The scripts of popular TV dramas are about 15,000 to 20,000 words per episode, but sitcoms need at least 50,000 words per episode.

Because the shooting method of sitcoms is relatively simple, it is very different from the scenes of dozens and hundreds of people in motion, and many small details require special attention.

For the screenwriter, this is indeed a huge test, the whole script must not only be consistent, but also more distinctly highlight the character characteristics, etc., and even the emotions must be written into the script.

This is also the reason why Qin Feng chose to start with sitcoms, in this world, sitcoms are very rare, and there may not be one in a few years.

Compared with TV dramas, the story framework of sitcoms is too small, and if the plot arrangement is slightly unreasonable, it will affect the ratings.

In the past, major film and television companies have tested the waters, but the effect has never been ideal, so they basically gave up this path and turned to specialize in large-scale long-form TV series.

"Are you sure you want to do a sitcom?" Sitting in front of Qin Feng's computer, Li An looked at the script in the document that had not yet had time to print, and said in surprise.

"Well, with the studio's current financial resources, the only thing that can be done is a sitcom. Qin Feng sat on the sofa, drinking the freshly brewed tea, and said casually.

When he saw Ang Lee last night, Qin Feng wanted to pull him in to take a look at the script, but considering that Ang Lee had been running outside for a day and had written the script for a whole day, he didn't have the experience to discuss this matter again, so he put it on the next day.

"I understand your feelings, and I know what you mean. It's not that I'm here to hit you, I'm really not optimistic about this show. Li An closed the file, stood up and shook his head at Qin Feng.

Although Ang Lee admires Qin Feng's talent and vision in many ways, he also has many years of work experience, and Ang Lee is very clear about the market of sitcoms.

"Of course I do. Qin Feng smiled naturally, he had long expected that this would be the result, in fact, not only Ang Lee, but no one would be optimistic about this script after seeing it.

The reason is very simple, this script is so simple, so simple that even if the script is given to a big-name director, they may not know what kind of effect this drama should be?

The whole script only explains the filming location and the character dialogue, and even the emotions that the most basic character dialogue in a sitcom should have are not described.

For example, in the play, there is a dialogue between Kuroto and the fruit seller, and when Kuroteji abuses idioms, what kind of tone should Kuroto Kizo use?

And this also caused the number of words in Qin Feng's script to drop sharply, and one episode was not even 10,000 words, and the whole article was full of blunt dialogue, which made people feel very clueless when they watched it.

"Feng Shao, in general, I am not optimistic about this drama.

In addition to the scenes and character dialogues in the script, there is nothing left to do, such a script can't be filmed at all, and it's a sitcom. Ang Lee was a little depressed, why didn't Qin Feng continue to release albums or take over some filming, but Qin Feng was the boss, and he still expressed his opinion.

"Why can't I shoot it? The whole story framework is in my head, and I know how to shoot every scene and what kind of effect I want.

The reason why the script is not written is to avoid the actors watching too much, which will affect their performance. Qin Feng explained with a serious face.

As for the latter reason, it is completely nonsense, only when the description is clear, the actor will play better, and integrate his own characteristics.

Qin Feng did this not so much because he was worried about the actors, but because he wanted to be lazy.

Think about it, too, if you write it according to the original play, even everyone's facial expressions and movements are written, then when will this script be written? Besides, Qin Feng can be lazy by doing this, and secondly, he can guide on the spot, and the whole drama can be performed completely according to his requirements.

"Okay, you're the boss, and you're justified in what you say, but I'm still the same opinion. Li An said helplessly.

There is power in the hands, but that is for other people. If Qin Feng insisted that he had to make this drama, Ang Lee would have no way to stop it. After all, the studio belongs to Qin Feng, even if he loses money, it is Qin Feng's own money.

As an external general manager, the only thing Ang Li can do is to express his opinion, put forward some warnings to Qin Feng, to implement Qin Feng's instructions, and at the same time try to avoid losing a lot of money due to some wrong decisions.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, it's my own company, I can't take it to death, right? And since the Chinese restaurant, which time do you think I have failed? Don't worry, I know it. Seeing that Li An was a little emotional, Qin Feng replied.

Although he has made some achievements in music, no one will refute the songs he has written.

But on the road of film and television, he is a complete rookie in the eyes of everyone, and it is normal for Ang Lee not to be optimistic about himself.

Therefore, if you want to solve this problem completely, you still have to use results to speak.

Therefore, even if Ang Lee is not optimistic about himself, this drama must be filmed. Not only to shoot, but also to shoot the best.

There will always be a first time, as long as this time can be successful, there will not be so much resistance next time.

"Okay, Kaede, you have what you say. Li An sighed in his heart, but when he turned his head and thought about it, it seemed that Qin Feng had really not failed.

After the script was completed, Qin Feng began to form a shooting team and called Liu Yang, the assistant director of "I Am a Singer".

When participating in "I Am a Singer", I deliberately exchanged contact information with Liu Yang, so that on this day, with Liu Yang's connections, I should know a lot about talents in this area.

Liu Yang recommended an assistant director Ning Hao to Qin Feng, and also recommended several behind-the-scenes personnel.

After the crew was basically formed, Qin Feng began casting.

......

Beijing Huairou Film and Television City is not only a place where new directors become famous, but also a place where actors with movie dreams and TV drama dreams rise.

Qin Feng brought Ning Hao here just to pick a few actors, after all, there is no shortage of actors here.

In addition to filming movies and TV dramas, the film and television city has also become a tourist attraction.

This is a place that many tourists must not miss after visiting the capital. If you're lucky, you might even see a star you like.

Even if you can't see them, you can take a look at the places where TV dramas have been filmed. After each house has been photographed, their names are left on a sign outside the door.

Because it is a scenic spot, if you want to enter, you have to buy a ticket. For the extras who come here every day in search of opportunities, this is not something they can afford.

If you are lucky, you can earn more than 100 yuan a day, if you are unlucky, you can only wait for a whole day, and then return the same way, waiting for the next day to come.

Perhaps considering that it is not easy to manage a large group of extras gathered at random outside the door, the film and television city deliberately set aside an area outside the door and used it as a waiting area for extras.

All the extras can only go there and wait, and if the crew needs extras, they will go there directly to find someone.

And Qin Feng's gaze was locked there.

This is not an idol drama, so there is no need for any big-name stars, and even if he does, he can make a temporary cameo by himself.

Because the characters in the play are ordinary characters, the requirements for actors are not high, and it is only four words to summarize it simply, image and acting skills.

The most important thing is the image, which must conform to the image of the characters in the play, as for the acting skills, as long as it is not too bad, it can be said that the past is over.

"That, dressed in black, chubby, bald. That's right, the one crouching under the tree. In the car, Qin Feng stretched out his finger and pointed to an extras who were squatting under a tree and eating a boxed lunch about ten meters away, waiting for luck to come to the door, and said to the assistant director Ning Hao.

"Okay, Kaede. Ning Hao nodded, and went straight to the fat man that Qin Feng had taken a fancy to.

In order to convince these extras of what he said, Ning Hao also deliberately dressed up, dressed himself up almost the same as the crew, and held a folder in his hand.

Except for the fact that there is no badge on his chest, Ning Hao at this time is a complete crew member.

"Director, do you want people? I can play anything, thugs, beatings, dead people, it's okay. As soon as Ning Hao got out of the car, before he could get close to the extras area, some sharp-eyed extras pounced on him like madmen, and immediately surrounded Ning Hao in the crowd.

"Director, I can also play anything, and the price is cheaper than him......"

"Director, choose my ......"

"Pick Me ......"

The crowded crowd suddenly made Ning Hao feel a little dizzy and a little unsuitable for the environment here.

He did come to find actors, but he was not these extras who crowded to the door.

But fortunately, although the behavior of these extras was a little scary, at least they did not lose their minds, and the person closest to Ning Hao always kept a distance of about one meter from him.

Of course, this is the rule of mass showbiz. Even if an unimportant person in the crew comes to find an extra, they have to give enough respect.

If you don't care about anything, you will squeeze in, and you can only be yourself who will provoke people and suffer.

Although the scene is a little chaotic, these are also extras who have been here for so long, and some of the most basic qualities are still there.

Unless someone deliberately makes trouble, even if they don't want them, most of them just sigh helplessly and leave, and they won't even say a word to you, because they have seen too many scenes like this.

"I'm sorry, I'm not here to find you. Ning Hao forced himself to forcibly calm down and said loudly.

"Hey~~~ Busy work, scattered! Scattered!Dispersed!Dispersed!" So the extras who squeezed up shouted in disappointment, and the people who were coming behind also stopped, and then got up and returned to their original place to continue waiting.

"Hello!" Without the crowding of the group performance, Ning Hao suddenly felt a little more comfortable, walked to the fat man that Qin Feng had taken a fancy to before, and said hello.

"Hello!" the fat man looked up at Ning Hao and replied simply.

He saw everything just now, and he originally got up, but because of his size, he couldn't squeeze past those guys. But as a fat man, he also has his own advantages.

On the contrary, he has a better chance of getting a job than those people.

Because the crew took into account the picture effect, it was impossible for all the group performances to only look for thin people. Sometimes people like fat, uncle, and aunt are also essential.

"Can you borrow a step to speak?" Ning Hao asked as he handed out a business card from the studio to the other party.

The fat man took the business card and looked at it, Qin Feng's studio? Could it be that Qin Feng has been very popular recently? But the fat man was only puzzled for a second, whether he was familiar with it or not, as long as he could make money.

So, the fat man stood up again and followed Ning Hao to a slightly sparsely populated place.

"Well, our studio was going to make a film and felt that your body type matched one of our characters in the show.

So I want to know from you, are there any roles you don't want to play?" Ning Hao asked formulaically, although the other party is a group performance, but the group performance is also a person, although most of them do not have any taboos, it does not mean that everyone has no taboos, in order to make the filming smooth in the future, Ning Hao still clarified all the problems according to Qin Feng's requirements.

"Nope. The fat man shook his head.

"Han Jian, can you act?" Ning Hao confirmed again.

"I don't have to pick and choose the people here. The fat man laughed and laughed at himself.

"Okay, if that's fine, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, you go to the studio for an interview at the address on your business card. Ning Hao said.

"I said brother, you're not making fun of me, are you? I still have to run over for an interview when I'm a group performer?" the fat man said with some doubts.

"You're a group actor now, but if you pass the interview, it's not a group performance, it's the protagonist, a character who has a role in every episode.

However, because it is a low-cost production, it is naturally impossible to set the salary according to the starring salary of other crews. Ning Hao explained.

"How much is an episode?" asked the fat man, swallowing his saliva and looking forward to it.

Now he can earn 15,000 a day as a group performer, about 4,000 if he is better in a month, and only more than 3,000 if he is unlucky, as long as he can give more money than he is now, he is willing to do it.

"Five thousand. ”

"Okay, I'll go. The fat man agreed without hesitation, five thousand yuan per episode, and the fool didn't go.

No matter how slow the progress is, he can shoot six or seven episodes a month, right? It will be 35,000, and the whole drama will be counted as 20 episodes, and he can get a salary of 100,000 yuan. I still have to go to the interview, but at least I have this opportunity, right?
