My singer girlfriend is super fierce

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

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

On New Year's Day, Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei came out from home and passed by the Yu family's old house in Suzhou to visit Mr. Yu. They stayed for most of the day and returned directly to Huahai that night.

On the second day after returning to Huahai City, Ye Zhiqiu went into work.

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 in full swing. However, as a core character, some situations still require Ye Zhiqiu's personal participation.

In terms of movies, "The Return of the Great Sage" has officially entered the production stage. With the assistance of two industry veterans, Yang Jie and Li Haicheng, who were on the "Journey to the West" crew, and with 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 ignited by that fighting scene, and he even felt that the overall production level was a bit better than in his previous life.

In fact, this is normal. Starting from "That Rabbit", the "Shining Autumn" studio has accumulated several popular works, expanded several times, and absorbed outstanding talents in the industry. Now it is a well-established "domestic animation studio" "One Brother", the overall level is ranked among the best in the world.

Especially after participating in the "Tokyo Animation Awards", the studio's horizons have been opened, and the focus of competition has shifted from domestic to global, and it is natural to strive 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 Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The drama "In the Name of the People" is also progressing quite smoothly. Director Kuang Pingzhou, who was invited to come out again after several years of silence, 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.

There were no twists and turns in the selection of actors for this drama. The main reason was that the requirement of "veteran drama stars" was there, so a large number of them were screened out, and there were not many to choose from.

As for the actors who received role offers, after reading the script, not one of them refused...

On the contrary, the selection of actors for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was not so smooth, or in other words, 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 about the crew preparations for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

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

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

After all, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has just concluded, with an astonishing average ratings of 3.5%. Everyone has read the script of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," and naturally knows that there is a huge audience base. As long as the production standards can be maintained , the probability of this drama failing is extremely slim.

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

"But there are many types of handsomeness. Yang Guo's handsomeness is described in the book as 'clear and handsome, with sword-shaped eyebrows at the temples and phoenix eyes that are powerful'. To put it simply, he is handsome and heroic, so just good-looking is not enough. "

"We have been looking for several rounds, but there are not many male actors who are ranked in the industry who meet this standard. Either their style is soft, or their acting skills are not up to par, or they can't do martial arts moves. They are always poor. That’s right.”

At this time, Lu Ping pondered for a while and asked: "Where is Li Xiao? He has played Li Xiaoyao in the "Sword of Immortal" series. His acting skills are acceptable and his martial arts scenes are passable."

On the side, the deputy director of the production team said: "We let Li Xiao audition for the role. He is also very willing to star in the role himself. All the conditions are okay, but... he is not so handsome."

"..." Everyone was silent, all feeling a little headache.

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

"Let me tell you, don't go to such trouble." Kaichang Cheng said, "Don't we have the most suitable candidate in our own company?"

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

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

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

Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lu, Director Zhang, it's not that I don't want to act, it's all my own work. How can I not care about it, but I really can't do anything else."

"Honestly, the challenge of the role in "In the Name of the People" is greater. I am more interested in that one. The filming time of both sides is almost the same. Is that a drama?"

"No, no!" Zhang Zhangcheng said immediately, "I've talked to Director Kuang, and there won't be any conflict!"

"Most of the scenes in the drama "In the Name of the People" are relatively concentrated. If the shooting speed increases, it can be shot very quickly. Director Kuang estimates that the filming can be completed in three to four months."

"Although the character of 'Hou Liangping' is the male protagonist, strictly speaking, he doesn't have a lot of scenes. If the filming is arranged well and concentrated, the filming can be completed in a month. We happened to be filming Yang Guo's teenage scene in "The Condor" earlier. , and you don’t need to be there.”

Zhang Kaicheng chuckled and said: "I have discussed it with Director Kuang and he has no objection at all. It's totally fine!"

In fact, it would be false if Kuang Pingzhou had no objection at all under normal circumstances.

No director would like the filming time of the lead actor to be so "tight". This is equivalent to the crew having to accommodate one person to a certain extent, which may disrupt the director's shooting rhythm and cast doubt on the actor's status.

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

More importantly, Ye Zhiqiu is one of the investors. To put it bluntly, if it hadn't been for Ye Zhiqiu's active invitation, Kuang Pingzhou wouldn't have had the chance to direct this drama, so what would he have said?

In fact, in many crews, big-name actors have more or less "privileges". This is also a well-established rule in the industry.

It is nothing new for some popular actors with strong backgrounds to not only film movies, but even film several movies at the same time. Otherwise, how could they achieve "making more than a dozen movies a year"?

When meeting these actors, the director has to accept them and greet them with a smile. After all, if they really break up, it will be him and no one else.

With Ye Zhiqiu's current status, just asking the crew to slightly adjust the shooting schedule would be nothing, and Kuang Pingzhou naturally had nothing to say.
