On the way to the filming site, Gu Jinyuan introduced the filming progress and some information of "Huanzhu Gege" to Gu Chen, after nearly two months of shooting, more than two-thirds of the filming tasks of the first 24 episodes have been completed, and it will be completed in about half a month.

Gu Chen is still very satisfied with this progress. According to his requirements, the backgrounds used in "Huanzhu Gege" must be real, which is also the reason why he went to the mainland to shoot live-action; Moreover, the characters' costumes, words and deeds, etiquette and manners, etc., should try to conform to the background of the times while satisfying the drama, for example, you can't always have such etiquette as shaking hands in Qing court dramas, which is completely out of line with the background of the times, so when choosing a director, he chose Gu Jinyuan, who has studied both Chinese and foreign ancient literature.

In a word, this will be a well-crafted Qing court romance drama, but fine-tuning means an increase in filming time and shooting costs, and it is true that the first part of "Huanzhu Gege", which has only 24 episodes in terms of filming budget, is more than 35 episodes, plus the first part of "I Have a Date with a Zombie", which also has special effects, so that when the filming plan was mentioned to the board of directors for discussion, it was denied by the other three directors, if it were not for Qiu Degen's support, "Huanzhu Gege" Even if it doesn't abort, it will be shoddy.

This is by no means what he wants to see, this is not to say that he has a preference for "Huanzhu Gege", but he knows very well how much ratings frenzy "Huanzhu Gege" brought in his previous life, so he wants to do his best as much as possible, that is, he is worried that a good drama will be smashed in his hands, which is definitely not something that can be described by the word "pity";

Tonight's filming is that Ziwei was forcibly taken by the queen to Kunning Palace while Xiaoyanzi was not there, and tortured to ask Xiaoyanzi's life experience and Yongqi, Er Kang, and Ertai's night exploration of Kunning Palace.

He motioned to Gu Jinyuan and asked the other party to get busy, and then walked to Zhao Yazhi, who was resting under a tree not far away. The latter obviously saw him too, stood up without waiting for him to get closer, took the initiative to shake his hand, and said with a smile: "I heard Director Gu say that Chen Shao was going to visit the class the day before yesterday." ”

"Hehe, as the person in charge of this drama, of course I want to come over and take a look, how about it, Miss Zhao is still used to it in the mainland, right?"

"It's not bad, the mainland's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has arranged some of them, but it's a little cold."

"Beijing is located in the north, which is naturally not as good as Hong Kong, so there should be heating in the hotel, right?"

"Yes, the hotel we stayed in was in good condition."

Receiving a positive answer, Gu Chen nodded, looked at the big-eyed woman standing next to him, and smiled: "This must be Miss Liu Xiaoqing, fortunately." ”

Liu Xiaoqing shook Gu Chen's hand with some excitement: "Hello Chen Shao, then I am your fan, and I have a collection of each of your albums." ”

Although the exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland are not very smooth, there will still be many Hong Kong goods that are transported to the mainland through normal channels or through smuggling, and these commodities are mainly some fashion products, such as clothing, cosmetics, etc., and film tapes and records are naturally included, but most of the video tapes and records circulating in the mainland market are pirated.

"Hehe, it's my honor to have a fan like you, what were you two talking about just now, oh, don't mind if I sit here."

Zhao Yazhi and Liu Xiaoqing sat back in their original places, while Gu Chen sat on a chair brought by a bodyguard.

"Sister Zhi said just now that she hasn't been shopping around in Beijing for so long."

Zhao Yazhi continued: "I used to read the Great Wall when I was studying, and it was rare to come to Beijing once, so I naturally wanted to go and see it. ”

Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "I think there should be a lot of people in the crew who have the same idea as you, after all, everyone only hears the name of some famous attractions in Beijing such as the Great Wall and the Summer Palace, so let's talk to Director Gu later, let him give everyone a day off tomorrow, if you want to rest in the hotel, you can rest in the hotel, and if you don't want to stay in the hotel, you can act with me, and all the expenses will be paid by me." As you said, it's rare to come to Beijing once, and I also want to walk around, and it's more crowded and lively. ”

Zhao Yazhi immediately smiled when he heard this: "That relationship is good, to be honest, Director Gu is too strict, we have been in Beijing for so long, and we haven't even let go of a day off." ”

Liu Xiaoqing also said: "I can be a tour guide for everyone then." ”

Gu Chen joked: "It seems that my decision can be supported by many people." ”

"Hehehe......" Zhao Yazhi chuckled a few times, then nodded and said, "I think whether it's from Hong Kong or the mainland, they will thank you." ”

Although the mainland government is happy to have more cultural exchanges with Hong Kong, as a way to increase Hong Kong people's sense of belonging to the mainland. It is also a green light for the Hong Kong crew to go to the mainland for filming, but it also has its own rules, that is, at least half of the people in the crew must be from the mainland, but there are no hard and fast rules on what positions these people hold, so half of the crew in "Huanzhu Gege" are mainlanders arranged by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, except for an assistant director, everyone else holds some less important positions.

The three of them chatted for a while, and the filming over there had come to an end temporarily, Tang Jinye, Ma Jingtao and Wu Weiguo all came over to greet him, and when they heard that they could have a day off tomorrow, the three of them immediately showed smiles on their faces, it seems that Gu Jinyuan is really not ordinary strict.

The filming lasted until almost ten o'clock, according to Ma Jingtao, this time was still early, the latest was almost two o'clock, and the next day I still had to get up at 7 o'clock.

Before returning to the hotel, Gu Chen told Gu Jinyuan about his decision to take a day off tomorrow, although Gu Jinyuan felt that it was a waste of the company's resources to give the crew a holiday for no reason, but Gu Chen naturally did not object to him, seeing his reluctance, Gu Chen couldn't help but say: "Strictness is a good style, but blindly strict requirements are likely to backfire, and a proper combination of work and rest is very necessary." ”
