Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"What's wrong? Do you think the filming time in Treasure Island is too long? I have tried to shorten the time as much as possible, but this drama has at least 40 episodes. If the time there is shorter, it will be too forced."

After talking with Dongshi, Lin Daoqiu sent Zhao Yazhi home.

On the way back, Lin Daoqiu could clearly feel that Zhao Yazhi didn't seem very happy. Of course he knew why the other party was like this.

"No, no, I know you've tried your best to make arrangements, but I'm still a little reluctant to think about leaving the baby for so long."

Zhao Yazhi is not blaming Lin Daoqiu. She has filmed so many TV series, and of course she knows that Lin Daoqiu has taken good care of her with this arrangement.

Based on the forty episodes of a drama, even if part of it is shot in Hong Kong, the actual filming time in the treasure island will take at least half a year.

Now that the time can be shortened to two months, I am afraid that Lin Daoqiu did not know how much modification he made in the plot, which makes Zhao Yazhi feel even more embarrassed.

"Of course I can understand, but you can rest assured that I will try my best to let them finish filming your scenes, and I won't let you stay on the treasure island for too long."

This is all Lin Daoqiu can do. If he makes any adjustments to accommodate Zhao Yazhi, even if others don't tell them, they will be able to notice the weirdness in it.

"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of ​​filming "The Story of Qianlong"? I've never heard of you mentioning it before."

Zhao Yazhi found it strange that Lin Daoqiu suddenly thought of filming a costume drama, and it was also a TV series with Qianlong as the protagonist. She had never heard Lin Daoqiu mention this matter before.

Regarding Zhao Yazhi's question, Lin Daoqiu had already thought about how to answer her.

"Didn't I go to Treasure Island to film a movie before? The idea came up when I was filming in Treasure Island. Later, after I returned to Xiangjiang, I started writing the script, and it just happened that I could film it this time."

Lin Daoqiu didn't make it too specific, but it would definitely not be a problem to deal with Zhao Yazhi's questions.

Of course, Lin Daoqiu will not be the director of this drama, so he must find someone suitable to direct this drama.

Lin Daoqiu knew a lot about directors in Xiangjiang, whether they were making TV series or movies.

However, Lin Daoqiu did not intend to just let a director from Xiangjiang direct the play "A Play on Qianlong". He had to find a director from Baodao to work with him.

After all, this is a costume drama, and if you don’t have a strong foundation in Chinese studies, then trying to make it look interesting is probably just a delusion.

So the current situation is that the male and female protagonists have been decided, and the only thing that needs to be resolved now is the director of this drama.

Originally, "The Story of Qianlong" was a collaboration between TVB and a director from Baodao, but since Dongshi was the one to film the movie, it was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to find a director from TVB.

This time Lin Daoqiu plans to let Zhao Zhenqiang be in charge of the drama "Joking about Qianlong". After all, judging from his qualifications and experience, there is absolutely no problem.

"Mr. Lin, are you looking for me?"

The next day, Lin Daoqiu called Zhao Zhenqiang over. In fact, among the producers who had transferred from TVB to East TV, Lin Daoqiu was still very optimistic about Zhao Zhenqiang.

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Lin Daoqiu asked Zhao Zhenqiang out for breakfast, and he looked cautious from the moment he walked in.

Li Tiansheng and Li Huimin had already got the opportunity to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, and now this drama and TV series have been surpassing TVB's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

It is definitely impossible to say that Zhao Zhenqiang has no ideas at all.

Until Lin Daoqiu called him out for breakfast today, Zhao Zhenqiang knew that his opportunity had definitely come.

"I plan to launch a costume TV series "The Story of Qianlong", and this time you will be in charge of filming the drama."

Zhao Zhenqiang had just sat down when he heard Lin Daoqiu personally naming a film for him to film. Naturally, he was very happy.

"Thank you Mr. Lin. I will definitely work hard and live up to Mr. Lin's expectations of me."

Zhao Zhenqiang didn't think much about this drama. What he wanted at this time was to get the script of the drama as soon as possible, find the actors and start filming.

However, what was completely different from what Zhao Zhenqiang thought was that Lin Daoqiu's expectations for this drama were far greater than his.

"The male and female protagonists of the drama "Joking Qianlong" have been decided. You have also worked with them before, Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi."

Zhao Zhenqiang seemed particularly happy when he heard that the male and female protagonists of the drama "A Play on Qianlong" were Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi.

After all, he has worked with these two many times before, and they are now the most popular TV stars in Hong Kong. Their presence is a guarantee of ratings.

"Part of this drama will be shot on location in Baodao, and the remaining part will be shot in Hong Kong. In addition to the actors from East TV, we also need to find some actors from Baodao to participate."

Lin Daoqiu never thought that this drama would be completely shot with the Xiangjiang team. After all, there are many outstanding actors in Baodao, and having them participate in the performance of this drama can also add some highlights.

"You will be the producer of this drama, and the director will have to find someone from Baodao to partner with you."

Originally Lin Daoqiu planned to arrange two directors, but since Xiangjiang has a supervisory system, let Zhao Zhenqiang be the producer and Baodao have a director.

Zhao Zhenqiang naturally doesn't have any objections to this. After all, the producer in Xiangjiang is responsible for all the production of TV series, and the directors are almost only assistants.

And since you want to go to Baodao to shoot on-site, you must find local people to help.

If he were to be responsible for all the shooting work in Baodao alone, Zhao Zhenqiang would not be able to do it, but he might not be able to do it so well, and it would also waste a lot of time.

"Mr. Lin's arrangement is very appropriate, and I support it with both hands."
