Chapter 124 Shooting "Fengyun"!
On April 2002, 4, less than a week after Cao Qing was drawn out of the system space, Tenda Film and Television Entertainment directly announced the company's film and television drama shooting plans for the second half of the year on the newly established Tenda Film and Television Entertainment website.

Among them, there are two movies alone, and the number of TV dramas is as many as five. For this reason, Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company has been the director of the three top art academies of China Opera, Beijing Film and Shanghai Opera a few days ago. The department recruited eight new directors in one fell swoop.

Among the eight rookie directors, the one Cao Qing liked the most was the rookie director Ning Hao who had just been admitted to the Department of Photography of Beijing Normal University from the Art Department.

Although he did not study directing at Beijing Film and Television, as early as last year, that is, in 2001, this guy spent 8000 yuan at his own expense to shoot a graduation season work called "Thursday, Wednesday".

And even though this kid was filming for the first time, he was full of spirituality and won the best director award in the [-]th Beijing College Student Film Festival video competition directly with this work.

It is precisely because of this that even though Ning Hao was recruited by Cao Qing to Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company just after his freshman year and he was not a director, he was not recruited to Tengda Film and Television Entertainment by the other seven at the same time. Even because of his relatively gregarious personality, the relationship between him and the other seven new directors is still decent.

With the addition of these eight new directors, including Ning Hao, and the fact that Tengda Film and Television Entertainment already has several directors of the older generation who are not well-known but extremely experienced, in the second half of the year, Tengda The film and television shooting plans of film and television entertainment companies are quite rich.

Among the two movies and five TV series announced on Tengda Film and Television Entertainment website, the three TV dramas "Detective Chinatown", "People on the Journey", and "The Wind and Cloud" are the most anticipated by the audience.

After all, the movie "Detective Chinatown" in these three film and television dramas was shot by Cao Qing himself, with a claimed investment of more than [-] million. Although the other movie "People on the Road" was not directly directed by Cao Qing, he But he is also the producer of this film, and this film follows the comedy line he started his career as a producer.

Therefore, as soon as these two films were released on the official website of Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company, they directly attracted the attention of countless Cao Qing fans.

As for the other TV series "Fengyun", the reason why it is far more popular than the other four TV series is that the IP of Fengyun has already produced a movie with a pretty good box office in Hong Kong Island before.

After that, quite a lot of viewers in China have expressed their love for this IP. Even in the film and television industry, there are many companies who want to win the big IP of Fengyun. I bought the copyright from the original author of Fengyun, otherwise the TV series "Fengyun" would have been filmed like in the previous life, and it would appear in front of countless audiences in mainland China.

And after this IP was acquired by Tenda Film and Television Entertainment Company, because Tenda Film and Television Entertainment Company did not have so much resource supply within the company, this project has been in a state of silence for the past two years. Its current sudden appearance, all of a sudden It has attracted the attention of countless audiences in Mainland China and Hong Kong Island.

In particular, the currently announced cast of this TV series includes not only Chiba Shinichi, who played the hero in the movie "The Wind and Cloud Heroes of the World", but also Cao Qing, who plans to play Nie Feng himself.

It was also announced that Lin Zhiling, who once played the role of Ip Man's wife Zhang Yongcheng in the movie "The Grandmaster" directed by Cao Qing, will play the role of Mrs. Nie Wang's wife Yan Ying, and let her play the heroine in the popular movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space" Gu Xiaojiao's Quan Zhixian plays Kong Ci, and Yan Danchen plays You Ruo, the daughter of Xiongba.

It can be said that with the blessing of these three female stars alone, the TV series "Fengyun" has become particularly attractive in terms of the appearance of female characters.

With the blessing of three female stars with such outstanding looks, Chiba Shinichi, the domineering actor of the movie version of Xiongba, once again plays the role of Xiongba in the TV series, and the talented director Cao Qing with excellent appearance and outstanding acting ability personally supervises and acts as the actor. The protagonist, no matter from which angle it comes up, this TV series is full of explosive points and a sense of expectation.

And soon, with the publicity of the shooting plans of these two films and five TV series on the official website of Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company, at the end of April, in addition to the TV series "Fengyun", the movies "Detective Chinatown", "People on the Journey" "In addition to the three key dramas of Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company that are still slowly casting their casts, the shooting process of the four TV dramas of Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company that are relatively less important has already begun at a rapid speed.

With the joint efforts of the old directors already existing in Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company and the newly recruited new directors, the specific progress of the shooting of these four TV series is also fast.

With the rapid shooting progress of the remaining four TV series, the preparation speed of the crews of Tenda Film and Television Entertainment's other three major TV series "The Wind and Cloud" and the movies "Detective Chinatown" and "On the Road" seems to be quite high. Slow down.

Even for "Lost on the Journey", which has the fastest preparation time among the three major dramas, it was not until the end of May 2002, that is, one month after the four TV dramas of Tenda Film and Television Entertainment Company, that it finally found the film. starring and supporting roles.

For this reason, the old director who was in charge of filming this movie even had a dispute with Cao Qing, the film producer and the big boss of the company, on the concept of casting. There is no dispute about the choice of the protagonist Li Chenggong, after all The candidate selected by Cao Qing for this role is Xu Zheng, who is currently very popular in the Huaguo TV circle.

Born in 1972, he joined STA in 1990. Not only did he directly win the Best Actor Award at the [-]th Magnolia Drama Awards four years ago for his starring role in the drama "The Color of Stock"; Years ago, he became famous because of his starring role in the ancient costume myth drama "Bright Spring Pig Bajie". In addition, he recently starred in the ancient costume historical light comedy "Li Wei as an Official", which is also very popular by word of mouth.

To have such a first-line popular niche as the protagonist Li Chenggong of "On the Journey", for the old director who was in charge of filming the movie "On the Journey", let alone disgust, it is simply a wish.

After all, although Xu Zheng has never acted in a movie before, but he is able to star in a drama and win the Best Actor honor at the Magnolia Drama Award, so he is definitely not to be chosen in terms of acting skills.

What really made this old director disagree with the big boss and producer Cao Qing in the casting was the role of Niu Geng in the movie.

Although the old director is quite satisfied with Wang Baoqiang in terms of image, he also feels from the bottom of his heart that the temperament of this grassroots extra actor who has never participated in any movie before is the same as that in the movie "On the Journey". The big supporting role, Niu Geng, is also down-to-earth, but after all, the role of Niu Geng is an important supporting role in the movie "People on the Journey", and Wang Baoqiang, a grassroots extra, has no works to prove himself.

Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of his films, even though this very stubborn old director knew that his big boss Cao Qing had appointed Wang Baoqiang, a wild extra, as a burdock, he still clearly opposed it and resolutely only agreed. Let Wang Baoqiang, a wild extra, play an ordinary small role in the movie.

And it was under such a situation of constant disputes, Cao Qing, who had his own clear plans for the casting of the movie "People on the Journey", directly discarded this stubborn old director to another In the crew of a TV series, Ning Hao, who has extraordinary potential for future generations, was resolutely turned into the main director of the funny comedy movie "On the Journey".

Faced with such a big pie that fell from the sky, Ning Hao was quite able to seize the opportunity. Although he was a little nervous and flustered because he suddenly changed from the assistant director to the chief director of the movie "People on Journey", but He quickly adjusted his mentality.

Even after a short period of running-in, he calmly relied on the directing knowledge he had learned in the Beitel Photography Department, and another assistant director of the crew who had just been transferred by Cao Qing, a graduate of Shanghai Opera, Help, on June 6th, the movie "People on the Journey" was officially launched.

Similarly, after finally deciding on the casting candidates for the film "People on the Journey", in late June 2002, Cao Qing also began to make big plans for his fifth film "Detective Chinatown". Size casting.

His large-scale casting move not only instantly attracted the attention of many domestic media, but also attracted the attention of many foreign entertainment media. After all, Cao Qing's movie "Overtime and Space" that just finished screening not long ago "Cohabitation" is not only the well-deserved No.1 in the Huaguo film circle, but also performed quite well in the global overseas box office.

For Cao Qing's energetic performance, the "Beijing Evening News", which has always been concerned about Cao Qing's dynamics, directly reported this in an entire article in the entertainment section of its newspaper.

In this article, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of "Beijing Evening News" commented on Cao Qing even more sharply:
"For director Cao Qing, who is only 23 years old, sometimes I just don't know how to describe him."

"I don't know whether to say that he is reckless as a young man, or that he is fearless if he is ignorant, or that he is bold if he is skilled."

"In short, I am not at all optimistic about the future of the detective film "Detective Chinatown". After all, before this movie, many directors in our country have failed in the field of detective films, although I admit that director Cao Qing is indeed An out-and-out film genius, but this time I really can't believe that his "Detective Chinatown" can continue the miracle he has created in the field of film again."

"Furthermore, Director Cao Qing's speed in film production this time is really astonishing. It is completely different from the usual situation where a new movie is announced after a few months after the movie is released. The box office miracle "Cohabitation in Time and Space" has only been released for less than a month, and Director Cao Qing hastily released the new movie "Detective Chinatown". In such a situation, people have to doubt that this talented director is It's not because the box office of the last movie was too exaggerated that it caused a little feverishness and high spirits."

"At the same time, it is also worth noting that the new movie "Detective Chinatown" planned by director Cao Qing this time chose the unknown Wei Xiang as an important role. This choice is really intriguing."

However, although the editor-in-chief of "Beijing Evening News" has a sharp tone and style of writing, most of Cao Qing's fans do not agree with the views of this report.

In their view, Cao Qing, who has repeatedly created box office miracles, is fully qualified to open up a new world for the unpopular field of domestic films such as detective films.

In addition to these movie fans, ordinary people in China also have a supportive attitude towards Cao Qing's plan to shoot an unpopular detective film as the content of his fifth film. After all, Cao Qing has become a talented director in the past few years. They have already given them too many surprises, so even though they know that it is difficult to make a good detective film and get a good box office, they still have a lot of confidence in Cao Qing.

Even regarding this news, on Tianya.com, where young people gathered, countless fans of Cao Qing's movie directly discussed together, eagerly discussing and guessing about the general content of "Detective Chinatown".

As for the discussion of his enthusiastic movie fans on Tianya.com, Cao Qing has always remained silent. It was not until July 7st that he finally made a simple response to those enthusiastic movie fans on the official website of Tengda Film and Television Entertainment Company. And announced all the cast candidates for the movie "Detective Chinatown".
