Chapter 708: A Discussion Caused by a Scarf
When filming officially started, Sun Quan consciously handed over all the director's authority to assistant director Wang Zheng, and did not point fingers in order to prove his directing ability.
He is self-aware in this regard, and he, the chief director, just sits behind the director's monitor and watches the footage filmed on the spot.
Most of the time, he doesn't express an opinion.
But he is not purely an ornament, he watched the picture on the monitor, combined with his feelings when he wrote "The Last Wish of the Dead", and communicated with Wang Zheng in a low voice from time to time to put forward his own opinions.
For example, in a certain plot, the effect he wanted when he was writing, if Wang Zheng shot that effect, he nodded in approval, and if Wang Zheng's effect did not meet his expectations, he would bring it up with Wang Zheng, and then ask Wang Zheng if there was a way to shoot the effect he wanted.
Not to mention, his work mode cooperates quite well with Wang Zheng.
The two have a discussion, and it's quite like that.
Not far away, Tao Yujuan looked at this scene in surprise, and whispered to Xue Zihan beside her: "I thought Ah Quan was just a false name as the chief director, but I didn't expect him to really put forward a lot of opinions!"
Xue Zihan nodded slightly, and his voice was also very low, "I'm also a little surprised, but this mode of operation is not without precedent, I heard that when Bangziguo shoots TV series, sometimes the screenwriter's rights seem to be quite large, and he often vetoes what the director makes." ”
Tao Yujuan nodded, "Yes, I've heard of it too, but we are generally the biggest directors in China, and there should be no one like our crew, right?"
Xue Zihan smiled faintly, "Ah Quan is now the chief director!
Tao Yujuan was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, and said with a smile: "That's right! So, it's good to let him be the chief director, right?"
Xue Zihan hummed.
……
Because today is the first day of filming, the crew finished work quite early, and the crew called it a day before it got dark.
Sun Quan said goodbye to Wang Zheng and the others, and went back by car.
In the car, Sun Quan recalled the process of filming today, and he was quite satisfied.
Although the specific images he shot were slightly different from the results he wanted when he was writing, he knew that such differences were normal.
No director can restore the effect of the original book 100%.
Just like a good painter, he can't paint 100% of the scenery in front of him on his own drawing paper, and even the photos taken by the camera still have a certain degree of distortion.
What's more, in the process of filming a TV series, there are so many people and types of work involved, and each link is slightly flawed, and the final effect is impossible to restore 100% of the original work.
For example, the appearance of the actors, the performance of the actors, the makeup team on the actors, the props prepared by the props team, the director's personal style, etc., will make the shooting effect tilt in certain directions.
He didn't want to achieve 100% of the original effect.
As a writer, he knows all too well how difficult it can be.
It's like he has coded words himself for more than ten years, and he has never written 100% of the effect he wants.
Sometimes, he wants to write a touching plot, but the words he really writes may only be generally touching.
Sometimes he wants to write about the feeling of blood boiling, but the words he actually writes may be far from the same.
Once, because of this situation, he doubted his writing skills, and wondered if he was a person with low eyes.
It wasn't until much later that he was sure he was really eye-catching.
At the same time, it is also determined that it is a common phenomenon that the eye is high and the hand is low, he is not alone, and every creator has a situation of low eye and high hand.
In this world, is there really a person who does not look at the master?
He didn't think so.
Because it's always much easier to say and think than to do, that's for sure.
……
Night.
Sun Quan didn't go to the bedroom early tonight to accompany his wife and children, he sat alone in the study on the second floor, sitting in front of the computer.
In the past, he occasionally came to the magic capital to visit Yuan Shuiqing and his daughter, and he would accompany them every night and not go to the study to code.
Because at that time, he only stayed in the magic capital for a few days, and after a few days, he would leave the magic capital again and be separated from his wife and children.
And from today onwards, his situation is different.
For a long time in the future, he will stay in the magic capital, go out early and return late, work in the crew during the day, and come back at night If he doesn't go into the study to code, the manuscript he has on hand will be consumed soon.
After that, the update of his book will inevitably be thin.
Therefore, when he came to the magic capital this time, he had already told Yuan Shuiqing that he might not be able to accompany their mother and daughter at night, and Yuan Shuiqing expressed his understanding and support for this.
Just like tonight, after dinner, when Sun Quan went upstairs to go to the study, his daughter chased after his ass and asked him to play with her.
Only then did he get out and go to the study.
In front of the computer.
Sun Quan looked at the few photos he had just imported into the computer one by one.
are a few photos of the crew starting up today.
The opening ceremony is not grand at all, and it looks really shabby when it falls on these photos.
There is no tall temperament at all.
Sun Quan looked at it and smiled slightly.
He doesn't regret that this opening ceremony was so shabby, and he even wondered if he should continue to compress the number of episodes in the first season.
compressed the original plan of about 20 episodes to about 15 episodes.
The reason why he had this idea was because he thought that the price of the first season sold to video sites would definitely not be high.
After all, he, the chief director, has not proven his ability in the film and television industry, and neither does the assistant director Wang Zheng, and the salted fish film and television they engage in is also a newcomer in the film and television industry.
The actors who starred in this drama are either newcomers, or although they are old people, they are old people who are not very famous.
With all the configurations, it seems that there is no reason to sell at a high price.
The only thing that is valuable seems to be the IP of "Wish of the Dead".
In the online literature circle, his current fame and reputation of "The Last Wish of the Dead" are leveraged.
But in the current film and television market, the price of online IP has not yet been speculated.
So...... What reason is there for this drama to sell for a high price?
With such a judgment in his heart, Sun Quan thought about compressing the number of episodes in the first season as much as possible, reducing the cost, and improving the quality of each episode.
Use this extra-long promotional video to hype up the web drama "The Last Wish of the Dead".
Then put more plot on the second season later, or even the third season.
According to his plan a few days ago, the show had two seasons, but now he wants to make three seasons.
As long as the quality of this drama can be guaranteed, the price will definitely rise every season after that.
In the end, the average price of three seasons of episodes should only be much higher than the price of filming one season.
In his memory before his rebirth, among all the works adapted into online dramas by the online male frequency, the one with the highest quality and the best reputation should belong to "Residual Sin".
At least he thinks it is.
And in the first season of "Remnant Sin", he remembered very few episodes.
But this did not affect the fact that once the show was broadcast, it became an instant hit and the word of mouth exploded.
He wanted to make his "Wish of the Dead" like that.
In front of the computer, Sun Quan looked at the photos that had just been imported into the computer, turned all kinds of thoughts and imaginations in his heart, and finally smiled, logged in to his scarf account, uploaded those photos, and then thought about it and wrote a paragraph attached to it.
Finally, send out this scarf.
He rarely sends a scarf, and the number of followers on his scarf is not much, only more than 600,000, which is not comparable to those stars in the entertainment industry.
But many of them are authors and book lovers in the online literature circle.
For example, Fang Yeming.
He is a fan of Sun Quan's books, and he is still at the level of the alliance leader, and his ID at the starting point is called "The Sound of Night Singing".
He didn't join any of Sun Quan's book fan groups, but silently paid attention to Sun Quan's scarf.
He prefers to play with scarves.
For example, at this time, he was leaning on the head of his bed after work, brushing his neck to pass the time, brushing and brushing, and he suddenly found that the salted fish and my grandson had just sent a new scarf.
At first he thought he was wrong.
Because in his impression, the salted fish and my grandson seem to be a little lazy, and he usually doesn't have a scarf.
But when I looked closely, I found that it was true.
Salted fish and my grandson really sent a scarf just now, like a corpse.
"Hehe, it's rare! It's really a thousand years of waiting, what did you send? I'll take a look......
With a chuckle in his mouth and muttering, he clicked on the scarf that Sun Quan had just made.
See a paragraph, add a few photos.
He didn't rush to look at the photo for the time being, he looked at the text first.
- "Someone once offered me an offer to buy the film and television rights of 'Dead Wishes', but I didn't sell it! Is it because I don't like money anymore? Joke! As a single-minded man, how could I not like money in my life? I just want to invest in my own filming of this show, and see! Our crew has started filming, in order to spend all the investment on the quality of the series as much as possible, and see how much we have saved the opening ceremony! I just want to ask: Who else? Who else can save more than our opening ceremony? Hehe. ”
After reading this paragraph, Fang Yeming blinked, and blinked again.
Accidentally!
Very unexpected!
Very unexpected!
He never dreamed that Salted Fish and My grandson would invest in the filming of "The Last Wish of the Dead", after all, no author in the online literature circle has done this.
"Really?"
Fang Yeming was suspicious in his heart, muttered in his mouth, and subconsciously clicked on the first photo.
In the photo, Sun Quan and a man and two women are holding incense in their hands, standing in front of an offering table, and are offering incense, and there is a statue of Guan Yu on the offering table.
On a visual inspection, it really seems to be what the boot ceremony looks like.
Similar photos, Fang Yeming has seen them in the news releases of some film and television dramas before.
"Really shot?"
Muttering, he clicked on the second, third, fourth, and fifth photos.
In each photo, there are different people worshipping the gods.
Every photo seems to prove that what Sun Quan said above is true, the book "The Last Wish of the Dead" is really going to be filmed into a film and television drama.
In this regard, Fang Yeming always wanted to suspect something.
After all, this has never appeared in the online literature circle before, and no matter how you look at it, it is a bit untrue.
He subconsciously refreshed the scarf.
He wanted to see if anyone had left a message.
As a result, after a refresh, he suddenly saw that a large number of messages had appeared.
Such as:
"Big guy Niubi, may I ask if this is a movie or a TV series?"
By the way, who is the director of this drama? Who plays the male and female protagonists?"
After catering, studio, and variety show planning, and now he is involved in TV dramas, I really want to ask: Salted fish boss, what other industry do you want to get involved in? Can you answer?"
"Isn't it very good to shoot "Step by Step" made by Tang Film and Television before? Why don't you sell this book to Tang people to shoot it?
"Yes, yes, strong support! I just want to ask when this show will be broadcast? Who are the leading actors?"
"Who is the director? Is it the man in the vest standing next to the salted fish boss in the photo?"
The vest man refers to Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng in the photo is wearing an army-green vest with many pockets.
"The main actors seem to be all newcomers? Except for the couple in the second photo, which looks very eye-catching, the others are really not good! How much is the investment in this drama? Can't we invite a few more actors who are a little better-looking?"
This comment resonated with Fang Yeming.
He also thinks that the suspected actors in the photo, except for a man and a woman in the second photo, really look like passers-by, and they don't have the temperament of a star actor at all.
……
After reading a bunch of messages in one go, Fang Yeming couldn't help but send a message as well.
- "Please ask the salted fish boss to announce the director, screenwriter and cast of this show!
This is the content of his message.
It is also the information he wants to know most after reading this scarf.
After posting this message, he thought about it and came to the book review area of "The Last Wish of the Dead".
I want to see if the book friends here have noticed the scarf that Salted Fish and My grandson just posted, if no one has found out, he plans to carry the content of this scarf to the book review area of "The Wishes of the Dead".
He believes that fans of this book should be very interested in this matter.
Outcome......
When he came to the book review section of "The Wishes of the Dead", he found that there were already many comments related to the content of the scarf.
For example: "Is this book really going to be made into a TV series?
For example: "Boss, will you engage in publicity? If you are publicizing, can you be more professional? Who the director is and the starring lineup, don't say anything, you are publicizing a yarn? Hurry up and announce the director and the starring lineup! You deflated calf!"
Another example: "Not to mention, the form of a series of small stories in this book is really suitable for making a unit drama, the men and women in the second photo on the scarf should be the male protagonist and the female protagonist, right?
