Chapter 47: Upward Opportunities
Guo Fengyun is not only the director, but also the deputy director of the film and television department, and he has a very strong voice in the entire department, so although "Baolian Lantern" has just been approved and is in the preparation stage, and filming has not officially started, Guo Fengyun personally spoke, and the crew of "Baolian Lantern" did not dare to disobey the words of the top boss, plus the crew lacked the theme song and film and television soundtrack, so Wei Jianping and Yu Jiaming also agreed to come and take a look.
Yu Jiaming is well aware of the complexity of the mainland system, and it is not surprising that he is aware of this.
But on the way here, I heard that the other party was Zheng Qian, the author of the song "I Really Love You", and I was really surprised.
Although Zheng Qian is unknown in Hong Kong, because of the song "I Really Love You", Zheng Qian has enough weight in the hearts of many Hong Kong singers, after all, this song has dominated the top three on the song list of major radio stations in Hong Kong for two consecutive weeks, and now it is a well-known song.
Therefore, Yu Jiaming is also quite optimistic about this theme song cooperation.
However, although he is also a director, he is only responsible for the special effects, and he is responsible for all the filming of this "Baolian Lantern" in front of the green cloth, and the post-production special effects are also produced by the team he leads.
Because it is a mythological drama, his weight is quite heavy, but if you really talk about the status of the on-site director, he, an external director, is still not as good as the local Wei Jianping.
Wei Jianping has very old qualifications in the film and television department, and has assisted in the filming of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1998, in the entire department, he is a veteran director, as soon as the "Baolian Lantern" project was announced, he took the lead in getting the position of director, but because he is good at filming some short mother-in-law dramas and anti-Japanese dramas in Chinese dramas, he is not proficient in special effects, so he can only have no choice but to hire an external director to assist in the production of special effects.
Now that the actor is in the preparation stage, and the filming is about to officially start, the theme song and the film and television soundtrack are not the focus today, but Guo Fengyun personally asked, and the two did not dare to be disobedient.
"This is the general outline of the script of "Baolian Lantern", Mr. Zheng, you can take it back and look at it, find inspiration, and look forward to Mr. Zheng's work as soon as possible. ”
Compared with Wei Jianping's coldness, Yu Jiaming was very enthusiastic, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng doesn't need to worry, this time "Baolian Lantern" is expected to shoot 35 episodes, it will take about two months, you have enough time to create." ”
At this time, Zheng Qian suddenly asked, "Director Yu, have you recruited all the actors?"
Yu Jiaming was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "It's probably all together, Mr. Zheng wants to make a cameo?"
He is not surprised by this, if Zheng Qian wants to make a cameo, he will not be prevented, many singers in the music industry are interested in imitating Liu Yihua and becoming a superstar in film and television songs, arranging a small dragon in the crew is just a matter of his words, after all, it is a TV series, there is no need to strive for perfection like a movie, and it will not conflict with the plot during specific shooting.
"Not really. ”
Zheng Qian groaned and said: "I have a friend named Meng Haitao, he originally had the opportunity to audition for "Baolian Lantern", and deliberately postponed all the schedules for the interview, but in the end he was told that the interview was canceled, I think it's a pity, he is really a very hard-working actor with good acting skills, he has struggled in the film and television industry for ten years, and he just wants to wait for an opportunity." ”
"And what's going on?"
Wei Jianping frowned and asked: "I am responsible for the auditions for "Baolian Lantern", and the actors are also set by me, which role is your friend going to interview for?"
Zheng Qian thought for a while and said, "Erlang God Yang Jian." ”
When Wei Jianping heard this, he suddenly suddenly said: "Well, I remembered, the crew's field service pony mentioned this matter to me, and this role was finally won by Yin Kang...... Yin Kang is a person sent by Huaying Media. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was stunned.
Yin Kang can be regarded as a more eye-catching existence among the new generation of actors, five years after his debut, the first three years in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and he has cooperated with Cheng Jiaban, he is experienced in action scenes, and his appearance is quite handsome, so there is no pressure to play the role of Erlang God, plus it is operated by Huaying Media himself, and it is not surprising to win such an important role as Erlang God Yang Jian.
Zheng Qian was also taken aback, and sighed secretly in his heart.
No wonder, the strength and background of the competitors are so strong, and it is normal for Meng Haitao to be kicked out.
At this time, Guo Fengyun said: "This is not very suitable, since I negotiated the audition with others, and they specially pushed down all the schedules for interviews for this reason, you directly deducted the opportunity to interview because this role was asked for by someone sent by a large company?"
When Wei Jianping heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Director Guo, you can't say that, Yin Kang must be much higher than this Meng Haitao in terms of fame and strength, and if you don't have an interview, the result is actually the same, so why don't we be direct? Save time and cost, which is very good for everyone." ”
Guo Fengyun shook his head, "Jianping, what you did wrong in this matter, if a person is even deprived of the qualification to work upward, then what is the difference between us and capitalism?"
Wei Jianping felt that the cold sweat was coming down, the hat of capitalism was too serious, even if he had now entered the twenty-first world, but the people who came from that era were extremely sensitive to this description, twenty or thirty years ago, Guo Fengyun's words could make Wei Jianping stumble from now on, and maybe he would have to affect his family.
His determination just now disappeared in an instant, and his face was a little panicked: "This matter is indeed my carelessness, Director Guo is right, no matter what, young people cannot be deprived of the opportunity to climb upward, I will arrange an interview, Director Guo rest assured, this time I will personally sit in charge, during the audition, I promise to be fair and just, to be absolutely transparent, and never consider the background, who has good acting skills and strong strength, the role of Yang Jian is whoever." ”
Guo Fengyun nodded, he was not ready to go online.
In fact, if he didn't really favor Zheng Qian, he wouldn't have personally lobbied, no way, the so-called love house and Wu, the song "For Whom" outlines the memories that are buried in his heart, last night he kept opening the diary he wrote in the years when he was a soldier, looking at the figures who trained hard to protect his family and defend the country, as well as the trivial bickering daily life in the barracks, the blurred faces of his comrades-in-arms reunited in his mind, and everyone's faces were so young and cute, so that he almost couldn't sleep all night.
