Chapter 1545: 1545
At the filming location .
Zhang Ye was at the scene overseeing all operations .
"Action!"
"Cut! Alright, that'll do!"
"Shanshan, well done . Your expression is spot on!"
"Beautiful, Old Yao!"
"Let's go, we're moving to the next location .
All of the actors were getting in the groove . Being veteran actors from yesteryear, they knew exactly what was required of them . There was no real need for Zhang Ye to make any unnecessary remarks . A hint was all they needed to make the scene work out . Furthermore, the production crew was in a very good form and it only took a short time for them to work seamlessly as a team . Even during their breaks and moving between filming locations, no one would be on their cell phones . Instead, they would be discussing their roles and the storyline for the next scene . Everyone was very serious, with a deep sense of dedication towards their love and determination for acting . This was something that wasn't present in any of the production crews that consisted of those hot, young men .
Ning Lan said, "Old Yao, can you put on a more intense expression?"
Yao Jiancai said, "This is good enough . If I overdo it, that would make it worse . "
Shu Han said, "Teacher Yao is right . I feel that it's enough . "
Jiang Hanwei said, "Director Zhang, I want to modify my lines for the next scene . "
Zhang Ye said, "Sure, the lines are just written for you, but it will still have to depend on how you deliver it during the shoot . There's no need to adhere exactly the script . That would be meaningless . "
Jiang Hanwei said, "OK . "
Ning Lan asked, "Director Zhang, I'm wondering how you honed your acting skills?"
Zhang Ye said, "Haha, guess . "
Yao Jiancai said, "That's right, Zhang'er has really changed my view of him . He's really got such great presence in front of the camera . When we were acting opposite each other in a scene, I was nearly upstaged by him . "
Shu Han said, "Hur hur, that's why we mustn't take our director for a newcomer . Although Director Zhang has never acted in a TV drama before this, don't forget about how capable he is . If he really gets serious at acting, he won't be lacking to any of us best actors and actresses! Otherwise, would Zhang Ye still be called Zhang Ye?"
Ning Lan said, "What a good bootlicking that was . "
Shu Han laughed . "Pfft!"
Jiang Bin said, "With today's shoot, it really felt like the old days again . "
Yao Jiancai replied, "Yeah, wasn't this exactly how we used to act years ago when we first debuted? It's totally unlike how the other production crews do it these days . They think that everything will be fine as long as they can get a young gun on board their productions? Can't remember their lines? Requiring a stunt double whether they're playing a role in an emotional drama or action movie? And they aren't bothered by their acting standards either? What the hell!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Actually, there isn't really any designated lead or supporting roles in this drama in my opinion . As long as we play our roles well, everyone can be the main lead . Every role has its own shine and can be performed well with our different styles . This is also the effect that I would like to achieve . So, please, let me request this of everyone . Whatever acting chops you have or however good you are at acting, please pour all of that effort into this drama . Once we leave this behind, there won't be another chance like it again . "
Ning Lan said, "I'm just afraid my screen presence will oust you, making me stand out in our scenes . "
Zhang Ye said, "Alright, as the male lead, my role is actually just to serve all of you . Hur hur, but it won't be that easy to upstage me . "
Ning Lan said, "Sure, let's give it a try . "
Zhang Ye said, "If everything proceeds smoothly, we'll add another two scenes after this . "
Yao Jiancai said, "I have no problems with that . "
Dong Shanshan agreed, "Sure thing . "
For some directors of a movie or drama, their production tenet would be based on the principle of "slow work means careful work . " Li Ke was an example of one who did it that way . He would repeatedly polish his projects until they were to his satisfaction . Others placed more emphasis on the actors . As long as the actors were popular enough, and as long as the actors could bring up their productions, all other requirements could be lowered . Every director had a different style of directing, and Zhang Ye was the type who focused on efficiency . He asked for both quality and speed in a production, not because he didn't want to seek the finer details through slowing down, but because in his opinion, it would be an insult if he had to keep hammering out every detail with a group of veteran actors .
…
One day .
Two days .
Three days .
Time passed very quickly .
On the tenth day since In the Name of the People had commenced filming, many netizens were on Weibo discussing the upcoming television series that they were anticipating . It was currently a lull for television series . At the end of last year, Heavenly King Guan Zhaohua's xianxia series had set a record high viewership rating in recent years . With no highly anticipated series since then, the people were all causing a ruckus at the shortage of series, and at the same time, anticipating the next blockbuster .
Heavens of the Gods, a xianxia series starring Li Shao, a hot, young man .
As well as a costume period drama titled Age of Kingdoms, starring Chi Hao, another hot, young man .
Both series had put in a huge publicity effort in recent times, making the people look forward to them in great anticipation .
"Li Shao's new show is coming soon . "
"I'm so looking forward to it . "
"I like Chi Hao . "
"Chichi is the most handsome of all!"
"It looks like the viewership ratings for this year's television series will have to depend on the two of them . "
"Yeah, last year was Guan Zhaohua's year, so it should be our Li Shao's year this year . I believe his ascendancy to the throne of a Heavenly King is just around the corner!"
"Get lost! The new Heavenly King will definitely be our Chi Hao!"
"Heavens of the Gods should be wrapping up filming soon, right?"
"Yeah, it's almost done . "
"Oh yes, how is Zhang Ye's production doing?"
