Chapter 87: Waiting for the Dead
At this moment, another young man with glasses entered the conference room.
Director Wan led him over and took the initiative to introduce Zhou Yi. Somewhat unexpectedly, this handsome young man with a somewhat thin figure was actually the art director of this TV series, named Pei Hao.
In Zhou Yi's view, probably because this play is a youth campus drama, Director Wan is old, and his thinking may not keep up with the times, and he probably needs some young people's ideas, so he set up a young man to cooperate in the position of director.
Director Wan is experienced, absolutely not stupid, knows how to improve himself and keep pace with the times.
has not been eliminated by the tide of the times, people naturally have their own uniqueness.
said that Pei Hao is a young man, but in fact, he is also in his early 30s.
No matter how young he was, he would not have been able to hold this position.
Isn't that hairless on the mouth and insecure in handling affairs!
Maybe there is a common topic among young people, Pei Hao has a good impression of Zhou Yi's brothers and sisters, and the two sides chatted for a while.
Through the exchange, Zhou Yi knew that the other party was a high-achieving student who graduated from Fudan, although he was not from an art college, but he once worked in a well-known song and dance troupe in China, and served as the assistant director and deputy director, and was a very talented young man. He must have some background to be able to hold these important positions at such a young age, but Zhou Yi will not ask in detail, and he can't talk in depth.
In some martial arts novels, are there still fewer plots in which famous heroes go out to practice? What else needs to be asked?
Next, some crew members arrived one after another, including some personnel in photography, lighting, art, props, makeup, and costumes. Under the introduction of Director Wan, Zhou Yiyi greeted everyone one by one, especially to the chief photographer Fan Zhongyan, who had a careful exchange. Tang Yan just followed her brother step by step, greeted everyone with a smile, was very polite, and didn't talk much.
Manager Yan accompanied him and occasionally communicated with everyone.
When the communication is almost complete, everyone is more familiar, the time is just right, and the main members of the crew are together, then the meeting will begin. With Director Wan's personality and work style, the crew's preparatory meeting was naturally very rigorous and meticulous.
There is no need to list the specific meeting process one by one, and Zhou Yi is not very interested in crew affairs. There is no need to elaborate on work such as serving Huadao, Director Wan can assign all the work in an orderly manner.
The heads of the departments below will do it.
But there are two most important issues, one is casting and the other is venue.
The casting of the TV series is naturally the top priority, Zhou Yi and Manager Yan notified the actors they had determined, and Director Wan confirmed it, so the remaining actors should be selected from the griffin side, or cast.
Director Wan's work is really detailed, he explained in detail what kind of actors are required for each role, and also made a document and sent it to the casting director and relevant staff to arrange the work.
Especially the remaining few main actors, such as the three men and the three women, must be strictly selected and cannot be improvised.
Director Wan has strict requirements for actors.
It is true that some newcomers can be praised in TV series, but not all actors are newcomers, and the acting skills are not good, so how can you play? There is always a need for some powerful acting factions to press the formation. For example, father-daughter roles like the principal and Liu Jing must choose the most suitable acting school.
The combination of newcomers and old actors can make TV series more brilliant.
Some TV dramas are afraid that newcomers will have poor acting skills, and their performances will be suppressed, so they simply use old acting skills, and the ratings are often miserable. Because old drama bones often have acting skills, they are not popular, no matter how good they are, the ratings are not high, so what's the use?
There is no newcomer with good looks, who are those young audiences who like trendy to watch?
But if all newcomers are used, everyone's acting skills are terrible, and they are even more miserable, and they can only be worse than anyone else, so what's the point?
That kind of TV series doesn't matter whether the ratings are high or not, but the reputation is often very poor and cannot become a classic.
This life is different from the previous life, and the audience's requirements for TV series are also very high, and it is not possible to support the scene with a few small fresh meats.
It's not easy to make a classic.
Look at those popular superstars today, who didn't have a classic TV series when they were just starting out? Otherwise, how can you become famous and popular?
Therefore, in order to make this TV series classic and high-grade, and to have high ratings, the above two failures are all things that Zhou Yi wants to avoid, and the crew must try to avoid.
Director Wan is very experienced, so naturally he will not make this kind of mistake.
Now that there are enough outstanding newcomers in the crew, and they are also somewhat famous, like Zhou Yi and Qiu Cao have both starred in movies, and Tang Yan's appearance is so high, as long as the plot is filmed well, there is no guarantee of ratings, and the remaining roles must choose some old drama bones, and the quality of acting skills must be strengthened. In this way, the cooperation of the old and the new can comprehensively improve the grade and reputation of the TV series.
As for whether to suppress the drama or not, how many viewers can see it?
Those are all issues that don't have to be considered at all.
National art and dance competitions, girls tearing up, is the selling point, so do you need acting skills?
Director Wan explained his opinions and requirements in detail, and everyone present was very satisfied.
Zhou Yi even feels that the old director is indeed stable, no matter whether he can shoot new ideas or not, the key is that he is sober and never makes mistakes.
The old director is not old and confused, this is enough, Zhou Yi has nothing else to ask for.
In addition, the rental of the filming venue is also a top priority, because this drama does not only involve campus scenes, it is not just a school to rent, there are many competitive competition scenes in the play, if you want to shoot good visual effects, you need a larger stage.
Producers and assistant directors in charge of this work should try their best to find a good place.
Director Wan put forward his own requirements, and naturally there are relevant personnel to do it.
Which school to rent should also be finalized as much as possible.
According to the script, the school building must be trendy and fashionable, and it is best to choose a newly built school.
Those dilapidated and old, old and ugly old architectural schools naturally do not meet the aesthetic requirements of TV dramas.
As for the national art troupe and dance troupe to cooperate, the requirements are the same, to finalize the cooperation object as much as possible.
The crew's preparatory meeting lasted a morning, and all the work was finally arranged.
In this way, the crew can be regarded as officially preparing.
There weren't too many things for Zhou Yi in the whole process, he and his sister just sat quietly and listened to understand the situation. After all, his identity, whether it is a boss or an actor, is not suitable for messing around with these professional issues, that is not good. Boss Huang, who accompanied him next to him, was the same, attending the meeting just to show his attention, but only with ears and rarely spoke.
Professional things should be left to professionals.
Zhou Yi could only sit patiently all morning. Only then did he know that it was no wonder that Zhuo Qinglian was reluctant to come, he must have known that she had nothing to do with coming. If you can't involve yourself, who wants to have a meeting to play?
However, Zhuo Qinglian can be lazy and not come, but Zhou Yi is the starring role, of course, he can't help but come to understand the situation.
He could only stay up with his sister and accompany everyone through a meeting.
After the successful completion of the crew's preparatory meeting, Boss Huang invited everyone to dinner at noon, and Zhou Yi and his party naturally wanted to participate. can eat for nothing, even if you didn't come in vain today. Zhou Yi and Boss Huang naturally had a pleasant exchange and had a good conversation.
During the banquet, Zhuo Qinglian also called Zhou Yi to inquire about the situation.
But there's really nothing going on here.
Now that the film crews and TV drama crews on both sides are well prepared, the rest can be handled by the director and producer, and Zhou Yi doesn't have to worry about it at all, he is naturally very relaxed and in a comfortable mood.
Zhuo Qinglian also informed Zhou Yi about the box office situation yesterday and Tuesday.
Tuesday's box office collected 4 million Chinese yuan in a single day, and the single museum 3,940 Chinese yuan, the results rose steadily, and the box office of a single museum almost exceeded 4,000 Chinese yuan. This is a weekday result, or the result of thousands of theaters, which is really cool!
It seems that the news that major newspapers reprinted the "youngest national art eight sections in history" is indeed very hype at the box office.
This move is considered to be the right move, and it is necessary to make a contribution to the director Dong Yiwu who made suggestions.
The credit of the sisters is also great, and they must be rewarded, but what is the reward?
Do you want to give them autographed photos? Hey!
Zhou Yizhen will be cranky.
Just don't send fruit photos!
After the crew had dinner in the afternoon, Zhou Yi ate and drank to his heart's content, took his sister to say goodbye, did not go to the company headquarters, and returned to school directly.
Now it is important to prepare for the college entrance examination, and the company has Zhuo Qinglian in charge, and there is no need for Zhou Yi.
Next, today and tomorrow, there is no major event that Zhou Yi needs to deal with again, although the company's work is still very busy, but there are executives from relevant departments to deal with it, no need for Zhou Yi to worry, he can't intervene at all, can only sit back and enjoy the results.
The work is progressing in an orderly manner.
Everyone can do their job step by step.
The crews on both sides are preparing, and the work is also very busy.
Zhou Yi didn't go to the studio to disturb, there was no need for the time being, and he wouldn't be in a hurry to meet with Zhong Suiren, an expert in military command. After all, he is going to take the college entrance examination, so he can honestly review his homework in school during this time.
For those professional things, believe in the ability of those professionals.
However, the box office situation of the film, Zhou Yi will pay attention to it in due course.
On Thursday morning, Zhou Yi got Wednesday's box office number, with a single-day box office of 4.5 million Chinese yuan and a single theater of 4,430 Chinese yuan. The box office of a single museum on weekdays exceeded 4,000 yuan, which is indeed a very outstanding result, and it will definitely make Zhou Yi satisfied.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
May 29 is the last Friday of the month. May is coming to an end, and June is coming. Although Children's Day is approaching, this has nothing to do with the Zhou Yi brothers and sisters. Nowadays, the atmosphere of the college entrance examination on campus is getting stronger and stronger.
The college entrance examination is on June 7 and June 8, and now there are only eight days before the college entrance examination.
A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops and horses come to meet, and they are about to squeeze the single-plank bridge!
This is the time to be ready for the battle!
Even if Zhou Yi and Tang Yan don't need too good college entrance examination results, they must pay attention to such a wonderful life event.
After all, the college entrance examination is an important part of life, and it is definitely not to be missed!
The two siblings also want to show off with a super high score!
However, Zhou Yi relied on his modified brain to cheat, which was too bullying, but fortunately, he wanted to go to Yanying and had no direct competition with other students. No matter how much you show off your achievements, you can only go to Yanying to show off, but no one cares there, and it's fun to say!
That kind of place probably only cares about appearance and acting skills!
Many people often look down on artists for being uneducated, sometimes they even read their lines incorrectly, and they don't look up the dictionary.
But everyone learns different things, let you try film and television acting, ordinary people can't do it!
In fact, compared with the upcoming college entrance examination, Zhou Yi is more concerned about the situation of his own films.
Zhengdong's "Five Poison Gates" ushered in a large-scale joint screening of 2,590 theaters across the country for the first time on Friday, and it was the first time to appear on the super stage of the four super mainstream theaters in China. This is the key moment to truly test the film's box office potential and competitiveness. For this film, this weekend's box office rush is also an alternative "college entrance examination"!
For Zhou Yi, this is the college entrance examination that comes in advance!
