Chapter 51: It's Not What I Want
[What do you think of the three rounds of rebroadcast ratings of "Balala Little Demon Fairy" topping the country?]
"Laxative! Man in Antarctica, just got off the plane. There are too many penguins, they hide ......."
"Dingding!"
Before Wang Kui finished typing, a "New Email" reminder window popped up in the lower right corner of the computer.
The email came from Neon and was sent by Ishikawa, TBS's dedicated line contact.
After clicking on it, he hurriedly glanced at the body of the email, and Wang Kui instantly lost the mood to tease sand sculpture netizens. Hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and called Meng Lang, who was filming the location in the suburbs.
When Meng Lang received the call, he was stunned.
It wasn't until Wang Kui forwarded the email to him that he read it carefully before he understood what was going on.
Sure enough, the worst happened!
Shotaro Ishimori really messed up the horse monkey shochu, isn't that right...... It can't be said that it's messed up, it should be a crooked painting style.
Masked Armored Nightcrawler?
Just by looking at the adjectives given by TBS, he can roughly guess what Shi Sen's drama is like.
Which of these words has anything to do with the girl?
It's no wonder that TBS is angry.,A good girl-to-magic live-action TV drama has been changed to look like this.,Can you not be angry!
Changing the script is a common thing for a director, not to mention that the screenwriter's ideas are different from the director's, that is, the script written by the director himself, sometimes when inspiration comes, he will revise and change it and finally become a different look.
But Shi Sen's changes are too big.
According to TBS, Shi Sen is already having fun, and he doesn't take into account the positioning of this drama at all.
Their concerns are legitimate.
Meng Lang also disagreed with Shi Sen's approach.
A masked girl or something sounds emotional, but this kind of thing is completely unflattering to make. Boys don't like to see girls transform to save the world, and girls can't accept that weird look, and magic kawaii is their favorite.
My turn!
Summon, card face to fight!
Fusion, horse monkey shochu!
Come on! Horse monkey card noodle shochu to play!
Will this work?
Meng Lang didn't have the heart to shoot on location, so he hurried back to the company after leaving the crew, summoned senior executives to connect with TBS, and held a cross-border video conference.
"Meng Sang! Shi Sen is really too much!"
In the video, Ishikawa cries: "He didn't take us seriously at all, I want to report to you, he has betrayed your trust in him......!
Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and soothed: "Okay, Mr. Ishikawa, it's too late to say this now." I heard that this drama is almost finished?"
"Yes...... Shi Sen's movements were quick ......"
Isn't this nonsense!
If you do bad things, you can't be sharp?
Meng Langqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, knocked on the table and muttered: "The matter has come to this, we have no other choice than to continue to believe in Shi Sen." ”
Change the director?
Let's not talk about whether other people are willing to take over this "semi-finished" mess, let's just say that replacing Shi Sen and making the first half and the second half of the style too big a gap is not a good thing.
"Meng Sang, the president is very dissatisfied with Director Shi Mori and has decided to replace him. ”
"Do you have any good candidates?"
Meng Lang asked: "Have you found a pick-up man?" Or is it just thinking about substitutions, but you haven't found a suitable substitute?"
"We at TBS are more than capable of taking over!"
Ishikawa said confidently: "Meng Sang, don't worry, we have many excellent directors and producers in our house, and they are all very strong!"
"What about the part that has already been filmed?"
“......”
Ishikawa was asked.
Shi Sen moved too fast, and this drama is about to be filmed. Now it's definitely okay to change the director rashly and continue filming, but how to take it?
Finish shooting according to Shi Sen's idea?
Then it's better to let Shi Sen continue to film, why change the director.
If you don't shoot according to Shi Sen's idea, what will happen to the material that has been filmed before? Or change the angle, and the material that has been shot at such a large cost in front of you will not be wanted if you say no?
Ishikawa didn't speak, which made Meng Lang breathe a sigh of relief.
Just care about the cost!
If TBS really doesn't care about the cost invested in front of him, and has to change the director, then he really can't do it.
Judging from Ishikawa's attitude, TBS can't accept Ishimori's making horse monkey shochu like this, let alone the previous investment......
The greater of the two benefits and the lesser of the two evils.
Not surprisingly, TBS finally accepted Meng Lang's proposal to have Shi Sen continue to direct until the rest of the film was finished.
Of course, the condition for them to give in was that if the ratings of the show failed to meet expectations in the end, the Pengda Neon branch to which Shi Sen belonged would need to bear half of the losses of TBS.
Meng Lang agreed.
This matter is also his fault.
After all, Pengda has the right to supervise the project, and Shotaro Ishimori is also signed to their neon branch. Now Shi Sen is doing this kind of thing, and it is also a shooting accident caused by their poor supervision.
If something like this happens, everyone is responsible. The branch still can't be stocked, and someone must be sent to supervise it.
But this is the follow-up arrangement, and the top priority at the moment is to let Shi Sen know that it is okay to shoot according to his ideas!
After ending the video conference with TBS, Meng Lang contacted Shi Sen, who was filming, through the person in charge of the neon branch.
After telling him the results of the negotiation between Pengda and TBS, Meng Lang then asked to see the samples.
Shi Sen was very happy to learn that the director was still himself, and casually sent Meng Lang an encrypted material source file.
The first thing I saw was the makeup photo of Sakura, the protagonist of this play.
Blonde hair, armor, broadsword, face mask......
Hell yes!
It's not a card to fight!
The subsequent sample film made Meng Lang confirm this guess. Shi Sen didn't make a card face to fight, but made a "alienated life" setting.
The background is still the wizarding world!
However, the main character, Sakura, can't do magic.
In Shi Sen's setting, there are people in this world who awaken their magical abilities all the time, some join the "adjudicators" to become heroes who maintain order, and some people are magnified by magic and become reckless "black magic fairies".
The heroine, Sakura, encounters a battle between the Dark Demon Fairy and the Adjudicator on the way to school, and is stunned by the aftermath and accidentally fuses with an alienated lifeform.
This alien creature transformed Sakura and assimilated her into an alienated lifeform, allowing her to condense a "glittering" armor and a "glittering" creature knife on her body!
The weakness of alienated life is the fear of sunlight, and it cannot exert its full strength under the sun. Therefore, Sakura goes to school normally during the day and goes to save the world at night.
In addition, Sakura also has amazing recovery abilities, even if she is burned into a pile of debris by magic, she can reorganize her limbs in an instant and come back to life in situ......
"It's not what I want......"
After watching the sample, Meng Lang whispered with a complicated mood.
What about imaginary Kamen Rider?
