"First time?" Li Xiaole asked Li Duohai with a smile.

"Yes." Li Duohai looked at the past and found that these groups of different sizes in the grassland all have a common feature, that is, each group is propped up with a folding cross in front of it, and its own propaganda posters are hung, and various new recruitment information is printed on the posters.

"The crew of "Red Bean Girl's Love" recruits 2 set designers and 1 assistant director" "The crew of "Miss Mermaid" recruits soundtrack engineers and radio engineers. ""The crew of "Home and Everything" recruits collaborative screenwriters" and "The program "Korean Night Talk" recruits dialogue scriptwriters. ”

And behind the poster, there are familiar faces, Jang Nara, Kim Ha Na, Han Jae Suk, Jang Hyuk...... These well-known actors were all following the agent, talking about something with the TV crew, and asked Li Xiaole in surprise: "Director, what are you doing here?" Why are there so many crews here? ”

"This is the so-called 'TV drama supermarket'?" Li Xiaole explained: "The Broadcasting Bureau is a gathering place for low-level TV people except for the three major TV stations, where you can find all the people who shoot a TV series from top to bottom, of course, except for those big stars." ”

Before facing the TV station, Korean TV dramas need manpower, equipment, and funds in order to shoot a pilot short film.

The update speed is fast, Baidu search daomengren can find this site. All of these can be provided by radio dramas, so the quality of the pilot short films is very strict with radio dramas.

This also led to the very rigorous preparation of each crew in the preparation stage, especially the script and pilot short film showing the overall style of the series, which must be tempered.

The crews seen here in the Broadcasting Bureau are all in the planning stage of the pre-pilot film, and this stage usually lasts for half a year to two years.

In addition to these preparatory crews, Li Xiaole saw more people in the middle of the grass, those who hung the screenwriter's yellow number, they read similar lines aloud, some of their voices were passionate, some were affectionate, and from time to time they were listening to the sound of clapping their hands and calling haode.

These people are doing intensive training in TV editing lines and texts, and all screenwriters are pursuing a character dialogue called "famous lines", and they hope that their scripts can resonate with others and move others, so many people will read it out in front of others and ask each other how they feel to revise it.

Li Xiaole wanted to select potential crew members here, but he felt that he had no way to start, and looked at a colleague passing by with a "labor prisoner" hairstyle and a yellow screenwriter's name tag, walking with a smile and looking more easy-going, so he stopped him and asked:

"Big brother, please ask, where can I find the directory of the members of the Writers Association of the Broadcasting Bureau?"

"Oh, there's a billboard over there." The first generous face of the "labor prisoner" is black and fat, but his teeth are unusually white, and when he laughs, people unconsciously focus their attention on his pair of big teeth.

"You...... Is it Li Xiaole? The thirty-year-old toothtoothed companion looked at him for a long time, seemed to recognize him, and exclaimed.

"What did you say?" Li Xiaole shook his head, wanting to pretend to be stupid and hide it.

But the toothy man was a clever man, he smiled and became more enthusiastic, and pulled him affectionately: "Don't pretend, Director Li, I've seen your "Night Heart", I'm so handsome than the photos on TV, Director Li~ You just came, come and I'll introduce you to the situation here." ”

"Big brother, I actually want to know how to find the list of personnel of the broadcasting bureau here." Li Xiaole spat at himself at close range for the enthusiasm of the toothy man, and could only smile bitterly.

"Oh, then you should listen to my introduction, let me introduce myself first, my name is Choi Dongxun, I graduated from the Film Art Research Institute, and I have been in the Broadcasting Bureau for 7 years."

Cui Dongxun had a kind smile on his face, and stretched out his hand very familiarly, this is the etiquette of friendship with friends, Li Xiaole saw that he didn't put his predecessors on the shelf, so he shook his hand: "Hello Brother Cui." ”

"Xiaole~ Let me tell you, don't think that you think that the TV industry is so mixed up after you make a movie, let me tell you~ The TV industry is so deep! These promotion managers of the broadcasting bureau are bandits! Do you know the robbers who exclude dissidents? Generally, newcomers don't want to come out at all, and the good people behind the scenes have been recruited by them. ”

Cui Dongxun raised his eyebrows and said in a serious way, pointing to the tent where the recruitment poster of the crew of "Xu Changjin" was hung, and there were about thirty or forty groups of more than forty people behind it, including a few actors in ancient costumes, jumping around on the grass to play, which was quite time-traveling.

"That's the most powerful guys in the Broadcasting Bureau, the promotion team of Lee Byung-hoon, one of the five major promotion managers, director Lee Byung-hoon is one of the only two directors in the bureau who is also the promotion manager, they like to make costume films the most, almost monopolize all haode art, director of photography, screenwriter is also very good, and it is also the promotion group of MBC's counterpart, if you want to shoot ancient costumes, it's best to find a way to follow Lee Byung-hoon, provided that you are interested in historical dramas, and they are also very strict in selecting people, and newcomer directors basically don't accept ......"

"I'm not interested in costumes." Li Xiaole looked at Li Bingxun's group, most of them were in their forties or fifties, and they had an old-fashioned taste, which he didn't like very much.

"Oh, so you want to shoot a fashion drama, then you can ask me the right person." Cui Dongxun put his arm around Li Xiaole's shoulders and pointed to the big locust tree more than ten meters high: "Do you know them?" ”

Li Xiaole looked along the gaze of his fingers, gathered together in about seventy or eighty on the grass, in front of the tent in front of a wooden board to set up a huge propaganda poster, against the snowy background, the silhouettes of a pair of men and women hugged together in the middle of the secluded forest road, beautiful, next to the speaker played soothing light music, under the poster in artistic font wrote: "Four Seasons Love Song Part 2 Preparation Recruitment" These big words.

"Is it Director Yi Xihu?" Li Xiaole knew at a glance that this was the crew of "Winter Love Song".

Cui Dongxun gritted his teeth and nodded angrily: "Well, this is the most fucking group now, that bastard Yi Xihu is also the director and promotion manager, isn't he a popular "Blue Life and Death Love", the whole broadcasting bureau has drilled into the group of Yi Xihu, last year they pulled me to join, I can't even look down on it, and now these gangs of bitches don't look down on me anymore, what bullshit...... However, the signing rate of their group's fashion drama is not bad......"

"No wonder there are so many people." Li Xiaole nodded in his heart, now and in the next two years, the aiqing tragedy genre created by Yixi Lake is in vogue.

Due to the recent infinite spread of the influence of "Blue Life and Death Love" in Asia, almost all TV stations are producing tragic aiqing themes.

In Lee Xiaole's mind, there are only a handful of Korean TV directors who can be called masters, Lee Byung-hoon, who is known for his historical themes, Yi Seok Lake who has a beautiful composition and musical touch, and Shin Woo-cheol, who has both an artistic sense and a modern sense of shooting pictures, is unique in South Korea.

In the decades of history of Korean TV dramas, only these three can be called the banner figures of the founding school.

Now in 2001, Lee Byung-hoon, Yi Seok-ho has already become famous all over the world, and the only remaining Shin Woo-chul should still be working hard at the bottom, and he has not signed a long-term contract with any TV station.

Li Xiaole doesn't want Shin Yuzhe to be his assistant director, but hopes that he will be his own art designer, Korean dramas are excellent in all aspects of behind-the-scenes production, and there is still a significant gap compared with those artists in the United States and Britain, the only thing in the art design of set props is that the artistic sensitivity to fashion and set color, the set of Korean dramas, prop designers can compete with Shijie and any other country and place.

The famous set and prop masters in Korean dramas are different from Bao Dexi's famous fingers in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", they are usually just executors, and the real props director in the play is the director himself, the most typical example is Yi Xihu, who used to be a professional music director, when he was a TV assistant, he showed an amazing talent for showing the poetry of music through the set picture, so he is also known as a TV poet.

In the upcoming filming of "Winter Love Song", many scenes will be included in the Korean university textbook "History of Korean Art and Painting" in the future, you must know that even in the huge China, the popular culture can be included in the textbooks of different fields of universities, only the lyrics of the legendary rock musician Cui Jian are included in the textbooks in the form of poems, which can imagine the depth of Yi Xihu's artistic attainments.

And the director Shin Woo-chul, who studied art, is known as an aesthetic genius who can put the sand into a diamond-like brilliance, and then in his filming of TV series, many international brands of clothing and accessories will take the new products that will be launched this season for the director to choose, and use the sponsorship model as the clothing of the male and female protagonists, as long as the clothes or decorations selected by Shin Woo-cheol will become the most popular goods in the market that year.

However, the director, who will shine in the future, still doesn't know where he is in the radio drama, and it is not so easy to find it.

Li Xiaole followed Cui Dongxun to the announcement board, and saw that the list above was dense, not to mention thousands, and his eyes were spent.

Li Duohai kindly asked on the side: "Director, who are you looking for, I'll help you find it, I'll look from behind." ”

"Shin Woo-chul." Li Xiaole told her that Li Duohai ran to the other end of the bulletin board and squatted down to find it.

The two of them spent more than 10 minutes, but after checking the list, they found that four people were all named Shen Yuzhe, and no one answered the call, Li Xiaole really felt a headache.

Seeing that he was entangled, Cui Dongxun smiled with big teeth on the side, thinking that this little director really didn't look like a person who was in charge, and he couldn't find anyone, so he asked with a teasing meaning:

"Xiaole, big brother, I'm curious, why do you come to make a TV series instead of being a good movie director? Don't you all look down on this business in movies? ”

"You can't say that." Li Xiaole shook his head and smiled: "Movies and TV series are essentially film and television arts, although movies will be more exquisite, but in terms of shaping characters and emotions, the duration of TV series is obviously better, for ordinary audiences, TV series characters leave far more memories than movies, and compared to TV people, it is much harder, which is also the reason why the top talents in the Weishenme industry like movies more." ”

Cui Dongxun listened to Li Xiaole's words very sincerely, but his impression of him was much better, and he asked curiously: "That Xiaole, can I ask what type of TV series you want to make?" ”
