Chapter 389: The reporter asked
Yes. Chen Mubai replied.
"Will there be too many characters?"
Under normal circumstances, there are 2-4 leading actors, one male and two male, and one female and two female.
This line is enough, after all, for each more character, there must be more of his story, and his background and a series of things that happen around the character must be introduced.
The first time you see the protagonists, there are 6, and they are three men and three women, this character has too much communication and storytelling with each other, can Chen Mubai, as a rookie director, control so many plots?
They are very suspicious of Chen Mubai's directing ability, the level of the reporters who can come here is nothing to say, they are all very high-level people, and they have a deep understanding of film and television.
Chen Mubai is the second time to be a director (the first time is an online drama), and everyone doubts his ability.
Although I received a red envelope, I would be biased towards them when I wrote it, but it was impossible not to ask or write at all, and there might be a big problem, if Chen Mubai didn't answer well, they would still write it out for the public to see as usual.
"No, as you can see the title of the play "Struggle". ”
Chen Mubai said with a radiant expression: "What is struggle? It is the fighting spirit of young people, my drama tells the story of contemporary college students after graduation, and these college students are friends, and everyone is a dead friend who has played together since childhood." ”
"The same is true for women, since they are college students, there must be a lot of friends and girlfriends, and naturally there are multiple protagonists, the characteristics of each character are different, and they are also a few more mainstream characteristics, I hope you can find resonance in the characters. ”
"I believe that our generation will become the mainstay of society in the future, will take over the banner of society from the hands of the previous generation, and work hard for the future for life and society!"
"I see. ”
Chen Mubai's answer made the reporter nod, if he is a college student, he can understand it, there are four people living in a dormitory, and it is indeed not to blame so many characters.
And he also deliberately expanded the scope of this struggle, tying up contemporary young people, at least what he said was awe-inspiring, and many of the people present were young, and they were all enthusiastic when they heard it!
Chen Mubai's words won the favor of many people, especially young people, after all, what he said was true!
If it is said by others, everyone may not believe it, after all, there are too many people who boast.
But Chen Mubai is different, he himself is a representative of young people who struggle and work hard, otherwise he would not have written so many classic songs, he is the mainstay of the music scene and the hope of the future!
Chen Mubai's answer made the atmosphere at the scene quickly hot, and many reporters were burying their heads in recording Chen Mubai's words, which would be a big news at that time!
"I saw your starring lineup, except for you and Tao Yaoyao, who have never acted, even Lin Xue and Qian Duoduo have also played the leading roles in online dramas, are you worried?"
"When I directed "Dick Silk Man" before, I watched Tao Yaoyao's acting, and I think she is very talented, and I am confident that I can play a good role. ”
Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao were cameos in "Dick Silk Man" before, and they were not important roles, and they didn't have many scenes, so they didn't count as acting, they had too few shots, and there were only a few minutes in total.
"If you are self-directed and self-acting, will it affect your filming status, or will the director's identity affect your actor status?" the reporter asked.
"No, acting and excellent will lead, director and excellent will act, this is all mutual, I am very confident. Chen Mubai replied.
In fact, he is a bit pretending to be a bit forced, he is right, generally directors will give actors a play, so they have a little acting skills, it is normal to be an actor to play a role, and many directors will appear in their works.
But Chen Mubai has never been an actor himself, even if he is a director, he has only filmed an online drama, and his resume is not good, but the drama was successful.
If he fails, he will be the target of public criticism.
The main Chen Mubai pretended to be forced, and they were helpless, because all the forced forces he had pretended to be so far had succeeded and had not failed......
Even if he said this time, others didn't believe it, but no one refuted it, and he could only have a reason to refute it when he hit a wall.
"Except for the four of you who are considered newcomers, the rest of the actors are all old actors, and there are several strong old actors, you have invested a lot this time, do you want a big production?"
"Yes, I'm not filming an online drama this time, I'm going to the stars. Chen Mubai decisively admitted.
“!!!”
"?"
Many people exclaimed, but no one thought that Chen Mubai would admit it!
This is big news, and the reporter who asked this question was also at a loss, and he did not expect this situation to occur.
Chen Mubai is too confident, right?
admits that it is a drama for the stars now, if there is no TV station at that time, then what he says now will be embarrassing and will become a joke.
Except for a few powerful directors who dare to say so before filming, most directors don't dare to be so absolute, otherwise it will be embarrassing if no one buys it at that time.
After most people finish filming, they find a TV station to buy it, and when the drama is almost sold, the crew will publicize that this is a star drama, which can be regarded as both publicity and hype, because the overall situation has been decided.
There are very few directors like Chen Mubai who boast about Haikou before filming starts, and there is no rookie director like him!
What he said today made him the first rookie director to boast about Haikou at the new drama press conference!
So far, Chen Mubai is too confident, and all reporters can feel his confidence, as if he will succeed!
"Are you so confident?"
"If people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?"
This sentence surprised everyone present, and it was a very philosophical sentence.
Many people have decided to make a big splash about this sentence, and at the same time, this statement also reveals Chen Mubai's "ambition".
"May I ask you that the main actors of this show are people you know well, and the investors of this show are also your own company, is it to praise your own people?"
This is a bit tricky to ask, and the answer of yes or no will cause discussion.
"As investors, we definitely believe that the quality of the work is not bad before we invest, let alone this kind of big production, no one will joke with the money. ”
Chen Mubai laughed when he said it, the reporter who asked the question was a little embarrassed, and his colleagues were also laughing.
yes, who's going to be right with money?
According to Chen Mubai's own words, this is for the stars, the investment is not small, how can he act arbitrarily?
I only heard Chen Mubai continue: "The casting of actors is based on their temperament, and every actor I choose can find the same characteristics in the characters of this drama, and it is not arbitrary." ”
Including Yu Fei, Tang Guoqiang, and Cai Yinghua, they all have the characteristics of the characters in the play. ”
"I'm the screenwriter of this show, I don't think anyone knows the characters in the show better than me, right?"
After Chen Mubai finished speaking, the author below laughed again, and the author who asked the question sat down with a red face and embarrassment.
"This is your second time as a director, do you have the confidence to shoot so many characters and tell the story well?" asked another reporter.
"Yes, but I'm scared, I just want to show you what I want to present, and I don't know if people will like it, but I'm willing to give it a try. ”
"If I don't even have the confidence to tell a good story, how can I shoot this show?"
Chen Mubai's answer drew applause from everyone.
He first responded to whether everyone had confidence in his filming, and he replied, there must be confidence, but there will also be worries, worried about whether the audience will pay for the content instead of shooting himself, in fact, it shows in disguise that he is very confident in filming this drama.
This drama is indeed a combination of many people's clues, it is difficult for ordinary people to shoot well, and if it is not filmed well, it will look very messy, in his previous life, it was the great director Zhao Baogang who filmed this drama, Chen Mubai still recognizes the content he filmed, and he believes that the evaluation of this drama here will not be bad!
"We all know that the more characters there are, the more stories to be told, so there are so many main characters in your show, do you have the confidence to carve out everyone's characteristics?"
"Yes, since I have written so many characters, I am ready, in essence, this is a storytelling, and I am confident that I can tell the story of this young man's struggle to everyone!"
"Then how many episodes of this show do you expect to complete?"
Another reporter asked, but this reporter was uneasy and kind, this is a trap.
Generally, the number of episodes of TV dramas is not very long, if it is too short, it will soon be gone, and the speed of word-of-mouth fermentation in all aspects cannot keep up, and this drama is a star drama, and the TV station buys it according to the number of episodes, so naturally the more episodes it is, the better it is.
But if there are too many episodes, it will seem heavy, the plot will drag on, it will definitely seem a little watery, the tension of the plot is insufficient, the sense of rhythm will decrease, and the audience may not have so much patience.
So this is a great test of the director's ability, the number of episodes cannot be more or less, and it must be in a just right range, which is the embodiment of the director's strength.
When the director is filming a drama, the general rhythm is in mind, and there will also be an evaluation range, about how many episodes can be filmed.
Because the content of the story he tells in each episode has been thought out before it can be filmed, it is a bit like a movie storyboard, but the TV series is a story, and the time of each episode tells a story rhythm.
The script is made up of a number of short stories, and how long these short stories will be completed are all rough estimates before the director shoots.
Chen Mubai was so confident that he could shoot this drama well, if he couldn't answer this question at this time, he would be slapping himself in the face, and he just swore an oath.
Many people's eyes looked at Chen Mubai, and everyone was very curious about this, and everyone knew in their hearts that this reporter was not good.
