Chapter 423: Filming Begins

After coming out of the oncology department, Zhao Heng just returned to the office, and after sitting down for a while, he saw Luo Ji with the two male and female protagonists from yesterday, as well as several crew members, some carrying cameras and some holding backlight panels, came to the door of the office.

"Lao Luo?"

Zhao Heng stood up, a little surprised, this Uncle Luo Ji's efficiency is too high, he just said yesterday that he was going to come to the scene, and he came over today.

"I didn't expect to come so quickly."

Luo Ji said to Zhao Heng with a smile.

In fact, at Luo Ji's age, it is already time for ordinary people to retire, but in the art circle, sixty years old is just another, many old artists, in their seventies and eighties, are much better than today's young people, art makes people young, this is not a casual talk.

Next, Luo Ji sat down naturally, the leading actors Ren Cong and Zhang Li also sat next to him, and several staff members began to debug the filming equipment.

"Filming is going to start today?"

Zhao Heng asked with interest.

To be honest, observing the filming of a TV series up close is still a relatively rare experience for ordinary people.

"This drama company is preparing to make this year's high-quality drama, and in terms of framing, it will be much more detailed, if it doesn't start now, it will be too late in time."

Luo Ji nodded and said.

"What do you need me to do?"

Zhao Heng went on to say that he and Luo Ji were also good friends, so if he could help, he would definitely help.

Of course, with Luo Ji's status, he actually doesn't need Zhao Heng to help him, if he gets sick, then it's another matter.

However, Zhao Heng didn't want Lao Luo to get sick and find him one day.

"You're still happy, unlike a company, it's hard to set up a project."

Seeing Zhao Heng looking so happy, he didn't need to say it, he brought it up, Luo Ji was in a very comfortable mood, at his age, everything he should enjoy has already been enjoyed.

Therefore, for Luo Ji, the most important thing in his current life is to be happy and happy.

Zhao Heng's year-old friend can bring him this rare feeling.

"Actually, you don't need to do anything, just familiarize yourself with the environment, and shoot more footage without affecting your work."

Luo Ji thought for a moment and said.

"That's fine."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Originally, the company had a film and television city, where the scenery and props could be made, but if it was filmed in a real hospital, the audience's sense of substitution would be stronger."

Luo Ji explained a little.

In order for this drama to finally present a better effect, Luo Ji is also heartbroken, at least, he wants the audience to see a different medical drama from the past.

"Can I make a suggestion?"

Zhao Heng couldn't help but say when he saw Luo Ji looking so serious.

"Well, you say."

Luo Ji nodded, he was very curious, what kind of suggestion Zhao Heng would make, Ren Cong and Zhang Li, who were sitting on the side, were also full of curiosity.

After returning from the hospital yesterday, the two of them became interested in Zhao Heng, a young department director, and they also got to know each other a little, but this is a little understanding, good guy, it's just amazing.

Genius is not enough.

"I think it's too delicate in the medical dramas of the past few years, the doctors and nurses are too exquisite, Lao Luo, you will also know the current workload of our medical staff, it is impossible to maintain an energetic appearance at all times, and it is impossible for female doctors and nurses to wear exquisite makeup at any time."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.

This is what he has always wanted to complain about, at least, if he goes to a long white shift, or is on a night shift, the doctors will look very haggard, at least there are dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are red, not to mention his hair, it is also messy, and the night shift work

What a hurry, who has the time to take care of it.

"You said that this is true, but Xiao Zhao, you also have to understand a little, after all, this is a TV series, if it is too realistic, it will lose some audiences."

Luo Ji thought for a moment and said.

"It doesn't have to be realistic to the kind of real documentary, it's similar to the kind of hurricane that was very popular some time ago, I think it's about the same."

"Of course, I'm just a layman, so I'll just give you a random suggestion."

Zhao Heng said.

The drama Hurricane still left a deep impression on Zhao Heng, although the popularity of this TV series has passed, it still left an extremely deep impression on many audiences.

"That kind of popular TV series can't be released casually, the right time, place and people are indispensable, but what you said is also that the current urban dramas are going in the direction of refinement, living in a big house and driving a good car, which is basically far from the real life of urban white-collar young people."

Luo Ji said very approvingly.

There is a problem on a certain level, and the popularity is very high, and that is

[Why are more and more domestic urban dramas not grounded now? ] 】

Gao Zan replied like this.

[In a certain drama, the male protagonist's parents died, and he lived in a big city with his sister, he was poor, needed to go to school, and needed to support his sister, but he could still rent a house of more than 200 square meters in Shenhai City and wear all kinds of fashionable clothes. He needs to work part-time, and he needs to work three odd jobs a day, but still have enough time to go to school and study.

Bubble Heroine】

Perhaps, in the hearts of these directors and screenwriters, the definition of so-called poverty and ordinary life is different from ours.

Maybe the director also wants to be down-to-earth, but in their opinion, living in a bachelor apartment with an elevator, commuting by car, working as a white-collar worker in a high-end office building, and going to a bar for a drink after work, isn't this the life of ordinary people?

Even this is still the life of [very poor] ordinary people, the hero and heroine can only drive BYD, they can only live in a small room with two bedrooms and one living room, and worry about parking fees and utility bills, isn't this down-to-earth?

Just like when many people complained about the era of naked marriage, a poor person who had to marry naked actually lived in a big house with three bedrooms and one living room, and the husband and wife were holding the new Apple mobile phone, and the naked marriage people around me, a family of three were crammed into a small house of 35 square meters, and someone coughed in the corridor, and the whole family could hear it, and they would hit the wall when they turned over.

Maybe it's not that you can't shoot it, but it's that you've been flying in the sky for too long, and some people have long forgotten the smell of the land in their minds, and it's impossible to go underground to shoot and smell the stench in those stinky ditches.

"I still have to be you, Lao Luo."

Listening to Luo Ji's words, Zhao Heng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart, a big director who has gained fame and fortune in the entertainment industry can also focus on the lives of ordinary people, and try to shoot the lives of ordinary people, or ordinary medical staff, which is already very difficult.

And the actions of some experts, such as a recent authoritative expert, have said this about the livelihood of ordinary people under the current decline in the employment rate and the economic downturn: "There are many ways to increase the income of low-income groups, for example, you can rent out your idle housing and use the rent to increase your income, or you can drive a Didi car if you have a car."

"Director Zhao, Director Luo, I have different opinions on this matter."

Just when Zhao Heng and Luo Ji were chatting happily, the actress Zhang Li suddenly said.

When Zhao Heng and Luo Ji were chatting, Ren Cong looked bored, and the female lead, that is, Zhang Li, who had a [vase] character design, white skin, beautiful and long legs, listened very seriously.

"Well, you say."

Luo Ji nodded, looked at Zhang Li and said.

Zhao Heng was a little curious, what would this Zhang Li say.

"Director Luo, Director Zhao, I agree with what you said about the current TV drama shooting that is out of reality, but I also have different opinions, in fact, with the current level of editing economy in China, in big cities, they basically live the lives of ordinary people, so I think these editors understand the lives of ordinary people."

"The reason why it's not so realistic

, it is indeed an exaggeration, there is a situation that does not conform to reality, for example, a person works hard as a white-collar worker in a big city but lives in a big house and a high-end apartment, what I think is, are these dramas filmed for some specific groups of people?"

Zhang Li slowly expressed his opinion.

As soon as she said this, Ren Cong, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he had rediscovered Zhang Li.

Originally, after joining the crew, he thought that Zhang Li was a vase, but she didn't expect that Zhang Li could say such profound words.

"Haha, when Xiao Zhang said that, the two of us fell in love."

"Indeed, you are right, many dramas look outrageous, in the words of the Internet, very thunderous, but the ratings are really good, although the ratings are low, but they can make money, and the audience is still very wide."

Luo Ji has always been a big director, but what he has been filming is all serious dramas and boutique dramas, and he doesn't pay much attention to this aspect.

"What do you mean by this that what kind of drama has the most on the market and depends on the aesthetics of the vast majority of audiences?"

Zhao Heng had a little aftertaste, and Zhang Li meant what he meant when he said this.

"Where there is demand, there is a market, Director Zhao."

Zhang Li smiled and said, although the smile is very gentle, there is no other kind of intellectuality and firmness.

As the saying goes, the road is simple, and there is a reason for existence, not to mention anything else, there are so many thunder dramas and divine dramas, if no one really watches them, they can't make money, how did anyone invest in filming?

Therefore, audiences with extremely high aesthetics like Zhao Heng and Luo Ji are always only a few.

"Alright, that's the end of the discussion, why don't we start now?" We'll be done in the morning, and we'll be able to rush to lunch together."

Luo Ji said with a wave of his hand.

Proper discussion is good, but he can also see that this Zhang Li is a proper practical realist, and Zhao Heng is somewhat idealistic, these two will definitely not be able to talk together, if they continue to talk, maybe they will be-for-tat or something, it will be quite unbeautiful.

"Okay."

Ren Gong, who couldn't wait for a long time, stood up and answered.

He is not interested in what to discuss, he is now immersed in this drama, and he secretly swears in his heart that he must act in this drama well and strive to win the best actor award for a TV series or something.

Ren Cong has a strong premonition that this drama will definitely be a milestone in his acting career, and for no reason, he has this kind of confidence!

After a while, the crew started to work, and in a VIP ward that was picked up, Ren Cong and a supporting role playing a patient had already begun to play.

Zhao Heng naturally stood aside, watching Ren Cong's performance with great interest, and I have to say that watching the actors' performances on the spot was really interesting.

"Director Zhao is also so interested in acting?"

Zhang Li stood next to Zhao Heng, also watching Ren Cong's performance, looking at Zhao Heng's interested, she couldn't help but say.

Judging from the conversation between Zhao Heng and Luo Ji just now, Zhang Li can know in a short time that Zhao Heng is the kind of genius who is very idealistic, but it is not only that, you must know that the actual person in charge of a department in Dongfang Hospital is not something that an idealistic genius can do.

This shows that Zhao Heng also has certain experience and methods in terms of communication.

Talented, capable, and means, young and handsome, and with a very good temperament, among such people, there are dragons and phoenixes, young talents, Zhang Li unnaturally wanted to chat with Zhao Heng more.

"Life is like a play, in fact, sometimes, we as doctors also need some emotional control and communication skills."

Zhao Heng said casually.

"Director Zhao disagrees with what I just said?"

Zhang Li smiled and asked directly.

"It's not that I don't agree, like you said, we think it's a divine drama and a thunder drama, maybe it's catering to some audiences, but that's not a reason."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly and said.

Literary and artistic works need to be guided and reviewed, there is no doubt about this, if the audience really wants to see something, the director will shoot something, then what is it?

Regardless of the grand goal of promoting truth, goodness and beauty, let's just say that the "Crazy Boy" series of movies, in that era, influenced how many junior high school and high school students, and since then they have become little yellow hairs in mixed society.

The impact of a series of popular film and television dramas on society may sometimes be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Many classic TV series have been running through the lives of three generations, and they are still enduring.

"The world is like a sea of suffering, and you will fight for it all your life, Director Zhao, as long as you can reach the other side, you are already very remarkable."

Zhang Li smiled slightly, and said something very literary and meaningful.

"Crossing the bitter sea? That's a very apt saying in a place like a hospital, especially for a doctor."

Zhao Heng nodded, he deserved to be an actor born in a professional class, and he had a stereotype before.

You can't think that people are vases just because they are white-skinned, beautiful and long-legged, this is a stereotype.

Our views on a person must be deeply understood, and without understanding and practice, there is no right to speak.

Luo Ji, who was concentrating on watching the real-time shooting picture, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhao Heng and Zhang Li, who were talking happily, and couldn't help but smile when they saw the two talking and laughing.

Youth!
