Chapter 1291 Dream of Red Mansions Crew

When Wei Xiaofan called Yin Jun and told Yin Jun that Ruan Nuolin would come to visit him, the young man still felt a little incredible.

It’s not that Ruan Nuolin’s level cannot be improved, but for a Spring Festival gala and two shows, it’s a bit of a fuss for her to come in person, right?

She thought so, but Yin Jun still arranged for people to pick her up and the accompanying personnel on the appointed day.

In the past few days, Yin Jun has asked Huang Bogao to go over and persuade Zhang Mingxuan.

Zhang Mingxuan, who has an honest personality, could not resist Huang Bogao's deception. He was very happy that his song was valued and he became a singer on the largest TV station in China.

Kuang Yuyun and Luo Jialiang are much simpler.

They have been practicing "Pingju" in the recording studio these days.

The pronunciation problem of Xiangjiang people is the biggest problem. They have no choice but to recite the lyrics first and then sing.

Both of them are young enough, so they don’t know what the Spring Festival Gala is.

On the contrary, they were a little nervous, because when they went to perform in that mysterious place in the mainland, everything was unknown and they didn't know what was waiting for them.

If they hadn't known that their boss had a huge amount of business in the Mainland, they might have stopped crying.

Ruan Nuolin arrived in Xiangjiang in the evening. Yin Jun asked them to stay at the Peninsula Hotel. But when they saw the scenery outside and the decoration inside, they were so frightened that they ran out and asked the receptionist Yin Jun to call. They moved to a more modest three-star hotel.

The next morning, Yin Jun invited Ruan Nuolin to Shi Xuandao's manor for dinner.

After entering the manor, Ruan Nuolin was considered knowledgeable. She was amazed when she saw it. Only then did she see what it means to be a top rich man.

The person who came with her was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a pair of glasses, with a smile on his face, and he looked very gentle.

Yin Jun's eyes lit up when he saw this man.

The first time he met this man was on the set of "A Dream of Red Mansions Reunited 30 Years Later" in 2017. He was already very old at that time.

Then the young man looked back at the "Dream of Red Mansions" that year, and naturally had a very deep impression on this man.

There are not many directors like Yang Jie in Quanhua Guoneng.

But even if he is one, and generally speaking, his achievements are even greater than Yang Jie.

Not just because he filmed China's first real TV series - "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp".

Even more because he spent five years filming "Dream of Red Mansions".

Three years later, he spent another five years filming "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

I don’t know how many directors have filmed one of China’s four great masterpieces.

But the most famous ones are those four versions.

1986 version of "Journey to the West".

The 1987 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

The 1994 version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The 1998 version of "Water Margin".

He alone occupies two of them. Would you say that in the TV drama industry, he is not considered a dean?

In front of him, this master stood in front of Yin Jun, and he was young, which made Yin Jun feel emotional.

"Master Jun, this is Wang Fulin, a senior director at our China TV Drama Production Center." Ruan Nuolin introduced to Yin Jun, "He filmed our first TV series in the mainland - "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" ", very talented."

"Director Wang, nice to meet you." Yin Jun shook hands with him, "Come, sit down and talk."

Wang Fulin was very nice, smiled, said hello and sat down.

He is not like young people who would feel a lot of pressure when meeting a super genius and super rich man like Yin Jun.

After all, he is 51 years old. With so much experience and training, he has naturally developed tolerance and self-cultivation.

Ruan Nuolin was originally worried that Yin Jun would be unhappy, because this time she came over without explaining why. Everyone thought she came for the Spring Festival Gala of China TV Station.

But she didn't know that the moment Yin Jun saw Wang Fulin, he understood the reason for their coming.

Is there any other reason?

There must only be one!

That is "A Dream of Red Mansions" which will officially start filming next year!

"A Dream of Red Mansions" began preparations in 1983 and was officially completed in 1987, creating a miraculous classic.

This is also the first such large-scale talent show in the history of China. Almost all actors who have never performed are selected and then gathered together to teach and act.

So it took a total of 5 years.

"Journey to the West" took a long time. On the one hand, it was due to the need for location shooting in various places; on the other hand, many of the shots were complicated and took time; and on the other hand, it was shot intermittently because there was no money.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is a little different. Most of the shots it shot were indoors, that is, inside a manor, and there was no need for any outdoor scenes at all.

In such an environment, even if you are still not rich in funds, you can still survive.

It's not like "Journey to the West", where you're shooting outdoor scenes, eating, drinking, and having sex all for a penny!

Of course, life in "Dream of Red Mansions" was not easy either. There were very few subsidies and the actors often didn't have enough to eat.

In this era, everyone is an actor, but there is no such thing as a leading role or a supporting role.

It is impossible for the protagonist to be full, but the supporting characters are not.

So Brother Bao once did a "featful feat".

When he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore, he took Sister Lin, Baochai and others to the cabbage field of his fellow villagers late at night, dug out a few cabbages and came back to eat them.

When Yin Jun heard these behind-the-scenes stories, he was also filled with emotion.

From this, you can also imagine that behind the classics, there are many tears and hard work hidden.

Only works that can be created under such difficult conditions will become classics.

It was precisely because Yin Jun knew their hard work that he was so generous when "Journey to the West" asked for help.

The filming and broadcasting of "Journey to the West" in the previous life were a bit chaotic.

For example, after filming started in 1982, the first episode was played in October of that year to see the effect.

This first episode is not "The Stone Monkey is Born", but "The Demon-Slaying Black Chicken Country".

Then in 1984, two more episodes were broadcast.

Eleven episodes were broadcast continuously in 1986, and then this was regarded as the official broadcast time.

In this life, with Yin Jun's full financial support, Yang Jie will certainly not be so hasty. She plans to finish all filming.

So now the crew of "Journey to the West" is still filming in mountains and rivers across the country.

With sufficient funds, everyone's life was relatively easy, and it aroused the envy of many brothers in the shooting department.

But others are not so lucky.

They don't have Liu Xiaolingtong, Yin Jun's friend, nor are they as prestigious as Yang Jie, nor are they like "Journey to the West", which coincidentally is Yin Jun's favorite book.

However, it cannot be said that Yin Jun is innocent.

A lot of the money in the "Art Development Fund" he donated will be used to subsidize some crews. This is also an undeniable contribution.

But there is indeed a big gap with the almost unlimited financial support of "Journey to the West".

"Dream of Red Mansions" is different from other crews. They are a very important crew and can be China Television's second biggest ambition after "Journey to the West".

Just from the fact that a director like Wang Fulin established and presided over the project, we can know its importance.

Such a crew would definitely not be able to pick up scraps to eat like those ordinary crews.

Wang Fulin has huge ambitions. He wants to make "Dream of Red Mansions" into a classic that cannot be surpassed by other TV series.

Since you want to make a classic, you must invest enough in it!

Therefore, Ruan Nuolin took him directly to Xiangjiang, hoping to persuade Yin Jun to provide some sponsorship to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".

I dare not say that it will be like Journey to the West. In addition to 10 million yuan, martial arts instructors, high-end cameras, clothing, etc. are all sponsored together, but at least half of the treatment in Journey to the West is expected.

People who want money are definitely not that confident.

Especially if you don’t plan to pay back the money yet.

There is nothing they can give Yin Jun, not even the copyright - this is the same as "Journey to the West".

To put it bluntly, I want Yin Jun’s sponsorship to be in vain.

In this case, do you think they would be so confident?

If they hadn't inquired with Yang Jieduo before coming here and gave them some tips, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been so bold.

Yin Jun is no small person.

The fifth richest man in Xiangjiang is someone who can talk and laugh happily in front of Mr. Yun and Mr. Xiao.

If you come here to trouble someone rashly just for this matter, God knows if he will be rejected.

It's nothing to be rejected. The most worrying thing is that if Yin Jun gets angry because of this and says a few words to the people above, such as "Why are they so ignorant?", then I don't know how many people will be unlucky.

They originally thought that they would have to chat for a while before they could slowly lead to this topic.

However, when Wang Fulin said that they had been preparing for several years and would start working on "Dream of Red Mansions" next year, Yin Jun's eyes clearly lit up.

"'Dream of Red Mansions'?" the young man asked with great interest, "Are you finally ready to film it? Our predecessor of Kylin TV, Jiayi TV, also filmed a version. Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it." Wang Fulin nodded.

"What do you think?" Yin Jun asked.

"The presentation is pretty good, but the content is a bit ridiculous." Wang Fulin thought for a moment and decided to speak directly.

Ruan Nuolin was shocked when she heard this, and quickly touched him under the coffee table, saying, "How did you say that?"

It's obvious that we're here to sponsor you, so you're offending someone just by opening your mouth?

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun burst out laughing after hearing this, "Director Wang is so outspoken! Yes, I think so too!"

"ah!?"

Ruan Nuolin was even more stunned.

In this situation, the script was not followed!
