End of June.

Magic City, Huashang Studio.

This is a large crew with thousands of people working in the field, and all kinds of camera equipment have already been set up, and the direction of the three camera lenses is a very spacious and grand office, and Li Mu is sitting behind the oval conference table.

On the seat across a chair on the left is Anne Hathaway, and on Anne Hathaway's left is Michael Caine, the professor who once played the male protagonist Cobb's father-in-law in "Inception", here he is the father of Anne Hathaway's character, and he is also a foreign professor at the Huaxia Space Agency.

Opposite Michael Caine is Hu Jun, who plays a senior official of the Huaxia Space Agency here, and does not have many scenes. At the front of the desk, a picture frame of six people in spacesuits hangs to indicate that this is the conference room of the Huaxia Aerospace Administration. The actor standing next to the photo frame is Yu He Wei, the role he plays today is the same as Hu Jun, he is a senior official of the Huaxia Aerospace Agency, and he also has not many scenes.

"Interstellar" was officially launched two days ago, and the crew held a brief press conference, and then announced the official start of filming at about 11 o'clock in the morning of the same day.

The person sitting in the director's chair at this moment is Guo Fan, the film "Space Traveler" directed by him some time ago has been officially announced, because the editing studio of Huashang Media is located in the magic capital, and the director of Huashang Film generally does not have the final editing right, so Guo Fan has plenty of time at this moment, so he called Li Mu and asked for help from the crew.

"Interstellar" is a science fiction masterpiece with an investment of up to $150 million, and the director is Li Mu himself, for a director like Guo Fan who is interested in shooting science fiction blockbusters, this will be an extremely rare learning opportunity.

Guo Fan originally planned to just come over to see the world, if he could help a little more, of course it would be the best, but he didn't expect that after arriving at the crew, Li Mu directly gave him the title of assistant director, this is not over, "Interstellar" Li Mu is both the director and the starring role, so who should temporarily sit in front of the monitor for him when Li Mu is acting? That's right, Li Mu handed over this very important task to Guo Fan, who just wanted to learn and learn.

Guo Fan himself was flattered and a little eager to try, while the other staff members of the crew lamented that Director Li attached great importance to Guo Fan.

Before the official start of filming, several actors had rehearsed many times, and this time, with the order of assistant director Guo Fan, today's scene officially began.

At the desk, Yu He Wei, a senior member of the Huaxia Space Agency, is introducing the situation to the protagonist who came here for the first time.

"We've been detecting gravity anomalies since fifty years ago, mostly with small distortions in our instruments in the upper atmosphere, and I'm sure you've encountered them yourself."

At this time, the No. 3 machine was aimed at Li Mu, and Li Mu said: "Yes, on the straight, in that accident, the control system was interfered with by external forces. ”

Li Mu's performance, whether it is body language or character expressions, is introverted on the whole, that is, it will not make people feel that they are acting too much, and the exaggerated performance similar to staring and frowning is completely insulated from Li Mu, just like now, a common line makes people feel that the man in front of him has a different story.

Yu He Wei continued: "That's right, among all the anomalous phenomena, the most significant is this ......."

Yu He Wei pressed the remote control in his hand, and a set of space pictures began to play on the display screen next to him, and Yu He Wei continued while demonstrating to Li Mu: "In the vicinity of Saturn, time and space have been distorted! ”

"Is it a wormhole?" Li Mu looked at the display screen in front of him and said.

……

"Cards!"

After Guo Fan shouted the card, several actors still maintained the state just now, no one looked for a place to rest, Li Mu walked to the back of the monitor to check the content just filmed, and occasionally discussed a few words with Guo Fan during the period, and then officially announced that the one just now had passed, and it was not until this time that the state of several actors relaxed.

This scene just now is about the people from the Huaxia Space Agency introducing the situation to the actor who came here for the first time, mainly about the fact that forty-eight years ago, a wormhole appeared around Saturn.

After this article passed, the crew quickly started the filming of the next scene after a short preparation.

The next scene is about NASA's two plans, Plan A is to use gravity anomalies to build a large-scale space station, and then let everyone live in this space station, which is certainly not easy, and then there is Plan B, where a small number of people take human embryos to alien planets.

……

Meanwhile.

The negotiation on the copyright transfer of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has also entered a substantive stage, and as Li Mu publicly declared that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the ceiling of similar dramas in his mind, for a while, all the top David TV and major video websites in the country are in full swing.

In the past, TV stations and video websites never looked at the content of Huashang's dramas, even if Huashang invited everyone to watch, everyone basically just watched a film and couldn't wait to inquire about the price, at that time, everyone basically bought dramas with their eyes closed, after years of development, now everyone trusts the super high quality of Huashang dramas.

But this time it was a little different.

First, there are too many episodes of this drama, with 76 episodes, which are worthy of the weight of two ordinary TV dramas. And the total unit price of Huashang dramas has reached a sky-high price of 8.3 million long ago, and 76 episodes with a unit price of 8.3 million yuan, almost all units are a little unbearable.

Second, from the announcement of the casting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to the official release of the first makeup photo, the doubts it has received have never been broken, although everyone trusts the reputation of Huashang Company, but in the face of such overwhelming doubts, everyone dare not be cautious.

Therefore, this time, without waiting for the invitation of Huashang, each family took the initiative to ask to see the content first.

In this regard, Huashang will naturally not refuse.

So all the Davids.

Such as Beijing, Tianjin, Zhejiang, Suzhou, Oriental and so on.

There are also various video sites.

Like Tencent, iQiyi, Youku and so on.

Almost all of them sent their own sizable teams to try out in advance.

Everyone is more curious, with Li Mu's identity today, he actually publicly publicized that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the first among similar dramas, is this hype, or is this currently controversial drama really so good?

The venue for the preview was in the conference room of Huashang Media, and on the day of the trial, the huge conference room was crowded with people who came.

The TV station is a little better, each one basically sends two or three people to come, while the lineup of video websites is much larger, often seven or eight people.

These video sites are all private enterprises,Because they have to pay for their own profits and losses,So they pay more attention to this trial,The website even sent groups of different ages and genders,For example, two young women、Two middle-aged women、An elderly woman、A middle-aged man and so on。

In this way, after the trial is over, through the evaluation of these employees of different ages and genders, you can roughly guess whether there is a market for the new drama and how big the market is.

For most women, this opportunity to come to Huashang Media to try out is undoubtedly very exciting.

From "Step by Step" to "Palace Lock Heart Jade", Huashang Media's palace fighting dramas have always been above the level, and it is certainly worth being excited to see in advance that even Director Li Mu has personally stood up to endorse "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is the first drama of its kind.

But for the few men who were sent here, this opportunity was somewhat frightening.

Men generally rarely watch palace fighting dramas, don't watch "Step by Step" and "Palace Lock Heart Jade" are a hot mess, how many of the ten men have really watched these dramas?

Therefore, the male employees who came together looked at their female colleagues who were inexplicably excited, and often couldn't help but complain from their hearts.

"Is this so gratifying? To be honest, I don't even want to come! ”

"This drama has been filmed for 76 episodes, so many? A palace fighting drama actually filmed 76 episodes? Is it worth filming so many episodes about the emperor's harem? ”

"76 episodes, 45 minutes each, how long will it take to finish it!"

"If you want me to say, you shouldn't let us men come with you, who are men watching Gong Dou, investigate our men's opinions on a Gong Dou drama, isn't this nonsense? No one is watching! ”

Before the official start of the trial, Liu Siying asked everyone not to video, and finally said that in order to save everyone's time, today's trial will be played at 1.5 times the speed.

Some of the women in the conference room couldn't help but look disappointed when they heard this, but a few of the men who came were happy.

If they were given the choice, most of these people would play at 2x speed – no, 3x faster!

The audition soon began in earnest.

Most of the men in the conference room are like nails under their buttocks, and they can't sit still, everyone really doesn't like this kind of theme, even women who are more interested in this theme, and they don't think "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is amazing at the beginning.

To say fine.

The service is indeed very sophisticated, to say that this is definitely the number one in the domestic drama, but who made it a Huashang drama? Since it is a Huashang drama, it is natural to accept everyone's high requirements for yourself.

Isn't Huashang's TV series costumes excellent?

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is well-served, this is a basic operation, there is really nothing to surprise, and the heroine Sun Li is indeed not beautiful enough, and the emperor played by Chen Jianbin, the first impression is indeed not very good.

But as time passed, most of the women present had gradually integrated into the plot.

In the previous life, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" could be popular for more than ten years, and even formed the so-called "Zhen Xue", how could it not have some outstanding features?

As long as you can calm down, then most people will definitely be able to watch it, and among those who can watch it, a considerable proportion of people will become fans of this show.

This is almost the same process for this trial.

At the beginning, the middle-level male employees sent by several video sites often didn't watch it very seriously, but gradually they also found that the plot was quite interesting.

And the women who were originally interested in this theme quickly integrated into the plot and began to worry about the fate of the heroine Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others.

And when they saw Concubine Hua played by Jiang Xin officially appear, most of the people at the scene felt that their eyes were bright.

"This Concubine Hua is so dragged!"

"Jiang Xin's acting skills are good!"

"The casting of the heroine Sun Li is actually very good, and Jiang Xin's Concubine Hua is definitely a surprise!"

……

Then about two hours later, the TV series had reached its fourth episode.

"Mr. Liu, let's see at a normal speed."

This sudden sound made everyone stunned for a moment.

Everyone turned around when they heard this, and they were surprised to find that the person who said that they wanted to watch at a normal speed was the one who just started to complain that they were men.

It was not until this time that many female viewers who had already been addicted to the plot realized that everyone had actually been watching at 1.5 times the speed for so long.

Just now, these people had in their minds that the plot was not bad, the heroine was not as bad as the one fried on the Internet, and it was Concubine Hua played by Jiang Xin who was a big surprise, because they were more concentrated, but they ignored the fact that everyone was watching at 1.5 times the speed.

On the contrary, some of the men in the conference room, although everyone also thinks that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is different from ordinary Qing court dramas, and few of them can watch two episodes of ordinary Qing court dramas, but they didn't feel annoyed at all after watching this one all the way.

Not only did I not feel annoyed, but I even thought it was interesting, so I took the initiative to propose to watch it at a normal speed.

As soon as the man here's suggestion, the woman over there also echoed it, and Liu Siying, who was accompanying her on the spot, was as good as a stream, and soon the playback speed was adjusted to normal.

Observing the reactions of so many people at the scene, Liu Siying knew that this "The Legend of Zhen Huan" should be stable.

……

This trial lasted for a total of three days, and because it was broadcast at a normal speed, even if it was as long as three days, everyone still couldn't watch the entire TV series.

Ten episodes a day, a total of thirty episodes aired in three days, less than half of the total number of episodes, but enough.

What is going on with this TV series, all the people who participated in this audition know in their hearts.

When these people returned to their units, rumors that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" would be a divine drama began to spread.

Especially in terms of video websites, regardless of men and women, regardless of age, the evaluation of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is almost surprisingly consistent.

"It is recommended that we must win this "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Director Li Mu said that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be the first drama of its kind, I think this is a fact, Director Li Mu's words are not exaggerated at all."

"At the beginning, the contradictions and conflicts were not particularly intense, and the male and female protagonists were not common idol dramas handsome men and women, but as long as you watch it patiently, you will find that the level of this drama even beats "Step by Step Shocking" and "Palace Lock Heart Jade", whether it is the sophistication of production, the way of service, or the play of the characters in the play, they have all the previous similar dramas that have been hit!"

"It is strongly recommended to win "The Legend of Zhen Huan" at any cost, even if it is a lot beyond the market price, it doesn't matter, it is estimated that it will not be able to take it at all if it does not exceed the market price, and this time several other video sites will most likely have to spend money!"

At this time, the attention of various TV stations and major video websites to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has almost all reached an unprecedented height.

A drama is not only a new drama of Huashang Media, but also endorsed by director Li Mu himself, claiming to be the first drama of its kind, and now it is praised by almost all people of all genders and all ages who participated in the audition, so of course this drama is also likely to explode.

The crux of the matter is that while he is finally willing to give up his blood, almost all of his competitors are also willing to give up his blood.

This is not easy to do, if you don't do it, a brand-new, and even a little scary TV series will be born with a new record of sky-high copyright prices!

Recently, I feel that the writing is getting worse and worse, and I'm a little sorry for everyone, ashamed.
