"Brother Huang, I'm Xiao Peng, are you still sleeping at home? I have a chance here, yes, I have my way, you can't come, there are characters with lines, yes, absolutely show your face again. Okay, I'll be waiting for you in Studio 2 in the West District of the Film and Television Base. ”

Peng Yichen hung up the phone in his hand, and while stomping on the side of the street to drive away the chill on his feet, he carefully put the phone into the inner pocket of his down jacket. With his current financial conditions, he has no money to change his mobile phone.

"Haha, Brother Wang, my friend will be here soon, he is definitely hardworking, we have been a group performer for more than a year, and we will definitely not cause you trouble. Peng Yichen said in a hoarse voice and assured the drama affairs of Huimin Film and Television Company to find the masses.

"Okay, Xiao Peng, I only looked for you because you were honest, you and your friends will follow me into the crew, let you do whatever you want, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't do what you shouldn't do. Let the director get angry, I can't eat and walk around, do you know?"

Wang has obviously been doing it for many years, and he knows that there are a lot of problems with these group performances, so he said it in advance, and he can't blame him for driving away those disobedient group performers afterwards.

Peng Yichen smiled and nodded, looking honest, now he is standing behind the drama staff of Huimin Film and Television Company, no different from all ordinary group performers who have just come out of the countryside, hooking his back, hunching his waist, wearing a torn dogskin hat, his face is full of gray, and he is handsome and upright has nothing to do with him at all.

It's not that he's nervous, it's just that he has seen too many ugly people and things in his previous life, as the saying goes, Hades is easy to see, but ghosts are difficult.

In order not to have any accidents before meeting the director, Peng Yichen decided to dress himself up as an ordinary extra, and after joining the crew, it is the safest way to find an opportunity to show his acting skills.

The old brother named Huang Bo who Peng Yichen specially called is basically the same as Huang Bo, the "five billion actor" on the earth, from appearance to experience.

Although I haven't seen Huang Bo's performance in the crew, the two of them have played a few scenes in the rental house, even in the eyes of Peng Yichen, an "old drama bone", the current Huang Bo's acting skills are better than those of the professional actors who have just graduated from Kyoto Film and Television and Huaxia Drama Academy.

What's even more amazing is that Huang Bo's performance is extremely life-like, which can express the emotions and life details of various small people at the bottom of the society vividly and naturally.

In the past month, Huang Bo has been taking good care of him, and on the first day of junior high school, he specially made a dumpling and asked him to eat it together.

In the past, Peng Yichen was a pampered rich second generation, and he didn't feel much about Huang Bo's care and concern, but Peng Yichen, who had been in the society for more than 20 years, knew that it was rare in society to take such care of a stranger.

This opportunity, he plans to pull Huang Bo along, not only because Huang Bo's personality and acting skills are very good, but also because if the two of them can play the two roles in the TV series together, they will have more weight in the crew in the future, so that they will not be easily stepped on.

Huang Bo ran to the place in just ten minutes, he looked for a while and didn't see Peng Yichen, it was when Peng Yichen came to pull him that he saw that this standard young man who looked like a migrant worker turned out to be a handsome mixed-race guy who shared a house with him.

Although he was very surprised, he was also an old man, so he didn't say anything, and followed Peng Yichen and Wang Juwu to meet, and Wang Juwu took the two of them and three or five other group actors into the filming venue together.

I don't know if it's because it's still early, the set, lighting, and art in the crew haven't come yet, and there are a lot of young men who move props. As Peng Yichen walked, he whispered to Wang about the current situation of the crew. Don't look at his early twenties now, but he lived to be in his forties in his last life.

I heard that Wang Juwu's accent was from SD Jinan, and he casually came to a few words of Jinan dialect, which he learned when he practiced his lines in his previous life, but he didn't expect to use it now.

This is not without chatting a few words, Wang Juwu has already called him a brother, from Wang Juwu's mouth, Peng Yichen inquired that the TV series filmed by Huimin Film and Television Company this time is called "Tomorrow's Star", and the director in charge of filming the TV series is called Zhang Xingping.

He is one of the few big directors in China, and he is best at shooting literary films and feature films with deep emotional entanglements and complex characters, and his famous work is the youth love movie "Midsummer Afternoon Love" just filmed last year, which seems to have been nominated for Best Director at the Yanhuang Film Festival.

"Tomorrow's Star" is generally a youth idol drama, and after detailed market research, Huimin Film and Television Company believes that almost all the current TV stations broadcast large-scale historical dramas, war dramas, and spy war dramas, which are the main theme dramas, and the audience has watched too much and has a rebellious mentality.

Huimin Film and Television's first TV series is to avoid these popular TV drama genres now, and attract a large number of young people in their 80s and 90s to watch by creating youth idols.

It is not certain whether the ratings can explode Huimin Film and Television, but it is a gamble to see if it can gain a firm foothold in the TV drama market in one fell swoop with the exclusive advantage of creating a new TV drama genre.

Peng Yichen, who has experience in his previous life, of course knows the power of idol dramas, and it can be said that in his memory in his last life, 80% of the ratings of TV dramas that can really explode are idol dramas.

Not to mention "Meteor Garden", "Carry Love to the End" and a large number of Korean dramas all rely on the genre of idol dramas to create ratings miracles, even if it is "Huanzhu Gege" and "Deep Love and Rainy" are dressed in the skin of historical jokes, TV series that are actually idol dramas have achieved great success.

Now Huaxia allows private companies to shoot TV dramas for too short a time, and the TV screen is almost full of large-scale TV dramas such as historical dramas and war dramas, and the audience has already developed a rebellious mentality.

At a time when people's incomes are constantly increasing and working hours are decreasing, launching an idol drama, as long as the shooting quality is guaranteed, the ratings will definitely explode.

Peng Yichen wholeheartedly wanted to join the crew of Huimin Film and Television Company, because he knew that this company had been making movies before, even if it has changed to TV series now, but the director's requirements for actors will inevitably not be the same as ordinary TV drama directors, this is the opportunity for him and Huang Bo.

Lan Xing's film and television drama Peng Yichen has also watched a lot, and the performance style of the TV series here is basically in accordance with the performance style of stage plays and dramas.

Even the main characters and main supporting characters mostly rely on label-style emotional actions and exaggerated expressions to represent the characters, not to mention the performance of special actors and ensembles.

Therefore, according to Peng Yichen's analysis, no matter how accurate the vision of the boss of the film and television company is, everything is zero if the TV series cannot be filmed.

Because the average film director is very resistant to shooting TV series, this is not only because of how high the film director is or looks down on TV series.

Only people who have actually filmed movies and TV series know how different the shooting modes of movies and TV series are.

Movies have very strict requirements for performance, sets, composition, lighting, and shooting techniques, and the shooting of every shot requires all the effort for the film.

If you shoot a film on film, because the cost of film is very high (some small-cost art films, or even film costs, can account for one-half or even two-thirds of the total investment of a film).

If an actor NG more than 5 or 6 times in a shot, the director has to consider whether to let you get out, because he is afraid that the entire crew will be stopped at the end of the shoot because of the overrun of film costs, after all, not every director is Cameron can force investors to increase investment.

Even a director who shoots with a digital camera will never allow the actors to NG frequently, because the total duration of the film is inherently short, and every shot material is very important, and almost all the personnel of the entire crew, such as camera, art, lighting, and props, need to be mobilized.

The whole crew has put in a lot of labor just because you made a little performance mistake, and if you are always NG as an actor, you can imagine how much resentment the crew will have towards you, and in the long run, the relationship between the actor and the rest of the crew will get worse and worse, and the movie will not be able to shoot normally.

TV series shooting is the opposite of film shooting, because TV series run for a very long time, and often need to shoot a large amount of footage repeatedly in a single scene.

This causes TV series filming to often rarely consider acting skills, because if you don't act well once, you will be asked to act ten times, and you can always grind out the right shots.

Often a TV series can become a popular TV series by writing a favorite plot and creating a few likable characters.

Whether it is a film director or a movie actor, if you often shoot TV series, the level of filming and performance will inevitably decline, and there is inertia in human nature, and who will be strict with themselves about things that can be simply fooled.

So unless you can't get by, the average film director will not easily shoot a TV series.

Zhang Xingping is obviously not the kind of film director who can't get by, and last year his film was nominated for Best Director at the Yanhuang Film Festival, the highest award for domestic films, even if he didn't win the best director in the end, he is also recognized as a big director in the circle.

This time he came to Wuzhou Film and Television Base to shoot an idol drama, and Zhang Xingping was willing to accept it after seeing the face of the boss of Huimin Company, after all, when Zhang Xingping was not famous, the boss of Huimin Company paid him to make the first movie, and it was impossible for Zhang Xingping not to pay back this favor.

But what he didn't expect was that such a simple TV series really stumped him Director Zhang Da......
