Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 641 "Heroes" Starts Filming

The Three Musketeers of Beijing University came back from Xiangjiang, and Lin Yanan flew to Xiangjiang again.

Not long after that, the crew preparations for "Heroes" entered a substantive stage.

It is not an easy task for Guandong Film and Television to cooperate with TVB to create the epic masterpiece "Heroes". In the past few years, some Xiangjiang films have been filmed in the mainland, but there is still no cooperation in TV dramas.

In order to ensure the filming of TV dramas and to diversify investment risks, Guandong Film and Television also joined the National TV Station and Liao Province TV Station.

We are all old friends who have been cooperating with each other for many years, supporting each other.What's more, "Heroes" is not only popular in Xiangjiang, but also in the mainland. Since the first publication, the sales volume of "Heroes" has been high for several years. The total sales volume of the thirteen volumes has exceeded 3400 million copies. Become a gold-absorbing weapon for Universal Publishing House.

National TV and Liao TV were also very interested in this project, and soon agreed to cooperate.

With the presence of the two big brothers, the National TV Station and the Liao Provincial TV Station, TVB's shooting in the mainland went very smoothly.

However, according to the prior agreement, the main actors and the behind-the-scenes production team of this TV series will follow the [-]-[-] model of Xiangjiang and the Mainland, which is a bit ridiculous to a certain extent.

In the end, the two parties had to agree on the list of roles and production crews they wanted, and they would not violate each other.

He Ping did not intervene too much in this matter, but asked the crew for the role of Wu Dingyuan, one of the leading actors.

He was going to leave this role to Lao Mao. He had troubled him a lot in commercials before, but this time he reciprocated and gave him a male lead in a co-produced large-scale martial arts TV series.

After Guandong Film and Television attracted National TV Station and Liao Province TV Station to participate, the shooting scale and attention level of "Heroes" were directly raised by two levels. After all, National TV Station is a national-level media, so it still has some face.

TVB did not expect that such problems would arise in the preparation of "Aspirations of Heroes", and they had to strengthen the emphasis on "Aspirations of Heroes".

Seeing that it was November, several TV stations felt that they could not go on like this, so after negotiation between several parties, they decided to start filming at the end of November.

The filming of the first part of "Heroes" was all over the northern region, and it was stuck at this time point, and everyone in the crew complained, and even the cast and crew of Xiangjiang once pretended to be sick and quit the crew.

Zhu Shimao was a little enlightened when he received the invitation from the national TV station.

In this time and space, perhaps influenced by He Ping, Zhu Shimao did not form a group with Chen Peisi to perform sketches in the Spring Festival Gala, and still focused on his film career.

He has just finished acting in the movie "Spring Peach" directed by Ling Zifeng. The male and female protagonists of this movie are Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing, but now they have become Zhu Shimao and Liu Xiaoqing.

Suddenly receiving an invitation from the national TV station, Zhu Shimao was both happy and worried.

The joy is that this time it is a large-scale costume martial arts drama co-produced by National Television and Xiangjiang TVB, and the role given to him is still one of the leading actors. He really did not expect such a big pie to fall on his head.

In this era, the boundaries between the domestic movie circle and the TV drama circle are still very blurred, and even many film practitioners will take the initiative to jump to the TV circle. The reason is very simple, making TV dramas makes more money than making movies.

What's more, this time it was co-produced by the national TV station and Xiangjiang TVB TV station. The capital investment alone is tens of millions of yuan, which is a proper big production.

What worried him was that he had just finished working with Liu Xiaoqing.In 83, Liu Xiaoqing worked with Xiangjiang's film production team on "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain".

When the two were filming, Liu Xiaoqing often told him about the difficulties of Xiangjiang people. The biggest challenge she encountered in the crew was the discrimination against mainland workers by Xiangjiang people. Liu Xiaoqing once had a big fight with the crew because of this. .

Zhu Shimao was curious why such a big pie fell on his head, and asked the national TV station, it turned out that it was recommended by Kanto Film and Television.

It's Teacher He's credit for being daring, but he didn't even make a phone call. Teacher He must not want to burden him.

But Teacher He didn't say anything, he couldn't pretend he didn't know!
Zhu Shimao called He Ping, "Oh! Teacher He, you said you gave me such a big cake so suddenly, I almost didn't dare to answer it."

He Ping said with a smile on the phone: "How do you say that, you don't want to take advantage of such a good opportunity?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp it. This time I really appreciate your kindness."

"We're all old friends, so why are you being so polite. Have you forgotten the time when I begged you to shoot commercials?"

"Hehe, I can't forget it. I still remember the deer antler you gave me!"

"So, don't be so cynical. The filming of "Heroes" is a big production. The whole novel is close to 300 million words. The TV station has planned five plots, and your character is one of the male protagonists. If this TV series broadcasts If the effect is satisfactory after it comes out, it will be enough for you to act for several years."

"Then I really have to thank you. Now it is said that acting in TV dramas makes money, which makes my heart move. I didn't have the chance before, but this time I borrowed your light, and I will also act in a TV drama. Not only did I act, but I also acted in a TV series Big one, haha!"

"You, a well-known movie star all over the country, can come to act in a TV series. It's for face, but it's not an excuse. But if you really want to act in a TV series, you can contact Lin Yanan. Guandong Film and Television will shoot a lot of TV series in the past two years. You can do whatever you want. pick."

"Yes, I would like to thank Mr. He first."

At the end of the call with Zhu Shimao, He Ping also had a general understanding of the current preparation progress of "Aspirations of Heroes". Casting is the last work in the early stage of the film and television project, which means that the shooting of "Aspirations of Heroes" is really about to start.

The TV series "Heroes" gathered four powerful investors from Xiangjiang TVB TV Station, National TV Station, Liao Province TV Station and Kanto Film and Television Production Company. The investment scale reached 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, creating a new history of domestic TV series shooting.

At the same time, this TV series is also the largest project since the opening of Kanto Film and Television Production Company. To a certain extent, failure is not allowed.

Lin Yanan, the person in charge of Guandong Film and Television Production Company, flew to Xiangjiang last month to coordinate with TVB on preparatory matters.

Although the film and television production company is only a small industry under He Ping's banner, it is related to the future industrial ecological layout.The film and television production company had some experience in the production of TV dramas like "East Love" before, but those were all small scenes. TV dramas like "Heroes" are the time to see the real kung fu.

He Ping hopes that this TV series with huge investment and magnificent scenes can be filmed smoothly and achieve extraordinary broadcast effects, laying a good foundation for his layout of the entertainment industry in the future.

On December 12st, Lin Yanan, who was far away in the northwest, called, and the filming of "Heroes" officially started.
