clothing is loose, which can completely cover the deformation of the figure. ”
"I'm asking about the body, one episode a day!"
Sun Ziming's concern was chaotic, which made Wang Fatzi laugh and quipped: "Distressed? It's okay, when filming "Shanghai Tang", Zhao Yazhi didn't still have a stomach? If you don't believe me, you go and ask Fat Tsai.
Do you think her acting skills are really that good? It was because she was afraid of hurting the child in her belly, so she moved as little as possible, and it turned out to be a kind of beautiful effect! ”
Sun Ziming had heard this rumor, but he still didn't trust Wang Fatzi, who often ran trains in his mouth, so he made a phone call to Brother Fa before he put his mind at ease. Sun Ziming was relieved, but Wang Fatzi didn't know Li Yingai very well, and reminded: "Don't be too happy, you have to be willing to do this." Now there is a huge difference between the identities of movie stars and TV stars, and it is still a question whether she is willing to take on TV series again. ”
"It's okay, this is not an ordinary TV series, as long as you don't go on a business trip, it will be an epoch-making TV series. When I first came up with the idea, she was interested in starring, but she didn't dare to mention it to me at the time. ”
Wang Fatzi was stunned, this guy wants to play his own horse, and let others cast?
Sun Ziming laughed at himself: "Cut, you can make a joke to praise your horse, I can't be selfish, I have to be an example for you!" ”
This is really a bit like this, Sun Tzu clearly did not specialize in filming, and he praised his own woman, but Wang Fatzi knew that he was fine. Although he doesn't shoot it himself, he still does less to help Jiaming and Li Zhi tailor the script?
It's just that in front of Gao Ying, Wang Fatzi is not easy to expose him, so he has to sarcastically: "You hang, others are virtuous and do not avoid relatives, but you don't recognize your six relatives, and you are not afraid that your horse will turn your face with you!" ”
"Forget it, do you think Ying Ai is that Ah Zhen? Hey, a beautiful girl who has been holding for ten years, why do you just say that you will dump you? ”
Sun Ziming, who stabbed someone's sore spot, looked at the fat man Wang who was blue, hehe Zhile. In fact, he also has a hard time about this, he is not sure that the Chinese version of "Da Chang Jin" will be filmed a few years in advance, and if the story is moved to China, it will be able to create the same miracle.
Besides, the investment in this TV series is too large, with a budget of nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars alone, which has been well known to everyone in Hong Kong. A record investment, in case the ratings are not as good as expected, the media will definitely hype wildly, although everyone can afford to lose money, but face cannot be lost. Losing face means that the myth of light and shadow is broken, who would want the myth created by their own hands to be broken?
Sun Ziming saw that Wang Fatzi's face was a little unbearable, and he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, and there was a Gao Ying next to him.
"Alright, Ying Aina, I'll take care of it. Now to discuss the affairs of Southeast Asian cinemas and branches, we have to come up with an idea before talking to them with Golden Harvest. Uncle Zeng, you talk about it first. ”
This is a big deal, the investment is so big, there is no room for any carelessness, Wang Fatzi immediately lost the mind to deal with his grandson, and began to listen carefully to Uncle Zeng's thoughts.
