With the establishment of the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", all departments of the TV drama channel have begun to get busy.

First of all, it is the choice of the director.

As the soul of the crew, regarding the selection of director candidates, Zhao Hongye and other relevant leaders have screened round after round.

After all, this is a copyright that was bought for 200 million!

There must be no flaws!

In the end, a super-first-line director was selected in the China Television system.

This director is one of the few directors of the fifth generation who is good at TV dramas, and he has a pivotal position in the entire Chinese film and television industry.

Although it is said that it is within the China Television system, directors of their level will not actually work within China Television. Because, there are still a lot of rules and regulations of China Television. To be more precise, the director of Chen Jiahui relied on China Television and has an inextricable relationship with Huaxia TV.

After receiving the invitation of Director Zhao Hongye, Director Chen Jiahui, who was far away in Shanghai, directly pushed all the work in hand and flew back to the capital overnight.

"Director Zhao, what you said on the phone is true or false? A copyright cost 200 million? ”

As a super first-line director in the film and television industry, the Chen family has seen too many winds and waves. But to say that he wants to spend 200 million to buy the adaptation rights of a TV series, he is really unheard of.

"Director Chen, how can I be in the mood to joke with you?" Director Zhao said with a wry smile, "The crew has been set up, just waiting for you backbones to settle in." ”

Zhao Hongye is more than ten years younger than the Chen Family Association, but the temperament of a person in high position makes the Chen Family Association dare not underestimate it, Director Chen asked curiously, "Director Zhao, can you reveal who bought this copyright from?" ”

Zhao Hongye is bright, "Director Ye Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

Chen Jiahui was stunned for a moment, and then had a sudden realization, "No wonder, it turned out to be this book." As an insider, he knows all too well how popular this book is. In the past, countless companies went to talk to the Ancient Literature Association, but the end result was not satisfactory. Unexpectedly, the adaptation rights of this book finally fell into the hands of the TV drama channel.

"Director Chen, I've already found the screenwriter, so let's hurry up and prepare to choose actors and build a studio." Director Zhao Hongye instructed: "This drama is an inspection project of the Five One Project, which must not only be fast, but also ensure high quality." It's a tough task, but it has to be taken down. ”

"Director Zhao, don't worry, I understand in my heart." Director Chen nodded, he knew the bends and bends here.

"By the way, Director Ye is the person in charge of the crew, so I have to report to him if you are not sure." Zhao Hongye said again.

And her words can be regarded as directly rectifying Director Chen, "The president, the person in charge?" Director Chen was a little dumbfounded, "What kind of position is this?" "He has been in the industry for so many years, and he really hasn't heard of any crew having the position of general director.

A trace of helplessness also flashed on Zhao Hongye's face, "It's specially set for him." ”

Director Chen also pulled the corners of his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Cooperating with China Television can indeed avoid a lot of trouble. But sometimes, China Television itself is a nuisance.

However, fortunately, Ye Luo seems to be just a name, and he has basically never been here since the establishment of the big crew.

At present, the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the same as other crews, and everything in the group is decided by Chen Jiahui, the chief director.

The construction of the studio, the selection of actors from all walks of life, the employment of supporting personnel of the crew, etc., everything is going on in an orderly manner.

However, on the editorial team's side, there were minor troubles.

"Director Chen, what's wrong?"

The chief screenwriter is called Zhang Wenhua, and he is also a very well-known ace screenwriter in the industry. At the strong request of Director Zhao Hongye, the screenwriting team basically worked overtime and stayed up late to write the entire script. Fortunately, it is an adaptation, and the speed can be faster.

"Mr. Zhang, these scripts you wrote are a bit too long." Director Chen held this thick script in his hand, frowned and said: "This is basically not much different from the plot of the original book, no matter whether it is a big plot or a small plot, it is all taken down?" ”

Originally, Director Chen was ready to let the actors take the script and start the audition. However, when he saw this script, his head was big.

What an adaptation!

The difference between this and the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is that the form is different. People are, he's the script.

Although it is said that you have to respect the original work, there is no such respect law.

However, Editor-in-Chief Zhang also couldn't say, "Director Chen, don't you know who the original author of this book is?" ”

"Director Ye Luo, what's wrong?" Director Chen frowned.

Editor-in-chief Zhang said helplessly, "Yes, you also know that it is Director Ye Luo." What is the status of people in the literary world? Do you dare to make up his books? And ......" he didn't say the next words, just pointed to it.

Ye Luo has a high status in the literary world, and this is only one aspect of it. What constrained the screenwriters the most was actually Ye Luo's status in Huashi.

Script adaptation is originally a job that is easy to offend the original author. Especially in this case, the screenwriting team has to be even more careful.

There is really no way, so I can only pick up all the plots of the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Normal adaptation, what will Director Ye say?" Director Chen was very unhappy, "Don't you just change it indiscriminately?" And, let's not talk about this for now, do you have to redesign this line too? Most of this is ancient Chinese, how can an actor have that line skills. ”

Editor-in-chief Zhang spread his hands again, "I can't help it, that's what Director Ye's original book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wrote. You said that the dialogues of other people's characters are in ancient Chinese, and I changed it to the vernacular without authorization, which is a bit unusual, right? ”

The corners of Director Chen's eyes jumped, "Is it necessary to be so cautious?" ”

Editor-in-chief Zhang was a little emotional, "Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Boat, you haven't had much contact with the cultural world, you don't understand the horror of Teacher Ye." ”

Director Chen frowned, "Forget it, that's it, I'll talk to Director Ye." ”

Editor-in-Chief Zhang didn't say anything, anyway, he would never rashly adapt it drastically. In case Ye Luo is really dissatisfied, even if he is a famous screenwriter, it will be difficult to withstand it.

Director Chen came to the office of the person in charge and took a turn, and saw that Ye Luo was not here. went straight to the music channel, and sure enough, he found Ye Luo on the music channel.

The two of them have been introduced by Director Zhao before, and they have also met, so they are not familiar with each other, but they also know each other.

Director Chen Jiahui talked about the ins and outs of the matter with Ye Luo in detail.

After Ye Luo heard this, he was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the screenwriting team to be so cautious.

After thinking for a while, Ye Luo said: "The plot that should be deleted can indeed be deleted. However, try to restore the original lines as much as possible. One of the purposes of our "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is to promote traditional Chinese culture, and there is no harm in using more classical Chinese. ”

"Director Ye, but the requirements for the actors' lines are too high, let's ......"

Before Director Chen finished speaking, Ye Luo directly frowned and interrupted: "What's so high about this?" Actors eat this bowl of rice, and if they can't say it, they will change it, and there are always capable ones. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Luo seemed to remember, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen these actors yet, Director Chen, how many actors have been selected over there now?" ”

The Chen family was stunned for a moment, feeling uncomfortable, but he still said truthfully, "The main characters have basically been determined." ”

"Okay, I happen to be free today, let's go and have a look." Ye Luo smiled.

Director Chen Jiahui also nodded.

The two came to the crew, because filming had not officially started, and most of the actors were not there. Only a few workers are setting up a sound stage, and some actors are auditioning.

"This is Zhang Fei's actor and this is Guan Yu's actor......"

The few actors present are really the most important characters in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Can you perform two parts?"

Looking at the costumes of the actors, Ye Luo didn't express his opinion, and his emotions couldn't be seen on his face.

Director Chen motioned to Zhang Fei's actor to come to a paragraph.

The actor picked up the Zhangba snake spear next to him and yelled at the air, acting very arrogant and irritable. There were still some big vernacular screams in his mouth, and Ye Luo frowned when he listened to it.

After a few minutes, Ye Luo waved his hand and motioned for him to stop, "Is this Zhang Fei or Li Kui?" ”

Director Chen was stunned, "Who is Li Kui?" ”

Ye Luo's face was expressionless, "A reckless man in the next book." Immediately, he said: "Zhang Fei is a coarse and delicate person, but if you look at his performance in this paragraph, he is a grumpy reckless man." Moreover, what are the lines in this mouth? This is the Three Kingdoms period, how can there be these spoken words now? Another point, the costumes and props on your body are also very inconsistent with the characteristics of that dynasty, and people with a little bit of historical knowledge know that where are the costumes of this period like this? ”

What he said made Director Chen's face blue and red for a while, and he opened his mouth to refute, but Ye Luo didn't give him a chance at all, and directly shook his head and said, "Director Chen, if you want you to be in this state now, I don't think this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will be filmed. ”

"Director Ye, this ......"

Although he was quite unhappy in his heart, hearing Ye Luo say such heavy words, even Director Chen was a little panicked.

Ye Luo waved his hand and said, "Rectify it as soon as possible." As he spoke, he looked at Director Chen, "Although I don't know how to make a TV series, I think that in the selection of actors, at least it must fit the image of the original book." As he spoke, he glanced at these actors, and his tone sank, "It's not just about putting on makeup, but your temperament and conversation have to have the charm of the characters in the book." ”

"There is also the costume props, which must also be kept improving, and you must not be fooled."

Ye Luo said something more, and then shook his head and left.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the first time to come to the crew, and the result is very disappointing for him.

He gave great hope to the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After all, it is his first adaptation, and Ye Luo doesn't want to come up and hit the street. So, he had to be stricter.

As he said, he doesn't know how to shoot a TV series, but he understands "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

As far as Director Chen is looking for these actors now, Ye Luo doesn't have a fancy to any of them.

After Ye Luo returned to the office, he called Director Zhao Hongye directly.

Actors, must be re-selected!

In the face of Ye Luo's categorical attitude, Director Zhao Hongye had no choice but to agree.

As a result, this made Director Chen Jiahui dumbfounded.

"What? Do you have to re-select the actors? ”

"Director Zhao, you're not kidding, are you?"

"I've talked to people about these actors, and now I want to regret the re-election? How do I explain this to others? ”

Chen Jiahui really couldn't help it, he was also one of the best bosses in the industry, Ye Luo did this, the fire in his heart broke out directly, and he complained to Director Zhao Hongye: "Director Zhao, he doesn't understand that Ye Luo at all." Writing a book is writing a book, and making a TV series is making a TV series, how can he be as idealistic as him? The current market in the industry is like this, there are so many ancient texts in the lines, and the charm of the actors is required, I want to laugh, how many actors meet his requirements? We are making a TV series, not a documentary, where do you get so many requirements? ”

"Director Zhao, I'll just say a word, actors, they definitely can't be changed!"

As a super first-line director, Chen Jiahui also has his own pride. He knows the necessity of having a good relationship with Huashi, but in his opinion, neither Ye Luo nor Zhao Hongye can fully represent Huashi!

Zhao Hongye's face was very ugly, "Director Chen, I said it before, Mr. Ye is the head of the crew. ”

"Director Zhao, how can there be a general person in charge of the crew?" As soon as he said this, Chen Jiahui became even more angry, "I have filmed so many dramas, and I have never heard of which group is the person in charge of the group." ”

Which crew is not the director who has the final say?

No matter how bad it is, investors can accept it.

But the question is, the position of the general person in charge of the whole crew, and he is still an outsider, isn't this pure and disgusting?

could have been suppressed, but Director Chen was stunned to vent all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Director Zhao, I still say the same thing, the actor will definitely not be changed." may also realize that his attitude just now was a little excessive, and the Chen family will start to make up for it again, "But those costumes and props that Director Ye said, we can adjust them according to his requirements." However, the actors and lines really can't be helped. ”

"Okay, I see, I'll contact Director Ye." Zhao Hongye's face was expressionless.

"Director Zhao, I'm a straight talker, I really couldn't hold back just now, please forgive me, I will personally apologize to you next time." Director Chen said apologetically.

Zhao Hongye smiled, "It's okay." ”

After Director Chen left, Zhao Hongye's face became completely gloomy.

He didn't call Ye Luo at all, but called the secretary, "You go and inform Chen Jiahui in the afternoon and tell him that he doesn't need to film "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" anymore." ”

"Yes."

The secretary didn't ask a word.

When the Chen family will receive the notice in the afternoon, as an old fritter, he naturally understands what is going on.

He didn't have any expression, packed up his things, and left Huashi without saying a word.

At the same time, the actors he signed also followed him. It's not that they want to follow, but they are fired together.

"Director Chen, what should I do now?"

"Yes, Director Chen, I made several appointments for your play."

"It's a big loss."

"How can China Television do that?"

"The shopkeeper is a bully!"

"What now?"

A group of actors are all coming for the fame of China Television and Director Chen, and now that China Television doesn't want them, they can only hold Director Chen's thighs and not let go.

The Chen family will also be the first two big, and finally gritted his teeth, "It's okay!" Without Butcher Zhang, we would have to eat pigs with hair? There are so many of us, why can't we shoot? I want the guy surnamed Ye to see it! ”
