Chapter 339: Development
For the "Please Answer Series", Wang Bao is really very attentive, because it is his carefully prepared work. And it's his first work as a director, so he was involved in the preparation almost the whole process.
For the choice of actors, the heroes and heroines of the first part are played by Wang Bao himself and his wife Zhang Zichen, so there is no need to choose this. The remaining few partners, who can use the company's people, must use the company's people.
Of course, if you want the company to develop, you can't eat alone in the industry. So there are still some important supporting roles that also have to be assigned.
At the same time, the investment in this drama is not small, in order to achieve a realistic sense of the times, many sets Wang Bao is very demanding, so the cost will be very large. In this way, in order to share the risk, and also to be able to win over some allies in the industry, after Wang Bao and Song Jia discussed, they brought Yang Xiaomi's Jiaxing Entertainment and Oceanwide Entertainment behind Zhang Zichen.
Originally, Wang Bao pondered whether to bring Starry Sky Entertainment with him, after all, Wang Bao was backed by Starry Sky Entertainment. But Song Jia gave a negative decision.
Song Jia analyzed Wang Bao like this, Oceanwide Entertainment belongs to diversified development, so in terms of TV series, they have invested a lot. Therefore, Oceanwide will pay a lot of attention to Wang Bao's investment in TV dramas, after all, his past record is very good, which is somewhat a signboard.
But Starry Sky is different, they are mainly film-making. Although he occasionally produces some TV series, they are all self-made, in order to make his rookie actors popular, so Xingkong does not pay much attention to the production of TV series.
Of course, Wang Bao can pick some unimportant small supporting roles for newcomers in the starry sky. While selling personal favors, he can sell favors to Song Jia's girlfriend Qu Jing, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
As for the remaining corners, they can all be taken out to give favors and used to maintain some personal contacts. Of course, the roles are heavier, and the characters who support the plot can't mess around. For example, those parents can only audition when there is no suitable candidate.
Generally speaking, for the current homesick company, it is really not too difficult to prepare a TV crew.
In addition to some set framing work that requires Wang Bao's participation, the rest is the audition work that requires Wang Bao. So Wang Bao was nervous, and at the same time excited and leisurely.
It took almost a month and a half to prepare, and "Please Answer" finally started filming. This time, Wang Bao did not plan to start filming in three parts, but prepared to shoot one, two, and three in a row.
Of course, because the broadcast time has been negotiated with the TV station for a long time, it will be filmed and broadcast. If the ratings are too bad, then the shooting will be interrupted and cut in half. In any case, this TV shooting is considered a commercial act, and other companies, including Wang Bao's own company, will not watch the loss of money, and will play with Wang Bao.
But Wang Bao has confidence in his play, because he has really put too much effort into this play.
In this way, it took Wang Bao more than four months to finish the first part by stumbling. Because he is a director for the first time, and for acting, he comes according to the requirements of filming. Therefore, in the process of shooting, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of NG, which will delay a lot of time.
In addition, Wang Bao has very strict requirements for the set, and if there are some flaws, which may cause goofs, or do not conform to the atmosphere of the times, Wang Bao will ask for redo.
This means that if you don't film now, you don't use film, otherwise Wang Bao would have overspent here.
Although he stumbled, he finally finished filming the first part. But the crew is not disbanded, but will take a few days off after the finale, and then they will devote themselves to the filming of the second part.
Since it's digital photography now, I was able to cut while shooting. After Wang Bao finished filming, the clip basically came out.
Wang Bao was really tired during this time, not only to seize the time to shoot, but also to find time to track the editing, so he lost a lot of weight.
Because Zhang Zichen is the heroine, she has been following Wang Bao. But she still has to take care of her son, and she has no time to take care of Wang Bao at all, so she can only watch him work hard and lose weight every day.
To be honest, Zhang Zichen felt sorry for him. Even, in private, Zhang Zichen has mentioned to Wang Bao many times that after filming the first part, he asked him to hand over this drama to Zhang Yang to film. Because Zhang Yang is a mature TV drama director, especially good at making urban dramas, it is no problem to shoot this.
But Wang Bao didn't agree, just said that from the second part, he would no longer participate in acting as the protagonist, but just be a director and film with peace of mind. In this way, Wang Bao will have more time to rest.
Although Zhang Zichen was still worried in his heart, he could only do this, after all, this matter was Wang Bao's career and interest.
Because he had already negotiated the right to broadcast with the TV station, after the filming of Wang Bao's first part was completed, he contacted the TV station as soon as possible, and then the four star TV stations arranged the time for broadcasting.
You read that right, the premiere of the first part is a four-channel simulcast, and this treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy. This is because of Wang Bao's past achievements, as well as the fact that the TV station wants to have a good relationship with Wang Bao.
Of course, the four TV stations also watched the dramas filmed by Wang Bao in advance, although they did not watch all the episodes, they were also very optimistic about this drama.
Therefore, all of a sudden, the four TV stations overwhelmingly promoted this "Please Answer 1994", which made the audience confused. But then everyone became excited, because Wang Bao did not act in a TV series again after starring in Xingyou, so the audience who has memories of Wang Bao is looking forward to it.
Especially those Wang Bao fans, Wang Bao has not produced many products in the past two years, whether it is singing or acting. Now that there is a TV series starring Wang Bao, it must have ignited the excitement of these fans.
And this time, after Wang Bao made his debut novel "Struggle", he cooperated with Zhang Zichen again, which is really exciting. After all, the relationship between the two is different now, and now the two are husband and wife, and they also have a son.
In anticipation, "Please Answer 1994" finally started.
Nostalgic music, nostalgic scenes, nostalgic days, everything seems so familiar and unfamiliar.
It's not that this world doesn't have this kind of nostalgic film and television dramas, but generally the starting point of these film and television dramas is not the same. Most of them start from grasping the pulse of the times and try to depict the characteristics of the entire era, a bit like the drama of the times in the previous life.
But please answer that no, it starts from the little people, and describes the stories of the little people. Those stars we have chased together, those sports that we have liked together, those two ...... we have committed together
All kinds of images have crossed and evoked the memories of a generation, and this generation is the main group of people in today's society. Therefore, it is unreasonable that the ratings of the four TV stations are excessively high.
And this storytelling technique is very good for those who have been guarding the TV all year round and are old. Because although this drama is also a romantic drama, it is not an idol or blood, it is completely their dish.
So it's no accident that the ratings will be surprisingly high!
In this way, although the four major TVs were happy to celebrate because of the high ratings, Wang Bao and Zhang Zichen also let go of their hanging hearts.
Zhang Zichen did not participate in the performance because of the second part, so she went home early to take the children. And after Wang Bao was broadcast in the TV series, after the ratings came out, he began to devote himself to the intense filming of the second part.
finished filming the second part steadily, and then broadcast it, which was also popular. Then continue to shoot the third part and continue to broadcast, and the ratings are also not low.
After the filming of the three dramas and the broadcast, although a group of people became popular, Wang Bao's identity and status were different. used to be just an actor and singer, and then he added a good screenwriter and program planner, and now he is a famous TV series director.
Although in the eyes of ordinary audiences, the director is not famous, but in the circle, a good director is really of a high status. Especially a director like Wang Bao, who can both write and act, is really rare.
The filming of the three dramas took less than a year and a half, but the scattered time added up took nearly two years.
In the past two years, Wang Bao has not only participated in filming, but also participated in shows, as well as writing songs and albums. Of course, in addition to taking care of his son in the capital, he also has to fly to Nanbang occasionally to see his daughter.
So Wang Bao has been really busy in the past two years, but everything is worth it, because Wang Bao has laid a more solid foundation for his future path.
And Wang Bao's homesick entertainment company, in two years, under the management of Song Jia, has become one of the first-line entertainment companies. Although it can't be compared with a super entertainment company like Star Oceanwide, it is also a leader in the industry.
In two years, my daughter is already four years old and has already gone to kindergarten. And my son is also three years old, and it is almost time to go to kindergarten.
Watching his children grow up, Wang Bao inexplicably felt that he was a little old, and he felt as if he didn't have enough time. Because what he had in his head was now being used less and less, he was now filled with a sense of urgency.
In addition to relying on his own memory to develop the company steadily, he is also studying hard. And there are still a lot of things to learn, professional knowledge of lyrics and composition, and more professional knowledge of screenwriting and directing. Fortunately, he has graduated from film school, and in terms of acting skills, he can be regarded as meeting the industry standard and being a qualified actor.
In the past, he only had practical experience and no theoretical knowledge to support him, but now he has completed the integration of exercises and methods, and his acting skills have finally been completed.
Everything is developing step by step, and Wang Bao can feel that he is more closely integrated with this world. Now that he has a family and a career here, a child and his own work, he is no longer an outsider!
It's almost May Day, and I'm a little busy, so I went to bed late for the past two days. Plus it's going to end, so the update was interrupted for two days.
Sorry guys!
