The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 223 is a boutique, you can look forward to it
In winter, Shanghai is as cold as Jinling, and sometimes it snows here.

The sky is fine tonight. Although there is no moon, there are a few bright stars hanging in the sky, as if they are hanging on the roof of a building, and you can touch them with your hands.

In the lobby of the editing building of Shanghai Film Studio, Li Shengyao slowly walked out of the editing room with his thermos.

He took a glass of water, then found a chair and sat down.

Through the glass window, he could see the night sky on the opposite side.

He could touch the stars with his hand. He was looking forward to it, and even wanted to go to the tall building opposite to try it.

After "Dashang Palace" was finished in Hengdian, he had just had the finale banquet, and he rushed to Shanghai City with his people without stopping, and then let the editors of Shanghai Film Studio work.

"Da Shang Palace" has a relatively long plot, with a total of [-] episodes. In addition to Lee Shengyao's pursuit of quality, the editing speed this time is about the same as "Signal", and much slower than "Love Hotel".

Li Shengyao estimated that it would take half a month to complete the editing.

Ten days have passed now.

Today's work has just ended, Li Shengyao also felt a little tired, so he planned to sit and rest for a while to refresh himself.

Chen Xun is also in Shanghai at this time. "Pink Girl" has been finished and is being edited, and she will dub after it is finished.

The two reunited after a long absence, so it was natural to have some in-depth communication.

However, Chen Xun danced and practiced yoga during the day, while Li Shengyao directed the editing in the editing room, so he was exhausted physically and mentally.

So much so that I couldn't handle it at night.

He planned to sit down for a while, then find a restaurant, order two catties of mutton and seafood, recover his physical strength, and fight again.

In short, Chen Xun should not be underestimated.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a man came out holding his waist. He was tall and thin, and he was wearing a hat. He had very dark circles under his eyes. He was the director of "Pink Girl". next.

"Pink Girl" was completed half a month earlier than "Da Shang Palace".

Zhu Yi also worked very hard and wanted to finish the post-production earlier, so he went to the editing room every day to provide his opinions and requirements to the editors.

At this moment he looked haggard.

If it wasn't for understanding the hardships of editing, one might think that Zhu Yi came out of some chicken coop.

But Li Shengyao understood how exhausting it is to stay in a small room all day.

He understood Zhu Yi's state at this time, and smiled, "Director Zhu, thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Yi kept his head down, paused after hearing the words, then hurriedly raised his head, bent down and waved, "Hi Director Li, I was sorry just now, I was distracted and didn't see you."

"It's okay, I'm not Dayao, I'm as conspicuous as a pillar wherever I go."

Zhu Yi lived in Shanghai all the year round, and often went to watch Dayao play. Hearing this, he laughed, then bent over and walked over, and sat down next to Li Shengyao.

"Director Li, this editing work is really tiring. Sometimes I really don't want to take care of it, and I leave it to the editors to play freely."

Relatively speaking, in the production process of a drama, the working environment of editing is the narrowest and dullest, and it is indeed more tiring.

Li Shengyao nodded with a smile, "Whatever you pay, what you gain."

Zhu Yi then asked: "Director Li has about a few days left to complete it?"

"Five days."

The current editing progress is about the same as Lee Shengyao estimated. If there are no accidents, it will be just half a month.

Zhu Yi widened his eyes, then slowly stretched out a thumb.

He had heard that Li Shengyao had a draft in mind, and the editing was very fast. The previous TV dramas were edited in three to five days.

He didn't believe it at the beginning. Lee Sheng Yew is currently filming five dramas, and four of them have already been aired. All of these four dramas are very smooth, and the transitions are natural, without any sense of jerky and frustration.

At first glance, it was edited after a long period of thinking.

But now "Da Shang Gong" has [-] episodes, and it is still edited in half a month. I have to admire that people have this ability.

Forty episodes of "Pink Girl", he is in a hurry, it will take about a month.

"Director Li, you are amazing."

Zhu Yi paused for a moment, then couldn't help asking: "Director Li, can "Da Shang Palace" really be sold overseas?"

Costume dramas have strong cultural barriers, and it is difficult to watch them without knowing the history and culture of another Guo Jia.

Just like ordinary people in the mainland, [-]% of them are not interested in Dahe dramas in the island country.

Unless it is an H version of Dahe drama, who will watch it?

Zhu Yi had seen an interview with Li Shengyao, and Li Shengyao said that he hoped that "Da Shang Palace" would allow overseas audiences to understand Chinese history better, so "Da Shang Palace" would naturally be sold.

So the question is, can costume dramas really go out?
The island country, the peninsula, and Annan are not bad, and the common people know a little about Chinese history.

You said the Philippine Island, India Island, or the big oil country, can people in these places really see it?

Regarding the interview with Lee Sheng Yew, many people are discussing it.

Many people feel that Lee Sheng Yew is about to capsize in the gutter this time, and they don't think a story about the Ming Dynasty can attract overseas audiences.

Of course, now that Lee Seung-yao's reputation has grown, there are also some die-hard fans. They think that no matter what drama Lee is filming, he can go out.

Zhu Yi was still very curious and wanted to hear Li Shengyao's real thoughts.

Li Shengyao smiled, "I made some attempts in "The Great Shang Palace", mainly to put the story line and the camera on the heroine, and the background of the story is mostly in the palace, there are not many stories outside, and the characters are not too many. "

"As long as IQ is normal, even if you don't understand this period of history, you can still understand this drama."

"Of course, this is just my opinion. Whether it will work in the end or not will be known later."

Hearing this, Zhu Yi gave a thumbs up again.

He wasn't sure if "Da Shang Gong" would work in the end, but he felt that Li Shengyao's attempt was very good.

"Director Li, "Da Shang Palace" took such a long time to shoot, so it must be very delicate?"

"It's okay, I'll try to do my best, how about you, how do you feel about "Pink Girl"?"

"The actors performed very well, but I always feel that the urban dramas I filmed are not as good as your urban dramas."

The two chatted like this for half an hour before they dispersed.

Three hours later, Li Shengyao was lying on the big bed in the presidential suite of the Jinjiang Hotel, and beside him was a woman, who was Chen Xun.

After parting with Zhu Yi, he found a restaurant, ordered some kidney-supplementing dishes, had a good meal, and then went back to the hotel. He was very proud of killing Chen Xun just now.

At this moment, Chen Xun was lying down and thinking about it.

He got up and put on a pajamas, opened the curtains, stood in front of the glass window, and watched the bustling night scene of Shanghai up close.

Although he was very humble when communicating with Zhu Yi before, he still looked forward to it in his heart.

The production of "Da Shang Gong" is indeed very good. The 2000 million budget cost a total of 800 million. The actors are not expensive. The main reason is that Lee Sung Yew kept improving and spent a lot of money.

Not to mention that the scenes of making food in the play are all real fresh ingredients.

He is really looking forward to this drama.

The next step is to go to Po Village to receive the award, and promote "Da Shang Palace" by the way, I hope everything goes well.
