My singer girlfriend is super fierce

In fact, Ye Zhiqiu had to start working at this time.

For him now, it is very rare to be able to rest for four or five days during the Chinese New Year.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar year, Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei came out of their homes and visited Mr. Yu at the old house of the Yu family in Su Province. They stayed for most of the day and returned directly to Huahai that night.

The next day after returning to Huahai City, Ye Zhiqiu started working.

First of all, there are several film and television projects that are being launched. In fact, during Ye Zhiqiu's vacation, the crew's work has been going on intensively, but as a core figure, Ye Zhiqiu still needs to participate in some situations.

In terms of movies, "The Return of the Great Sage" has officially entered the production stage. With the assistance of two senior industry predecessors, Yang Jie and Li Haicheng, who were once in the crew of "Journey to the West", and the funds in place, the overall progress is very gratifying.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Shiguang sent a half-finished clip. Although he said that he wanted Ye Zhiqiu to "give some advice", Ye Zhiqiu felt that this middle-aged man in his thirties was showing off.

But to be honest, he was indeed excited by the fighting scene, and even felt that the overall production level was a few points better than in his previous life.

In fact, this is normal. Starting from "That Rabbit", the "Autumn of Light" studio has accumulated several popular works, and has undergone several expansions and absorbed outstanding talents in the industry. Now it is the "number one" in domestic animation studios, and its overall level is ranked among the top in the world.

Especially after participating in the "Tokyo Anime Award", the studio's horizons have been opened, and it has shifted its competitive focus from the domestic to the world, and naturally strives for excellence in the quality of its own works.

In terms of TV series, there are two projects, "In the Name of the People" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

The progress of the drama "In the Name of People" is also quite smooth. Director Kuang Pingzhou, who was invited to come out again after a few years of silence, has burst out with great enthusiasm for work. It is said that he took a three-day break during the Chinese New Year and then devoted himself to the work of the crew.

The selection of actors for this drama was not troublesome. The main reason was that the requirements of "old drama bones" were there, so a large number of them were screened out, and there were not many choices.

As for the actors who received the role invitation, after reading the script, none of them refused...

On the contrary, the selection of actors for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was not so smooth, or it was stuck on the most important role of "Yang Guo".

......

Huahai Entertainment Building, conference room.

The day after Ye Zhiqiu returned, the company held another meeting on the preparation of the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

In the conference room, Li Wenrui, general manager of Huahai Entertainment, Lu Ping, head of the film and television department, Zhang Kaicheng, director of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and several important leading actors of the crew were all present.

In fact, Huahai Entertainment attaches more importance to the drama "The Return of the Condor Heroes" than "In the Name of People".

After all, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has just ended, and the average ratings of 3.5% are amazing. Everyone has read the script of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and naturally knows that there is a huge audience base. As long as the production level can be maintained, the probability of this drama failing is very small.

"That's probably the situation." The director spread his hands and said, "For the role of Yang Guo, the first requirement for the actor is to be handsome!"

"But there are many kinds of handsomeness. Yang Guo's handsomeness is described in the book as 'thin and handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and majestic eyes'. In short, he is handsome and heroic, so just looking good is not enough."

"We have also searched for several rounds. There are not many male actors who meet this standard. Either their style is soft, or their acting skills are not good enough, or they can't do martial arts moves. They are always a little bit short."

At this time, Lu Ping pondered for a while and asked, "What about Li Xiao? He played Li Xiaoyao in the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series. His acting skills are still good, and his martial arts scenes are also acceptable."

Aside, the deputy director of the crew said, "We let Li Xiao audition. He is very willing to act in the role, and all the conditions are good, but... he is not so handsome."

"..." Everyone was silent, and they all felt a little headache.

"How about expanding the scope and looking for someone..." someone suggested.

"If you ask me, don't bother with that." Zhang Kaicheng said, "Don't we have the most suitable candidate in our own company?"

After the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Ye Zhiqiu.

"Zhiqiu." Lu Ping said, "Zhiqiu, how about... you work harder?"

"Look, we really can't find anyone."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Lu, Director Zhang, it's not that I don't want to act, they are all my own works, I can't not act.But I really can't be busy at both ends."

"To be honest, the role in "In the Name of People" is more challenging. I am more interested in that one. The start time of both is about the same. Will that one overlap with my other work?"

"No, no!" Zhang Kaicheng said immediately, "I have talked to Director Kuang, there will be no conflict!"

"Most of the scenes in "In the Name of People" are relatively concentrated. If the shooting speed is improved, it can be very fast. Director Kuang estimates that it can be completed in three to four months."

"Although the role of "Hou Liangping" is the male lead, strictly speaking, he does not have many scenes. If the arrangement is good and the shooting is concentrated, it can be completed in about a month. It just so happens that we are shooting the scenes of Yang Guo's youth in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" before, so you don't need to be there."

Zhang Kaicheng laughed and said, "I have discussed it with Director Kuang, and he has no objection. It's absolutely no problem! ”

In fact, if it is normal, it would be a lie to say that Kuang Pingzhou has no objection at all.

No director would like the leading actor's filming schedule to be so "tight", which is equivalent to the crew having to accommodate one person to some extent, which may disrupt the director's shooting rhythm and doubt the actor's own state.

But Ye Zhiqiu is different. As the screenwriter of the whole play, he wrote the story. No one is more familiar with the plot and the characters than him, so this problem does not exist.

More importantly, Ye Zhiqiu is one of the investors. To put it bluntly, if Ye Zhiqiu hadn't taken the initiative to invite him, Kuang Pingzhou would not have directed this drama. What can I say if I have the opportunity to act in a drama?

In fact, in many crews, big-name actors have some "privileges", which is also a customary rule in the industry.

It is not uncommon for some popular actors with deep backgrounds to not only act in multiple dramas, but also act in several dramas at the same time. Otherwise, how can they "shoot more than a dozen dramas a year"?

When encountering these actors, the director still has to endure and greet them with a smile. After all, if they really break up, it will not be others who leave, but only themselves.

With Ye Zhiqiu's current status, it is not a big deal if he just asks the crew to slightly adjust the shooting arrangements, so Kuang Pingzhou naturally has nothing to say.
