Fang Xing mentioned the names of several highest-level departments, not that they had to be these departments.

In fact.

These highest-level departments are also Fang Xing's choice.

Anyway, it is the department that picks up the power and says, cast a wide net, and it is enough to catch one.

Therefore, in the end, which department can be used to guide the shooting, it depends on the actual situation.

It also depends on which system Liu Jianan can speak in.

If they can't speak, then the project will be put on hold for the time being.

Anyway, without the endorsement of the highest-level department, this drama can't be filmed.

……

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Xinyan asked, "Did you bring the script here?" ”

"Brought." Fang Xing said as he took out a script printed on A4 paper from his briefcase.

Luo Xinyan took it and opened it to see.

In order to allow the competent authorities to quickly understand the script, Fang Xing wrote a synopsis of the story in front of the script.

Luo Xinyan only read the first page, and knew why Fang Xing had to find a superior department to guide the shooting:

"This script is so bold, no wonder you have to ask the higher authorities to endorse it.

"As far as the synopsis of your script, I don't dare to let you shoot it after reading it, and even if it is filmed, I don't dare to review it."

Fang Xing shrugged his shoulders and replied with a relaxed face: "Anyway, this is the case, if you can shoot it, you can shoot it, if you can't shoot it, I'll be busy with other projects." ”

If it weren't for the fact that Ark Culture had produced a drama king like "The Pretender", Luo Xinyan would have been able to throw the script in the trash when he saw the synopsis of the script.

It's not because the script is bad, it's that the story is too dangerous.

The story of this script is not a matter of stepping on the red line at all, it is simply that the entire script is standing in the red line.

It's no longer a question of whether or not restrictions will be relaxed.

"I'll see."

Liu Jian'an took the script and took a look, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

He was a little scared when he read this script.

He frowned and asked, "Can't you make a more secure anti-crime drama?" ”

Fang Xing looked at him, shook his head and smiled: "Secretary Liu, if you just want to make a solid anti-crime drama, and you don't have any requirements for ratings and popularity, you don't need to look for me, there are many companies in the film and television industry that can shoot it." ”

Liu Jian'an listened and was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly found that there was nothing wrong with what Fang Xing said.

If it is just to make a solid anti-crime drama and complete the tasks of the higher departments, then many companies in the film and television industry can shoot it.

Why did he have to find Fang to wake up and shoot?

Doesn't you just want to make an anti-crime drama that can reach the ratings, or close to "The Pretender"?

Only in this way can Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park make a name for itself in China.

Liu Jian'an thought about it for a long time and said, "Otherwise." I tried to hand in the script and see if any higher authorities were willing to direct it.

"Director Luo, you also hand over the script to the General Administration to see if you can get the guidance of the higher authorities."

Luo Xinyan nodded and agreed, "Okay, then give it a try." ”

If it were normal, he wouldn't stop this job.

However, it is now the state that encourages the creation of anti-crime works, and many higher-level departments are willing to guide the creation of anti-crime works.

Because the higher authorities also want to accomplish this task.

So, this thing could also go both ways.

After this meeting.

Luo Xinyan went back and wrote a letter, detailing the Ark Culture, as well as the film and television dramas filmed by the Ark Culture, attaching it to the script, and then handing it to the higher authorities for review.

Liu Jian'an also sought help from his superiors through his own channels.

……

After Fang woke up, he rested at home.

When there is no class, Lu Xianger will come over to eat together, play games, and watch TV.

This evening.

Lu Xiang'er suddenly wanted to eat hot pot, so Fang Xing drove her out to eat hot pot.

When ordering, Lu Xianger ordered beef, tripe, beef balls, mushroom platters and green vegetables, and finally ordered two bowls of rice.

Fang Xing raised his hand and interrupted, "A bowl of rice is enough." ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiang'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she snorted, "Why don't you let me eat rice?" I'm practicing so hard, can't I make up some carbs? ”

She looked down at herself and asked awkwardly, "Do you think I'm fat?" ”

Fang Xing was a little speechless, pointed to himself, and explained: "No, I don't let you eat rice, it's that I don't eat it." ”

Lu Xiang'er frowned, and asked suspiciously, "You usually eat a lot of food, don't you?" Why didn't you skip dinner today? Have you ever eaten with someone else? ”

"No, I just want to lose some weight." Fang Xing explained casually.

Lu Xiang'er was even more puzzled, looked up and down a few times, and asked, "You're not fat either?" Why lose weight? ”

"The next role to be played needs to be a little thinner, or a little sickly, and a little haggard."

Fang Xing will need to lose weight no matter which TV series he is going to shoot or the role he is going to play.

If you want to make a costume conspiracy drama, you even need to be a little haggard.

After Fang Xing finished explaining, he quickly changed the topic and pulled the topic back to her: "No, are you suddenly so unconfident?" Do you also have body anxiety? ”

Lu Xiang'er twisted her head to the side: "No, I'm a few pounds lighter than Ning Xiaoyun." ”

……

A few days passed.

Liu Jian'an came with news and asked Fang Xing to go to Kyoto with him.

As soon as Fang Xing heard it, he knew that there should be a reply to the anti-crime script.

The next day.

Fang Xing met Liu Jian'an on time, accompanied by Luo Xinyan and a secretary of the Ningyun District Party Committee.

The four of them took the bullet train to Kyoto.

After getting off the bus, a special car picked up the State Administration of Radio and Television.

After getting off the bus, a secretary of the State Administration of Radio and Television led the four people into the office building and met with a leader of the State Administration of Radio and Television.

Luo Xinyan helped introduce that the leader of the State Administration of Radio and Television is Deputy Director Guo Chunlei.

Originally, Fang Xing thought he was going to talk to Deputy Director Guo Chunlei about things.

Unexpectedly, after Guo Chunlei brought them to the conference room, he introduced another leader, Lin Yongsong, deputy director of the Propaganda and Education Bureau of a certain highest department.

This highest department, the Propaganda and Education Bureau, is responsible for ideological propaganda and education.

The creation of anti-crime works is a form of publicity.

Therefore, the arrangement of guiding film and television dramas also belongs to the work of the Propaganda and Education Bureau, the highest department.

Fang Xing didn't expect that he would really be able to meet a department with the ability to endorse today.

After the meeting, Fang Xing and several leaders of higher-level departments discussed things about anti-crime film and television dramas.

In the chat, Fang Xing learned that this highest department really wanted to supervise and guide the creation of anti-crime works.

However, what moved the leaders of this top department was not the anti-crime script handed over by Fang Xing, but the past works of Ark Culture.

Actually, just think about it a little bit.

The State Administration of Radio and Television may still know a little about TV dramas.

The leader of this highest department has a very limited understanding of TV dramas, and he can't tell whether the script is good or bad just by looking at the script.

Therefore, what can make the leaders of this top department pay attention to the works that Ark Culture has filmed in the past.

One of the most crucial is "The Pretender".

"The Pretender" was the king of drama the year before last, and was praised by the higher authorities.

It is very difficult for this kind of main theme film and television drama to be recognized by the audience.

Therefore, the leaders of the Propaganda and Education Bureau of the highest department feel that if Ark Culture can produce an anti-crime drama at the level of the drama king, it is also possible to endorse it in person.

That's why we have today's meeting.

At this meeting, the content of the discussion was not about how to shoot a TV series, but about conveying the ideas of the central government.

In the next two days, Fang Xing, accompanied by Guo Chunlei, deputy director of the State Administration of Radio and Television, and Liu Jian'an, met with a deputy director of CCTV.

In the end, the anti-crime script submitted by Fang Xing officially passed the review and was guided by the Publicity and Education Bureau of a top department.

Although the process is a bit tortuous, this anti-crime drama has finally been officially established.

Moreover, with the endorsement of the highest department, the project preparation was very smooth.

It's really that the guidance department of this project is too powerful, and in the film and television industry, no one dares to stand in the way of this project, unless they don't want to mix in the film and television industry.

……

Fang Xing didn't expect that this anti-crime film and television drama project could be approved so quickly.

couldn't help but have more speculation about Liu Jian'an's background.

At the beginning, Fang Xing knew that Liu Jian'an was parachuted, and he knew that he must have the support of his superiors behind him.

However, at first, I thought it should be a provincial leader.

Now it seems that the level may be higher, at least to be able to talk to a certain top department.

After the anti-crime drama was established, Ark Culture immediately began to make preliminary preparations.

The crew pulled up first.

Then it's about looking for directors and actors.

At the beginning, Fang Xing considered whether to let Zhang Yigao be the director, but Zhang Yigao had no experience in directing police and gangsters and anti-crime film and television dramas.

This anti-crime drama is very important, and there can be no problems.

After Fang Xing chatted with Zhang Yigao, Zhang Yigao took the initiative to give up being a director, and only asked to be an assistant director and follow suit.

Zhang Yigao knows very well that this anti-crime drama cannot have the slightest problem.

He himself was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, so he took the initiative to give up.

Subsequently, Fang Xing began to look for a director.

Mainly from directors with experience in police and bandits, anti-crime film and television dramas.

Thanks to the guidance and supervision of the State Administration of Radio and Television and a certain highest department, the search for directors and actors has been very smooth.

Many directors with experience in shooting film and television dramas on the theme of police and bandits and anti-crime are willing to contact and see.

After contacting several directors one after another, Fang Xing took a fancy to a director named Zhou Jitao.

This Chinese opera background is very professional, calm and calm, and has filmed many film and television dramas with the theme of police and bandits.

The schedule is also suitable.

For this reason, Fang Xing said that he could not sign on the director's column, but he should have a certain right to speak in the actor's performance.

Regarding Fang Xing's dual-director model, it is already a well-known thing in the film and television industry.

Fang Xing started from "Wulin Gaiden", and the film and television dramas he filmed were all dual-director, and the division of labor was clear.

This time, Zhou Jitao is an experienced director who is nearly fifty years old.

Fang Xing considered not signing in the director's column out of respect, but he still hoped that he could personally grasp the actor's performance.

Zhou Jitao said with a smile: "Director Fang is already out of the list in the film and television industry, why am I an exception?" It's not good if someone says I'm relying on the old and selling the old. ”

"No, this is a respect for Director Zhou." Fang Xing was very polite.

In fact, Fang Xing was very polite to people with real skills.

"I don't need these, I also co-directed people in my early years, as long as the division of labor is clear, in order to make the film well, even if there are occasional disputes, it is normal. I read the script, and I was really interested, so I wanted to join. Just follow your previous pattern, let's run in and see. ”

Zhou Jitao has watched all of Fang Xing's film and television dramas.

Therefore, he knows that Fang Xing's acting skills are definitely the only one among young actors, and even among Mesozoic actors, he can be ranked first.

He likes to work with people who are capable, and when he works together, he can always find surprises from the other party.

Fang Xing has proven his strength with many TV series.

Moreover, the guidance department of the anti-crime drama this time is a bit big, and Zhou Jitao is also willing to take on this drama.

After the negotiation, the director finalized, as before, co-directed.

After finalizing the director, the next step is to find actors.

Due to the endorsement of the highest department this time, Fang Xing can go to the National Theater and the literary and artistic departments of various military arts to find actors.

Although Fang Xing has always been very strict in the selection of actors, this time it is stricter than ever.

Since the beginning of "Wulin Gaiden", Fang Xing's requirement for actors is that they must have acting skills, and if there is no traffic of acting skills, they don't want to bring money into the group.

This time, the requirements are stricter, and even the characters with few scenes have high requirements for acting skills.

Zhou Jitao has been in the industry for 30 years, knows many actors, and has worked with many actors.

Therefore, there are many actors who were introduced by him to audition.

Fang Xing has clear requirements for the actors in each role, from image to age.

Even so, the process of auditioning actors is still hard.

Especially for the actors of several main roles, casting is very difficult.

even found a group of actors to audition for the leading actor, but Fang Xing was not satisfied.

"Are there any Mesozoic actors with better acting skills? The best on the big screen. ”

That afternoon, Fang Xing and Zhou Jitao auditioned for another group of actors to cast the male lead.

There are one or two, Zhou Jitao thinks it's okay, but Fang Xing is not satisfied.

"Actually, it's okay for Huang Xiao to play the male lead." Zhou Jitao pushed a resume in front of Fang Xing.

The actor named Huang Xiao has just finished the audition, and Zhou Jitao feels that he is passing.

Fang Xing shook his head, not knowing how to describe it, and raised his thumb and index finger: "It always feels a little bit less interesting." ”

Zhou Jitao propped his head and said: "I originally thought that my requirements for actors were strict enough, but I didn't expect you to be stricter than me." ”

Fang Xing looked at the resume in front of him and said, "Maybe it's because I have a preset character image in my heart, and I always want to find an actor who meets the requirements." ”

Zhou Jitao continued to prop his head and asked, "Didn't you star in your previous dramas?" Why don't you go on your own this time? ”

Fang Xing shook his head and replied, "I have thought about acting myself, but the image may not be so suitable." I'm acting on my own, which is a last resort. It's also because of this method that when I auditioned for the leading actor, I hoped to find someone who could play better than me. ”

Zhou Jitao couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "I said, you came to find it according to your own standards, it was really difficult." I don't look for it, I've seen your play, and I agree with you to play it. ”

"Don't you think my image doesn't quite fit the role?" Fang Xing turned his head to look at him.

"It's too handsome, try to be simple when applying makeup, there are many ways to solve this problem. As long as you don't wash your face for a week, you are guaranteed not to be handsome. Zhou Jitao joked, but what he said was serious.
