I have a map editor

Her husband was surprised to hear this and asked, "Why are you laughing like that?"

"I think there's no need for you to regret it, because other people are probably the same as you. Do you see any stars in this movie? They are all newcomers and young actors. I also heard that..." Wang Fei kept the topic in suspense.

Her husband asked anxiously, "What else did you hear?"

"At first, the Time Traveler Company was very optimistic about this script, but they felt that it was not good for them to eat alone since they had just entered the industry, so they wanted to get everyone to invest in the filming. As a result... although everyone was embarrassed to say it so directly for the sake of Time Traveler Technology, they all rejected it. You can see it from the producer at the end of the film. In addition, they had already invited me to audition, but..."

She shrugged her shoulders. "...I just learned about this and went there after receiving a message strongly suggesting that I go over for an audition. Now it seems that I have gained more. These songs have the potential to be a big hit on their own. When combined with their film, you will know the performance effect for yourself."

Her husband nodded first, probably feeling happy when he thought that other stars like himself didn't get any benefit from this film. Then he almost laughed out loud when he heard that all the film and television companies in the industry didn't invest. Finally, he touched his chin and nodded in agreement when he thought about how it would help his wife's career and commercial value.

"Yeah...right, right."

……

Although Yang Sheng was somewhat surprised that "The Awakening Age" could spark discussion in Hong Kong, he had no doubt that it would become a big hit in the mysterious country around 06.

However, he is not sure whether domestic audiences of this era will buy into the later film, "Mountains and Seas".

However, with the huge success of "Awakening Age", the production company has already recovered the filming costs and made a small profit. After CCTV has reaped the benefits, it will be the turn of major satellite TV stations and local stations to broadcast it, and then it will be pure profit.

Taking advantage of the popularity of "Awakening Age", many actors in the drama also became famous. In addition, the young people in the director team increased their own fame and commercial value under the operation of the company, and arranged for them to participate in some interviews or variety shows.

Yang Sheng began to think about this year's shooting plan.

It was originally planned to be two series, but he spent a long time trying to decide on the content.

"Mountains and Seas" is fine, but when I look back and truly examine "Awakening Age", I find that the original selection and content of this drama were really carefully planned.

From the publication of "Youth Magazine" in 1915 to the establishment of "New Youth" as the official publication of a certain party in 1921, the play seems to be magnificent and tells a lot of things, but in fact it only tells historical stories of 6 years and uses the jokes of later generations. If it had been performed for a few more years, the golden images of many seemingly glorious and upright historical figures in the play would have been exposed.

The Beiyang government took the biggest blame, and it was not even the turn of the Nationalist government to step forward.

We dare not mention anything too serious or harmonious, let's just talk about the incident that Mr. Wu Hao described as "the Jiangnan case is an injustice that will last forever."

Many gentlemen have to bear historical responsibilities, not to mention many historical events that followed.

"Don't rely on the lightness of the phoenix tree in the world"

"There is a phoenix perched on top, singing by itself"

"The pomegranate blossoms are heavy on my temples"

"Famous in Chang'an City"

"I have a dream that no one has ever had before or since."

"Today I want the world to be with me"

"..."

When Yang Sheng was thinking, he usually stayed in his study on the second floor. The women in the family had recovered well from childbirth, so it was usually not his turn to take care of the babies. He had to specifically rush to do it.

When he was bored and took out his "cell phone" to check the situation around the house, he accidentally heard Emily and a few girls playing ancient music in the recording studio. Emily's clear and penetrating singing voice instantly hit Yang Sheng's aesthetic point, and he put on headphones to amplify the sound and listen.

"It seems to be the theme song of a character in a mobile game in Space Zero, Wu Zetian? "

"How about making the next TV series about Wu Zetian?"

"Forget about Liu Jialing, forget about Liu Xiaoqing, the Yang Guifei in Legend of the Cat Demon is still in elementary school... Hey? That Yang Guifei is not Wu Zetian, tsk tsk, she's out of the spotlight."

"Tang Army...I wonder if the Mo Dao Formation and the Black Armor Army will be able to make any progress?"

"The ancient costume war scenes that Lao Mouzi created in Heroes don't seem to be that good..."

"Speaking of which, the big-budget costume dramas, including the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, have good scenes and literary dramas, but the more detailed battle formations and martial arts scenes are all shortcomings. On the contrary, the Great Battle trilogy is very impressive, but it does not focus on depicting specific martial arts scenes like The Lord of the Rings, and many of the big scenes in The Lord of the Rings are copied from The Great Battle."

"Then make a costume drama with elaborate war and martial arts... New Three Kingdoms? Strange, why jump to the Three Kingdoms IP, but if I don't find Liu Jialing or Liu Xiaoqing to play Wu Zetian, then I can only find Sister Jinsuo, and when I think of her, I always recall the famous scene of Ma Zhen... So after all, making a New Three Kingdoms is the best option, right?"

"If we shoot a new Three Kingdoms, the cost of actors and props seems to be quite high... Hmm? The soldiers of the Wan Kingdom in the martial arts world are also ancient soldiers, and the government there seems to be very broken. Should we go there to have some fun with the corrupt officials and buy some ancient military supplies..."

"never mind……"

"Another one is "A Bite of China"? Food documentaries are also series, but it feels a bit early..."

Thinking of this, Yang Sheng wrote on the document on the computer screen: "The New Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Mysterious Kingdom on the Tip of the Tongue".

However, he raised several question marks about the latter.

……

After dinner, Liu Yifei had a training task in the evening, so she worked out in the gym with her assistant until nine o'clock. When she came up, she found that there was a light in the activity room that was used daily at home, so she pushed the door open to take a look.

It turned out that almost all the adults in the family were gathered here, except for a few who were looking after the babies in the nursery.

Because we usually get up very early the next day, the four little ones in the house usually go to bed early the day before, and now they are all asleep in their respective rooms.

No one had any special reaction to her joining. Xiaoling sat on the lazy sofa, waved to her, and naturally joined the team.

Liu Yifei saw a whiteboard with black marker writing on it:

"The New Romance of the Three Kingdoms"×.

"Empress Wu Zetian"×.

"The Glory of the Ming Dynasty"√.

"The Mysterious Kingdom on the Tip of Your Tongue"√.

Somewhat confused, he asked Sister Ling in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

"We discussed this year's filming plan. We have two TV series. One is set to be "The Story of Ming Dynasty". This drama uses smaller actors and scenes, mainly because it requires less effort in the script and post-production. The first two were too big, which would reduce the time for family reunion and baby care, so my sisters rejected it."

Well, when this family discusses such things, they never consider how much money it will cost as the criterion for implementation, but rather how much personal time it will take up. I don't know about "Empress Wu Zetian", but those related to the Three Kingdoms are generally big productions. However, perhaps only in this family would they be rejected because they involve too much personal energy.

I don't know what the script of "The Story of Ming Dynasty" is, but Liu Yifei couldn't imagine what kind of drama it would be.

"It's not appropriate to be a human trafficker, although there will always be a day like that, but you want Yifei to act in a romantic action movie with Jason Statham?"

"Uh... Although I understand what you mean, did you use the wrong words?"

“Just understand.”

"This kind of action-themed crime-related theme may help her open up new acting opportunities, but it is inconsistent with the national conditions of the mysterious country. People with skills like Jason Statham are basically monopolized by state-level violent agencies. The few talents who have left are either abroad or active on certain battlefields. From a propaganda perspective, the authorities probably don't want to have anything to do with them. Even if they make artistic processing based on reality, they will not allow this kind of criminal to become the winner in the end... Although Jason Statham may not be a criminal, he is definitely not a good person."

"Then how about we set the story in Thief of the Universe or District 11? It doesn't have to be the script of Traffickers, we can just change it to other similar scripts, such as Armed Assault, Iron Rain, Agents, etc. And we won't blacken them,

Just show some of their original things. In this regard, they are much better at making fun of themselves than we are."

"It doesn't seem to work. Unless we register a company locally, there are still considerations of etiquette, diplomacy and some special existence. If these people protest a little, our project will fail. But if we register a company locally, it will be considered a foreign language film... a foreign film, and it's still unclear whether we can get it back."

"Are costume films and anti-Japanese and anti-war films really the safest?"

"..."

Liu Yifei paused for a moment and realized that the boss and his family seemed to be discussing her script, and it was a movie script. She felt excited: Would nearly a year of hard study finally come in handy?

Although she didn't understand the words "romantic action movie", "The Transporter", and "Jason Statham", she understood the general meaning. Her boss and his family had tailored a script for her and asked her to play a role similar to that of 007 spy movies, but it was a female-themed movie and at least the role was set as a female protagonist. They were discussing this core.

"Why does it have to be the female fighter image from Hong Kong movies? This path is dead, right? I remember there were a few female fighters after Michelle Yeoh, and I think their last name was Xiong or something, but they all died violently, didn't they?"

"They should all have died because of the subject matter, right?"

“Why not break the stereotype and go for the tech-future style?”

"Are you talking about The Matrix? Let Yifei become Neo Yifei, and change her personality to become the savior? What are you going to do, Cuitini? Change your personality as well or keep it as it is, go with the dual female lead route, and then create a BL CP?"

"Danmei seems to be called Danmei only when there are two men, right? Two women are called Tietie or Baihe..."

0078

The time has come for May.

In fact, CCTV-1 has been transforming into a professional and authoritative current affairs channel in recent years, and has long begun to reduce the presence of TV dramas in their broadcast time. Instead, they have been replaced by some very influential column programs, such as XX Interview. If it were not for the high quality of the two dramas of "Time Traveler Entertainment" and in line with the propaganda direction of the mysterious country, they would most likely not be broadcast on Channel 1.

However, the performance of "Awakening Age" is really awesome. Not only did it break the ratings of recent years, but the publicity response was also unexpectedly good. Even Hong Kong, a patriotic desert, triggered a two-month public opinion. Although there is no 4G network these days, and there are not so many media or self-media paying attention to international public opinion, through the spontaneous exchanges of some netizens, there are also discussions about this drama in Nanwan Island, District , the universe's biggest thief country, the world's second largest Witnammu, and Southeast Asia.

The internal logic of small countries such as the Universe Thief Country, Vitnam, Malaysia, Johor, etc. is very simple. Although they are not part of the Chinese cultural circle, they are part of the Chinese cultural circle. Their own cultural attributes are weak, so they naturally admire the strong and have always been the objects of export.

Although the Great Thief Country of the Universe has formulated a plan to build a country based on culture, they have always been very weak in terms of serious culture and history. They have shot Li Shimin in one eye and made him kneel down to beg for mercy, or their own Sun King protected the mysterious country and the head of the mysterious country had to beg for an audience with their Sun King. Even American screenwriters would not dare to imagine such plots, but their screenwriters dared to do so.

It is no wonder that their popular entertainment and cultural industry was later cut in half by a restriction order, which indeed affected their IQ.

The entire Asia was a victim of District 11 back then, and they all have a common language in this regard. They may not get along with each other normally, but they can become friendly with each other when facing District 11... Yang Sheng knows a lot about why District 11 is discussing "Awakening Age". Because of the dog chain around their necks, the people of this country are extremely schizophrenic in their thinking.

For example, on the anonymous forums of 2ch or 5ch in later generations, there would often be discussion posts about whether to become the st state of the United States or the rd province of the mysterious country①. Of course, it is now the s, and the mysterious country is not as strong as in later generations, so there are more discussions about becoming the st state of the United States. As for the latter, some left-wing anonymous netizens discuss history from a third-party standpoint. There is no reflection on it, because some right-wing netizens in District believe that this was a symbol and manifestation of the strong in District at that time.

(①Note: The number of provincial administrative regions in the mysterious country is different in different periods. For example, the author is used to 31 or 32, but now the search on Baidu shows 34 or 36. Looking at the 2ch forum, netizens in District 30 subconsciously think that the number is 30. They are not very sensitive to the changes in our provincial administrative regions and still stay at the vague concept of provinces)

Of course, there are also some fans of District 11's fictional history who stand on the shoulders of history and believe that the government of that time should not have been like this or like that.

These aspects are more intuitive in the mysterious country. For example, the number of visitors to memorial halls in various places has soared. Some of them are collective activities organized by the government or schools and government agencies, but more of them are spontaneous acts of paying tribute to the dead.

After the scene in which Chen Qiaonian and Chen Yannian bravely died was broadcast, there was no saying that "the whole network broke down in tears" in those days, but statements like "the crying scene of the year" frequently appeared in some media, and flower baskets, speeches and candles sent by the public began to appear under the sign of Yanqiao Road.

How should I put it? Yanqiao Road has existed for many years. Official commemorative activities or previous film and television workers

Films and TV shows like this have been around for many years, but none of them have the same appeal as "Awakening Age". There are even reports that some people took planes or other means to send flowers to Yanqiao Road in the local area after watching "Awakening Age".

The term "phenomenal" has become popular these days. After more and more positive feedback appeared in local media and on the Internet, more and more media outlets commented that "Time Traveler Entertainment" has contributed a "phenomenal epic historical drama."

……

Yangshuping, the film and television shooting base of "Traveler Entertainment".

After giving all actors and crew members two months to "return home in glory" or appear in various promotional activities and TV variety shows to increase their own popularity and commercial value, all the contracted artists and crew members gathered again to prepare for the new year's shooting plan.

Over at the logistics and props group, because Yang Sheng is not satisfied with the quality and level of most of the ancient costumes and props of this era, he is working with the art group to refer to historical objects and modern aesthetics to re-produce a large number of costumes and props that are in line with the historical background of the Ming Dynasty.

Taking balance and commercial value into consideration, the director and screenwriter team of the previously hit "Awakening Age" took over the filming of "The Story of Ming Dynasty". They were arranging the actors and roles while familiarizing themselves with the script given by Yang Sheng.

The director team and screenwriter team of "Mountains and Seas" are responsible for the production of "A Bite of China". Although it feels a bit old, Yang Sheng and the women in the family discussed and believed that the latter still has the potential to be a big hit, and with excellent subtitles and translation, it will not be a problem to export to other countries.

After all, the main contradiction in the new mysterious country has long since changed from internal and external enemies to the common problem of modern countries - development and balance. The demand for high-quality cultural works such as "The Mysterious Kingdom on the Tip of the Tongue" that do not involve ZZ factors is an urgent need.

As for the remaining artists and actors, they were gathered together for physical and skill training. There are some movement and body requirements for wearing ancient costumes and performing behaviors. In addition, there will be some war scenes, and the relevant actors have to master some battle martial arts movements and horsemanship.

In this regard, Yang Sheng was willing to spend money and did not choose to save money. That is, only the upper body was shot. The actors were actually sitting on the saddle fixed to the vehicle. The full-body riding shots were edited or produced by post-production special effects. He directly contacted herders with large horse farms in Inner Mongolia and airlifted thousands of horses and people over.

There are hundreds of jockeys who teach horsemanship. In many film and television works, these people alone are enough to shoot many big scenes. Taking into account the cost of the horses and the money they spend on food and horses, a cost-saving director might be able to shoot a TV series of dozens of episodes without much watering down.

According to the filming requirements, an imitation ancient city wall was built around the old filming site of "Awakening Age" last year. The scale and specifications of the city wall are quite large, with a total of eight city gates. The style and style of each city gate are very different. For example, some have built a barbican, some have spent a lot of effort on the city gate tower, and some have built arrow towers and soldier caves on the city wall. When it comes to the actual filming, just change the name on the city gate to serve as a different city, and there will be no need to shoot on location across the country.

The city is also divided into three areas according to the central axis: Xuanwu in the north, Zhuque in the south, Baihu in the west, and Qinglong in the east. A high-quality building complex imitating the Ming Dynasty imperial palace, namely the Forbidden City, was built in the Xuanwu district. High-quality imitations of ancient gardens and official residences were built in the Qinglong district. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Small Wild Goose Pagoda and some residential areas including buildings from the Republic of China were built in the Zhuque district. A temple tentatively named "Xiangguo Temple" was built in the Baihu district.

By then, through the use of scenery or post-production special effects, the different buildings in these different areas can play the role of most of the backgrounds of ancient times.

Anyway, Yang Sheng designed and built this place with reference to a film and television base. Even if his own film and television company does not use it in the future, it can still attract other companies or crews that have filming needs.

In the mountains outside the city, Yang Sheng also built infrastructure to accommodate horses in an inconspicuous place to solve the problems of daily horse feeding and pollution.

……

"drive--"

"Uu——"

On a cleared space cleared by machines, Yang Sheng was training a "mount" that he was going to prepare for the main actor.

Although he has no experience in riding and swordsmanship, as a superhuman, designing horse combat actions is still his strong point. At the same time, as an "animal expert", he can also provide some "training" for horses. In addition to reducing the chances of accidents and dangers during actual filming of actors, it can also present better visual effects.

For example, he developed the "horse fighting technique", in which one rides on a horse and lets the horse kick its back and forth, thus achieving the effect of the human martial arts moves "turtle fist" or "chaotic cloak fist".

Those herdsmen who were hired along with the horses to serve as riding instructors originally sneered and disapproved of Yang Sheng: When it comes to how to ride a horse and how to fight on horseback, are there anyone more professional than them who still retain many primitive military programs in their pastoral life?

However, after watching how Yang Sheng rode horses, figured out fighting moves and trained horses, they shut up obediently, and after Yang Sheng finished his rehearsal, they themselves were also figuring out or imitating his moves and horsemanship.

In a few days, not only the actors and actresses who were receiving action and equestrian training, but also other people who had nothing to do came to watch. The director team also set up the camera

Help design fighting movements and riding postures from a third-party perspective.

Yang Sheng’s action and equestrian performances were both amazing.

The spearmanship on horseback (with a wooden spear, not the American style) may not have impressed the general audience much because there was no opponent, but the archery and horsemanship performances were quite amazing.

Not to mention that Yang Sheng could shoot continuously and hit the center of the target a hundred meters away while sprinting on horseback, and every arrow basically penetrated the wooden target. Just the metal hard bow he used was not enough for many people at the scene to pull it. Some herdsmen who had practiced riding and archery for many years could pull it, but they could not stably nod the arrow and shoot under such power output. With this skill alone, he conquered the herdsmen who were originally a little rebellious.

The horse fighting technique he figured out was even more unique. He would ride on the horse and let the horse kick and kick as it pleased. No matter whether it was its own kind or humans, a hit would cause bones and tendons to be broken. What was even more unique was that the originally gentle horses did not become irritable after this training. As long as other riders were skilled enough and mastered a few key points of the movements, they could also replicate the same "turtle punch" of the horse with a cloak.

This horse must have been trained by Yang Sheng himself. If it was a horse that had not been trained by him, it would not work. Other riding coaches themselves could not train such a horse.
