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

Chapter 484 Preparations for a new drama!

After the awarding ceremony of the Golden Magnolia Award, Xu Wen and Zhang Min returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The first thing that greeted Xu Wen was the largest section of seven entertainment magazines.

[Xu Wen's first TV series won the Golden Magnolia Award! ]
[Good start!Xu Wen's first TV series won the Golden Magnolia Award! ]
[Crossover success!Xu Wen's "The World" successfully won the Golden Magnolia Award! ]
In addition, there are many media who are blocking the door of the company and want to interview Xu Wen.

However, Xu Wen had already said that he would not accept interviews, so these media people were persuaded by Zhang Min's good words and persuaded them to leave.

into the company.

There was applause like a tide.

"woo~"

"The Boss King is back!"

"The boss is sending out red envelopes!"

Xu Wen could pretend to ignore the media's congratulations, but faced the congratulations from the employees who had been with him day and night.

Xu Wen was still very happy.

"Thank you, everyone. I will make statistics from various departments later. What kind of milk tea and snacks do you want to drink? Today's afternoon tea is enough. In addition, you can relax tonight. Everyone will have a half-day vacation tomorrow morning."

When it comes to holidays, the employees are even more excited.

"wooo~"

"The boss is so angry!!"

"The boss is the most handsome!"

Xu Wen smiled and walked into the office amid applause.

The trophies brought back by Zhang Min began to be circulated in various departments.

For things like trophies, apart from being a little excited when I first got them, the excitement gradually faded after I got them.

"Wow, this is the trophy for the Golden Magnolia Award."

"It's heavy to hold."

"Is this real gold?"

In the office, listening to the bustling discussions outside, Zhang Min couldn't help but smile.

He pulled the chair aside and sat down.

"You know how to bribe employees. I've worked so hard to manage the work, but I don't see them being so fond of me. When you come back with a few words, they will applaud again and again."

"Do you think there is no share in this applause?"

Xu Wen smiled, not seeming to care at all.

He reached out and poured Zhang Min a cup of tea.

Zhang Min chuckled and did not refute Xu Wen.

Unknowingly, she and Xu Wen formed a wonderful relationship.

Xu Wen is responsible for expanding the territory outside, whether it is engaging in variety shows or TV dramas.

And Zhang Min is responsible for stabilizing the country that Xu Wen has brought down.

This kind of business partner feels like one inside the master and one outside the master.

Zhang Min took a sip of tea and couldn't help sighing.

"Oh, speaking of it, when I resigned from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, I wanted to follow you to continue making works, but time has passed, and I somehow became a manager, and became the leader of so many people. Speaking of which, I used to hate leaders the most. of."

"Everyone is going to be what they hate."

Xu Wen continued with a smile.

Zhang Min laughed out loud.

After a while, Zhang Min regained his serious appearance.

"Hey, now that the Golden Magnolia Award is over, the next thing is..."

"Then it's up to us!"

An extremely arrogant voice came from the door.

Xu Wen and Zhang Min turned their heads and found that Yu Guangguang appeared at the door at some time.

Holding flowers and fruits in his hands, he obviously looks like a visit.

"Congratulations, you have won the Golden Magnolia Award. Nuo, here are the flowers and fruits I bought for you."

Yu Guangguang walked in with a smile.

A familiar look.

Xu Wen took the flowers and asked suspiciously.

"Sister Yu, why do you look like you are visiting a patient?"

"Is there? Don't talk nonsense."

Yu Guangguang gave Xu Wen an angry look.

Zhang Min smiled and shook his head.

"Let's talk, then I'll go out first."

Saying that, he got up and left Xu Wen's office, closing the door by the way.

After Zhang Min left, Yu Guangguang said with a smile.

"Actually, I was asked to congratulate you in name, but in fact, I was asked to see how your progress is. Of course, don't think too much. I'm definitely not urging you. I'm just Take care."

It seems that in order to avoid Xu Wen's overthinking, Yu Guangguang specially explained it.

Xu Wen couldn't laugh or cry.

"Don't worry, since I have agreed to Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, then I will definitely complete the creation of this drama. I have basically written the script in the early stage, and I just need to finish it."

"That's good, that's good. If the script is finished, if you need my help, just say it."

Yu Guangguang chuckled.

Xu Wen nodded.

"must."

After sending Yu Guangguang away, Xu Wen lay on the chair and let out a long breath.

Completed a challenge, but also to face a different challenge.

Life is one challenge after another!

Xu Wen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Then I turned on the computer and began to immerse myself in writing.

The aftermath of the Golden Magnolia Awards made the drama "The World" rush to the ranks of popular dramas on several TV stations once again.

The archeology of this drama by netizens is still going on.

I am digging the little easter eggs of this show all the time.

After a while, what details were revealed to prove Zhou Rong's so-and-so, and what props were pulled out who gave it to whom.

In short, around this drama, everyone still has a lot of topics to discuss.

When Xu Wen finished writing the script of "Knowledge", seeing this scene, he couldn't help expressing emotion.

Netizens have nothing to read?

Otherwise, why keep staring at a drama?
Xu Wen couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to figure it out.

Because with the completion of the script, he has to devote his mind to another drama.

One day, Xu Wen walked into Jiangsu-Zhejiang Taiwan.

Yu Guangguang got the news early in the morning and waited at the door with the deputy director Liu Mingda.

As soon as he saw Xu Wen, he immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"Oh, looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, our director Xu Da is finally here."

Liu Mingda approached kindly and held Xu Wen's hand.

Xu Wen couldn't laugh or cry.

"Vice President Liu, I'm just here to discuss TV dramas, there's no need to make it so grand."

"There's no need there. Director Xu, we've been waiting for a long time for your drama. Let's walk around. It's said inside."

Liu Mingda was as enthusiastic as seeing the patron's father, and directly pulled Xu Wen towards the meeting room.

Come to the conference room.

Liu Mingda enthusiastically introduced Xu Wen.

"These are colleagues from our TV drama film and television team. Some people have left and some have come. Director Xu, you may not know each other, but this drama of yours is connected with you by these colleagues. Come and talk to Director Xu. greet."

"Hi Director Xu, I'm your fan."

"Director Xu, I like watching "The World" very much."

"Hello Director Xu."

Liu Mingda brought a group of young people. Facing Xu Wen, they had the feeling of seeing their elders.

Everyone looked excited and greeted Xu Wen enthusiastically.

Xu Wen smiled, also responding to this group of young people.

After the courtesy, Xu Wen started today's topic.

That is the project announcement of "Do you know?"

"Maybe everyone has seen me talking about the new drama on other occasions, so I won't talk nonsense, let's tell the story first."

In the conference room, Xu Wen spent more than 30 minutes explaining the storyline of "Know it or not".

From the time Sheng Minglan lost her mother to being adopted by her grandmother, she grew into a slim girl under the guidance of her grandmother.

I got acquainted with the little father-in-law who was studying in his own library, and there were also noisy stories with several sisters.

After getting acquainted with Gu Tingye, marrying into the Gu family, and fighting openly and secretly with her mother-in-law, she gradually gained her reputation among the dignitaries in Beijing.

In the end, it became the story of a generation of Mrs. Hou.

The story is long and covers a woman's past.

From the perspective of women, it tells the story of the growth of women in that era.

When Xu Wen finished speaking, the people in the conference room looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xu Wen saw the faces of everyone and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, if you have any questions, you can speak freely. This is an exchange meeting, and now you can freely ask any questions."

After Xu Wen finished speaking, a boy sitting on the left raised his hand.

"Director Xu, I think this story is very good, but I don't understand one thing. It seems to be unfolded from the perspective of women, but it also weakens a lot of the love story with the male protagonist. The whole story revolves around the inner house. Fight, will this be"

Xu Wen smiled and nodded.

"Yes, there are many stories on the market that start from the perspective of women, and there are many portrayals of the love between the hero and heroine, but I have reduced the emphasis here."

"To put it bluntly, why must there be a domineering president or a heroic prime minister in a story unfolding from a female perspective? Wouldn't it be impossible without love?"

"On the contrary, I think that today's women's stories can start from many aspects. Women in that era can also use the family as a battlefield. Although they can't choose independently, there are still many ways to live."

In fact, Xu Wen didn't conceive his own play according to the original story of "Knowing or Not Knowing".

He shoots more according to the original novel.

In the original novel, Sheng Minglan married into the Gu family, and gradually developed an emotional bond with Gu Tingye through a series of stories.

Instead of having so many coincidences and plot developments like in TV dramas.

This is also in line with the ancient background.

Ancient women did not have so many opportunities to show their faces.

The concept of wanting to marry after falling in love was unworkable in that era.

More marriage first and love later.

In the original novel, Gu Tingye first fell in love with Sheng Minglan, and then Sheng Minglan fell in love with Gu Tingye.

And because Sheng Minglan is a time traveler, many modern ideas can actually help Sheng Minglan live a brilliant life in the ancient feudal society.

It's not like hanging up like in TV dramas.

Xu Wen's "Zhihu" is more of the original version of Sheng Minglan.

After Xu Wen explained the content and idea of ​​what he wanted to shoot, everyone in the conference room nodded.

After all, Xu Wencai is the talker of this TV series, and the others are more helpers.

This is also the order given to them by the TV station.

So after Xu Wen finished telling the story, everyone had no other questions.

Xu Wen said with a smile.

"Okay, now let's get to work, the first is the selection of the scene, which involves a lot of live set construction."

After talking about the content, Xu Wen didn't stay idle, and started to arrange the work on the spot.

The shooting of costume dramas is different from modern dramas.

Especially in female group portrait dramas like "Knowledge", there are countless costumes and hair accessories involved.

Therefore, the preparatory work in the early stage is even more complicated.

Basically, since Xu Wen walked into Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV station in the morning, the layout has been centered around the preparatory work in the early stage.

Xu Wencai came out of Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV Station when it was off-duty time.

But the next day, Xu Wen plunged into the stage again.

It took half a month to determine some basic issues.

Including clothing, makeup, venues, characters and so on.

During this period, Xu Wen also consulted an expert who specializes in ancient women's hair accessories.

Ask him about clothing for women of different ages and statuses.

Fortunately, when I was working on the program "National Treasure", I accumulated contacts.

Xu Wen can get acquainted with these bigwigs who deal with cultural relics.

With their answers to questions, Xu Wen saved a lot of effort.

The preparatory work is still in progress, but the major film and television companies have received a message from Xu Wen at the same time.

That is, Xu Wen's second TV series "Do You Know" has started casting work, and all major film and television companies are welcome to recommend actors.

Xu Wen did not directly finalize the actors like in "The World".

Actors are selected through wide-ranging auditions.

A big reason is that in this world, Xu Wen didn't find an artist who was similar to the original star of the TV series in his previous life.

In addition, Xu Wen actually made a big adaptation, so he doesn't want those fixed actors even more.

I would like to see the situation of performing face to face after the makeup on the board.

Xu Wen's selection notice has shocked many film and television companies.

After all, as a new hot director, Xu Wen won the Golden Magnolia Award for his first TV series.

Now that the second TV series is being prepared, many film and television companies want to get a share of the action.

So not long after Xu Wen's invitation was sent out, the work mailbox received a huge amount of actor information.

Many famous actors even called in person, hoping that Xu Wen would give him a chance.

In this regard, Xu Wen did not favor one over another, and uniformly arranged the audition time.

On the day of the audition, the scene was very lively with people coming and going.

Among them, many popular actresses can be seen.

In the first TV series, Xu Wen did not conduct large-scale auditions.

Now that large-scale auditions are being carried out, Xu Wencai has seen the excellence of actresses in this world.

Among them, several actors made Xu Wen very entangled.

Like Sheng Molan's character.

Xu Wen likes many actors, but only one role.

How to choose?

Xu Wen was caught in a tangle for a while.

However, Zhang Min next to him proposed a candidate after seeing the characters, which surprised Xu Wen and moved him very much.

After all, this candidate fits the role of Sheng Molan very well, both in reality and in image.

After figuring it out, Xu Wen quickly contacted the actor's company.
