Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, conference room on the second floor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Nian and others sat on one side, Bai Yiji and two assistants sat on the other side, just now the two sides have signed the acquisition agreement and the VAM agreement, and the two Tencent Pictures staff who have just flown from Shenzhen are responsible for supervising the implementation of this VAM agreement.

The bank card with a million funds has been placed on the table, pick it up, and that means the game has officially begun.

The conference room was quiet, and everyone had two books in their hands, one was the original novel of "The First Chaos in History", and the other was the script of the first three episodes of the web series "The First Chaos in History", all of which were written by the original author Zhang Xiaohua.

"Wonderful, so wonderful!"

Lao Liu put down the book, was amazed, and was very satisfied with the script written by the author himself.

"The role of this old man, I'm decided!"

Lao Zhao put down the script and said without hesitation, as soon as his words came out, Lao Liu and Lao Wan showed annoyed looks.

"Everyone has watched it, let's talk about it, we are planning to shoot this web series, what is lacking?"

Lao Liu saw that Lao Zhao had a resolute expression, and had no intention of giving in, so he had to close the script, look around, and think.

"Director! We lack a director, we don't have a suitable director, and I'm afraid that such a good script will be smashed in our hands! Old Chen said.

"I think the editor is also what we lack, a good editor can avoid hard switching of shots, making the picture smoother and more ......natural," Guo Hongjun frowned.

"This web series, to me, is similar to a new form of sitcom, the fixed filming location should be fixed, except for the protagonist and his girlfriend and the mysterious old man, other characters appear, at most three episodes. But there are too many famous people involved in this, Qin Shihuang, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu...... These are famous historical figures, the Cowherd, the Agarwood, the Dragon King of the West Sea...... These are famous mythological figures. Although this novel was originally written with the purpose of spoofing, but when it was changed to an online drama, the biggest attraction in it is the dramatic collision between these historical and mythological characters and the real world after they appear...... Therefore, the difficulty in the filming of this drama lies in the selection of actors! ”

Tang Nian's words reached the key point.

"The problem of actors is actually not the most difficult part, don't forget, I am the leader of the group, I can find any kind of actor I want, of course, the acting skills have to be considered...... Actually, my main concern is the clothes and makeup! ”

Lao Liu is very interested in this online drama that is very likely to be famous in Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop.

"Uncle Liu's mention is very critical, we all know that the expenses of a crew, in addition to the remuneration of the actors, are mainly the rent of costumes and props, as well as the accommodation of the personnel.

Song Linyong obviously also paid attention to this place, he looked at the bank card with a million amount on the table, and did not have too many emotional fluctuations.

One million funds seems like a lot, but once the crew is officially established and enters the filming state, this million can't even last for half a month, and it's just daily consumption, not including the cost of post-processing.

"Actually, if you really look at these problems, there is nothing that cannot be solved, after all...... We are in Hengdu Film and Television City, and everything here is familiar to us. For example, in terms of clothing rental, I think Xiao Guo should know some, but the relationship is not familiar! ”

"Yes, I do know a few merchants who specialize in renting out costumes and props, but I don't know each other...... Of course, if the price is right, everything is not a problem! ”

Guo Hongjun nodded.

"So, let's sort it out, the actors, the director, the post-production, the costumes, the props...... Let's talk about actors first, what do you think about this aspect? ”

Lao Liu immediately took out the core issues that everyone was most concerned about.

"I'll start with that!"

Lao Chen took the initiative to speak, ignoring the somewhat surprised gazes of several people, and said: "Everyone has selfish intentions, since this is the opportunity given to us by Mr. Bai, I think that the priority of this drama is the actors of Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, and then some of the people who are familiar to everyone, I really can't find a suitable one, jumping from the thousands of extras in Hengdu Film and Television City." Brother Liu can use the name of the group leader to contact several other group leaders first, and do a good job of preparing actors in advance. My temporary idea is that Tang Nian plays the leading role, which is beyond doubt, because this character who runs through the whole play still has to choose good acting skills, after all, it will be embarrassing to connect with those historical and mythological figures. Heroine, I have been weighing between Alan and Ah Xiang for a long time, and I still recommend Zhang Lan to play! ”

"The reason, although in the original novel and script, it is said that the heroine is a devil-faced angel figure, but we don't have to be dead on this, Zhang Lan's ever-changing temperament is actually a highlight. My concern is that if Zhang Lan can play this role well, if she becomes a vase, it will lose her meaning. Li Xiang, I just flipped through the original novel, and found that in the middle of the game, the role of a female assassin created by the original author was very suitable for her, occupying a certain amount of space, and the performance was also very good! ”

"Since Lao Zhao recommended himself, then I studied the characteristics of the mysterious old man, and Lao Zhao's appearance is quite consistent. As for the rest, Yang Hong can play a role like Xiang Yu, and Xiao Song can also start from this aspect......"

"Since it is a novel sitcom theme, we can expand it appropriately, expand our brains, and those characters can attract more attention, so we will let those characters appear, not limited to some characters in the original novel, basically each character is interspersed with three or five episodes of scenes, which is quite appropriate. After all, it's an online drama, we can actually make it a serialized web drama, it doesn't have to be filmed in one go, it is filmed at the rhythm of one episode a week, and the script of each episode is carefully polished......"

Because of Lao Chen's current neutral status, everyone agrees with his words, and Zhang Lan wanted to excuse herself several times, but was later grabbed by Li Xiang to show support, and finally maintained her acquiescence.

"Lao Chen's words, I agree! This is a sitcom, for me, there are many opportunities, if you can, it will not be a problem to make a cameo appearance in three or five roles! So, do you have any good advice for directors? Lao Liu said.

"I think there is a good candidate, and that is the bald old man!" Tang Nian recommended.

"Lao Wan? The old Wan who specializes in filming anti-Japanese dramas? Isn't it inappropriate? Lao Wan touched his chin, not very supportive.

"In fact, this kind of sitcom with a novel theme can be filmed in what style, everyone is not sure, if we find a director whose style has been fixed, we may not be able to achieve the effect we want. If you talk about the bald old man, then there is no such problem. First of all, he has shot a lot of TV series, and he has a good control of the camera, and he can often shoot the effect he wants. There was an anti-Japanese drama a few years ago, and its funniness swept the entire Internet, in fact, Lao Wan has a unique view of the camera, and in the face of the actor's performance, he can also adjust it very well, his directing style is not fixed, but random and changeable. And this is exactly what we want, all the unknowns can actually stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for creation......"

"I agree with Xiao Tang's opinion, a director who is good at self-adjustment must be a director who can listen to opinions, for a good shot, they can take all the measures they can take, I appreciate it!"

"Agreed!"

After listening to Tang Nian's introduction, everyone nodded one after another, and it was determined that the bald Lao Wan was the director of "The First Chaos in History".

"What about the later stage, do you know some people who are better at the later stage? Shooting is shooting, and the later stage is also crucial......" Yang Hong reminded everyone along the lines of thought.

"Late ...... Editor ...... Background music...... Dub...... It's a real problem......"

Involuntarily, Tang Nian looked at Bai Yijiao, who was sitting upright and not speaking.

"Don't look at me, Tencent Pictures has just opened, and my little brother Ma lacks everything except money...... If you can build a strong post-production team through this independent production, I will consider making an acquisition! ”

Bai Yiji sat there, waved his hand and said, looking like a typical nouveau riche.

"That's it, let's put it in the later stage, look for it during the preparation of the crew, run in more, I believe there will be suitable talents to be discovered by us!"

Lao Liu summed it up and continued: "Since the problems have been listed one by one, and the direction of solution is also available, then...... Let's split up now, I'll be in charge of the extras...... Well, Ah Tang, you can talk to those young actors you know and let them participate in it, I think they listen to those who love acting, maybe they will be brilliant in this online drama. Lao Wan, Xiao Guo and Li Xiang, who are responsible for contacting props and costumes, it is best to summarize a list of props and costumes used in the premise shooting, and talk about it in terms of total amount, which should be able to suppress the price...... Lao Zhao, you take Yang Hong and Zhang Lan to choose some shooting locations in advance, and you want the kind of ...... that meets the characteristics described in the script, and it is best to find them in Hengdu Film and Television City."

"What about me?" Song Linyong saw that Lao Liu didn't mention his name, and asked impatiently.

"You? Lao Chen, you take Xiao Song to draft a confidentiality agreement and a filming agreement for the crew...... Well, let's arrange it this way for now, let's try to set up the crew within a week! ”

"Let's get moving!"

Lao Liu saw that Bai Yiyi still didn't mean to speak, so he nodded at Tang Nian, and everyone got up and started to get busy.

"How many points can you score? For this showhouse? ”

The entire conference room quickly emptied, and Bai Yiji asked softly.

"Five points, barely at the passing line, if they can really build the crew, I will increase the rating, at least two points......"

An assistant on the right took out some things that he had just written and drawn in the notebook and handed them to Bai Yiji.

"Tang year, 1 point; Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, 1 point; Ideas, 0.5 points......"

A total of eight options, Tang Nian alone scored one point, the performing arts workshop as a whole scored one point, and the other six items each scored 0.5 points for a total of three points, an evaluation that just reached the standard line of Tencent Pictures' acquisition of studios.

……

"Hello? Is it Ah Wa? I'm Tang Nian, and I have a play here, which is an online drama...... Well, I'm the starring role, this play is a sitcom, under normal circumstances, as long as the role is suitable, there are three to five episodes of scenes, if you think it's appropriate, you can tell Nianshan and them, come over to Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop tomorrow, let's talk, if it's appropriate, let's sign a contract to make a big news together......"

Tang Nian left the performing arts workshop, and went straight to the living area where the bald Lao Wan was located, and after informing Ah Hua of them on the phone, he thought about how to persuade the bald Lao Wan to give up the anti-Japanese drama in his hand and play a big ticket with himself.

……

"Lao Guo, it's me, Lao Liu, I have a play in my hand, an online drama...... Group actors must be, but they also need to act, it's okay to play tricks, and it's not impossible to play an important role...... Okay, you call them all and let's talk! ”

Lao Liu drove his van and dialed a few old rivals.

……

"Let's go to the vicinity of Qin and Han City first, where there is a fixed point for temporary rental of costumes and props, first learn the price from there, and then we will come back to calculate and make a list ......"

Lao Wan, Xiao Guo and Li Xiang got into another car in the performing arts workshop and started the action.

……

In late March, a week has passed since the preparatory meeting for "The First Chaos in History", which lasted half a month, and the crew was finally set up.

In a certain area of Hengdu Film and Television City, a red banner was hung in the air, "The opening ceremony of the crew of "The First Chaos in History"! ”

Under the banner, there is an incense burner, on which three thick incense sticks are burned, Bai Yifang everyone clasped their hands together, followed by the bald Lao Wan standing in the front, with a solemn expression, slowly bowing.

"Wish: "The First Chaos in History" is off well!"

"The first scene of "The First Chaos in History": Encounter with a mysterious old man, the first shot, begin!"

In the sound of the staff's boarding, "The First Chaos in History" officially started filming.
