At eleven o'clock in the evening, the small building that "temporarily" still belonged to Li Mo.

Li Mo turned off the TV and motioned to Zong Shuai and Wei Zheng to talk about the current progress of the work at hand.

Zong Shuai glanced at Wei Zheng, and saw that he didn't mean to speak, so he sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "In general, because the team behind the scenes is all newcomers......

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Li Mo's mouth, he didn't know that Zong Shuai was saving face for him and throwing the chaos at the beginning of the filming on the heads of those "newcomers", but the root of the problem in this regard was him, which was an undeniable fact.

"Brother Zong, you don't have to save me any face, there will definitely be all kinds of problems with newcomers, the problem is that my work plan is not detailed enough, and Brother Wei Zheng is not an outsider, and it makes people laugh at it when he hides it. ”

Although Wei Zheng joined the crew last, Li Mo also communicated with Zong Shuai in private, making it clear that if the first season of "Love Apartment" is successful, Wei Zheng will take over the directing when the sequel is filmed, so Zong Shuai has recently begun to slowly show favor to Wei Zheng during the filming process, hoping to play a dozen emotional cards when approaching the director of the sequel in the future.

Now that Li Mo had spoken, Zong Shuai smiled and continued, "...... Because there are more newcomers in the behind-the-scenes team, I didn't expect it at the beginning, and the invisible situation was more prominent, but after Xiaomo took the crew to the knife on the first day, the situation was much better. ”

"How is the execution of the shooting plan?" Li Mo asked the question he was most concerned about, "Can we finish filming at the scheduled time?"

Zong Shuai flipped through the plan in his hand, compared the actual progress, and said with great certainty: "Although the current shooting progress is still behind the plan, the amplitude is not large, and it should be able to be made up later." It looks like you should be able to finish the shoot on time. I think we can use the existing footage, try to edit out some of the content, and then try to explore the distribution channels. ”

Li Mo lowered his head and thought about it, and did not answer Zong Shuai, but asked Wei Zheng: "Brother Zheng, most of the current content is controlled by you, you can help me take a look, whether the material is enough for editing." ”

Wei Zheng reviewed the filming content on his side, and he was surprised to find that the filming content of this short week was enough to be edited into a complete story paragraph of nearly twenty minutes, although it was not enough to reach the length of a complete TV series, but at least it could be used as a preview film.

Why is this happening? Could it be that Li Mo planned this from the beginning? How did his brain grow?

Li Mo did plan to shoot and edit at the same time from the beginning, and the reason was very simple: because there was not enough time......

Normally, the number of waste shots generated during the filming of a TV series will be several times or even more than ten times the number of final shots, and in the post-production after the filming is completed, it is generally necessary to go through a series of steps such as initial cutting, formal editing, composition and selection, special effects recording, dubbing and synthesis to complete the final film.

If Li Mo follows the normal process and waits for all the footage to be filmed before starting editing and post-production, coupled with the unpredictable publicity and release negotiation time, it is very likely that his loan will not be repaid on time, resulting in a default.

Therefore, he must race against time to reduce the time of filming and production, and come up with a complete film as soon as possible.

With the help of memories of his past life, Li Mo can clearly know what kind of results the future film needs to present, so in the shooting plan, he drew a sufficiently detailed storyboard script and handed it to Wei Zheng.

Maybe the actors involved in the filming don't know what this means, but for Wei Zheng, if he gets this kind of thing, he will shoot a bunch of waste shots, and he doesn't need Li Mo to do it, and the teacher who taught him back then will fall from the sky and directly destroy other people.

Without him, he can't shoot what Li Mo wants with this kind of thing, and this kind of person is not worthy of being called a director at all.

Under Li Mo's deliberate control, "Love Apartment" removed the plot that needed special effects support, and the actors' dubbing also used live recording, in order to save post-production time as much as possible.

In Li Mo's plan, a complete broadcast version should be delivered to Zong Shuai by early April at the latest, so that he could take it out and contact distribution and broadcast channels. Now the footage shot by Li Mo and Wei Zheng is actually the first cut in the middle of shooting, as long as it is slightly retouched, and then they are connected in series, it is a Mao film that can be used as a trial.

In the past few days, after reading the records of the scene recording department, Li Moben had the intention of proposing to Zong Shuai to make a clip for the publisher to try to see.

I just asked Wei Zheng to confirm, but I just wanted to confirm whether my idea could be implemented.

And the main reason why Li Mo raised the issue of making a preview clip so early was that he was not confident in the publicity and distribution of "Love Apartment".

A film and television work of high quality is always only the basis for success, although it is necessary, but it is not the whole story.

A bad movie, if it is coordinated with good enough publicity, can also get good results. For example, Li Mo's movie "Blair the Witch" on the other side of the Pacific Ocean in his previous life......

No matter from any professional point of view, it is a big bad movie, but the box office results it has achieved are enough for latecomers to look up to.

Even if it is a film and television work that was recognized as a classic in the previous life, I don't know how many of it is because there was a problem in the publicity and distribution process, which caused the investor to lose all his money.

Li Mo has no qualifications, and the resources of the Modu Drama Academy cannot be completely tilted to him, and Zong Shuai's energy is more reflected in the movie. Therefore, in the release of "Love Apartment", Zong Shuai and Li Mo are actually facing a vast and unknown blank field.

With the advancement of time, each David TV station has also expanded from a single TV drama broadcast platform to a series of fields such as variety shows, production, and investment, and finally became a huge collection of broadcasting, self-production, and investment.

The time period that Li Mo traveled through was actually the period when David TV began to try to make its own TV series.

Li Mo learned through Sun Yuyang's relationship that Mango Channel had completed the remake of "Let's Go to Watch Meteor Shower" from the classic idol drama of Baodao last year, but due to the lack of market experience, Mango Channel has not yet found a suitable broadcast time. Because according to the news that came out after the trial in the industry, most people who have watched the test film feel that the plot of this drama is nothing new, and the product placement has reached the point where it has ignored the logic of the plot, so they are not very optimistic about the ratings prospects of this work.

But Li Mo knew that if nothing else, Mango Channel's attempt would be a great success. That is, from the beginning of this drama, the more scolding the more popular it becomes, and the more scolding it is, the higher the ratings have become the norm in the field of TV dramas for a period of time.

It wasn't until the advent of works such as "The Pretender", "In the Name of the People", and "Langya Bang" that investors woke up from the dream that traffic was king, and turned to pay attention to the content of TV dramas and the acting skills of actors.

What Li Mo wants to do now is to get a piece of the biggest cake as possible in the upcoming era of "traffic", so as to earn the first pot of gold for his future development.
