Chapter 203 The Smiley Tiger

Since the separation of production and broadcasting in the 90s, TV stations no longer produce TV series, but instead outsource them.

The system of separation of production and broadcasting has advantages and disadvantages. It promotes the industrialization process of TV series, but it also brings new problems.

For a hit drama, CCTV often gets the first broadcast rights, and several powerful satellite TV stations get the second-round broadcast rights, while others can only get the third, fourth or even fifth rounds.

There are only those dramas on the market that can make a steady profit every year. Satellite TV stations with weak funds dare not take risks and can only follow the big brother's footsteps.

As a result, it often happens that the same drama is broadcast across the country, and the price of a good drama is raised to a point that ordinary TV stations cannot afford.

CCTV doesn't care about its wealth and wealth, but it has made the brothers below suffer so much that they are hungry and have enough to eat.

After a long time, the brothers naturally felt unhappy. Who didn't want to drink verbal soup? It was nothing to pick up the leftovers from other people's games.

So in recent years, TV stations with ideas and capabilities have begun to try to invest in self-made dramas and customized dramas.

Southern Television was established in 2001 and launched in 04. It is the first global Cantonese satellite channel in mainland China.

He has worked on many classic Cantonese dramas, such as The Strange Son-in-law, 72 Tenants, etc.

Strictly speaking, "Bright Sword" is the first TV series produced by Southern TV Station.

As early as 2001, Southern Television purchased the rights to adapt the novel Liangjian into a TV series.

However, at that time, Southern Channel did not have an advantage in terms of market share, brand influence, program funding, and operational experience.

We had no choice but to use the adaptation rights as investment and hand over the investment, production and filming to Hairun Company.

That year, Southern Taiwan was unable to enjoy the fruits of its victory. It was filled with regrets, but it also realized the importance of controlling the source.

Subsequently, adjustments were made quickly, from simply purchasing finished films to early stage involvement, and joining some TV series productions through investment and purchasing.

The two parties have a clear division of labor. Southern Channel is responsible for post-production promotion, while production is handed over to private production companies.

The choice of lurking is also based on Southern Television's grasp of the trend of TV drama market themes and research on market demand, as well as the long-term trust and tacit understanding cultivated with Dongyang Qingyu.

In real life, there is a type of people who are good at hiding behind the crowd.

If you want to achieve a certain wish, you will probably not come forward in person. Instead, you will induce or encourage people who have the same appeal and let the other party stand up for you to achieve your goal.

To put it bluntly, it means using others as a weapon.

This is the case for Yu Zecheng. He cannot expose himself easily in a latent state, so the whole drama relies almost entirely on borrowing power.

Ma Kui of the Military Command hated the organization personnel so much that it seemed to endanger his life.

In order to get rid of the opponent, he laid out layers of plans, first borrowing Zuo Lan's power to confuse Ma Kui's identity, frame him, and create the illusion that the opponent was collaborating with the enemy.

Then he hid behind Lu Qiaoshan, secretly prodding him to take action, and holding Ma Kui's hand.

The matter is not over yet. If you want to kill Ma Kui, you must win over the top leader, Station Master Wu, to your camp.

He found the right moment and inadvertently revealed the news to Webmaster Wu that Ma Kui had peeked at his secret documents while he was away, and also revealed in disguise that Ma Kui was investigating the Webmaster's corruption behind the scenes.

At this point, Ma Kui's end has been decided, and Yu Zecheng's plan is perfect to close the palace. It can be said that the matter is over, and he has hidden his identity and reputation.

Due to limited funds, the latent filming scenes were quite rough. The military commander's office looked a bit eerie, with the doors open to allow light to pass through.

This was an indoor drama. A picture frame of the chairman hung on the wall near the desk, with blue sky and white sun flags on both sides. Yu Zecheng and stationmaster Wu stood face to face.

Feng Enhe put his hands behind his back and asked doubtfully: "Director Dai also knows about this Zuo Lan?"

Lu Yuan didn't look sideways and explained: "Yes, when Director Dai talked to me last time, he asked me if I could do her job and serve the military commander. I said it would be difficult. She is a die-hard and is originally a planner. I left Tianjing because I was not qualified."

"You have found a good backer. Director Dai has gone to the west. Now I can neither believe nor doubt." Feng Enhe turned to look at the photo frame on the wall and said meaningfully.

Lu Yuan reacted immediately, straightened his back, and vowed: "I can assure you that these sentences are true. I swear to Director Dai's soul in heaven."

If you say it, you haven't said it. What's the use of swearing when the person is dead. This guy is too cunning. Feng Enhe turned around and glared at him fiercely, and asked again: "Why are you saying it now?"

Lu Yuan pulled down the corner of his mouth, swallowed, and said nervously: "I don't know what happened these days. When I saw Zuo Lan coming over, I was a little flustered. I always feel uneasy if I don't tell you the truth, and you are so disrespectful to me. So trusting.”

Feng Enhe smiled, walked up to him slowly, stared into his eyes, and said solemnly: "Yes, I trust you so much, but you don't seem to trust me very much." The pressure came to his face, Lu Yuan licked He lowered his lips and looked a little panicked: "No, no, webmaster, I'm really scared."

Just staring at him like this for a while, Feng Enhe's frowning eyebrows relaxed: "Besides this Zuo Lan, do you have anything else to say?"

Lu Yuan looked embarrassed and hesitated: "Also, and another thing is, when you returned to Chongqing to attend the funeral for Director Dai, I passed by your office one night and saw that the lights were still on. I thought you were back. I Just came in.”

"I saw Captain Maguire opening your drawer and looking through some documents."

"."

"Okay, let's go."

After finishing filming, Lu Yuan walked to the monitor to watch the playback. There was something wrong with this scene.

Just as he was holding his chin and thinking about it, Cao Bingkun ran over and said, "You are so good at playing Coco. How did you learn it in school?"

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at him and joked: "I said, could you please stop stammering all the time."

Cao Bingkun rubbed the back of his head and smiled: "I'm used to it."

In the play, he plays the role of information dealer Xie Ruolin, who talks with a tilted head and a stammer.

There is also a more classic line, the same two gold bars, you tell me which one is noble and which one is dirty.

This guy went to work at Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in his second year of high school because he had seen Leslie Cheung's Man-Han Banquet in his early years.

Because he was born in a literary family, he had a talent for acting since he was a child. When he was not busy at work, he worked as extras with his friends to earn some extra money.

Later, I realized that working was a dead end, so I took the Nortel College Entrance Exam and changed my career to become an actor.

Because of his poor image and lack of eloquence, no one has ever asked him to act. Graduation means unemployment.

The teacher in the junior college class was a neighbor of Jiang Wei. He heard that he was looking for an actor and recommended him.

In fact, in the original script, Xie Ruolin spoke quite fluently.

Just because Cao Bingkun was too nervous in his first scene, he stuttered a bit when reading his lines.

Jiang Wei thought the effect was unexpectedly good, so he simply let him continue acting in a stuttering state.

As a result, this guy has never spoken fluently since the filming started.

"Where's Boss Zu?"

"There is no drama for him today. I am pondering the script in the hotel. His girlfriend is here."

After chatting for a few more words, Lu Yuan couldn't stand him anymore and patted his forehead: "Please find someone else to torture you. If you can't, go to Wu Gang."

Wu Gang is a drama actor. He looks serious on the outside, but he is a funny person in private.

Jiang Wei was also staring at the replay, watching it back and forth several times. He turned his head and asked the people standing behind him, "What do you think?"

Lu Yuan frowned and said nothing. Feng Enhe, who was squatting aside, stood up, rubbed his knees and said, "Director, let's reshoot this."

He understood that there was a problem with his handling of the scene just now.

Webmaster Wu is a smiling figure, like an old fox, calm and composed.

He has played a decent character all his life, and if he insists on acting in the manner of the Smiling Tiger, he will definitely appear fake.

When creating characters, he did not simply and crudely label them as bad guys, but simply interpreted how cruel and inhuman the characters were.

On the contrary, he believed that Wu Jingzhong also had faith when he was young, but it was only later that he lost his faith due to internal strife and corruption within the party, and he slowly turned into an official veteran, indifferent to joy and anger, and greedy for power and money.

The characteristic of this type of people is that they are very transparent in dealing with people and human affairs, and they will not expose their thoughts easily.

In the scene just now, when he turned around and looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes were too fierce. He didn't handle his emotions well enough and needed to be restrained.

PS: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone. After eating the moon cakes, the update will resume as normal tomorrow~
