Chapter 659: Filming?
On Zhao Cheng's side, after returning to work, he received reports from various places. The local public security system received many reports, and cases of murder and robbery gradually increased.
Zhao Cheng immediately thought of the crackdown that would begin in the second half of the year.
"What a troubled time!" Zhao Cheng sighed. Although many people were wrongly accused this time, it still played a positive role in the overall situation.
If we hadn't experienced several crackdowns, it would have been impossible for us to go out at night and eat skewers and drink beer.
Zhao Cheng knew that this incident had little to do with him. At most, he would cooperate with the local police to complete the arrest and other tasks, and then cooperate in the execution of those prisoners sentenced to death.
And at this time, an unexpected person found Zhao Cheng.
"Leader, someone from CCTV is here!" Secretary Wang pushed the door open and walked in and said to Zhao Cheng.
"Let them in!" Zhao Cheng put down the work in his hands and asked Secretary Wang to bring the people in.
There were two people from the TV station, a woman and a man. Zhao Cheng looked at the woman who came in and felt very surprised.
"Hello Director Yang, I'm Zhao Cheng!" Zhao Cheng took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with the woman. This woman is now a director at CCTV, her name is Yang Jie.
"Mr. Zhao, we have something to ask you, so we asked the Propaganda Department to find you! I hope you don't blame us!" Director Yang said very politely.
"It's okay. We are all here to serve the people. Please tell me if you have anything to say!" Zhao Cheng probably guessed that Director Yang came for something, so he let Director Yang speak directly.
"It's like this, Mr. Zhao. We are currently filming the TV series Journey to the West, and we need your help with some big scenes!" Director Yang said politely.
"Oh? What kind of help do you need from us?" Zhao Cheng was full of curiosity. If they were filming Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they might even need the help of the armed police force. After all, there were many war scenes in it, which would be difficult for ordinary extras to do.
But Journey to the West doesn’t seem to have so many large-scale scenes, right?
"Mr. Zhao, when we were filming a lot of scenes that required heavenly soldiers and generals, some of the police officers involved made mistakes, so we would like to ask you to coordinate and see if you can transfer some armed police comrades to play these heavenly soldiers and generals." Director Yang said.
"Do you mean that you want us to send some people to play those heavenly soldiers and generals? This should be no problem. After all, you are also promoting our traditional culture. I just don't know how many people you need?" Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said.
"It will probably take a whole group of people!" Director Yang said a little embarrassedly.
Director Yang was indeed a little embarrassed about this. After all, their funds were limited, and they had to pay people for acting. But everyone knew that the salary was very low! This was also what she felt embarrassed about.
"How long will it take?" Zhao Cheng asked.
"It's hard to say for sure, but it will probably take at least a week," Director Yang said.
"A week?" Zhao Cheng pondered. A week wasn't a lot of time, but could a whole crew be used to shoot a TV series, especially Journey to the West?
"Director Yang, since you can find me through Minister Zhang, I will definitely fully support your work, but one regiment is too many, I can only dispatch one battalion at most! And your crew must provide meals!" Zhao Cheng said after thinking for a while.
"Really? No problem! We will make sure the soldiers have enough to eat!" Director Yang was very happy when she heard that Zhao Cheng agreed to allocate a battalion of troops to cooperate with them in the filming. She originally thought that it would be good enough to borrow a company and let these people stand in the front.
But now that we have a camp, filming will be no problem at all!
Seeing Director Yang's happy expression, Zhao Cheng knew that he had given too much, but Zhao Cheng did not regret it.
Director Yang's business was over, but the man behind him poked her, which made her a little embarrassed.
The person who came with Director Yang was called Wang Fulin. He didn't have the face to come to Zhao Cheng, but his matter needed Zhao Cheng's consent, so he asked Director Yang to bring him along when he came to see Zhao Cheng.
"Who is this?" Zhao Cheng asked politely.
"Mr. Zhao, this is my colleague Wang Fulin. He needs your help with a small matter!" Director Yang said.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.
"Mr. Zhao, Zhao Weiyu is your son, right?" Wang Fulin asked.
"Yes, it's my son! What happened?" Zhao Cheng became even more curious.
"We would like to invite Zhao Weiyu to star in the TV series Dream of Red Mansions which we are about to start filming, and play the role of Jia Baoyu!" Wang Fulin said courageously.
He knew that families like the Zhao family generally would not agree to their children acting, and the acting profession was not that good.
However, Wang Fulin had even looked everywhere in Peking, but could not find the image of Jia Baoyu that he had in mind. So now other actors were being trained, but there was still no suitable candidate to play Jia Baoyu.
Before, Wang Fulin went to various schools to select from the junior and senior high school students to see if there was a suitable one. He saw Zhao Weiyu in a high school in Peking. The handsome young man fit the image of Jia Baoyu in Wang Fulin's mind very well.
After making inquiries from many sources, he found out that the child's name was Zhao Weiyu. Wang Fulin originally wanted to trick Zhao Weiyu into joining the crew by promising him a rosy picture, but when he saw his parents, he was dumbfounded.
He has a father who is the commander-in-chief of the armed police force and a mother who is a retired vice minister of the Ministry of Social Affairs. You want him to act in a play? Isn't this a joke?
So Wang Fulin gave up the idea of letting Zhao Weiyu act, but later he couldn't find anyone, so he thought of Zhao Weiyu again, but how to convince his parents to agree became a problem.
In the end, it was the assistant director who asked him to go directly to the station to inquire about the situation. When he went to find the station director, he happened to meet Director Yang who was also looking for the director for help. After learning that they were both looking for the same person, he persuaded him to come.
After listening to Wang Fulin's words, Zhao Cheng thought of Lin Daiyu, who had exhausted the gentleness of Northeastern girls for three hundred years. However, Zhao Cheng did not interfere with the child's development. He still had to ask the child's opinion on this matter.
"Director Wang, I can't answer you about this matter now. I have to go back and discuss it with his mother. Please leave me your contact information. If his mother has no objection and the child is willing, I can let the child go." Zhao Cheng said with a smile.
"Really?" Wang Fulin stood up excitedly.
"Really, just go back and wait for my news. I will give you an answer in three days at most!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.
"Secretary Wang!" Zhao Cheng called out.
"lead!"
"You contact Director Yang and find out where she is filming. We will send a battalion of troops to support Director Yang and cooperate with her in the filming. Let's find out where the filming location is and transfer people from the nearest place!" Zhao Cheng said.
