Chapter 205 I have the final say
Frontier Airport.

Liao Meiyun's team got off the plane in order. The staff at the airport gate received the news in advance and arranged more than a dozen security guards in double rows to escort them.

After getting off the plane, He Yongchao, the general manager of 101, made a phone call, turned around and said with a smile, "Director Fu has arranged for people to wait in the airport lobby, so let's meet them directly."

"Ok."

After Liao Meiyun replied, she lowered her head and fiddled with the phone.

In the past two days, she has been searching the Internet for news about the relationship between the old brother and Han Yu. She called, but the old brother didn't seem to care about this matter at all. He just warned Liao Meiyun not to pay attention to this matter, and not to interfere.

But although Liao Meiyun agreed, she didn't think so. She checked the Internet almost every day to ensure that the situation would not erupt further.

Because of the busy schedule, she didn't have the opportunity to watch her brother's solo tour. She could only enjoy the scenery of the concert hall through Xiao Peng's live video broadcast during the break time after work.

Seeing that Liao Meiyun was absent-minded, He Yongchao frowned slightly, "Meiyun, not everyone can participate in Director Fu's first film and television work. There were many first-line actors who wanted to participate in the past, but they all fell through, so you have to fight Get up! If you succeed in this audition, you will have more possibilities in the future."

"Brother Yongchao."

Liao Meiyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely succeed in the audition this time, not for anything else, but because my brother wrote this drama."

He Yongchao was startled, and immediately asked enthusiastically: "Meiyun, did you get any news from your brother? Is this audition a must?"

Liao Meiyun shook her head.

He Yongchao frowned again, but he didn't say too much, he greeted a group of staff behind him, and started to walk out of the airport hall.

Liao Meiyun put on a mask and lowered the brim of her baseball cap. When she walked, her ponytail kept flicking. Coupled with the blue and white sportswear, she looked youthful.

As soon as the group appeared in the airport hall, they attracted the attention of passers-by.

But because the itinerary is kept secret, even if someone thinks it is a celebrity, no one can recognize the identity immediately. They will just secretly take out a few photos with their mobile phones and post them on social networks.

Soon, under the escort of security personnel, everyone joined Liu Hai and others who came to pick up the plane.

The two sides were a little more polite, and without much communication, they took rows of off-road vehicles and drove towards the desert.

The Taklimakan Desert, located in the center of the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang, is the largest desert in China, the tenth largest desert in the world, and the second largest mobile desert in the world.

The entire desert is about 1000 kilometers long from east to west, 400 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of ​​33 square kilometers.The average annual precipitation does not exceed 100 millimeters, the lowest is only four or five millimeters, but the average evaporation is as high as 3000 millimeters.

This makes the entire desert, even in the air, contain sand grains visible to the naked eye.

Before entering the desert, in order to adapt to the environment, the group also changed into mountaineering suits, and Liao Meiyun even changed into a high hat and veil to block the blowing sand and dust.

The crew of "Exquisite Ancient City" is setting up the scene here. The protagonists have also made various preparations in advance to film this popular IP. Those who should gain weight should gain weight, those who should get tanned, and those who should memorize their lines .

Among them, the heroine who plays Shirley Yang has read the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City" back and forth twice in just one week, in order to better understand the soul of the characters in the original book.

The initial investment of the whole drama was as high as [-] million RMB.

Although it is Fu Yuntao's first film and television drama, but relying on Fu Yuntao's personal charm in the circle, he has attracted more than ten film and television companies to jointly finance. Among them, the small yellow croaker culture has invested everything, and invested 2000 million yuan.

In order to get the best visual effects, the whole team not only had to shoot the big avalanche in Kunlun Mountains, but also the black sandstorm in the Taklamakan Desert.

In addition, the appearance of monsters such as the red jellyfish, the big pig-faced bat, and the black-eyed snake, as well as the presentation of murals, stone carvings, and coffins, all require the combination of real scenes and special effects to achieve excellence.

Such a huge investment is not common in the production of online dramas, but this is only the initial investment. After post-production, the investment of the entire drama reaching 2.5 million is only a guaranteed figure.

Many people actually have a lot of confidence in this drama. After all, it is the most popular novel IP on the market in the past two years. Very rare.

The only uncertainty is the director Fu Yuntao. Fu Yuntao is the godfather of variety shows. He has directed and filmed many popular variety shows, but he is not a popular film and television drama director. This "Exquisite Ancient City" can be said to be his film and television Therefore, the outside world does not have much confidence in Director Fu.

But the key issue is that the copyright of "Ghost Blowing Lamp: The Exquisite Ancient City" is in the hands of Fu Yuntao.

Thinking of this problem, many film and television companies regret it.

When the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was just becoming popular, Fu Yuntao acted first and bought the film and television copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at a sky-high price of "700 million" that no investor dared to sell.

Many people feel that the price is high.

But as time passed, more and more people became fans of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" novel. If it were put into the present, the film and television copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" would be the starting price if it broke tens of millions.

Many people are frustrated with their short-sightedness.

The crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" didn't go deep into the desert, but only filmed in an area within [-] kilometers from the land city. Liao Meiyun and others will soon join the crew.

After getting the news, Fu Yuntao put down the megaphone in his hand, and warmly greeted Liao Meiyun and his party.

"This is dark tea, that is, Pu'er tea. It is inconvenient to transport materials in the desert, so let's just drink it!"

In the temporary tent, Fu Yuntao personally made tea for Liao Meiyun and He Yongchao, which flattered the latter.

He Yongchao hurriedly got up to take the teacup, took a sip, felt the bitterness, but still gave a thumbs up and praised: "The fragrance is mellow, good tea!"

Liao Meiyun took off her veil, looked at Fu Yuntao's dark face, and said with a smile: "Director Fu, long time no see, you have turned dark."

"Hey, just a few days in the desert and that's it."

Fu Yuntao said with a smile: "However, for men, it's better to be darker and masculine, but you girls can't do it. You must wear more sunscreen here, otherwise you will definitely become like me. At that time, your brother But you are going to trouble me, haha!"

After the two parties chatted about the old days, Fu Yuntao asked someone to bring the character script and handed it to Liao Meiyun: "This is your script, because many scenes have already been built, and there is not much time left for you, so you have to hurry up and write the script. Familiar with the lines. After two days, the crew will arrive, you can ask them for more acting skills, of course, if there is anything you don’t understand, you can also ask me directly.”

He Yongchao felt that something was wrong, he asked cautiously: "Director Fu, why don't we audition?"

Fu Yuntao stared: "Audit? What kind of mirror?"

"No, I'm afraid that others will gossip..." He Yongchao said excitedly.

Fu Yuntao chuckled: "Based on my relationship with Mr. Liao Yuan, who would dare to gossip about his sister taking a role? I have the final say on this crew."
