Chapter 123: "Signal" is on

""Winter Love Song" premiered in Zhongdong area, creating a new history of Chinese dramas."

"'Winter Sonata' sold thousands of miles away, and it turned out that we could be very good."

"All film and television drama producers should learn from Fenghua Film and Television Company."

"Lee Shengyao made history, he broke new paths for others."

"It's too strong, "Winter Love Song" made Zhao Yang popular in Asia."

"Yan Danchen is earning millions every day, and she has won heavyweight endorsements."

"The desert thousands of miles away is playing Chinese dramas, and Chinese dramas are the first in Asia."

With the news of the purchase of "Winter Love Song" and "Love Hotel" by the oil powers, the entire Chinese entertainment industry was shocked.

There has never been a TV series that can break down cultural barriers and be able to sell that piece.

In the past, when Hong Kong Island movies were at their most glorious, that is, Brother Cheng Long, Bruce Lee, and Li Lianjie relied on kung fu to open up that market.

And now Lee Shengyao has done it with just two idol dramas.

This has opened the eyes of many people, and many people have realized that in fact, China Entertainment is not so bad, and entertainment in many places is even worse, but you need to take the initiative to go out, of course, the work must be good enough.

And Li Shengyao, as the first person to rely on TV dramas to eat crabs, has naturally been praised by many media.

Even his parents knew that they had made a very powerful TV series this time.

The Yenching Drama Academy once again wanted to commend Li Shengyao and give him a certificate of merit.

However, Li Shengyao didn't go this time, and let Chen Hao take it on his behalf, and he had already gone south to Shanghai to prepare for the opening ceremony of "Signal".

……

At 9 o'clock in the morning of November 1, 2001, in SJ District, Shanghai, the crew of "Signal" filmed the set.

With the sound of firecrackers, "Signal" was officially launched.

In addition to a group of actors and field workers, there are also three retired veteran police officers, and a retired veteran forensic doctor.

They are all acting as plot consultants, here to help Lee Shengyao correct some common-sense mistakes.

For example, the dress, tools, architectural style, and discourse habits of the 80s.

"'Signal' is on."

The assistant director shouted.

Li Shengyao then gave red envelopes to everyone, in addition to the actors and actresses, there were also reporters outside, as well as people from Gusu Satellite TV and Hucheng Satellite TV.

This time, the total budget for the signal was 5 million, and Gusu Satellite TV and Hucheng Satellite TV still invested 1 million each, and Li Shengyao gave them 15 percent of the domestic broadcast rights in accordance with the old practice.

After handing out the red envelopes, Li Shengyao asked several retired old consultants to bring stools and hot fans, and then asked everyone to prepare, and the filming will start in 20 minutes.

"Signal" is a double male protagonist, a young policeman and an old policeman.

Single heroine, the heroine is seven or eight years younger than the old policeman in the plot setting, and about ten years older than the later young policeman.

Spanning fifteen years, young and veteran officers have been connected intermittently by relying on an old-fashioned walkie-talkie.

The first case in this play is the kidnapping and murder of a girl.

Part of it is the plot of the young police recalling when he was a child, and a group of young actors are needed here, and these people are more difficult to do.

Priority was given to filming this part of the scene.

At this time, the crew was set up on the playground of an elementary school in Songjiang, which was relatively old, established 20 years ago, and could just be used as a filming location.

However, the walls of the elementary school were later painted and looked much whiter.

In order to recreate the feeling of the 80s, Lee discussed with the school to find a wall close to the shooting, and they needed to paint some yellow, and when the shooting was over, they would paint it white.

Of course, they will also give the school some compensation, and the school readily agreed.

At this time, the wall on this side of the shooting looks yellow, as if it has been built for more than ten years and has experienced wind and rain.

The young actors are all eleven or twelve years old, and they all change into clothes from the 80s.

At that time, there was no uniform in the mainland, and most of everyone's clothes were gray or black.

The little girl who was killed is very cute and kind in the plot.

When the young policeman was a child, that is, he had just transferred to another school, had no friends, and was playing alone in the playground, when the little girl went over and wanted to play with him, but the little boy refused.

Then it rained one day, and the students left.

The little girl did not bring an umbrella and stood alone under the eaves.

The little boy brought an umbrella and wanted to give it away, but he found that his umbrella was broken, so he was embarrassed to take it back, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he quickly ran away.

Didn't bother with the little girl.

As he was leaving the school, he noticed a woman wearing a small high heel, holding a red umbrella, leading the little girl away.

The next day, the news of the kidnapping and death of the little girl came out, and the little boy was struck by lightning, and the whole person was stupid.

The Korean drama is set in the year 2,000, and the woman who kidnapped the little girl wears a stiletto heel.

Li Shengyao naturally had to change here, in the 80s, very few women in the mainland would wear stiletto heels, so he changed to small heels.

On the whole, the plot here is actually very simple, it depends on the play of the young actors.

Li Shengyao and the other field workers finished arranging, and then stood up and carefully checked to see if there was anything wrong, and the four plot consultants also stood up and checked carefully.

Once you're sure there are no issues, this is the beginning.

The two important young actors have long memorized their lines, and they are still happy to film at this time when their curiosity is strong, and they are very well prepared, but after all, it is the first time to act, and they don't know how to face the camera.

There was originally a shot of the little girl smiling at the boy, and the actor smiled in the other direction.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao clapped his hands, then praised the two young actors, and then told them how to shoot, and after repeated teaching, he started again.

The second time, the two young actors obviously completed a lot more, but it has not yet reached the level that Li Shengyao is satisfied with.

"Very good, let's shoot a few more times."

While directing the shooting, he would also ask several plot consultants if there were any mistakes.

Yan Bingyan didn't play this morning, it was very cold in Shanghai at this time, but she didn't leave the set, she wanted to see Li Shengyao's filming style.

At this time, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Li Shengyao patiently guiding the two young actors and being very polite to the four plot consultants.

She asked Guo Xiaodong and Zhang Zhijian before and asked them if Li Shengyao was strict in filming.

The answers I got were that I didn't scold people in general, but they were very demanding.

She didn't understand what it meant at first, but now she did.

Li Shengyao may not be able to scold, but the filming requirements are high, and if the acting is not good, then it will have to be reshot over and over again.

Yan Bingyan is not worried about this, she is still confident in her acting skills.

And this should be one of the reasons for the high quality of Li Shengyao's dramas.

At this time, her heart was even more excited, and she felt that she was filming a good drama.

She wasn't sure what about the "Extraordinary Case" that was dismissed, but she felt that it should be inferior to "Signal".
