Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 537 - 418: A Brand-New Medical Drama That Can Trigger Adrenaline?
PM.
Entrance of the Eastern Hospital guest room.
Received a call from Liu Xuedong, and after seeing his patients, Zhao Heng came right over.
As soon as he walked in, Zhao Heng saw Old Luo and Liu Xuedong sitting together, chatting happily about something. Sitting next to Luo Ji were a man and a woman. Zhao Heng didn’t recognize the man, but the woman seemed to be that "Leg Queen" Zhang Li that Tian Zhen had mentioned.
Indeed, she had fair skin and delicate features, definitely a stunning beauty at first glance.
"Director Zhao, you’re here, have a seat."
Seeing Zhao Heng arrive, Liu Xuedong immediately greeted him.
"Little Zhao, I bet you didn’t expect me."
Old Luo said with a smile.
"I really didn’t expect it until Director Liu told me."
Zhao Heng sat down and said leisurely.
"Director Liu, I told you not to tell Little Zhao in advance, you should’ve given him a surprise."
Old Luo said half-jokingly.
"Director Zhao, Director Luo, I have something to do, why don’t you guys chat?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Seeing that Zhao Heng and Luo Ji indeed knew each other, Liu Xuedong felt relieved and spoke to the two.
"Sure, Director Liu, you go ahead."
Old Luo nodded cheerfully.
After Liu Xuedong left, Zhao Heng casually said to Luo Ji, "Old Luo, I was just saying you haven’t been in touch recently, turns out you’re onto a big project."
"It’s just a small project, not a big one. If it weren’t for you filming a medical science video at my place last time, I wouldn’t have thought of doing a medical drama."
Old Luo laughed and said.
Hearing Zhao Heng and Luo Ji chatting so casually, the leading male actor Ren Cong and the leading female actress Zhang Li, sitting nearby, both looked curious.
One is a young genius doctor, the other a big director, how come they seem so familiar with each other?
"So I inspired you, huh?"
Zhao Heng laughed and said.
"If it weren’t for market issues now, I’d want to shoot a story about a genius doctor based on you."
Luo Ji nodded with certainty.
"By the way, Little Zhao, let me introduce you, these two are the lead actors in the drama, this is Ren Cong, and this is Zhang Li."
After a pause, Luo Ji introduced the lead actors to Zhao Heng.
"Dr. Zhao, hello."
Ren Cong and Zhang Li greeted Zhao Heng in unison.
"I know, I’ve watched your dramas."
Zhao Heng nodded.
"Dr. Zhao, you’ve watched the dramas I’ve acted in?"
Hearing this, Ren Cong said with some surprise.
Although he graduated from a formal acting school, to be honest, he had mostly played supporting roles. This time, in the drama "Youth Doctor," it was his first time as the lead male.
As everyone knows, if an actor doesn’t play the lead male role, it’s hard to leave a deep impression on the audience.
"Yes, I watched the ’Pleasant Surprise’, and it left a deep impression."
Zhao Heng nodded again and said.
"Dr. Zhao, I acted in that movie, right?"
Upon hearing Zhao Heng say this, Zhang Li couldn’t help but laugh.
As for Ren Cong, he was a bit embarrassed but quickly adjusted and said, " ’Pleasant Surprise’ is indeed a rare urban comedy; it’s normal for Dr. Zhao to have a deep impression."
"What left the deepest impression on you about me in the movie, Dr. Zhao?"
Zhang Li asked curiously.
Eastern Hospital is very famous, and Ren Cong and Zhang Li naturally knew about it. Knowing that the drama was going to be filmed there, and that a supposed genius doctor would be the medical consultant, the two felt a bit excited and intrigued.
After all, dramas produced by Midday Sun have guaranteed quality. If this drama becomes popular, they might gain some fame.
"Uh..."
Zhao Heng was momentarily stumped by Zhang Li’s question.
Could he say that when watching the movie, the focus of his attention on Zhang Li was her fair skin, beautiful appearance, and long legs typical of a city woman?
It’s a bit superficial, but in the entertainment industry, beauty is the biggest asset of a female star, so it’s not something unspeakable.
"Old Luo, where’s the screenwriter, why aren’t they here?"
Zhao Heng decided to change the topic and asked Luo Ji.
"We’ve already bought the script. Actually, it’s just a framework. For the story about doctors, I want to hear your advice. After all, you’re a professional doctor."
Luo Ji said slowly.
"Listen to my advice? If a doctor’s real work and life were filmed, it might not be as glamorous as the public imagines. Would anyone watch it?"
Zhao Heng looked at Luo Ji with some surprise. He originally thought Luo Ji just wanted to ask him some questions about medical knowledge, but didn’t expect he’d be looking for inspiration.
At present, not to mention medical dramas, even medical documentaries that Zhao Heng has seen are restrained and don’t fully portray the real work and life of doctors.
Art is derived from life but also transcends it. If too real, the audience might not be able to accept it.
"As long as something is good and resonates, there will surely be an audience. You don’t have to worry about it, even I’m not worried as a director."
Luo Ji smiled slightly and said.
"Little Zhao, you know, current medical dramas are too far from reality, so for this one, I want to shoot it realistically."
After a pause, Luo Ji said.
With Midday Sun’s capacity and connections, once this drama is shot, there’s no risk of losing money. The difference is whether it becomes popular or not.
After all, cost-wise, Luo Ji is a director of his own company, and the lead actors, Ren Cong and Zhang Li, aren’t big stars, not even minor stars. There’s no need to mention the supporting roles.
