Chapter 273 Tai Chi Master

(Thanks to book friend "20170930115236372" for his 5 recommendation votes.)

Xie Yu said in shock: "Yang Luchan, Yang Luchan, the Tai Chi master, is he the Yang Luchan who created Tai Chi?"

Song Shihua nodded proudly and said, "It is indeed that Yang Luchan. It seems that Xiao Xie also knows something about Yang Luchan."

Xie Yu nodded: "Of course I know that this is not a secret in the traditional martial arts circle. To put it simply, it is the simplified twenty-four postures of Tai Chi practiced by the old man in the park fitness."

"It is the basic foundation for practicing the strength of jade ring piles and silk winding in Tai Chi. The twenty-four postures of following the meridian were used by Yang Luchan to select his disciples."

"It was only later that fitness and health care were very effective, and with the promotion of some well-intentioned people, it is now widely spread."

Song Shihua: "That's true. My grandfather is the vice-president of the National Tai Chi Association. I heard that they plan to include Tai Chi as a required physical education course in college students' physical education courses in the future."

Xie Yu said in astonishment: "It's a good idea to have a compulsory test in physical education courses for college students. If this succeeds, Tai Chi, which is already the number one boxing in the country, will become even more famous."

Song Shihua: "That's right. It's a pity that Ma Baoguo came out, and the reputation of traditional martial arts was ruined all of a sudden. The superiors also asked them to reconsider it because of this matter."

Xie Yu: "It is indeed a good thing to promote Tai Chi. It would be better if there is a recommendation from the government. However, if there is a scandal, the government will consider it. After all, the government has to answer to the people of the country."

Song Shihua looked at Xie Yu in surprise and said, "Xiao Xie, my grandpa said the same thing. Guess what he did."

Xie Yu glanced at Song Shihua in shock and said secretly: "I'm not the roundworm in your foreign belly. How can I guess this?"

However, at this time, Xie Yu suddenly thought of Song Shihua's identity as screenwriter and director, and also thought of Yang Luchan whom Song Shihua had just mentioned.

She couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister Song, your grandpa will not let you make a documentary about Yang Luchan, praise Yang Luchan, and use it as propaganda to dilute the impact of the Ma Baoguo incident on traditional martial arts!"

As expected, Song Shihua smiled and said: "Yes, Xiao Xie, you have a very bright mind and you reacted immediately. I remember that you seem to know Qingcheng Tai Chi. If you want to be an actor in my crew, I won't accept any red envelopes from you."

"

Xie Yu: "Actor? Red envelope? Sister Song, you don't plan to make a TV series, do you? And it's the kind where the money is not enough, the actors are tentatively decided, and the script is not yet available."

Song Shihua: "Oh, Xiao Xie just said that you have a bright mind, I didn't expect it! You can also draw inferences from one example. The situation is similar to what you said."

"This was originally my grandfather's idea. You also know the current social climate. Young people today like noisy singing and weird dancing."

"Thinking about traditional opera, crosstalk and martial arts, not many people like it except the older ones, and even some young people don't know the difference between martial arts and dance."

Xie Yu nodded and said, "That's true."

Song Shihua: "My original proposal was to make a documentary, but my grandpa didn't agree and demanded that it be made into a TV series. The TV station has already found it, saying it is an October gift and will be broadcast in October."

Xie Yu gave a thumbs up and said: "He is very good, but TV has intervened. There should be no shortage of funds. As long as there is no shortage of funds, there will be no shortage of actors. Sister Song can also be the screenwriter and director."

Song Shihua: "If only it was as simple as what you said, Xiao Xie. The TV station is the eighth channel in the capital and is not famous in the country."

"The producer is a student of my grandpa. For my grandpa's sake, he only invested 300,000 yuan. Including my grandpa's 2.1 million yuan, the total is only 2.4 million yuan."

Xie Yu: "Two million and four hundred thousand? Make a TV series? Sister, two million and four hundred thousand is a lot for ordinary people, but it's hard to even rent two decent high-definition cameras! Not to mention the actors' salaries.

There’s also post-production.”

Song Shihua: "That's it. I didn't expect you, Xiao Xie, to be very understanding. How can you help me? I told Miss Shen that you came to the capital on a casual business trip, so there's nothing wrong with you."

Xie Yu nodded and said depressedly: "It is indeed a casual job, and there are still two months of vacation."

After that, Xie Yu gave Song Shihua the two-month leave note in his pocket that Team Leader Yin and Coach Jin had approved together.

When Song Shihua saw it, she smiled even more proudly and said, "Xiao Xie, you should understand my intention of inviting you to dinner."

Xie Yu nodded: "I just realized it. I said Sister Song told me so concretely that she wanted to get me to join her."

Song Shihua: "Why don't you thank me? If you don't give me face, I will give you, Teacher Shen Ying, face. Do it or not!"

Xie Yu: "Do it, of course. It'll be fine anyway. Just treat it as learning and experience."

Song Shihua: "Sure enough, the situation is tense. Don't worry, Xiao Xie, I will give you a red envelope after the filming is over."

Xie Yu waved her hand and said: "Forget it, Sister Song, just take care of the food, but I only have two months, tell me your arrangements again!"

Song Shihua affirmed: "Two months is enough. I have almost written the literary script. I am still writing the storyboard script. You can take a look and express your opinions when you have time."

"As for the filming equipment, don't worry, my grandpa personally came forward and borrowed a set from the Opera Academy for free. However, there is a time limit for the other party to only use it for thirty days, which is one month, and they are not allowed to take it out of the capital."

Xie Yu: "One month, Sister Song, although I don't know much about it, but it would be a little difficult to make a TV show in one month."

"Yes, it's good that the other party let us use the shooting equipment for free for a month. This can save a lot of money."

"However, Sister Song must have other conditions for the other party!"

Song Shihua: "Of course, there is still the matter of promoting the opera and arranging a few characters, so you don't have to worry about that."

"One month is indeed a short time, but if the rehearsal is good, the shots are done solidly, and everything goes according to plan, it can be barely completed in one month."

"Xiao Xie, I know your ability. I will give you the position of assistant director. When the filming starts, you may have to work as a martial arts instructor."

"Your current task is to help me with the drama and logistics. If circumstances permit, Xiaoxie, I will arrange a role for you when the time comes."

Xie Yu said: "Sister Song, this is no problem, but I feel like you are a polished commander!"

Song Shihua gave a wry smile and said, "You're really just a polished commander. As soon as they heard about my old relationship and that I was the director, everyone came here."

"But knowing that with only an investment of 2.4 million, a traditional martial arts biography TV series has been running away, I can only find cheap interns to support it first."

"But I'm thinking about a way now. Can I ask the old man to get all the people from the Drama School here? I should be able to save a lot by then."

Xie Yu could only hold out his thumb and say: "Sister Song, you are amazing, you are doing the dojo in a screw shell, you are moving around!"

Song Shihua: "There is no way. With such a small budget, we still have to find a soundtrack and theme song, and special effects cost a lot of money."

"Actually, the special effects can be shot in real-life situations as much as possible. This is what the old man also requested. It's just that the soundtrack and theme song are difficult to do."

"Xiao Xie, you should also know that a good soundtrack and theme song can beat half of a TV series."

Xie Yu was shocked and said: "Sister Song, she wants to buy an exclusive soundtrack and theme song. It should cost a lot!"

Song Shihua said with a headache: "This is my grandpa's request for a new theme song, and there's nothing I can do about it."
