Chapter 67: Planning for a New Flowering Season
According to Zhou Yi's ideal plan, Zhengdong Pictures' second film "Rushing to the Sky Tower" after the completion of the acquisition will definitely be filmed during the holiday after the college entrance examination, and at the same time as the TV series "Eighteen-year-old Flower Season". Zhou Yi has roles to play on both sides.
It doesn't matter about this, the crews on both sides of Zhou Yi are playing everywhere, no problem.
A modern campus drama, a costume action movie, there will be no chaos.
At that time, it will be arranged to shoot in a film and television city, and the distance can be relatively close.
Zhou Yi feels that he is energetic and can be completely busy, anyway, he doesn't have too many movie scenes, mainly playing. With his super brain memory, the lines are not a problem. That's it.
But the problem is that actors can be skilled, but directors are definitely not. Actors can play on both sides of the crew, but can the director follow along? Director Zhao must go all out to make a movie, and he can't be distracted to make a TV series, isn't that a mess? Definitely not good on both sides.
Director Zhao is not a superman, he doesn't have that much energy, and he is not good at filming this kind of youth campus palace fight TV series.
Shooting a girl can make him big on the head.
But are there any other directors in the company? This is indeed a problem.
Especially most of the behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew must follow to make movies, what about the TV series? There's no one left!
That's the downside of the fact that the two lines go hand in hand.
But Zhou Yi had no choice, he didn't want to delay time, so he tried to film as much as possible.
So many movies to make! You can't delay a drama for too long.
And he is going to college, the freshman year must be very tight, he has to lay a good foundation for acting, and it is impossible to always take time off from filming.
The time of the holiday is just right for filming, so it's best to hurry up and try to shoot as many films as possible.
But now the company is definitely not enough behind-the-scenes personnel, and there is obviously a shortage of actors and actresses.
Gao Song can't act in a TV series, they all have to make movies, and they can't find a schedule.
Their follow-up movies, Zhou Yi has planned for them, and they will continue to shoot this year, and they may have to compete for the New Year's file at the end of the year. Although the script has not yet been written, for Zhou Yi, it is all a trivial matter. What's the trouble with writing things out of your head?
So Takamatsu and they are very short of time, and they usually don't have time to shoot TV dramas.
Then the actors also have to recruit some more. These things are quite troublesome.
Do you still want to borrow it from Lang Jun? Will that guy still borrow? It's not like a primary school student borrowing a pencil and an eraser, not borrowing me to beat you! But I can't say, Boss Lang is very personal, maybe he thinks that suffering a loss is taking advantage! He doesn't seem to think like a normal person.
Zhou Yi planned to go to the company's headquarters in the afternoon to discuss with Sister Zhuo and the relevant company executives.
Now it's time to work together to solve the puzzle.
In particular, Zhou Yi also plans to take time to meet with the members of the company's screenwriting team, get acquainted, and study the issue of script adaptation by the way.
For a long time, he did not meet with the screenwriters, which was also negligent. However, this time is really busy, filming, publicity, and preparing for the college entrance examination, he is not without time, but he is a little busy and dizzy, and some things are not noticed, so he forgets about it.
After all, he has a lot of important things to think about, and it is inevitable that something will be missed.
And before the TV series script was completed, Zhou Yi really didn't want to meet with the screenwriters, and he didn't want to make people feel that he was urging. It's not good to rush the manuscript. Now that the script is complete, the situation is very ideal, and he should go to meet and exchange with everyone.
As for the script, he roughly read the plot outline and felt that the plot was very exciting, and it was no problem at all. It can be seen that the screenwriting team must have been carefully crafted. As for the specific details, he didn't have time to look at them in detail for the time being, and he had to go to the company to discuss things.
On her sister's side, Zhou Yi copied a script to Tang Yan and asked her to think about the role.
The full version of the script definitely needs to be kept secret and cannot be copied indiscriminately.
However, the script documents are encrypted and processed by the company's technicians, and there is no problem.
Zhou Yi asked Tang Yan to pay a little attention and not to leak it.
got the script, Tang Yan was very happy, there will be filming during the holiday, it is indeed worth looking forward to.
Otherwise, she always watches her brother make movies, and she is quite itchy in her heart.
For the plot outline, Tang Yan is very satisfied.
Can this not be satisfied? This drama is just to praise her! The plot revolves around her, and it can't be better.
In order to support his sister, Zhou Yi is willing to be green grass and flowers, what else do you want? It can't really be a one-man show!
Seeing that his sister was happy, Zhou Yi was naturally very happy.
But I won't be at school to accompany her in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yi went to the company's headquarters, found Zhuo Qinglian first, told him what he had considered before, and asked for Sister Zhuo's opinion.
Zhuo Qinglian smiled: "Ah Yi, I told you a long time ago, our company is three or two big cats and small cats, and it's not easy to do it now." ”
Zhou Yi asked strangely: "Our company has filmed TV series before!" How can there be no contracted director for a TV series? ”
"Yes!" Zhuo Qinglian smiled, "But now it's gone." ”
"Why? I remember no one poaching our director! "Zhou Yi is even more strange.
"It's true that our director hasn't been poached before, but you know, the previous boss was so obsessed with making blockbusters that he didn't have the heart to make a TV series again. Other directors can't do it! The company's two original TV series directors have found other jobs and found their own way out. How can the company have any other manpower available at the moment? It's really a big cat and a kitten, it's not a joke. Zhuo Qinglian explained.
"Alas! It's a mess left by the previous boss again, it's really choking! Zhou Yi was quite helpless.
The company's infrastructure is indeed very good, but there are also messes, and now he has to clean up the whole thing.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhuo Qinglian said: "In the early stage, I think for the time being, let the assistant director Liao Zhenyu prepare first?" ”
"Does Deputy Director Liao make a TV series?" Zhou Yi asked.
"I'm afraid not. He doesn't seem to have any experience in filming large-scale TV dramas. With his ability, it's no problem to be a deputy, but as a director, I'm afraid he himself is not confident, and we are even less confident. After all, this TV series has to shoot at least 40 episodes! Reluctantly let him shoot, what if the shot collapses? Besides, Director Zhao's side is inseparable from him when he makes movies. Zhuo Qinglian is not optimistic.
Zhou Yi naturally didn't dare to let people shoot sister dramas casually, and the assistant director was really not sure, so he could only forget it.
"What about the director? I'm afraid it's too late to make a move. Do you want to find a secondment from a familiar company? Zhou Yi had some ideas.
"There's no need to be in a hurry, just let the assistant director prepare first! Now Manager Zheng and they have gone out to run errands. Some are doing publicity, some are negotiating business, and they are not at home. When they come back, we'll have a meeting and make plans! This kind of thing must be carefully considered and not made too hastily in decision. Zhuo Qinglian said.
"That's good!" Zhou Yi naturally agreed.
"Moreover, we have to recruit some more people behind the scenes." Zhuo Qinglian said, "With just these people in the company, can they start filming a movie and a 40-episode TV series at the same time?" There are definitely not enough people! ”
Second-tier companies are like that, and sometimes they are overstretched.
But having money can solve a lot of things.
Zhou Yi didn't worry much about this.
"In addition, we don't have enough signed artists."
That's a big problem.
All the female artists of the previous company and a few younger male Xiao Xianrou were poached by other companies with high salaries. The rest is Takamatsu's mature and steady, Zheng Zilong's contented and happy type, or is it a naturally unlucky type? People don't want it? Or maybe it's Tang Wang, who has a bad appearance and can't get ahead, people don't bother to dig it at all, and they need this kind of role in time.
Acting skills are only valuable if they are matched with their appearance, and they are not worth anything if they can't be matched with their appearance!
In fact, Zhou Yi's opinion is just the opposite, the remaining acting schools are worth money, those little fresh meat are there every year, what is it worth?
But Takamatsu and none of them can act in a TV series.
Now the starring framework of the TV series is Zhou Yi and Tang Yan as the male number one and female number one, and the male number two will train the company's newly signed young actor Lin Yan. Female No. 2 is still looking for Qiu Cao to try? Borrowing once is borrowing, borrowing twice is also borrowing!
I don't know how the TV series that grabbed Tang Yan's role on Daqin's side was filmed, but Qiu Cao should be able to borrow it!
For Miss Qiu, now is the initial stage of fame, and filming more is serious, no matter what kind of drama it is!
The villain of the dance club, the rich girl Zheng Xiuyan, can just let Qiu Cao try it. According to the setting, this character is very outstanding, not a small role, and definitely very attractive. Even compared with the heroine Bai Luoxue, there is a fight. If there is no strong villain, how can the heroine's excellence be highlighted? Is it true that dance competitions are won by winning a group of weak chickens?
What's the point?
Such a role is generally not given to candidates from outside companies, but if there is no one in their own company, they can only recruit actors. Even for Qiu Cao, backed by Daqin, such a brilliant role is not something that can be obtained casually. I'm sure she'll be interested.
And her dancing skills should be excellent! Otherwise, can Lang Jun take a fancy to her?
Let her make a TV series and a movie one after another, we are worthy of Lang Jun, don't thank me too much!
Although I beat you up very hard at the beginning, now we also spend our strength to support your woman! Be content and happy!
Zhou Yi thought well.
God knows what Lang Jun will think: Won't I hold my woman myself? Do you have to hold it? It's not enough for you to praise your own woman? Still thinking about the woman who holds me? Wow! This is really too deceitful, how can it be justified!
Thinking about this situation, Zhou Yi wanted to laugh a few times.
In addition, there are several important male and female roles, such as Gao Fushuai, the president of the student union from a wealthy family, Edison Zheng, a freshman in national arts, and Chen Fei'er, an important supporting actress, who can only be cast, or find a familiar company to seconded actors, after all, there are always actors who can't make a scene, or actors who other companies want to support, and if there is no suitable play for the time being, you can try it. This aspect is not difficult. The former Aurora Pictures has been mixed in the circle for so many years, and naturally there are some alliance companies and connections.
However, Zhengdong Pictures is really short of manpower at present, and we have to think of ways in the future.
Zhou Yi chatted with Zhuo Qinglian for a while, discussing these things, and there was no good way for the time being.
With the current situation of the company, can't it expand its recruitment indefinitely, can it afford to support those people? After all, the company hasn't really grown yet. If you have the family background and financial resources like Daqin Pictures, of course Zhou Yi doesn't care, but the key is no.
The development of the company cannot always be supported by the royalties of his "Military Commander's Secretary"!
It is still necessary to rely on its own hematopoiesis, and a virtuous circle must be formed.
When the box office and peripheral income of "Five Poison Gate" are recovered, and the company's initial capital accumulation is completed, it will be much easier to do this work.
In any case, the most important issue at the moment is to try to find the right TV series director, so that the shooting team can be established.
Can the director borrow from another company? Is Lang Jun willing to borrow? I guess not.
Looking for a familiar company to secondment a behind-the-scenes team? Will it work?
Zhou Yi and Zhuo Qinglian pondered, but they couldn't be sure, so they could only wait for Manager Zheng to come back and discuss, these executives were more familiar with the situation in the industry.
In fact, it is still the most troublesome to find a director.
The soldier has no owner and is in chaos, and the snake is not headless!
At present, there are many new directors in the industry, and every year there are graduates of the directing department of performing arts schools looking for jobs.
But directors are not the same as actors, and practical experience is very much needed.
Actor Xiao Xianrou can still act in idol dramas!
Can director Xiao Xianrou really make idol dramas?
Zhou Yike didn't dare to find those new directors, after all, the old directors were more secure in filming. When a young man just leaves school, he often has eyes above the top and a low eye, who knows what he can do for you? It's all impossible! What if it smashes? Who's going to pay? Zhou Yike didn't dare to take a gamble, after all, this is a sister drama, not an inconsequential TV series, and he really can't afford to gamble.
Especially the script of this TV series is very good, I don't ask you to shoot it wildly, I just ask you to shoot it steadily.
As long as you can shoot it steadily, the effect must be very good, and there is no need to risk it at all.
In this way, of course, it is more appropriate to find an old director, at least the success coefficient has increased greatly.
Why take unnecessary risks with young directors?
Even if you shoot tricks, how much better can it be?
Zhou Yi doesn't expect this TV series to make his sister popular, the key is to win it steadily, which can increase her fame and acting skills.
That's all that matters.
It would be great to find an old director who is good at directing actors on the spot and has patience.
In fact, the original Director He was very good, but unfortunately there was no way.
talked about these things with Zhuo Qinglian, and Zhuo Qinglian also agreed.
She felt that the young director couldn't control the scene, and it really couldn't work.
Don't talk about others, Zhou Yi alone, when filming, can he trust the young director? Can you really listen to the young director's request? Don't look at Director Zhao's blockbuster film, but he is also old and experienced, and he has succeeded many times before, so Zhou Yi will trust him. Old directors have more chances to turn over than young directors, change a young director, you try it!
Young people can only slowly boil their qualifications, don't look at Zhou Yi himself as a young man, but he also agrees with this.
The director and behind the scenes, he will definitely not use young people lightly, he can't believe it at all! At the age of Director Zhao and Director Rong, they are experienced and steady, and they are the pillars of the company that are truly trustworthy.
In fact, many big directors in the industry have come out like this, and very few have become famous at a young age.
Zhou Yi himself is very young, if he is matched with a young team, can he still film?
Isn't that?
