Lu Province, Quancheng

Wei Yang stepped out of his business car, and the producer of "In the Name of the People" and the heads of relevant units who were waiting here in advance greeted him.

"Boss."

"Mr. Wei."

"Lao Liu, it's hard work."

Wei Yang walked two steps quickly, shook hands separately, and chatted with the person in charge of the relevant unit: "Director Wang, Liu, you are in trouble, I heard that you have helped us solve a lot." ”

"Yes, it's all for the sake of the show."

Because this time the Blue Whale is directly in charge of the project, and the production is fully responsible, there is no need to introduce other teams to work directly against the film and television center of the inspection department and the propaganda port here in Lu Province.

To put it simply, the Blue Whale is in charge of filming and publicity, and these two units are responsible for endorsement and town field.

It has not yet been determined which station will be broadcast, and the relevant radio and television stations can also be pulled in and listed in the future.

This has also led to some minor personnel changes, such as the original corrupt official Liu Xinjian and worker Wang Wenmou, who are respectively the producer/producer and producer.

Now that the producers of the crew have changed, it is naturally impossible for the actors to get those two, and they have their own jobs.

So the actor was changed, Liu Xinjian was played by Sha Yi, this kind of funny role with strong lust and inwardness, in his comfort zone.

And the role of that worker is Tao Zeru, an old actor with a tough and simple face, who has the demeanor of an older generation of workers and strong business ability, and he has a good grasp of this role.

The original version may not be a professional actor, and the character creation is a bit one-sided, and the performance came with the resistance and radicalization of the workers, and the evil was evil, but he ignored the bitterness and tears of being bullied, which caused many viewers to feel that this character was a villain for a while.

To put it mildly, we can't just say that there are bad people among the masses, but we don't say why the masses have become bad people.

Therefore, a large number of scenes in the original yellow hair were deleted, and some of them were moved to this old worker.

From the perspective of him and his family, it extends to the days of ordinary people affected by the storm in the Gale Factory, and how a conscientious old worker was cornered.

For a theme like this, how to make the audience recognize the justice of decency is a difficult problem, and it is not something that can be solved by just shouting two slogans.

And if vivid cases are added to intuitively make the people feel the harm caused by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, then the anti-corruption behavior of the protagonist and others will also receive some support.

The original version was actually filmed like this, but the direction was wrong.

Just wandering around Zheng Xipo and Huang Mao's house, an old scholar who is a factory leader who can only find Chen Yanyan, and a gangster who doesn't care about fishing in troubled waters to take advantage, how do you let the audience in.

The degree is compared with the two of them, how can there be a hard bone advantage.........

Therefore, the role of the old worker's family was added to the play, and the proportion was not small, and many employees of the Dafeng Factory indirectly appeared.

"In the Name of the People", how can there be no sense of existence of the people, and it is no wonder that some viewers criticized it later,

Of course, it's not easy to say whether there is a risk in such a shot, the scale must be grasped well, and the chips are constantly bet.

Hu Jing who plays Gao Xiaoqin, Ke Lan who plays Lu Yi, and Zhu Zhu who plays Zhong Xiaoai.

and the priest who plays Secretary Bai, along with Boss Wei who makes a guest appearance as Chen Hai.

That's right, Boss Wei didn't come to visit the crew of "In the Name of the People" this time, but came to make a cameo appearance, and the role was Chen Hai.

Whether it was Hou Liangping or Qi Tongwei, Wei Yang thought about it later, and he was not suitable for acting, so he pushed it.

But he is still quite interested in this drama, and at the same time, Boss Wei's current status is not the same, he has a lot of titles and halos, and his participation in this drama can also play a role in promoting the review to a certain extent, and the effect is even better than several others.

At the same time, Boss Wei participated, and he appeared in the first episode, which also had great benefits for the promotion of the show.

is different from Boss Wei himself who is very optimistic about "In the Name of the People", Blue Whale and the main creators of the crew are not very optimistic about this main theme theme.

And because some of the plots are too sensitive and the level involved is too high, it's hard to say whether they can pass the trial.

Therefore, in the blue whale, which has always been crazy in the market, this time it is rare to say that this project is likely not to make money, or even lose money, and some executives simply think that Boss Wei made this drama out of political considerations.

Wei Yang's cameo appearance, to a certain extent, is also to express the importance of the show and give publicity support.

Count them all in one fell swoop!

Boss Wei said hello to the crew early and wanted to leave him a role.

The crew and director recommended the role of Zhao Gongzi to him, which can be called the top villain of modern dramas, but Wei Yang felt that there were too many scenes, and he might not have time.

So picking and choosing, Wei Yang took a fancy to the role of Chen Hai, there was a bit of a scene in the first few episodes, and then he lay down in dozens of episodes in a car accident, and finally showed a few faces.

There are few scenes, but because he is the main character, he has a high sense of presence and gimmicks, and he turned around to advertise that Boss Wei had a lot of bed scenes, and he deceived a large number of audiences.

It was just perfect!

It's just that the pastor is suffering, he was originally going to play this Chen Hai, but Wei Yang cut off his beard, and he could only change to play Secretary Bai.

But he doesn't lose anything, this role is inconspicuous now, and the discussion is high, and he is PK with heroes from all walks of life on Douyin every day.........

…

Wei Yang arranged the accommodation conditions under the leadership of the producer, he did not have many scenes, and the filming time is expected to be 7~10 days.

You must know that although Chen Hai does not appear much, there are several major scenes, and he has always played against important characters, so he has to coordinate and announce, and normal filming cannot be so fast.

But who made Boss Wei's status different, he was his own crew, and he came to help make a cameo, not a supporting role with the group, so it must not be him accommodating the crew, but the crew cooperating with him.

That estimated time is a lot, basically if there are no accidents, within a week, Boss Wei can almost finish and leave.

"Are you satisfied with the place, if there's anything wrong, I'll change it for you."

The room where Wei Yang lives is a presidential suite, which is better than most of the actors in the crew, but it is not excessive.

Under normal circumstances, big-name actors like this who are invited to make short-term cameos will stay for a few days in total, and the conditions for accommodation provided by the crew will not be shabby.

And you must know that Boss Wei's cameo this time only symbolically took a little money for the carriage and horses, and with his value, the crew of "In the Name of the People" made a lot of money.

Of course, this crew is almost wholly invested by Boss Wei, and the money saved is actually Boss Wei's own.

Therefore, this accommodation fee is actually Boss Wei's money, not to mention the presidential suite, even if a building is built, others can't pick it up.

Wei Yang glanced at it and nodded: "It's good." ”

"Then you take a rest first, and when the evening is over, I will take you to meet the director and a few actors."

The heads of the two units have already left, and the remaining producers are Blue Whale's people, and it is more restrained to face Wei Yang, the big boss, alone.

Fortunately, as long as Boss Wei has no problems with you, he is still very easy to get along with in private, and casually asked a few words about the progress of the crew, and simply slapped him.

"I slept all the way when I came, I'm not sleepy, just go and see the scenery, you help me call them at night, I'll have a meal."

Wei Yang is not an ordinary guest artist, he is also the boss of the crew, not only not a guest, but the biggest host.

Therefore, not only does Boss Wei not have much money to make a cameo, but he also has to invite guests, first, he has to show up to meet the crew, and secondly, it can be regarded as a reward for everyone's hard filming.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

About half an hour later, two cars came to the gate of a school, and the producer introduced them.

You can't go to the government department for filming, and no matter how awesome your crew is, you can't delay other people's work, so you have to find a place by yourself.

And those who can borrow and shoot like government departments, naturally most of them are schools, so the exterior scenes of "In the Name of the People" are basically based on schools, and some of the interior scenes are shot at the school if they are suitable, and the interior scenes are set up separately if they are not suitable.

Wei Yang: They are now in a sports college, there are fewer students, there are more places to be freed up, and they are willing to cooperate with the crew, so the scenes of the inspection department and the anti-corruption bureau are basically filmed here.

As the head of anti-corruption before the male protagonist Hou Liangping, Chen Hai filmed most of his scenes here, and the other main event location was the hospital, which was set up in the studio.

Boss Wei has also filmed a lot of scenes in Boss Wei's hospital, and he is more curious about this kind of single-location scene, so he is the first to come here.

What Wei Yang didn't expect was that when they arrived, the crew also had a film crew filming here.

Because "In the Name of the People" is a group drama, there are many characters and narrative perspectives, so it is too slow to shoot one by one.

The chief director, Li Lu, is also the director of the original "In the Name of the People", who is in charge of the overall situation + the main film crew, and there are two other film crews to shoot non-important scenes and roles.

Like the scene filmed in the Anti-Corruption Bureau now, Ji Changming and Lu Yike and their two subordinates are teasing.

Wei Yang appeared and frightened several actors, because Wei Yang's cameo was not completely knocked to death before, and in order to prevent accidents, the crew did not announce it, so only some people knew about it.

Obviously, among these actors and group performers, except for chatting with a few people, they are all uninformed.

Teacher Li Jianyi, the actor of Ji Changming, once thought that Wei Yang was here to visit the class.

"Teacher Jianyi, long time no see."

Wei Yang greeted Li Jianyi familiarly, and the latter did not change people, it was the very popular father-in-law Cao in "No. 1 in the World".

The two have worked together in "Celebrating More Than Years", and the latter plays the role of Hou Gonggong next to Emperor Qing in the play, and they are quite happy to talk about this reunion.

However, except for Li Jianyi, the others are not familiar, Ke Lan is the first time he has seen him, and the other two young actors Wei Yang have no impression, the woman looks familiar, and only remembered after asking the name.

Isn't this Cao Jin's wife?!

Later, it seems that he was divorced, I don't know if he is married now, if he remembers correctly, the little black fat man is about to tear up Cao Jin because of the family tree.

It's a pity that I'm afraid that people will misunderstand, otherwise I really want a WeChat, turn around and inquire on the side, and eat melons in the first row.

Wei Yang didn't bother shooting, looked around and left, and invited guests to dinner at a hotel in Quancheng in the evening.

Since it is a multi-group shooting, most of the actors have already joined the group, and they are still quite even, and many of them are acquaintances of Boss Wei, and even cooperated.

For example, Wu Gang, the current coffee position of the Five Tigers of Renyi is not as good as in the previous life, and the hot hand after the "Celebrating More Than Years" trilogy is one of the hottest old drama bones now.

"In the Name of the People" can invite him, or Boss Wei's efforts.

starred in Gao Yuliang Zhang Zhijian's career is also much more brilliant than in his previous life, and he has starred in "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Langya Bang".

Zhao Liying's "Ming Palace Raiders" broadcast not long ago, she played the old Yan Shifan of Xiaoge after many years, which is an early villain.

At that time, Wei Yang still wanted to find Chen Baoguo to play Jiajing, but unfortunately the other party did not have a schedule, which was a small pity.

However, in addition to Yan Shifan, "Ming Palace Raiders" still found several actors from "Ming Dynasty 1566", such as Feng Bao, who was played by the same person, Wang Qingxiang, who played Hu Zhongxian, played Gao Gong this time.

The important role of Zhang Juzheng is played by Wang Jinsong, who is also Yang Jinshui of "Ming Dynasty 1566".

The enhanced version of Wu Gang and Zhang Zhijian, plus the originally famous Zhang Fengyi, as well as a large group of old drama supporting actors and stars, even if Wei Yang does not come, the lineup of "In the Name of the People" is quite luxurious.

"Mr. Wei, I'll take you a cup."

Halfway through eating, he played two laps and began to toast freely, and the male protagonist Lu Yi came over with a wine glass to toast.

Wei Yang got up and touched him, and encouraged him twice: "Senior brother, this drama is all seniors, and the pressure is not small, you have to hold on." ”

Lu Yi nodded solemnly: "I understand." ”

This version of "In the Name of the People" uses the original criticized Lu Yi, and Wei Yang is also hesitant.

He knew that Lu Yi's strength was not enough, and he was abused enough by a few old actors, but then again, there are a few actors of this age who can withstand these old actors.

Even if you can withstand it, you don't have a certain reputation, and you can't be the male lead.

After all, Wei Yang still has to consider selling dramas, so he doesn't memorize the theme he is optimistic about, and he doesn't buy it with a platform of artists who are not well-known.

Even if Wei Yang would rather make a little less, there are many rights and wrongs in the entertainment industry, and there are many artists and actors in the crew of "In the Name of the People", and he doesn't have enough fame and status in the industry, so he can't really control the scene.

So Wei Yang pulled around, either it was not suitable, or people didn't have a schedule.

is Lu Yi, in Wei Yang's opinion, he is an actor with very average indices, no special advantages, but the disadvantages are not obvious, and the lower limit is also high, he belongs to the kind of alternative that can be used when there is no suitable person.

It may not be brilliant, but it is not bad.

The original version looks frivolous, and there is also a pot of part of the script, Hou Liangping of the original book is a very sassy character, and Lu Yi will inevitably have a reference when acting.

In addition, the old drama bones acted so well that Lu Yi's performance was quite qualified, and he couldn't do it.

is like Wen Zhang of "The Young Marshal", looking at his own role, in fact, his acting is not bad, but compared with Li Xuejian, the gap is suddenly highlighted.

There is another reason that cannot be left unmentioned, that is, Lu Yi is a person from the Shanghai circle, and he is also Boss Wei's drama brother.

Therefore, on the premise that there are no other suitable candidates, Wei Yang is still willing to give this senior brother a chance.

Before setting the role, he also made a special call with Lu Yi to chat, which was to discuss how to play the role of Hou Liangping, and reminded him of the thunder point of frivolity.

Since this character trait is not easy to grasp, simply don't want it, the monkey is not necessarily frivolous and jumpy, but also shrewd and bold.

If this characteristic is subtracted, let Lu Yi play a relatively stereotypical positive character, I think it will be much better than Hou Liangping in his previous life.........
