In winter, Shanghai is as cold as Jinling, and sometimes it snows here.

It was a nice night tonight, and although there was no moon, there were a few bright stars hanging in the sky, as if they were hanging on the roof of a building, and they could be touched by reaching out.

In the lobby of the editing building of Shanghai Film Studio, Li Shengyao took his thermos cup and slowly walked out of the editing room.

He took a glass of water, then found a chair and sat down.

Through the glass window, he could see the night sky opposite.

Reaching out to touch the stars, he had some anticipation in his heart, and even wanted to try it on the tall building opposite.

After the finale of "Dashang Palace" in Hengdian, just after the finale banquet, he rushed to Shanghai with his people non-stop, and then asked the editors of Shanghai Film Studio to work.

The plot of "Dashang Palace" is relatively long, with a total of 70 episodes, and Li Shengyao's pursuit of quality, this time the editing speed is probably the same as "Signal", which is much slower than "Love Hotel".

Lee estimated that it would take half a month to complete the editing.

It's been ten days now.

Today's work has just ended, and Li Shengyao also feels a little tired, so he plans to sit and rest for a while to recuperate.

Chen Hao is also in Shanghai at this time, "Pink Girl" has been completed, and she is going to dub it after it is finished.

When two people reunite after a long absence, it is natural to have a deep exchange.

However, Chen Hao danced and practiced yoga during the day, while Li Shengyao guided the editing in the editing room, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.

So much so that I couldn't cope with it at night.

He planned to sit for a while, then find a restaurant, order two catties of mutton and seafood, recover his physical strength, and then come to the battle.

In short, Chen Hao can't be underestimated.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded, and I saw a man walking out with his waist on his back, this person was tall and thin, wearing a hat, and the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy, he was Zhu Yi, the director of "Pink Girl".

"Pink Girl" was completed half a month earlier than "Dashang Palace".

Zhu Yi also worked very hard and wanted to finish the post-production as soon as possible, so he went to the editing room every day to provide his opinions and requirements to the editors.

At this point, he looked haggard.

If you don't understand the hardships of editing, you might think that Zhu Yi came out of a chicken nest.

But Lee understands how much it can be to stay in a small room all day.

He understood Zhu Yi's state at this time, and smiled, "Director Zhu, it's hard work." ”

Zhu Yi kept his head down, heard the words for a moment, and then hurriedly raised his head, bent down and waved his hand, "Director Li, I'm sorry just now, I was distracted, I didn't see you." ”

"It's okay, I'm not a big Yao, and I'm as conspicuous as a pillar everywhere I go."

Zhu Yi lives in Shanghai all the year round, and often goes to watch Da Yao play, laughs when he hears this, and then bends over and sits down next to Li Shengyao.

"Director Li, this editing work is really tiring, sometimes I really don't want to care, and leave it to the editors to play freely."

Relatively speaking, in the production process of a drama, the working environment of editing is the smallest, the most dull, and indeed more tiring.

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "One pay, one gain." ”

Zhu Yi then asked, "How many days will Director Li have to complete?" ”

"Five days."

Now the progress of the editing is about the same as Lee Shengyao's estimate, if there are no accidents, half a month is just right.

Zhu Yi's eyes widened, and then he slowly stretched out a thumbs up.

He had long heard that Li Shengyao had a draft in his heart, and the editing was very fast, and the previous TV series was even edited in three or five days.

He didn't believe it at first, Li Shengyao is currently filming five dramas, and four dramas have been broadcast, all of which are very smooth, natural, and without any jerky frustration at all.

At first glance, it was edited out after a long period of thought.

But now there are 70 episodes of "Dashang Palace", and it is still edited in half a month, I have to admire, people have this ability.

Forty episodes of "Pink Girl", he hurried and hurried, and it would take about a month.

"Director Li, amazing."

Zhu Yi paused, and then couldn't help asking: "Director Li, can "Dashang Palace" really be sold overseas?" ”

Costume dramas have strong cultural barriers, and it is difficult to see if you don't understand the history and culture of another Guo Jia.

Just like the ordinary people in the mainland, nine out of ten people are not interested in the island country's big river drama.

Unless it's the H version of the big river drama, who will watch it?

Zhu Yi watched Li Shengyao's interview, and Li Shengyao said that he hoped that through "Dashang Palace", overseas audiences could better understand Chinese history, so "Dashang Palace" would naturally be sold.

So the question is, can costume dramas really go out?

The island, the peninsula, and Annam are okay, and the common people know some Chinese history.

Do you say that the people of the Philippines, India, or the oil countries, can they really see the people in these places?

Many people are discussing the interview with Li Shengyao.

Many people think that Li Shengyao is going to capsize in the gutter this time, and they don't think that a story from the Ming Dynasty can attract overseas audiences.

Of course, now that Li Shengyao's reputation has risen, there are also some die-hard fans, who feel that Li Shengyao can go out no matter what drama he makes.

Zhu Yi was still very curious and wanted to hear Li Shengyao's true thoughts.

Li Shengyao smiled, "I have made some attempts in "Dashang Palace", mainly to put the story line and the camera on the heroine, and most of the story background is in the palace, there are not many stories outside, and there are not many characters. ”

"As long as your IQ is normal, even if you don't understand this history, you can still understand this drama."

"Of course, this is just my opinion, whether it will work in the end or not, I will not know until later."

When Zhu Yi heard this, he gave a thumbs up again.

He wasn't sure if "Da Shang Palace" would work in the end, but he felt that Lee Shengyao's attempt was very good.

"Director Li, the filming time of "Dashang Palace" is so long, it must be very exquisite, right?"

"Okay, I'll try to do my best, what about you, how does Pink Girl feel?"

"The actors are all very good, but I always feel that the urban dramas I shoot are not as good as the pictures of your urban dramas."

The two of them chatted like this, and after chatting for half an hour, they dispersed.

Three hours later, Li Shengyao was lying on the big bed in the presidential suite of the Jin Jiang Hotel, and next to him lay a woman, it was Chen Hao.

After dispersing with Zhu Yi, he found a restaurant, ordered a few kidney-replenishing dishes, and had a good meal, and then returned to the hotel.

Chen Hao was lying down at this time to reminisce.

He got up and put on a pajama, opened the curtains, and stood in front of the glass window to enjoy the bustling night scene of Shanghai up close.

Although he was very modest when he communicated with Zhu Yi before, he was still looking forward to it in his heart.

The production of "Dashang Palace" is indeed very good, the budget of 20 million is enough to spend 18 million, and the actors are actually not expensive, mainly because Li Shengyao strives for perfection and spends a lot of money on service.

Not to mention the scenes of making food in the play, they are all real fresh ingredients.

He is really looking forward to this drama.

The next thing is to go to Po Village to receive the award, and by the way, promote "Dashang Palace", I hope everything goes well.
