Chapter 77: The Drama Begins Filming
In the conference room, a young man of literature and art sat around the long oval table.
At one end is Fang Yihua, and at the other end is Li Lecheng.
Everyone bowed their heads and listened to Fang Yihua's lecture.
Li Lecheng knew that many people present were waiting for Shaw to die so that they could get rid of the deed of sale, but if they really got rid of the deed of sale, where to go next and start over made them at a loss.
Now that it's good, they don't have to worry about it.
"Heads up!"
Fang Yihua slapped the table: "I know, you all want to make a movie, but the first thing we have to face is to survive!" Only if this TV series is successful, everyone can continue to make movies! All in all, the future of Shaw Brothers, your future, is all determined by this play! ”
As soon as the words fell, he raised his head and looked at Li Lecheng with blazing eyes.
Li Lecheng was neither salty nor light, clapping his hands quietly.
Everyone sighed in their hearts, and they were also convinced: On the pit man, he pits himself the most!
"International superstars" also have to make TV series.
Fang Yihua nodded with satisfaction.
And then it was gone.
After Fang Yihua left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhengqiang, who was borrowed by Fang Yihua from wireless, looked at Li Lecheng, Li Lecheng nodded, and said: "Ah Zhao is the producer of this drama, I believe everyone is no stranger to him, TVK's gold medal producer, I am too busy, I don't have time or experience to do this job, he is in charge of this drama, I believe it is the best." ”
After Li Lecheng filmed "The Sequel to Senior Brother Xinzha", he was also familiar with Zhao Zhengqiang, and he deeply examined his work ability, and felt that there would be no better candidate than him, so he asked him by name, which was also the result of his repeated discussions with Fang Yihua before.
Zhao Zhengqiang is not in the same complicated mood as the people in the Shaw Brothers headquarters, but this reverse borrowing is a huge opportunity for him, because on the TVK side, the drama production department has Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng pressing on top of him, and it is not his turn to be the boss, but in Shaw Brothers, there is only Fang Yihua in the director system, and as soon as he comes, he is naturally the boss of the drama production department here.
He naturally knew that Fang Yihua was trying to win him over, and Shao Yifu was also very simply left-handed to right-handed, anyway, he was the boss on both sides, which was considered to maximize the allocation of resource utilization.
Zhao Zhengqiang glanced at Li Lecheng, and Li Lecheng's appearance of sitting firmly on the wall made him so convinced that he had nothing to say.
Everything is because of him, but it doesn't seem to be beneficial to him personally, but Fang Yihua needs it, so he let her get her wish.
He knows what everyone wants. So...... What about him?
What does he want?
Zhao Zhengqiang didn't know.
But he's a very smart man, and he's one of the few people who thinks about it.
Whether it's Fang Yihua or Shao Yifu, they have always used their "shrewdness" to do what they think is the most cost-effective way. 驽. Manage. Others. As long as things are in their control, they don't care about what lies below.
Li Lecheng understands this better than anyone else, but he has no opinion.
Before Zhao Zhengqiang came to Shaw Brothers, he directly asked Li Lecheng this question, he really couldn't understand Li Lecheng, saying that he was very confused and submissive, but he seemed to be more clear and sober than everyone else, after all, it was easy to make many changes in Shaw Brothers and wireless, this is by no means an ordinary person, at least smarter than him, smarter than the sixth uncle and six aunts.
"Why? I like Shaw Brothers and I like TVK. At that time, Li Lecheng replied to him.
The last movie of Shaw Brothers to enter the top 10 box office on Hong Kong Island in the future is actually a TVK drama spin-off movie starring him. In this life, I have come back and forth, and in the end, there are scissors that cut incense. He's always been a simple-minded person, and it's really not for anything else.
……
"This drama has a total duration of 960 minutes, and the Hong Kong version is 40 minutes per episode, with a total of 24 episodes, 6 directors, and 4 episodes each."
Zhao Zhengqiang announced another personnel appointment.
The director of this play adopts the production method of an American drama, with directors who are close in style and aesthetics taking turns to serve as directors, and the producer controls the overall style and rhythm.
In this way, everyone is willing to take this job and do it well, so that they will not feel that they are making movies, they are not used to making high-duration TV series, and they will not feel that they have finally become a film director, but now they are driving backwards.
Actually, everyone doesn't have this problem, they are all cutting-edge directors in the film industry, and they all take the literary route, which is difficult to mix, and they basically have TVK work experience.
The 6 directors are: Chen Anqi, Zhang Wanting, Luo Qirui, Luo Zhuoyao, Fang Lingzhen, Guan Jinpeng.
Most of them are signed directors of Shaw Brothers, and there are also free people like Jin Peng.
"Kill chickens with a knife......" Li Lecheng looked at them and sighed in his heart.
One Ji and one Ji, two couples.
It's good, it will be harmonious and united at first glance, and there will be no fights.
The hero and heroine are still as Fang Yihua intended.
Ordered Li Lecheng and Nakamori Akina, Li Lecheng took it, Ming Cai definitely wanted to take it, Yan Yin Ben was very worried, and President Hanami secretly scolded Li Lecheng for giving them a serial set! I'm so angry that I want to bite my teeth! But this cake is so big and fragrant that a small firm like them can't refuse! Later, when they saw that Li Lecheng's band directly became the first group in Asia, they knelt down in seconds and begged to stuff another artist from their own office into the play.
Li Lecheng chose Tang Ze Shouming, who had just signed with them, to play the second male lead. This casting has to be a perfect idol who everyone loves at first glance.
He wanted to choose Masaharu Fukusugi, but unfortunately he was just a high school student who had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, and he didn't know where he was.
"Why did the second male choose an island countryman?" Zhao Zhengqiang was once very puzzled, so he asked him. This type can also be found in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he even considered Fei Xiang who turned the corner, and the second male was set to be a singer.
"There is obviously nothing wrong with this role, but it just doesn't please the audience, so naturally you have to find the one that is kind at first glance and has a good audience, otherwise no one will be popular if you play it...... What? Why do you want to become popular as an idol actor in an island country? Oh, of course it'......," Li Lecheng said only here.
Of course, it's to knock Kondo off the position of the first male idol in the island country! Foreigners are red again in the island country...... Who in the world has been popular with Michael Keeson? But can he squeeze Kondo's living space in the island nation?
No.
In the same way, so is Li Lecheng.
If Yanyin has a top male class, why do they still need to hug J's thighs, and they have to compete with them in the cracks? The main thing is red fast enough, jumping high enough, and I can't suppress it even if I want to. The J family must not accept the appearance of competitors on Yanyin's side, and Kondo's "mothers" have actually reversed their attitude towards chasing Mingcai, after all, "widowed mother and only child" is not a normal relationship between bosses and employees. The two offices broke up, and Akina and Kondo were able to quickly untie up. Tang Ze Shouming is already a perfect choice, the audience popularity, appearance, character and concentration on acting are very good.
The remaining important roles are all given to Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.
For example, the mother of the male protagonist and the second male protagonist found the crooked Gui Yalei, she is very suitable for this role, in fact, she is only 41 years old, but the flowering period of female stars is so short, and she has to prepare to play her mother if she is more than 35.
The female classmate of the heroine, and the second male and female protagonist had a love triangle in the early stage, and they found Zeng Huaqian of TVK.
Xia Wenxi, the role of the actor's ex-girlfriend, didn't play, so she found another actress from Shaw Brothers, Yu Yu. It is the one who got married and divorced from Ah Fata. She is actually one year younger than Li Lecheng, but because she debuted early, she now feels like an actress of the previous generation.
With the actors also joining the group one after another, everything is ready, and the TV series officially starts filming.
