Chapter 113: First Sight
The outside media has not paid much attention to the subtle changes in the National Theater, and drama is now a serious "sunset cultural industry", and the media is too lazy to deal with it without particularly strong news, and it can't get back to its roots.
But in the theater circle, "Hurricane" did cause an uproar, and even the November issue of the "Drama Newspaper" monthly magazine described it as "a young man who has created a miracle".
"Drama Daily" is the most authoritative monthly magazine in the theater industry in China, and its authoritative source is the "Drama Daily", which is responsible for selecting the Plum Blossom Award, the highest award for theatrical performing arts every two years.
Although the winner of the Plum Blossom Award must be a young and middle-aged actor, Lu Yan is sure that he will not have a chance to win this award, because the original actor of "Hurricane" was Xin Boqing, even if the influence of "Hurricane" is great in the future, he will not be shortlisted.
However, Lu Yan didn't plan to be a drama actor at the beginning, and the reason why he entered this industry was largely because of Chen Baoguo.
Near the end of the month, all the previous controversies about "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" were settled, Zhao Wei played Yao Mulan, and the boiling Chen Kun played Zeng Sunya in the end, but it was finally because the schedule was not in place.
And Lu Yan's silent victory over the role of Zeng Sunya was a shattering glass, although he had been popular for a while with the roles of Murong Fu and Li Tianmin, how many people still remember it now?
Therefore, since the announcement of the main creative team of "Jinghua Yanyun", the controversy in the outside world has not stopped, and the "box office poison" Zhao Wei returned to the small screen after five years of absence from the TV series, can he continue the ratings myth of the year?
Chen Baoguo, Wang Gang, Kou Zhenhai, Pan Hong and other big names are willing to be green leaves, how can Lu Yan take the lead?
These doubts continued to brew, and for a while, Lu Yan's name appeared frequently in major media again, until the launch conference of "Jinghua Yanyun".
The press conference was scheduled for two o'clock in the afternoon, at the Dajue Temple in the capital, Lu Yan and Chen Baoguo were late, not playing big names, and the two rushed to the capital as soon as they finished recording the promotional program of "Blood Romance".
The press conference was held in the temple, and when Lu Yan and Chen Baoguo and Zhao Kui'e arrived, the crew was basically there.
As soon as the three of them got out of the car, they were surrounded by a group of reporters at the door, more precisely, Chen Baoguo, and in the blink of an eye, they were already full of long guns and short cannons.
Chen Baoguo is also experienced for a long time, and said with a smile: "I feel the enthusiasm of all media friends, if it is an interview, there will be more time at the press conference, and I am not in a hurry to do it for a while." ”
If ordinary people say this, the reporter may not necessarily give face, but after Chen Baoguo finished speaking, the reporters immediately made a way and let the three of them pass, but they didn't forget to take pictures, and the doubts in their hearts have also been reduced a lot, Lu Yan and Chen Baoguo and his wife came in the same car, who believes it if you want to say that it doesn't matter?
As soon as the three of them entered, they saw many people coming out, and when they saw the figure wearing a dark green down jacket on the side of Zhang Zien, despite some preparations, Lu Yan's heart still twitched uncontrollably, Zhao Wei.
glanced twice, but was afraid of being noticed by the other party, so he withdrew his gaze a little weakly.
"Teacher Chen, you are the latest to come today" The speaker looked like he was forty or fifty years old, with a Chinese face, big eyes, wrapped in a blue coat, and walked side by side with Zhang Zien in the middle.
Yang Shanpu, the producer and producer of "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", the real number one person in the crew, was also the producer of "The Last Imperial Princess".
Seeing Yang Shanpu and Zhao Wei walking on Zhang Zien's side respectively, Lu Yan immediately understood that he would not ask about the filming of the film.
Behind the three of them, followed by several producers and actors of the crew, it was already winter, and they were all wrapped round.
Chen Baoguo pointed to Lu Yan behind him and said, "What you said is wrong, he is one step later than me." ”
Lu Yan knew that Chen Baoguo was taking care of himself, and said busily: "Hello producer Yang." ”
"Hehe, what kind of producer doesn't make a film, I have an old friendship with Baoguo, just call me Uncle Yang" Yang Shanpu smiled and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Lu Yan called Uncle Yang with a smile, but he secretly slandered himself in his heart, and he felt that Yang Shanpu was a little suspicious of taking advantage of himself.
Talking unintentionally, listening to intentionality, except for Zhang Zien and Yang Shanpu, everyone in the crew did not know the relationship between Lu Yan and Chen Baoguo, and they couldn't help but secretly guess.
waited for Chen Baoguo and Zhao Kui'e to greet a few people for a while, and then it was Lu Yan's turn, because of Yang Shanpu's precedent, Zhang Zien also became an uncle, and he had never cooperated before, and he was older than Chen Baoguo, so he pinched his nose and recognized it.
But when it came to the producer Wang Pengju, Lu Yan was a little embarrassed, in the crew of "The Last Imperial Princess" before, Lu Yan called him his title, and Wang Pengju also helped Li Yapeng put pressure on the crew, and it was impossible to call him uncle.
Yang Shanpu also saw Lu Yan's momentary hesitation, stood on Chen Baoguo's side, and said with a smile: "Why, I haven't seen Teacher Wang Pengju for a while." ”
"How can you, Teacher Wang is good"
Wang Pengju's reaction was very wonderful, he didn't recognize Lu Yan at first, until Lu Yan greeted him, he suddenly remembered that the young man in front of him seemed to have starred in the second male lead in "The Last Imperial Princess", and it was a bit of a festival.
But now it is not as good as at the beginning, he is one of the co-producers in the last imperial concubine crew, even if Teng Wenyi is strong, he has to give him some face, if nothing else, he has money in his hands.
The crew of "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is different, Yang Shanpu picked the big beam, Zhang Zien's qualifications are old, and Chen Baoguo, an actor with a deep official background, has almost no room for him to speak, he naturally sees that Lu Yan obviously has a great relationship with Chen Baoguo, and he obviously knows Yang Shanpu and Zhang Zien's appearance very well, but as a producer, he doesn't know, this situation makes him feel very bad.
After figuring out the joint, Wang Pengju didn't show it, Lu Yan shook his hand and said with a smile: "Do it well." ”
"Hehe, thank you, Mr. Wang"
Yang Shanpu knew something about the festival between the two people, but he wisely chose not to speak at this time, even he didn't expect that Lu Yan, who had joined the crew of "The Last Imperial Princess" by relying on his relationship, would be today, and in any case, Wang Pengju was also one of the producers of the crew.
At present, the level of industrialization and standardization of the domestic film and television industry is very low, just look at the opening of many films and television that looks like an old lady's footcloth, you can see that before the director and the head of the main technical department, a large number of names and titles are hung, and the names are dazzling, not to mention the name of the company, just the title of the person has a lot of titles such as producer, co-producer, producer, producer, executive producer, chief planner, planning, etc.
The concept of producer in Hong Kong originated from the fact that big directors and big-name actors have left large companies to form their own companies, just like the best partners composed of Wang Lu Wenjun and Liu Weiqiang, in the combination of these three, Wen Jun is the screenwriter, Liu Weiqiang is the director, and Wang Lu is the producer, and the three are actually the shareholders of the company and the decision-makers of the project, in fact, they are the producers and producers.
Today's producer in the mainland is equivalent to a lame producer who has stripped the producer of his financial and capital operation functions such as reviewing the budget and controlling the progress of the process, and retained the responsibility of balancing the director's artistic creation and the commercial attributes of the film.
And now the producer is actually the producer in the original Hong Kong film and television system, that is to say, not only to understand creation, but also to understand financial control, business operation, and the most important thing is that he should be the initial initiator of a drama as a commercial project to start operation, in Hollywood, people who can serve as producers generally have their own production companies, and have a certain fixed cooperative relationship with the six major studios, and personally review and participate in the production and monitoring of many films every year. The power of the real producer is second only to the chairman of the studio, far greater than the vast majority of directors and actors, and there is only one producer worthy of the name in China, that is, Zhang Jizhong, who is the assistant of all the supervising directors to him.
It's just that in reality, producers are also not exempt from specialization, except for a few, the overall director-centered system, mainland directors often do not hang the title of producer but do the producer's business, especially big-name directors, who are the bosses of film production and production companies, except that the money is not paid by themselves, and the entire team is built by themselves.
As for the producer, it is an authentic mainland specialty, in fact, it is the legal representative of the investor, for example, if the production has China Film, then Han Sanye is the producer, if a company only invests a small part of the money, it is a joint production, and the legal representative is a joint producer, but the producer generally does not care
。
"Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is another matter, Yang Shanpu's team, the money invested, and the actors pulled can be regarded as a solid producer, in contrast, although Wang Pengju has the name of a producer, his real right to speak has been compressed by several parties.
The screenwriter is still Zhang Yongshen, Lu Yan is more familiar with He, and when he was in the crew of "The Last Imperial Princess" before, he communicated with him a lot because of the drama.
got to know the head of the crew, and then he was an actor, if Lu Yan played a less important role, the introduction could be waived, but now that he is the male number one, this process is a must.
In addition to Chen Baoguo, there are many big names in the crew, Zhao Wei naturally needless to say, the first of the four major flowers in the film and television industry today, but this time he played the role of Tsing Yi.
Wang Gang, Pan Hong, Kou Zhenhai, and Yu Yan can all be said to be well-known actors, old actors.
Introduced by producer Zhao Peng, it is a teacher before and after a teacher, and when he arrived at Zhao Wei, Lu Yan tried his best to be calm, and said: "Hello, my name is Lu Yan, please take care of me in the future." ”
Chen Baoguo was chatting with Yang Shanpu at this time, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head to look at Lu Yan, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
Zhao Wei politely stretched out his hand and shook it with him, and said, "Hello, Zhao Wei", let go of his hand, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, his lips moved, but he caught a glimpse of Chen Baoguo and Zhao Kui'e looking at them with a smile on the side, and swallowed the teasing words on their lips.
