Chapter 153: The Immortal Sword is turned on
Sitting on Zhang Fan's left hand side is Chen Xiaoyi, director of the TV drama department of Jiangnan TV. This is the representative of the partner, and this time Xianjian was able to get the prime time of eight o'clock in the evening on Jiangnan TV thanks to the help of Director Chen.
Whether the TV series is successful or not, the premiere almost occupies an absolute weight. And what time period it is when it premieres is even more important.
If you are in the golden hour, the more people you watch, the better the chance of success. At other times, there are fewer people watching, and the chances of success are reduced. If it is scheduled in the early hours of the morning, the producer would rather not release it than accept it!
This time, being able to win the golden time slot of 8 o'clock in the evening almost means that it is half the battle. As long as it's not of unbearable quality, at least it won't be a loss.
Although this was exchanged for a variety show, helping is helping, which cannot be denied, and Zhang Fan also remembered it. In the future, I will definitely give them an excellent variety show on TV station.
On Zhang Fan's right hand side is the director of the TV series where he once ran the trick, and this time he was invited by Zhang Fan to be the director of the fairy sword crew. The main reason is to continue the filming work of the crew when Zhang Fan is away. Zhang Fan finally knew the name of this artistic director, Xue Kai.
It is said that the world is impermanent, and Xue Kai has personally experienced this.
The last time we met, Zhang Fan was just a dead runner, but now he has become his own boss! At this time, the word brilliant is not enough to describe Zhang Fan's comet-like rise.
This era is changing too fast, and Xue Kai feels that he can't keep up with the pace of the times. Today's young people are so amazing!
On the long stage, there are also two heroines, Lin Yueqing and Tang Yumo, in addition to several important supporting roles and the heads of various departments of the crew. Of course, there is also Chen Guozhong, who bears the title of producer of this drama this time.
After everyone arrived, Zhang Fan nodded slightly to the host to start.
"Friends from the press, the press conference for the launch of the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew starts now!" the host announced that after the start was the speech of the crew.
It's not a speech, but it's just a routine topic. Almost all of the people present are people in the entertainment industry, and they already have a routine for what to say about this kind of scene. It's nothing more than some prospects, some blessings, and some expectations. Then express how happy he is to join the Fairy Sword crew.
The reaction of the reporters was also calm, after all, these are all routines that everyone knows. Any crew is in this mode at this time. It's old-fashioned, but it's a convention.
Wait until all of these procedures are completed. Finally, it was time for the long-awaited on-site question-and-answer session for reporters.
When the host announced the start of the on-site questioning, many reporters raised their arms. From the stage, there was a dense array of arms, like a forest. That's the highlight of the day.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I am a reporter for Observer magazine. I would like to ask Mr. Zhang, what made you decide to invest in a TV series adapted from a game?"
"The reason is simple. Zhang Fan smiled casually, "because this is a very good story." So I wanted to bring it to the screen. ”
"Do you always know that there has never been even a film and television series adapted from a game that can be successful? This is the curse of the film and television industry. Another reporter then stood up and asked.
"Just because you haven't had it before doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. Zhang Fan shook his head: "The so-called spell is used to be broken." ”
"Mr. Zhang is so confident in his play?" another reporter stood up.
"I wouldn't invest if I didn't have faith. Zhang Fan spread his hands, "If you don't have confidence, you won't come here." ”
"Haha~~~" There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
Those actors and crew didn't come to the crew for Zhang Fan's confidence. They came for Zhang Fan's salary and to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that the two heroines of the crew this time, Lin Yueqing and Tang Yumo, were personally determined by you, is that so?" Someone finally asked a more sensitive question, which is also a topic that everyone is concerned about.
"First of all, they are very good actors. There is no doubt about that. Zhang Fan raised his finger "Secondly, all the actors in the crew went through a strict interview and were recommended by several interviewers before making a decision. ”
"May I ask why Mr. Zhang chose Lin Yueqing and Tang Yumo as the heroines, and what is the special reason?" reporters don't care about whether there is a strict interview, they need a scandal to attract readers.
"Because they meet the requirements of the crew. "Zhang Fan is not a junior brother who has just entered the industry now, and he already knows how to speak" As for special reasons..."
Zhang Fan's words attracted everyone's attention, and many reporters and even Lin Yueqing and Tang Yumo couldn't help but look sideways at Zhang Fan, wanting to hear him say what special reason he had.
"They're beautiful. "Zhang Fan spreads his hands", everyone likes to see beautiful girls appear on the screen. ”
"Hahaha~~~" The scene suddenly burst into laughter.
Zhang Fan's words are indeed not wrong, everyone likes to see beautiful girls appear on the screen. Of course, women love to see beautiful boys on screen. The more like a woman, the more men like it.
"Mr. Zhang, may I ask the media in Xiangjiang recently that you are not self-conscious and want to challenge the Cantonese music scene, what do you think about this?"
The host just wanted to say that today is the press conference of the fairy sword crew, don't ask about topics you don't want to close. Zhang Fan had already raised his hand to stop him.
This matter is now so concerned, there is no need for Zhang Fan to avoid it.
"I've always believed in the saying that music knows no borders. Zhang Fan put his hands together on the table in front of him, "Xiangjiang is still our own people." Cantonese songs are also a category of Chinese music that can be sung by anyone. As for whether it can be sung well, it depends on the audience's reaction. It's not the media or some experts or some senior musicians. ”
'Wow~~~' The reporters at the scene instantly became excited. Zhang Fan finally fought back! This fierce rhetoric is simply tailor-made for these media outlets, and they don't need to be modified to just use it!
The flash lights at the scene flashed violently again, and Zhang Fan, who was calm, slapped again and again.
"Mr. Zhang, are you challenging the music industry in Xiangjiang?" asked the reporter from Jiulang.com with an excited face.
"There was no challenge. Zhang Fan responded with a smile, "My music is for fans, as long as everyone likes it." ”
After a pause, Zhang Fan chuckled, "Today is the press conference of the Fairy Sword crew, please don't ask questions if you don't want to close." ”
The reporter below was speechless for a while, and after you finished what you wanted to say, it was over without letting us ask questions?
The next reporters' questions were very calm, and they basically responded to the things asked by the crew. Asking about other things is as if you didn't hear it. No matter how depressed the reporters were, they had no choice but to turn their attention to others.
On the whole, this press conference was a success, a complete and meaningful press conference, and one that satisfied the broad masses of the people.
After the host announced the end of the press conference, everyone did not leave immediately, but held a start-up ceremony.
It's not a religious ceremony, it's a ritual to send a red envelope to the God of Wealth to ask for blessing from the ratings fire. After everyone lined up to give the God of Wealth a red envelope, the start-up ceremony was considered a successful completion.
The whole crew went to the film and television city to officially start the filming of the TV series.
Because it is broadcast at the same time, it is necessary to shoot a few episodes before the official broadcast.
Although Xue Kai is the director, Zhang Fan directly took over the entire crew. Therefore, the filming and even the actors' positions were all handled by Zhang Fan. There is no way, who let the whole process of the whole drama be in Zhang Fan's mind. And Xue Kai has completely become a miscellaneous assistant director.
I told Xue Kai about this matter before, and Xue Kai also agreed.
After all, Xue Kai is just an advertising director, although he had the opportunity to direct a TV series before, but he did not follow up because he was boycotted. As long as you are a director, there is no one who does not want to enter the film and television industry. Because the film and television industry is the ultimate pursuit of directors.
In order to get a chance, Xue Kai pinched his nose and agreed to this matter even if he was unwilling in his heart. Become the actual deputy of the titular director.
Xue Kai didn't think that Zhang Fan didn't have that ability at all, or it wouldn't be long before he ran into trouble and couldn't solve it, and finally the director's power would return to his own hands. However, when he saw Zhang Fanru commanding various departments in place at the scene, and the director's work was even better than his own, his heart instantly cooled.
There's no way around it.
Not only Xue Kai, but the entire crew felt incredible about Zhang Fan's direct command. Being a director is not an easy task, and you need not only professional knowledge but also on-site experience.
But Zhang Fan had never heard of being a director before, but he did a very good job, just like a veteran who has filmed many works. That's pretty impressive.
"When did you learn to be a director?" Lin Yueqing, who had changed into a moon-white dress, looked at Zhang Fan with a strange expression, as if Zhang Fan was some kind of monster.
Zhang Fan is so young, he can still explain it with talent when he writes songs for variety shows. But being a director requires experience, where did Zhang Fan get his experience?
"I've done so many variety shows before, just watch it. Zhang Fan naturally wouldn't tell her that she had the whole process of the whole drama in her mind, and this kind of thing really couldn't be said to be killed. If you say it, you may be sent to the lab for sectioning!
"You're a genius. Except for this explanation, Lin Yueqing didn't know what to say.
"Well, I know I'm a genius. Don't tell me every day. Zhang Fan shook his neck with a smile and walked towards the shooting site, "I'm going to start working." ”
In the first scene of the first scene of the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew, Li Xiaoyao officially appeared at the inn!
