Chapter 439: Shanhai Film and Television

After considering it for two days, Zhou Hao finally accepted the suggestion of taking action himself.

Firstly, it was really hard to find a suitable candidate, and secondly... Lin Xina also expressed a similar opinion indirectly - it would be a bit weird to let her act out a love scene with Cao Xing.

If the leading male role Cao Xing really needs to be replaced, then at this stage he will have to take over.

Save time and worry, no need to worry about any unexpected problems.

And as Cao Xing said, he and Lin Xina have already developed a tacit understanding of cooperation, so this second collaboration should be much smoother.

The only thing that made him unhappy was... he had to appear on stage again.

Three days later, "Those Years" officially started filming.

Most of the scenes in this play were set in schools, so the crew specially found an old school that had just moved in Ning City, and also invited students from a vocational high school not far away to make guest appearances.

It can be considered an authentic scene setting.

Originally, Zhou Hao was worried that it might be a bit awkward for an "uncle" like himself to play a high school student.

As a result, when he walked out of the dressing room wearing his high school uniform, the entire crew's eyes lit up and there was a burst of exclamations.

Cao Xing even said directly: "Brother, if you had not gone to teach but debuted directly, you would have been able to dominate the entire idol track!"

The people around nodded in agreement.

Because this is not flattery, but the unanimous opinion of everyone.

Zhou Hao’s current appearance may not be considered “earth-shattering”, but he definitely deserves to be called a handsome guy.

And he's not that kind of sissy handsomeness that's hard to tell whether he's male or female. Instead, he's handsome with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a traditional oriental beauty.

Once she put on the high school uniform, she didn't look old at all and instead looked youthful and sunny.

Even the photographers at the scene couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, it was really a waste of talent to be a director behind the scenes with such conditions...

The male lead is in place, and all preparations for the entire crew have been completed.

It was sunny in the afternoon of April 4th.

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years, first scene, first shot, start!"

Snapped!
The crisp and loud sound of the clapperboard kicked off Zhou Hao's film career.

…………

While Zhou Hao started to work on the online movie, Shanhai Film and Television was also busy preparing for this year's blockbuster drama "The Undocumented Crime".

Last year, three online dramas became huge hits in a row, which made Shanhai Film and Television prosperous for a whole year. The company’s facade is now shining brightly!
In previous years, they were doing quite well in the field of traditional TV dramas, but they obviously could not reach the level where they can call the shots like they do now.

The person who created all this was undoubtedly Zhou Hao.

But now, Zhou Hao has parted ways with them, and "The Undocumented Crime" will be the first independent work produced by Shanhai after the breakup.

Liu Wei is considered a veteran in the field of TV dramas, but he always felt something was off during the entire preparation process.

He himself knew very well where this discomfort came from - without Zhou Hao in the crew, he felt a little uneasy.

In the three hit works last year, Zhou Hao played a different role in each of them.

In "Day and Night", Zhou Hao only played a small supporting role, and his other identity is the screenwriter. He directed and acted in "The Beginning", which can be regarded as a work in which he truly took the lead.

He did not appear in Nirvana in Fire, but was listed as a producer...

Although his identities seem to be diverse, he actually undertakes the same task in these three works - to control the direction of the work so that the director does not go astray and run wild.

For example, in the drama "The Beginning", if he hadn't stopped the female director from making trouble and finally directed the filming himself, who knows what the drama would have become in the end?

Now, without Zhou Hao's supervision, Liu Wei always feels a little uneasy, fearing that his fine-tuning and on-the-spot changes will lose the original essence of the script.

He had never encountered such a situation of worrying about gains and losses in his previous directorial career.

And this situation did not only occur in him, even the entire Shanhai Film and Television people suffered from the same symptoms.

The reason is simple - last year's great success has also turned into pressure to some extent.

Now the entire circle is openly praising Shanhai Film and Television, but... competitors are enemies, so how can there be any real friendship in this circle?

These colleagues who kept congratulating me might be cursing me in private.

Once Shanhai shows signs of failure, they will definitely be the first to jump out and add insult to injury...

Shanhai Film and Television already feels a bit lonely at the top and can’t afford to lose!
"Alas, why did he have to break up with Penguin?" Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh several times, "If he could be in the crew... even if he just sat there and didn't say anything, I would feel more confident."

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now." Guo Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Besides, it's not like you won't be able to work without him. Just shoot at your own pace. If it doesn't work...if you have a chance, just invite him over for dinner and ask him for some advice."

"That's the only way." Liu Wei put out the cigarette in his hand. "I'll leave this task to you. You're familiar with him, and your apprentice is in his crew, so it will be easier to contact him."

Guo Chen did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

In fact, he had not originally planned to take on the role in "The Undocumented Crime", although he really liked the script, but without Zhou Hao's personal presence, he always felt a little unsure.

Unable to resist Liu Wei's repeated invitations, he finally accepted the role of Yan Liang.

His career has finally shown signs of revival, and he doesn't want to suffer another setback with "The Undocumented".

If I have a chance, I will definitely consult Zhou Hao...

Having talked about this, the two of them suddenly fell silent in tacit understanding.

Because both of them discovered something ridiculous - based on their work experience and qualifications, they could both beat Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao, who had only been in the industry for two years, was like an elementary school student in front of them.

However, in fact, this elementary school student has quietly left an irreplaceable mark in their hearts and has become the backbone of their subconscious...

Without him, the whole crew just wouldn't be the same.

After holding it in for a long time, Liu Wei suddenly cursed: "Damn it, I'm going to quit after this movie. I'm going to work with him too."

Guo Chen chuckled, "Take me with you. Zhang Yunfeng has tried acting in a TV series, and I also want to try acting in a movie."

Liu Wei nodded, "Okay, but let's finish filming this drama first. Such a good script can't be wasted!"

Just when "The Undocumented Crime" was about to start filming, a shocking news shocked the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

"Nirvana in Fire" was a success overseas and sold at a sky-high price!
