Chapter 164 The comprehensive upgrade of the character's costumes and Taoist scenery and Jinwu Zangjiao × 2
"Most willing to forget ancient poems
The most disdainful is Acacia

guarding love, afraid of people laughing

I am afraid that people will see clearly
Spring is coming to see red beans
I didn't see a lover to pick it up
Fireworks embrace romance, true love is not there
......"

Accompanied by the powerful, but poignant and melodious singing voice of the elder sister from the hometown, the first two episodes of "Journey to the West" came to an end.

Many people present in the conference room were still immersed in the singing, savoring the taste, and a few focused on the TV series itself, talking about the plot just now in a low voice.

For example, Zhang Zijian, who has never read the script, is very interested in this drama and keeps asking Qian Yanqiu related questions.

As the boss, Cao Xuan himself made a comprehensive comparison of all aspects of TV dramas.

First of all, in terms of actors, in the roles that appeared in the first two episodes, several actors played well.

Huang Haibin's Tang Seng, in addition to the compassion and gentleness in the public's general impression, also has a little more perseverance and firmness.

This is a specially added character set based on the plot of the TV series. After all, "Journey to the West" is no longer the master who is protected by several apprentices, but Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha.

Zheng'er is a master of both Zen and martial arts who knows spells and fights. An upgraded and enchanted nine-ring tin staff dances vigorously.

And when Monkey King was fighting against Wutian, Tang Seng and Nezha were also his most powerful teammates.

Even in many cases, he is responsible for the important task of guarding the family. On the whole, it can be said that he is the most outstanding Tang Seng in the scripture learning teams of the major versions.

In fact, this role is much better than Qiao Ling'er who went down to earth to fall in love, second only to Monkey King and Wutian.

Ren Quan had just read the script and wanted to play Tang Seng, but Huang Haibin had already made up his mind, so he decided to play Qiao Ling'er instead.

The actor of Zhu Bajie is Lu Hanbiao, with a very special surname. He is a classmate of Huang Lei and Jiang Wu in the performance department of Nortel's 90th grade. He is currently teaching at Nortel and later joined Mandarin.

Lu Hanbiao was able to get the role of Zhu Bajie, thanks to Qian Yanqiu's contribution. The two are brothers, and he quite supported each other in this role.

Being able to be studied by Nortel and enter the National Theater, Lu Hanbiao's professional level is quite excellent, and Zhu Bajie's silly and funny performances are all performed.

In the first two episodes, he was the most eye-catching of all the characters that appeared on the stage. If it weren't for the quality of Monkey King and Tang Seng, the scenes would have been robbed.

There are not many roles in the Drifting Monk, and he plays steadily. Xiaobailong is just a role in the scene, and he found young actors, which is quite standard.

All the rest of the highlights are actually in the role of Monkey King.

At the beginning, because Teacher Six charged too much, Cao Xuan tried his best to invite Ding Jian to play Monkey King.

To be honest, at that time, many people in the crew of "Journey to the West" disagreed with this matter. After all, Ding Jian has no name and name, and no one can guarantee that he can provoke the leader.

So the production crew had two voices at the time, one was to continue to add money to Teacher Liu, and the other was to hire someone from Xiangjiang, Cao Rong, Zhang Weijian or Chen Haomin.

Needless to say about the former, "Journey to the West Continued" was a huge hit at the time. Teacher Six was invited to ensure the strength of the actors and publicity.

For the next three Xiangjiang actors, Cao Rong had contacted with the crew before, and the last two were Sun Wukong who played the TVB version.

This proposal was directly refuted by Cao Xuan. It is easy to spend money, but what if you can't get it back.

Ding Jian himself is the "lower version" of the sixth teacher. When the two parties disagree on the salary, Cao Xuan naturally chooses the one with higher cost performance.

As for those in Xiangjiang, Cao Rong doesn't talk about it, and the other two don't say whether their styles are suitable. The key point is that they are now popular and paid millions of dollars. With this money, he might as well smash Teacher Liu.

Since becoming the boss of a film and television company, Cao Xuan's thoughts have also changed.

When I was an actor before, I always felt that the producers and producers were so unreasonable, and the filming was not grand at all. For better effects, why spend more money.

And when he became a producer himself, he worried every day that those directors and actors would ruin each other one by one, and it was obvious that some unnecessary things had to be spent.

You don't pay for emotional money!

It took only one play, and Boss Cao learned the four words [cost control] without a teacher.

It is particularly worth noting that cost control does not mean shoddy manufacturing, but spending money wisely. Cao Xuan can tolerate some overspending, and will even take the initiative to increase money for better results.

What he wants is to pursue higher effects within a reasonable cost, not to save money for the sake of saving money.

The former is to consider the cost performance, while the latter is to waste food because of choking.

He had considered Mr. Six's matter over and over again, and he had carefully considered the advantages and disadvantages before finally choosing Ding Jian.

Everyone in the production team objected because they didn't know Ding Jian well. When the post-production was filming, there were fewer and fewer similar voices. At most, they said a few words that the publicity effect was not strong, but they didn't say that Ding Jian's acting skills were not good enough.

Ding Jian himself knows that the opportunity is rare, and he is the hardest-working actor in the entire "Journey to the West" crew.

The Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" is calm and wise, calm and sharp, a bit like the mythical version of Yan Shuangying, or the combination of Di Renjie + Li Yuanfang.

The original version of Cao Rong blindly pursued this point, and turned Monkey King into a paralyzed face, which invisibly gave up some of the highlights of Monkey King.

In fact, in the plot of "Journey to the West", it can be seen that the screenwriter consciously designed some monkeys to be clever and mischievous, molesting the villains and making fun of teammates.

But the original version was not performed at all, and it was a very dead version, which made many viewers who liked the show use the fight to defeat the Buddha as an excuse.

But fighting against Buddha is also Monkey King.

The Monkey King portrayed in the animated film version and the TV series "Lotus Lantern" is a monkey in cassock. Many people will smile knowingly when they see it, and feel that it fits the character of Monkey King.

No matter Sun Wukong is the Monkey King, Sun Xingzhe, or Fighting and Conquering Buddha, he overemphasizes his human nature and ignores his monkey nature, which seems too thin.

It is worth mentioning that this is the Monkey King in the public impression, or the animations of the 86 editions of "Journey to the West" and "Havoc in the Sky", as well as the images of Monkey King published in simplified Chinese.

It's not the "angry" hozen in the original book, nor is it the peerless demon king/Monkey King who was impacted by online literature.

Ding Jian's performance is in the same vein as the sixth teacher, and his style is more popular, clever and mischievous, smart and brave, and it also fits very well with the Monkey King character set in the script of "Journey to the West".

Of course, due to the confrontation with Wutian, the big villain in the plot, Monkey King in the play realizes that the opponent is difficult, and his performance will be more calm and serious.

Especially in the later stage of the plot, almost one person fights against the "Three Realms", which is too out of the way and out of the play.

Therefore, Monkey King in "Journey to the West" should be a combination of humanity and monkey nature. The first half of the plot is mostly monkey nature, and the second half is mostly human nature.

How to grasp this speed is a difficult problem that Ding Jian pays attention to all the time in the crew. Fortunately, he performed well.

At least in the first two episodes, Cao Xuan saw TV dramas in the play, and the performance was rich in layers, including Monkey King's cunning and clever side, as well as some calm and serious scenes.

Ding Jian's performance was originally like the sixth teacher, and the crew specially invited Li Yang, the voice of the sixth teacher in the 86 version of "Journey to the West", plus a monkey leather cover, most people really can't tell the difference between the two.

Except for the actors, the shooting lens is not as fancy as the original version, and it is swaying here and there, but the camera is taken according to the normal shooting lens.

The fighting scene also eliminated ghosts and animals, and then hired a martial arts instructor from Xiangjiang. The action is not to say how amazing it is, but it is well-organized and looks good.

In addition, under Cao Xuan's instructions, "Journey to the West" has done a lot of work to subdue Huadao.

To be honest, if domestic dramas and movies can make such a difference, Fuhuadao has to bear a small part of the blame. Urban dramas are okay, but ancient costumes are completely dependent on fate.

Especially the group of stylists and costumers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, although they have produced countless beauties and handsome men and classic film and television appearances, they also have countless strange looks.

Rather than betting on the status of these people, Cao Xuan still believed in the big gods of CCTV. If the big bosses can't dig them out, it's not a big problem for them to be apprentices and grandchildren.

Maybe these people seldom come up with classics, but the lower limit is high enough, so they won't easily engage in things that attract people's attention.

For an entertainment film and television company, it is very important to have a group of stylists with online aesthetic ability.

For example, a large part of the reason why Tang Ren made good-looking dramas is that there are many handsome men and beautiful women, and the stylists have contributed a lot.

The classic film and television images of Da Mimi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Liu Tianxian, Zeng Li and many other women were all born in the Tang Dynasty, and they have attracted wave after wave of fans.

Therefore, for a TV series aimed at young people, whether the stylist can dress up the actors beautifully is also an important factor for success.

Fanxing currently has signed a stylist and two makeup artists, all of whom were hired from CCTV through connections, to be responsible for the styling design and makeup team of Fanxing's film and television crew roles and artist activities.

In addition, there are a series of behind-the-scenes personnel specialized in photography, art, props, lighting, etc., all of whom are elites dug from various units in the capital.

Now Fanxing's foundation is still weak, basically they will go in person, and then temporarily second some people. When Fanxing expands later, they will continue to recruit relevant talents, and even train them independently.

It is precisely because of the composition of these behind-the-scenes teams that the service of "Journey to the West" has improved greatly compared with the original version.

The costumes, weapons, and makeup of the characters are much more refined, without the original version, it looks a bit cheap, like a 999 page game.

The scenery is also good-looking. Although due to the cost, I did not make much action, but it also enriched a lot of details. Tianting, Lingshan and other places also look decent, not as "grass team" as the original version.

Of course, the improvement of the quality of these Fuhua Dao comes at a considerable price.

Cao Xuan invested nearly 50 more than expected, and the little money saved by not asking Mr. Liu before was thrown into it.

However, Cao Xuan felt that it was worth it. In fact, he was somewhat obsessive-compulsive and obsessive about details.

Looking at the significantly improved service and the more beautiful scenes on the screen, I feel very comfortable and have a sense of accomplishment in my heart.

Regardless of the screenwriter and director, Cao Xuan thinks that the drama line of "Fuhua Daojing Boutique" is an important magic weapon for launching the Fanxing film and television brand in the future, and at the same time can gain a lot of favor from practitioners and audience groups in the circle.

.........

Generally speaking, Cao Xuan is quite satisfied with the first TV series "Journey to the West" independently produced by Fanxing.

Out of 100 points, you can score 80 points.

There is room for further improvement, but it is considered good. Producer Ding Ying, director Qian Yanqiu, Chen Hanzhu and all the participants have all received his praise.

Cao Xuan has always been honest in his actions. In addition to verbal awards, there are also bonuses. The specific amount depends on the sales of the second round of broadcasting rights of "Journey to the West", but he will definitely not treat everyone badly.

In addition to bonuses, there have also been corresponding changes in positions. Ding Ying is the producer of the two dramas "The Family of Gold Fans" and "Love Through Time and Space" that have already begun preparations.

He is also the co-producer of the two dramas "Li Wei as an Official" and "The Years of Burning Passion" that Fanxing participated in.

Although Cao Xuan held the producers of the two dramas "Armor Warrior" and "Yan Shuangying" in his hands, he was ready to support the newcomers.

But even so, Ding Ying, who is in charge of several Fanxing film and television projects, can be regarded as under one person and above dozens of people in the film and television production department.

Even within Fanxing, he can be regarded as a high-level executive. If it wasn't for the short time and no one to check and balance, he would be able to take a deputy position in the film and television production department.

Chen Hanzhu and Qian Yanqiu are also rising, each filming a TV series independently, Qian Yanqiu wrote and directed "Yan Shuangying", while Chen Hanzhu won "Love Through Time and Space".

As for "The Family of Gold Fans", Cao Xuan plans to find a director with high quality. The original Liu Guoquan is good, and the filming technique has the delicate and romantic style unique to female directors.

Even Chen and Qian, Cao Xuan planned to find an experienced assistant director to watch them.

Especially Qian Yanqiu, who is a talented person, but the filming is too stereotyped, and he doesn't like to pay attention to details, which is very sloppy. Cao Xuan thinks that if he can get rid of this problem, the quality of the TV series can be doubled.

As for "Armor Warrior", the progress is the slowest, and it is a special film drama with a weak market, so the priority must be in the back row.

After the meeting, Boss Cao gave the employees a bloodbath. Everyone walked out of the meeting room one after another, and Hu Jing stayed in the room openly.

Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Zijian understood what was going on in an instant, and Gao Yuanyuan's smile on Hu Jing was a little more cordial and sweet before leaving.

Cao Xuan kept staring at the interaction between the two, and teased when he saw this, "How does the lady boss taste, she is quite impressive."

"Don't talk nonsense, I care about newcomers, when did I play prestige?"

Hu Jing was a little embarrassed, but she acquiesced to Cao Xuan's statement. She peeked outside and closed the door. Cao Xuan was so "nervous" that he tugged on his collar.

"What are you doing? You have to pay attention to your image in the company. If you can't do it, you can't stay here. Go to my office, where the sound is isolated."

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Hu Jing blushed and spat at him, then took out a key from her bag, Cao Xuan took it and asked curiously.

"What is this?"

"The key to the Tongzhou apartment. I bought a new house and am planning to move out of the apartment. I want to return the apartment to the company. Sister Jiang doesn't want the key, so I will give it to you."

"A house? How much did you pay for it? Why do you think of buying a house yourself?"

Cao Xuan didn't expect Hu Jing to buy a house without saying a word, he was startled, and Hu Jing showed off a little proudly.

"Didn't you say that there is a lot of room for promotion in a house in the capital? When I was filming before, I also saved about 20 yuan in salary, and I took on some commercial performances. My parents gave me another 10 yuan, and I made up about 40 yuan for a down payment. For less than 20 yuan, I bought a small apartment of about 90 square meters in Dongcheng.”

Hu Jing comes from a middle-class family, and her parents are both businessmen. Although she doesn't say how rich she is, she still has some economic acumen.

Cao Xuan's net worth exceeded [-] million in just a few years, and both investments also made money. Hu Jing felt that Cao Xuan had a good sense of business, so she planned to invest with the boss.

Once in a chat, she heard that Cao Xuan was optimistic about the real estate market in Beijing, so she took it to heart. After she had saved up, she planned to buy a house to preserve its value.

"It's really not a family. If you don't enter a family, you want to hoard houses if you make money."

Cao Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't stop Hu Jing. With her capital and brains, buying a house is indeed a safe financial management direction.

But there is no need to move out, Cao Xuan handed the key to Hu Jing again: "It is crowded to live in 90 square meters, the house in Tongzhou was originally bought for you, so live in peace."

"Bought it for me?"

Hu Jing was a little stunned, Cao Xuan looked at her silly, couldn't help poking her dimple, and said with a smile.

"The house book is in your name. Last time the company asked for your certificate, I was afraid you wouldn't want it, so I kept it here."

Hu Jing was a little flustered at first because of the house falling from the sky, but it didn't take long before she suddenly thought of a problem.

"She...has it?"

"no!"

Of course Cao Xuan knew who "she" was, his head shook like a rattle, and his tone firmly repeated the same words he said in front of Zeng Li a few months ago.

"This is our house, only you have it."

Hu Jing was skeptical, but still sweet in her heart, put away the key, and couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Cao Xuan, Cao Xuan made an inch of it, hugged her and savored it for a few minutes.

If it weren't for being in the office, there would be too many people outside, and the gun might go off.

In fact, for Zeng Li and Hu Jing, the house is not particularly important, the most important thing is Cao Xuan's sincerity towards them.

The two chose to accept the house, not only because of the value of the house itself, but also because it was given by Cao Xuan.

Of course, the two of them are not the ones who only know how to ask, and they both responded to varying degrees.

Afterwards, Hu Jing asked a famous craftsman to make a Han sword. Cao Xuan didn't have many hobbies, so his collection counted as half.

I don’t know much about antiques. Except for personal souvenirs, I love jade and cold weapons. Jade is something to watch, and cold weapons are purely men’s feelings.

Hu Jing fought the sword at a cost of over 8 yuan, and Zeng Li also gave Cao Xuan a watch worth more than 3 yuan.

The gift money of the two of them is not too much, but it is also the greatest sincerity that each can show.

Especially Zeng Li, Hu Jing has already become famous and has a steady stream of income. She is now an unknown person, and she spent most of her cash in this breath, which made Cao Xuan have to find a way to subsidize her.

The two accepted the house happily, but they were rushing to build a love nest. Cao Xuan wanted to make up for it every day, and he couldn't give it out without "making a clever name".
