Chapter 758: Director and Producer
Suddenly, there were only three people left in the lively living room of the Song Mansion, and it was a little cold for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as Li Ruofan wanted to say goodbye, he saw a woman come over and smile at Song Yunting: "The old lady said that she was going to listen to Cheng Yanqiu's new play and will not come back." ”
Song Yunting was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Then prepare four people for dinner, let people go to Yanjing and take Li Ruoyun over." ”
Li Ruofan smiled: "I forgot to talk to my family, but it's okay." It is estimated that Fang Shuirou will arrive later, maybe I won't get off the train when I go back. Try the private dishes of the Song Mansion today. ”
Song Yunting said: "My family is not very particular about eating, and if there are many guests, it is either a hotel or a restaurant directly to bring it in a food box." It's still early, so you have to talk about the character and the director. ”
Lan Yuxuan also smiled: "Yes, I'm still confused now!"
Although Li Ruofan is from 2016, he doesn't know what the director really wants to do. But in his mind, the director is like a big butler. And the leading actor is like the old lady in the house, in other words, no matter what director is lacking in the family, he must have foresight, and he can't wait for the master to ask three questions.
Of course, there is no director in this era, more like a green leaf-like team, serving the starring red flower together. Even a great talent like Qi Rushan takes the initiative to place himself in a subordinate position psychologically. It wasn't until I came into contact with Western theater in Treasure Island that I had a full theoretical understanding of my own positioning. In the later period, he mainly wrote books and theories.
Hearing Li Ruofan's analogy, Song Yunting and Lan Yuxuan both found it interesting. They don't think that Li Ruofan is fooling, but they also think that Li Ruofan is afraid that they will come into contact with new things and talk about it so easily.
Strictly speaking, a drama requires the cooperation of dozens of positions such as producer, art director, producer, screenwriter, translator, director, stage design, lighting design, costume design, sound design, makeup design, technical design, stage manager, co-ordination, publicity, drama, scene note, lighting, costumes, props, effects, makeup, art, and installation.
It's just that Li Ruofan feels that his head is big, but fortunately, he has watched many movies and dramas, which will be typed on the screen or printed on the manual.
Lan Yuxuan stammered a little and said, "Then isn't my director just a very inconspicuous position?"
Speaking from the heart, now Li Ruofan is even taller in the hearts of Lan Yuxuan and Song Yunting than Gu Hongming, who is like a demon who can speak seven foreign languages.
Because of the positions that came out of Li Ruofan's mouth, they basically couldn't understand them. Of course, Li Ruofan basically doesn't understand, after all, this is a cast and crew form that has been finalized after hundreds of years of running-in!
It's not that Song Yunting hasn't been exposed to drama, she knows about Nanguo Society, and she has never heard of so many new terms when arranging a drama! The starring role is king, and there is basically nothing to do with the playwright after the script is written.
Of course, it is also a great burden for the troupe to set up so many positions. From extensive to refined division of labor, to put it bluntly, real money is needed. There is also the most critical change in concept, the director is king instead of the actor is king!
Lan Yuxuan was a little speechless, and paused for a while before saying, "How many people do you have to hire here?"
Li Ruofan said with a smile: "This is an outline, first standardize, and then have a specialization in the art industry, each performing its own duties, you can do it handily as a director, otherwise you will be annoyed by the beard and eyebrows." Of course, I was the producer, and I was also the producer and art director for the time being. The latter ones are all under the management of the director. This translation is actually a script written by a foreigner or a foreign novel adapted into a script, which needs to be translated. There are also actors who need to communicate with foreigners in case they have them. ”
Song Yunting was a little curious: "What do the producers and art directors do?"
Li Ruofan said with a smile: "To put it simply, the producer is the director's opponent, the financial expenditure of the whole drama, the director's artistic creation, the rehearsal of the drama, the completion of the production, and the staging of these progresses; logistics support and general budget, in short, is no less than an important position of the director." Artistic directors generally hire respected seniors to take charge of the artistic effects of the whole play. ”
Song Yunting smiled: "Then I'll learn to be a producer with you, but I don't see any contradictions." ”
Li Ruofan said with a smile: "The highest level of the director is to export the stage effect that is most in line with his ideal, and it is perfect." He is not responsible for budgeting expenses and schedules. The executive producer has to find a balance between the two, with the same goal but different approaches. ”
Lan Yuxuan scolded in his heart, isn't it just a check and balance? Why do you have to say it so nicely.
But Lan Yuxuan admired Song Yunting's wisdom a little, if you really want to talk about it, in fact, it is still the power of the producer, and it is simply the management of Li Ruofan's money bag.
Li Ruofan said: "Actually, I'm for your good, it's okay to play a few roles with tickets occasionally, and it is estimated that your family will be the first to disagree when you really go to the sea." However, if you really want to do a good job as a director and producer, and slowly let the director be the king, you will not forget the names of the two pioneers in the history of Chinese directors in the future. ”
Lan Yuxuan had already taken a pen and written down the series of positions that Li Ruofan said, and when he heard Li Ruofan say this, he was a little puzzled: "But aren't these all yours? ”
Although it is possible to become the first director in China, Lan Yuxuan is still very sober. To say that for thousands of years, Chinese can really not seek fame and fortune. Virtue and meritorious service, no one can escape these three stands. Why did Li Ruofan give himself this indiscriminate accusation that would almost inevitably leave a mark in history?
Lan Yuxuan hasn't felt good about himself yet. It's just that she doesn't understand, Li Ruofan doesn't care about these at all, he thinks he won't be in this era for long. Although in this era, there are Song Yunting and Lan Yuxuan, who have the same name and the same appearance as 2016.
Li Ruofan said: "I just gave a name, but the specific thing is that you need to practice your true knowledge and be able to really become a qualified director." I'm busy making money, and if I lose the bet with Shi Shuyun, I'm going to go back to Jinling. ”
Song Yunting smiled: "Don't worry, you won't lose." But?"
Song Yunting just finished speaking, but she thought of one thing, and she couldn't help but be a little worried. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and now that Li Ruofan's "Thunderstorm" script has been taken out, it would be just average. Of course, Ouyang Shutong took it to Zheng Zhenduo and Zhou Zuoren to read, and it is estimated that it will appear in the next issue of the publication. Plagiarism is unlikely, and Nanguo Society can't afford to lose that person.
But it's not a good thing that the hole cards are revealed so early. Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and what I am most afraid of is the villain's means.
