Get the perfect music system at the start

Xu Fan understood that he had chosen mostly older actors for this TV series because older actors have more experience.

With enough experience, coupled with the trials and tribulations of life over the years, they have long since developed the ability to portray scenes that are extremely real without acting.

Therefore, he hesitated, wondering if he should choose more older actors. After all, although age is not a reliable indicator of acting skills, surveys show that most older actors are very skilled.

However, Xu Fan ultimately chose several young actors.

Both Zhao Yunyi and Leng Xiaogu are actors with representative works among these actors.

Leng Xiaogu was the winner of the previous Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, and Zhao Yunyi was the same, becoming a hit online for playing the role of Huang Mao in Xu Fan's film "Dying to Survive".

Among the younger generation of actors, these two are arguably the two with the most competent acting skills.

Of course, from another perspective, Xu Fan also has to admit that there were some personal reasons involved.

Xu Fan felt he should help Leng Xiaogu because she was Xue Laiyi's cousin.

Zhao Yunyi is a singer I greatly admire, and also a very good actor.

This is not to say that I abused my power or that I felt I had some kind of relationship with them to get this role.

It was because Xu Fan first realized that these two actors were really good at acting, and there were other actors who were equally good.

So, when choosing from these people, Xu Fan naturally chose the two he knew. Of course, there was another crucial reason behind this decision.

That's the show; it's really perfect for these two people.

Xu Fan had already defined the roles for the two actors, so he had particularly high expectations and requirements for them.

Although they weren't the leads, both were important supporting actors.

After looking at most of the people, Xu Fan clapped his hands again.

This time, everyone's eyes were on Xu Fan.

Don't go in. Mr. Yu Hezhi and his wife, the two of them had actually been discussing the scenes.

However, there were no cameras shooting for the two of them today.

So there was no rush. I just stood by the side of senior Zhou He, and apart from talking about some plot details, I spent a long time with Mr. Zhou He.

Although the old gentleman had been there for a long time, nine out of ten of his sentences were about discussing the upcoming scenes.

Originally, according to the previous plan, the filming was delayed for a few days because the old gentleman had something to do. So Xu Fan planned to shoot other scenes first, and then reshoot them when the old gentleman arrived.

However, due to his own circumstances, the filming was delayed, so the old gentleman also came to participate in the opening ceremony.

To avoid making the old man have to make too many trips, Xu Fan plans to film his scenes today, which are one of the most important scenes and the most crucial part of the entire TV series.

Whether an anti-corruption drama can succeed depends on at least one crucial factor, as Xu Fan learned from watching a parallel world TV series.

That is, the opening is stunning, shocking, and awe-inspiring, capturing everyone's attention.

Zhao Dehan's identity was sensitive, yet powerful enough, especially given the stark contrast between his embezzlement of huge sums of money and the image of him eating white noodles.

It was truly awe-inspiring.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xu Fan then spoke up: "In order to allow Mr. Zhou He to finish filming as soon as possible, let's all work together to complete all our scenes."

Xu Fan also played a role in this film.

Having searched everywhere but still unable to find a suitable person, Xu Fan had no choice but to step in himself.

But after all, he was a young man in his twenties.

To portray the feeling of Hou Liangping, the lead actor in this play, he had to wear heavy makeup.

So, after saying that, he continued, "Everyone get ready, let's start filming as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Xu Shan beside him and said, "Brother Xu, I've talked to you before. This time you'll be the assistant director. Is that alright?"

Xu Shan nodded and said, "I will not forget what I promised you, but there is also Director Qu. We will work together."

Director Qu is a national first-class director, and he was personally sent by Zhao Lao to assist Xu Fan this time.

Xu Fan knew this, so he smiled and said to Qu Fu very seriously, "Director Qu, I'll go get my makeup done first. After that, it's up to you guys."

Xu Fan directed and acted in this himself, but the footage and other details were still being watched.

Director Qu and Director Xu Shan became this role.

Xu Fan went to get her makeup done, and in order to perfectly recreate the character, Xu Fan had very high requirements for her makeup.

You must appear older but very composed.

After all, as a member of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, he holds an extraordinary position in a certain sense.

After a while, Xu Fan finally got everything sorted out.

When they arrived at the scene, everyone was stunned. Xu Fan's makeup was really unique and mature.

When Grandpa Zhou He saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod in admiration and said, "I have to say, this scene is indeed very good. So, shall we begin?"

Xu Fan simply said, "No problem. Let me reiterate the plot changes. Everyone should think carefully about the content and then, according to your own storyline, consider how to perform your roles well."

The crowd naturally echoed the expert's pronouncements, saying things like "No problem."

At this point, Xu Fan continued, "The story begins with Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, who is also the character I play, receiving a real-name report alleging that Zhao Dehan, the director of a certain national project office, and Ding Yizhen, the deputy mayor of a certain city in a certain province, are suspected of accepting huge bribes."

What everyone needs to pay attention to here is that Mr. Zhou He plays the role of Zhao Dehan, which is also the most important part. That's why we entrusted this part to Mr. Zhou He. Only by entrusting it to him can I feel at ease.

So what happens next is that, in order to prevent the relevant personnel from getting wind of the situation and escaping, while I am investigating Mr. Zhou He in Beijing, I also have Chen Hai, the director of the anti-corruption bureau of a certain province, played by Xu Shan, in the first scene. However, there is no problem with that.

But the objective was clear: to get Chen Hai to assist them in arresting Ding Yizhen, the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City.

As Xu Fan spoke, he glanced around.

At this moment, everyone was extremely quiet, listening intently to Xu Fan's speech. To be precise, Xu Fan was explaining the play to everyone.

As he explained how to act out the next part of the story, Xu Fan, seeing that everyone was listening attentively, felt inexplicably excited and moved. He continued, "Next, Hou Liangping led his men to search for Zhao Dehan in the residential area."

However, Zhao Dehan's status was different, so in order not to cause any disruption, we waited for more than two hours before Zhao Dehan's wife took his son to the tutoring class.

As we were leaving, we went upstairs to search Zhao Dehan's house. We searched Zhao Dehan's house thoroughly, but we didn't find any bribe money.

So, on camera, I had no choice but to show Zhao Dehan the office search warrant under the pretext of asking him to see the guest out, and to force him to cooperate with the anti-corruption bureau in searching the office.

This was indeed a last resort, but we must understand that this is also the most crucial point: the character played by Mr. Zhou He is eating here, and he's eating a simple bowl of noodles.

After saying that, Xu Fan said again, "That's roughly the plot. Now let's start filming."

===Chapter 703 This place looks familiar, doesn't it?===

"Start"

With a command given, filming for the first few episodes of the TV series "In the Name of the People" finally began.

From Ding Yizhen's departure to Chen Hai's commencement of the investigation.

The investigation begins with Hou Liangping, played by Xu Fan, who searches Zhao Dehan's home and eventually his office.

Every shot from every angle, every storyline, took shape little by little thanks to everyone's concerted efforts.

With each shift in camera angle and change in visual style, everyone was diligently striving to deliver a good performance.

Lu Yike, the director of the anti-corruption bureau of a provincial procuratorate, is played by Xiao Zihan. Xiao Zihan gave a remarkable performance in the previous movie "Dying to Survive", successfully crossing over from singer to excellent actress.

Meanwhile, at this very moment, Lu Yike, who was working on Xiao Zihan's experiment, was forcing her subordinates Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng to work overtime in the office in order to avoid a blind date.

Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng are naturally played by Leng Xiaogu and Zhao Yunyi respectively.

It has to be said that the three of them together do have a certain feel to them, especially their acting skills, which are all very impressive.

Whether it was their casual demeanor while working overtime or their somewhat helpless expressions, it was all evident in the two of them.

Lu Yike appeared extremely composed, and her expression was spot-on.

When Lin Huahua, played by Leng Xiaogu, complained to Lu Yike, Chen Hai, played by Xu Shan, received a call from Hou Liangping of Xu Fan Experiment, asking Lu Yike and the others to go with him to a certain international hotel to arrest Ding Yizhen, who was attending the Jingzhou Guangming Peak Project Development Coordination Meeting there.

After this simple deployment was completed, those who were already working overtime and feeling helpless understood the seriousness of the situation, but none of them complained, expressing a strong desire.

When Xu Fan's "Cut" rang out.

Xu Shan and the others stopped, and then they heard Xu Fan say seriously, "Not bad, not bad, this one, skip it. Now, let's continue."

After saying that, Xu Fan looked at Andy Lau in the distance and said, "Brother Lau, the role of Ji Changming depends on you, so whether you can find that feeling or not depends on you."

Andy Lau smiled and said, "I will do my best."

Even a top-tier actor like Andy Lau, whose acting skills are unparalleled, only said he would do his best, without confidently saying that there would definitely be no problem.

The camera resumed filming.

As Lu Yike and the others were about to leave, Ji Changming, played by Andy Lau, stopped them, firmly preventing them from taking any action against a deputy mayor on their own.

Ding Yizhen was no ordinary person, so Ji Changming couldn't let them take that risk.

Because the procedures from the Supreme People's Procuratorate had not yet been completed, the matter of arresting Ding Yizhen was of great importance and he dared not take any rash action. Therefore, he had no choice but to take Chen Hai to the Provincial Party Committee Office to discuss with Gao Yuliang, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, to cooperate with the Supreme People's Procuratorate's actions, while having Lu Yike and others keep an eye on Ding Yizhen.

Secretary Gao Yuliang was played by Mr. Yu Hezhi himself. When Gao Yuliang appeared, his acting skills were truly impeccable, and almost every scene was filmed in one take.

Soon, Xu Shan and others' scenes were technically completed.

Xu Fan smiled and said to Xu Fan, "Next, I'll act alongside the old man. These scenes are very important, so you must film them carefully."

Xu Shan patted his chest and said, "You can rest assured."

Xu Fan walked over and looked at Mr. Zhou He, saying, "Sir, I'll leave the rest to you."

The old gentleman said with a smile, "To be honest, after watching your acting just now, I was a little worried about whether I could act well. It's not easy to act opposite you."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

This statement clearly represents Mr. Zhou He's greatest recognition of Xu Fan.

The camera restarted, and Xu Shan stood in the director's seat.

Xu Fan and Grandpa Zhou He sat in a dilapidated old house, which was Grandpa Zhou He's home.

To be precise, it was at the home of Zhao Dehan, played by Mr. Zhou He.

In front of Zhao Dehan was a bowl of noodles and a few peeled garlic cloves.

He was enjoying his meal when someone suddenly spoke up: "Director Hou, the passbook was found in the bookshelf."
