From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

While the discussion about this drama is in full swing on the Internet, the crew of "The Beginning" is filming nervously in Xiamen.

Although it is said to be "shooting and broadcasting at the same time", in fact, even when operating this mode in Japan, South Korea and even Europe and the United States, most of them will shoot one-third or more of the episodes in advance to prepare for emergencies.

What's more, the mainland also has censorship features, so before it starts broadcasting, the finished film must be in stock.

Just like many authors who rush to the market and always say that they are out of stock, the current code of Barabala is actually very stupid and hides the manuscript.

Of course, some pigeons are not included in this list. They may really have no manuscripts, and often think that other authors are just like it, and they are still happy. In the end, the clown is only itself.

Therefore, the filming time before the premiere of "The Beginning" cannot be said to be very loose.

Even if there is inventory, after the official launch, the pressure of updating two episodes a week will not be too easy.

So this is also the reason why Ding Zhi gives priority to newcomers and veteran actors with little traffic when selecting roles, because they have no schedule pressure.

Moreover, this model also breaks the previous shooting process based on the principle of "convenience". That is to say, according to the previous shooting and editing and then broadcasting, all the scenes in the same scene are usually shot together.

In this way, manpower and material resources can be saved to the greatest extent.

The "shooting and broadcasting" mode forces the crew to film in the order from beginning to end of the script.

"The Beginning" opens with a big scene, that is, an explosion scene.

In other words, in fact, every episode in the script of "The Beginning" has explosions throughout.

In order to present a realistic effect, the crew specially found a bus or an oil tanker to conduct real burning, but the scene was placed in the wilderness. In the later stage, the real and fake were combined, and the real burning and special effects explosion were combined.

Together, this can be regarded as the largest special effects expenditure for the crew of "The Beginning".

As soon as Ding Zhi entered the picture, director Li Wenfeng, who was next to the monitor, smiled unconsciously and sighed with a "tsk" sound.

"What's going on? Is there any problem?"

The assistant director next to me was a little confused.

"Brother Zhi is still Brother Zhi, his acting skills are getting more and more sophisticated."

The assistant director looked at the monitor with some confusion, as if he was confused.

Li Wenfeng shook his head, still staring at the picture on the monitor, and did not explain too much.

As one of Ding Zhi's longest collaborators so far, he has directed it since "Peeping". After nearly four years, Ding Zhi once again played the role of a policeman. Perhaps he was the only one present who could see that Ding Zhi

How terrible is Zhi's progress?

In movies and TV dramas, if a character does not wear a white coat, most viewers cannot tell that he is a doctor at a glance.

And if a character is added without a police uniform, it is also difficult to tell at a glance that he is playing a policeman.

Uniforms, in many cases, are actually a "hint" of identity, making the audience realize, "Oh, so this is what he does."

Once the clothes are lost, the average actor has to create that effect through dialogue and language.

But Ding Zhi is different. From the moment he appears in front of the camera, he vaguely reveals a very obvious temperament and message - this person is a police officer.

This is actually an indescribable temperament.

Just like friends who are "lucky" to be interrogated by an old detective, they may be able to feel what that "mild" oppression feels like.

At this time, even if Ding Zhi was wearing plain clothes, he could make this "professional characteristic" shine through at a glance.

This is actually very inconspicuous, but as a director, Li Wenfeng knows how rare this quality is.

This kind of transitional scene is a small scene for both Ding Zhi and Qing Hailu, who plays the police chief. To be on the safe side, the tease was passed directly after two lines were saved.

Then comes the transition.

And classmate Zhao Xiaodi finally had her first scene with her idol.

It has to be said that even Li Wenfeng, although he has seen monsters like Ding Zhi, but when he meets a girl like Zhao Xiaodi, he has to sigh that now is really the age of young people.

In addition to having great talent and being able to completely catch Ding Zhi's level of output during the audition, the little girl has also done enough homework in private.

Li Wenfeng had seen her small notebook, which was filled with her analysis of the script and understanding of the characters.

He also vaguely heard that Zhao Xiaodi was already negotiating with his company about signing a contract, and he couldn't help but feel that his boss was not only good at acting, but also very capable, and he also had a good eye for seeing people.

"Teacher Ding..."

During the preparations, Zhao Xiaodi, whose head was wrapped in gauze, came forward timidly and looked at Ding Zhi.

Later there will be an "interrogation" scene between Ding Zhi and her.

"Hey, Xiao Di, do you want an autograph?"

"Ah? Okay! Hey, no, I'm not here to ask for an autograph!"

"Oh? It looks like this."

"No, Teacher Ding, I want to sign, but not now..."

"Hahaha, I won't tease you anymore, tell me, what's the matter?"

Ding Zhi looked at Zhao Xiaodi at this time, and suddenly thought of why Dawen liked to tease him so much when he was on the set of "Cold War 2".

It turns out it’s really fun to amuse the kids.

However, at that time, he was far less ignorant and cute than Zhao Xiaodi at this time. Instead, he was a bit "fierce". (This is of course what he thought. Wen Yongshan once laughed at Zou Yutong when chatting with him. He just met Ding Zhi.

It feels like he is like a two-legged guy.)

And Zhao Xiaodi also took out her "secret weapon", a notebook filled with dense notes.

"Teacher Ding, the script here says there is a difference between the third cycle and the fourth cycle when you wake up..."

When Zhao Xiaodi became serious, he put aside his shyness and embarrassment and began to ask for advice seriously.

Speaking of which, with Ding Zhi's actor-level attainments, he is indeed enough to teach new actors like Zhao Xiaodi.

What's more, the rumor that Ding Zhi is good at training actors is not a secret.

Soon, when the official filming began, Zhao Xiaodi finally experienced Ding Zhi's amazing acting skills firsthand when playing the opposite role.

To be honest, before this, because of Ding Zhi's dazzling aura and his mentality when facing his idol, Zhao Xiaodi always felt involuntarily timid when facing Ding Zhi.

Especially during the audition, the look in the eyes of "Ding Zhi's version" Guo Auntie was still fresh in Zhao Xiaodi's memory.

But after the filming officially started, Zhao Xiaodi was once again amazed by Ding Zhi's miraculous ability, as if he were a different person.

Zhang Cheng, played by Ding Zhi, seems to reveal the sense of security and police oppression from the inside out, and even makes her feel as if she is facing a police officer.

Accordingly, she was brought even more into the drama.

It can even be said that it was the first time I experienced what it felt like to be "supported" in acting.

Outside the set, I have to say that Madou TV really spared no effort in this drama this time.

In addition to pushing advertisements on major social platforms and short videos mentioned before, the two also assisted Jiuyao Media in organizing offline activities.

This wave of publicity by Jiuyao as the producer can be said to be a "free prostitution". It can also be regarded as Madou TV's letter of surrender for Ding Zhi's "surrender".

With such a bombardment of publicity, coupled with Ding Zhi's appeal, it can be said that the expectations of all viewers have been raised to extremely high levels.

And whether it is the audience of "The Suffering Drama for a Long Time" or the fans of Ding Zhi, they are almost all in a state of "waiting for food".

This time, the crew of "The Beginning", under the control of Ding Zhi, did not show the kind of ecstasy and irritation similar to Chen Meng's in "The Hidden Corner".

Even within the scheduled time, the number of episodes required before the premiere was filmed in advance.

After being edited and submitted for review, "The Beginning", which has been promoted intensively for almost a month, has finally confirmed its broadcast date!

On the evening of July 26, the series was officially launched on Madou TV!
