This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 336 The old man is pointing fingers at the young man again.
Dou Yong had not read the script for "Li Yannian, a Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts".

At first, he thought that this drama was a work that Lu Ran had just decided on at the last minute.

After all, according to Gao Yuhui, this drama only has six episodes at most.

How much content can be filmed in six episodes?

But after hearing Li Yannian's explanation of the soldiers' ideological work, Dou Yong's thoughts changed.

"If the final product of the entire series can reach this level, then the effect of this show will definitely be extraordinary."

For Dou Yong, the economic benefits this drama can generate are not important at all; what matters is the spirit it conveys.

This is cultural promotion.

Based on this speech alone, the name of their Red Star Art and Culture Center must be included in the end credits of this drama!
It would be a loss if their company's name wasn't included.

Thinking of this, Dou Yong couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Wait a minute, wasn't it a bit hasty not to select 'Soldiers' Assault' as a support project?"

Who says a movie with only men can't be good?

The filming of "Li Yannian, a Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts" has been going on for most of the day, and not a single female character has appeared yet. Isn't that quite interesting?

In an instant, Dou Yong felt a chill run through his body.

On his way back, Dou Yong quickly made a phone call to his subordinates at the center.

"Don't release the list of supported projects yet."

For the next twenty days or so, Lu Ran devoted himself entirely to the film set, completing the entire series of "Li Yannian, a Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts" in one go.

It's different from the last time I filmed "The Beginning".

The scenes in "The Beginning" are not complicated; the focus is on the performance.

War films are much more complex, requiring various explosions, special effects, pyrotechnics, and other elements to be coordinated with the actors' performances.

Lu Ran was like a sponge, honing his acting skills while filming and learning the filming techniques, learning through practice.

On the last day, Lu Ran wore his military uniform, which was filthy, and his face was covered with various black ash and bloodstains.

In the darkness, the flames of war burned all around.

Lu Ran stared at the corpse on the ground with a look of grief on his face.

That was the corpse of a document.

In the story, the clerk initially didn't know how to fight, but just wanted to go to the battlefield. Later, when he arrived on the battlefield, he was so scared that he wet his pants.

He had a merit book in his hand, which recorded the honors of each soldier.

In his final moments, he overcame his fear and fought bravely against the enemy, ultimately sacrificing his life on the battlefield.

Lu Ran took off the document's glasses and helped him close his eyes.

"Xiao Wang, you are an excellent soldier, brave in battle, and skilled in both military and academic subjects. Your deeds have been recorded by the instructor."

Lu Ran took the notebook out of the document. On the latest page of the notebook, the document's own name was written.

Knowing he was about to sacrifice himself, the clerk had already written his name on it beforehand.

Lu Ran was about to shed tears of grief, but there was no time for grief.

Because the enemy has already made a new move.

Liu Dayong shouted, "Cut!"

This put the entire crew at ease.

"I hereby declare filming wrapped!"

Everyone on the crew was exhausted during this period of filming.

Besides the fact that acting itself is quite complicated, you have to wear specific makeup every day.

Lu Ran walked over to Liu Dayong, who smiled and said, "The rest of the work is up to you."

Once this work is done, Liu Dayong will seamlessly transition to joining the production team.

Filming for "Soldiers Sortie" is about to begin.

After experiencing this scene, the actors in "Soldiers Sortie" gained a deeper understanding of their identities as soldiers.

"Go ahead and do your work, the rest is no trouble."

This film doesn't use many post-production special effects; the explosion scenes were all done on set using special effects pyrotechnics.

During filming, rough editing was already underway, so the remaining editing work was not difficult.

Back at the hotel that evening, Lu Ran called Qin Yue.

"How's your practice of that song I gave you going?"

Qin Yue said nervously, "I'm not sure how well I'm doing. I'm not sure when you're going back to the company."

If it were any other song, Qin Yue would have sung it without a second thought.

However, not long after filming began for "Able to Martial Arts and Literature," Lu Ran gave her a song. It was a patriotic song, and according to Lu Ran, the creator simply let it happen naturally.

Qin Yue practiced again and again, but no matter how well she sang, she still felt she couldn't sing it well.

Since Teacher Shunqizi wasn't coming to the company, Lu Ran had to make the decision.

"I'm going back to the company tomorrow."

The song that Lu Ran gave to Qin Yue was intended to be used in "Li Yannian, a Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts", and would be placed at the end as the ending theme.

The next day, Lu Ran set off back to Qincheng to begin the fine-tuning of "Li Yannian, a Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts".

Meanwhile, Xu Gaomin's film "Nameless River" has already started its promotional campaign.

The movie will be released on May 1st.

In the past few days, he and several of the main actors in the movie have been participating in offline promotional activities in various places.

As a film about the war that led to the founding of the nation, "The Nameless River" has undoubtedly attracted widespread attention from society.

Given this special year and Xu Gaomin's own fame, related news can be found online almost every day.

Xu Gaomin himself was very pleased.

On this day, during the Q&A session of the promotional event for "Nameless River",...

A reporter asked, "Director Xu, as far as I know, Lu Ran recently started filming a project called 'Li Yannian, a Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts,' which shares the same historical background as 'Nameless River.' What are your thoughts on this?"

Standing next to Xu Gaomin in the audience, Su Weilun pricked up his ears.

He was tormented by "The Earth Trainee" during this period, and this variety show was closely related to Lu Ran.

"Director Xu, you really need to give Lu Ran a good talking-to," Su Weilun thought to himself.

In the realm of domestically produced patriotic war films, Lu Ran is like a primary school student compared to Xu Gaomin.

Xu Gaomin smiled faintly: "I want to say something. Mainstream themes can be made into good film and television works, but are mainstream themes necessarily good film and television works? I don't think so. At this time of year, many people in the industry have rushed to launch some mainstream themes projects. This idea is very immature and has the suspicion of riding the wave. I hope that young people in the industry can be less impetuous and more sincere, and not use the name of mainstream themes to gain traffic for themselves."

By the time the event ended, the video of the interview had already gone viral online.

Immediately, the internet was filled with various discussions.

It's obvious that Xu Gaomin was referring to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran is too impetuous.

"I checked, and Lu Ran's drama has already finished filming. From preparation to now, it's only been two months. Is the thing produced in such a short time just trying to ride the coattails of someone else's popularity?"

"Really? How could Lu Ran do something like this?"

"Then tell me, what good stuff can you produce in such a short time? Why doesn't Lu Ran polish the script properly and film it seriously?"

How do you know the script wasn't properly polished?

This sparked another round of discussion among netizens.

If it were any other celebrity, they would be torn apart by netizens if Xu Gaomin said something like that.

After all, what kind of person is Xu Gaomin?

But if it were Lu Ran, the effect wouldn't be as good.

Lu Ran's public persona is so solid that many people don't believe he would do something like trying to ride on someone else's popularity.

This prevented Xu Gaomin's move from achieving its intended effect.

Inside the editing room of Chang'an Entertainment.

Lu Ran went through the final cut one last time.

After several days of editing, the post-production team completed the entire series.

"It's ready for review. Let's show it to Gao Yuhui first."

Lu Ran sent the finished video to Gao Yuhui and then picked up his phone to check the news online.

On the trending topics list, a topic was prominently displayed: Xu Gaomin criticized Lu Ran for being too impetuous.

"what's the situation?"

Lu Ran clicked in and understood the situation.

"The old man is starting to criticize the young people again."

However, Lu Ran was not flustered at all.

We might as well capitalize on this trend.

He directly edited a Weibo post and sent it out.

"Let me give you an update. The production of 'Li Yannian, a Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts' is now complete and will be released soon. You'll see how good it is once you see it."

I don't know about other things, but Lu Ran has a general idea of ​​what "Nameless River" will look like.

Xu Gaomin is good at making war films; he has the skill of a great director.

But there is one major problem: he doesn't understand these most lovable people; he doesn't understand why our soldiers were able to win back then!
