Chapter 449 He Changed the Entertainment Industry

After discussion, Su Zhe, the place where Jianzhen successfully crossed the sea to the east, was determined as the recording location for the previous episodes of "National Glory".

There is also Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which is also an important recording location.

This also determines the era when people experienced military life - the Tang Dynasty.

After all, when it comes to friendship between China and Japan, the Tang Dynasty is the most suitable dynasty. There were relatively few exchanges before the Tang Dynasty, and the exchanges after that were relatively unfriendly.

As far as the domestic situation is concerned, although the Tang Dynasty reached its peak and then declined, and it is difficult to describe the middle and late Tang Dynasty in a few words, during its heyday, it reached the peak of the ancient empire.

For the Japanese, the Tang Dynasty is an important source and teacher of their culture. Even the most anti-China Japanese people admire the Tang Dynasty.

Even their description of the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty is more exaggerated than the maps in our textbooks.

——But this does not mean that they are friendly to us. On the contrary, they have always wanted to steal the culture of the Tang Dynasty and regard themselves as the inheritors of Tang culture.

The two rebellious sons of East Asia have respectively concocted the rhetoric of "the orthodox Tang Dynasty is in Japan" and "the orthodox Ming Dynasty is in Korea". They both want to take advantage of our low point in history to steal our glorious history and gild their own ancestors.

In any case, Japan admires the Tang Dynasty and has no objection to the recording location determined by Gong Huaichang.

Next, the competitive events were quickly determined.

They are basically based on the "friendly" principle, there is no tension, and it belongs to the category of game competition.

For example, in a wrestling match, it is not just two people wrestling together, that would become a sports competition and would be highly confrontational.

Instead, the two of them put on thick fat doll costumes, blindfolded themselves, and fell under the command of their teammates. This would definitely lead to many mistakes and jokes.

As for the sure-win competition arranged for Su Zhe, it is archery. This is his performance event and no one can challenge him.

Su Zhe had no objection to this and did not get involved deeply. He left it to Gong Huaichang to prepare and went back to film.

"Detective Lin Mo" (also known as the "Detective Chinatown" online drama) has already completed the casting and has begun filming.

Su Zhe looked at the cast list and found someone he knew - Li Wenshi.

She played the junior sister Yue Lingshan in "Swordsman" and had a good relationship with Su Zhe. The two of them, together with Liang Zhiruo and Cheng Lanyun, were inseparable in the crew.

But later on, there was no chance for us to work together, and people in the entertainment industry were all very busy and had no time to get together, so even the close relationship at the beginning gradually faded.

Moreover, as Zhang Hongwei's company was merged into Long Aotian, Su Zhe became Li Wenshi's boss. She felt that the relationship was a little awkward and they contacted each other less often.

This time, she played Ivy in "Detective Lin Mo" and didn't even tell Su Zhe, which made Su Zhe feel a little uncomfortable:

"My junior sister is actually on the set. I have to go visit her."

He quickly found time to go to the crew in Thailand and was immediately surrounded by the actors.

Su Zhe chatted for a few words and then called Li Wenshi:
"Junior sister, are you free next week? Let's go to Uncle Liang's house to see the little Ruo Ruo they adopted. Sister Cheng will also go."

At that time, he, Li Wenshi and Cheng Lanyun went to Liang Zhiruo's house together to attend her memorial service.

Now that Liang's parents have adopted Ruo Ruo, it's a good opportunity for us to go and see him together.

Although they didn't know that Ruo Ruo was Liang Zhiruo's reincarnation, it was still an explanation.

Li Wenshi chuckled and said:

"Big Brother, whether I am free next week depends entirely on you, doesn't it?"

Su Zhe shook his head and laughed:

"Okay, I'll ask the crew to give you a holiday."

"By the way, does Ruo Ruo really look like Senior Sister Liang?"

The two chatted as if they had returned to the old times.

The other actors looked on enviously.

The cast of "Detective Lin Mo" is relatively diverse. Long Aotian has found some actors from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, hoping to attract more audiences through this spin-off series.

Therefore, compared to the dramas that Long Aotian and Mary Sue collaborated on, this crew is more difficult to manage, and there are also many common phenomena such as quarrels over camera shots, and crew couples.

Even Li Wenshi, as a direct descendant, felt it.

There were actually male actors and assistant directors who tried to seduce her, not only with their personal charm, but they also wanted to use their resources and so-called background to suppress her.

Or the so-called celebrities, who are very arrogant, never look her in the eye, and even have to rely on assistants to convey their words.

Moreover, this drama does not have a genuine female protagonist. Lin Mo, like Qin Feng and Tang Ren, is a single man, and the girls he knows are either victims, witnesses, or even murderers.

For example, Ivy is the murderer, but she is the most charming murderer. She is a member of the Smiley Group and Q. She is so charming that she can barely be considered the heroine.

But the other actresses were not convinced, so they came up with their own ideas, competed with each other, fought for lines and shots, and some even tried to change the script to move her highlight-the-scenes role to their own.

——It is very common in the entertainment industry. Some actors don’t care about the final effect and ratings of the TV series. They just want all the "fan-attracting" plots to be about themselves.

As long as she is popular, what does the success or failure of the TV series have to do with her?
But it is obvious that the actors who dared to do this were repeat offenders, but they ran into a wall in the crew of screenwriter Su Zhe.

Su Zhe was not alarmed at all. The crew directly fired the actor who caused trouble and replaced him with someone else.

It’s hard to find three-legged frogs in the entertainment industry, but aren’t two-legged actors everywhere?

Although the problem was resolved, these conflicts made Li Wenshi feel exhausted.

As a student who has not yet graduated, she has not filmed many dramas. As soon as she entered the industry, she experienced the atmosphere of "Swordsman". Top stars such as Su Zhe and Cheng Lanyun were very kind to her and never put on airs.

As for other TV series and movies that Long Aotian and Mary Sue have collaborated on, there aren't so many messy things. Everyone is focused on filming and thinking only about how to play their roles better. They don't have to worry about harming others, nor do they have to be wary of being harmed.

In fact, are all the people in those crews really so pure?
Not necessarily, but under the pressure of the great god Su Zhe, no one dares to do anything naughty and can only film the movie honestly, and the atmosphere is much better.

Unlike now, where has she really experienced such a complicated crew? She always feels that she only puts 5% of her energy into acting, and Ivy didn't act well.

However, after Su Zhe chatted with her for a while, the way everyone in the crew looked at her changed instantly:
"She has such a good relationship with President Su?"

"She never mentioned it, and I thought it was just a simple collaboration."

"I didn't expect that we are still good friends. Isn't Li Wenshi too low-key?"

After Su Zhe left, Li Wenshi discovered that the number of smiles she received suddenly exceeded all the times she had received since joining the group.

The man who had teased her in disgusting ways suddenly came over and said flattering words, which made her even more disgusted.

The "big star" who was so arrogant didn't need his assistant to pass on the message, but came over in person to chat with her.

When this "big star" humbled himself, Li Wenshi discovered that the other party had high emotional intelligence, was good at talking, and made people feel warm and at ease.

The magical experience after Su Zhe left made Li Wenshi smile bitterly, thinking of the conversation with her classmates. The classmates envied her for entering the entertainment industry and shooting blockbusters, and asked her how she felt.

She answered innocently at the time:

"It felt just like rehearsing in school, except the actors I was acting with were better actors and more famous."

When her childhood friend gossiped about the entertainment industry, she responded righteously:
"How can it be so chaotic? It's all exaggeration by the self-media. In fact, everyone is very good. Acting is just work."

Now, she suddenly recalled the surprised looks and disbelieving expressions on her classmates and childhood friends' faces when they heard what she said.

"It turns out that this is not the original appearance of the entertainment industry. It is only like this around Senior Brother."

She lay on the bed in the hotel, thinking back to the man who always had a faint and confident smile:
"This is the change he brought to the entertainment industry."

Can one person change the overall environment?
Li Wenshi didn't believe it before, but now she is absolutely convinced:

"Master Brother can do it!"

It's not only about the environment of the crew, but also the quality of the work, the status of the screenwriter, the formalization of the crew, and even the overseas release of the work.

Li Wenshi is still a student and has only one foot in the circle, which makes Su Zhe's influence more evident.

"Master brother is really amazing!"

She rolled over on the bed, screaming like a silly groundhog, and suddenly sighed.

She didn't know why, but she felt a little regretful:

"Hey, Senior Brother is really excellent..."

……

On the other hand, after visiting the set, Su Zhe joined the crew and started filming "The Garland under the Mountain".

Since the military district has complete information, props, tactics, and even actual combat examples, it is easy to obtain them as long as the military district supports it.

Therefore, the crew prepared very quickly, unlike "My Love from the Star", where the historical props had to be carefully crafted with every detail.

Although the crew prepared quickly, they encountered a lot of trouble when they actually started filming.

The most troublesome thing is the content of the war scenes.

Su Zhe has filmed many dramas, among which idol dramas are the easiest to shoot. He kisses and hugs the heroine, and it is easy and enjoyable to shoot.

Reality-themed dramas require high acting skills, but are not difficult to shoot and there are basically no action scenes.

The most difficult ones are martial arts dramas. The action scenes are really difficult to shoot. Whether it is the actors' martial arts scenes or the director's scheduling of the scenes, they are all full of challenges.

But now, he has to say - war scenes are the most difficult to shoot!
In war scenes, there are a lot of explosion scenes, so you have to bury the explosion points in advance and plan your movement routes to avoid being blown up.

Su Zhe was acting while moving around, watching the explosive points explode around him. He also had to perform actions such as throwing himself down, and his body was covered in dust.

Sometimes, for the sake of authenticity, he had to get closer to the explosion point, even though the explosion team guaranteed that there would be absolutely no danger, and even according to the crew's requirements, the explosion team had to run ahead of the actors.

——This is also the requirement for all stunt teams. The intimidation team must also use intimidation themselves first and use their own lives to ensure that they will not take it lightly.

But the world is always full of surprises.

Even if there are guarantees, there are still cases where people are killed by falling during hanging scenes, and there are also cases where people are burned and disfigured during explosion scenes.

Su Zhe took a look at the system's life-saving [Resurrection Talisman] before he boldly stepped forward.

Fortunately, no accident happened, so he saved himself the trouble.

In addition to the security challenges, war scenes also require very high scheduling requirements for the crew.

From the leading actors to the extras, from the cameramen to the production staff, no one can have any problems. Only a mature crew can achieve this.

Therefore, the crew of "The Garland" has been shooting for a long time, just to make the war scenes grand and shocking.

Su Zhe prepared an investment of 10 billion for this play, not including his own salary, while the salaries of other actors were not high.

He just wanted to spend all his money on war scenes and create shocking images.

This is the logic of commercial blockbusters, which must satisfy the audience with visual images so that they have to go to the cinema and watch the shocking war scenes on the big screen.

In fact, the 10 billion investment is slightly lower than that of the previous film "Changjin Lake", but he feels that there are too many war scenes in "Changjin Lake" and he is a little aesthetically fatigued.

There are few literary scenes, and some contents that could be portrayed in depth, such as the people at the railway station delivering supplies (scarves), the people of the Southern Dynasty, and the ice sculpture company, are only mentioned briefly.

This greatly reduces the appeal of the drama, because the original prototype is so touching that even if the movie only shows 10% of it, it will bring tears to the audience's eyes.

In Su Zhe's opinion, this situation occurs mainly because directors are greedy and put too many touching stories into the movie, resulting in the inability to tell each story thoroughly.

At the same time, there are also too many war scenes, which squeeze out the length of the literary drama.

However, the original film of "The Garland" had too few war scenes, which were almost only used to advance the plot, and there were not many war scenes at all.

This is easy to understand. There was no concept of commercial films at that time, and war scenes were shot to be realistic, not to shock the audience.

But when Su Zhe filmed "The Garland", he must make up for this shortcoming, balance the literary and martial arts scenes, and make "The Garland" more commercial.

So in addition to the big scenes, we also have to shoot some exciting battle scenes, such as the battle of the communication tower in "Changjin Lake".

Although this small-scale battle is far away from the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, it was filmed very well.

After all, when audiences come to watch a movie and put themselves in the shoes of the protagonist, they always want to see close-ups of him displaying his might, not just the big scenes.

Therefore, in "The Wreath", there must be battle scenes where Zhao Mengsheng displays his prowess, in order to show that after education and tempering, he has become a staunch revolutionary fighter, in sharp contrast to the young master of the second generation of the Red Army at the beginning of the film.

Otherwise, Zhao Mengsheng would be not likable at all, and might not even be as good as Wanli, played by the prince.

To this end, Su Zhe specifically went to the military district and reviewed the combat records of the heroes who fought there, wanting to design a military achievement for Zhao Mengsheng.

But after watching the performance of those combat heroes, he was just dumbfounded:
"If these deeds were filmed in a movie, the audience would think it was fabricated, right?"

He scratched his head and felt that even if he had a system, he could not compare to the fighting heroes.

It's really too exaggerated, even movies don't dare to shoot like this.

He could only restrain himself. After all, Zhao Mengsheng was not a combat hero. All he had to do was show his bravery and fighting ability.

Let him become a qualified fighter and complete the character arc of the literary drama in the martial arts scenes. This way, there are both the grand scenes of commercial films and the thinking of art films.

"I wonder what ratings and box office my revised version of 'The Garland' will get?"
