Rebirth of a CV Star

Chapter 33: Script

Due to the request of various TV Stations, 《Dream of the Red Mansions》, which was one of the four masterpieces, was given to Director Ma Yu Huai three years ago. Miao Han Lin thought that the anime industry must not fall behind. He invited three influential directors last year: Chen Yu Chao, Tan Hai Yao, and Tang Xin. They had to film this year, and finish next year to play it on time during summer.

Based on the normal shooting time of television series, a year is enough to produce an elaborate series. Animation did not take much time. In Huaxia, dramas and anime were serialized. However, this was the regulation of a local television station. If it was to be played in various television stations, then no matter how influential of a director you are, you were required to follow the rules. After filming, the content had to be positive.

As one of the four masterpieces, 《Dream of the Red Mansions》had to be positive and educational. When the TV stations were recruiting directors, it was the first time that directors from all walks of life competed, not sparing any of their competitors. They played every kind of crafty plots and machinations. Even the assistant director position was enough to entice them. After all, who did not want their names to go down the annals of history? Who did not want to ride on the coattails of a National Television Alliance?

In the end, Ma Yu Huai and Miao Han Lin prevailed and became the main directors of 《Dream of the Red Mansions》. They were accompanied by a number of assistant directors, forming the crew of 《Dream of the Red Mansions》.

The audition of 《Dream of the Red Mansions》 took three hours. However, only the pre-selection was finished, and not the final selection.

Before filming, the actors had to train in Ancient Huaxia's etiquette for a whole month. The directors monitored the actors and actresses' way of speaking, their bearing, and how they act in certain situations. Even the way they eat and sleep was under supervision. Each week, actors who did not meet the requirements would be eliminated. In the fourth week, the list of the actors for 《Dream of the Red Mansions》 would be finalized. Something could go wrong during the filming, so there were a lot of spare tires.

They would select people who could adapt to this strict competition the most. Many people were eliminated earlier on, so what was left would be the best of the best. Some actors' looks and acting skills were in line with the requirements of 《Dream of the Red Mansions》, however, it was a pity that their voices were quite unpleasant to hear.

The appearance of Wang Xifeng in the original work was beautiful, luxurious, charming, astute, and someone who had the gift of gab. The crew found a suitable actress, she was very good, but her voice was too delicate. Her acting warranted full marks, but her voice had no strength. The actress' voice was sweet and wonderful, but the character she had to play was a girl with a pleasant and low-pitched voice. This was something that almost made everyone swear.With these kinds of actors, they simply could not bring out the original work's essence. A voice actor was needed, must not delay!

Ma Yu Huai was a stern man in his thirties. Other directors would have a huge belly and thin hair. They loved wearing vests on set. He was not like that. He had serious mysophobia, so he usually wore suits. During the meeting with all of the directors at the office, it was the hottest day of summer, others wore shirts and were sweating like dogs, while he was calmly using his handkerchief to wipe his sweat away.

Miao Han Lin, who was a gentle middle-aged man, was older than him. He smiled whenever he makes eye contact with anyone. However, you must not be fooled by his smile. When he scolded people, he did not treat people kindly at all.

Having a crew with this much personality, the actors naturally lived in dire straits every day. When the directors were in a good mood, they were at ease, even being able to eat soup at dinner. However, if they do not perform well, the directors would be in a foul mood. They had no choice but to endure the directors' scolding.
