Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 177 Xia Yuan's Burning Move

As the saying goes, things always take a turn for the better. Xia Yuan didn't expect that Zhang Tianyu would appear when he needed her the most.

Zhang Tianyu didn't expect that he would actually get this opportunity, and it was precisely because of the state he was in during this period that he got this opportunity.

This made him even more confused and he didn't know what to say.

Perhaps we can also say that this might be what is called a coincidence?

In short, Zhang Tianyu cherishes the role of Gao Qiqiang very much, and he has made up his mind that he must play this role seriously!
He must not let Director Xia down!
Xia Yuan solved his biggest worry, and his mood instantly became better.

There is no doubt that although the protagonist of the entire drama "Kuang Da" is not Gao Qiqiang but the police officer An Xin, in fact, the most complicated and difficult role is still Gao Qiqiang. There are very few people who can adapt to him.

Of course, this does not mean that the actor who plays An Xin can be used casually. The role of An Xin is not difficult. It’s just that, relatively speaking, it is not as difficult as Gao Qiqiang.

But what is the reality? The character of An Xin is also very complex, with a very deep personality, and he also has multiple stages of change over a timeline spanning twenty years.

However, the character of An Xin is someone who has always maintained her persistence in justice since the beginning of the new story.

From the beginning, his goal has never changed, and he has always been a pure policeman.

It was so pure that Xia Yuan even thought that this kind of policeman didn't seem to exist.

He really has no selfish motives at all.

For the sake of the obsession in his heart, he even missed the person he loved, gave up everything, and was willing to stay in the most basic position for more than ten years.

In the end, even when his hair turned white and he grew old, he remained the same.

That's why it is said that compared to Gao Qiqiang, who has undergone many changes, the difficulty for him is relatively less.

But in fact, just as Xia Yuan said, there is not a single simple character in the whole play "Kuang Da".

Fortunately, after Gao Qiqiang's casting, the casting process for subsequent roles went extremely smoothly.

Soon, basically everything was confirmed.

Of course, when the role of Xu Jiang was chosen, there was actually a period of stagnation in the casting.

In the end, it was Xia Yuan who made the choice. To the shock of several directors who were watching and learning, he chose a comedy actor from a first-tier and two second-tier actors.
Facing their doubts, Xia Yuan's answer was also very simple. He just said very calmly: "Sometimes, comedians may not be unable to play the role of a boss. Similarly, not all bosses have to look ferocious."

Although they didn't understand, they were greatly shocked.

Soon, after the cast is confirmed, it will enter the next stage.

That is, after selecting the studio, we enter the shooting stage.

As for the set, there’s not much to say. For a TV series with an urban setting, it’s easy to find scenes.

While Xia Yuan was still looking for a film set, at the same time, on the other side.

The crew of Xie Daga's "Bright Sword: Thunder Warrior" has already started filming!

Yes! That's right! It's that fast! They've already started filming!

At this moment, the crew of "Thunder Warrior" was filming a scene. Xie Daga learned his lesson this time and did not continue to direct and act by himself, but honestly became a director.

After learning about Xia Yuan's life story, he made up his mind to become a director himself!
At this moment, he was directing: "Hey, good, light the cigar, good, very handsome, pay attention to the feeling!"

The scene is located in a very luxurious villa. Several leading actors in military uniforms are sitting at the table and holding a meeting.

"This is the decision of our military. We cannot allow Sanben to continue to act like this!"

After that, one of the leading actors picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and then frowned: "Tui, this coffee is getting harder and harder to drink, how did you make it?"

"Okay, click!" Xie Daga called out to stop: "Okay, this one is perfect!"

Damn, the more I watch, the more satisfied I am. How can he be so wise? How can he be so talented?
Now, my new drama must be a huge hit, right?

As for your own directing skills?
He thought that he and Xia Yuan were evenly matched!

Even worse!

Look, what does it mean to be a detail freak? He has done hard work. He knows that coffee and cigars existed during World War II, and the Hanxia Army also used them!
Is this sophisticated enough?

That's it. When it is released, won't a lot of people praise it for its weird details?
Just two words, take off! !

On the other hand, after several days of hard work, finally, the filming locations were all confirmed, all of which were local locations in Xinhai.

Logically speaking, the next step should be to start filming.

However, at this moment, Xia Yuan directly shook his head and rejected this proposal, and said directly: "Let's not start shooting yet, let's make some preparations first." The assistant director was a little confused: "Is there anything else that needs to be prepared?"

Now the actors are in place, the set is in place, everything is done.

As for the film sets, they chose places that could be found locally in Xinhai, so they didn't even have to travel to other places to film.

It’s just that some film sets were chosen in a special way.

For example, the scenes of the old factory street market and dormitory that appear throughout the film.

They chose an abandoned farmers' market in the old town of Xinhai.

It has been abandoned for a long time. The original plan was to demolish it and rebuild it into a new community, but before that happened, Xia Yuan found a developer and rented the place.

This kind of place still requires real scenes to achieve the best effect, which is not something that a film and television city can provide.

The developer naturally welcomed this kind of business that came to their doorstep, so they agreed to the request and rented the place to the crew.

Xia Yuan's idea naturally focused on this vegetable market.

"Next, let's not start shooting so quickly, let's get down to business first!" Xia Yuan announced.

"Doing business?"

"Director Xia, what does this mean? Lao Wang, do you understand?"

"No, I don't quite understand."

"I don't understand either."

When Xia Yuan said this, not only the crew members didn't understand, but the actors didn't understand either.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Aren't you supposed to be filming first? Why are you doing business now?
This has nothing to do with filming, right?
However, Xia Yuan said: "Let's revitalize this vegetable market first, and then, I hope that in this process, you can find the feeling of life, especially Teacher Zhang Tianyu."

Xia Yuan looked at Zhang Tianyu, who played Gao Qiqiang, and said, "I will contact the reservoir for you to get a batch of fish. During this period, you will kill them. You need to learn how to kill them. Then I will find you a real fishmonger. I hope you can maintain a gross profit margin of more than 20% every day. Can you do it?"

After that, Xia Yuan looked at everyone and said, "I hope you can make money in this market! When you make 10 yuan, we will start shooting!"

Xia Yuan said.

"what?"

For a moment, the crew heard a burst of exclamations.

Xia Yuan added: "Of course, actors who are not involved in the plot of the Old Factory Street Vegetable Market are not included."

"Oh~" All the crew members laughed again.

Xia Yuan added: "Then! Some actors, including An Xin's actor and Xu Jiang, Bai Jiangbo and other actors, especially sister-in-law Chen Shuting! Without my permission, you are not allowed to contact the three brothers of the Gao family, especially Gao Qiqiang's actor. It is strictly forbidden to exchange scripts privately!"

"Ah?" The actors in the crew started to scream again.

"But don't worry, this business process won't last more than a month." Xia Yuan continued, "And you have to wear costumes the whole time!"

"Oh~" the crew said "oh" again.

Xia Yuan looked at the time on his watch, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it, let's get ready and disband! Then, the director team, production team, and filming crew, come to my office for a meeting!"

Xia Yuan's office is the management office of the abandoned market, and it is quite shabby.

But Xia Yuan didn't mind. He tidied it up and used it as usual.

At this moment, the assistant director, two producers, and several photographers including the production director Liu Guang were looking at Xia Yuan in confusion.

They also didn't know what Xia Yuan was up to.

"Director Xia, we are in such a tight schedule, how can we start doing business first? What is the connection between revitalizing the market and filming?" asked the chief producer.

Xia Yuan smiled slightly: "When we are filming, the most important thing is the presentation. First of all, if we can dig out as many details as possible, we'd better dig out all the details. What we need is actors who can perform with flavor and soul, rather than just reading from the script and being puppets. Then..."

In fact, he still has a trick up his sleeve.

He looked at Liu Guang and said, "You can ask your crew to work harder these days. You can also ask the props team to cooperate and set up all the cameras in the market. But be careful to be concealed and don't be discovered."
