A Guide to Growth After Rebirth

Chapter 54 Serious Zhong Tao

The famous director Zhong Tao officially held a press conference, announcing that next year he will start filming his new film "The Legend of the Moon in the Harem".

Zhong Tao is a director who is very popular with the audience. He used to shoot very down-to-earth family dramas. This time he suddenly changed to court dramas, which was unexpected.

Five years ago, Zhong Tao divorced his ex-wife and married his current wife, and has been in a semi-retired state since then. It is said that the screenwriter of this new film is Mrs. Zhong. She likes literary works very much and has tried to write some stories.

Perhaps in order to please his new wife, Zhong Tao chose a subject he was not familiar with, and even used his past contacts to get sponsorship, but there are still many difficulties to overcome in order to film this drama.For example, for the script, Zhong Tao has always been a serious director. He carefully researched various books and discussed the script with senior historical drama screenwriters. It took him more than a year to polish the script.

Zhong Tao pursed his lips, waiting for the reporters to ask questions. The young woman sitting next to him was his little wife Zhou Jie. Her personality was much more lively than Zhong Tao's.

"Excuse me, Director Zhong, are you doing this transformation to curry favor with Mrs. Zhong?"

"Director Zhong, court dramas are very different from the types of dramas you have filmed in the past. Are you sure you can handle them?"

"Director Zhong, I heard that the heroine of "The Legend of the Moon in the Harem" is Zhang Meimei. She just won the Best Actress award. How much is her salary?"

"Director Zhong, it is rumored that the male protagonist of "The Legend of the Moon in the Harem" has hired a newcomer. Is it because of financial constraints?"

"Director Zhong, it is rumored that the up-and-coming actress Ning Xuan also played an important role in the play, can you reveal it?"

……

Although Zhong Tao didn't like journalists, he was quite comfortable with such trivial matters as sending them away.

After the press conference, he contacted several leading actors one by one, asking them to prepare well, read the script more, and try to figure out the characters more. look.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Xuan knew that she had to start studying.

"The Legend of Moonlight in the Harem" will become a classic, which has nothing to do with the seriousness and rigor of director Zhong Tao.

I remember that in his previous life, he specially invited various masters and spent three months training the protagonists' words and deeds.When it is officially broadcast, whether it is the lines, costume styling, set design, or the superb performance of the actors, the audience and drama critics are beyond reproach.I heard that because Zhong Tao kept delaying the shooting time, several investors withdrew their funds temporarily. In the case of a shortage of funds, Zhong Tao put his savings into it, and even mortgaged his house and car. He also relied on his relationship to attract sponsorship. Fortunately, the TV series could be broadcast in time, and the ratings were extremely high, and it was successfully sold in overseas markets.Zhong Tao made a lot of money, because of Zhang Meimei's generosity, he also used his contacts to match Zhang Meimei and his wife.

"No way, Director Zhong is so strict this time?" Zou Yuan looked surprised.

Ning Xuan nodded, feeling quite emotional: "That's right, this is Director Zhong's first transformation, he can only win, not lose!"

"You are just a supporting role in the play, so it's not worth the effort." Zou Yuan persuaded Ning Xuan from his own point of view.

"Even if it's just a supporting role, it depends on whose movie it is. Instead of making a lot of bad movies, it's better to settle down and make a few high-quality movies."

Before Ning Xuan participated in director Li Ping's "Red Pink" audition and failed, I still remember that director Li Ping said to her at that time: "Although this audition did not succeed, I am still very optimistic about you. After becoming popular overnight, you can still maintain a peaceful mind. There are not many young people in China, and the ups and downs in the entertainment industry are normal, the key is to maintain a good attitude."

Ning Xuan thinks it is, but time waits for no one, and every choice is very important.
