Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 538 - 418: A Brand-New Medical Drama That Can Trigge
Plus, since it’s an urban drama, the cost won’t be too high.
"You’ve worked on videos before and you’re a professional doctor. You’re definitely the best consultant for this drama."
After a pause, Luo Ji continued.
"Old Luo, you didn’t co to Eastern Hospital to scout locations just because of , did you?"
Hearing Luo Ji’s words, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but think of a possibility.
"Haha, you found out."
Luo Ji smiled with a childish grin and said.
To be honest, ever since his last series flopped because of a certain celebrity, he had been searching for new inspiration. After eting Zhao Heng, especially after Zhao Heng shot that science video in his studio, Luo Ji suddenly found inspiration.
Though dical dramas are considered niche, they actually have a market. However, the current ones have too many flaws and can’t gain the audience’s approval.
"This ti, the reputation of my series completely depends on you."
After a pause, Luo Ji continued.
Shooting a professional drama is very difficult. Just look at those nurous god-awful series we see every year, like hitting a target from 800 kiloters away, hiding grenades in pants, or bun grenades, they almost beco jokes.
"Do you have the script? Let take a look first."
Zhao Heng nodded, quickly getting into the groove. If he’s going to do it, he has to be serious about it.
Working with Luo Ji to produce a professional and plot-rich dical drama, letting the public understand real doctors, is also a very aningful task for Zhao Heng, who is also a doctor.
"Here you go."
Luo Ji retrieved a script from his bag and handed it to Zhao Heng.
"Old Luo, you’re such a big-ti director. Why don’t you have an assistant for these things and still carry the script yourself?"
Zhao Heng took the script from Luo Ji and said half-jokingly.
"Okay, next ti I’ll have ten or eight assistants following , carrying water cups and bags, all sorts."
Luo Ji smiled and said.
In terms of which industry’s practitioners have the most assistants, it’s undoubtedly the entertainnt industry. Especially for A-list celebrities, if they don’t have ten or eight assistants with them, how would people know they’re famous?
Seeing Luo Ji and Zhao Heng chatting happily, Ren Cong and Zhang Li exchanged glances, eyes full of surprise. This pair of unlikely friends genuinely surprised the two of them.
In the industry, Luo Ji is known for being strict and humorless, with very high standards for actors. Because of his deep experience and strong background, at noon under the sun, aside from a few people, Luo Ji is generally cold and aloof to others.
So Luo Ji’s current chatty and occasionally joking deanor really stunned the two of them. Seeing this scene, they decided that in future interactions with Zhao Heng, they must adjust their stance and not put on airs as actors.
Taking the script, Zhao Heng started to read it seriously. After a while, after finishing, Zhao Heng returned the script to Luo Ji.
"How is it?"
Seeing Zhao Heng’s expressionless face after reading the script, Luo Ji wasn’t sure what Zhao Heng’s opinion was.
"Do you want the truth?"
Zhao Heng asked.
"Of course, if I didn’t want the truth, what would I ask you for?"
Luo Ji nodded. He’s already tired of hearing flattery within the circle.
"There are so mistakes in the dical knowledge, but that’s easily corrected. However, the storyline is a bit loose, sowhat lodramatic."
Zhao Heng thought for a mont and said, and since he was going to speak up, he decided to voice his real feelings.
"Hmm, go into detail."
Luo Ji nodded, signaling Zhao Heng to continue. What he wanted to hear were views like this. To be honest, there are plenty of scripts like this in the entertainnt industry. Most dical dramas in the past were shot following this rhythm.
The biggest problem with dostic film and television works is that they try to convey too much, adding a bit of everything, especially trying to educate people with every piece.
"I’m not very familiar with making TV dramas, but from a dical perspective, the actual clinical pace is very fast, especially in critical situations. Life and death can be decided in an instant. I suggest telling one story per episode, condensing the cause and effect into one episode."
Zhao Heng thoughtfully said.
"Little Zhao, you an just dive right in without any setup?"
Luo Ji, slightly understanding Zhao Heng’s aning, said with a bright look.
"When it cos to dicine, there’s definitely no buffer. When a patient cos in, the doctor must imdiately treat and make a decision. Life and death outcos are imdiate."
Zhao Heng nodded and said.
"Your idea has so rit."
Luo Ji pondered over what Zhao Heng said, which is clearly completely different from the usual lodramatic urban drama shooting style and rhythm in the country.
In dostic shows, just the background introduction, character description, and inner monologues take up quite a bit of ti.
"There are too many dramas using a dical backdrop for love stories. Old Luo, how about producing sothing that directly stimulates adrenaline, highlights the risks and fast pace of dicine, sothing that gets the heart racing?"
Zhao Heng continued.
"That’s a good idea; we can try that. Let think about it."
Being an experienced director, Luo Ji imdiately ca up with many new ideas, and Zhao Heng’s words sparked his creative inspiration.
"By the way, I need you to help familiarizing with the hospital environnt today. I need to think through the script first."
After a pause, Luo Ji added to Zhao Heng.
"Alright."
Zhao Heng nodded.
Soon, they arrived at Zhao Heng’s office. Arranging for environnt familiarization, Zhao Heng had Liu ng take Ren Cong and Zhang Li around. He didn’t have the ti to accompany the actors all the ti.
anwhile, Ren Cong and Zhang Li were following Liu ng, familiarizing themselves with the ward’s environnt.
"Doctor Liu, what kind of patients are mainly admitted to this place?"
Following behind Liu ng, Zhang Li curiously asked.
As an actor, she often had to play different roles, and sotis to achieve a certain performance level, she had to experience various professional settings firsthand.
But the job of a doctor, a bit mysterious to the public, was sothing Zhang Li hadn’t experienced before.
"A variety, mainly complex and difficult cases."
Liu ng replied.
Zhang Li was quite adept socially. In no ti, she seed to get along well with Liu ng, which wasn’t surprising. If you couldn’t manage that in the entertainnt circle, you would’ve been eliminated long ago.
"That’s quite impressive. Dr. Liu, Director Zhao is so young; I’ve never seen such a young director."
Zhang Li exclaid again.
People living on food grains can’t avoid getting sick, so Zhang Li had been to hospitals many tis with family mbers. However, the directors she t were usually in their forties. She had never seen soone as young as Zhao Heng.
"A doctor’s skill isn’t asured by age."
Liu ng said slowly.
She thought to herself, not only have you never seen one, but I haven’t either.
"That’s true."
Zhang Li nodded.
In just a short while, she noticed that doctors in this ward seed particularly confident and had an uplifting spirit, quite different from the other exhausted-looking doctors she’d seen.
The atmosphere in a workplace often reflects the deanor of its leader.
So, Zhang Li’s curiosity about the young Director Zhao grew even stronger.
In the entertainnt industry, young stars quickly rising to fa are not uncommon, but in the dical field, it’s rare.
"Doctor Liu, what would it be like for doctors to date each other?"
Ren Cong suddenly asked, as in the drama, both the male and female leads are doctors, naturally involving romantic subplots.
So, he wanted to understand what a romance between doctors would be like. If it’s portrayed too unrealistically, it might cost fans. Ren Cong truly valued the opportunity to play the male lead this ti.
