"Welcome to this episode of 'Entertainment Explosive News', I'm your host Lie Lie. Today, we have a big guest on our show, the renowned screenwriter Shao Feng, who is top-notch in the scriptwriting industry. You may not be familiar with Shao Feng's name because he works behind the scenes as a scriptwriter, along with other crew members like lighting and makeup artists."

  However, the script written by Shao Feng's screenwriter is believed to have been seen by most people like "Qian Xi", "Huan Tian Xi Di" and so on. The screenwriters of these works are all Shao Feng Screenwriters, please applaud. The host Lie Lie said one word, applause continued, the studio of "Entertainment Explosive News" was quite large, with three or four hundred spectators sitting in the auditorium.

  In the applause, Shao Feng walked out slowly, waving his hand like a leader inspecting something, and then sat down opposite the host Lie Lie. "Hello, I'm scriptwriter Shao Feng. Hello, I'm host Lie Lie. Welcome to our show. Give a wave to our audience friends." The host Lie Lie warmed up the atmosphere.

  "Hello everyone, I am Shao Feng." Shao Feng greeted.

  "These days, the explosive 'New Journey to the West' everyone should know about it, right?" The host Lile said "These days, whether online or in newspapers and TV, everywhere can see news about 'New Journey to the West', but maybe you don't know that Shao Feng was once a screenwriter for 'New Journey to the West' and held an important position in the screenwriting team. But please ask Shao Feng, why did he quit the 'New Journey to the West' screenwriting team?"

  "In fact, quitting the crew of 'Journey to the West' was a well-considered decision after much deliberation. It's a great pleasure to work with Director Yu Qiyuan, but due to some unbearable things, I had no choice but to take this drastic measure." Shao Feng leaned back against the sofa, feeling a bit more comfortable.

  "I remember that screenwriter Shao Feng once mentioned in a program, was it because of the genius writer Su Xichen?" The host Lie Lie said "Next is the entertainment big revelation time, please let screenwriter Shao Feng tell everyone."

  "In fact, I think each industry has its own characteristics. Even if you are a genius in one industry, the definition of that genius may not apply to all industries," said Shao Feng. "Just like Su Renshan, he is a genius writer in his field, but it doesn't mean he is also a genius in screenwriting. Su Renshan can be considered a complete newcomer in the screenwriting industry."

  "But that's what this newcomer did, picking apart the script written by me and three other colleagues, and in the end completely overturning our work. But I can understand this point, after all, Su Xichen is just an outsider, just a rookie."

  "Sū Shì Chén also completely turned writing into writing a script, using his wild imagination to construct a completely unreliable script. The most critical thing is that Yú Dǎo was completely attracted by Sū Shì Chén's wild imagination." In Shào Fēng's tone, there was a hint of disdain, which seemed to be directed at both Sū Shì Chén and his wild imagination.

  "In the end, Yu Dao surprisingly chose Su Xieren's plan. Not just me, but even my three colleagues couldn't stand this amateurish setup, so we four quit the scriptwriting team," said Shao Feng.

  "That genius writer Su Xincheng only used a month to complete a script of over 60 episodes, and was hailed as the genius among geniuses. What do you think about this, screenwriter Shao Feng?"

  "A genius among geniuses, the most likely possibility is that this is just a publicity stunt by the production team. After all, no one knows if it's really been written or not. But let's put aside whether it's true or not, even if Su Xichen did finish writing a 60-episode TV script in just one month, we can imagine that a script rushed out in such a short time would definitely have no highlights whatsoever." Shao Feng said with an air of superiority.

  Host Lie Lie heard Shao Feng's passionate words, his eyes shining brightly. This was the kind of behavior he loved most. "So according to your script, 'Journey to the West' is absolutely going to fail?"

  The host spoke rapidly and fiercely: "The script doesn't have a single bright spot, which means that in terms of ratings, it's impossible to surpass anything, right?"

  "Well, to put it this way, a newcomer who has never written a script before and has no experience in this area, can't possibly control a long series of over 60 episodes on their first try. Plus, with the influence of such hasty and rough work, the final product will definitely be disjointed and scattered. Of course, with Yu's guidance, even if it's bad, it won't be too terrible. But this work may become one of Yu's worst works since he started directing."

  Shaofeng blandly patted Yu Qiyuan's horse's butt: "CCTV's big production, this time it might end in a fiasco"

  Shao Feng predicted in "Entertainment Explosive News" that "Journey to the West 2" would definitely fail, and the main reason for this failure was Su Rui Chen's script. Later, in subsequent programs, Shao Feng strongly expressed his dissatisfaction with Su Rui Chen.

  "Entertainment Explosive News" still has a high rating, and this episode's broadcast is just adding insult to injury for the production team, with negative reviews pouring in.

  "The 59th shot, Akira!" The filming was proceeding in an orderly fashion, with hundreds of people on the crew, yet under Yu Qiyuan's arrangement, it didn't feel crowded at all. The entire crew seemed like a well-oiled machine, and every actor and staff member seemed like a component, each in their proper position, working together seamlessly.

  "To be honest, I really admire those reborn young people. No matter what profession they were before, after being reborn, they can immediately start filming as a director by plagiarizing scripts. Movies like 'Buried', 'Black Water', and 'The Forty-First' are still understandable, since they only have one scene and no more than three actors in the entire movie. But how do they manage to film those big-scene movies?" Su Xichen was somewhat perplexed "Do rebirths come with directing skills as a bonus?"

  In fact, it is very difficult to become a qualified director. Otherwise, there would not be a specialized directing department. Let alone the control of large scenes, even the details of filming are impossible for those who have not learned. From small things like where props should be placed to the position of actors and so on, all these are the responsibility of directors.

  Su Release Morning is now just an assistant director, and he already feels a bit overwhelmed. Although the tasks of an assistant director are not as heavy as those of the director, his main responsibilities include selecting roles and arranging some supporting actors. Being an actor is not a simple thing, sometimes the crew has to rush through four scenes in one night without sleep.

  Especially in the first two episodes, Sun Wukong jumped into the Water Curtain Cave. This shot was quite dangerous. The old version used special effects, but the special effects of more than 20 years ago were not very good, so it looked very fake. In order to make it look real, Yu Qiyuan actually "built" a Water Curtain Cave.

  It's just a simple setup, but the shot looks very realistic. Just for this one scene, building this waterfall cave cost tens of thousands, that's the style of a big production team.

  This shot requires a wire fu, and Sun Wukong's performer jumped over the waterfall thirty-seven times. One or two times were due to lighting issues, three or four times were because the actor was not familiar with it at first, and the rest were all because Yu Qiyuan felt that the angle was not right, or the position was not good enough, etc., so they had to reshoot, wasting a lot of film. The waterfall naturally needs water, and filming the actor jumping thirty-seven times means being splashed by water all the time.

  Although the amount of hair was reduced under Su Rui Chen's light makeup suggestion, it doesn't mean there is none. After all, Sun Wukong is a monkey and if he were to be completely like in "The Legend of Qin", that would not be realistic and audiences wouldn't accept it either, after all this is a TV series not an anime.

  Su Youpeng only reduced the monkey hair on his face, which can better set off the actor's heroic spirit. To know that in the first few episodes, Sun Wukong was not wearing clothes, and the monkey hair on his face was reduced, but not on his body, so the actor needed to wear a tight-fitting leather jacket, and on top of the leather jacket, there were artificial hairs similar to monkey hair stuck on it. This kind of tight-fitting clothing, constantly getting wet, just thinking about it makes one feel uncomfortable.

  Moreover, the actor who played Sun Wukong is also a big shot, but he didn't utter a word of complaint. Yu Qiyuan asked for a retake and he did it again without any argument, I guess that's what being professional means.

  "No, no, this expression is wrong. Sun Wukong becoming the Monkey King should be a proud and exhilarating feeling."

  "That extra is standing in the wrong position, let's do it again"

  "Light, give me some light"

  ……

  "It seems that being a director requires having a loud voice" This is Su Rui Chen's discovery, Yu Qi Yuan's voice can completely cover up all the background noise on set.

  However, it was a misunderstanding by Su Xilai. Generally, directors command using loudspeakers, but Yu Qiyuan never used one because his voice was loud enough, which can also be considered one of Yu Qiyuan's characteristics.

  The shooting went on in an orderly manner. During this time, Su Rui Chen received a call from Wang Ni. Wang Ni was still the same, casually asking him some questions.

  However, Su Xichen found that Wang Ni's attitude towards him seemed to be getting colder and colder. Before, when they made phone calls, they would still chat for a few sentences, but now the words were getting fewer and fewer.

  Su Release Morning was so depressed that he didn't know if he had offended Wang's aunt somewhere, and after thinking for a long time, his head hurt but still couldn't figure it out. However, the next phone call made Su Release Morning temporarily give up on this entangled problem.

  Zhao DanDan, Tang LingYu's mother and also the deputy editor-in-chief of YangCheng Daily, called.

  Then Su suddenly remembered the things Zhao Dan had set up.

  Su Xincheng carefully answered the phone, originally thinking it was to urge the manuscript of "Blood Character Research" which had finished its first part and hadn't been sent to the newspaper yet. But unexpectedly, Zhao Dandan seemed to have some problem and actually said not to write the manuscript for now.

  Zhao Dan didn't give a reason, and Su Xichen wasn't one to pry either, so he didn't ask.

  It was serialized in Yangcheng Evening News, and the manuscript fee for the first month of "Ordinary People Cultivating True Story" would be paid soon. Su Xincheng didn't care about this amount of money either, so he agreed.

  PS: Seeking recommendations and collections. Also recruiting a deputy editor, hmm, interested in private messaging little cat? Or join the group and tell little cat in the group.
