Chapter 30 What Is Efficiency? This Is Efficiency! !
Hearing Xiao Sheng self-declared his family, Yin Jun suddenly realized that it was this great leader!
When people in later generations watch TVB TV series in the 1980s, they usually see two names appearing in the most eye-catching producer column.
The first is Shao Yifu's direct descendant Wang Tianlin, and the second is a man named Xiao Sheng.
Because Wang Tianlin is fat and Xiao Sheng is thin, they also have a nickname called "Fat and Thin Tianzun".
Needless to say, Wang Tianlin, the 83 version of the classic "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zheng Shaoqiu's version of the timeless "Chu Liuxiang", "Thousands of Waters and Thousands of Mountains Always Love", etc., are all classics in the classics.
Xiao Sheng is not bad at all. The first "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the history of Hong Kong was filmed by him in Jiashi, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong at the time.
He also filmed the "Celestial Silkworm Transformation" series in Li's unbearable fight.
After arriving at TVB, Andy and Chen Yulian's versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are no worse than Wang Tianlin's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Huang Rihua's version of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", etc., are all his works.
It's just that few people know that this gold-medal producer, who has flourished in both Li's and TVB, was actually dug from Li's to Jiashi at the beginning.
But Jiashi's life was not long. After the bankruptcy, he returned to Li's, and finally went to Wireless.
Such a super strongman is actually sent to helm "Bao Qingtian", that is really the blessing of "Bao Qingtian", Wei Xiaofan's blessing, and Yin Jun's blessing!
"Brother Sheng was resting after filming "Meteor Butterfly Sword" in May. Now you are in charge of "Bao Qingtian", but it's your luck." Shi Shaoming was afraid that Yin Jun didn't know anyone, so he introduced: "Brother Sheng just now I'm worried that you are young and know how to write books but don't understand the expression of TV, now it looks like you really have a set! I think you are a genius!"
"Definitely a genius."
Here Xiao Sheng said, "Just this huge contrast, our minds that we wanted to perfunctory changed suddenly. How could a young man come up with such an arrangement and mind? The cunning fox also It can't be done."
"You guys are wrong, I just think I can give it a try." Yin Jun scratched his head and said.
When it's time to make a high profile statement, he will definitely do it, but when it's time to be humble and cautious, he will also do it.
Now it is obvious that Wei Xiaofan will become the male lead and he will be a consultant to the crew, so there is no need to express himself, just pretend to be an honest child.
But Xiao Sheng didn't let him go. When Wei Xiaofan was negotiating the contract with Shi Shaoming and Liu Tianci, he pulled Yin Jun over: "I read your three scripts, besides Lord Bao, there is another Zhan Zhao that is very important. Which actor do you think is more suitable?"
"Of course it's Wu Weiguo!" Yin Jun said without hesitation.
"Just give me a problem!" Xiao Sheng pointed at him, "Wu Weiguo is currently filming "The First Sword of Fengyun", and he is the No. 1 student of Jiashi, so you use him as a supporting role? Or give a A newcomer as a supporting role?"
Yin Jun said embarrassedly: "Actually, this male No. 2 is also very good. Only Wu Weiguo, who is handsome and handsome in ancient costumes, is the most suitable."
In 2020, people may not have any impression of Wu Weiguo, but only one thing needs to be said, and everyone knows Wu Weiguo's status.
Before Xing Ye became famous, he played a supporting role for Huang Rihua in several scenes. Everyone knows this, right? Song Bingyi came here.
Before Huang Rihua became famous, he gave Zhou Run a trick again, such as in "Shanghai Beach".
Before Zhou Runfa became famous in "Frenzy", who did he run for?
Wu Weiguo!
If you look at Wu Weiguo's costumes in the 1980s, it is really not much worse than Zheng Shaoqiu, and even he had a title in the 1970s in advance - the emperor of martial arts!
It's just that he was dug out by Jiashi for a lot of money. In those years, he has been filming in Jiashi, not at Wireless. In the end, even if he went back, he never supported him again.
Otherwise, Chu Xiangshuai might not know who it was.
To be honest, Yin Jun doesn't think that He Jiajin's Zhanzhao is irreplaceable, he can even replace Jin Chaoqun, let alone Yu Zhanzhao.
It's just that in this era, it's not so easy to find a handsome and heroic martial arts star.
If Wu Weiguo doesn't come, Yin Jun would like to invite Zheng Shaoqiu to come, but is it possible?
"How about the beautiful Xu Shaoqiang?" Yin Jun thought of another hero.
"Don't talk!" Xiao Sheng scolded with a smile: "I think you really have too much heart! Our Jiashi is about to collapse, how can we still dig other people's first-class stars?"
Saying so, Xiao Sheng didn't mean to be angry.
First, Yin Jun's script was well written and very talented; second, the audition that Yin Jun arranged just now was really amazing, and Xiao Sheng regarded him as a genius.
It is not a mistake in itself for a screenwriter to want the best interpretation of his script. Xiao Sheng would be unhappy if he had an indifferent attitude.
After a pause, Xiao Sheng said, "Let me tell you the bottom line. I also like the play "Bao Qingtian". But the cost is at most 20,000 per episode, which is also limited by Jiashi's current capabilities. So Part of the reason why this guy was so easy to be accepted just now was because of the low price of the newcomer. Although Zhan Zhao is the second male lead, we can't afford someone with a big name, so you can choose from the people in Jiashi. , I'll show you the photos later, and you'll see if it suits you after you've chosen."
Judging from Wei Xiaofan's performance, Xiao Sheng trusted Yin Jun's vision very much, so he asked Yin Jun to find someone to take a look at first, and then talk about it if it was inappropriate.
Yin Jun heard the words and smiled bitterly.
Besides Wu Weiguo, what good niche does Jiashi have?
Luo Lelin? Although he was the first person to play Yang Guo, what impressed Yin Jun most with him was the middle-aged uncle Jiang Dingbang in "I Am Kind", or the stock god Ye Tian in "The Great Era". How handsome is he? Handsome at all?
Bai Biao? Forget it, this horse face is more like a villain than a villain, and it's also a male lead. In the 21st century, his best positioning is the category of Dasha and Liangkun.
Liu Dan? His son, Da Mi Mi's husband Liu Kaiwei is okay, but how old is Liu Kaiwei now.
Jiashi is not good, then outside, who are not famous, who else is suitable?
Suddenly, Yin Jun flashed, "Since you said that, Brother Sheng, I think of a person who has a very good image, and it should be more than enough to perform Zhanzhao."
"Who?" Xiao Sheng asked.
"His name is Hui Tianci, and he is also Fen Chrysanthemum's apprentice. In recent years, he has played a role in Shaw Brothers movies." Yin Jun said: "He is Wei Ge's junior brother. You will know if you can do it when you meet him."
"Okay, you can call him here." Xiao Sheng said, "I will try to assign important roles today, and then report to the general manager to explain it. I will go to the venue tomorrow, and do planning and labor arrangements by the way, the day after tomorrow. start working."
"So fast?"
Yin Jun said in surprise.
"Sorry, wireless can usually start work the next day. They have a set." Xiao Sheng said with a smile, but there was a trace of disdain.
The set is to use cloth and some boxes, plastic foam, etc., to build the background, so that any scene can be built in the studio, but this effect makes people complain.
Wireless often likes to do this to save money.
Goodview has always attached great importance to the effect, so it seldom builds the scenery.
"Today is June 8th. We will try to come up with the first episode on the 13th. By the end of June, we will finish the filming of "The Case of the Beauty" and "The Tanuki for the Prince", and then we will broadcast the last one while filming. "True and False Champion"." Xiao Sheng said.
"it is good!"
Yin Jun didn't say anything. Anyway, when it came time to shoot, he would just suggest to Xiao Sheng. For "Bao Qingtian" to do better, Xiao Sheng will definitely accept the advice.
After knowing that the producer was Xiao Sheng, he was relieved a lot.
Because Xiao Sheng is a person who pays great attention to quality, he simply cannot make a TV series.
So don't worry about Xiao Sheng's perfunctory things, and pay attention to everything.
But even Xiao Sheng, when it comes to filming 14 episodes in half a month, looks very relaxed. Basically, one episode is a day's time, which shows how rushed Xiangjiang's TV series are.
If it wasn't for Xiao Sheng, I'm afraid there are people who have finished filming twenty episodes in ten days.
But this is not very surprising to Yin Jun. After all, a movie in Xiangjiang is sometimes shot faster than a TV series.
What surprised Yin Jun most was that they decided to make a TV series, which was so efficient.
As long as the producer and the managers have discussed it, they don't have to wait for the meeting to decide, they can just file it directly.
In other words, the script is prepared one day, the chores are prepared one day, and the filming of a TV series can be officially started on the third day, and it can be finished and broadcast in one or two months at most.
This makes a TV drama in the 1980s in the Mainland take three to five years to shoot at every turn.
For example, "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" have artistic value, but compared to their procrastination and attention to shooting, this achievement is a bit of a loss, and it should be better.
However, thinking this way now is a bit of an afterthought.
After all, in those days, although the crews of "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" were all paid by Huaxia TV, Huaxia TV was also poor at that time, but the crew could still spend money hard, so that in the end the crew was still poor and crazy. Now, I almost couldn't take pictures several times, so it took so long.
Heung Kong tried to save costs as much as possible, centralized operations as much as possible, and did not need to take location scenes, ponder more, polish acting skills, and naturally spend less time.
Of course, for now, such high efficiency is what Yin Jun wants to see.
As long as it can be broadcast on Jiashi in July, it will catch up with Jiashi's last round of TV broadcast opportunities, and "Bao Qingtian" will definitely get its due status and glory!
Letting the classics bloom better in his own hands is what Yin Jun is most proud and happy about!
