Chapter 332 "Pretender" project launched

There are many classic TV series that Fang Xing can think of about anti-aggression war type TV series.

Among spy dramas, the classic TV series with both high ratings and reputation is "Insidious".

However, there is a problem with this drama. The male protagonist is not very handsome.

Sun Honglei's film and television image is indeed very charming, and his performance as Yu Zecheng is also a classic among classics.

It's just that Fang Xing's current image is really inappropriate. Maybe he can try it in ten years, but it's more difficult now.

If we want to film "Latent", we have to find another capable actor to play the role of Yu Zecheng.

Among the top-tier male actors in the current film and television industry, there are not many actors who can play the role of Yu Zecheng.

Actors in this position usually choose scripts very carefully.

Moreover, even if there is a suitable one, the salary will not be low.

There is another most important reason. Fang Xing actually wants to act.

After all, I once loved musicals so much, and I hope to continue this love of character creation in another way in this life.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Fang Xing chose another spy drama, which was also the drama king of Mango that year, "The Pretender".

After confirming the spy drama project, Fang Xing stayed at home and wrote the script.

Everything else is left to the company team.

…

After Ark Culture released the spy drama project, it immediately attracted the attention of major companies in the film and television industry.

Many film and television companies came forward to seek cooperation.

A new drama project released by Ark Culture, with a project investment of 100 million.

This amount of investment belongs to the entry-level of S-level investment in the film and television industry, and has just reached the threshold for large-scale production.

This is also Ark Culture’s first S-level project.

Because Ark Culture has produced two hit TV series.

Therefore, when the new drama plan was released, basically all major film and television companies knew that Ark Culture had never made a spy drama, but they all hoped to invest in this project.

Since we are filming "The Pretender" this time, the filming difficulty and scale are much greater than "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Beginning".

"Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom, with almost no outdoor scenes, and all shooting scenes were completed in an inn.

Although "The Beginning" has exterior scenes, there are not many exterior scenes. Many of the shots were done inside the bus, so the shooting was not difficult.

Now that I'm filming "The Pretender", there are too many scenes.

Therefore, Ark Culture’s current crew size is not enough.

When filming "The Beginning", the crew only needed more than 100 people to support it, but when it came to filming "The Pretender", the crew couldn't operate without 300 people.

It is difficult to increase the number of crew members in a short period of time, and it also requires experience in crew work.

Therefore, the preparations for the crew of "The Pretender" require cooperation with other film and television companies.

Qiao Yinghong discussed cooperation with Jade Bird Media, seconded the crew, and raised a team of 300 people.

After the cooperation was concluded, Jade Bird Media received an investment quota of 10 million yuan.

besides.

Penguin Video invested 10 million and had priority in booking online broadcasts.

In the film and television industry, many companies wanted to invest, but Fang Xing didn't want to invest.

Ark Culture is not short of money now. If you want to invest in "The Pretender", you have to exchange resources.

For most film and television companies, when preparing for TV series projects, they will invest a lot of money in order to spread risks.

Because it is possible to lose money when filming a TV series. Once you lose money, diversifying the risk will not result in such a disastrous loss.

Fang Xing has never worried about this problem, so the film and television companies that want to invest need to have hard resources to lay the foundation for cooperation.

…

In addition to the film and television industry, Ark Culture has also released new drama project plans on major online platforms and submitted audition invitations to the Screen Actors Guild.

After the project plan was released, it caused many discussions among netizens and fans:

[There is actually a plan for a new drama, and it’s not a sitcom or a suspense drama. This time it’s going to be a spy war! Should I be looking forward to it? 】

[Just don’t make spy war dramas with thunder rolling down the sky. My mother often watches thunder dramas at home, and every once in a while I’m so shocked by the thunder that I’m scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.]

[If this spy drama fails, it will be Fang Xing’s first time doing so, which is a memorable moment.]

[Can everyone have some confidence? Although Fang Xing has never filmed a spy drama, I think it can work if it has a somewhat suspenseful edge.]

[Hurry up and announce the starring list. It’s time to look at the cast and judge the bad drama.]

[The project has only been announced now, and auditions for actors have not started yet. Where can I announce the list of starring actors? 】

[Tell me. Are you writing, directing and acting this time?]

[I’m still very optimistic about Fang Xing’s casting skills.]

[Didn’t anyone notice? Many film and television companies have film and television projects to be launched next year, and some of them have already started filming.]

[Not to mention that I haven’t discovered it yet, but Ruide Film and Television, Tianlong Film and Television, and Bluebird Media all have espionage projects. ]

[Please pay more attention to Xiao Lunsheng's new drama "The Invisible Spy", with an investment of 150 million, and a strong domestic first-line lineup.]

This comment was obviously posted by a fan of Xiao Lunsheng.

Xiao Lunsheng is a popular niche star of Red Film and Television. Red Film and Television is indeed filming the spy drama "Invisible Spy" and has been filming for more than half a month.

This project indeed invited several powerful domestic first-line actors.

Of course, Xiao Lunsheng falls into this category.

However, in order to promote their own popular film, Ruide Film and TV chose the script of "Invisible Spy" this time, which was biased towards group drama.

Therefore, when promoting, Xiao Lunsheng's promotion direction was to star in a lot of scenes.

There are many scenes opposite another powerful leading actor.

Spy dramas in recent years have followed this trend.

A capable actor with a young talent.

As long as Xiao Xianrou's acting skills are not too eye-catching, the ratings will be pretty good and fans will be impressed.

Since this time is a tribute to the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War, there are many film and television projects on the Anti-Aggression War theme.

Among them, there are five or six projects with investment of hundreds of millions, and they will all be broadcast next year.

Therefore, these investment projects worth hundreds of millions will naturally be compared.

Ark Culture's "The Pretender", Tianlong Film and Television's "Unsung Heroes", and Red Film and Television's "The Invisible Spy" have naturally become the key comparison objects.

Since "The Invisible Spy" stars the popular young star Xiao Lunsheng, many theater photos have been leaked since the filming started.

It is said that outside the studio, fans are surrounded every day, and they are all fans of Xiao Lunsheng.

Not only "Invisible Spy", Tianlong Film and Television's "Unsung Heroes" usually invites top stars to star.

Nowadays, there is a mature plan for the production of film and television dramas.

That is, with powerful actors, a popular star, and a reliable crew, it is equal to a TV series that is sure to make money without losing money.

The TV series produced according to this plan may not necessarily become classics, but the popularity of the broadcast will not be too low. It not only has an audience base, but also can reap the fan economy.

The solution is mature and easy to operate, and it has become the favorite model used by film and television companies.

…

There has been intense discussion on the Internet about the news about several big-investment spy dramas.

Especially for fans of popular celebrities, as soon as the TV series was launched, they began to promote it everywhere to help their idols gain popularity.

After the project of "The Pretender" was established, Fang Xing stopped paying attention to the news on the Internet and concentrated on writing the script at home.

The first thing to write is the character setting, which comprehensively positions the character's background, personality and experience.

The reason for writing the character settings first is that there are many roles this time, and the number of actors needed to be hired is much greater than in previous dramas, and each one requires acting skills.

It's not that easy to find actors with suitable image and acting skills for these roles.

Therefore, we need to introduce the characters first and let the crew find suitable actors to audition.

…

While writing the script, Fang Xing stayed at home instead of going to the company.

Lu Xiang'er would bring food over to eat together every day. Sometimes she would cook the food herself and then secretly read the script.

"Military reunification agent, codenamed "Poisonous Scorpion", leader of the military reunification Donghai Station action team, later joined the underground party, young master of Donghai Ming family. He is suave and has extraordinary skills. He walks between black and white, sometimes as cunning as a fox and as agile as a fox

The sword is sometimes as clean as water and as warm as light, even though its identity is multiple and its disguises are changeable..."
