Chapter 209 "Legend of Sword and Sword 3" Starts Up

Speaking of which, Han Sheng has been a frequent visitor to Hengdian in the past two years, mainly because this is his third time filming a costume drama, and the most convenient place for filming costume dramas is undoubtedly Hengdian:

There were also newly opened film and television bases in other places before. Not only did they not charge them fees, but they even gave them money to shoot.

This may seem inexplicable, but it's actually not surprising.

"Sword and Sword 3" is such a highly valued IP. After being filmed in this film and television base, it can become a living signature of the other party, attracting more crews to come to shoot, and it can also attract tourists to come for sightseeing.

After all, the film and television city really doesn't have many places to play, and it mainly depends on the scenes shot here.

Don't underestimate the influence of a signature play:

"A Chinese Journey to the West" was filmed in Ningxia Zhenbeibao Film and Television City. Until today, piles of "Zixia fairies" are still wandering around.

"Wulin Gaiden" is even more so.

Just one scene, I have never been out of that alley, such a small world can also attract other tourists.

And how many years have you been filming these two films?

As for "Chinese Paladin 3", even though it hasn't been filmed yet, I think it's probably hard to compare with the classics, but the actors, lineup, and previous works are all more attractive:

At that time, maybe there will be a bunch of "Sedum", "Changqing", "Zixuan", "Solanum nigrum", "Xuejian" and so on
Add up there will always be a lot of people.

So it’s not surprising that people spend money to hire a crew. It’s a sure profit in the long run.

Shanhai Century naturally hopes to save costs. After all, so many big-name actors have been hired, and funds must be carefully controlled.But after reading it, I still had a lot of questions. I was stumbling and had no choice:
Compared with the shooting cost of the entire crew, although the venue fee is not cheap, but I rented a not-so-good venue because I was greedy for cheap
That would be a bit of a waste of money.

The end result is that everyone came here again, and it was the familiar hotel again.Han Sheng thought it was pretty good, at least everything was familiar.He is not a person who recognizes the bed, but a familiar environment is better than an unfamiliar one.

In this way, at least he can calm down and devote himself to the play more quickly.So when he arrived, the hotel arranged for him an old room. He put away his luggage almost as if he was familiar with the routine, then sat at a familiar table and began to go through the script for the last time.

Not to read through, but to walk through it.

After all, TV series are not movies, and the amount of drama is particularly large.Their drama is already relatively small, with 37 episodes, and it takes less than 4 days to shoot one episode, and more than 40 minutes of content can be edited.

According to this rhythm, it will take 12 days to make a movie of more than two hours.

So no matter what, actors must know what they are doing before filming.

Of course, he didn't watch for long, and other actors came one after another, and they all took the initiative to visit: It stands to reason that if they were just Han Sheng's previous status, they were seniors. Although they had declined, they You won't come here just to show off your dignity.

But even if Han Sheng is not working now, he is still a producer, so it is much more normal.

The actor visits the producer.

So the first person to come was Huo Jianhua, who was as positive as ever.

But it is true that he saw that this role fits his style very well. It is rare to meet such a character, so naturally he must seize the opportunity.And Huo Jianhua is not as popular as before - he is even the most confused in the first five episodes of this group:
It is said that actresses have a short shelf life.

But other actresses have been playing recently, and there is movement, but he is really quiet, probably because of the family?

Then there is Tang Yan, well, it is not surprising.

People from the Shanhai Century.

Although he has gone out independently a few years ago, the studio is affiliated with Shanhai Century, and is not so thoroughly tied to the company, but Shangshanhai's own drama is still very cordial.

I just finished filming the scene not long ago, so I came here.

"A make-up?"

Han Sheng then asked, "What kind of scene is it? It took so long to shoot and you still have to reshoot it. I'm afraid it took a lot of effort?"

".It's okay. The director is Xie Ze. You may not know it well. Before that, he worked as a camera assistant for "The Biggest Watch", "A World Without Thieves" and "Three Guns". Later, he worked in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Red Sorghum". I worked as a director of photography, and then filmed the A group of "Legend of Miyue", and now I am transitioning to be a director."

Because they belong to the same company, Tang Yan naturally treated him more casually: "In fact, the ratings of the last two films are relatively average, but they are not bad. The main reason for this reshoot is to add another actor, Zhai Tianlin , and then I joined the group to make up some scenes."

"." Even though Han Sheng felt sick when he heard this name.

After all, all the graduate students who happened to have an accident during his year felt disgusted by him.But he still asked: "Why did you enter the group for a make-up shoot at this time? Is it because someone has a problem with the schedule?"

Tang Yan has already finished filming and left the set, and he may not be able to return to the set for reshoots.So I joined the group at this time, mostly because of some unavoidable reasons.

But if it’s really because we have to reshoot it, otherwise it won’t be broadcast.
That would make this person join the group, and it might be more difficult to broadcast.

"do not know."

Tang Yan said: "Anyway, I, and Wu Xiubo, have all gone back this time."

"." Yes, it is completely unavailable to broadcast now.

In short, it’s all fate.

Actors are not able to broadcast a film after filming it. It may be backlogged for many years, it may not be sold, it may be that the platform suppresses it from broadcasting, or it may be that the rumors have been relatively tight recently.
In short, after bidding farewell to her, only Yang Function, who arrived late, did not meet her face to face.It's just that this one doesn't have to come here to meet Han Sheng. The others are because they don't know Han Sheng very well, so she has already met.

No, I chatted with him on WeChat a few minutes ago, probably meaning that it wasn't my side that wanted to delay, but something went wrong with the company's handling of things, so I had to delay:

Her company recently filmed "Three Lives Three Worlds Pillow Book", and there were a lot of things that went wrong.

Okay, I almost forgot.

Yang Function is also from Jiaxing Media
On the surface, it looks like a wage earner, without much equity.

But Han Sheng felt that Yang Funn, at best, knew the stakes, and at worst, he was shrewd. What if a pure wage earner took such a small share and still filmed so quietly instead of jumping out?

Not only did Yang Function not jump out, but he was basically bound to Jiaxing Media.So he thought it was probably someone holding the equity on his behalf, but Han Sheng didn't know either. He could guess but couldn't lie.

He just joked a few words:
It doesn't matter, just get there. The crew is waiting for you to have a dinner first.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, all the crew members arrived, and they really had a serious meal.

These people are all smart people, and it is not easy to get together.

There are some people who have cooperated with each other and have a good relationship, and some people have a subtle relationship, so it is not particularly lively while eating, but it is not cold.Everyone chatted in three or two, and Han Sheng did not forget to have a few more words with the director.

The director is still Li Changjing.

His status is not what it used to be. After filming "The Immortal Sword", his status has risen gradually.

He relaxed more and did what he had always wanted to do - returned to his hometown of criminal investigation and made a movie, and then went to participate in the Tokyo International Film Festival and won the Best Director Award. The box office is also not bad.

With less than 1 million investment, it received more than 4 million box office.

It can be said that he has come here as the first step in successfully selling a TV director to a movie.

But when Shanhai Century contacted him before, the other party still took it without hesitation.

In his opinion, that criminal investigation movie was a notebook he had saved for a long time. In order to pass the trial while preserving the plot as much as possible, he also used up the favor he had saved for a long time. For the time being, he didn't have the conditions to make a movie.

"Besides, filming TV series is much better than filming movies." Li Changjing took a sip from the wine glass, and then smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much."

"Come on, you, when I was looking for you at the beginning of the year, you said that the crew was too busy. When I finished filming "Youth in Youth" and went to promote it in September, there happened to be an event near your house, and you didn't have time to come."

Han Sheng shook his head and pierced through:
"You can say this now? Why don't I believe it?"

"Don't, I admit it before, but you don't know that my child was called the parent that day, and I was at school when you called."

When he mentioned this, he couldn't help but his face was full of pain, and he said: "You said that I spent so much money to apply for various applications, and snatched him a place in this middle school. Why did you find me a job right after the school started?"

"Hey, forget it, don't mention him, anyway, don't you know me?"

"I'm just saying that because I know you."

Han Sheng waved his hand and said, "You, the reason why you said that you pay a lot of money to make a TV series is justified."

"Ahem, this money is indeed more."

Li Changjing was a little helpless. What Han Sheng said was indeed a reason, but there was another: "But I am indeed more used to filming TV dramas. This time I am not as handy as TV dramas in filming movies, let alone editing."

In the past, editing was all kinds of random.

When editing a movie, I can’t wait to not delete every minute, and I only need to cut out a four-hour story.

"Really? Then you probably came to the wrong place this time."

Han Sheng's face lit up with joy when he heard what he said, and he smiled and said, "Did you see that person over there?"

He pointed his eyes and said, "These are all wrists. I managed to get them into the group, but how to get them to cooperate well with the shooting, how to ensure the role of the scene, and the post-editing. That's a problem.

Anyway, it’s not like you only had to take care of the hero and heroine before. "

"That's true, indeed"

Li Changjing's face lit up with joy: "Okay, drink less today, and I'll deal with the media well at the opening ceremony tomorrow!"

On January 1, the opening ceremony of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 4" was officially held.

As for this start-up ceremony, in fact, many times the film crew does not necessarily follow the actual start-up time.It is possible that after filming for a while, such an event will be held again when there is time. Many film crews even simplify it.

But TV drama crews are different.

The film crew has received investment from the beginning, and will make money from the box office after the film is released, so it does not require a lot of attention in the early stage, and only publicity in the later stage will be enough.After all, the production cycle is also long, and the schedule selection period will also be selected. It would be good if it can be released within a year, but the early promotion is in vain, and the audience has long forgotten.

Although the TV series also requires early investment, the income depends on the amount given by the TV station and online platform.

And, before it was broadcast.

Therefore, it is necessary to continuously maintain the heat from the time of starting up to obtain a better price.In addition, the production cycle of TV dramas is relatively short, and the early publicity is not in vain.

In addition, the cast and crew are too luxurious, and there is indeed pressure to return the money.

So today, the crew built a big stage, invited many reporters, and held a grand opening ceremony.

However, although the format is much larger, the process is still the same. First, I will brag about myself, then the management will speak, and finally the part that the media pays most attention to, the actor interview:

Not to mention in the play, these actors outside the play are also constantly talking about it.

For example, Tang Yan held a wedding not long ago. It was a relatively low-key kind, and the media basically had no news. Aren't you curious?

For example, Yang Funn just issued a statement more than a week ago, announcing that he and Liu Kaiwei had divorced within the year, and that the two would raise their daughter together as relatives, and they were on the cusp of a storm.

For another example, the media is actually not even most concerned about these things.

Tang Yan and Yang Funn were able to be interviewed individually, but not together: the news that the friendship between the two plastic sisters has broken is known to everyone, but they did not expect to cooperate now?
This is so interesting.

Moreover, this is the latest news.

"Hello host, hello Tang Yan, hello Yang Fun."

The reporters first knew the rules and asked questions about the various roles of the crew, and then a senior entertainment reporter stood up and asked: "Actually, apart from the content of the filming this time, I am also curious about what brought the two of them back together. What about getting together?"

"Fate, I think the opportunity is right, so we can just reunite."

Yang function can cope with it freely.

This is all trivial. In the era when there were not many self-defeating, Yang Function was able to play his stinky feet into a meme.

It was Tang Yan who was struggling.

After thinking for two seconds, he still said, "Yes, the opportunity is right."

"But as far as I know, it seems that the two of them have not been in contact with each other for a long time as good friends. The interaction on the stage just now was actually very abnormal. For example, Han Sheng and Su Qing have acted together, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. , but both of them would look at each other when answering."

But the senior entertainment reporter dared to ask: "But after you took the stage, you have never looked at each other."

"Why not? You didn't pay much attention, did you? Look, I'm watching it now."

As Yang Function said, he turned his head and looked at Tang Yan immediately.

".yes."

Tang Yan also turned his head to look over, the smiles on their faces.
Han Sheng Waterfall Khan, I feel that this can be selected as the famous scene of "Plastic Sisters", which is comparable to Yang Funn's four masterpieces - "Little Times 1234".

Come on, boy.

He managed to get the two of them into the group, and he will film together later. He must hope that the relationship between the two will ease.But don't go back just because of a crew's press conference.

He gestured with his eyes for the director to take the interview.

"Ah, this is really interesting..."

Li Changjing took it naturally with a smile, and sure enough, yesterday's instructions still came into effect.That's right, in fact, outsiders can now see that there are still some minor problems within the crew.

However, Han Sheng always felt that this drama could attract everyone to film it well.

He has already prepared everything from preparations, actors, directors and so on.

If you have done your best, then forget about it.

So busy, tidying up, preparing.

After lunch, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the interior decoration was completed.It was very ceremonial again. When Han Sheng filmed the first scene, Li Changjing announced: "Come on, all departments are ready, 3, 2, 1, action!"
