Chapter 286 "The Beginning" wraps up and is scheduled to be released in July

"The Beginning" is being filmed intensively.

Since Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er still need to participate in the rehearsal of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, they have to take one or two days off every week to leave the crew to attend rehearsals.

Before Fang Xing leaves the crew, he will discuss the subsequent shooting plan with Zhang Yigao, down to the details of the arrangement of each shot.

Then Zhang Yigao was asked to take charge of the shooting. After Fang Xing came back, he reviewed the material to make sure there were no problems with the shots.

Zhang Yigao has no problem professionally.

Even though the occasional shots were a little different from what Fang Xing originally wanted, the quality was not bad.

This small problem can be corrected during post-production.

After "The Beginning" was launched, information about the show was naturally leaked.

It is also difficult to keep the general content of the script secret.

Therefore, companies in the film and television industry basically know the type of Ark Culture’s new drama this time.

Science fiction, suspense, time loop.

In fact, "The Beginning" is not the first film and television drama with this concept. There have been many film and television dramas at home and abroad with similar plots.

…

The new drama prepared by Pengcheng Capital, with a total investment of 70 million, signed Lin Yingxue, and wanted to suppress "The Beginning" and put "The Beginning" into a situation where there is no available female protagonist.

Fang Xing turned around and directly cast Lu Xiang'er as the female lead. When the news spread, many people in the industry were not optimistic about it.

Many people in the industry suspect that Fang Xing is spending money to support his girlfriend.

This situation is very common in the entertainment industry.

In fact, many actresses who have just entered the entertainment industry and have endless resources have financial backers.

As for the relationship between the two, it's hard to say.

People in the industry have long been accustomed to the idea of ​​donors spending money to support people.

However, a project like this that spends money to promote people has a very high probability of being made into a bad movie.

Therefore, after "The Beginning" was launched, many drama critics in the film and television industry felt that Fang Xing was destroying the good reputation created by "Wulin Gaiden".

In the entertainment industry, many people are paying attention to the filming progress of "The Beginning".

The Chen family, in particular, paid close attention to every move of the crew of "The Beginning".

Because this drama will affect the amount of fat they eat.

Dachuan Audio is still struggling. It has mortgaged its real estate and insists on operating the company, and does not agree to bankruptcy and liquidation.

This bankruptcy liquidation case has been delayed for three months.

The Lu family now wants to wait for "The Beginning" to make money before turning around.

Naturally, the Chen family would not give the Lu family a chance to make a comeback, so when Ruide Film and Television was preparing for a new drama, Chen Lipeng made additional investment and asked Ruide Film and Television to also make a suspense drama to suppress "The Beginning" in all aspects.

With the current news about "The Beginning", it looks like a bad movie no matter how you look at it.

With a small investment of 30 million, Fang Xing directed and acted, and also hired an 18th-tier director who had been in the directing industry for more than ten years and had never produced a single successful film.

In addition, in order to flatter his girlfriend, Fang Xing cast a violinist who had never acted before to play the female lead.

Taken together, this information basically labels this show a "bad movie".

However, Chen Lipeng was still worried, so he asked Ruide Film and Television to also produce a suspense drama and broadcast it at the same time, crushing "The Beginning".

Two dramas of the same genre and in the same schedule, the one being compared ended up being a complete failure.

This is what TV dramas are like. If there are no better choices at the same time and the audience is starved of dramas, they can still watch a slightly worse drama.

However, once a good drama is aired at the same time, the bad movie will become even more unwatchable by comparison.

When Ruide Film and Television was preparing to shoot a new drama, the script and director had not yet been determined.

Now, the management requires new dramas to be shot in the suspense genre. As long as there is a suitable script, it won't be a big problem.

Moreover, Pengcheng Capital has invested an additional 10 million yuan for this purpose.

This money is enough to hire a second-tier suspense film director.

Since Pengcheng Capital was willing to spend money, the project progressed quickly.

Red Film and Television quickly secured a deal with a second-tier director who became famous for suspense and detective dramas, and obtained a suspense crime script from a team of screenwriters with whom he often collaborated.

After the actors were finalized, filming started quickly.

…

From the beginning, Fang Xing decided to film "The Beginning" just to solve the Lu family's dilemma, so the filming progressed very quickly.

Even before the filming is completed, post-production has already begun.

Moreover, during the filming stage, we had already negotiated with Penguin Video and the exclusive broadcast rights had been sold.

Just wait for the finished film to come out and be reviewed by Penguin Video, and it can be scheduled to be broadcast immediately.

After two months of filming, "The Beginning" was announced to be completed.

Post-production is also in full swing.

After these news spread, there were more and more rumors that "The Beginning" was a bad movie.

Because everyone in the industry feels that "The Beginning" went from planning to finalization too quickly.

Within two months, it was announced that it was finished.

If the investment in this film hadn't been so high, people in the industry would have suspected that Fang Xing was laundering money.

The only thing that gives theater critics a little bit of confidence is that the supporting actors are all good actors.

For ordinary viewers, they don't care too much about the identities of the veteran actors and supporting roles in the drama.

Especially for dramas with mainly female audiences, the audience only cares about whether the male lead is handsome or not, and will not pay attention to whether the veteran actors in the drama are from the National Theater or Hengdian extras.

Professional drama critics pay more attention to the content and recognize the names of some veteran drama stars.

Therefore, in the eyes of some professional theater critics, the only outstanding feature of "The Beginning" is the actors from the National Theater.

However, the more this happens, the more angry the theater critics become, thinking that Fang Xing is destroying the veteran artist of the National Theater.

Some theater critics even said that if the veteran actors of the National Theater lose their jobs, Fang Xing will bear all the blame.

After "The Beginning" was announced to be finished, there have been more and more discussions about the show.

Many gossips from the filming period have been released one after another and have been on several hot searches.

Fans of "Wulin Gaiden" are having a heated debate with critics.

[It’s over, it’s over, no matter how you watch “The Beginning”, it feels like it’s going to suck. Don’t ruin the beautiful image of “Wulin Gaiden” in my mind, okay? 】

[Although I also admit that the violinist is very beautiful, but with such praise, it is difficult not to suck.]

[I also heard a big news: during the filming of "The Beginning", Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er had to take two days off each week to attend the opening ceremony rehearsal. 】

[It’s over, it’s over, then this drama is basically rotten to the core. 】

[The filming was completed in two months, and I even asked for leave during the period. Anyway, I don’t dare to watch this drama. Wait until the drama comes out and the bean sprouts score exceeds six points before knocking me.]

[It’s still six points, and it’s a miracle to get more than three points.]

…

at the same time.

The suspense drama "Pillow Crime" being produced by Red Film and Television is also accelerating its progress.

This time, the actors hired by Ruide Film and Television are all young actors who can perform well.

The Chen family did not arrange Chen Wenhan in the drama again.

Chen Wenhan also looks down on this A-class investment with an investment of 70 million. With his status, he is not interested in non-S-class major investments.

Therefore, the double-male cast of "Pillow Crime" hired new second-tier male actors, and they are very popular.

These two male leads alone earned 30 million yuan in salary, and one of them is from Red Film and Television, so they can raise this lineup.

In this way, plus 18 million Lin Yingxue.

The salary spent on the leading actors for the entire drama was nearly 50 million.

The amount of investment is very tight.

However, the preparation for the production of this drama is entirely in accordance with the requirements of Pengcheng Capital, so Ruide Film and Television can continue to ask Pengcheng Capital for additional investment.

Since the request was made, and the cast assembled was indeed very good, Pengcheng Capital felt comfortable making additional investment.

As a result, the investment in this A-level investment "Pillow Sin" has gradually reached 80 million.

This is already a large investment in an A-level production.
