After staying in Luoji Mountain for three days, exchanging training plans with teachers and staff, and by the way, he talked about the key characters to a few supporting characters, and Yang Zhu returned to the imperial capital.

There's no way, the dragon magician still needs to finalize it himself;

In order to speed up the progress, Yang Zhu plans to adopt the mode of "doing while shooting" for this movie, and in order not to waste manpower and funds, the modeling and special effects finalization in the early stage are particularly important.

After nearly a month of surrounding Zhao Hao and them, killing countless brain cells, these things were roughly finalized, and the rest was to hand over the finalized construction design drawings to the construction party and let them build the physical sites of each faction.

Yang Zhu, who was finally idle, was satisfied with salting fish for several days, either drinking tea and napping all day, or skewering at night, and this day was very comfortable;

Until, a phone call came......

..................

"Director Zhang, long time no see!" Yang Zhu walked into a small partition courtyard of a private club and shook hands with Director Zhang.

"Haha, Director Yang, I already knew that you were not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect that after only a year of not seeing you, you would already have a great name. Zhang Dadao looked heroic.

After a half-hour feast of praise in the rivers and lakes, Zhang Dadao personally shared a cup of Tieguanyin to Yang Zhu;

said with a smile: "Director Yang, the two of us are also old friends, tell you the truth;"

"I'm looking for you this time, mainly for two things;"

"First, at the end of last month, the authorities organized a meeting with the intention of vigorously grasping the building of spiritual civilization."

"So, I gathered a group of our directors and asked us to come up with a PSA script each,"

"When the time comes, I will select the 3 best scripts to shoot and broadcast them on various TV stations in China;"

"But what...... It's okay for me to let me direct the shooting, but if you ask me to write a script, it's going to kill me;"

"I thought I'd just admit it, but a few old immortal peers squeezed me at the wine table;"

"No, for the sake of my old face, I can only ask you to come over and help......"

Yang Zhu raised his eyebrows, he still has a lot of things to do, how can he be in the mood to participate in this matter?

I'm trying to find a reason to excuse myself;

Zhang Dadao can be regarded as a good person, and seeing that Yang Zhu's expression is not quite right, he immediately spoke;

"Director Yang, we both know the roots, I have seen the advertisement you shot for [Yinyu Jade Workshop] last year, and that is the feeling of a proper public service advertisement,"

"And I've inquired about it, this kind of thing is just a casual thing for you;"

"Anyway, just one sentence, let's put it bluntly, are you willing to help my brother with this?"

"Don't ask for anything else, just let those old immortal guys stop laughing at me!"

Yang Zhu narrowed his mouth with a toothache, this old fox, his eyes are good enough, I just thought about what excuse to find, which blocked my mouth.

So he changed his smile: "Brother spoke, how could I not help, I just want to ask, what is the theme of this advertisement;"

"The main thing is to worry about it, my two little brushes, if they run into a theme that I'm not good at, then they won't be able to work hard at all, aren't you afraid of losing your face when the time comes. ”

Zhang Dadao laughed: "There is no theme this time, I just want to make an attempt, as long as I can impress the audience and persuade people to do good!"

Yang Zhu was helpless, so he had to nod: "Cheng, I'll take this matter, it's not good to write when the time comes, just don't scold me!"

Zhang Dadao said with a smile: "How can this be, Brother Yang, you make a move, isn't it a matter of ironclad nails?"

Yang Zhu took a sip of tea with a smile: "That's not necessarily!"

Then he pursed his lips a little unaccustomedly, this Tieguanyin incense is fragrant, but for an old tea guest like him, there is really no tea taste.

............

"The second thing, it's like this;"

"This year, I plan to open another martial arts drama, still Mr. Cha Yong's, called "Smiling Proud Jianghai";

"What about this drama, I just started the project and am picking actors,"

"I know brother, you're very good at picking actors and training actors,"

"So, I'm going to ask you to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Zhu hurriedly stretched out his hand to interrupt;

"Brother, it's not that the younger brother refuses to help you, but the younger brother really can't get out of his body recently;"

"Brother, you also know, I have a movie in my hand that is about to start shooting, and I have a lot of things in my hands!"

Director Zhang was a little curious: "Didn't you hear that you sent all the actors to various places for closed training?"

"And I heard that it will take more than half a year to train, right?"

Yang Zhu nodded.

Zhang Dadao stretched out his hands: "Isn't that the end?"

"On your side, when it comes to investment, the investment is in place early, and not a penny is missing you;"

"Speaking of actors, the actors have already been decided, and they are all trained step by step;"

"Speaking of the venue and special effects, I heard that you have been at the Dragon Magic Crafts for a full month, and you think that it is almost finalized, so you are waiting for acceptance;"

"Speaking of coordinating with various departments, I heard that this matter is in charge of the woman surnamed Liu;"

"It's all directors, I want to know, brother, ...... What else has been going on in the last few months?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Dadao stared at Yang Zhu with a playful expression.

Yang Zhu was speechless, he knew that there were no secrets in the entertainment industry,

But I didn't expect my every move to be so transparent;

After thinking about it, he sighed: "Brother, what you said is true, but...... There's something you probably don't know very well;"

Zhang Dadao showed surprise: "What's the matter?"

Yang Zhu pointed to his nose and said, "You probably didn't hear one thing, and that is ......"

"I, who is also one of the important actors in this film, also need to train with me;"

"It's just that I'm a director, and I need to deal with some things in hand, and when it's done, I have to rush back and follow the other actors to get trained obediently. ”

Zhang Dadao looked incredible:

"You?"

"Being an actor?"

"Still an important role?"

"Brother, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Yang Zhu nodded, and said expressionlessly: "You'll know when the film comes out." ”

Zhang Dadao scratched his head: "Cheng, I believe that my brother will not lie to me;"

Then he put his right hand against his cheek and said with some irritation: "Then this matter is a little troublesome." ”

Yang Zhu was a little surprised: "Without Butcher Zhang, brother, you have been on the rivers and lakes for decades, can't you still eat pork?"

Zhang Dadao sighed:

"Brother, I won't hide it from you,"

"In the past few years, I have been engaged in remakes of Mr. Cha Yong;"

"Although the IP is big, it has attracted a lot of scolding. ”

Yang Zhu nodded, thinking to himself that you didn't just scold a lot, but in the end, it was simply a common anger, okay.

"Originally, the last part of "The Condor Heroes" did very well, and the company above and behind me also had a lot of praise;"

"So when I set up the project "Smiling Proud Jianghai", it was easily approved, and the budget given was more than I imagined;"

"But...... My own family knows my own business;"

"The success of the last "Condor Heroes", in addition to choosing the right heroine and some important roles, your training is very important, brother;"

"No, in addition to the role of Guo Xiang, Liu Feifei, Wan Jing, and Yang Rui, who are unanimously praised by the audience, which one was not trained by you?"

"I was still thinking, you should have some time at the moment, with the friendship of our brothers, you will definitely be able to help, so that this drama will be more stable;"

"But I didn't expect you to be able to walk away now......"

"Hey~!, brother, I'm a little panicked......"

As he spoke, he had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Yang Zhu was silent, of course he knew what was waiting for Director Zhang if the filming of this drama was smashed;

The entertainment industry has always been a place where the red and the black are stepped on, especially after a large amount of capital has been stationed, this situation is even more serious;

If Director Zhang Dadao's filming is smashed, although he will not eat cold rice with his status in the rivers and lakes,

However, the right to speak will inevitably decline greatly, so that it will be hollowed out and kidnapped by the capital side, and become a tool for them to praise people and attract money;

As for how much harm it will do to Zhang Dadao's personal reputation, there is no way to continue to be in charge......

Who Care！？

........................

remembered that the other party also gave his little white rabbit a rather heavy role, and he was the leader of his little apprentice in the entertainment industry.

Yang Zhu was a little unbearable, and carefully estimated his time arrangement, estimating that he could squeeze out at least 3-4 months, and he should be able to do something about these times;

What? You say Yang Zhu doesn't need to follow those actors for closed training?

Forehead...... Will Yang Daguan tell you that he is now a "senior actor", and he doesn't need to follow the training at all?

Yang Zhu thought for a moment and raised his head: "Brother, in this way, from today, I can probably squeeze out about 3 months;"

"It's impossible to train the actor for you in depth;"

"However, it should still be okay to give you advice on casting and prop makeup, as well as a little bit of drama for the main actors selected. ”

Director Zhang was overjoyed, he didn't have the luxury of hoping that Yang Zhu could really help him train the actors in depth, not to mention that people have something in their hands, even if it's really fine, he is embarrassed to open his mouth - people are now a popular little fried chicken, or in the film industry, when it comes to coffee position, it is not lower than himself, and he brings others over to do the work of assistant director, is this like a word? Well, it is estimated that after he comes out of this movie, he will be much taller than himself, and it is even more impossible to do this.

After being delighted, Zhang Dadao hesitated a little again: "That'...... Brother, what about your own business? Doesn't that mean you need training too?"

Yang Zhu looked helpless: "Brother, you have opened this mouth, what else can I say, junior brother?

"If you can't reach the goal by then, it's a big deal to delay the start-up time for a few days. ”

Director Zhang was so moved that the director, of course, knew that as soon as the start-up time was delayed, countless banknotes were burning;

slapped his thigh fiercely at the moment: "Brother, your love brother has accepted! If there is anything you need to do in the future, I will go out, just say it directly!"

paused: "I heard that you like to drink tea, brother, it just so happens that the owner of this private club is also my buddy, and there is some good tea in it,"

"In this way, I am in charge, let him give you a pound of ancient trees and old banzhang, a single plant!"

Yang Zhu was overjoyed, thinking to himself, just rushing to this catty of tea, this favor is worth it.

Rubbing his hands at the moment: "Then what are you waiting for, let your buddy quickly replace me with a pot of old class chapters, well, the new class chapters will also be completed;

"Time is pressing, just order something here and let's get started!"

Zhang Dadao sighed, this little brother is so resolute, no wonder he can mix these achievements in the entertainment industry in just over a year.

At that moment, he hurriedly beckoned the boss to change the tea, and ordered some refreshments at random;

After waiting for the things to be ready, Zhang Dadao said: "Then let's start with casting, you help me with the staff!"

Yang Zhu picked up a piece of dragon whisker crisp and put it in his mouth, and nodded: "Cheng!"

Zhang Dadao took out a PAD, clicked it a few times, handed it to Yang Zhu, and then moved the stool over: "All the actors' information is in it, and I have classified them." ”

Yang Zhu took it and took a look, and sure enough, there were dozens of folders densely packed according to the names of the characters;

He first clicked on the folder of "Ren Yingying", there was very little information in it, only seven or eight WORD files lying there,

Clicking on the first document, sure enough, the older girl with dimples appeared in front of her eyes, and looked at the footnote, which also had the words "to be used".

Yang Zhu frowned, and clicked on other documents, they are all quite famous actresses, but in terms of overall temperament and appearance, there is still a big difference with the role of "Ren Yingying";

I clicked on the folder of "Linghu Chong" again, this time there was a little more information, but it didn't go anywhere, I clicked on a few, Yang Zhu shook his head very dissatisfied, and finally saw the slightly wooden face marked "to be used", Yang Zhu's face was a little unsightly.

He pinched his eyebrows and looked sideways at Zhang Dadao: "Brother, I want to figure out one thing first;"

Zhang Dadao looked at Yang Zhu's not very good-looking face: "Brother, you say." ”

Yang Zhu took a sip of tea, and the strong taste temporarily dispelled his boredom: "Brother, I want to know, what is the basis for choosing you, the hero and heroine?"

"Is it true that you think they should be like this, or is it the opinion of the capitalists?"

"Is it based on their popularity? or is it based on the preferences of the directors of major Taiwan film purchases?"

When Zhang Dadao heard the end, he was a little surprised: "Brother, I didn't expect you to pay back the door?"

There was a pause: "Hmm...... Actually, I mainly consider the preferences of those who buy films;"

"You also know that this TV series is filmed, after all, it has to be sold for money,"

"Unlike your films, your viewers and buyers are spectators;"

"And although our viewers are also spectators, the buyers are mainly major TV stations;"

"In the buzzword, you're B2C, we're B2B!"

Yang Zhu Yile, I can't see it, Zhang Dadao will also use e-commerce terms.

Zhang Dadao took a sip of tea and continued: "And you should know that in fact, for us, the most powerful TV stations are those directors who buy films;"

"They can decide in one sentence whether your TV series can be sold or not, and how much it will be sold. ”

"So don't look at my brother, I look like a person on weekdays, in the face of those first-line TV station film buying directors, I can still only accompany the smiling face, and I dare not offend them;"

"And these film buying directors, although I heard that the above has given instructions to adjust the ratio of men and women in this position, but at present, there are still mostly men;"

"These production directors are generally in their forties and fifties, and what about aesthetics, huh...... It's not the same as our people. ”

"Overall, my current selection of heroines, the first priority is to conform to their aesthetics and make them feel comfortable;"

Of course, there are inevitably some people who are sophisticated. ”

"Choosing a male lead, what I want is that they don't dislike it;"

"As for the match with the original work, acting skills, etc., it's not the first priority. ”

"That's the explanation, brother, you understand, right?"

Yang Zhu smiled bitterly and nodded, no wonder after a group of middle-aged aunts sat in the position of film purchasing director in the major TV stations later, Xiao Xianrou was rampant, and it was this reason for a long time;

said at the moment: "Brother, I know your distress, but, have you ever thought about a question?"

"If you continue to compromise like this, are you going to continue to be in charge of the camera in the future?"

Zhang Dadao smiled bitterly:

"I understand the truth, but what can I do?"

"You know, I need to eat too. ”

Yang Zhu was silent, silent for a while, and raised his head: "Brother, if you can trust me, you will re-choose the hero and heroine and other important roles, and make sure that this drama is exciting;"

"As for those production directors, I have my own way to handle them. ”

Zhang Dadao was a little puzzled: "Brother, how can you do it?"

Yang Zhu smiled: "Brother, haven't you noticed yet? Huaxia is now getting more and more developed on the Internet, and the weight of public opinion in this field is getting higher and higher;"

"In these days, it is difficult to spread positive energy, but it is really easy to poke out some baskets!"

Zhang Dadao remembered something and took a breath of cold air: "Brother, are you planning to ......?"

Yang Zhu smiled and nodded: "If those film buying directors come according to the normal procedure, it will naturally be better;"

"However, if you want to deliberately make things difficult, or make some trouble, I have a way to fix them!"

Zhang Dadao was a little undecided: "If you do this, will the consequences be too serious?" ”

Yang Zhu naturally knew what the "consequences" he was talking about, and smiled:

"Brother, you've been in the entertainment industry for so long, you must know that these people are notoriously cheap,"

"The so-called soft is afraid of the hard, and the hard is afraid of the dead;"

"As long as you can shoot good works and show enough [lethality], who will dare to embarrass you without opening your eyes?"

Zhang Dadao pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "Cheng, brother, I'm out of the way, listen to you this time!"

Yang Zhu shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "Don't worry, brother, you won't regret it." ”

Zhang Dadao pinched his teeth, and finally turned into a sigh: "I hope I won't regret it......"

PS: I took medicine yesterday and fell asleep all afternoon, and I got up after 4 o'clock in the morning today to make up my homework, and I was so hungry that I said.
