Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the north building, pass by the brokerage company.

    A group of actors from "The Swordsman" are practicing hard and sweating profusely under the guidance of martial arts masters such as Cheng Xiaodong and Zhao Jian.  As the director of this play, Qin Tianzhu went to visit and encourage him when necessary.

    Zhao Jian is Zhang Ji¡¯s old partner, action director, and Zhang Bearded¡¯s right-hand man. He is currently assisting Cheng Xiaodong in the martial arts work on the crew of "The Swordsman".  Qin Tianzhu has collaborated with him in "Spring Splendid", and the two are no strangers.

    He is currently instructing actor Tan Guoqiang to do some basic martial arts training.

    Tan Guoqiang plays the role of Ren Woxing in "The Swordsman".  Originally, the crew did not arrange for Tan Guoqiang to play this role, but he requested to participate.  Naturally, the crew welcomed such a veteran actor's request to perform.

    Qin Tianzhu couldn¡¯t bear to see Tan Guoqiang, who was nearly 50 years old, still doing hard splits under the guidance of Zhao Jian.  "Teacher Tan, why do you suffer this crime with young people? You can't do it?"

    The crew took into account that this drama has strict requirements on physical movements and other aspects, and all actors without foundation must undergo a month-long assault training in martial arts.  When choosing older roles, actors with martial arts skills or good physical flexibility are generally considered.  Therefore, although Tan Guoqiang had a good cooperation with Meihua Media in the previous drama, he was not the chosen target for this drama.  With Tan Guoqiang's status in this industry, he doesn't need to care about the role of Ren Woxing.

    After Tan Guoqiang took a breath, he replied: "Men. They all have a bit of a martial arts complex. Do I have one too?"

    This was somewhat expected by Qin Tianzhu.  In his impression, Mr. Tan Guoqiang is used to playing serious political figures, so he would not be interested in martial arts dramas.  "Teacher Tan, would people of your age be interested in Jin Yong dramas?"

    "Isn't it strange? The chief producer of our crew, Zhang Dabeard, doesn't have the same martial arts complex as me? For me, this is fulfilling a dream I had when I was young. It's worth suffering a little and being tired. Quan Dang  It¡¯s time to exercise.¡±

    Hearing what he said, Qin Tianzhu's expectations for the ratings of "The Swordsman" have increased a lot. Jin Yong drama should also be regarded as a drama suitable for all ages!

    In addition to Tan Guoqiang, those training in the practice room include Wei Zi, who plays Yue Buqun, and Wang Ziwen, who plays Zuo Lengchan, as well as several male and female protagonists.

    The male protagonists are Chen Kun and Yu Shaoqun, and the female protagonists include Xu Qin, Li Xiaoran, Cheng Hao, Shen Aojun, Zuo Xiaoqing and others.  Wu Zhi only requires senior actors such as Tan Guoqiang, Wei Zi and Wang Ziwen to complete some basic skills training.  The requirements for these young actors are quite demanding, and they are literally practicing to death.  Not only were the actresses shouting and screaming while training, but the two male actors Chen Kun and Yu Shaoqun were also so tired that they stuck out their tongues.

    Cheng Xiaodong shouted at the top of his lungs: "My body is not up to standard and my movements are not in place. If my physical fitness cannot improve, the days of the training camp will never end!"

    Among the protagonists, except for Chen Kun and Shen Aojun, the others are all new artists who signed with the company because of the drama "The Swordsman".  Tan Guoqiang is not an artist under Plum Blossom, he has a high status in the world.  Unable to be constrained by the company, he is still a free agent.

    Considering that several of the leading actors in this drama are not very familiar to me.  Qin Tianzhu got close to them.

    At Wu Zhi¡¯s request, Zuo Xiaoqing bent down, touched his toes with both hands, and folded his body.  Qin Tianzhu walked to her and squatted down, sighing: "Sister Qing, are you exhausted? This kind of training is too intense. How can you delicate women endure it!"

    Zuo Xiaoqing was not familiar with Qin Tianzhu, so he replied shyly: "It doesn't matter, it's a martial arts drama, I understand. I'm just worried. I wonder if I can ask the director?"

    "Sister Qing, I am a very easy-going person. If you have any questions, just ask them. Don't hide them."

    Zuo Xiaoqing asked cautiously: "I know that the company has extremely strict requirements for the production of film and television works. I play the role of Yilin. I would like to know if the crew will ask me to do that?"

    She gestured with her hair, and then looked at Qin Tianzhu hopefully.

    It turns out that I couldn¡¯t bear to part with the three feet of black hair on my head!  Qin Tianzhu didn't have the intention to cut this beautiful woman into a bald head. What a disgraceful sight it would be!

    He said with a serious face: "The production of the company's film and television dramas is of course extremely rigorous and serious, and nuns have to shave their heads!" When Zuo Xiaoqing heard this, he immediately grimaced.

    Qin Tianzhu's expression immediately changed, and he said with a smile of relief: "However, since it is Miss Qing who begged me, then naturally everything is easy to discuss. The nun in our drama does not shave her head, but wears her hair to practice, and she also has to keep it."I dress up beautifully!  "

    Zuo Xiaoqing¡¯s pretty face was indeed brightened with joy.

    Qin Tianzhu¡¯s idea must be abided by the company¡¯s strict filming discipline. If filming a Qing Dynasty drama, the actor must shave his head. This is non-negotiable.  Meihua Media is a film and television company with strict rules and regulations, so you must have integrity!

    He won the favor of the beauties, and he felt quite beautiful in his own mind. He was so excited that he flirted with other beauties, and the distance between the director and the actors was shortened a lot.  He finally came to Li Xiaoran, because she had practiced the most exaggerated form. She turned her whole body backwards and touched her heels with both hands. Qin Tianzhu was surprised. Is she doing jujitsu?

    Qin Tianzhu said angrily: "It's too cruel, it's too cruel. How can you treat a beautiful woman like this! What if you fail in practice?"

    After Li Xiaoran finished practicing a set of movements, he put away his body. Hearing Qin Tianzhu's concern, his heart was very warm.  But he reassured Qin Tianzhu that he didn't have to worry about him.

    "Director, I practice dance, I can stick to these moves!"

    Qin Tianzhu replied righteously: "Even those who practice dancing cannot train people to death!"

    "I feel really bad. I really can't stand it anymore. No, no, I have to tell Director Cheng and ask him to lower the difficulty of your training!"

    He walked up to Cheng Xiaodong and said in a sincere tone: "Director Cheng, let's reduce the amount of training for the actors. Although they are all young people, they can't help but go through such trouble. Of course, of course, I know that you are always strict.  , is meticulous about work and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.

    "I beg for mercy for the actor, but you won't agree, right?"  Hey, I knew it.  I knew it would be like this!  I deeply admire Director Cheng's professionalism.  But I have always been a soft-hearted person, so I don¡¯t want to see my actors, especially actresses, suffer.

    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯d better leave first, lest I, the director, feel uncomfortable seeing the beauties suffering.  "

    Qin Tianzhu finished speaking.  Without looking back, he hurriedly left the artist agency, leaving Cheng Xiaodong with a stunned expression on his face.

    How good people let him do it, but I didn't have a chance to say a word!

    Cheng Xiaodong looked at the young actors around him, especially the new artists from Plum Blossom Company, and was deeply moved.  It seems that everyone regards me as a martial arts instructor as a villain.

    What an injustice!  You need to be able to do whatever you want in the sky and on the earth in the play.  Without the guarantee of physical strength, how can you persevere in the pain of hanging Wia? In order to make martial arts movements free and elegant, if you don't train your body, can the movements look good?  I am following Director Xiao Qin's request to train you to death like this.

    Cheng Hao pushed Xu Qin¡¯s shoulder.  He sighed: "Director Xiao Qin is so kind and takes good care of us actresses."

    Xu Qin replied: "As an actor, I think this pain is bearable. Maybe it's because the director is young and soft-hearted!"

    Yu Shaoqun asked Chen Kun beside him: "Is Director Qin always so soft-hearted?"

    "Well, Director Qin does seem to be a kind-hearted person!" Chen Kun felt that it was necessary to maintain a good image for Director Xiao Qin in front of the newcomers.

    "But he is actually a black-hearted capitalist at heart, so brothers and sisters, wake up!"

    As a veteran of the company, Shen Aojun couldn't bear these innocent newcomers to be deceived, so he finally spoke up to save them.

    In terms of newspaper public opinion and entertainment news these days, the focus is still on "The Swordsman" that Qin Tianzhu is preparing to film.  The media is full of news about the cast members of "The Swordsman", with lots of discussions and various speculations.

    Qin Tianzhu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the news in the media.  What a great trick to have a big beard!  In fact, the main roles have already been decided, but Zhang Dabeard did a good job of keeping it secret while releasing true and false information, creating good news.  He didn't pay much attention to these matters. He left the Jin Yong drama to Zhang Ji, leaving it up to Zhang Dabeard. He only had to do his job as a director.

    Another focus of media attention on "The Swordsman" is the large purchase order for the TV soundtrack.

    With a budget of 15 million yuan, it is enough to produce a mid-level TV series in China today. Is Meihua Media just using it to purchase the TV soundtrack for a TV series?  When did domestic TV music become so valuable?

    Thanks to the promotion and stimulation of Meihua Media, the level of domestic TV drama production has improved significantly, but this improvement is mainly reflected in scripts and pictures, and the increased investment of producers is also mainly invested in these two aspects.  There has been no significant increase in investment in film and television music.  GeneralFor a TV drama, being able to compose a theme song is already very sincere.  As for the creation of film and television soundtracks, it is extremely rare. That is to say, the two dramas "Wife" and "Love" in 1998 left a deep impression on people in the production of film and television music.

    Does this move by Meihua Media mean that they will invest heavily in film and television music in the future in order to further improve the quality of the series?

    Of course, many media scoffed at this news. Isn¡¯t Plum Blossom Music still your own wholly-owned subsidiary?  There is nothing worth shouting about about the business of pouring money from the left hand into the right hand. Most of them are just speculating on the news!

    Meihua Media did not let them speculate for too long. In the following days, the company successively released several pieces of news to the media.

    "The first part of "Decision of Destiny" has 30 episodes, with an investment of 1.8 million per episode, of which 6 million budget is used for the purchase of TV original music, and orders are open to domestic music colleagues!"

    ""Full House" has 20 episodes, with an investment of 1.2 million for each episode, of which 3 million of the budget is used for the purchase of TV original music, and orders are open to domestic music colleagues!"

    "Meihua Media will give priority to purchasing TV series with outstanding performance in TV soundtracks for overseas distribution!"

    Now, the media all know that Meihua Media is serious.  Plum Blossom is consciously increasing the weight of TV soundtracks in TV production fees.  And their music purchase is open to the whole country, which is great.

    Long live!  Applaud Meihua Media.

    The domestic music industry is delighted and praises Meihua Media!

    When Zhou Jiapeng came to Qin Tianzhu¡¯s office, Qin Tianzhu was grinning and reading the praises of Meihua Media¡¯s move in the media.  In addition to praising Meihua Media's contribution to the domestic music industry, the media also praised Meihua Media for significantly increasing its investment intensity in TV series after making money.  I think this will be very helpful to improve the overall quality level of domestic dramas.

    Zhou Jiapeng said: "We can't just listen to the good words in the media. The cost of the company's drama series has increased so fast, and not all of it has been used to improve the quality of the series!"

    The company¡¯s five TV series this year have an average investment of 1.5 million per episode.  The reason why it has improved so quickly is that in addition to the company's investment in the quality of the series, a large part of it has been eaten up by the sharp increase in labor costs.

    "Prison Break" is a global hit, and the exciting domestic TV drama market is adding fuel to the fire. New film and television companies are established every day across the country, and the State Administration of Culture and Industry, which has so many projects, simply cannot review them.

    There are many projects, but the number of film and television talents cultivated in China is limited.  This contradiction has greatly pushed up the prices of various film and television behind-the-scenes talents and actors.  At present, the most valuable person in the country is Liu Yi. Because he has now gained global fame, the price for him has soared to 300,000 yuan per episode.  Film and television talents from Hong Kong and Taiwan are also heading north and west to chase this wave of TV drama craze.

    Even so, it still cannot satisfy this wave of talent shortage in the country.

    Although many of Plum Blossom Media's dramas use internal talents within the company, the market for external talents has increased rapidly, and the company has to follow the market and increase prices.

    Qin Tianzhu couldn¡¯t help but reply: ¡°With the market situation like this, there¡¯s nothing we can do. Besides, our company¡¯s dramas are highly profitable and we are fully capable of digesting them!¡±

    Zhou Jiapeng was just feeling a little emotional about the current talent shortage. He came today to tell Qin Tianzhu something else.

    ""Looking for Qin" is about to be broadcast on Chengrong Network. I hope it will not disappoint us. On Chengrong Network now, other domestic dramas have received a mediocre response, and we rely on our company's self-produced dramas to support it."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "He will definitely not disappoint!" Qin Tianzhu was full of confidence in this.
