Looking back at the popular TV series around 2000-2005, they basically have one thing in common, that is, they are both costume TV series.

"Young Bao Qingtian", "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", "Young Zhang Sanfeng", "Li Wei as an Official" ......

Under the basic template of ancient costumes, you can add any elements at will, such as mythology, love, suspense, funny, etc., no matter how hodgepodge the subject matter is, the audience just loves to watch it.

In addition, strictly speaking, Kim Yong Kim and Gu Long martial arts dramas are also included in costume dramas, so after calculation, costume dramas can be said to dominate the TV drama industry.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there is no way to deform the deformed phenomenon of the proliferation of costume dramas in the mainland.

In the past few decades and twenty years, the TV drama industry was the world of modern dramas, such as "Alien Girl", "Plainclothes Police", "Longing", "Imperial Capital in New York", "I Love My Family" and other modern dramas, which were popular all over the country at that time.

At that time, there were very few costume dramas in the mainland, except for the four famous novels, there were only some traditional mythological stories.

Until recent years, Xiangjiang and Wanwan began to co-produce costume dramas with the mainland, and with the popularity of "Huanzhu Gege" and "Xiao Li Flying Knife", the entire TV circle clearly realized the strong potential of costume dramas, so everyone went down to seize the market.

The rapid development of costume dramas in the mainland is actually related to the economic level. In the early years, filming TV dramas was mainly to save money, and the scenes, props, and costumes of costume dramas were a big expense, and only large crews funded by the state had the strength to shoot.

Around 2000, many mainland private film and television companies appeared, and they looked at the big cake of costume dramas, so naturally there was no reason to give it to their counterparts in Xiangjiang and Wanwan one after another.

According to his own memories, Fang Yan asked someone to check the situation in the TV circle, and what was depressing was that classic costume dramas such as "Young Bao Qingtian", "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", and "Martial Arts History" had already started filming and were about to be broadcast.

"Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" and "Young Zhang Sanfeng" both belong to the kind of TV series that rely on actors, the former one leaves Zhang Guoli, Zhang Tielin, and Wang Gang's "Iron Triangle" combination, and the latter leaves the "comedy genius" Zhang Weijian.

Fang Yan will never be able to dig up the "Iron Triangle", Zhang Guoli himself is the owner of a film and television company, and it is impossible for him to work and film for others.

On Zhang Weijian's side, they are going to shoot the TV series "Xiaobao and Kangxi" with Wang Jing, and if they want to ask him to film, they will have to wait until the second half of the year.

NND, is it so troublesome to find a TV series that can be filmed?

Fang Yan felt very helpless in his heart, he had thought about filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Wulin Gaiden", but now is not the time, he can only wait for another two years.

Fortunately, there is a law of conservation of character, and after Fang Yan touched the wall a few times, he finally found two classic TV series that could be filmed - "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" and "Love Through Time and Space".

"The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang", the original is the novels of Wanwan female writer Xi Juan, "The Wrong Sedan Chair to Marry the Right Lang" and "Please You Will Just Talk", the story tells a suspenseful and interesting ancient folk love story.

This TV series is the childhood memories of many people, and the story setting of the two heroines is very in line with the trend of the times, and it has become popular with several young actors such as Nie Yuan and Huang Yi.

Fang Yan is really in the middle of nowhere, as soon as the author of the front foot has been contacted to buy the copyright of the novel, the investor of the original history of the back foot has been found.

This is a preemptive step that directly determines the final success or failure!

The name of "Love Through Time and Space" should be known to every post-90s generation, this TV series is the first cross-border romance drama in the mainland, and it is the originator of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and "Step by Step Shocking".

What is laughable is that this drama is still the setting of two heroines, and I have to say that the influence of "Huanzhu Gege" is indeed unparalleled.

After the two TV series were selected, Fang Yan simply wrote down the plot outline and handed it over to the company's screenwriter to improve the details.

Xinghuo Film and Television's current company capacity is not enough to start filming two TV series at the same time, so Fang Yan plans to shoot "The Wrong Sedan Chair to Marry the Right Lang" first, and then "Love Through Time and Space".

Regarding "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", Fang Yan is also very distressed, that is, most of the company's current cast does not meet the requirements of the characters.

One of the main selling points of this costume romance TV series is that handsome men and beautiful women, Nie Xuan, Huang Yi, and Sha Yi are all fairy appearances when they are young, which is much stronger than those idol stars in later generations.

In Xinghuo Film and Television, the three male actors have nothing to do with the word "handsome", if they are allowed to act in this type of TV series, it is unbearable to look at them directly.

As the two most important heroines, Miss Wuguan Li Yuhu has an eccentric, naughty and cute personality, while Du Bingyan, a wealthy businesswoman, is completely opposite, with a gentle and quiet personality.

Look at the personalities of these heroines, whether they are familiar or not, yes, they are still the same as "Huanzhu Gege"!

Yu Nan has a handsome and cold temperament, she can play the policeman who is one of the heroines of "Love Through Time and Space", but she can't play any of the heroines of "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Husband".

The only fortunate thing is that Gao Yuanyuan is perfectly in line with the role of Du Bingyan, and it is very suitable for her to play it.

"It seems that you need to find an actor, and the best situation at that time is to be able to sign the other party."

Fang Yan began to think about actor candidates in his mind, for him, an investor, while making money from making TV series, he also hoped that the popular actors would be from his own company.

Fortunately, the TV series has just been established, and Fang Yan has plenty of time to consider the issue of actors.

…………

"Smack-smack-"

Fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the night sky, one after another, as if there was no gap, and the entire sky was brightened.

Tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and before you know it, Fang Yan has been traveling for more than a year.

"Wang-"

"Meow meow—"

At this time, in Fang Yan's ears, dogs barking and cats barking came and went, and the two sides responded one after another, so it was not lively.

During this year's Spring Festival, Fang Yan took his mother to the imperial capital, and the family celebrated the festival in the renovated courtyard.

Compared with before, the current courtyard looks much more magnificent, with rockery pools, blue bricks and gray tiles, wood carvings and ornaments, and the whole has a kind of Chinese beauty that contains and elegance.

Walking into the house, yellow pear and mahogany furniture can be seen everywhere, and it is matched by some exquisite small antiques and a few elegant paintings.

Fang Yan has a plan in his heart, in the future, he can collect more antiques and famous paintings, and when the time comes, it will not only look good, but also make a steady profit and not lose money.

"Xiaoyan, come and clean up the table, let's prepare for dinner."

"Okay, I'll be right here!"

After a busy time, chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables were all on the table, and the family watched the opening of the Spring Festival Gala and toasted each other happily.
