Chapter 110: Speeding Up Progress

This is the third time that Yi Qing has come to Director Wang Fulin's house, and he has never paid attention to it before, but when he came over again today, he found that Wang Fulin, a great director, lived in such a shabby place.

In later generations, those great directors at the level of Director Wang, such as the bearded one, and many of his peers, lived in either mansions or villas.

And director Wang Fulin lives in a very ordinary community, and there is an old building in the community that is 30 years old and almost the same age as the Republic.

When Yi Qing walked into the door of the unit, he found that the cement floor under his feet was actually cracked, and even some pieces of the cement floor were taken away after being smashed by a naughty child.

is running a major project of CCTV, and the living conditions are no different from ordinary people, Yi Qing can't help but sigh that literary and artistic workers at this time can really add the word "people" in front of this title.

On the third floor, he knocked on the door gently, and a tired voice responded: "Who?"

Yi Qing hurriedly said: "Director Wang, I am Yi Qing. ”

Click.

The sound was particularly loud when the door lock was opened, and Director Wang Fulin stood at the door, looking at Yi Qing, obviously knowing his intention, and turned sideways: "Come in!"

Yi Qing followed Director Wang and walked in, the space of the house is not large, a bedroom, a bathroom, the cooking place is on the balcony, and the rest of the space is the living room, which can only be placed under a table and a few chairs.

Ren Assembly, Zhou Ling was also there, Yi Qing saw it, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Take a chair and sit on it!"

Wang Fulin sat back as he spoke, lit a cigarette, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and looked full of vicissitudes.

Obviously, during the period when the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" was suspended, he was under a lot of pressure, and now he finally has the opportunity to resume filming, and his nervous spirit has relaxed a little.

Ren Dahui opened his mouth at this time: "Xiao Yi, you came here for Guo Xiaozhen's business, right?"

Yi Qing nodded: "Director, Director Wang, I'm ~~~~~~ over there"

Later, Yi Qing didn't know what to say, when "Dream of Red Mansions" stopped filming, he poached Guo Xiaozhen to shoot "I Love My Family", although Director Wang also agreed at that time, but he also said in advance, once "Dream of Red Mansions" is remade, people must be sent back unconditionally.

But now, Yi Qing really can't do it, "I Love My Home" has just started filming, if the actors are changed at this time, many scripts that have been written later, as well as the shooting plans that have been set, will have to be changed, and so suddenly, let Yi Qing go where to find another actor to play the little nanny.

Director Wang Fulin sighed and said: "We also talked about this matter just now, I don't know about the situation on your side, but since you have come to the door, don't you plan to release people now?"

was broken by Director Wang's thoughts, Yi Qing sneered: "Director Wang, it's not that I don't plan to release people, it's really a little difficult." ”

Ren Dahui said with a straight face: "Xiao Yi, that's not what you said, the crew on your side is in difficulty, is there no difficulty for the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions"? You also came out of the actor training class, how much everyone has paid for this scene, you should also know very well, the filming was stopped before, and seeing that everyone's hard work was about to be in vain, now it is finally agreed to reshoot, you don't say support, but you have to dig the corner of the crew, do you think it is appropriate?"

It's definitely not suitable!

"Director, I also look forward to the smooth completion of our filming, smooth broadcasting, and meeting the audience as soon as possible, but ~~~~~ like this, Director Wang, ten days, just ten days, I can finish filming Guo Xiaozhen's scene in ten days, do you think it's okay?"

"A week!" Director Wang Fulin looked up at Yi Qing, "Xiao Yi, I'm not embarrassed for you, I really can't afford to wait here, we plan to leave for the location in Hangzhou in a week, I can only give you a week, when the time comes, Guo Xiaozhen will follow everyone to set off, you know, the crew's funds are not abundant, if you book a train ticket for Guo Xiaozhen separately at that time, it will cost you more." ”

"Director Wang, I'll personally send someone over to you!" Yi Qing said, "Ten days later, I will take Guo Xiaozhen to Hangzhou for you, if it is a day late, I will compensate for any losses caused to the crew!"

When Yi Qing said this, Wang Fulin and Ren General Assembly were stunned, could he afford to pay it?

"Xiao Yi, this is not good, Guo Xiaozhen is an actor in "The Crew of Red Mansions", as a director, I am responsible for her, you send people over, no, no, definitely not, if something happens on the way, I can't explain it to her parents. ”

Yi Qing was really helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Director Wang, what can happen? You also know that I often go out by train, and with me with me, are you still afraid that it will not be safe!?"

I'm afraid of you!

Of course, Wang Fulin is not easy to say this, but I can't help but think so, they are all young children, and their minds in that area are the most budding, although the crew has repeatedly ordered that they are not allowed to fall in love, and they are not allowed to fall in love, but which one is safe, and the sneaky pairs in the crew at the moment really think that they have done a good job of secrecy?

Wang Fulin is actually clear, but he feels that it is not easy for everyone, and the relationship between people is confirmed, and he really can't bear to beat the mandarin ducks.

Yi Qing can have a girlfriend when he takes a train, if he escorts Guo Xiaozhen south, what will happen to the two of them on the train?

Wang Fulin was about to open his mouth to refuse, but at this time, Zhou Ling spoke: "Director Wang, I think Xiao Yi is indeed embarrassed, let's do it, I still have something to deal with here in the capital, so I will go a few days late, and when Xiao Yi's crew is done, I will take Guo Xiaozhen to Hangzhou with him, what do you think?"

When Yi Qing heard this, he immediately thanked Zhou Ling for his kindness.

Wang Fulin was also stunned, and then smiled: "You person, I really don't know how much benefit this kid has given you, you help him so much." ”

Zhou Ling also smiled and said: "There is no benefit, but Xiao Yi is indeed at a critical time now, I didn't expect him to be the director of production so soon, and now that he is in charge of a crew for the first time, we old-timers can't help but support it!"

Wang Fulin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, just ten days, Xiao Yi, you have promised me that after ten days, you must send people over!"

Yi Qing hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, after ten days, you will definitely send people over with all beards and shadows." ”

Now, Yi Qing is also down-to-earth, ten days should be enough, Guo Xiaozhen's role as a nanny is not much, in the first season, there are only two stories that are her highlights, one is the two episodes of pretending to be sick in the original version, and the other is the object of Xiao Liu who fried fritters, and it turned out that the episode where people have wives should be easily done in these ten days, if you shoot intensively.

The only thing that is difficult is the shooting plan, and the current shooting plan is to shoot a story every day, and the short ones will be combined into one episode, and the long ones will be divided into two episodes.

Yi Qing arranged this way so that the audience could watch a story completely every day.

Now if you concentrate on filming Guo Xiaozhen's scene, then you must disrupt the shooting plan, and when the time comes, it will be no problem for them to edit, but when the audience is watching, they will definitely feel messy.

How to solve this problem has to be discussed with Zhao Baogang.

After this matter was decided, Director Wang Fulin was also a little more relaxed, and he didn't have to keep a straight face as the director of the conference.

In fact, after just receiving a notice from CCTV leaders agreeing to invest in the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", the two of them have been thinking about this matter in addition to gathering the crew and actors.

It's easy to ask people to come over directly, but in that case, it would be too irresponsible for Yi Qing, people are in charge of a crew before twenty, how rare the opportunity is, if you really take people away, Yi Qing's scene will be yellow.

It's okay like this, with Zhou Ling with him, Wang Fulin can rest assured.

The matter was decided, and then Wang Fulin was concerned about Yi Qing's recent situation: "In addition to being busy with that crew recently, have you written any other scripts?"

"I wrote one before, but because the investment was too large, there was no conclusion on the Jingtai side, and then our production center operated independently, and we didn't have so much money to start this play. ”

When Wang Fulin heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh! What a big investment? ”

"If you start this drama, you will need about three million, and you may need additional investment in the future. ”

This figure is already a conservative estimate by Yi Qing, the simple production cost is at least two million, in addition to the scenery, the actor's salary, etc., if you really shoot this scene, you can't beat five million.

The start-up capital of "Dream of Red Mansions" was 5 million, and the follow-up investment cost about 3 million, and as a result, many plots in the later part of the story were forced to be deleted.

Ren Dawei listened to Yi Qingbao's figures, and was also taken aback: "What kind of drama, such a burning of money, "Dream of Red Mansions" plus this additional investment is only 8 million. ”

The investment in "Dream of Red Mansions" is large, mainly spent on props, costumes, and scenery, because the actors are all young people who have never acted, and the salary is not much.

But "Breaking through the Guandong" is different, if it is really going to be filmed, Yi Qing does not have the courage of Wang Fulin, choose a group of inexperienced young people to play, and when the time comes, the main role will definitely choose well-known actors, and the salary expenditure will account for a large part.

Then Yi Qing also talked about the synopsis of the story of "Breaking through the Guandong", Wang Fulin is also very interested in this theme, but it is a pity that all his energy is now focused on "Dream of Red Mansions", and there is really no way to open a new pit.

Yi Qing stayed at Wang Fulin's house until more than ten o'clock, then said goodbye and left, and did not go home when he left the community, but went directly to Zhao Baogang's house.

"Xiao Yi, what time is it, why are you here?"

Zhao Baogang also lives in a one-bedroom apartment, but the environment is much stronger than director Wang Fulin's home.

When Yi Qing arrived, he and his daughter-in-law Ding Xin had already slept, and when they opened the door to see that it was Yi Qing coming, they were also curious.

Yi Qing glanced inside and said, "Is it convenient?"

Without waiting for Zhao Baogang to speak, Ding Xin had already walked out: "What's inconvenient, come in!"

Welcoming Yi Qing in, Ding Xin poured a cup of tea and sat down with him.

"I came here to discuss with you something, I just got the letter, "Dream of Red Mansions" is going to be remade, CCTV has made additional investment, and Guo Xiaozhen has to return it to others!"

Zhao Baogang didn't wait for Yi Qing to finish speaking, and became anxious when he heard it: "How can this work, her highlight is about to be filmed, the person is gone, what should we do with this scene?"

Ding Xin pulled Zhao Baogang: "What are you anxious about, listen to Xiao Yi first!"

Yi Qing continued: "That's it, why are you in a hurry, I just came over from Director Wang Fulin's house, and I have already told the other side, Director Wang gave me ten days, we must finish filming within ten days, if you can't finish filming all thirty episodes, let's focus on filming Guo Xiaozhen's drama first!"

Zhao Baogang listened, and his heart was a little more steady, he was really afraid that the crew of the Red Mansion would not be merciful and take people away directly, if that was the case, the scene of "I Love My Family" could only be stopped, and they had to wait for the filming to finish before they could continue.

But the problem is that he had heard Yi Qing say before that every shot of those big productions was meticulously crafted, and Yi Qing played Liu Xianglian in just a few scenes, and she was stunned for more than a month.

If you really wait for "Dream of Red Mansions" to be completed, then you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!

However, Zhao Baogang and Yi Qing have the same worries, after filming all the scenes in ten days, this time is too rushed, and if Guo Xiaozhen's scenes are filmed intensively, the audience will not be able to take care of it.

"Xiao Yi, can you discuss it and give us half a month!"

Yi Qing shook his head: "I can't say it, Director Wang originally gave us a week's time, these ten days are still good for me to talk about, and finally Mr. Zhou Ling helped to intercede before agreeing, no matter how long it is, people will not agree at all, that's it, when these ten days pass, I have to personally send people to Hangzhou!"

That's really non-negotiable!

"Lao Zhao, let's not think about anything else about this matter, disrupt the shooting plan, I don't think it's okay, we only have one way to go now, that is, to speed up the progress, work overtime to shoot, and strive to finish all the scenes within ten days!"

It took less than ten days to shoot before, and to finish a 30-episode TV series in 20 days, this difficulty is not only big, but very difficult.

When Zhao Baogang heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Then what else are you talking about, let's go and find Lao Feng, we have to finish filming in ten days, and there are a lot of things on his side!"

Feng Pants is responsible for all the scenes, but the space in the studio is limited, and sometimes, he can only dismantle this scene, build that scene, and when he uses this scene again, he has to restore it again.

It used to be one episode a day, and in this way, Feng Pants' props team had to work overtime to get busy, and now to speed up the progress, it is very critical whether he can cooperate with it.
