At the end of March, there were only a few shots left for "Mysterious Superstar" in Zhuozhou, and Tang An took the crew to Nanjing.

There are also two scenes of "The Masked Singer" here in Nanjing, as well as the scene where the music producer played by Lei Jiayin was scolded at the awards ceremony.

Correspondingly, the last few shots left in Zhuozhou are the shots of the family watching TV.

Although you could find a gymnasium to shoot in Beijing before, whether it is a show or a scene at the awards ceremony, it takes time to prepare, and the venue must be coordinated in advance.

Anyway, "The Masked Singer" is a cooperation between the group and Jiangning Satellite TV.

I can only come here to shoot, and then take some people to Zhuozhou to make up for the remaining shots, and it is not troublesome.

"The Masked Singer" was recorded at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, unlike the original Canxing shows, which were mostly recorded in second- and third-tier cities in order to save money.

The show site was already full of audiences, and they were all free group performances.

is different from the original show, there is no need for a guessing panel, guessing guests, and a jury, just four judges.

And the show itself has no amateurs at this time, and the original selling point is that some celebrities who are well known to the audience sing with their faces covered.

The four judges, Lei Jiayin, the original Wang Feng, and Xu Zheng, who has already finished "Heart Flower Road", came to join in the fun, and the new generation of female singer Deng Zhiqi, who just won the overall runner-up of "I Am a Singer" in January.

The female judges are going to be scolded by Lei Jiayin, and it is not appropriate to be old.

Wang Feng and Xu Zheng are here to play soy sauce, to make up the numbers, it doesn't matter if Xu Zheng is a professional singer or not.

The preparations were handed over to the people below, and the chief director of Tudou Pictures was temporarily pulled to help.

"Director Xu, it seems that everything is going well over there in "Heart Flower Road", do you think there is a problem with breaking one billion this time?"

Tang An and Xu Zheng chatted about the movie, and "Heart Blossom Road" was completed half a month earlier than expected.

With Ning Hao's current situation, he has just broken away from the pony and stood on his own, and "The Great Gold Robbery" is not very successful, this time he has gathered Xu Zheng and Wang Bo, the two major comedy stars, obviously he must succeed, in this case, he should be more cautious.

But it was still completed ahead of schedule, and it seems that Ning Hao is very confident in the film this time.

Xu Zheng said with a smile, "It's hard to say one billion, it depends on the situation, but I participated in the whole process of his film, I don't think it will make Tang Dong lose money." ”

Tang An waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if I lose money or not, the important thing is that Ning Hao can't fail, now the older generation of directors is not as good as before, there is a lack of directors in China who can make money and ensure quality, if all the money that can make money is bad movies, it will be troublesome." ”

Just like the later TV drama market, bad movies are flying all over the sky, but those bad movies that use two small fresh meat circles to make money can make money.

How could investors not know that it was a bad movie, but the market was already crowded with bad movies.

A good film may not be able to make money, but according to the routine, find a few traffic, buy hot searches, ratings, and publicize a wave, you can make money, and investors want to get which one to shoot.

Later, the quality of "The Alliance of Military Divisions", which stood out among many costume romance dramas, is good, and the story structure, service, lighting, photography, lines, etc. are a few streets stronger than those costume romance dramas.

Don't care about the starring RP, it's not a tampering with history, after all, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is all compiled, and the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is much worse than the original book.

It is indeed well-made, although Cao Cao collapsed after his death, and without such a major character, Cao Pi played by Li Chen could not hold up.

It is well-made, which means that it costs a lot of money in every aspect, the cost is too high, and in the end, it doesn't make any money, and the next "Tiger Roaring Dragon" is not even willing to buy it by satellite TV.

If you don't make money if you do it well, investors actually have no choice, they all want to make money, and they all go to make bad movies according to that model.

And when this model is fixed, more and more people rely on this model to eat, and the interest team is getting bigger and bigger, and ordinary people dare not break it.

The production of "In the Name of the People" is also of a high standard, but the success is not only due to the level of production, the biggest factor is to directly open the darkness of officialdom and spread it in front of the audience.

It vividly performed what the people wanted to say and didn't dare to say, and helped the people vent their dissatisfaction that had been pressed in their hearts for many years, so it became very popular.

Although there are many bad movies in the film industry, it is slightly better than the TV drama industry.

There is never a shortage of films that can make money in China, with a box office of tens of billions a year, there are always those that can sell money, unless it is so bad that the audience will not enter the cinema.

But there is a lack of high-quality movies that can make money, if Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Wu Ershan make movies with good quality but not profitable, or bad movies but make a lot of money, it will be a bad thing for the film industry.

When a good movie can't make money, slowly no one will make a good movie.

"Heart Flower Road" is not worried, even if you don't know the result, as long as Ning Hao can tell a story clearly, with the comedy talents of Xu Zheng and Wang Bo, it is enough to support a movie.

Then Tang An asked Xu Zheng about his current film contract and project, but Xu Zheng did not have the idea of making a movie for the time being, but became an investor.

"Tang Dong, the embarrassing series has been filmed three times in a row, I'm afraid the audience is also a little aesthetically fatigued, so I think it will take two years to continue the fourth part, recently I helped Ning Hao supervise an animated film "Year Beast War", and Mr. Ya introduced me to a project called "Players Behind the Scenes", I have made more comedies, and I also want to transform. And this script has been in the group for half a year, and it has not been taken seriously. Xu Zheng explained.

"Players Behind the Scenes"?

There are too many scripts in the company, and Tang An can't pay attention to every one, even if it takes a long time just to read the catalog.

Tang An recalled that Ren Pengyuan, the screenwriter and director of this film, interned at the movie channel a few years ago, when Ya Ning was the deputy director of the movie channel, and it was not surprising that they knew each other.

I stopped directing, changed to investment, and sure enough, when I reached a certain level, my ambitions will get bigger and bigger.

It's too tiring to direct and act by yourself, just being an actor and a producer is much easier, and it's already a big success, so you don't have to think about proving yourself all day long.

Tang An also understood, nodded and said, "Since you like it, then I will leave it to you to lead, the group and the Forbidden City Media can participate in it, and you can ask Director Tian for advice on that animated movie, he is an expert in this regard." ”

Hearing that Tang An didn't let himself follow up on the embarrassing series, Xu Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

That's how strange people are, and he desperately needed the series to make his rise quickly.

But now people are popular, not only as directors or actors, but also because of fame, which can make any investor pay tens of millions of dollars.

However, after succeeding in the field of comedy, Xu Zheng wanted to prove that he could succeed not only by comedy, just like Feng Xiaogang at the beginning, he was already one of the best in the field of comedy, and he wanted to transform.

The more successful you are, the more you want, the common disease of human beings, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty have to live forever, you look at the ordinary people who think about this.

chatted with Xu Zheng, Tang An exchanged words with Wang Feng again, and both of them are now serving as mentors in variety shows produced by Tudou Pictures.

More than half an hour later, the chief director of "The Masked Singer", who was temporarily called to do on-site scheduling, came to ask for instructions, and everything was ready.

"It's hard work, let's get started. ”

Tang An nodded, stepped down to the side, and sat behind the monitor.

You don't need any opening words, just get started.

The audience at the scene has already been told by the production team one by one.

It's not difficult, the first scene was a little boy singing, and then he was degraded by Lei Jiayin as worthless.

This little boy found a little famous little singer Li Zewei, 12 years old this year, who won the annual championship of "Very 6+1" and participated in a lot of various children's singing competitions.

sang the letter orchestra's "Sea and Sky", which is also a song he has sung in many competitions before, and he is good at it, which is different from the original noisy singing and dancing.

After all, China is different from Yindu, and Yindu people sing and dance at every turn.

This shot is mainly to highlight Lei Jiayin's poisonous tongue and stinky temper.

If the audience first thinks that this kid sings averagely, then the character image at the beginning of the chapter will not stand.

Of course, it won't be a natural sound that moves everyone, otherwise it's too much.

The singing skills are still very good, but it is not suitable to sing this song at this age.

I had suspected that I was walking in the desert

Never bear fruit, no matter what kind of dream

Only then did he spread his wings, but the wind became silent

Can the pain of habit be considered a gain?

Seven or eight cameras began to shoot the expressions of several audience members and judges, and of course, they were all arranged.

After the singing, the audience's reaction has to be filmed, and it will take about a second at that time.

After the singing, Li Hao, the host borrowed from Jiangning Satellite TV, came to the stage and began to ask the judges' opinions.

Deng Zhiqi spoke first, and said with a doting face, "Little brother, you sing so well, just because you sing so well at such a young age, I will give you ten points." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lei Jiayin next to him immediately questioned loudly as if he had heard something ridiculous.

"What, give 10 points at a young age? Do you know that we are a singing program, singing!"

Deng Zhiqi said, "How to evaluate, I know it myself!"

Lei Jiayin pointed his hand and looked at her with slanted eyes, "You are an amateur judge, if you don't have any emotion when you see him singing, you will roar hard in the chorus." ”

Turning his head to look at the lookout, "Boy, you're an insult to singing, go back and practice for two more years." ”

Deng Zhiqi was furious, "How can you say that, do you know what singing is?"

"Don't interrupt!"

Lei Jiayin pointed at Deng Zhiqi again, and after drinking her, he made a gesture to the children on the stage to go out.

"Next!"

The little boy couldn't stand being said like this in public, so he took off the area and threw it to the ground, with tears in his eyes, and left with a face full of grievances.

After the first filming, the audience was not prepared, but they were shocked by Lei Jiayin's arrogant attitude.

"Lei Jiayin's hairstyle, it's like changing your head with a hairstyle, and the beard, the whole person looks like a 250. ”

"This little boy sings "The Sea and the Sky" very well, but it is a bit inappropriate to sing this song at this age, and it lacks feelings. ”

"This should be a villain, the heroine has a musical dream, and Lei Jiayin is the villain, specifically blocking the heroine's dream?"

"I don't know, I guess so, there is no information about this film, and I won't know until the summer vacation. ”

"That's not necessarily, how can Tang An's film be so simple, I don't hate the role of Lei Jiayin, but it's quite funny. ”

"I'm thinking the same, it's too venomous, but it's funny. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, "Mysterious Superstar" did not reveal any details, according to the usual practice, the trailer should not be released until a month before the release, and the audience didn't even know the character image and relationship before that.

Despite the audience's guessing, Tang An still had to continue filming.

This is the first pass is decent, and the second time is continued.

The center is still on Lei Jiayin, this is the first shot he has appeared, and the character must be erected, otherwise it will be difficult to shape it later.

Although Lei Jiayin changed his arrogant hairstyle and grew a beard, he still lacked the extreme arrogance and self.

However, Tang An was prepared, beckoned Lei Jiayin down, asked people to take a tablet, and played a few clips of "The Birth of an Actor".

"Look at Zhang Ziyi's performance in this show, you are more arrogant than her, even extremely rude, take a good look and figure it out for yourself. ”

"The Birth of an Actor" has also been broadcast, Zhang Ziyi and Liu Ye are still mentors, and the roles are the same.

These are all clips of Zhang Ziyi's particularly poisonous tongue picked out by Tang An, not only for the actors, but also for Liu Ye.

Learn from Zhang Ziyi, learn from Zhang Ziyi, the director has spoken.

Lei Jiayin could only watch this edited video twice seriously, and after watching it, he thought about it and asked Tang An, "Director Tang, why don't I throw shoes like this?"

This is a paragraph in the video, Liu Ye and Zhang Ziyi disagreed, but they couldn't talk about her, so they shouted: Sister-in-law, you just raise the bar with me!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Ye directly slapped his mobile phone on the table, and Zhang Ziyi also became angry and said: What else will you do besides shooting your mobile phone?"

Liu Ye was also angry after hearing this, and took off his shoes and slapped them on the table, but Zhang Ziyi next threw Liu Ye's shoes to the ground.

"Just throw your shoes away. ”

Tang An shook his head and took off his shoes because he couldn't say that Liu Ye couldn't beat Zhang Ziyi, but here it was obvious that the Lei family's mouth cannon was stronger, and the other judge was speechless again and again.

It was too reluctant to take it off and throw it at Deng Zhiqi directly, it should be Deng Zhiqi who should be angry and not him, and it was too much.

Tang An thought for a while and said, "Later, your emotions will be stronger, and then at the beginning, take a pen and turn it in your hand, and when Deng Zhiqi finished commenting, you slapped the pen heavily on the table before you refuted." ”

"Turn the pen, turn the pen, I go to school every day. ”

This is a strong point, the field affairs brought a pen, Lei Jiayin practiced it, and it soon slipped away.

Then the third time started, this time Lei Jiayin's emotions were more intense, but it was too exposed, too heavy, not like the character's own temperament, but as if he was stimulated by something.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth times have been grinding eleven times before it behaves very naturally, and it is completely the normal behavior of the characters themselves.

However, Tang An looked back at the film again, and there were a few small flaws elsewhere.

"Big head come here. ”

"Hey, what did you say?"

NG eleven times in a row, still in front of so many audiences at the scene, Lei Jiayin was a little embarrassed.

However, I am still afraid that Tang An will be angry, although it is unlikely that he will be scolded too hard in public, but who knows if he will not scold afterwards.

However, Tang An didn't say that he didn't act well, but advised, "In this way, let's change a detail, when you slap the pen on the table, don't wait for Deng Zhiqi to finish, just wait for her last word to say or is about to speak." ”

"Okay, Director Tang, I see. ”

After filming for ten years, Lei Jiayin has always known what the benefits of this action in advance are a few tenths of a second.

But he asked again, "Do you want to talk to Deng Zhiqi?"

Tang An shook his head, "No, it would be more natural to suddenly attack her performance." ”

Lei Jiayin responded, didn't say more, and returned to the judges' seat on the stage.

In the twelfth shooting, Lei Jiayin advanced by half a beat, and slapped the pen before Deng Zhiqi finished speaking, which really scared Deng Zhiqi.

But fortunately, she doesn't have to answer the words immediately, and there is still time to react, otherwise she will have to reshoot.

After the filming of one scene, a quarter of an hour rest, followed by the second scene, which is the end of the scene, the heroine takes the stage.

is different from the original heroine who went directly to the award ceremony, this time it is to end the whole film in an ordinary competition.

shows his true face on the stage, whether he will continue to compete in the future, whether he will not act, whether he will be a singer or not.

From a high school student girl in a small city to standing on the stage of the most well-known singing competition in the country, it is such an inspirational story, as for the follow-up, it is up to the audience to guess.

A touching shot, but the actor's mood is simple, brewing well, and it is not difficult to shoot.

On stage, Xiaodi held the microphone in both hands, but this time he didn't wear a mask.

"Everybody thought I was the mystery superstar, but I wasn't, and when I was six years old, my mom sold me a guitar and took the money out of my dad's wallet. ”

"She used to have a necklace and only that one, and she sold it and bought me a laptop. ”

"When I was not born, my dad wanted to end my life, it was my mom who brought me into this world, and she was the one who wrote my life, and she hasn't stopped writing now. ”

"It has always been my dream to be able to stand on this stage and sing, but there are some people who are not allowed to have dreams, and the freedom to dream was given to me by my mother. ”

"The mystery superstar is me, and it's my mom. ”

"Mom, you're the best mom in the world!"

It took a lot of time to take a long shot, but fortunately, it could be filmed at night, plus the scene where Lei Jiayin was scolded by his former students at the award ceremony, and the whole day was successfully filmed.

Next, Tang An returned to Zhuozhou with the crew and made up a few shots.

On April 2nd, "Mystery Superstar" was officially completed!
