1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 297 Everyone joins the group!

The author of the novel "Plainclothes Policeman" is Wang Ruohai, who also gave himself a pen name, such as Haiyan or something.

The novel was quite successful when it was first published.

The prototype is Wang Ruohai’s own experience as a police officer, including some undercover missions, so it is written very realistically.

——The story in the story about the fence, didn’t he work as a prison guard? That’s very real!

In addition, Xia Tian helped him check the rhythm and narrative, and after the story was released, it was highly praised in the circle.

Especially within Uncle Hat, the praise is high.

Wang Ruohai received some praise and commendation for this, and also gave speeches at meetings.

Look, the novel is going to be adapted into a TV series!
There has been no talk of Xia Tian’s own novels being adapted into TV series—of course, none of them are suitable.

Not to mention those weird stories written in the United States, it’s impossible to publish them in China now!

"The Disappearance of the Atmosphere" is a children's science fiction.

"Green Dragon Crescent Blade" is too short.

"The Four Major Injustice Cases in the Late Qing Dynasty" is worth a try.

"Kunlun" is a large-scale martial arts novel. Domestic TV dramas are just starting out and cannot take on such a big job.

The same goes for "The Eighth Bronze Man of Shaolin". There are no martial arts TV series in the mainland!
The same is true for "Zhu Xian" which is still being written.

"Red Ling" is a bit short, but it can be made into a movie?

"The Bird Without Feet" is too literary, and the protagonist is an anthropomorphic animal...

"Qingyun Qi Tu" can't even be mentioned...

"Ghost Blowing the Light" didn't dare to be published...

Xia Tian: Damn it, I didn’t do anything serious?!

……

Let’s not talk about how Xia Tian was a little envious and jealous of the TV series adapted from Wang Ruohai’s novels, let’s get back to the present.

In the summer, I went to the Television Drama Art Center to meet director Lin Ruwei, a little old lady who was three years younger than Director Yang.

He has a round face, is short, and looks very kind. He is not the same type as Director Yang.

He speaks slowly and in great detail.

Xia Tian heard that it was going to be a 12-episode TV series, and she felt relieved.
Xia Tian is too familiar with the original plot. After all, he can be considered as one-quarter of the author!

After discussing with Director Lin for an hour or so, both sides were very satisfied, so we decided on this job.

However, Milan has strong objections to this job!
And he always asks questions in a roundabout way.

Xia Tian was a little surprised: "Why are you suddenly interested in this TV series?"

He smiled and said, "Did you suddenly realize that you want to be an actor and play a role?"

Milan heard it and said, "That's fine!"

Xiaoxu and Zhang Li on the side were both surprised: We both gave up our dreams of becoming actors, but you picked it up again?

Xia Tian felt something was wrong when she heard this - if Milan had a dream of becoming an actor, how could she not know about it?
The reason why she played the role of White Bone Demon was because Director Yang asked for it and he thought very highly of her!
She herself was somewhat interested, but not much.

It is precisely this sense of relaxation that allowed the portrayal of a half-crazy White Bone Lady who would do anything, even at the cost of her own life, to sow discord between Tang Monk and his disciples.

Although there were both good and bad reviews, the impression it left on the audience was undoubtedly extremely deep!
But after filming the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West, Milan acted like "it's not that interesting" and never thought about playing anything else.

Are you excited now?

Something's wrong! Something is very wrong!

So Xia Tian "captured" him and "interrogated" him, "Tell me, are you hiding something from me?"

Milan didn't say anything, so Xiaoxu and Zhang Li took the opportunity to take revenge. They made her so nervous that she almost rolled her eyes, so she had to tell the truth.

Milan: "I always feel like there's something wrong with the way Wang Ruohai looks at you..."

"What's wrong?" Xia Tian was confused.

Is that guy jealous of me? Well, it's normal to be jealous. I'm jealous of myself.
Milan: "It's not jealousy, it's that kind of look between opposite sexes... the kind of look you want to get!"

For Milan, this look was too familiar.

In the early years, many people looked at me like this, and I looked at Xia Tian the same way!

This can't be wrong!
Xia Tian was shocked when he heard this, and began to reflect on his previous interactions with Wang Ruohai, especially when he asked him for advice on the novel - that was when they were alone!
"Hiss~" He took a breath of cold air!
Xia Tian: "Could this grandson have any improper thoughts about me?"

Milan had an expression that said, "Now you know how powerful this is." He pulled Xia Tian's arm and said, "Next time you go out drinking with them, you have to take me with you."

Xia Tian: Drinking? What kind of alcohol?! How dare I drink? Boys should protect themselves when they are outside!

The reason why Milan wanted a role was to follow the crew and look at Wang Ruohai!

"Isn't it inappropriate?" Xia Tian felt that it seemed inappropriate to ask for a role because of this?
"I have to protect your safety!" Xia Tian nodded, agreed to Milan's method, and said: "I remember that two years ago he took advantage of Xu Xun's imprisonment and got together with Qiao Qiao?"

Milan said nonchalantly: "They have already broken up, and now Qiao Qiao is close to Xu Xun."

My goodness, it’s such a mess!
However, it also shows that Wang Ruohai is not just one-size-fits-all!
Xiao Xu and Zhang Li on the side were stunned by what they heard and remained silent for a long time - could it be that people like Jia Lian in Dream of Red Mansions also exist in real life? !
The next day, Xia Tian took Milan to see Director Lin to recommend actors.

Xia Tian wanted to recommend her to play the third female role, whose character is the child of a high-ranking official, and she has some of the bad habits of a high-ranking official's child.

Isn't this acting as yourself?!
But Milan refused, she wanted to play the leading or second female lead.

The female lead is the male lead's colleague and has a crush on him.

The second female lead is the third female lead's sister, she is also a high-ranking official's child, and she is also the male lead's girlfriend~
Milan: This is called acting in your true colors!!!

As for which role I will be given in the end, it depends on Director Lin’s intention.

If the White Bone Demon came to the crew to play a role, there would be nothing wrong with it.

It is said that women are born actors. Judging from her interpretation of the role of Mrs. White Bone, Milan can be considered a natural actor among women!

Very good at acting~
At that time, TV series were prepared quickly because they were all "small productions". Unless they were large-scale productions like the "Four Great Classics", they would be prepared very quickly.

Because the TV station is short of programs!

In less than a week, Director Lin confirmed some actors, the first of which was Milan to play Xia Tian’s girlfriend.
She was seconded from the Shougang Art Troupe to play the role of Xia Tian, ​​the girlfriend of a high-ranking official's son!
Among the other actors, Xia Tian actually has two “familiar friends”!
One of them is Mr. Lan Tianye!
The old man was born in 27 and is already 60 years old this year. He is the “founding father” of the People’s Art Theatre!
Regardless of his qualifications and status in the entertainment industry, Xia Tian heard in later generations that this old man was once an "underground party member"!
His original surname was Wang, but later due to the risk of being exposed, he was instructed by his superiors to change his name to Lan Tianye!

On the surface, he is a second-generation major of the Guo Party. He behaves in a high-profile and domineering manner, but secretly he is a member of our party, responsible for transporting supplies and intelligence!
Just tell me whether you have acting skills or not?
If your acting is not good, you will lose your life!
Mr. Lan plays Milan’s “father”, the senior official.

And another "familiar face" of the crew in the summer was actually "Madame Rong"!
That’s right, it’s Teacher Li Qiming!

Teacher Li was born in 36 and is 51 years old this year. He started his film and television acting career in 60 and has been a veteran actor for more than years.

The second male lead in the play - Du Weidong, the protagonist's cellmate in prison, is played by Shen Junyi, who played the mountain leopard in "The Bandits in Wulong Mountain".

(It reminds me of Shen Gongbao for some reason~)

Because his previous villain role in "The Bandits of Wulong Mountain" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience, now no matter what role he plays, the audience thinks he is a bad guy.

However, this cellmate has a kind nature, I hope I can help him regain some points in people’s impression!

The female lead, who is also the female colleague who has a crush on the protagonist, is played by Song Chunli.

She used to work at the Bayi Film Studio, and in 85 she attended the cadre training class of the Performance Department of Yandian University, so she and Xia Tian are classmates!
She is 14 years older than Xia Tian!
But because he looks young and Xia Tian has a mature and stable temperament, the two are not at all inconsistent.

……

After all, Xia Tian also studied directing and is well-known for his "capability" in CCTV!
So Director Lin still asked for a lot of suggestions and assigned some tasks.

From the perspective of Xia's later generations, being able to take advantage of others' situation is naturally a great thing.

But these days, it’s all about learning more and doing more!
From the bottom of my heart, I hope to make more contributions and do more work!
When your leader assigns you tasks, he doesn't treat you like a beast of burden like in later generations. He doesn't paint you a rosy picture or promises you big things. He really wants to cultivate you.

Following Xia Tian’s suggestion, the main characters began to read the script and started writing character biographies.

Then I discussed the shooting plan with the two directors and the assistant director, and discussed the storyboard script and so on.

You know what, for Director Lin and the others, this is too new!

Moreover, Xia Tian also "abused his power for personal gain" and transferred Dachun and Pants to the crew.

The former works as Director Lin's assistant director, and the latter works as an art designer.

Pants was grateful, but also a little bit complaining: Dachun was assigned an assistant director, while he was assigned an art director...

There is no way to say this, Dachun wanted to be a director from the beginning! Although he did odd jobs, he would go to the director whenever he had time.

This is the route arranged for summer!

But Ku Zi originally followed Zheng Xiaolong's path, and ended up being an artist forever.

Pants felt miserable: No! I have to find a chance to complain to Brother Tianer and ask him to give me some advice!
The desire of pants to stand out is huge! Very huge!
This is due to the environment I grew up in.

As for the big jar Zhao Baogang, he doesn't need Xia Tian's help.

Last time in “Four Generations Under One Roof”, Da Gangzi got along with Director Lin like a mother and son, and was brought around to be taught like a son!
Now he works as a production manager in the crew, and even in the early preparations, he does a lot of assistant director's work.

Zhao Baogang is as ambitious as Pants, but Pants is too scheming to make a living, while Da Gangzi is more pragmatic.

I learned how to write storyboards and make shooting plans from Xia Tian, ​​and how to design art sets from Ku Zi. That means I learned professional techniques from lighting and prop masters...

Xia Tian said to Da Chun: "Just follow Da Gangzi. Learn whatever he learns. You will definitely be right!"

Being a director is a comprehensive job. You don’t have to be proficient in any aspect, but you must have a general understanding of them.

This is just the introduction to basic skills!

To become a qualified director, it really takes several years of study and practice.

As the saying goes, a chancellor starts from a prefecture or county, and a brave general starts from the army. You have to go through, learn, and see all the necessary links.
