Chapter 107: Is This a Taiwanese Celebration Drama?
Xu Zhen's next scene is an interior scene, and the room is relatively narrow.
In addition to Xu Zhen and He Jing, there are only a few indispensable staff members such as photographers and gaffers.
Therefore, other people who want to watch the performance can only gather around the director Du Qianshan and watch the real-time picture transmitted on the monitor.
Du Qianshan sat in front of the monitor and said to the two actors on the set with a walkie-talkie: "Jingjing, and Xiaoxu, you two don't have to be nervous." β
"This scene is not easy to film, we don't want to pass it once, we can come a few more times and choose the best one."
"Today is a lot of time, as long as this scene is filmed in the morning, we can go and get the lunch."
"Hahahaha......" The people around couldn't help but laugh when they heard the director say this.
At the same time, some well-intentioned people heard these words, but they realized other meanings from them.
Du Qianshan's words sounded like he was comforting the actor, but in fact, everyone smelled a trace of distrust from these words.
As for who to trust......
There were only two actors on the scene, He Jing had already filmed a scene just now, and the director didn't tell her at that time.
It goes without saying who this is comforting.
Du Qianshan didn't think about it so much.
The reason why he said this just now was simply to reduce Xu Zhen's pressure, hoping that he could travel lightly and play well.
Du Qianshan admits that he is not a person who pursues the ultimate in art.
Whether he is making movies or TV series, what he pursues is to make money at the extreme.
And it turns out that he chose Xu Zhen to play the role of Xia Xueyi, and he really chose the right one.
After the release of "The Peerless Twins", the young man's worth more than doubled.
Moreover, Xu Zhen still has a high popularity among young people.
Because of this, Du Qianshan's decision is also regarded by insiders as a typical case of "doing big things with less money".
Du Qianshan himself was not complacent about this.
Because, everything must be based on the premise that Xu Zhen can play the role of Xia Xueyi well.
If the TV series is broadcast by then, and the performance effect is not satisfactory, then this matter will become a laughing cake after people's dinner.
Du Qianshan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and stared at the screen of the monitor, only to feel that the air pressure around him seemed to be a little low, and his breathing was slightly difficult.
He glanced at the black pressed heads around him with his spare eyes, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "You can see it, but step back and don't get so close." β
When the people around heard this, they hurriedly took a few steps back.
However, just the closest position to Du Qianshan, a tall and thin old man was still standing in place, without the slightest intention of retreating.
Du Qianshan couldn't help but look back, wanting to see who this ignorant person was.
As soon as he turned around, he happened to meet the other party's gaze.
The old man pulled the mask down and grinned, revealing a mouth full of shiny dentures.
Du Qianshan was stunned, stood up from the chair as if electrocuted, and just wanted to speak, but the old man had already made a "shhh" gesture with him, signaling him not to call out his name.
Du Qianshan hesitated, pulled a chair from the side, and asked the old man to sit down.
"When did you come here? Why didn't someone pick you up? He asked in a low voice.
The old man said through the mask: "I happened to have an event over there in Qiantang, and I heard that you were filming here, so I stopped by to take a look." β
Since he is wearing a woolen hat and a mask at the moment, people who are not familiar with him may not be recognizable.
However, if he removed his disguise, there would be at least ten or more people around him who would be able to call out his name immediately.
ββThe current chairman of Heung Kong Pictures, Shao Renhe!
That is, the actual controller of the entire film and television company, as well as all its TV stations!
Shao Renhe saw that the filming had not started yet, and said with a casual smile: "It's rare, Xiao Du, you are willing to come to Hengzhou to film." β
"I came all the way just now, and I saw that the equipment and props I used were good, and I didn't spend a lot of money."
"Are you planning to send this "Blue Blood Sword" to next year's Taiwan celebration drama?"
November every year is the Taiwan Celebration Month of Heung Kong Pictures, and the TV series broadcast this month is also called the "Taiwan Celebration Drama".
Generally speaking, this kind of TV series are relatively high-quality and relatively large investment dramas of the year, and many annual ratings champions are also born from Taiqing dramas.
"Uh......"
When Du Qianshan heard this, he said with a little humility: "I have this idea." β
Chairman Shao has long been concerned about the company's specific affairs in the past few years, so he doesn't know how much money "Blue Blood Sword" spent.
Actually, the real amount is: 25 million.
25 million to shoot 40 episodes......
At this price, other film and television production companies can basically only shoot family ethics dramas.
But Du Qianshan, who is careful about budgeting, actually took this money to set up a team for a large-scale costume martial arts drama, and was asked by the leader "Do you plan to send it to Taiwan......
I have to say, it's also a talent.
As for why the crew of "Blue Blood Sword" saves so much money......
Of course, it's not just Xu Zhen alone.
- It's saved on all the actors.
First of all, the actor Han Qingfeng is a newcomer recently praised by the company.
The so-called "strong support" is the kind of person who is poured poisonous chicken soup by the company and opens his mouth and closes his mouth that "young people are important to opportunities, not just thinking about making money".
The black and strong Han Qingfeng played the leading role for the first time, and he was so excited that his eyes were full of stars, and he was so fooled by the company that he almost paid for it, and the salary was basically negligible.
The heroine Lin Jia is a third-tier actor who is still in college, how much money can she be worth?
Male No. 2 Xu Zhen, needless to say, 600,000 was easily won, a textbook-level white pickup.
As for the remaining supporting actors, more than half of them are Heung Kong Pictures' own employees, who receive monthly salaries.
Paid? What is remuneration?
There is no such thing as remuneration at all.
The salaries of other crews and actors are the most expensive.
When he arrived at Du Qianshan, he was deceived and fooled, and almost wiped out the entire item.
Chairman Shao Renhe didn't care about his specific operations, the old man just looked at the screen of the monitor with great interest, and said, "Oh, this young man is playing Xia Xueyi, right?" β
"Yes, the image is very good, but I don't know how to act."
Du Qianshan smiled and didn't dare to comment.
He stared at Xu Zhen on the screen, and prayed silently in his heart: Comrade Xiao Xu, you have to fight for it!
Today, the leader is on patrol, don't lose your brother's face!
β¦β¦
At this time, Xu Zhen on the set didn't know anything about the situation outside.
He was so immersed in the next plot that he had no time to care.
"Smack!"
Moments later, the clapperboard was played and filming began.
