Chapter 15: Crew Registration
On the way, Xi Wei was really like a caring little secretary, and dutifully reported what she learned to the boss. Zhou Yi was busy with the college entrance examination earlier, and he really didn't know much about the school rented for the filming of the TV series, but after listening to Xi Wei's introduction, he got a general idea.
This "Jiahua" performing arts school has a lot of history.
It is the latest private school for performing arts under K. Wah Education Media Group, which charges a lot of fees and has not yet recruited full students, and is in the early stage of development, but the school building facilities and scale are very good, and the investment is in place in one step.
No wonder Director Wan can fall in love with this school and is willing to cooperate.
There are many such art schools in the industry, but there are not many high-grade and large-scale, only a few. They are a useful addition to performing arts colleges. Those higher art institutions have very few students every year, but now that the entertainment industry is so hot, other children who want to study art, or some practitioners in the industry who want to return to the furnace for further study, must always have a suitable place. Even some stars in the industry are difficult to be admitted to Yanying Chinese Opera.
This kind of private school naturally has the soil for survival, which is equivalent to the big blue Xiang in the entertainment industry.
What's more, celebrities have to start with dolls.
Nowadays, many artists are cultivated from a young age.
Many parents have the idea of hoping that their children will become stars, but Yanying's schools do not have juvenile classes and high school classes.
This kind of private school can provide a place for those parents who have star dreams or have money and no place to spend their dreams. In fact, it is not difficult to enroll students in art schools, how many high schools are there in the country, and how many art schools are in this kind of high-grade, too few, and completely incomparable.
Although the vast majority of students take the normal college entrance examination route, Huaxia is so big, there are always some special circumstances, and there are also many students who like to specialize in art, and they need such private art schools. All roads to success do not have to take the college entrance examination.
If you really want to take this path of acting stardom, what does it help to learn a bunch of mathematics, physics and chemistry?
Chen Kun can play Qian Xuesen, but he really knows how to build rockets?
Or is it like Tang Yan, who is going to take the college entrance examination transcript to pretend to be slapped in the face in the future? This is not Tang Yan's problem, it is that the parents are not at ease, of course, they want her to study hard, even if she can't pass the Yanying exam, there is a way out. Even if there is an aunt in Yanying, Yanying is not opened by Tanya, so naturally you have to think about it more. It's not the fault of the parents, most parents are very conservative and plan for their children, which is understandable.
In contrast, Tang Zhengnan and his wife are enlightened.
In fact, this kind of private school is not a fraud of money, and sometimes it can really cultivate some star students. If you want to make a name for yourself, you must always set up a memorial arch. Moreover, such private schools often have deep ties to the industry and can help students find jobs. This is especially important. Working with the griffin crew this time also provides a lot of opportunities for the students. Outstanding students can perform well, but it is not impossible to stand out.
Even if you can't get a graduation package, it's easy to find a job, which is also the school's ability.
Although the state does not currently recognize such private school diplomas, the industry can do so.
The quality of acting skills does not only depend on the diploma, but also depends on one's own ability.
According to Xi Wei, because of the background of the K. Wah Education Media Group, if the development of the school goes well, it may also develop in the direction of a private art institution of higher learning, and can establish a more professional art education and research major.
Although it is impossible to develop into Yanying, Chinese opera, and Shanghai opera, it has a promising future.
At present, the group is also seeking support from the State Education Commission for behind-the-scenes public relations.
How does Xi Wei know about these secret things?
It is estimated that Zhuo Qinglian secretly did a background check, asked the little secretary to remember, and came to sue Zhou Yi.
However, it is good to understand a little about these situations, and Zhou Yi does not pay attention to them. When he goes there, he is an actor and filming, not to go to school. Don't worry about anything else. The relevant cooperation is all handled by the crew, and he does not need to come forward.
This "Jiahua" art school is located in Changping District.
Changping District is adjacent to Chaoyang District and Haidian District in the south, the headquarters and studios of Zhengdong Pictures and Griffin Media are in Chaoyang District, and Zhou Yi and Tang Yan's uncles and aunts live in Haidian District, so it is quite convenient to come and go.
Xi Wei said that she had been there beforehand, and the campus environment was really good.
It is adjacent to the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs and the Ming Tombs Reservoir, the school has beautiful scenery, fresh air, is a garden-style school, covers a wide area, has a tendency to develop to institutions of higher learning, and the school building is very novel and chic, all kinds of facilities are first-class, the conditions are really good, very suitable for TV drama filming. There are also many universities around, and it is a great place with a strong cultural atmosphere.
Listening to Xi Wei's introduction, Zhou Yi nodded again and again, knowing in his heart.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yi and his entourage officially arrived at Jiahua Art School.
Today's main job is to familiarize yourself with the campus shooting environment and meet the crew.
Zhou Yi also called Griffin's Producer Zhang and Director Wan in advance to inform him.
In fact, the news conveyed by Zhuo Qinglian has already been received over there, so naturally there is no problem.
The Land Rover drove directly into the campus.
The campus security guard received a phone call from inside and put Zhou Yi and his party in. Zhou Yi paid attention to the surrounding campus environment on the way, and sure enough, the scenery was pleasant and beautiful, and it was used to shoot campus idol dramas, which couldn't be better. What Xi Wei said earlier was not an exaggeration. At this time, the Land Rover drove directly into the accommodation area. Director Wan and Producer Zhang were already waiting there, and Pei Hao, the artistic director of the crew, was also accompanied to greet them.
Everyone met and greeted each other.
Director Wan was very satisfied with the fact that Zhou Yi's brothers and sisters could report to the crew so quickly. This at least shows the professional attitude of the brother and sister, very dedicated, no boss frame, easy to cooperate, worthy of recognition. Director Wan and others also asked about the college entrance examination with great interest.
Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good.
Next, Director Wan still has a job, so he won't accompany Zhou Yi's brothers and sisters, and let Producer Zhang and Director Pei help arrange the dormitory and settle down first. The school dormitories are all the same, nothing to find fault with, and they are not hotels. The allocation of rooms is basically to arrange the artists of a company together as much as possible, which is more familiar and more convenient.
The dormitory of this art school is good, with four single rooms and a small living room, which is similar to Zhou Yi's high school dormitory.
The accommodation conditions can be compared with the national key high schools, which is very good.
According to Producer Zhang's arrangement, Zhou Yi and Teng Tiangang, as well as the other two male artists in Zhengdong, Tang Wang and Lin Yan live together. Tang Yan lives with her assistant Xi Wei, along with Qiu Cao and her female assistant. The leading actors live together, which is also the proper meaning of the title.
The whole crew lives in a dormitory area, and it is impossible to divide the male and female dormitories, which is too troublesome.
With this arrangement, Zhou Yi and Tang Yan were very satisfied.
Xi Wei only needs to accompany Tang Yan.
Teng Tiangang naturally has no opinion.
Zhou Yi only hopes that his sister and Qiu Cao usually live together and will not have conflicts, but I hope they don't tear them up in private.
This kind of thinking is really redundant, Tang Yan won't do that.
Everyone Qiu Cao has made movies, and he will have some demeanor.
Besides, the two women have backers behind them and understand things, how can they tear up so easily?
Zhou Yi is not worried, there is no need to deliberately remind his sister, I believe that my sister can handle it properly. If you don't even have this bit of communication skills, then don't get mixed up in the industry. He wants to give his sister a chance to exercise, and he can't protect her in everything, so how can he grow?
Producer Zhang first took Zhou Yi and others to the dormitory to have a look, took the dormitory key, and put away the backpack and personal belongings.
These things were done very quickly.
Originally, any assistant could do these things, but Zhou Yi's identity is different, and Producer Zhang will naturally accompany him throughout the whole process and can't be lazy. Boss Huang will not come over in person, Producer Zhang is the person in charge of the griffin aspect of this project, and he naturally has to contact Zhou Yi more.
At present, this art school has not yet recruited students, and it has just begun to develop, and the student dormitories are naturally very redundant, and there is no problem for the crew to live. Anyway, the crew has to spend money to rent a school, but it's relatively cheaper.
If this TV series can be broadcast in the future, it is estimated that this art school will become famous, and even some of the students who participated in the performance can be somewhat famous. This is good for the development of the school. I guess that's what the school thinks.
The school must have valued Director Wan's fame and previous brilliant achievements, so they agreed to cooperate. What's more, Zhou Yi and Qiu Cao are not unknown at present, "Five Poison Gate" is being screened, and "Assassin Nie Yinniang" is also being released. Qiu Cao can play with Hua Qing, and he can partner with Lou Degua, which is very topical. For a youth idol drama, with Zhou Yi and Qiu Cao, it is impossible to smash it. In this way, the school agreed to cooperate, which is very calculated. Zhou Yi doesn't care about these, as long as it's good for the crew, everyone can be mutually beneficial.
The environment is really nice and impeccable.
Zhou Yi accompanied his sister to put things away, and then, he could walk around. Unfortunately, several actors who are familiar with each other are not there. The crew hasn't officially started filming yet, and the actors won't stay here forever. Lin Yan also has to take acting classes during the day.
However, Zhou Yi happened to meet the young actor Liang Jiaren who played Edison Zheng.
Producer Zhang and Director Pei are very familiar with the actors, so introduce them to each other.
Liang Jiaren is not very old, that is, the age of graduating from high school, about the same as Zhou Yi, with good looks, and more in line with the characteristics of the role in all aspects, otherwise he would not have been selected by Director Wan. But didn't he take the college entrance examination?
Zhou Yi was very interested and chatted with Liang Jiaren for a while.
It turned out that Liang Jiaren was a student of this Jiahua Art School, but he was not an ordinary student and had some background. He is a trainee sent by a brokerage company in the industry, "Jewel Star", to entrust Jiahua Art School for training.
Now he has just finished class, and the dormitory is also here, just happened to run into Zhou Yi and them.
According to Liang Jiaren, he is a half-way monk and his academic performance in high school is not good, and it just so happens that there is a cousin at home who works in a crew and works as a small field worker.
Unexpectedly, his performance was quite aura, and he was photographed by the agent of a "Jewel Star" who was present at the time, so he pulled him to Jewel Star to sign a contract.
In fact, that crew is a crew that Jewel Star provides packaging services.
It is not surprising that there are agents of this company on site.
In this way, Liang Jiaren went to Jewel Star, but his academic performance was not good, he was not a native of Yanjing, and he couldn't take advantage of the college entrance examination, which was enough, and he didn't take the art exam. Even if I participated, it was sad, it was not so easy.
That's a real single-plank bridge.
His aspects are not particularly outstanding and cannot be revealed.
Jewel Star simply arranged for him to come to the newly established Jiahua Art School for training. Unexpectedly, he just caught up with the opportunity for the crew to rent a school for filming, and he also auditioned for Director Wan and got this very important role, which is really lucky. Zhou Yi also felt that he was very lucky. It is very rare for a newcomer to play the male lead in such a potential TV series.
In fact, Liang Jiaren's situation is similar to Lin Yan's, both of them are contracted companies to entrust a private art school for training, but Lin Yan did not receive acting training at Jiahua Art School, but at another well-known local art school in Yanjing.
Manager Zheng of the artist department is responsible for these things, Zhou Yi usually doesn't pay much attention to it, only knows that Lin Yan is receiving performance training, and the training fee of several thousand yuan a semester can't cost the company much money, but the artist will have a good impression and feel that the company is cultivating him with heart.
At this time, Chen Minhao, a young actor who played Gao Fushuai, also returned.
He is also a trainee at the art school.
However, his situation is different from Liang Jiaren, his family is in business and relatively wealthy, but he likes acting, but unfortunately he can't pass the cruel art exam, and he can't be admitted to a higher education institution such as Yanying Chinese Opera at all. As luck would have it, he also got a suitable role this time, which was Gao Fushuai, the president of the student union.
He actually had the opportunity to play against Qiu Cao, could he not be lucky?
Don't look at Qiu Cao as a little newcomer in the circle, but in front of these art school students, he can be regarded as a big star who has acted in movies. Moreover, Qiu Cao is the leading lady that Daqin wants to support, and in terms of status, he is not much higher than these students.
To join this play, Liang Jiaren and Chen Minhao are indeed very happy.
They have watched Zhou Yi's movies and admire Zhou Yi very much, and everyone has something to talk about.
Seeing two actors of the same age and chatting with them for a while, Zhou Yi was very satisfied with the casting work of the crew.
Director Wan's casting is very reliable, and the actors selected are all good, which is considered to be good quality and cheap.
Good quality and low price are Zhou Yi's current casting criteria, and if you don't want to be expensive, you want the price of cabbage.
From this point of view, Zhou Yi has the potential to become a black-hearted capitalist.
If you want to become famous and get on top, you must have the consciousness of being exploited, and even the consciousness of being under the unspoken rules.
In his free time in the afternoon, Zhou Yi was in the dormitory studying Lou Degua's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" episodes. Before the college entrance examination, he didn't have much time to study, but now that the college entrance examination is over, he has time to study it and study his acting skills.
My sister wants to study the script of the TV series, although I have read it earlier, but at that time, I had limited time and could not study it carefully. Now that the college entrance examination is over and filming is about to begin, of course she has to hurry up and study the script carefully, and she definitely doesn't want to be pressed by Qiu Cao.
The little girl is very aggressive!
At present, the crew is still in the preparatory stage, but the actor training is about to begin.
Now that the college entrance examination is over, the two men and one woman all came to the crew on time to report, Director Wan decided to start training tomorrow, and notified Zhou Yi and Tang Yan in the afternoon. Teacher Lin is coming to the crew tomorrow, and the choreography over there is almost there. Director Wan has seen some of them and is very satisfied. Next, Mr. Lin has to conduct strict training for several actresses with dance requirements to ensure the quality of filming.
In this regard, Tang Yan naturally bore the brunt.
Tomorrow, Qiu Cao will also join the crew on time.
In terms of national arts, director Sun Zhankui is taking the martial arts team to design and rehearse.
Tomorrow, Zhou Yi will officially join in, familiarize himself with the routines, and participate in rehearsals.
Zhou Yi and Tang Yan will naturally cooperate fully in these works to strive for perfection.
In addition, in the recent period, Zhou Yi has to take a fixed amount of time every day to learn some classical etiquette of the Song Dynasty royal family related to movies with Mr. Ludher King. For the sake of convenience, Mr. Lu Dejin will personally rush over every day to guide, there is no problem, so as to avoid running around on both sides of Zhou Yi and delaying time. Although this kind of training is a matter for the film crew, it is the same here.
Zhuo Qinglian called Zhou Yi in the afternoon to determine the training time.
During the day, the TV drama crew has work, and etiquette learning can only be held at night.
Mr. Lu is very cooperative, they are all members of the military command, and they don't need to be polite.
And so it was settled.
Aunt Tanya's side has not yet reached the holidays, and she usually has to take students, but she will take time out to come over often to see and guide Tang Yan's performance, and maybe she will bring some senior brothers and sisters over to observe and learn and accumulate experience. That's certainly fine. At present, it is still the stage of crew preparation and artist training, and there is no performance involved, so Tang Yan does not need to worry for the time being.
That's how the current crew work is arranged.
In the afternoon, Tang Yan took the time to discuss the plot with her brother and chatted casually, seeing that the training and filming were imminent, she did not seem nervous at all, but was very excited, high-spirited, and looked funny when she was eager to try.
It's finally time to film, Tang Yan is really looking forward to it.
