China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 102 Take Care of Your Lower Body
With the successive successes of "Latent" and "Little Cook", He Hua has completely established his reputation in the TV circle.

In addition, he still has a book in his hand that attracted Wang Zhiwen to step down to play a supporting role, which made many companies and directors realize his talent as a screenwriter.

So they called one after another to invite manuscripts, asking for the right to adapt He Hua's novel without a script, but all of them were declined.

Youhua Entertainment quickly released the news: "He Hua is currently devoting himself to the production of TV dramas and has no time to create new scripts."

"And I have no idea of ​​adapting the novel for the time being. If there is interest, I will contact you in time."

What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't your script of "Weird Man Yizhimei" still playing?

All the companies understand that they don't want to just earn money for scripts and adaptations, because they have a big appetite.

It's also fortunate that Youhua is not a company that eats its own food, or someone would have started targeting He Hua a long time ago.

The filming of "Before Dawn" went smoothly, with the financial master in charge and Wang Zhiwen, a powerful man watching from the sidelines, everyone was trying to give full play to 120% of their strength.

But He Hua is still a little dissatisfied: Xu Yajun is indeed worse than Wu Xiubo in shaping this role.

Like this play:

Bian Ri was arrested, and Tan Zhongshu began to test Liu Xinjie for the third time.

He first asked Liu Xinjie to entertain the 'sailor' Duan Haiping about the Moses plan.

But when Liu Xinjie arrived at the hotel, Tan Zhongshu called and said that he was unable to come because of something, and he also revealed intentionally or unintentionally that his subordinate Qi Peilin had started to use hypnotic drugs to interrogate Bian Rinan.

After hearing this news, Liu Xinjie should be desperate and confused.

Also, his movement of turning the table was caused by the instantaneous release of the pain that had been suppressed for a long time.

But Xu Yajun's performance: He had a regretful expression on his face as soon as he put down the phone, and then his expression became more serious, and then he lifted the table.

This is not right.

He Hua frowned and began to discuss with Jiang Wei:
"His expression changed too quickly. After putting down the phone, Liu Xinjie should first be bitter in his heart, then frustrated and desperate after his hopes were dashed, mixed with annoyance in the middle, and finally determined to fight to the death."

"And the rhythm of the whole play is not right, I think it should be slowed down."

Jiang Wei tuned the scene back and watched it again, and his performance was indeed average: "Then do it again."

After the rhythm slowed down this time, the expressiveness was slightly better than before, but He Hua was still not satisfied.

If you are not satisfied, continue shooting. After ten rounds of shooting, it still doesn’t work. He Hua and Jiang Wei discussed the next shoot first, and he chatted with Xu Yajun.

Jiang Wei agreed.

Soon He Hua took Xu Yajun to chat about his understanding of the scene, and continued shooting after chatting.

Three hours, this scene was filmed for a full three hours before it barely met He Hua's requirements.

It's not just because of this scene, but also several times against Wang Zhiwen and Lin Yongjian. He was obviously at a disadvantage, which made He Hua very dissatisfied.

He Hua is also a little helpless, why can't Wu Moumou be so aggressive, he can't control himself, if he is fine, and the house doesn't collapse, why should I find a substitute?

However, the filming progress of the entire crew has not been delayed. In the past month or so, Jiang Wei has already filmed a lot of indoor scenes, and the next step is the exterior scenes. I believe that the filming of this drama will be completed in less than a month.

On November 11th, He Hua looked at the sales statistics sent by the publishing house:
Throughout October, the upper and lower parts of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" once again sold more than 32 copies.

It has sold 60 copies for two consecutive months. This sales volume has caused a lot of discussion in the literary circle of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an".

Some experts and scholars criticized him for disrespecting historical facts, and began to find fault with He Hua's works, euphemistically saying: "Eliminate the false and keep the true."

Of course, where there is opposition, there is support. Teacher Wang Liqun spoke to He Hua in an interview:

"How authentic is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Literary works themselves are very different from historiography, and literary works cannot be measured by the standards of historiography."

"Many people understand history with extreme psychology. This is fake, that is fabricated, history has been tampered with, and so on."

"Actually it's not necessary."

"When reading a novel, as long as the basic logic conforms to historical facts, it is enough, because it belongs to the category of literature and art. If art and literature are purely realistic, there will be no beauty."

These remarks quickly helped He Hua get rid of those negative comments, and He Hua also called to express his gratitude.

With the popularity of the novel, He Hua also received invitations to many programs again.

Under the persuasion of the company and the publishing house, He Hua participated in the "Interview with Yang Lan"

"Hello everyone, welcome to "Interview with Yang Lan". Recently, a book has aroused public discussion. On the one hand, the sales volume of this book has reached 60 copies in two months. On the other hand, the content of the book has also subverted everyone's perception of ancient times."

"This book is "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". Today we have invited its author, He Hua, to talk with us about his creative journey."

"Hello, He Hua."

"Hello, Yang Lan."

After saying hello, Yang Lan took out a book from the side, returned it and said, "I bought this book and read it the day after it was released."

As he spoke, he showed the camera the cover of the next book.

After the show, he continued: "After reading the book, I feel that it is not like a historical novel, but has very modern content."

"Yes, I have said it before, I am telling a story of modern values ​​with an ancient style of writing."

Yang Lan nodded, agreeing with He Hua's statement:
"This book seems to have a different style from your previous novels."

He Hua thought for a while and replied:
"I have made some breakthroughs in creation, and the rhythm of the whole book imitates the style of American dramas."

"American drama style?"

"Have you seen "24 Hours"?"

Seeing Yang Lan shaking her head, He Hua briefly introduced the American drama to her:

"It's very tight-paced, and there's so much information in just one episode that it blows you away and makes you feel very fulfilled. I'm learning to emulate that style."

After listening to He Hua's explanation, Yang Lan understood: "Why do you want to learn this style?"

"You also know that besides writing novels, I'm also a screenwriter. Screenwriters spend a lot of time watching a lot of film and television works to enrich their material library."

"I found a problem when I was watching a TV series."

"In order to make money, many TV dramas lengthen the length, which creates a lot of water-filled plots, which seriously affects the quality of TV dramas."

"It disgusts me so much."

"So after seeing "24 Hours", I wondered what it would be like to put this sense of rhythm in ancient times?"

"I just wrote "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" to try."

Yang Lan said with a smile: "Now it seems that this attempt is very successful."

"It's okay." He Hua didn't accept the flattery.
