The original work of "In the Name of the People" is a well-known author and screenwriter Zhou Mason, who was invited by the Film and Television Center of the Supervision Department to create an anti-corruption theme/script.

Mason Zhou is not well-known in the general public, but he is actually very powerful.

Especially in the field of screenwriting, he has participated in the creation of many officialdom themes, including "The Right Way in the World", "Absolute Power", "National Public Prosecution", "The Ups and Downs of My Lord", "My Hero" and other dramas.

It can be said that in the late 90s and early centuries, a large number of related political dramas were filmed, and Zhou Mason can be called half of the country.

This is also the reason why the related subject matter is loose, and the inspection department is looking for it, and it is indeed a big man in the field.

Later, the script of "In the Name of the People", which was jointly extended, has been in the hands of the department, and it is planned to find a film and television company with enough weight to cooperate, and then Blue Whale will come to the door.

In the current film and television industry, if you talk about making movies, there are still a few companies that can wrestle with the blue whale.

But when it comes to TV series, Blue Whale is a well-deserved first, and it has performed well in terms of the main theme in the past two years, which also made the inspection department reach a cooperation with Blue Whale very smoothly.

After Blue Whale got the filming rights, it put forward rectification requirements for the script.

This situation is very common, and no drama is completely based on the original book, and Blue Whale is also known for optimizing the plot of the original book, such as "East Palace", "Langya Bang", and "Ode to Joy" are all very clear examples.

The overall plot of "In the Name of the People" is actually not much, but more about cutting and changing some unnecessary branches, and then pulling the rhythm.

The original "In the Name of the People" was popular at the time, and in order to accommodate the platform, the plot was a little water-injected, and the yellow hair that was sprayed wildly appeared, which seemed to have a broken and procrastinated rhythm.

Blue whales have their own golden signs and channels, and they don't have much concern about this.

So we have to sort it out, change what should be changed, and discard what should be discarded.

In today's environment, water injection is inevitable, even if the crew doesn't pay attention, the platform has to force you to note.

Because this involves the broadcast cycle, popularity index, advertising revenue, especially hot dramas, the platform can't wait for a drama to be broadcast for a year.

The market is like this, and Blue Whale doesn't dare to say that the dramas in his hands are not filled with water, but the premise of water injection is to ensure quality, which is the most conscientious of many film and television companies.

But "In the Name of the People" is different, he is the main theme.

Previously, some Blue Whale executives speculated that Wei Yang was thankless to engage in a drama with this theme, and there were political considerations.

That's only half true.

Wei Yang is very optimistic about this drama, thinking that its prospects are considerable and he can make a lot of money.

But at the same time, he did have a little bit of caution, opening up the situation with "In the Name of the People" and gilding the blue whale and even PPTV.

The original version of "In the Name of the People" was not favored, and was later taken down by Hunan Province.

If Wei Yang's subordinates are simply one of the producers and platforms of "In the Name of the People" this time, then what kind of comments will the outside world have?

Therefore, compared with money, Boss Wei attaches more importance to the hidden benefits brought by "In the Name of the People".

In this way, the drama has to be filmed better, quality comes first, and shortcomings are reduced as much as possible, such as the rhythm caused by water injection.

In addition, because the screenwriter Zhou Mason is a native of Suzhou Province, the background of "In the Name of the People" is Suzhou Province, but it is renamed Handong and Quancheng.

But others don't know, but Wei Yang knows that it is easy to cause lawsuits in Suzhou Province, so he tried his best to change the background and filming location of the story to Lu Province.

In this way, even if some people feel uncomfortable, their hands will not be stretched so long.

Although Boss Wei's base camp is in the magic capital, he is also a little thin in his hometown.

As for whether the other party can ban this drama on the TV platform, the influence on Wei Yang is not particularly great, it is nothing more than making less money for two or three rounds.

Even from a certain point of view, Wei Yang wished that it would be banned after the premiere, so that PPTV would become an exclusive broadcast platform, collecting all fans and traffic.

…

Wei Yang had limited time, so he started filming the next day, taking into account his schedule, and adopted the strategy of first easy and then difficult.

After filming all the things that are easy to shoot, the final highlight is more polished, the effect is not good, and Boss Wei is embarrassed to go, so there is more time.

This strategy is very chicken thief, but Boss Wei didn't object, in fact, he was also a little weak-minded.

Don't look at his comments on Lu Yi's head, it really makes him and those old actors rush to play, and his heart is also abrupt, so there is a few days of buffer time, so it is good for him to find the feeling of the character from other dramas and make relevant preparations.

The first scene is the hospital, this one is relatively simple, Wei Yang put on makeup, looks weaker and thinner, and then lies down as a background board.

is Lu Yi and his parents interacting with him, talking to each other, and even an assassination plot in the middle, a few scenes, and finally the plot of Boss Wei's long-term illness and soberness, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Even filming with rest, it was successfully done in one day, at least in this scene, Wei Yang's lens is gone.

Wei Fei, who had been following beside him, was amazed and teased: "I've been with you for so many years, this time it's easiest to watch you film, lie down all the time, I can do it." ”

"Pull it down, you'll find out if you try."

Wei Yang waved his hand, don't think that filming such a scene will pull him down as soon as he lies on the bed.

You can play the corpse of a devil in Hengdian like this, and there is no audience watching you, but filming a TV series seriously, especially with close-ups and medium and close-up scenes, which is a requirement for actors.

Lying on the bed, you can't make the slightest movement, you have to control your breathing, and you can't even pick your eyelids.

Not to mention, there are also actors who interact, such as wiping their bodies and shaking hands to talk, as well as playing against each other in front of patients, if Wei Yang's body is required to be in the camera, in order not to wear a gang, Wei Yang has to endure it all the time.

It's just a short time, but after a long time, it's actually quite uncomfortable.

At least for Boss Wei, he is very uncomfortable, he would rather shoot a fight scene and be beaten violently than shoot such a "bed scene", feeling unhappy.

In the next few days, Wei Yang scattered and finished filming some of Chen Hai's broken scenes.

The main thing is to talk about the case with Hou Liangping, as well as some daily life and memory fragments.

After all, Chen Hai doesn't have many scenes, and he went to the hospital to lie down in the fifth episode because of a car accident, and even in the first five episodes, he didn't have the most scenes.

After the filming of the simple scene, the rest is the main event, and it is also the first episode of the play, Chen Hai received Hou Liangping's notice and prepared to arrest the corrupt official Ding Yizhen, and then because of the formalities, he watched several bigwigs talk about it.

"In the Name of the People" grabbed the audience's attention when it came up, and the excitement of the first few episodes was crucial.

There are two most exciting plots, one of which is Hou Yong, a petty official who makes a cameo appearance and is greedy for a penny and doesn't dare to spend a penny.

Second, there are several bigwigs who hold a meeting on whether to arrest people or not, and the participants are extremely high-level, and they are at loggerheads, swords, and shadows, and there are many metaphors, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

Wei Yang also followed the drama in his last life, remembering that everyone hadn't discovered it in the early days, and there were also reasons why the filmmaker intended to hide it, so everyone guessed who was good and who was bad according to the plot.

For a while, Gao is a bad guy, Li is a bad guy, Qi and Ji are bad guys, and Sha is the final big boss.

The reason why it is so chaotic is mainly because Gao and Qi are good, and Li is too aggressive in the early stage, and Ji is an old fox, so a big scene, the audience is happy and confused.

often has to wait for two or three brushes to get a lot of details and keys from the first episode.

Wu Gang, Zhang Zhijian, Li Jianyi, and Xu Yajun are all well-known veteran actors, Wei Yang is still a little pressured, but he is not afraid.

Boss Wei has not been a fool over the years, and except for Xu Yajun, he has played with several other actors and has some experience in cooperation.

Moreover, the role of Chen Hai can be said to be the simplest in this scene.

Showing decency and interpreting eagerness and dissatisfaction, this character is in place.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Wei Yang to play Chen Hai well, the pressure mainly comes from how to play with a few others, catch it steadily, and not be pressed.

Wei Yang, who was already ready, couldn't help but smile bitterly when the filming really started.

Li Jianyi said that the role he played was an old fox, like a spring breeze, steady and kind.

Qi Tongwei is now in the stage of pretending to be a good person, and he has not yet reached the moment when the role is exerted, so it is easy to parry.

The difficulty is Zhang Zhijian and Wu Gang, the roles of the two people, one is the spring thunder and rain, lifting weights like light, and the other is the black cloud pressing the village, clumsy and pressing, neither of them is good.

Especially the main actor Zhang Zhijian, Xiao Erlang's legs are cocked, his face is calm, kind and majestic, and his eyes are asking and listening quietly, Wei Yang really thought that a leader had come over.

Tsk, this guy definitely studied!

"This matter is not a trivial matter, especially the sand ...... Just came, we can't give him such a meeting gift, Lao Ji, what do you say......"

"No matter how big the impact of Ding Yizhen's case is, we should not be with... Fight for the right to handle cases in order to avoid our passive ...... in the future"

"Comrade Changping, I don't agree with you......"

"Old Ji, I think Dakang... Very well thought out......"

A few bigwigs came and went, arguing endlessly, Wei Yang was thoughtful, originally just waiting to see the changes, but he didn't expect that the more time passed, the longer it dragged on.

As time passed, he couldn't help but look down at his watch repeatedly, a little impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still held back his emotions and continued to listen.

In the play, Chen Hai is not stunned, and it is clear from the narration that he is aware of the complexity of things.

But knowing that he knew that the urgency of his personality and time made him have no time to pay attention to this, and he was bent on getting permission as soon as possible and arresting people as soon as possible, just in case something unexpected happened.

Seeing whether to arrest or detain, whether to hand over to the capital or the province for internal handling, several bigwigs had disagreements, and he finally couldn't help but get up and speak.

"Leaders, let's detain people first, and control people first."

"Sit down, what's the hurry?"

Zhang Zhijian opened his mouth slowly, scolded Wei Yang back, and then began to ruffle again.

When Wei Yang watched this scene for the first time, he vaguely noticed that something was wrong, but the amount of information was small, and he watched the whole drama later, and he had a lot of experience.

There were five people present, five ideas, united vertically and horizontally, each with their own careful thoughts.

Chen Hai is the most innocent, hurry up and arrest people.

Ji Changming stopped Chen Hai in front of him and triggered this meeting, he seemed to be a villain, but in fact, he acted safely, and he was still on Chen Hai's side in and out of his words.

Li Dakang's purpose is very simple, Ding Yizhen is his person, and it is likely to affect him and even the projects he is promoting, so he hopes to intervene to gain more initiative and bring the situation down.

Qi Tongwei is the most hidden, standing on Li Dakang's side, ostensibly trying to sell Li Dakang well, but in fact, he is fighting with Ji Changming and Chen Hai, delaying time, and looking for an opportunity to report the news.

Gao Yuliang is the most complicated, he wants to use this to tease and stimulate Li Dakang, and at the same time test Sha Ruijin, who seems to be out of the world, but controls the overall situation, which is also the eye of this scene.

Most of the time, Wei Yang, who is out of observation, further observes several actors in this scene.

The more I watched, the more I felt that Zhang Zhijian's performance was sophisticated, and his posture, rhythm, and small movements were just right.

"Sand... Say, let's decide. ”

Wei Yang urged: "Then you hurry up and decide." ”

Zhang Zhijian looked at him disapprovingly: "Look, it's anxious." ”

That little energy, it was so in place, even Li Jianyi next to him was a little nervous, Wei Yang took the role, he was speechless and uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to give him a punch.

It's been a night of grinding on a big fart, you say Lao Tzu is in a hurry!

After the filming was over, Wei Yang chatted with Zhang Zhijian alone and asked him how he found this emotion so well.

"If you think about it carefully, I don't know if it's like it."

Zhang Zhijian also smiled wryly when he talked about this, he had never seen such a big official, he had to watch TV, and then rely on his own little brain to make up for it.

"Something like that."

He hasn't seen it, Wei Yang has seen it, and even chatted and eaten together, many details of Zhang Zhijian are really similar.

On the contrary, it is Sha Ruijin, I can't say that I don't like it, but it's a bit superficial, as for Li Dakang, it is an atypical image, which is not very common.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Yang simply gave Zhang Zhijian, Wu Gang and others vague information to chat about the non-exclusive characteristics and details of some of the bigwigs he had seen, and saw if he could add some inspiration to a few people.

Several actors are like treasures, although they are old actors, their status is really not high, even if they have received some interviews, but Wei Yang's "dry goods" are not accessible.

Of course, after all, Wei Yang also asked a few people to keep it secret, and when others asked, they said that they had figured it out, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

When this scene is over, Wei Yang's role in "In the Name of the People" will be completely completed.

Before the finishing flowers sent by the staff were hot, several reporters blocked the door and interviewed Wei Yang.

Just kidding, Wei Yang is the explosive point of the propaganda of "In the Name of the People", so he naturally has to work harder.

In addition to reporters, in the past few days, the crew specially transferred a photographer to record Wei Yang's tidbits and behind-the-scenes, and waited for the TV series to be broadcast for publicity.

This kind of routine interview has a routine, basically blowing a drama, praising the actors, talking about the characters, nothing new.

However, remembering his previous thoughts, Wei Yang played a prank, and in the face of a reporter's question, he broke out the "earth-shattering news".

"What's different about this filming compared to the past?"

"There are too few scenes, some are not enjoyable, and there are too many bed scenes, accounting for almost 90%, which is more tiring to act."

Reporter: "......???!!! ”
