Meng Xiaosheng is reluctant to take on Group B of "Breaking through the Guandong", is it because he has opinions about Su Yan and Xu Zhen?

No, of course not.

Although he has never worked with these two young actors before due to his active age and good at subject matter, Su Yan and Xu Zhen's reputations are not bad.

Regardless of the quality of their work or their personal ability, the two are among the best among their peers.

If he is in the crew of a commercial drama, Meng Xiaosheng is still very willing to cooperate with such a young man.

But......

This is "Breaking through the East"!

The actors in Group A are Lee Yongbin and Liang Minying!

On the one hand, there is a history of hard work in the future, and on the other side is the relationship between two young people and me......

How much fake wine do you have to drink to choose Group B??

Meng Xiaosheng originally took a fancy to the book "Breaking through the Guandong", mainly because of its theme.

When he thought that he was fortunate to be in charge of the camera and restore the history of struggle, blood and tears of the Chinese nation back then, he felt surging and uncontrollable.

When this drama is filmed, it is difficult to say what the results will be, but in terms of status, it will definitely be a masterpiece that can be recorded in the history of national dramas.

However, the reality is: the masterpiece is theirs, and I am in charge of filming the relationship......

Meng Xiaosheng was speechless and looked at the sky.

Although Group B also involves a series of historical scenes such as logging and platooning, the main plot is still about falling in love.

Handsome men and beautiful women, sister and brother love, uncle and sister-in-law taboo, elopement......

Live is a favorite idol drama.

Then the salary is paid according to the standard of period dramas......

Meng Xiaosheng was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall.

If you want to make an idol drama, there is a crew in Hengzhou, and a lot of tickets are lying flat to make money, I can afford to run to this deep mountain and old forest to suffer this crime? !

There is no money and no ideals, and the pot is in the coffin - both ends are empty.

However, out of the professionalism of a director, he still forced himself to film well, and he couldn't affect the quality of the series because of personal emotions.

Regardless of whether you like the subject matter or not, you can stably complete your own shooting tasks, which is called a director.

……

On July 1, the two film crews A and B of "Crossing the Guandong" were officially established.

On the first day of coming to the photography base, Meng Xiaosheng was afraid that the actors would not be able to enter the state, so he chose a martial arts drama instead of a literary drama.

The background of the story is probably that Tan Xian'er is the fiancée of Zhu Chuanwen, the eldest son of the Zhu family, but after a series of disasters, the two still failed to get together after all.

Zhu Chuanwen married another woman, and Xian'er saw him get married, and left in despair.

Unexpectedly, not long after he walked out, Chuanwu rode a horse and chased her from behind, pulled her on the horse, and led her to a forest hut without saying a word.

What they were going to shoot was this shot of a horse-riding man.

In order to film this scene, Xu Zhen went to the horse farm in the film and television city in advance and chose a brown-haired He Qu horse.

Touching the smooth hair of the little brown horse, he recalled the cute ...... he adopted when he was in the crew of "Three Kingdoms" No, Jade Lion, I miss it very much.

Hey, it's a pity, I'm too poor to raise a horse.

Otherwise, this docile animal is really too likable.

"Xiao Xu, do you know how to ride a horse?" Meng Xiaosheng asked.

Xu Zhen nodded and said, "Yes." ”

He wanted to say that he not only could ride horses, but also fed forage, brushed his back, and shoveled excrement, and was very skilled.

Meng Xiaosheng saw him turn over and get on the horse and ride around the racecourse, quite chic, so he didn't say anything more, and turned around to stare at the progress of the other staff.

What the director has to do is to coordinate the overall situation, not just revolve around the actors.

However, just when everything was ready and about to start filming, an unexpected little thing delayed their plans:

In the same filming base, another crew is setting up the set, and the sound of the chainsaw is very loud.

The crew of "Breaking the Guandong" has no dubbing, all the actors are recorded on the spot, and the sound of chainsaws will inevitably seriously interfere with their filming.

Meng Xiaosheng frowned, there was no way, he had to run to the other party's crew, planning to coordinate with them and suspend electrical equipment such as chainsaws during filming.

As a result, I didn't expect that when I got over there, the director of the other party was still an old acquaintance.

- Feng Yuan, Meng Xiaosheng's former classmate.

"Hey, old Meng! Why are you here? Feng Yuan greeted him very surprised and said, "Are you here to film too?" What about period dramas? ”

Meng Xiaosheng looked at the ancient wooden house built by the other party and asked, "What, are you filming martial arts?" ”

Feng Yuan said proudly: "No, Xianxia. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xiaosheng suddenly felt a little envious.

The theme of Xianxia has been quite popular recently!

Many film and television companies have come to me before and took a fancy to me to be the executive director for them, but Meng Xiaosheng gave up because of the conflict with "Breaking through the Guandong" in time, but now that I think about it, I am still a little greedy.

He had heard before that his old classmate seemed to have gone to Xiangjiang Pictures recently and filmed a few TV series with acceptable quality, but he didn't pay much attention to the specifics.

"Hey, Lao Meng, are you still filming period dramas?" Feng Yuan asked.

Before Meng Xiaosheng could say, can you stop the chainsaw first, hearing this question, he had to smile wryly and nodded.

Feng Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "The period drama is good, all the members are old actors, how worry-free is the director?" ”

"Unlike Xianxia dramas, handsome men and beauties grab a lot of them, all of them are the kind of young people who are particularly popular, but acting is almost meaningless."

Meng Xiaosheng couldn't change the topic stiffly, so he had to follow this conversation and ask: "Who is the male protagonist of your drama?" ”

As soon as he heard this question, Feng Yuan immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'm still a newcomer, and you may not have heard of his name when I said it." ”

"But if I were to say his masterpiece, you know for sure."

As he spoke, he pretended to pause mysteriously and said, "Have you ever heard of this year's CCTV eight sets of New Year's drama - "Blue Blood Sword"? ”

"The male protagonist of my family is the male protagonist of "Blue Blood Sword"."

Hearing this, Meng Xiaosheng was stunned.

The male protagonist of "Blue Blood Sword"?

Isn't that Xu Zhen?

He looked back suspiciously, and glanced at the bald man who was shoveling horse manure in the col not far away.

That's right, Xu Zhen is here with me.

But why did Feng Yuan say that the male protagonist of "Blue Blood Sword" was there with him?

Could it be ......

Meng Xiaosheng suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

- Could it be that Xu Zhen is playing??

"Rolling drama", as the name suggests, is the behavior of artists who cross-shoot two or more film and television dramas in the same time period.

Meng Xiaosheng knows that in places like Xiangjiang or Hengzhou, the crew is very close to each other, and there are often actors in a group.

In the morning, I played the emperor in crew A, turned right when I went out in the afternoon, and walked for five minutes to play a eunuch in crew B, which is commonplace.

But "Breaking through the East" is different.

The filming location of this drama is as far north as Aihui and south as the magic capital, almost half of China, and it takes nearly 20 transitions in the middle, how do you roll?

This is no longer a question of whether the actor is respectful or not, it is a question that cannot be done no matter what.

Just when he was puzzled, Feng Yuan on the other side had already solved his confusion and said, "It's the newcomer of Xiangjiang Pictures now, Han Qingfeng!" ”

Hearing such a name, Meng Xiaosheng was stunned for a long time before finally reacting: Ah, that's right...... Xu Zhen seems to be the second male lead......

There seems to be a fictional male protagonist in "Blue Blood Sword......

I only heard Feng Yuan continue: "...... Oh, you don't know, to cooperate with these little fresh meat, you have to be careful and careful, and you will be offered one by one. ”

"If you accidentally offend someone, it's the director's accident......"

He was chattering and showing off, only to hear a sound of footsteps not far away, two young people, a man and a woman, walked over from the bottom of the mountain and asked Meng Xiaosheng: Director Meng, the photographer asked when we could start shooting, and it has been a little bit now. ”

Meng Xiaosheng scratched his head helplessly, and just wanted to talk to Feng Yuan about business, but when he saw the other party looking at the two young people behind him in amazement, he suddenly stopped chattering just now.

This level of appearance ...... Are you sure it's the lineup of period dramas?

Why do I feel that my perception of aesthetics is skewed??
