Chapter 117: Crossing the Theme

Yu Zheng rushed to Huayi Brothers 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 Wang Zhonglei and the editor-in-chief of Huayi Brothers, but found that the two 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. And Wang Zhonglei also specially told not to explain to Yu Zheng in advance, while giving him a surprise, he also looked good.

According to Wang Zhonglei's words: "Lin Mu's kid let us get out of trouble, and I'll let others out of it, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy." ”

"The chairman is so bad, but I like it, hehe!!" Minister Liu 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 Huayi Brothers publicly announced the director 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 decided on the director, "Step by Step" has taken away the popular candidates, which is simply a digging of fruits. Even if Yu Zheng is not the ultimate director, he is still digging into the wall.

Huaxia Film Group has a big business, so it is naturally not so stingy-minded, but those people below don't think so.

Other directors who covet the position of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" have ridiculed Yu Zhengming, hoping to film the sycophants of Huaxia Film 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 Huayi Brothers is not pleasing to the eyes of Huaxia Film Group, Lin Mu looks down on "The Emperor of Han Wu" and so on......

As a result, the whole of Huaxia was flooded with all kinds of remarks, and all those who paid attention to entertainment news were misled, thinking that Huayi Brothers and Huaxia Film Group had done it.

When Wang Zhonglei and Lin Mu saw this situation, they were stunned, and millions of alpacas kept rushing back and forth in their hearts......

And the chairman of Huaxia Film Group raised his head at a 45° angle and asked the sky speechlessly......

This fruit eater was shot while lying down!

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", Huaxia Film Group accelerated the progress, and finally decided on the director a week later - Li Chengshu, one of the five major costume directors in China.

……

But these Lin Mu didn't know, he had been busy looking for suitable actors, busy preparing for the micro-movie, and he didn't pay attention to his mobile phone, and he didn't even know that the battery was out.

After being busy, I found that the mobile phone was out of battery, and as soon as it was charged, Wang Zhonglei called Lin Mu, and another director had already been determined, and he happened to be in Huayi Brothers now, inviting him to go up and meet.

Lin Mu met the other director of his new drama in Wang Zhonglei's office.

He is about 160cm tall, thin and small, and wears a well-fitting tunic suit, but Lin Mu 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 Lin Mu still felt that he had a literati atmosphere, which was very comfortable.

Yu Zheng shook hands warmly when he saw Lin Mu, and praised Lin Mu'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.

Lin Mu and Yu Zheng quickly discussed the script, arguing with each other from time to time, and sometimes arguing about some plots and shooting scenes. However, in the case of flattering each other, the atmosphere is still harmonious.

Lin Mu was very shocked by Yu Zheng's profound historical skills at this time, and he consulted countless materials about the Kangxi Dynasty in his retreat for three months, and it was a little difficult to deal with some of Yu Zheng's language: "The research on the Kangxi Dynasty is so much deeper than himself, then he will definitely have a deep study of other dynasties, worthy of being a giant director of costume dramas, he still has a long way to go, but he can't be complacent." ”

And Yu Zheng was also shocked by the historical skills of Lin Mu at this time.

The two talked happily and felt that many points of view were very compatible, and Lin Mu didn't have to worry too much: "Director Yu, I think we have to readjust the script, and we must let the curtain involving the plot of 'crossing' be filmed at the end, so as not to leak the gimmick of 'crossing'." ”

Yu Zheng also agreed: "Yes, I think so too." It will take more than four months for this drama to be filmed, and it is inevitable that other TV series will speed up and rush to produce and snatch the title of the first 'crossing' drama. ”

……

On October 29th, the preparations for the crew of "Step by Step Shocking" were in full swing, and the script was revised by Lin Mu and Yu Zheng personally, and all the scenes involving the "crossing" information were moved to the second part of the script, and the first part of the script was completely the original Qing court drama.

This form of script has also existed in the TV drama and film production industry, but it is rare, and the purpose is to prevent other companies from quickly copying it or even snatching the first position.

In order to keep it secret, Wang Zhonglei, Yu Zheng, and Lin Mu can be said to have worked hard.

PS: I'm on my way home at this point...... I wish me a successful landing and no motion sickness, and hope to go home alive
