Chapter 429
The first topic is the end.
Next, the second topic is "Dream of Red Mansions".
"Dream of Red Mansions" produced by Jiayi TV is a brand new exploration and attempt in the production route.
To be honest, these 100 episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" require careful and precise planning and huge production costs.
As far as the cast is concerned, it feels like a mixed team, although there are many actors like Wu Huanyi, Tao Mingmin, Lin Yanni and others.
But whether the roles they play are appropriate and whether their acting skills can handle it is really a big problem.
Wu Weiguo and Mao Shunyun play Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu respectively. Looking at the photos of the final makeup, the appearance and clothing are not ideal.
Wu Weiguo has experience playing Jia Baoyu, but his reputation is not good. Now it depends on whether Jiashi's director has the ability to "renovate" it.
Putting aside the few protagonists, there are many characters in the play, and it is certainly important whether the main characters are ideal or not.
In fact, the other various people in the Grand View Garden cannot be ignored.
If you "focus on the head but not the tail" and lose your balance, your performance will be greatly compromised.
After adapting a famous work, it is also very important whether the screenwriter can capture the essence of the original work.
Otherwise, because there are too many characters and too many lines, there will be no coordination between the previous and the previous ones, and it will not be possible to complete it in one go.
Then, it will become a nightmare.
"Dream of Red Mansions" has always been adapted into movies and stage films, all of which focus on the love story between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
The book contains many descriptions of the changes in officialdom and the ugly aspects of officialdom. These are good materials, but they are not taken seriously.
As a result, the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" seems to have been written by Cao Xueqin specifically for the personal love of his children.
Therefore, whether Jiashi is a smart move by filming these 100 episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a matter of opinion.
Although it has great momentum, most people think it is thankless.
Lu Dongjie sat there and listened expressionlessly, but his eyelids couldn't help but sink.
He didn't sleep at all last night and planned to wait until the meeting was over before returning to the office building to catch up on his sleep.
The protagonist of today's meeting is the entire "Dream of Red Mansions" production team.
The "Witness Protection Team" that Lu Dongjie is currently in charge of has not encountered any major problems yet.
The "Witness" produced by him has a total of twenty episodes, and the production budget of the entire drama is less than 300,000.
One producer and two directors.
The entire shooting plan is proceeding step by step and is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner, and the pick-up time is also scheduled.
But "Dream of Red Mansions" is a big production that is different. All Taiwan's resources were used at once, and a lot of loans were needed.
There are four producers alone, four directors are also directing, and twelve screenwriters are involved in script creation.
Just now, Lin Nianxuan also said that he would build a Grand View Garden studio in the back mountain. The cost of the set would be like water.
Halfway through today's work meeting, many directors and producers began to shift blame and blame.
Either they say there is insufficient budget and manpower, or they complain about lack of cooperation and delay.
You have difficulties, he has grievances, but if you complain all the time, everyone will be very angry.
Jiashi has never had any experience in large-scale productions. It is indeed very laborious to coordinate such a large team together.
Everyone has their own thoughts and opinions, how can they be of the same mind?
Lin Xiurong, who was sitting above her, blushed as she watched the group of guys quarreling over each other. She couldn't help but frown.
This is the disadvantage of an amateur leader who is an expert. He finds that he cannot control the situation at all.
He looked to the side and found that Lu Dongjie was concentrating with his eyes closed, as if he was completely aloof from the incident.
How can Lu Dongjie have the strength to manage these conflicts? It would be better to do less than to do more, lest anyone think he has exceeded his authority.
Sun Yubiao, who is the deputy general manager and director of the program department, saw that the scene was a little out of control and couldn't sit still.
She coughed and said, "Let's discuss the matter. If you have any different opinions, you can talk slowly."
Lin Nianxuan said calmly: "Our plan is to shoot 20 episodes first and then start broadcasting, so everyone should communicate more about how to speed up the progress."
He continued to add, "We have two dramas in development at the same time, but Lu Sheng's progress is faster than ours."
Everyone glanced at Lu Dongjie, and then they all stopped talking.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Things are much simpler for the "Witness Protection Team" produced by Lu Dongjie, and the filming plan is more than halfway progressed.
He has a rough idea of the show, and it is entirely up to him to decide how it should be shot.
Directors Huang Tailai and Li Huimin started working quickly under his broad framework.
The atmosphere at the scene subsided and everyone continued to discuss work until around 12 noon.
When Lu Dongjie returned to his office building, Jian Erqing came over and stopped him.
Lu Dongjie couldn't help but wonder that he didn't seem to have any deep friendship with him. What did he have to do with him?
Jian Erqing lowered her voice a little, "Lu Sheng, I heard that you are now the president of Tiantian Daily?"
Lu Dongjie smiled and admitted generously, "Jian Sheng, there is nothing ulterior to this."
Jian Erqing said straight to the point: "Someone from the cultural circle is inviting me to a dinner party tonight. I wonder if you would be interested in joining us?"
Lu Dongjie couldn't see what his intentions were, but he was sure there was something weird in it.
Jian Erqing pushed up her glasses and said, "I happen to have a few friends who want to meet you. Do you have time?"
Lu Dongjie is the president of a newspaper. It is inevitable that he will have to deal with the cultural world in the future, so he should go there to get acquainted and socialize.
He smiled calmly and said, "I am an uninvited guest, will there be any inconvenience?"
When Jian Erqing heard that there was something going on, she smiled and waved her hand, "No way, they are all old acquaintances."
Seeing his enthusiastic attitude, Lu Dongjie became even more suspicious. Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?
The smile on Jian Erqing's face grew stronger, "Then I'll wait for you at six o'clock tonight. See you there or not."
After he finished speaking, he left gracefully alone.
Lu Dongjie watched his retreating figure quietly, with several thoughts flashing through his mind.
People often say that the four great talents in Xiangjiang are Jin Yong, Huang Zhan, Ni Jian and Cai Lan.
In fact, in terms of his popularity in Hong Kong's cultural circles, Jian Erqing is not inferior to the other four.
Jian Erqing is erudite and talented. He is good at writing horse classics, columns, and novels. He is an all-rounder in the literary world.
Otherwise, Jiayi TV's "Dream of Red Mansions" would not have specially invited Jian Erqing to serve as a data consultant.
If he wasn't a man with a lot of literature in his belly, and if he didn't have extensive research on Dream of Red Mansions, how could he dare to take on this job?
However, Jian Erqing is a literati, but unlike a literati, he always behaves in a playful manner.
Jian Erqing, nicknamed Jian Laoba, is famous for writing horse scriptures, and is what the citizens call "horse writing guy".
Hong Kong people love gambling and are obsessed with money. Everyone has the dream of getting rich overnight.
Especially after the "Gambling Law" came out this year, there is only one legal gambling channel left in Hong Kong, which is the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
Nowadays, there are more betting shops on the street than rice shops. Those who want to make a fortune by betting on horse racing must of course read the horse racing book.
The Horse Racing Book was written by a horse writer, and Jian Erqing is the most skilled horse writer and an authoritative person in event intelligence analysis.
There are hundreds of thousands of horse racing gamblers in Hong Kong, and many people regard the simple and clear horse racing book as a god and a guide.
What is the purpose of such a person looking for him?
Lu Dongjie couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and went back to the office building to get some sleep.
