The director team of Ark Culture is already very mature, and several assistant directors have filmed TV series with similar environments, so they all have experience.

In the evening, Fang Xing also went to the locals to inquire about the local situation.

I stayed in Ning Province for a total of four days and basically saw everything I wanted to inspect.

The rest of the matter can be arranged after the crew officially sets up camp in Jixi County.

In the afternoon of the fourth day.

The group left Ning Province and took a flight back to Donghai.

When he was at the airport, Fang Xing called Guo Chunlei: "Director Guo, I'm sure, I want to film the story of Jixi County, Ning Province."

Guo Chunlei was a little surprised: "Are you sure? That place is very miserable."

In fact, Guo Chunlei initially agreed with Fang Xing to go to Jixi County, Ning Province to investigate, thinking that he was just going to have a look, and nothing more after seeing it.

After all, the environment in that place is indeed not good.

Unexpectedly, after watching it, Fang Xing actually wanted to go there to take pictures.

Fang Xing's tone was firm: "Yes, I have thought about it. We will shoot in Jixi County. Bureau Guo will help us say hello to the local county committee, and the crew will be there next month."

Guo Chunlei thought about it again and thought it was also very good. Of course, poverty alleviation dramas must be filmed in places where the living environment is harder to make sense, and he immediately agreed:

"Okay, no problem. Since you want to shoot in Jixi County, let's do it. If you need anything, you can tell me or contact the local county committee."

…

After confirming the shooting location, Fang Xing began to prepare the script.

In fact, the script had already been prepared when it was in Jixi County.

Next we need to talk about actors.

Back in Donghai, Qiao Yinghong's crew framework has been put together, and all that's left is to fill the crew with a suitable team.

Because the dramas being filmed are different, the service teams required will also be different.

For example, some Fu Hua Dao teams are good at costume dramas, so they are not suitable for this crew.

Many film and television companies are preparing for this poverty alleviation drama, and some are even very fast and have already started auditioning actors.

It is not a secret in the industry that Ark Culture was asked by superior departments to produce poverty alleviation dramas.

If a drama with this theme is successfully filmed, the ratings will be secondary. The most important thing is the chance to win awards.

Therefore, before Ark Culture issued a casting announcement, many entertainment companies and brokerage companies were already approaching Qiao Yinghong.

Qiao Yinghong knows many gold medal agents in the industry.

They are all old acquaintances, so many agents of first-line actors are familiar with Qiao Yinghong, and it is common for them to send messages to find out the news.

When Qiao Yinghong reported her work to Fang Xing, she was going to introduce which actors were available:

"Boss, Liu Shiying's agent took the initiative to ask if there is any chance of cooperation. Liu Shiying has just won Gladiolus, and filming dramas at this time will definitely be very popular."

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "It's something you can consider. However, you need to communicate with them first. This time I shot almost all the outdoor scenes. The shooting was in Jixi County, Ning Province, and the environment was very poor.

"In addition, I don't accept cutouts for studio shooting. Important characters need to be with the crew throughout the whole process until the scene is completed. You know these rules. Make it clear to them in advance.

"If Liu Shiying really wants to act, let her audition."

Qiao Yinghong started as Fang Xing's agent and became the vice president of Ark Culture. She can be said to be the person who best understands Fang Xing's work style.

On the surface, Fang Xing's requirements for filming dramas are actually the basic qualities that actors should abide by.

However, the internal entertainment environment is really great.

Due to the existence of the fan economy, celebrities can make money just by lying down, without having to work so hard at all.

Therefore, it is common for popular actors to cut out pictures for studio shoots, read numbers without reading the script, shoot multiple dramas at one time, and compete with each other.

Fang Xing's previous dramas would occasionally encounter this kind of situation.

Later, these terms will be clearly written in the film contract.

Therefore, every time during casting, the director responsible for negotiating film contracts needs to repeat these requirements to all actors.

Of course, it is not difficult to implement these requirements.

Because a drama is not shot episode by episode according to the plot, but the shooting time is arranged according to the actors' schedules.

In addition to the starring role, the scenes of other actors will be filmed together. After the scenes are filmed, the actor will be finished and can leave the crew.

Therefore, except for the lead actor who plays throughout the entire drama, the other actors can leave the set after a week or two, and do not need to stay on the set for three months.

Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will communicate with Liu Shiying and arrange for her to audition."

After the poverty alleviation drama project was officially established, Ark Culture released a casting announcement.

Get ready to start scheduling auditions.
