"Funding, I emphasize again, funding, we can't be too idealistic, now in front of us, the most important thing is the issue of funding."

In the conference room, a middle-aged woman with a slightly cold face knocked on the table while talking, looking at the fierce words, which was daunting.

Whoa......

It was raining heavily outside, and smoke was billowing from the house, and when I was in a meeting, it seemed that I couldn't expand my mind without smoking.

Gu Bei got up and opened the window, but a gust of wind blew, accompanied by raindrops, and the materials placed on the side of the window were wet.

"Shut it up!"

The woman who was talking said something, and Gu Bei immediately closed the window honestly.

This is Cai Xiaoqing, who is also the director of the CCTV TV Drama Production Center, with old qualifications and many honors, and he has won several of them in Feitian and Golden Eagle.

"Of course, I also want to shoot all the Jin Ge Iron Horses of the Three Kingdoms, but where does the money come from? Don't forget, construction is about to start in Wuxi! ”

Cai Xiaoqing said Wuxi, referring to Wuxi Film and Television City, which had begun to be built as early as 87 years, originally there was only one Tang City, and the scale was not very large, it was prepared for the TV series "Tang Minghuang", some time ago, the crew was just pulled over.

Wang Fulin recently made a report to the above, preparing to build another Three Kingdoms city, and planned to put the more representative scenes in the Three Kingdoms story, such as "Liu Bei Recruiting Relatives", "Burning Red Cliffs", "Hengli Fu Poems", "Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows", "Borrowing the East Wind", "Zhuge Hanging Filial Piety", "Tongue Battle Group Confucianism" and other important scenes in the Three Kingdoms story will be filmed over there.

After all, the Three Kingdoms is a big theme, if you just find ready-made attractions to shoot exteriors, firstly, it may not be suitable, and secondly, it lacks a sense of historical weight.

This is all what Wang Fulin said in the report, and the specific meaning of "heaviness" is explained by the old Wang Tou'er alone.

Once the construction of the Three Kingdoms City begins, more than half of the 120 million funds that have gone viral will have to be removed, leaving tens of millions, and it is really not easy to shoot the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Director Cai, don't be impatient!"

Wang Fulin spoke, gave Gu Bei a look, and asked him to open the door. The smoking guns are all together, and he can't stand it anymore.

"Do you have any other opinions on the martial arts opera singing proposed by Director Cai?"

The meetings of the preparatory group were held one after another, and what was required was to express their opinions, but as long as the discussion began, quarrels were indispensable, and Wang Fulin could only choose useful suggestions from these quarrels.

"I think...... It's okay, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a money-burning business, let's not respect a little hand, when the time comes, it will be a bottomless pit. ”

"I also agree, it's not that we don't shoot war scenes, we can shoot a few less, and then bring out the war scenes through narration and character narration, which can save a lot of expenses."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, most of them agreed, and those who were still opposing just now were silent at the moment.

Wang Fulin thought carefully, and he couldn't make up his mind about this issue.

How should the Three Kingdoms be filmed?

What's the focus?

If you have a lot of money, Wang Fulin is of course more willing to shoot Jin Ge Iron Horse, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, like beheading Yan Liang, Zhu Wen Chou, passing five levels, killing six generals, Zhao Yun Changsaka saves the young master, Zhang Fei roars when he is the sun......

Shoot them all.

But Cai Xiaoqing has a saying that says a lot.

What about money?

"Xiao Gu, don't keep talking, it's been a few days, everyone is discussing, you are just responsible for recording, today you have to open your mouth and let everyone listen to your opinions."

Wang Fulin was a little depressed, he did everything possible to pull Gu Bei over, but not to find a clerk for the meeting, he knew that Gu Bei was a smart person.

In "Journey to the West" back then, many ideas were helped by Gu Bei, and even "Dream of Red Mansions", Gu Bei provided a lot of valuable suggestions.

How can you not speak at this time!

Hearing Wang Fulin's words, for a while, everyone's eyes in the conference room were focused on Gu Bei.

This kid is not a safe one!

Hehe!

This is the opinion of most colleagues in Taiwan about Gu Bei, talented, capable, skilled, and most importantly, not superstitious in authority, and a little arrogant.

Xu Aimin's current situation in the center, Gu Bei has a lot of responsibility.

Although most of them are sensible, and they also know that it was Xu Aimin who first incurred the debt and complained about Gu Bei, but after all, they are old colleagues who have known each other for many years, and they still can't help but feel that they have been injured by mistake.

"Okay! Now that Director Wang has spoken, what ...... I'll just tell you about it. ”

It's not modest at all!

Generally speaking, with Gu Bei's qualifications, it is right to talk less and listen more on this occasion, even if Wang Fulin, the chief director, named him, he should be modest.

But Gu Bei is good, since I am allowed to say it, then I will say it.

"Just now Director Cai mentioned martial arts singing, and some comrades proposed how to sing martial arts, through narration, and character dialogues to perform, narration I can understand, who broke out a war with whom and where on a certain day in a certain year and month A.D., briefly describe the process of the war, and then talk about who won, at most two marching shots, the winning is arrogant, and the losing is discouraged!"

Is it so detailed?

Cai Xiaoqing looked at Gu Bei with a straight face, although Gu Bei had not yet expressed his attitude, whether he was for or against, but listening to his tone, he already understood very clearly.

Relying on narration to replace war scenes is unreliable, at least not entirely.

"How do you bring out the character dialogue?"

Gu Bei said, pretending to have a mysterious expression, and said to the colleague beside him.

"Did you hear that? Before the Bishui Pass, Dong Taishi's general Hua Xiong was cut down, and the person who killed him was a bare-faced and long-bearded man, but he was urinated, before the battle, some people poured wine and walked strongly, but no one drank it, and he smoked a bag of cigarettes, and he came back with Hua Xiong's head, and the wine was ...... It's still warm! ”

Burst......

Gu Bei's appearance like a long-tongued woman gossiping made everyone in the conference room laugh, and even Cai Xiaoqing didn't hold back.

cough cough cough ......

Wang Fulin couldn't laugh either, so he finally held back and knocked the table.

"Quiet, quiet, Gu Bei, what kind of foreign appearance, this ...... Meeting! ”

Gu Bei spread his hands and said innocently: "Director Wang, how can this be a joke?" How else to say it? In front of the Bishui Pass, the princes of the Eighteenth Road will fight Dong Zhuo, Zhuo will be brave and invincible, all of them can not win, Guan Yu under the command of Liu Bei, the plain minister, asked for battle, Cao Cao poured wine to be strong, Yu refused, said little, galloped out, turned around in an instant, and the wine was still warm. Is that okay? ”

No one laughed this time, although Gu Bei said it was very funny, but after he stirred it up like this, everyone also understood.

Martial arts singing is not advisable!

"Gu Bei, you mean that you should focus on describing war scenes?"

Cai Xiaoqing asked, her tone didn't seem to be questioning, no matter what she did, she was always right about things and not about people, if what others said made sense, she was naturally willing to listen.

"Of course, we are filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", not "Peacock Flying Southeast", in the Three Kingdoms era, there are many heroes, countless heroes, the two armies are facing each other, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, how can it be a bunch of poor sour and rotten Confucians, martial arts is martial arts, even if you sing well, there is no taste."

"But what about the money?"

The conversation is back to the most critical point.

There are not enough funds, and it is useless to put it nicely.

"Director Cai!"

Gu Bei's expression also became serious.

"It's not a matter of money or not, I have always disagreed with putting money at the core, Taili wants to adapt "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", what is done is to perfectly present the most exciting part of Chinese history, if we can't show the real heroes of the Three Kingdoms, then the meaning of our filming of this drama will not exist."

The state has invested a lot of money, if it finally makes a literary drama, just by talking about it, then what kind of filming is it, directly invite Mr. Yuan Kuocheng out, and then comment on the story.

"Of course, we must also pay attention to the issue of funds, and some less important parts of the whole story can be deleted or brushed aside, such as Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan, Cao Cao and Lu Bu's Puyang War, and Sun Ce's expedition to Jiangdong, these parts are either deleted directly or simplified, and the funds are mainly concentrated on the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and Zhuge Liang's Six Exits of Qishan, focusing on the passages familiar to the people."

Cai Xiaoqing was just about to refute, but when he heard Gu Bei's later words, he also fell into deep thought.

"What do you mean...... Makes sense, too! ”

Wang Fulin didn't speak, his eyes were full of encouragement, and he motioned for Gu Bei to continue.

Gu Bei didn't just bring his ears these days, he also summed up a lot of everyone's opinions, and today he just took this opportunity to say it all.

"What I just said is storytelling, which requires the teachers of the screenwriting team to take a lot of pain, grasp the right tune, how to tell it, what to tell, to tell the essence of the entire Three Kingdoms story, some transitional plots can be abandoned, now I want to say, create characters."

Regarding this, there are meetings these days, and some people have mentioned that casting is the top priority in filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

After previous discussions, Wang Fulin has set a plan for group shooting, he serves as the chief director, looks at the overall situation, and then selects several excellent directors across the country and conducts them in groups, which is conducive to shortening the shooting cycle.

Cai Xiaoqing is the first executive director set by Wang Fulin.

But when the stall is spread out and the groups are carried out at the same time, how can the actors be deployed?

It has been suggested that two or three actors with similar images can be selected for each role, so that there is no delay between each group.

But Gu Bei obviously can't agree, in a story, three Zhang Fei, three Guan Yu, three Zhuge Liang, when the audience is watching, they must not be insane!

"My opinion is that a few core roles should be set, and the actors of these roles must not change, and we must ensure that the audience is watching the coherence of our big play, and the other roles ...... Adjustments can be made according to the age group. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
