This star’s style is wrong

Fang Jing mentioned the names of several top-level departments, which does not mean that it must be these departments.

In fact.

These are the highest-level departments that Fang Xing can choose from.

In any case, the powerful departments said that if they cast a wide net, it would be enough to catch only one.

Therefore, which department you can ultimately get to guide the shooting depends on the actual situation.

It also depends on which system Liu Jianan can speak in.

If you can't say anything, then the project will be put on hold for now.

Anyway, without the endorsement of the highest-level department, this drama cannot be filmed.

…

After thinking for a moment, Luo Xinyan asked: "Did you bring the script?"

"Bring it here." Fang Xing said, taking out a script printed on A4 paper from his briefcase.

Luo Xinyan took it over and opened it to read.

In order to allow the competent authorities to quickly understand the script, Fang Xing wrote a synopsis of the story in front of the script.

Luo Xinyan only read the first page and knew why Fang Xing insisted on asking the superior department to guide the shooting:

“This script is so bold, no wonder you had to seek approval from your superiors.

"As for the outline of your script, I don't dare to let you film it after reading it. Even if it is filmed, I don't dare to let you review it."

Fang Xing shrugged and replied with a relaxed expression: "That's the way it is anyway. If I can shoot it, I'll shoot it. If I can't, I'll work on other projects."

If Ark Culture hadn't produced a drama king like "The Pretender", Luo Xinyan would have thrown the script into the trash can after seeing the outline of the script.

It's not that the script is bad, but the story is too dangerous.

The story of this script is not about stepping on the red line at all. It is simply that the entire script is on the red line.

This is no longer a question of whether to relax restrictions.

"Let me see."

Liu Jian'an took the script and took a look at it, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

He was a little scared after reading this script.

He frowned and asked, "Can't we make a safer anti-crime drama?"

Fang Xing looked at him, shook his head and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, if you just want to make a solid anti-gang drama and have no requirements on ratings or popularity, there is actually no need to find me. There are many companies in the film and television industry who can make it. .”

Liu Jianan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He suddenly realized that what Fang Xing said was correct.

If you just make a solid anti-gang drama and complete the tasks of the superior department, then there are many companies in the film and television industry who can make it.

Why did he have to find Fang to wake up and film it?

Don't you just want to make an anti-crime drama with ratings that can reach or be close to "The Pretender"?

Only in this way can Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park make a name for itself in the country.

Liu Jian'an thought for a long time and said, "How about this? I'll try to submit the script and see if any higher-level department is willing to give guidance.

"Director Luo, please also submit the script to the General Administration to see if you can get guidance from the higher authorities."

Luo Xinyan nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's give it a try."

Normally, he wouldn't have stopped this job.

However, the state now encourages the creation of anti-crime works, and many higher-level departments are willing to guide the creation of anti-crime works.

Because the higher-level departments also want to complete this task.

Therefore, this matter may also go both ways.

After this meeting is over.

Luo Xinyan went back and wrote a letter, introducing Ark Culture in detail, as well as the film and television dramas that Ark Culture had filmed, attached it to the script, and then submitted it to the superior department for review.

Liu Jian'an also sought help from his superiors through his own channels.

…

After Fang Xing returned, he rested at home leisurely.

When there was no class, Lu Xiang'er would come over to eat, play games, and watch TV together.

This evening.

Lu Xiang'er suddenly wanted to eat hot pot, so Fang Xing drove her out to eat hot pot.

When ordering, Lu Xiang'er ordered beef, tripe, beef balls, mushroom platter, green vegetables, and finally two bowls of rice.

Fang Xing raised his hand and interrupted: "One bowl of rice is enough."

After Lu Xiang'er heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he hummed: "Why don't you let me eat rice? I practice piano so hard, can't I just supplement some carbohydrates?"

She said, looking down at herself, and asked awkwardly: "Do you think I'm fat?"

Fang Xing was a little speechless, pointed to himself, and explained: "I'm not asking you to eat rice, it's me who won't eat it."

Lu Xiang'er frowned and asked doubtfully, "You usually eat a lot? Why didn't you eat today? Have you eaten with someone else?"

"No, I just want to lose some weight." Fang Xing explained casually.

Lu Xiang'er became even more confused. She looked up and down and asked, "You're not fat, either? Why do you want to lose weight?"

"The role I am going to play next needs to be a little thinner, or a little sickly, and a little haggard."

No matter which TV series Fang Xing plans to film or the role he plans to play next, he needs to lose weight.

If you want to make a costumed Machiavellian drama, you even need to be a bit haggard.

After Fang Xing finished explaining, he quickly changed the subject and brought it back to her: "That's not right. Are you suddenly so unsure of yourself? Do you also have body anxiety?"

Lu Xiang'er turned her head to the side: "No, I'm several pounds lighter than Ning Xiaoyun."

…

after a few days.

There was news from Liu Jianan, asking Fang Xing to go to Kyoto with him.

As soon as Fang Xing heard this, he knew that there should be a reply to the anti-crime theme script.

the next day.

Fang Xing met Liu Jian'an on time, accompanied by Luo Xinyan and a secretary of the Ningyun District Committee.

The four of them took the train and headed to Kyoto.

After getting off the bus, a special car took me to the State Administration of Radio and Television.

After getting off the car, a secretary from the State Administration of Radio and Television led the four of them into the office building and met with a leader of the State Administration of Radio and Television first.

Luo Xinyan helped introduce that the leader of the State Administration of Radio and Television was Deputy Director Guo Chunlei.

Originally, Fang Xing thought he wanted to discuss matters with Deputy Director Guo Chunlei.

Unexpectedly, after Guo Chunlei brought them to the conference room, he introduced another leader, Lin Yongsong, deputy director of the Propaganda and Education Bureau of a certain top department.

The Propaganda and Education Bureau of this highest department is responsible for ideological propaganda and education.

The creation of anti-crime-themed works is a form of propaganda.

Therefore, guiding the arrangement of film and television dramas is also the work of the Propaganda and Education Bureau, the highest department.

Fang Xing didn't expect that he would actually meet a department capable of endorsing him today.

After the meeting, Fang Xing discussed with several leaders of higher-level departments about anti-crime-themed film and television dramas.

During the chat, Fang Xing learned that this top department indeed wanted to supervise and guide the creation of anti-crime works.

However, what impressed the top department leader was not the anti-crime script that Fang Xing handed over, but the past works of Ark Culture.

In fact, you will know it if you think about it for a while.

The State Administration of Radio and Television may have some knowledge of TV series.

The leader of this top department has very limited knowledge of TV dramas. He cannot tell whether the script is good or bad just by looking at the script.

Therefore, what can attract the attention of the leaders of this highest department are the works shot by Ark Culture in the past.

The most crucial one is "The Pretender".

"The Pretender" was the drama king of the year before last, and was praised by the superior department.

It is very difficult for this kind of main theme film and television drama to be recognized by the audience.

Therefore, the leader of the Publicity and Education Bureau, the highest department, feels that if Ark Culture can produce an anti-gang drama at the level of a drama king, then it is okay to endorse it personally.

This led to today's meeting.

The content of this meeting was not about how to shoot a TV series, but about conveying the central government’s ideas.

In the next two days, Fang Xing, accompanied by Guo Chunlei, deputy director of the State Administration of Radio and Television, and Liu Jianan, met with a deputy director of CCTV.

In the end, the anti-crime theme script submitted by Fang Xing officially passed the review and received guidance from the Publicity and Education Bureau of a certain top department.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, this anti-gang drama has finally been officially approved.

Moreover, with the endorsement of the highest department, the project preparation went very smoothly.

The guidance department of this project is really so powerful that no one in the film and television industry would dare to stand in the way of this project unless they don’t want to be involved in the film and television industry anymore.

…

Fang Xing did not expect that this anti-crime-themed film and television drama project would be approved so quickly.

I couldn't help but have more speculations about Liu Jianan's background.

At the beginning, Fang Xing knew that Liu Jianan was airborne, so he knew that he must have the support of his superiors behind him.

However, at first I thought it should be a provincial-level leader.

Now it seems that the level may be higher, and at least he can talk to a certain top department.

After the anti-crime drama project was approved, Ark Culture immediately began preparations.

The crew pulled up first.

Then there is the search for directors and actors.

At the beginning, Fang Xing considered whether to let Zhang Yigao be the director, but Zhang Yigao had no experience in directing film and television dramas about police and gangsters and anti-crime themes.

This anti-gang drama is very important and cannot have any problems.

After Fang Xing and Zhang Yigao talked, Zhang Yigao voluntarily gave up being a director and only asked to be an assistant director and learn from him.

Zhang Yigao knew very well that there could not be any problems in this anti-gang drama.

He himself was afraid that he would not be able to carry it, so he gave up on his own initiative.

Later, Fang Xing began to look for a director.

Mainly looking for directors with experience in police and gangster and anti-gang film and television dramas.

Thanks to the guidance and supervision of the State Administration of Radio and Television and a certain top department, the search for directors and actors went very smoothly.

Many directors who have experience in filming films and TV dramas about police, gangsters and anti-crime themes are willing to get in touch.

After contacting several directors one after another, Fang Xing settled on a director named Zhou Jitao.

With a background in Chinese dramas, he is very professional and has a calm demeanor. He has also filmed many films and TV series on police and criminal themes.

The schedule is also suitable.

For this reason, Fang Xing said that he does not need to sign the director's name, but he must have a certain say in the actors' performances.

Fang Xing's dual-director model is already well-known in the film and television circles.

Starting from "Wulin Gaiden", the film and television dramas Fang Xing shot were all two-director productions, and the division of labor was clear.

This time, Zhou Jitao is an experienced director who is nearly fifty years old.

Fang Xing considered not signing the director's name out of respect, but he still hoped to catch the actors' performances in person.

Zhou Jitao chuckled and said, "Director Fang has already made a name for himself in the film and television industry. Why am I an exception? It would be bad if others say that I rely on my old age and sell myself off."

"No, this is out of respect for Director Zhou." Fang Xing was very polite.

In fact, Fang Xing was very polite to people with real abilities.

"You don't need this. I have co-directed with others in my early years. As long as the division of labor is clear and in order to make the film well, it is normal to have occasional disputes. I have read the script and I am indeed interested, so I want to join. Just follow your instructions Let’s adjust to the previous model and see how it works.”

Zhou Jitao has watched all of Fang Xing's movies and TV series.

Therefore, he knew that Fang Xing's acting skills were definitely unique among young actors, and even ranked high among Mesozoic actors.

He likes to cooperate with capable people. In this way, he can always find surprises from the other party.

Fang Xing has already proven his strength with many TV series.

Moreover, this time the director of the anti-crime drama has a strong background, and Zhou Jitao is also willing to take on the drama.

After the negotiation, the director was finalized, and as usual, he will co-direct.

After finalizing the director, the next step is to find actors.

Since he had the endorsement of the highest department this time, Fang Xing could go to the National Theater and various military art departments to find actors.

Although Fang Xing has always been very strict in selecting actors, this time it was the most strict.

Starting from "Wulin Gaiden", Fang Xing's requirement for actors is that they must have acting skills. Without the traffic of acting skills, they don't need to bring money to join the group.

This time the requirements are even stricter, even for roles with few roles, the requirements for acting skills are very high.

Zhou Jitao has been in the industry for thirty years and has met many actors and worked with many actors.

Therefore, many actors were introduced by him to audition.

Fang Xing has relatively clear requirements for the actors in each role, from appearance to age.

Even so, the process of auditioning actors is still arduous.

Especially the actors for the main roles were very difficult to cast.

They even found a group of actors to audition for the male lead, but Fang Xing was not satisfied.

"Are there any Mesozoic actors with better acting skills? The best ones who have appeared on the big screen."

That afternoon, Fang Xing and Zhou Jitao auditioned a group of male actors to choose the male lead.

There were one or two that Zhou Jitao thought were okay, but Fang Xing was not satisfied.

"Actually, it's okay for Huang Xiao to play the male lead." Zhou Jitao pushed a resume in front of Fang Xing.

The actor named Huang Xiao had just completed his audition, and Zhou Jitao thought he passed the test.

Fang Xing shook his head. He didn't know how to describe it. He raised his thumb and index finger: "It always feels a little bit interesting."

Zhou Jitao held his head and said, "I originally thought that my requirements for actors were strict enough, but I didn't expect you to be stricter than me."

Fang Xing looked at the resume in front of him and said, "Maybe it's because I have a preset character image in my mind and always want to find an actor who meets the requirements."

Zhou Jitao continued to hold his head and asked: "Didn't you star in all your previous dramas? Why don't you star in it this time?"

Fang Xing shook his head and replied: "I have thought about acting myself, but the image may not be so suitable. Acting myself is the last resort. It is also because of this method that I have a foundation, so when I audition for the male lead, I hope to find someone One can act better than me."

Zhou Jitao couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, you found it according to your own standards, which is really difficult. I don't want to look for it anymore. I have seen your play, and I agree with your performance."

"Don't you think my image doesn't quite fit the role?" Fang Xing turned to look at him.

"He's a little too handsome. Try to be more plain when putting on makeup. There are many ways to solve this problem. If you don't wash your face for a week, you're guaranteed not to be handsome anymore." Zhou Jitao was joking, but he was serious about what he said. of.
