In the western suburbs of Jing'an, outside Changming Film and Television City.
A street full of the ancient style of the Tang Dynasty.
The crew of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" is currently filming.
This was originally an uninhabited wasteland outside Changming Film and Television City. Chen Guanghan disliked the scenes in the film and television city as too perfunctory and totally inconsistent with the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.
So Aiyao Studio invested a lot of money to build a street with Tang Dynasty architectural style on the wasteland outside the film and television city.
At that time, Ai Yao had just invested in the filming of "Crazy Stone" and the studio did not have much working capital. If all the money was spent on repairing this street, the crew would be short of funds for subsequent filming.
However, this drama has very high requirements for costumes, props and scenes. Unlike some costume idol dramas, which only require the male and female protagonists to make people laugh, the highlights of this drama lie in the plot and meticulous details.
Apart from reducing the actors' salaries, no details in production or filming can be reduced.
When the famous director made this request, Fang Xiaole considered it over and over again, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
If you want to make a high-quality drama, you must have the spirit of craftsmanship. Chen Guanghan lowered his salary to direct "The Longest Day in Chang'an". Isn't it because he was impressed by the excellent script?
He made this request from the perspective of making a good drama, and as an investor, there is no reason not to support it.
In order to solve the financial difficulties, Fang Xiaole and Lin Yao asked Wang Manling, Zhao Yue, Hong Sanshi and others for help, and finally got some sponsorship.
With the help of the director's own connections, the funding gap was finally filled.
But now, "Crazy Stone" is a big hit at the box office. After the movie is taken off the shelves and the theaters have divided the profits, and the remaining money is received, we will not be afraid of even building two more ancient Tang Dynasty streets.
"Wow, honey, it's so beautiful!"
When Fang Xiaole drove to the ancient street outside Changming Film and Television City, Lin Yao leaned on the car window, looking at the various ancient and gorgeous buildings, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
In order not to disturb the filming of the crew, the car stopped far away. Fang Xiaole and Lin Yao got out of the car carrying the bags containing the lunch boxes. From a distance, they saw a group of people rolling on the ground, and Lei Tao, dressed in black, was holding an official sword and rushing left and right.
It seems that the crew is filming a fight scene.
Fang Xiaole and Lin Yao quietly walked over and stood on the periphery without disturbing the crew who were filming, and gently put the bag down.
"sister!"
At this time, Liu Duidui, who was wearing ancient costume, turned around, saw the two of them, and shouted in surprise.
Liu Duidui looks taller, and her big eyes are more lively, but she still can't hide the fatigue between her brows, and her face is a little dirty. It seems that filming during this period was really hard.
Lin Yao quickly raised a finger and put it on her lips. Liu Duidui understood and immediately covered her mouth.
This was not her scene, so Liu Duidui was fine for the time being. When the little girl saw her sister, she immediately jumped up and ran over.
"Yes, you...ah?"
Lin Yao looked at Liu Duidui with a smile and was about to speak when the little girl unexpectedly threw herself into her arms and started to cry softly.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, be good, don't cry."
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly comforted him softly and turned to look at Fang Xiaole.
Fang Xiaole shook his head. He didn't know what was wrong with Liu Duidui.
Was he bullied on the set?
That shouldn't be the case. With Chen Guanghan and Lei Tao around, who would bully her?
Besides, the other actors are all veteran actors who work diligently in acting. Who would want to make things difficult for a little girl?
Lin Yao gently patted Liu Duidui's back and comforted her for a long time. The little girl finally stopped crying. She left Lin Yao's arms with red eyes and wiped her tears embarrassedly.
"Sister, who bullied you?"
Seeing that her face became even more stained after she wiped it with her hand, Lin Yao quickly took out a tissue and wiped it for her, then asked.
“Woo…”
Liu Duidui was still choking up, and raised her hand to point at Fang Xiaole:
"My brother-in-law bullied me!"
Fang Xiaole was confused and pointed at his nose: "When did I bully you?"
Liu Dui Dui sobbed, "This script was written by my brother-in-law, and Wang Yunxiu was also written by my brother-in-law. But Wang Yunxiu is too difficult to play. I always fail to perform well, which slows down the crew's progress. So it's all my brother-in-law's fault for making this character so complicated!"
Phew!
Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liu Duidui curled her lips and said, "Sister, even you laugh at me, woooo." It seemed like she was about to cry again.
Lin Yao was frantically trying to comfort her, but Fang Xiaole directly exposed her:
"No wonder Director Chen said you're talented. You're really good at crying scenes."
Liu Duidui's crying expression froze for a moment, and she could only glare at Fang Xiaole, but she was too embarrassed to continue acting.
Lin Yao also patted Xiaole gently below. In fact, she also noticed that Liu Duidui's crying was a bit exaggerated just now, but she was gentle and did not expose it.
But she could see that Liu Duidui was indeed under a lot of pressure.
"Crack! This one passed!"
At this time, Chen Guanghan's voice sounded and the fight scene ended.
The majestic Lei Tao immediately lay down on the ground without any image and began to groan: "Oh my, I'm so tired."
The people around him smiled and helped him up. One of them, a handsome young man, said with a smile, "Teacher Lei, you are amazing. You filmed all night yesterday and you can still perform so well today!"
Lei Tao unceremoniously put his arm around the young man's shoulders and said, "If an old man like me doesn't work hard, I'll soon be beaten to death on the beach by you, the newcomers."
The young man was a little shy and didn't know what to say, so he could only smile foolishly.
At this time, the crew finally saw Lin Yao and Fang Xiaole, and everyone gathered around in surprise. Chen Guanghan was watching the effect of the just-filmed segment on the monitor, so he waved to the two of them as a greeting.
Lin Yao smiled and took out the food boxes from the bag and placed them on the table, making it full.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. This is the dish I made. Please try it. I'm sorry the portion is not big enough."
"Wow! There's something delicious!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all picked up the disposable chopsticks that Lin Yao had brought. One of them suddenly said loudly:
"Wait, this is a dish made by the queen herself, let me take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments first!"
After saying that, she took out her cell phone to take a photo and asked Lin Yao to take a photo with her.
"Xiao Liu, you're so cunning. Lin Yao, I'm also your fan. Can you take a photo with me?"
Others followed suit, and a group of people surrounded Lin Yao, but ignored the boss Fang Xiaole.
But Fang Xiaole was used to this kind of situation. He walked up to Lei Tao and asked, "Brother Tao, why are you so thin?"
Lei Tao said depressedly: "Isn't it all for filming for you! How dare you say that? If your play becomes popular, you must give me a big red envelope!"
"I must give you a red envelope. If you are interested, Brother Tao, you can also participate in our studio's next play."
Fang Xiaole smiled.
"You have another script?" Lei Tao asked in surprise.
"Not one, but two." Fang Xiaole held up two fingers:
"My plan for Aiyao in TV dramas is the Golden Trilogy. We will release three high-quality dramas in a row."
