Chapter 16: Drumming and Gathering

On Wednesday the next day, the "Flower Season" crew jointly formed by Zhengdong Pictures and Griffin Media officially beat the drums and gathered the generals, and the young leading actors with martial arts and dance dramas had to start strict training. In the morning, all the crew and main artists who should have arrived arrived, and no one was deliberately late at this critical moment. Even an up-and-coming little girl like Qiu Cao is no exception.

Accompanied by a female assistant, Qiu Cao came to the crew on time and waited for the dispatch. After all, her fame is not comparable to that of a well-known TV series director in the industry like Director Wan, and now is not the time to play a big name. Director Wan has cultivated many superstars in the industry, and the qualifications are there, Qiu Cao must have understood it in advance, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off.

Not to mention the other newcomers, whose status is far inferior to Qiu Cao, of course, they must be strictly disciplined.

Coupled with the boss taking the lead, Zhou Yi played a good role model, and naturally the three armies died.

The main senior management of the crew should have a meeting first, and then start various tasks.

Naturally, several leading actors also have to meet in advance, communicate with each other, get acquainted with each other, and then be good for the show.

The crew rented the auditorium of K. Wah Art School as the main office location.

Outside is the garden area of Lin Feng and Shuimei, with excellent scenery and suitable for filming.

At present, Tang Wang and Lin Yan are both in the crew, and they will report in the morning, and Zhou Yi will naturally see them. Everyone said hello and chatted a few words. Lin Yan knew that Zhou Yi recommended him to play the second male lead, and he was very grateful and thanked him again and again.

With the boss's appreciation, he feels that he is very lucky, and he has recently trained in an art school, and he is even more energetic.

Zhou Yi just let him act well, and there was no pressure.

Tang Wang is also quite satisfied with the current situation, after all, after the company's acquisition, there has been a series of filming, which has been non-stop, and the momentum is very good. Although there is no suitable role on the part of the film crew, he can still act in a TV series. It seems that the company will shoot a lot of scenes in the future, and he will always have roles to play in the future. He knows that with his appearance, it is too difficult to play the leading role, but it is good to always have a suitable role, and there will always be opportunities in the future. When the opportunity comes, just seize it, there's nothing to worry about, the most important thing is to play the role in front of you first.

After communicating with the company's contracted artists, Zhou Yi saw Qiu Cao over there and drove it up.

So he took his sister Tang Yan and went to talk to Qiu Cao. Boys need to be proactive, and there is no need to be as reserved as girls. This is basic courtesy. Everyone is not a star, naturally there is no shelf to put up, they are all acquaintances, of course, they have to talk and chat.

"Miss Qiu Cao, we're meeting again."

This is the first time that Zhou Yi and his sister have officially met Qiu Cao in the crew.

Qiu Cao has always been accompanied by a female assistant.

Lang Jun won't come over in person, he is usually too busy with work, and it is estimated that some of them are tired from "Nie Yinniang".

Of course, Qiu Cao's female assistant is different from the agent next to An Dehai, she is instructed by the boss to help Qiu Cao deal with some chores in life, and she doesn't have to keep an eye on it. Of course, Lang Jun was not worried that Qiu Cao would be abducted by Zhou Yi, there was no such possibility at all. Lang Jun trusts Qiu Cao very much. The female assistant will not stop Qiu Cao and Zhou Yi from communicating, after all, they are male and female protagonists, and it is impossible not to communicate.

Director Wan also needs them to communicate, strive to cooperate tacitly, and perform brilliantly.

"Yo? Boss Zhou! Thank you for recommending me to this play! ”

"It's Miss Qiu Cao who has the strength! Don't call me Boss Zhou, just call me junior. I'm not in college yet! ”

"Hee-hee! All right! ”

Seeing that Zhou Yi took his sister and took the initiative to come over, Qiu Cao was very happy. Although Zhou Yi's current status in the circle may be slightly higher than her, and the box office results prove it, she can't take the initiative to talk to the actor, let alone surrender her identity and take the initiative to communicate with a pure newcomer like Tang Yan. That would be too sycophancy, completely unnecessary. She also has backers, of course, a little tsundere.

Everyone met and communicated, and the topic of discussion was nothing more than movies. Zhou Yi politely said that he went to see "Assassin Nie Yinniang" in person, and it was indeed very well filmed, with high artistry, Miss Qiu Cao acted very well, and I wish the film a big hit.

The last sentence is purely polite, if you are facing Lang Jun, you will be slapping your face in the face if you say so.

But saying this to Qiu Cao is just a compliment, no problem.

Qiu Cao grinned and said very straightforwardly: "The junior brother can't help but say this. In fact, the younger brother's movie is a big hit! Let's not mention our film. Our boss Lang is going to die of depression recently. The artistry of the film is high, but the box office is about to die, it is estimated that it is difficult to exceed 100 million at the box office, it is difficult to recover the investment, and it is almost doomed to lose money. ”

Anyway, Lang Jun was not present, so she didn't have to be afraid of what she said.

It is impossible for the assistant to use this kind of talk to tell the truth, then there is a suspicion of provoking, Lang Jun will not be dissatisfied with her, but will be dissatisfied with the assistant.

Qiu Cao is not talking nonsense, in fact, he is shrewd in his heart!

What to say and what not to say, she knows it all.

And her relationship with Lang Jun is not so fragile, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

At this time, Zhou Yi smiled and comforted a couple of words: "You must have drama singing in the Daqin Awards Season, and you can definitely win awards, and the box office is nothing at all." ”

Qiu Cao whispered: "I don't have anything to do during the awards season, and I can't win the award." Box office results and popularity are real. ”

"Haha!" The Zhou Yi brothers and sisters couldn't help laughing.

Qiu Cao is telling the truth. She wasn't afraid of it getting out. Of course, if it is passed out, she will not admit it. No wonder she wants to make a commercial film, now that she has just debuted, she really missed the award, and the most important thing is to make a commercial film to accumulate popularity. When Hua Qing first debuted, he didn't rush to win awards, and he didn't want to be crowned until he became famous in recent years, which is the same reason.

You have to mix in the top Hua Dan position first, then you can win the prize, and only when you win the award can you be convincing.

Who can win an award just after their debut? Don't be funny, it's impossible.

The phenomenon of seniority in the Chinese film industry today can be stricter than in previous lives, and even stricter than Hollywood in the United States.

If you don't have certain qualifications in the industry, no matter how good your acting skills are, no matter how much people praise them, you won't be able to win the award.

This is determined by humanistic traditions and social customs, but there is no such thing as a hero being a teenager.

Qiu Cao took over the filming of this youth campus TV series, and it is estimated that he also values the popularity of this trendy drama series and will bring high popularity. With her appearance and dancing skills, whether she plays the leading role or a supporting role, she will attract the audience and increase her popularity. is like Fan Yafu in her previous life who played a supporting role for Queen Zhao, and she will also be the first sister in the film industry in the future. If you have the strength, you have no problem playing anything.

The two sides had a friendly exchange and complimented each other.

Qiu Cao also teased Tang Yan next to her, who looked honest and looked like a smooth little cat: "Sister Tang Yan, when filming, sister, I will go all out, and I will never show mercy!" ”

"Hee-hee! Sister Qiu Cao, let the horse come! Tang Yan was not afraid, she immediately came to her senses, and she looked very aggressive.

"Haha! My sister is so funny. Seeing Tang Yan's appearance of a kitten, Qiu Cao was very happy. In the play, the two either the west wind overwhelms the east wind, or the east wind overpowers the west wind, and they really need to have a good fight.

This is a typical modern version of the plot of the East Palace and the West Palace fighting for the back position.

However, the atmosphere of communication was good, very harmonious and loving.

Liang Jiaren and Chen Minhao also came over to exchange a few words, one of them played Qiu Cao's younger brother in the play, and the other played Qiu Cao's boyfriend in the play, there must be an exchange. In the face of such top beauties, they are a little restrained.

But Qiu Cao talks and laughs with them, doesn't put on a show, and she herself is not a big star!

At this time, Lin Yan came over with a girl next to him to help Zhou Yi introduce him.

This girl's name is Chen Yingying, and she is also an art school student, playing the role of Chen Feier, the third girl, and has a lot of rivalry with Lin Yan. It seems that they are very familiar and have communicated for a long time, after all, Lin Yan has been to the crew for a long time, and he is usually not as busy as Zhou Yi.

Chen Yingying and Tang Yan are friends in the play, so they naturally want to get acquainted with it. This girl is very good-looking, has the temperament of a small jasper, speaks softly, and looks elegant and delicate. The character is well cast and fits well with the character's characteristics.

Everyone talked and laughed, and soon became familiar with each other.

Tang Wanghe and the actress who played Teacher Liu Jing also came over to exchange a few words. They are a couple in the play. The actress who plays Teacher Liu Jing is Yao Jingwen, who is in her early 30s, about the same age as Tang Wang.

This is a youth campus idol drama, so naturally you can't use too old actresses to play teachers.

Even a character like a teacher needs a certain amount of appearance.

Yao Jingwen looks good, although she is not the top one, but she has a cold and glamorous style, especially when she wears flat glasses and thick black frames, she looks quite majestic, and she is more like a domineering head teacher like the Exterminator Shitai.

This head teacher really has that kind of cold and domineering feeling.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied, and felt that Director Wan's casting was really good, and the role of the head teacher was really a highlight, which was cool. He was afraid that if he chose a middle-aged woman with insufficient appearance for this role, or an old lady's head teacher, it would be miserable.

However, Director Wan has been in the industry for so many years, has filmed idol dramas, and is very experienced, so he obviously will not be so rigid in casting. What's more, there is also the young artistic director Pei Hao to help him check, so naturally there will be no problems. Don't look at Liu Jing's head teacher's nickname Extermination, but actors really can't choose those with low appearance, they have to be particularly temperamental. can elect Yao Jingwen as the head teacher, this role is no problem.

Everyone exchanged a few words and appreciated each other.

Yao Jingwen also graduated from Yanying, but she can't be regarded as Zhou Yi and Tang Yan's senior sister, and her aunt is about the same. However, Zhou Yi and Tang Yan still affectionately called him senior sister. Yao Jingwen was very happy, smiling, and suddenly reduced her majestic temperament.

She has also watched "Five Poisons" recently! I appreciate Zhou Yi's table very much.

In fact, Tang Wang recommended her to watch it, and it is always good to watch the boss's play.

It seems that the two of them knew each other before.

Although they are much older than Zhou Yi and others, they are all insiders and do not hinder communication.

After the artists get to know each other, the follow-up work continues.

The dance group led by teacher Lin Xianglan and the martial arts group led by director Sun Zhankui should immediately start the training of artists. Tang Yan and Qiu Cao, as well as some girls with many dance scenes, naturally had to follow Teacher Lin's group to the school's dance studio for training. Zhou Yi, Liang Jiaren and others followed Director Sun's martial arts group to the school's national arts classroom for training.

Artists who don't have dance scenes and play scenes just need to be familiar with the script, and they don't need to stay here.

The morning went by like this.

At noon, the artists with training tasks went to the campus cafeteria to eat together.

Zhou Yi and his sister are not special, and they eat in the school cafeteria, which is very convenient.

Seeing that Tang Yan and Qiu Cao were talking and laughing, it was obvious that the relationship was good, and Zhou Yi was relieved. Although the two girls have to tear up until the sky is dark in the play, they get along well outside the play. Tang Yan looked relaxed, obviously no problem coping with training. Her dancing skills are sufficient, and the training is not difficult to complete.

As for Zhou Yi, it's even easier.

For his cousin, the members of the martial arts group could only marvel. The level of this kind of national art performance is too high. With this level of performance, it is difficult for TV series not to be popular. Many crew members have watched the film "Five Poison Gate", and now they have close contact with Zhou Yi, and they are even more confident in this TV series. If nothing else, this is another hit drama. When did Director Wan lose his hand!

Now with a good deck of cards in his hand, how can he not play a straight flush.

Many people in the crew feel that with Zhou Yi's current qualifications, although he is limited to his age and may be weaker in acting, his qualification potential is definitely not worse than Zhao Yanqin, who played "Yan Tieyi" in his early years, and not inferior to Gu Yanzu, who played "The Winner is King" back then.

Even in terms of national arts, Zhou Yi is far more than those two!

As for Tang Yan, who is to be praised in this play, at least in terms of dance, she is very good. Even if the acting skills are a little weak, the comprehensive Su zhì and future potential can be compared with the popular Yousheng actress Vivien Li when she first debuted with Director Wan's "Youth Without Regrets" trilogy.

The two of them have not yet been in Yanying, they have not received a professional education, and it doesn't matter if their acting skills are poor, they will naturally make up for it in the future. This drama does not have very high requirements for acting skills, playing a senior high school student, most of the scenes only need to be performed in their true colors, how are they in peacetime, and what is still in the play. For some special scenes, the director will guide him carefully, and there will be no problem. Since Director Wan was able to win those superstars at the beginning, how can he not be popular with Zhou Yi's brothers and sisters now? If Zhou Yi's brothers and sisters can be made popular again, Director Wan will be too awesome, and even Zhou Yi thinks this is very awesome.

During the lunch meal, the artists will also exchange some filming ideas with each other, and everyone will talk and laugh and have a good time. The leisure time at noon passed quickly, and training continued in the afternoon. Filming is very hard, not so easy, and the preparation is very detailed.

I'm afraid this kind of intensive training will last for about a week, and then the crew will officially start to be afraid.

This is a sharpening knife and not cutting wood, and the quality of the episode is the most important, so that the effect is ideal.

During this time, Xi Wei and Teng Tiangang have been accompanying the brother and sister in the crew, but when they are fine, they are like invisible people, hiding next to them, not very conspicuous. Teng Tiangang silently observed some of the crew's situation and seemed to be interested.

Xi Wei is familiar with Qiu Cao's female assistant Zhang Xuan.

They live in the same dormitory, so they naturally communicate.

A day's training passed like this, and in his free time in the afternoon, Zhou Yi continued to study Lou Degua's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" TV series, pondering his acting skills, and then waiting for the etiquette teacher Lu Dejin to come over, and he had to do some etiquette training in the evening, which was indeed very busy.

In the evening, Mr. Lutheran arrived on time.

Zhou Yi asked Xi Wei to pick it up, and the two sides met in the dormitory area, and then went to the vacated national arts classroom to train.

Recently, Lu Dejin has studied the movie script provided by Zhengdong in detail, and has a deeper understanding of the role of Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, and at the same time has portrayed and shaped the external image and internal temperament of this character in great detail, which is presented in the form of a written outline. Now he has brought Zhou Yi a full set of character appearance and temperament shaping programs and etiquette training syllabus designed by him.

It can be said that except for acting skills, he can do everything else, which is very reliable.

Under the careful guidance of Teacher Lu, Zhou Yi started relevant etiquette training in the evening, and his attitude was very serious. He has to make sure that his every move, smile, sitting, standing and walking must conform to the identity setting of the character, and even the tone and speed of speech, as well as the accent of the lines and dialogues, must be designed in detail and repeatedly scrutinized. If you can do this, at least some of the external appearances of the character are impeccable.

As for the performance, just continue to refer to the acting skills of the world actor Lou Degua back then.

After a while, Aunt Tanya and Teacher Guo Donglin will come to the crew to guide him personally.

That's it.
