Chapter 87: Tai Chi Grandmaster
Thursday, September 3rd. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Zhou Yi brothers and sisters have four days of vacation left, and then they will go to Yanying to report for duty.
They can't do anything these days, they can only prepare for school.
Now that Zhengdong's second film "Chongxiao Tower" was submitted for review and rating, many theater managers have rushed to the company to watch the film, and many managers were invited to come this time, much more positive than last time, obviously the success of "Five Poisons" has brought everyone a lot of confidence. It's like buying stocks, and it's also about chasing high. Even the manager of Huaxia Sichao put down his shelf and came to see in person.
Is this another low-budget dark horse film? I didn't know until I saw it.
These things are received by Manager Zheng and them, and Zhou Yi does not need to participate in person.
It is said that several theater managers who watched the film expressed optimism, believing that this is another classic of small-budget action movies, a model of cold weapon action movies, and it definitely has a big hit. And there are a lot of highlights in the film, the first is the violent duel of cold weapons, the second is the exquisite mechanism of Chongxiaolou, the third is the cool and handsome style of Xiangyang Wang, and the fourth is the subversive adaptation of the plot. With these, there must be no worries about the popularity of fans and audiences, hot sales are almost inevitable, and the commercial elements are very accurate.
The aspect that the film lacks is that there is no blockbuster scenery and no famous directors and superstars to join, but small-budget films can't ask for too much.
A few second-tier acting schools got together, plus two good-looking newcomers, which is equivalent to an ordinary first-line lineup, which is already very good.
The theater managers are all elites in the circle, and they naturally understand people, and they can see at a glance what the selling point of the film is, such as a few treasures.
The selling point of the design before the shooting of Zhengdong is indeed these.
Cinema managers naturally support this kind of creative film.
Now we are waiting for the end of the film's review and rating, and then large-scale publicity, and then the film is scheduled for release. This time, there is really no need to order a screening, and the premiere of Yanjing will be arranged directly, and then it will be released on a large scale nationwide.
The premiere was definitely held at Taj Cinemas.
The alliance between the two sides is unbreakable.
Now the early version of the trailer released online is widely praised by fans.
Because it has not been reviewed, it can't add the dragon mark title, so it can only be regarded as a preemptive version.
However, impatient action movie fans are already impatient.
A fan itched uncontrollably and said: With the urine of Director Zhao's last trailer for "Five Poisons", most of the wonderful shots of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" will definitely not be released in the trailer. I want the footage of the King of Xiangyang. What's going on with this fleeting shot? This trailer is too jerky to do. Director Zhao Zhichu, do you dare me to see it more clearly? Except that you can see that Takamatsu is the protagonist, you can't see anything. Also, does this film have a heroine? It seems to be another tough guy action movie with no female characters. Is there really no actress in Jeongdong?
Many fans have praised and supported: The director gave more shots! What kind of trailer is this?
Of course, the wonderful shots can't be exposed more, and they are still left to surprise fans in the feature film!
There are mostly fleeting shots in the trailer, that's it, not to mention that after the film is reviewed, the trailer will have another official version, an extended version, a director's cut version, etc., etc., anyway, there are many versions!
Zhengdong advertises the film, it has always been like this, and it is necessary to strictly follow the steps.
Now the trailer has been uploaded to the company's various artists' Julang Weibo for promotion.
Tang Yan's wonderful photos of writing couplets in the Xiaolou taken by Zhou Yi were also passed on to the company's publicity department, which can also be advertised. Both are skyscrapers, which is indeed a good publicity highlight.
The propaganda department made a plan in the morning and uploaded the relevant copywriting and photos to Zhou Yi's Weibo.
"Learn to be rich and have five cars, only eight buckets high, and sigh that the world will regret being young from now on."
"The family is surrounded by four walls, and the livelihood is nine streams, and I ask when the will of heaven will be heavy."
Just uploaded on Weibo in the morning, this elegy to mourn Mei Shi caused many fans to praise and worship, and they praised it one after another.
"The champion is a great talent, when you are a big white!"
"His Majesty King Wen is really talented!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Xiangyang is too talented."
"Yan muscles and willow bones, the calligraphy of the top science student is so powerful. I can't even write in the liberal arts! ”
"This is to dominate the rhythm of Yanying."
"Reading is a waste of time, it's better to make a film quickly!"
"Sharpen the knife and don't cut wood, my King Zhou Wen is still young! Of course, you have to go to the college for further study, otherwise how will you get the award in the future? ”
"His Majesty King Wen has already made a movie and a TV series during the summer vacation, and you have to shoot commercials, do you want to exhaust King Wen of Zhou?"
"Yi Shao is a real model worker, don't explain."
"King Wen of Zhou is not Jiang Ziya, and he lacks skills."
"It's very hard for artists, and it's much easier to go to school."
"I will definitely insist on filming when I go to school, Yanying is an art college, unlike those regular universities, students can film. Practice brings true knowledge, who can study hard in school all the time, so how can they have practical experience? Become famous as soon as possible, everyone understands. ”
There are many discussions on the Internet, and now Zhou Yi is indeed very influential on the Internet, and many fans pay attention to it.
Every time I post a new Weibo, many fans are the first to see it, and they swipe comments and messages as soon as possible.
Weibo is indeed very lively.
Zhou Yi's brother and sister watched very happily, their brother and sister had been staying at the company's headquarters in the morning, and the boss had to go to work occasionally, so he couldn't be absent from work all the time.
When their brother and sister were not filming, Xi Wei continued to come back as a little secretary.
When there was filming, she went to work as a life assistant for Tang Yan, which is really a multi-functional secretary Tinker Bell.
Tang Yan went to school in Yanying, of course she couldn't continue to take her assistant and bodyguards, it was enough to have her brother with her.
At present, Zhou Yi has come up with several TV series projects and wants to discuss them with Zhuo Qinglian. In terms of movies, after "Rushing Tower", there are also "Ace vs. Ace" and "One-Armed Knife" to take over, at least two projects can be approved. In terms of TV dramas, the same is true. After "Flower Season", Zhou Yi also has to do another TV series project to prepare in advance.
Although all employees of the company have to participate in the "Ace" project, and Zhou Yi and Tang Yan are about to go to school in Yanying, they don't have much energy to shoot TV series for the time being, but the company's preparations cannot be stopped, and the project establishment of the TV series must be in front, and it cannot be prepared at that time. After the company's scale expands, it is normal to start filming multiple film and television dramas at the same time.
Zhou Yi's latest TV series project is the costume action series "Tai Chi Grandmaster" in his previous life.
It doesn't sound like a well-known classic TV series that is particularly outstanding.
But what kind of TV series to choose should be suitable for the company's current development, as well as the company's artists, and more importantly, whether there are enough funds to shoot. If your company doesn't have a suitable artist to act, the choreographer and director are insufficient, and the filming funds are not much, some classic and good dramas can't be filmed in the previous life. Of course, it's no problem to find other artists to cooperate, but if your own artists can't star, you can't be popular with your own artists, you can't increase your fame, and you can't play a positive role in promoting the box office of the film in the future, let alone follow-up advertising endorsement income, it's not cost-effective. is starring another artist, that is purely making wedding dresses for others, of course Zhou Yi will not do that kind of stupid thing.
For example, although "Flower Season" is a cooperation with Griffin Media, the leading actors are all rising stars in Zhengdong, which is the reason.
TV series are all filmed for a purpose, and they can't be filmed simply for the sake of filming. What's the use of earning that little hard-earned money?
Movies are used to make money, and TV series are basically used to praise people.
What kind of artist is praised, what kind of TV series will be filmed, and it is not suitable for it.
If you want to take the action strength route, don't engage in those little fresh meat idol dramas, you must highlight the action style.
And it has always been the industry practice that whoever has a project will praise whose artist, which has always been the case.
In terms of artists, Zhou Yi will not let it.
Cooperation can be a win-win situation, it can help partners make money, and it can allow each other to share the benefits, all of which are no problem.
But it must be their own artists who are popular, which is the most important.
As far as the company's current artists, such a situation, and such an investment scale, the TV series "Tai Chi Grandmaster" is quite suitable, at least suitable for the company's current situation and development needs, and the right one is the best.
What's more, this TV series is Wu Jing's famous work in his previous life, and it can even be regarded as a masterpiece. Because later, his films don't seem to have too many good movies, and it's really helpless to surpass this TV series.
With Zhou Yi's current age, he can just act in this TV series, and he will definitely be more famous, especially his playing and appearance are much stronger than Wu Jing in his previous life, and it is easier to shoot brilliantly, and this drama can continue to be popular with his sister, why not?
In her previous life, the heroine of this drama was very brilliant and her role was very heavy, but her appearance was far worse than Tang Yan's.
Zhou Yi really wants to help his sister shoot some Tai Chi scenes, it doesn't need to be too difficult, it doesn't need to be too strong movements, it can be filmed very soft and beautiful, that's it. Tang Yan has a foundation in dance, and it is not difficult to do it.
There are too many such film and television dramas in the previous life, all of them are good dramas, and it is easy to become famous.
If this TV series is successful, the next thing can be a movie. In the past, there was Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh's peak masterpiece "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and then there was AB's famous work "Tai Chi Trilogy", which can be filmed, no problem.
Now Tang Yan already has a TV series that shows dance, and another TV series that shows play, the type is not repetitive, it can broaden the way of play, and it has both modern and ancient costumes, both students and ladies, of course, it is better.
For Zhou Yi, the previously filmed movies "Five Poison Gate", "Chongxiao Tower", as well as the TV series "Flower Season", plus the cameo "Thunderbolt Baby", the fighting actions in it are not Tai Chi type, and they tend to be fierce in actual combat.
And Tai Chi is a major film and television project in the previous life, and it can't be missed, so Zhou Yi naturally wants to act.
For him, such a modern action drama, a costume action drama, as a famous masterpiece in TV dramas, is fine.
In fact, this TV series is not important to Zhou Yi, it is better to act in this type of movie. But now the company lacks talents, needs to prepare, can't blindly get on the horse, and this is to praise his sister, he is not willing to let others and his sister play this kind of rivalry.
Besides, the company really doesn't have the right actors.
Can Lin Yan act? It's definitely not a joke.
Hiring actors from other companies is still making wedding dresses for others, and it can't achieve the best action scene effect.
Although this drama was a TV series in the previous life, the writers, directors, and actors, especially the action directors, are all super big names, the top in the industry, including the production company behind the scenes, and they are also first-line big names, and the lineup is absolutely super strong. In this life, Zhou Yi wants to shoot better and more exciting, so naturally he will not mess around. For such an important role, let's play it yourself!
Of course, now we are just preparing for the project, and we have to wait patiently for the specific shooting time.
Like those first-line large companies, film and television dramas may have started preparations a few years ago.
A small second-tier company like Zhengdong is completely incomparable, but it must be prepared in advance.
For this TV series, Zhuo Qinglian and Tang Yan were very interested and asked a lot of information in detail. Zhou Yiyi explained one by one. There is a new drama to prepare, Tang Yan is naturally very happy. However, Zhou Yi definitely didn't have time to write the script of the TV series himself, those things were indeed too energy-consuming and too much work.
Zhou Yi didn't have that much time and didn't have that much energy.
He's not a robot cat, so it's impossible to conjure up a script in an instant.
Nowadays, it is imperative for companies to recruit new writers and directors.
Relying on Director Zhao alone, he has limited energy and lack of skills, so he can't shoot so many things, and he can't always hire external directors.
In addition, the company's screenwriting team is only three people, and they are too busy with the scripts at hand, so they don't have any extra time to write other scripts.
The company really needs more choreographers.
