Chapter 338: Starring?
Chapter 338 Starring?
As far as funny short films are concerned, Jiang Xia has a lot of choice.
Not to mention the short films of major events, just the short films that are updated every Monday, there are three seasons of "Never Expected" alone, "Sling Man" has four seasons, "The Best Lady" also has four seasons, and "Waste Wood Brothers" is also four seasons......
Even if it can't be applied to all of them, just the use of some of these stalks has made Jiang Xia shoot short films for two years in a row, and there is no problem at all, but when it came to the final choice, Jiang Xia still put "Never Expected" in the first place.
In terms of online dramas produced by real pure silk newcomers, "Never Expected" is the most successful one. Other funny short dramas are all joined by big-name stars, but "Never Expected" was filmed by a group of amateurs, which also caused huge repercussions, and the classic lines were widely circulated.
Think about the team that made "Never Expected", and then think about their starring roles. First of all, Bai Ke, who was originally a dubbing officer, was not from a professional background at all, but the role of Wang Dazhui can be said to have become famous in one fell swoop. Then there is Zhang Benyu, who came back from abroad and studied finance. Kong Lianshun, the goddess of Kong, is the same as Shen Fatzi, who is engaged in post-production special effects. The cleaning sister Ge Bu is the publicity manager, and she works with Feng Lin. Xiao Ai is the dubbing director, Liu Xunzimo is the director, Supreme Yu is the screenwriter, and Yi Xiaoxing is also the director.
After watching the whole drama, there is no serious actor, but it can cause a ratings frenzy on the Internet, which shows the charm of this miniseries.
"Sling Man", which also has high ratings, is more of a celebrity to help, and many big-name stars before and after are purely cameos. With Dapeng's connections, he pulled it over little by little. Of course, it can't be denied that the stalk of "Sling Man" is more down-to-earth, which is the reason for its success, but it is very good to create a stalk that can be passed down for a long time.
Compared with these two dramas, the production team of "Best Lady" is the same as that of "Silk Man", the type and style are similar, but the influence is obviously not as good as "**Silk Man".
"Waste Wood Brothers" is the least influential one, the cooperation between Wang Ning and Xiu Rui mainly tells the funny story of the workplace, and the difference between this drama lies in the continuity of the story.
Other dramas are like countless stalks spliced together, and a few minutes of a small story are combined. "Waste Wood Brothers" is not, it is really the same as a sitcom, the story is very continuous, and the four seasons tell a story, perhaps this is also the reason for its low influence, which cannot be seen separately.
Jiang Xia didn't watch "Never Expected" in his last life, but by chance, he saw the fifth episode of the first season of Wanwan, and after that, he made up the front again, and looked forward to the back. "Sling Man" and "Best Lady" can be taken casually in the middle, and they can also be hilarious. "Waste Wood Brothers" has to be linked to the context, and if you take an episode alone, you may not be able to understand it.
The short film part of "Nonsense", Jiang Xia can't use it as a serial, it can only be a short film and a short drama, which can be watched separately.
So Jiang Xia's eyes were only on "Never Expected", this miniseries, Jiang Xia is only going to take the first season, and some stalks still need to be modified, or even discarded. Similarly, I am also going to bring in some stalks of "Sling Man", and Jiang Xia has to think carefully about how to get it.
For the next period of time, Jiang Xia was working on this script, but Zhang Pengpeng took Jiang Xia's song list and went to get him accompaniment all over the world. Hearing that Zhang Pengpeng was going missing, Jiang Xia pouted and thought, when the local tyrant got up, he directly raised an orchestra and specialized in accompaniment. Jiang Xia just thinks about it, he can't afford to raise an orchestra.
The script of "Never Expected" was made very quickly, and Wanhe Tianyi was able to produce one issue a week, counting the filming cycle and post-production, it is estimated that it will be a week's shooting time.
At the speed of Jiang Xia, who can shoot a MV a day, it is too easy to shoot such a short drama for a few minutes, and perhaps the only difficulty lies in the actors.
On Monday, Jiang Xia shouted for a plenary meeting.
As the second boss of the studio, after the newcomers joined, they really didn't see Jiang Xia take care of anything. You Fangfei is in charge of all the big and small affairs, and Jiang Xia's work is very leisurely, but everyone knows that the most important thing in the entire studio is this second boss. After it has been determined that the money earned by Gongshan this year will not participate in the dividends, how much bonus everyone in the studio can get at the end of the year depends on how much Jiangxia can figure out.
The meeting was not in the conference room, and the original large conference room could no longer accommodate so many people after half of it was assigned to Jiang Xia as an office.
You Fangfei was also in the studio, and she also heard Jiang Xia say that there were movements, so she came to listen to it.
"Everyone's all together, right? Jiang Xia swept around, the meeting was in the big office, and almost everyone was here.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia said: "This year, the studio has recruited a lot of people, everyone is an elite from all walks of life, and it is our honor to join our studio." This year, there is no pressure on the studio, so it is difficult for everyone to show off their talents, and everyone must have itchy hands, so I have prepared a shooting plan, which we will focus on for a long time to come. ”
You Fangfei and Zhao Yongjiang knew about Jiangxia's plan, but they didn't know what it was, and the rest were very curious about what the focus of work was.
As a new legend in the entertainment industry, although Jiang Xia is still a fourth-tier star, his multiple identities bring him attention that is not weaker than that of third-tier stars. It is the first director to succeed at such a young age.
The newcomers to the studio don't know much about Jiangxia, and there are a few people in the special effects department, who are quite familiar with Jiangxia, after all, they followed Jiangxia to do all the post-production of Gongshan MV.
"Shanshan is busy with work, and just as the new album is being released, there is still a TV series being filmed, and I don't think I have time to come back and shoot our short film. So the short film I chose, the main actor is a male actor, and I myself will not play the male lead, and the male lead actor I tend to be Zhao Yongjiang. These are just to give you a breath, and the next thing is the task arrangement, mainly the props department, Zhao Miao, specifically, Yishen will tell you, you follow. Jiang Xia first said a rough idea.
Zhao Miao glanced at Xu Yishen, his sitting posture was still straight, even if there were many people, Xu Yishen was still the same Xu Yishen before, and he was out of step with everyone.
Jiang Xia continued: "The short dramas filmed must be of high standards. As for the actors, as far as we digest internally, we don't need many people to act. All my requirements are in this plan, and all departments will take it back to study, prepare this week, shoot next week, and strive to launch the first issue next week. Also, be careful to keep it secret. The other is advertising sponsorship, which must be talked about in advance, our skit advertisements should be distinguished from nonsense, if you are an old customer, let them have an extra copy, Feng Lin will follow, OK?"
didn't say too much, the specific situation of each newcomer, Jiang Xia is going to watch it when filming the skit. Xu Yishen distributed the plan, and then talked to Zhao Miao about the basic requirements of the props.
After the meeting, You Fangfei and Zhao Yongjiang followed Jiang Xia to his office.
"Why are you two coming along?" Jiang Xia asked.
"Jiang Xia, I just want to confirm with you, am I the leading actor?" Zhao Yongjiang glared and asked, "I don't know how to act, what should I be the starring actor?"
"Don't say it, this leading actor, no one can be except you. You let Xu Yishen be the starring role? or white-haired stone? No, let's have a funny skit, you are the most suitable. Jiang Xia said to him.
Let Zhao Yongjiang be the starring role and play Wang Da Hammer, which is also the result of Jiang Xia's consideration.
The most important reason is his appearance, Jiang Xia himself is not suitable, he does not have the dead face of Wang Dazhui, he can perform, but he is definitely not as natural as Zhao Yongjiang.
"Can you change people?" Zhao Yongjiang still frowned.
He is resistant to being an actor in his heart, otherwise, "Young Bao Qingtian" alone can bring him out, not to mention being popular, but his popularity will go up a notch, and then mix it up from this year, and it will be no problem to enter the fourth line within two years. But he is not happy, he is looking for something to do as a host, and he has no thoughts about becoming famous and an actor.
Jiang Xia said: "This is for you to talk nonsense, but the leading actor has changed to someone else, do you think it is appropriate? I can only let you come." ”
"Okay, let's talk about it first, I only act in short films that talk nonsense, and I won't appear in any other dramas. Zhao Yongjiang thought for a while and said helplessly.
He didn't say this to Jiang Xia, but to You Fangfei.
You Fangfei smiled: "Okay, listen to you." Anyway, there is already a disobedient one, and I don't care if there is one more of you. ”
"Hey, why the hell am I here? I'm not like him. Jiang Xia said unhappily.
Zhao Yongjiang shrugged and said: "It's different, you're more painful, I'll go first, go and read the script." ”
When Zhao Yongjiang ran out, You Fangfei spoke: "Why don't you take out this short drama separately? Instead, it will be merged with nonsense? Don't tell me, you don't know that this short drama can be a separate department." ”
Hearing You Fangfei's question, Jiang Xia smiled, "I never expected" and "Nonsense" to merge, in fact, it is not very suitable, in the middle of the talk show, such a short drama is added, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit nondescript.
"It's very simple, in our studio's department, one single piece of nonsense is enough. There is no need to set up a special short film production department, it is too redundant. Nonsense and skits are all small pieces. Our goal is always TV series and albums, and that's our big chunk. Therefore, simply merging the two will save you from continuing to separate propaganda and wasting resources. Jiang Xia explained.
You Fangfei thought for a while, accepted Jiang Xia's explanation, and then asked, "Have you seen Shanshan's new song ranking?
"Oh, I really haven't seen it, you tell me more about it. Jiang Xia asked, he really hadn't paid attention lately. (To be continued.) )
