"Rogue Tycoon" is going to be played in advance
"What is the matter with that queen looking for me?" received a notice from producer Qiu Jiaxiong in the crew, Cheng Weiliang couldn't guess for a while whether she was looking for herself to discuss the start of filming of "Meteor Garden", or about "Happy Chang'an", which was about to be cut in half due to the low ratings of "Rogue Tycoon" in advance?
Since the opening ceremony on the 18th of last month, "Rogue Tycoon" has been filming for more than half a month, and Cheng Weiliang has hung the name of screenwriter and assistant choreographer in it.
Assistant choreographer, which is almost the meaning of assistant director, although the name is good, it is actually to help the director do all kinds of chores in the crew, but this position can better train young people who are interested in serving as directors and producers in the future.
There are multiple assistants in a crew, and producer Qiu Jiaxiong did not allocate much work to Cheng Weiliang, only kept him in the crew, which is regarded as an internship.
Let him sing a behind-the-scenes working group, all for the sake of his screenwriter and Fang Yihua's care. At the beginning, they were all crew members who had worked together in TVB for many years, and at the opening ceremony, they found a young man with a fresh face, who was said to be the screenwriter of the show, and he was also a popular singer who became famous in one fell swoop not long after coming to Xiangjiang from the mainland, everyone was a little curious and puzzled. Later, when I saw the reporters invited by the crew, after responding to the procedures one by one, they swarmed around Weng Meiling and Cheng Weiliang, as if it was not enough to interview at the gate for a few minutes before! The limelight of the start-up ceremony was stolen by these two newcomers!
After that, Cheng Weiliang was invisibly boycotted by some of the actors and behind-the-scenes personnel in the crew, intentionally or unintentionally, only the male number two Wu Qihua, who played the villain's younger brother, got close to him, because Cheng Weiliang was inadvertently nominated when he handed in the script, and Wu Qihua, a student of the 12th phase of the artist training class who was still in the internship period, was lucky to get this opportunity.
Weng Meiling is better than him, but from time to time she is talked about behind the backs of those actresses, saying that she is a suddenly popular Miss Hong Kong, and has robbed the heroine position of Zheng Yuling, a Dudu sister who was born in a professional class and has been popular for many years.
Cheng Weiliang has been running between Polygram and the crew these days, and he can't stay in the crew all the time. However, when he was in the crew, he was serious about everything the producer explained. After finishing his own work, he followed other assistant choreographers and assisted them in other tasks, such as going out to contact the location, such as going to the props warehouse to choose the costumes and props to be used for the next day's filming, etc. Gradually, people found that he, a big singer, didn't have many shelves, and he didn't stay in the house on a hot day to blow the air conditioner, and was willing to run around with ordinary crew members like them. Slowly, they felt that it was no longer interesting to boycott him, and the actors and crew began to talk and laugh with him.
However, in the past two days, some hidden rumors have begun to circulate in the crew, saying that the company will recruit a group of experienced directors, assistant directors, photographers and other personnel to form a crew team to assist Cheng Weiliang in filming a campus drama. The play was invested by Polygram Records, and Cheng Weiliang served as the director and director.
Suddenly, people remembered an article in the "Oriental Daily" more than half a month ago, which didn't mention this incident? Unfortunately, at that time, readers were all laughing and laughing, and not many people believed it. Now there are bits and pieces of news coming out from different channels of the company, and this time it seems to be somewhat authentic!
Some people in the crew began to feel that Cheng Weiliang, who was no different from them, was separated from them a few mountains again. At his age, who has only been in Xiangjiang for a few months, can actually be a choreographer and director? It is good to have money and a company to support him! In a few months, he can complete a process that they may not be able to complete in years or decades!
In the past two days, many people who can usually speak a few words have begun to alienate him again!
For some people's practices, Cheng Weiliang didn't pay too much attention to it, just continue to do his own thing.
When you are still in their sight, they will be jealous of you and exclude you, and when you are far beyond their reach, they will only look up to you, worship you, and obey you!
"Producer Qiu, this is today's shooting schedule. An assistant handed Qiu Jiaxiong today's form.
Qiu Jiaxiong looked at it and frowned. Now it has been determined that the day after tomorrow, that is, on August 8th, "Happy Chang'an" will be cut in half, and after discussion between the senior management and Fang Yihua, it was decided that "Rogue Tycoon", which has completed 8 episodes, will take over the file to recover the losses caused by the sluggish ratings of "Happy Chang'an" after the ultra-high ratings of more than 95% of the third part of "Condor Shooting". With Weng Meiling's current popularity, plus the semi-finished products that were urgently edited after watching a few episodes, most of the high-level executives are optimistic about the ratings of this show.
Now all the filmed scenes are used to work overtime for post-production such as soundtracks, sound effects, and subtitles. And now that he is filming, Fang Yihua also asked him to continue to speed up the progress, and to complete one episode from the previous two or three days to one episode a day! In the past two days, overtime has been started, but the efficiency of each staff is not as good as before. I filmed a day today, and I didn't finish a third of the episodes!
"Yiyi, tonight's scene will be filmed by you. The progress is not good during the day, and it must be accelerated at night. Qiu Jiaxiong found the choreographer Qi Qiyi and commanded in a low voice.
Then, he clapped his hands and motioned to everyone at the scene to look over, "I started working overtime yesterday, and I know everyone has worked hard! But I tell you, the hard work is worth it." We were selected for several dramas filmed at the same time, which is the glory of our crew! It also shows that the ratings of our drama will definitely be popular! Actors, wait for advertisers to come to the door! Other guys, the bonus is also indispensable to you! So, please cheer up!"
After a pause, he continued, "Okay, let's stop what we're doing and go to dinner first." After eating, rest for half an hour before starting. In the evening, I also ordered a restaurant supper for everyone. ”
The crew, whether they are celebrities or ordinary staff, have been working for a long time in a row, and they are all a little hungry, and they all cheered and shouted when they heard that there was still half an hour of rest today.
……
"Wei Liang, get ready, change your clothes, we'll be over in half an hour! Manager Fang doesn't like people to be late. "Producer Qiu Jiaxiong, who had been away from the studio for a while, walked in, and it was a little strange that so many people were gathered around Cheng Weiliang.
When Cheng Weiliang worked in the photography studio, he wore an ordinary T-shirt, and he was full of sweat all day. When he went out to see Fang Yihua, he naturally wanted to take a shower and change back into his expensive, hand-customized black slim suit.
"Okay, I'll go. Everyone, let's miss me for a while!" The former Jiashi Broadcasting Building, which was acquired by TVB and used as a filming location for the indoor scenes of fashion dramas, has a simple shower room where he can take a shower and change clothes.
After Cheng Weiliang left, the people behind him whispered.
"What's the boss looking for him?" asked a slightly curious crew helper.
"I guess, those news are true, don't you see that he even wrote so many songs?" a young actor felt that his guess was very reliable.
"Is it possible? Doesn't it mean that he handed over two scripts at that time, and the sixth uncle was only willing to accept "Rogue Tycoon"? What kind of "Meteor Garden" was killed at all! "The drama is to run around and be well-informed.
"You're all behind in the news, he's so good at singing, and so good at writing songs. Polygram is vigorously praising him, and people have decided to fund the filming of the drama for him alone. "An assistant choreographer with a bit of seniority disdains these gossip guys.
"I heard that he wants to be a director and director himself. If this news is true, oh my god! Is there still a reason? How long has he been in Xiangjiang, even if he has been with the crew for a while, can he just watch from the sidelines, and when he is filming by himself, he will automatically know how to film? Could it be that he is as talented as writing songs? I don't believe it! He should go back and write his songs obediently, such a difficult and complicated thing as filming cannot be done by patting his head!" A chubby middle-aged actor who has been acting for many years, combined with his many years of experience, feels that this news is too unreliable.
"Do you dare to make a bet? I'll start filming in a month. People have a lot of money, they don't know how to shoot and study, and they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to shoot a TV series to promote songs, and if they lose money, they will be regarded as TV promotion. What's the use of you analyzing and analyzing, or is it that the internal information channel is well-informed!"
The choreographer Qi Qiyi saw that these people were getting more and more energetic the more they talked, and it was not good not to come forward, he walked up to them, coughed heavily, and scolded: "I have energy to eat and eat, right?
And immediately the people who were gathered together were scattered.
When Cheng Weiliang freshened up, changed his clothes and returned to the studio, producer Qiu Jiaxiong was already waiting there.
"Come, let's go. Qiu Jiaxiong also changed his clothes, called Cheng Weiliang and walked out.
A high-quality, well-tailored custom suit, so that the colleagues who are usually used to seeing Cheng Weiliang wearing casual T-shirts suddenly feel that this young man also has the style of a successful person, and his bearing is extraordinary!
In the TVB reception room, the secretary informed Fang Yihua that he was still dealing with one thing and asked him to wait.
"Wei Liang, Manager Fang may talk to you about preparing for "Meteor Garden" this time, do you and Polygram have any candidates in mind for the male and female protagonists and supporting roles in this play?" Qiu Jiaxiong held a cigarette between his fingers and asked Cheng Weiliang while spitting out circles.
"There are some candidates, but they still need to be interviewed to be sure. Cheng Weiliang sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea.
Qiu Jiaxiong looked at the unhurried young man opposite, and sighed in his heart. A hero is a teenager, if he is the age of the other party, he will hear that he is about to become the director or producer of a film, he must be so excited that he can't sleep, how can he be so calm!
When he first heard from Fang Yihua that a young singer who had just become famous wanted to direct a full-length campus TV series himself, and asked him to propose some crew candidates, he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears?
Later, I heard that this singer was the author of the script of "Rogue Tycoon" that he was going to direct, and I had a better impression of him. Talented singers, since they can write such an excellent script, are obviously more interested in this line of work. Young juniors, although they think about filming too simply, it is not unacceptable for talented people to have a little ambition. When he tries and heels, he will be able to keep his feet on the ground.
When filming on the set, I saw him being isolated and excluded by some people below from time to time, but he didn't take out the singer frame and lose his temper. Once I saw him secretly fiddling with the camera, very professional, it can be seen that he really likes filming. It's not the kind of floating boy who runs the train with a little money and a little talent, and is hot for three minutes!
This young man's down-to-earth appearance on the set made Qiu Jiaxiong have the idea of accepting him as an apprentice for the first time.
"Wei Liang, filming is a very complex and professional thing, many people start from the bottom, and only after ten or twenty years of accumulated experience can they achieve final success. Those college students majoring in film and television have also gone through several years of systematic professional study. He was careful not to irritate the young man's self-esteem.
Qiu Jiaxiong didn't know what Polygram Company was thinking, so he actually took hundreds of thousands of dollars out for Cheng Weiliang to test. To be careful, does Polygram wish that Cheng Weiliang failed in the first attempt to enter the film and television industry, so that he can only return to the music industry and concentrate on Polygram.
To be honest, Cheng Weiliang filmed for the first time, and he directly became a director and director, and he was not very optimistic. More than 90% of the probability of failure, when the time comes, the filming will fail, and the overwhelming criticism and ridicule of the media may ruin the acting career of this young man with ideas.
He glanced at Cheng Weiliang and continued to organize the wording, "If you like filming, have you ever thought of finding an experienced director to take you, starting with drama management, scene notes, assistant directors, etc., or first go to the behind-the-scenes production class in the artist training class to study for a period of time?
Cheng Weiliang was listening carefully, he knew that Qiu Jiaxiong was right, and it was the most correct way to speak to ordinary people. He knows that if he fails, some people in the Xiangjiang media and the film and television industry will definitely not let go of the opportunity to step on him.
However, how can I say it, he is a student who has attended a regular college directing major, and he is an old oilman who has been in the crew for several years! He is a time-traveler from the future! He is not an ordinary person!
Therefore, Cheng Weiliang is very grateful for the advice of this senior in the film and television industry who has been with him for more than half a month, but he can only understand it.
From the previous life, to this life, he didn't want to wait any longer!
"Producer Qiu, thank you for your advice! But I want to say that I won't give them a chance to laugh at me!" Cheng Weiliang said seriously, sincerely, and firmly.
Qiu Jiaxiong saw an indomitable momentum in his eyes! )
