I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 414 Dissatisfied!
The shooting of documentaries is like mountains and rivers.

It needs to be gradual.

It is not like a film and television drama, where a studio scene can be artificially built.

Then let the actors in the shed play out the results the director wants.

If you are wrong once, you can do it a second time.

After all, the potential of actors is unlimited.

But if you do this for a documentary, then you violate the authenticity of the documentary.

Because documentaries are all about reporting facts.

This is why the cycle of a documentary is enough for other movies and TV series to make one, two, three, four, five seasons.

When Xu Wen left Huaguo, the filming of "Hexi Corridor" had already started for a long time.

When Xu Wen returned from his work in the United States, "Hexi Corridor" was still being filmed.

Suffice it to say that documentaries are a colossal engineering project.

After staying with Hu Xiaoqing for a few days, and after eating his fat intestines, Hu Xiaoqing returned to Shanghai.

And Xu Wen flew to Gansu on a plane.

Both have their own jobs to keep busy.

The brief separation is for a better reunion next time.

Gansu is still the same Gansu.

Full of historical and cultural atmosphere.

But there are some modern advancements.

As soon as Xu Wen arrived at Gansu, he went straight to the crew.

I haven't seen the crew for a long time, and even miss it.

Although I was in contact with the film crew every day when I was filming "Walking with the Kadezhan Family".

But being on a reality TV set is not the same as being on a documentary set.

At the very least, there are no three little foxes and one old fox pestering you every day in the documentary film crew.

After meeting his employees in Gansu, Xu Wen saved the politeness.

Quickly got to work.

The first thing Xu Wen did after entering the crew was to check the material that had been shot before.

Although the alley, the second-tiered hall, and Zhang Min are arguing that they came to the crew of "Hexi Corridor" because of James.

But the quality of their shots still satisfies Xu Wen.

At least so far, Xu Wen is very satisfied with what he has seen.

After checking the previous homework, Xu Wen continued to shoot in depth.

It's a familiar recipe, and it's a familiar taste.

The filming with James was still so smooth.

It went so smoothly that Xu Wen had the same idea as Zhang Min.

reluctant!
During the filming process, Xu Wen had an idea.

Taking advantage of a certain day of filming, Xu Wen looked directly at James and said.

"Hey, James, how are you doing on our set?"

"Very good. The crew is very professional and the atmosphere is very good. I like it very much."

James, an honest man, smiled and nodded.

Xu Wen was overjoyed and continued to speak.

"Then do you have any idea to stay and work with us? Our company is really short of people."

"No, no, I'd better not stay."

James shook his head like a rattle when he heard this.

Xu Wen was a little surprised.

"Why, aren't you very happy? Aren't you very happy with us? Don't you want to keep this happy for longer?"

The corners of James' mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

"I feel very happy because I know that the time for this happiness is limited, so I will cherish this happiness very much. Once I know that this happiness has no time limit, then such happiness will be diluted."

"Although I enjoy happiness, regret and sadness are also part of my life journey. If I stay in this place, then my photography journey may end here."

Although James' voice was very soft, it revealed an undeniable firmness.

This white man with a charming face looks honest and easy to deceive, but he is not what Xu Wen thinks.

Xu Wen felt a little regretful.

It seems that this calculation is also in vain.

But think about it, James' skills are so good.

He is definitely not the only one who wants to include him under his command, but James has maintained an image of an independent photographer for so many years, coming and going like the wind.

I knew this was not an easy man.

Now that James has refused, Xu Wen is not persistent.

Smiling off topic.

"It's a pity. Next, we're going to shoot the scenes in the studio. Let's go and have a look."

"Ok."

James said with a smile.

The two got on the shuttle bus and walked towards the studio.

During the filming of "Hexi Corridor", some historical scenes need to be restored.

So a lot of actors were hired, but they were all college students from local film and television colleges.

Now that the film and television industry is cold, give them a chance to practice.

This made them all wish for it, leading to a surge in the number of applicants.

At the end of the day, you have to be selected.

Walking into the studio, the atmosphere is obviously different.

Due to the increase in personnel, the atmosphere at the scene was very lively.

The director in charge of scheduling ran back and forth on the scene with a loudspeaker, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Hey, hey, get ready for the person who plays the refugee, he's going to play later."

"Well, how many sets of officials' clothes are missing, where are the people in the clothing team?"

"Did you see the hairpin prepared by the props group? It's gold inlaid with jade."

"Hey, you can't eat this! I repeat! You can't eat props!"

Xu Wen shuttled around the scene for a while, but couldn't bear the atmosphere of the scene.

Take the time to smoke a cigarette.

Then he headed into the studio.

Documentary filming is easy to immerse yourself in.

There are no big names for actors.

No big names bothered Xu Wen to change the script.

It was much smoother than when Xu Wen was filming Ka Dai Delete.

It took about half a month to shoot.

Everything went smoothly.

Xu Wen was called out to Gansu by a phone call.

The second season of "Hua Guo Poetry Conference" has started shooting!

This time the director is Hutong.

After filming "National Treasure" last time, Hutong found the rhythm of filming variety shows.

So this time, Xu Wen gave him the task of filming the second season of "Hua Guo Poetry Conference".

In order to support him, Xu Wen also attended the press conference of the second season of "Hua Guo Poetry Conference".

It also gave enough face to the Hutong.

The lineup configuration of the second season is not much different from that of the first season.

The host is He Zhi.

Since hosting the first season, He Zhi's commercial value has skyrocketed.

When receiving the invitation for the second season, He Zhi agreed almost without thinking.

At the scene of the press conference, the media gathered.

The flashes on set almost never stopped.

Thanks to Xu Wen's experience, he brought a pair of sunglasses in advance.

Poor alley is miserable.

The eyes are flashed, and everything is blurred.

When I participated in the press conference of "National Treasure" before, there were far not so many reporters and media.

Because it is a CCTV program, the control of the scene is very strict.

The reporters who were invited to come to the scene were very disciplined.

But when it comes to local satellite TV, there are not so many rules.

The flashes are turned on one by one, wishing to take pictures of all the pores on your face.

This led to the inexperienced Hutong, and learned a painful lesson this time.

After introducing the general lineup of the show, it was time for the introduction by the host He Zhi.

Looking at He Zhi who was shining brightly on the stage, he was beaming with joy.

Xu Wen sat under the stage and touched the alley with his elbow.

"Hey, hey, I heard what happened to the change of host before?"

Before Xu Wenlai, he had heard rumors that the host of the second season would be replaced.

But again it was a misunderstanding.

Although he handed over the command of the show to Hutong, Xu Wen also has a gossip heart.

This is how people encounter things related to themselves.

I don't want others to know.

But in the face of other people's gossip, I want to know clearly.

Hutong rubbed his eyes and explained the ins and outs of the incident.

It turned out that when it was reported that the second season of "Hua Guo Poetry Conference" was approved, many hosts wanted to compete for this seat.

Just like actors robbing resources.

In the face of hot productions, I want to try it.

The first season of "Hua Guo Poetry Conference" was very hot, which made many people jealous.

Now that the second season is coming, some hosts who think they have huge backgrounds have issued euphemistic self-recommendations.

Originally alleys were rejected.

He watched the first season, and he was more inclined to let He Zhi continue to host.

Therefore, all the hosts who offered hints were rejected with the words that the host was set.

But I can't stand it. Some hosts have really big backgrounds.

The last resort in the alley can only be to ask Liu Ke for instructions.

Liu Ke is also very difficult to face this problem.

He had just been promoted, so he really didn't want to offend some people because of these problems.

The two discussed for a long time, and finally made a bad move.

That was pushed onto Zhou Huan's head.

Anyway, Zhou Huan is the head of the station, and he is about to retire.

It's not like Liu Ke just started as the director of the station.

Zhou Huan was also speechless.

But it also acquiesced in the behavior of the two people.

At most it's just a waste of time.

It doesn't matter.

With Zhou Huan as a human wall.

Only then did He Zhi stand on the stage at this moment.

Otherwise, I don’t know which one appeared here today.

That's what the entertainment industry is like.

Sometimes when a hit TV series or movie becomes popular.

There is a steady stream of people who want to join the sequel of this work.

So sometimes we see the sequel of a work without seeing the actors of the previous work.

Sometimes it's not that the producer doesn't want to call in the original crew to shoot, it's because there are too many mixed factors.

For details, please refer to Xingqing Apartment.

This phenomenon is also true in variety shows.

Fortunately, Liu Ke has the determination to create a continuous IP.

Avoid this from happening.

But there are also regrets.

That is the stage where Wu Yishu, the popular contestant in the first season, bid farewell to the poetry competition completely.

Although the program intends to invite Wu Yishu to be a flying guest challenge in a certain episode.

But this idea was rejected when it was reported to Xu Wen.

People are now preparing for the college entrance examination.

No time!

Besides, variety shows are meant to continuously create new sensory stimuli.

Always holding on to the front and not letting go of what's going on.

It's like a TV variety show.

Do memory killing every day.

What a reunion of the original cast of a classic TV series.

As long as Xu Wen knows, a TV series has reunited four times!
Isn't it embarrassing to watch the unfamiliarity of the actors standing on the stage?
So Xu Wen almost never thought about this form.

The press conference of the second season of "Hua Guo Poetry Conference" is over.

Xu Wen hurried back to Gansu again.

Into the filming work.

In this process, new people are constantly joining the crew, and some people leave halfway.

But fortunately, the giant ship "Hexi Corridor" has finally sailed to the other side.

Ushered in the closing day!
After the show ended, Xu Wen first spent a few days having dinner with the crew, mainly for one night.

The remaining days were spent remembering the sadness of James' departure.

It took another month or so to edit the film.

After the final film came out, Xu Wen immediately sent the film to Xiangjiang and waited for Xiangjiang's reply.

I started looking for a broadcast platform in advance.

After all, a documentary must be launched on a TV station or a webcasting platform.

No matter how many times Xiangjiang asked before, they always gave Xu Wen the same answer.

"Just look for it!"

There is no way, Xu Wen can only decide by himself.

It's a matter of course.

If the decision is not good, it is the crew's responsibility.

This made Xu Wen deeply remember Xiangjiang's "casual" routine in his heart.

Among the several TV stations that Xu Wen has contacted so far, Mango TV and Modu TV are more optimistic about Xu Wen.

The reason for avoiding opening the central station is because the central station is currently broadcasting "National Treasure".

You cannot compete for resources on the same stage.

The same is true for avoiding Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiwan.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan have the second season of "Huaguo Poetry Conference".

Although Liu Ke wanted to become a fat man in one bite, he wanted to eat "Hexi Corridor".

But Xu Wen still refused because of the 4000 million yuan.

Angrily, Yu Guangguang scolded him as a scumbag who started messing around and gave up all the time.

After weighing, Xu Wen finally chose Mango Terrace.

This is the first time Xu Wen has cooperated with Mango Channel.

For this reason, he also inspected Mango Terrace carefully.

Mango Channel is very sincere, not only agreeing to give the broadcast time of the prime time.

It also gave S+ level promotion resources.

Coupled with Mango Channel's long-standing influence, Cai Xuwen made up his mind to cooperate with Mango Channel.

After confirming again, Chen Xianrong smiled like a rose flower.

What to say when you call.

"Hahahahaha, if you want me to say it, what I said back then was correct. Director Xu has such an outstanding talent, and sooner or later he will join us at Mango Terrace."

It made goosebumps all over Xu Wen's body.

The next step is to wait for a reply from Xiangjiang, and then sign a contract with Mango TV.

The feedback from Xiangjiang was sent very quickly.

But it also surprised Xu Wen.

"What? Dissatisfied with the content?!"

When Xu Wen heard the news, he was extremely surprised.

If Xiangjiang expressed dissatisfaction with Xu Wen's own films, Xu Wen would be understandable.

But the "Hexi Corridor" filmed by Xu Wen this time was broadcast in the previous life, and it has been successfully verified.

Xu Wen never imagined that there was an easy-to-talk Xiangjiang in the early stage.

Unexpectedly say dissatisfied.

what to do!
　meow~
