Chapter 801 TV series broadcast (please collect, recommend and vote, please vote monthly)
Xu Chuan looked at the time. It was very good. It was five o'clock in the morning, half an hour earlier than his biological clock took effect.
He picked up the vibrating cell phone and decided that no matter who it was, even if it was a scam caller, he would catch the other person and ask who was so dedicated.
“Who is it?” The voice was definitely full of excitement.
The person on the opposite side didn't speak. It wasn't until Xu Chuan was almost impatient that he heard Gao Wen's timid voice, "It's me. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Hey, this kind of caution left Xu Chuan with nowhere to vent his anger, "It's okay, I'm already getting up anyway."
“I asked Xiao Wenzi for the phone number. By the way, how is your injury?”
Young Master Xu raised his head and sighed, why is this question coming again? This question has been asked over and over again dozens of times in recent times. Is it still over? Moreover, Gao Wen simply had nothing to say. He didn't believe that this girl didn't go to Xu Ziwen to inquire about him.
“It’s okay, everything has healed, it just looks serious.”
“Oh”, followed by another period of silence.
Xu Chuan was helpless, "Your TV series should be broadcast soon, right?" Well, he could only find something to say.
“Hmm, it’s today, ah, it’s already started playing.” The girl opposite exclaimed, followed by the sound of something being knocked over.
Xu Chuan smiled, and then he realized that it was already the New Year, so he said to the person opposite, "Happy New Year"
"What did you say?" Gao Wen didn't hear clearly at all. She had just poured a cup of hot water on the notebook and was now hurriedly wiping it with a tissue.
“Happy New Year,” Xu Chuan covered his forehead, “Are you okay? Did you get into trouble?”
“I spilled the water on the computer.” This annoyed voice made Xu Chuan know how depressed the girl opposite was without even thinking about it.
"It's okay. Turn off the phone first and then use a hair dryer to dry it. Maybe it can still be used." Xu Chuan gave her some advice.
It's just that Gao Wen didn't seem to trust him very much, "Don't talk nonsense, how is it possible, what to do with the things I have inside." After this incident, Gao Wen seemed to have lost the nervousness just now, and could already refute the person opposite.
"Oh, why don't you go find Xu Ziwen, she can definitely help you fix it." Xu Chuan walked to the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee. He didn't plan to end the call so soon. He wanted to see this girl. What else could she do to set her house on fire?
But unfortunately, Gao Wen opposite didn't seem to think so, "I won't tell you anymore," then hesitated and continued in a low voice, "Please pay attention to your own safety and don't get hurt again."
After that, regardless of whether Xu Chuan answered or not, he hung up the phone.
Young Master Xu was stunned for five seconds while holding the phone. The call came very abruptly, and the hanging up was equally abrupt.
Smiled and shook his head, moved his computer over, and opened UC's video website. As expected, "In My Name" was hanging at the top of the homepage.
I clicked in and watched the first ten minutes of the first episode, and then quit again.
It starts with a five-minute long fight shot, in which the heroine breaks into a gang gathering place and fights from beginning to end in the corridor.
Xu Chuan remembers that it took three days to shoot this shot to almost meet the requirements, but Gao Wen's limit had been reached.
Yang Yushun has indeed worked hard enough, but he has never been exposed to movies with this kind of modern background and where the action requires as much practicality as possible. Although Xu Chuan found him an action director in Hollywood, there are some things he shot that are still very similar. action movie.
Some habits are difficult to change, or no one wants to step out of their comfort zone.
The earliest martial arts films or action films borrowed a lot of opera movements. The influence of opera on action films is so profound that some shadows can still be seen to this day.
For example, Yang Yushun likes to pause after the actor has finished an action, and then take a close-up of the front, which is similar to the debut of Peking Opera.
However, what the opponent is holding is a gun. If you don’t quickly get out of the way, what’s the point of staying there?
Hey, these small details are everywhere in Xu Chuan’s eyes. Some of them are problems with action design. After all, the person Xu Chuan found is only responsible for the action design of the protagonist, while some supporting roles are done by domestic teams.
Xu Chuan has told them many times that they need to pay attention, but it seems that after he left the crew, they returned to their accustomed ways.
Furthermore, when Yang Yushun was editing later, he did not strictly follow the script. But fortunately, he did not have free play when it came to the heroine's scenes.
In America, if the director of an American TV series dared to do this, he would have been fired long ago.
That’s why a reliable producer is so important, but Xu Chuan himself can’t keep an eye on them.
This is human nature, everyone does not want to be just a tool, they all want to leave their own mark on a work, or add some private goods.
Xu Chuan sighed. He actually didn't have many people he could use, and Yang Yushun was already a more suitable candidate.
According to the previous plan, UC Media would sign him after the TV series was broadcast. Thinking of this, Xu Chuan picked up the phone and called Zhou Hao.
“Damn it, when did the big boss have time to call me?” As expected, this guy didn’t have anything nice to say once he got through.
"Stop talking nonsense, delay Yang Yushun's contract for a week." Xu Chuan ignored the ridicule in this guy's words.
Zhou Hao didn't expect that this was what the other party was telling him. To be honest, the contract was on his desk. "Why, aren't you going to sign a contract with him?"
If this is the case, it will be a bit difficult. Yang Yushun is indispensable for several projects this year. If he is not available, he will need to find a replacement.
“That’s not true, have you watched the TV series?”
“In my name? I have watched it before. We reviewed it internally and found it to be quite good. Are your requirements too high?”
“No, the problem is that he changed the original storyboard. If the effect was better, I wouldn’t say anything, but he changed it into a piece of shit.”
Xu Chuan must warn the other party, otherwise Yang Yushun may not know who he is.
Zhou Hao frowned. He really didn't pay attention to this matter. He didn't know anything about storyboards.
"Okay, I get it, you still have to sign him, but it's just a warning, right?"
“That’s right.”
"Then I'll delay for a few days, and then have someone tell the other party the reason in private. By the way, this won't drag people away, these guys are a bit arrogant." Zhou Hao easily understood Xu Chuan's intention.
"It doesn't matter. If he dares to embarrass me in this situation, then forget it." Yang Yushun is the most suitable, but it is not impossible to find a replacement.
“Okay, I understand.” Zhou Hao agreed.
Regardless of the actions behind these, the drama "In My Name" finally exploded in word-of-mouth broadcasts after two episodes. In this Chinese TV drama market filled with various remakes of martial arts dramas, idol dramas and anti-Japanese dramas, this drama The main focus is action, and it is a drama that uses mixed martial arts and practical shooting as its selling points. It seems so fresh and refined.
‘The master took action, it’s really extraordinary. Is this the strength to be nominated for an Emmy Award? ’
‘Forgive me for being hasty! ’
‘The long shot at the beginning was so stunning that I thought it was a movie. ’
‘The scene in the second episode where the staples were used to fix the wound shocked me, it hurt just looking at it. ’
‘Gao Wen’s movements are very good, unlike other people’s films which lack any strength. ’
“Look at the behind-the-scenes footage, she was trained by Dong Qin for several months, and she did almost all the movements herself. ’
‘The entire crew is also undergoing firearms and tactical training abroad. ’
‘But why not let our little Celery play the heroine? I think she might be more suitable. 'Look at the cast list at the back. Xiao Qiancai's name is after the producer, and she also said in the previous interview that she mainly did some behind-the-scenes work. The development paths of these three girls are all different. ’
‘I don’t agree, I just want Girls’ Generation. ’
The following are a bunch of seconded opinions.
‘But speaking of the cast list, why did I see the great actor’s name among the actors? Is he a guest star? ’
‘I don’t know, but Yang Yushun said on Twitter that there will be a surprise in the third episode. ’
‘This guy wouldn’t be using his personal interests to get himself a male protagonist to enjoy himself. ’
‘But it’s impossible to tell who the male protagonist is here. ’
‘It turns out this is the story of the bodyguard that he talked about in the technology forum. Now I am very curious about how bad the original script is. ’
‘Fun fact, Dragon Fruit Next Door has bought the drama. It seems to be a joint production with Ruixin, and filming will start after the Chinese New Year. ’
Although Xu Chuan didn't name him at the time, the circle was so big that someone had already picked up the script.
However, the other party could not admit that his script was bad. Instead, he ridiculed Xu Chuan on Twitter, and then he was scolded as autistic by Master Xu's fans who could only work with Girls' Generation.
Just one sentence to let the other person break their guard directly, ‘Get an Emmy nomination first before you speak. ’
There were tens of thousands of identical comments in the comment area, causing the other party to directly close the comment function.
There are TV series that are launched on other video websites at the same time, but the popularity is not as popular as "In My Name". It's not that they have never thought about buying hot searches to discredit the other party, but Twitter and the other party belong to the same family, which is very annoying.
But fortunately, this drama only has a small number of episodes, so it will pass after you endure it.
“The good news is that there’s finally a show that doesn’t have as many episodes as Old Lady’s Foot Wraps. The bad news is that it’s called In My Name. ’
According to the news from the producer, this drama only has twenty-two episodes. Compared with the current masterpieces that often have hundreds or dozens of episodes, it is simply too short to watch.
Four episodes are released every weekend, which is a month and a half. This cycle is actually a bit short, and advertisers’ bids will not be too high. However, as the popularity increases, more brands plan to sign cooperation agreements with UC’s video platform.
Xu Chuan originally didn't plan to make much money from this drama, as long as he didn't lose money, but now it seems that making a small profit is no problem.
After the third and fourth episodes were released, many Xu Chuan fans were waiting in front of the computer to see how he would make a cameo.
Then everyone saw Mr. Xu’s screen debut.
‘Oh my god, he really played a mute character. I thought it was a nickname from the previous cast. ’
‘Not only is he mute, but his face is also covered. What can be seen from this? ’
‘Look, brothers, I have only seen that kind of mockery in the eyes of great gods. ’
‘Hahaha, the way he looks at the heroine really doesn’t need any lines at all. ’
‘It’s almost written on your face that you are an idiot, uh, no, it’s written on the mask. ’
As Yang Yushun said, the expressiveness of Xu Chuan's eyes is something that many professional actors don't have. What is this, a talent?
The plot of this episode is actually very simple. After the heroine officially joins the security company, she undergoes a series of paramilitary training.
Xu Chuan's role is a fighting instructor who keeps his face covered and silent all year round. His job is to beat everyone down. From the beginning of his disdain for the heroine to discovering that this girl has a tougher character than others, he Attitudes have also changed.
When the heroine is practicing by herself at night, he will correct her movements very coldly, and will also serve as her sparring partner. When the heroine gets first place in the training assessment, he will sit on the edge of the field and watch silently.
The heroine will learn some sign language by herself because the other party is mute. After the training, the two people will chat together. Of course, only the heroine will speak, while the mute will just sit aside and watch her.
The first half of the episode focused on warmth, which made everyone think it was about to form a CP.
‘Are you giving away candy? The master’s look is so awesome. If I were the heroine, I would have followed it a long time ago. ’
‘Is he really the male protagonist? Why did he write a guest appearance? ’
‘It’s not impossible to have a guest role as a male protagonist. ’
“This is a flashback, which has been made very clear in the first two episodes. I think the director and screenwriter are holding back their bad intentions. ’ There are still people who can analyze it calmly.
If someone watches carefully, they will find that the color of the pictures in this half of the episode is different from the previous two episodes. The overall color is very mild. Even if there are very intense fighting scenes in the middle, the color tone is mainly warm light. After half the time, The overall color began to return to cool tones.
According to Yang Yushun, the warmer the tones of these plots, the more profound the impression will be on the audience when they are broken up later.
Alright, the lighting engineer can add a chicken leg.
When two-thirds of the time was up, the pace of the plot suddenly accelerated. A heavily armed team attacked the training camp without warning, and their purpose was to kill everyone here.
The character played by Xu Chuan pushed the heroine into the safe passage for evacuation, and then communicated with the other party in sign language for the only time in this episode, "Stay alive."
With only these words, he turned back without hesitation and locked the passage door, completely indifferent to the heroine crying behind the door.
After facing a powerful enemy alone, there is of course only one outcome.
After being shot several times, facing the villain who took off his mask, he gestured "I'll wait for you below" in sign language, then activated the explosive device in the training camp, and perished with the group.
This episode ends with the heroine waking up from her dream watching the explosion, then washing her face expressionlessly and treating her wounds again.
Then the audience exploded in the comment area.
‘I’ve never seen anyone handing out candy and knives at the same time in one episode, Xu Chuan, please come out. ’
‘Oh my god, a great **** is a great god. Not only did he write himself to death, but he also left his whole body intact. It’s so cruel. ’
Not only that, this group of people also went to Girls’ Generation’s Twitter to leave messages, all of them scolding Xu Chuan for being careless.
Despite this, it is obvious that everyone still approves of Xu Chuan's debut on the screen. Everyone must admit that the quality of this drama is indeed high, surpassing other dramas broadcast at the same time.
But all this has nothing to do with Young Master Xu. He doesn’t read comments anyway.
He is in contact with Nikita. This young lady has been staying at Baidanwo for a while and finally thought of contacting him as the boss.
‘Something happened here, can you bring some people over? ’, Nikita’s voice was deep, and it was obvious that he was in trouble.
Without saying a word, Xu Chuan directly contacted John Smith and Birkhoff. One of them provided technical support and the other allocated personnel.
"Borrow some people from Lethal Force. Those Yemeni mercenaries can't adapt to the weather there." Xu Chuan told Smith that it was definitely not a small trouble to get Nikita to ask for help.
“Curtis and I will go directly there, please hurry up.” Williams and Sanborn were still in Los Angeles, so they didn’t need any special notice.
Sheila was helpless when she heard the news. The Grammy Awards ceremony would be in two days. She really hoped that Xu Chuan could accompany her.
Xu Chuan could only apologize for this matter, but he was completely excited now.
