Chapter 187: Preparations
"So, what's going on with the two of you?" After Zhang Qiuxi wrote the script, he returned to the DV club and discussed with Ye Cheng and Jiang Xiaoting about shooting a micro-film.
"Fortunately, the club has a credit bonus, and now I don't have to worry about tutoring for so long." Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "However, micro-movies are more troublesome than ordinary online dramas, and it takes longer to produce and shoot." ”
"Lady Sling" can shoot an episode in a day or two, and it is completely impossible for a micro-film to be so fast, not only because of the duration, but also because the overall production requirements are more refined.
Zhang Qiuxi said: "The two of you still have a period of time to graduate, and we have time, no problem." In the future, you will have to make a movie sooner or later, and this micro-film can be regarded as further practice. ”
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy to shoot, but after you squeeze out so much time, what should I do on the Onion News side, I'm afraid I won't be able to be an anchor." ”
"This can allow other people to lead the class, and it's not like nothing hasn't happened before." Zhang Qiuxi has now lost interest in "Onion News", and it is not bad to take this opportunity to let someone else replace him.
"The other members will be able to keep the onion news going." Jiang Xiaoting nodded, picked up Zhang Qiuxi's script and moved away, read out the name with a little incomprehension, and danced lightly.
At the beginning, the red beans also had a lot of objections to this name, thinking that although it sounded elegant enough, it was not suitable for the name of a micro-movie, it was too soft.
But in addition, the names that can be thought of are very vulgar, and the light dance is quite in line with the theme of the story, and more importantly, this name is not a bad street in this world, if Zhang Qiuxi copies "The First Close Contact", I am afraid that countless women will change their screen names to this.
"It's about two women pursuing their dreams of music, and I think the name is a highlight." With the support of Shangguan Jin, it was finally settled like this, and Zhang Qiuxi's first original micro-film story was named "Light Dance and Flying".
"It turned out to be a song and dance film." Ye Cheng and Jiang Xiaoting got together and read the script before they realized the name, and then he frowned and said with a bitter face: "Big sister, this makes me embarrassed." ”
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Not all types are the same. Zhang Qiuxi couldn't imagine why the song and dance film would make Ye Cheng feel embarrassed.
Ye Cheng said: "Of course it's different, other genres can shoot the story according to the script, but in addition to the plot, song and dance are the soul." In the past, we almost always found ready-made background music for Ms. Sling, and our club did not have talents in this area. ”
"Hey, I thought you were worried about something, it's called something?" Zhang Qiuxi said: "You don't have to worry about the soundtrack and songs, I can handle it here, you only need to be responsible for filming and then perfecting it." ”
"I forgot that music is also your forte." Ye Cheng said: "Then there is only one last problem left, there is simply not enough manpower in our DV club, and there are many people who can sing and dance, except for you, there is no one in our club who can sing and dance." ”
The protagonists are played by Zhang Qiuxi and Yang Jie, and the main supporting roles are red beans, but in addition to this, more people are needed to embellish them. The webcast drama can be done by three or five people, but the micro-movie is too shabby, if there are only a few listeners under the stage, how can it look like it?
So first of all, you need a lot of actors, and then you need to dance on stage, on the street and in bars, and the extras are easy to find, and the supporting roles who can dance and look good are more troublesome.
Zhang Qiuxi said: "We have also considered this problem before, you can go to the art academy to find it, where are more professional." With the current reputation of our DV club, as long as we get in touch with Caiyun Art Academy, I am sure they will be happy to provide personnel to assist us. ”
The DV club and the radio station are already well-known, so Western Associated University is also attracting attention throughout the university town, and every move can be of interest to students from other schools. The Academy of Arts is also in the university town, and I must have heard about the DV Society, not to mention that there is Zhang Qiuxi to testify, and the Academy of Arts will not refuse just by virtue of her name.
"If the song is written by Mr. Xiqiu, you can save a sum of money, but the investment in a micro-film in this pattern will only cost more than one million."
Jiang Xiaoting made a rough estimate, and then said: "And the micro-film is also broadcast on the Internet, if you don't attract investment to seek sponsorship, investing so much is likely to have no income at all." ”
Most of the micro movies are just like the previous works of the DV club, just entertaining themselves, and they are not going for the purpose of making money. There are also some promotional films themselves, the purpose of investment is to publicize, it is also not important whether you can make money, and those that can make money are all with the nature of advertising.
That is, to solicit sponsors to find investment, and then implant the investor's advertisement in the work, so that you can make money, at least you don't need to pay out of your own pocket. Spending millions on self-entertainment is not a big deal for Zhang Qiuxi, but since he can make money, why not do it, this money can also be used to donate to out-of-school children in poor areas.
"Ad placement, I don't like this way very much." Excessive placement of advertisements is very disgusting, Zhang Qiuxi said: "I think it's better to find Youshi, although most of the micro movies are free, but there are also a lot of fees, and it is not difficult to attract the audience to pay to watch with our appeal." ”
Even if Zhang Qiuxi doesn't do anything, there are still people who are willing to pay for standing there for dozens of minutes, Youshi has never muttered about her commercial value, and every time she pays for it, it is very refreshing, and this time is no exception. Ye Cheng just called, and the people from Youshi had already come to negotiate the contract as quickly as possible.
What they are worried about is not how much investment Zhang Qiuxi needs, but Zhang Qiuxi does not need them to invest is the most worried. Every time it was a big success before, it took so long for Zhang Qiuxi to make another move, so it's no wonder they don't care.
The contract was negotiated, Ye Cheng and Jiang Xiaoting were busy preparing with the help of Youshi, and there was no problem after the dancers contacted the Academy of Arts, and since the band and other candidates were Yang Jie again, Heipi and others were pulled over to participate in the performance.
Since it is based on music, dance, band, and performance are indispensable elements, and the filming cannot be like "Lady Sling" and start filming directly from a random place, many places need to build their own scenes, and it also takes a certain amount of time to prepare.
――――――
Zhang Qiuxi is not in a hurry about this, anyway, it is not that there is nothing to do, even Yang Jie has returned to the life of going out to sing every day, and she has always been comfortable with it. And Zhang Qiuxi, the story of "Detective Di Renjie" will continue.
At the end of "The Eagle on Spilled Blood", Di Gong corrected the flying dragon envoy who had been lurking beside them, and also exposed the secret of the headless general and found the real culprit, Princess Taiping.
Given the ending, a new story will also begin, and this time she chose "Guanhe Suspicion". The Khitans offended the border, Wu Zetian sent troops to the expedition with the intention of winning, but the 20,000 troops mysteriously disappeared in the operation, and the main force of 100,000 on the other side was annihilated, and the news came back to Chang'an Wu Zetian was furious and ordered Di Renjie to find out the truth.
In fact, Zhang Qiuxi doesn't like this story very much, the reason why she chose this is to lead to the next "Snake Spirit", which is one of her favorite Di Renjie stories, behind both stories is an organization, so it is not easy to swap it.
"You're calm, have you done anything in the studio?" Zhang Qiuxi was thinking about the plot in a daze at the computer, and Hongdou came over with a coffee cup. Ye Cheng and Jiang Xiaoting are in charge of the preparations, but they haven't really formed a crew yet, and they haven't dealt with related companies, so they have a headache.
"I asked him to find the company that filmed the troubles of growing up, and it was not difficult to rent a studio, it should have been done." Set up the final stage in the studio, and the preparations are already completed.
"Now that the film and television industry is so lively, I am looking forward to it more and more, but is there no problem with your script being written like that?" Red Bean's eyes were full of smiles that couldn't be hidden.
"Well, although I'm the author, I'm actually dragged along by the plot, and sometimes when I write to a point, I can only develop like that, and I can't force it around, this is creation." Zhang Qiuxi said righteously and honestly, not admitting that he had private goods in the script.
In addition to their preparations for micro-films in full swing, the film and television industry is indeed very lively, "Truman's World" has been reduced to the minimum in domestic theaters, and it will be painted soon, but this fire has burned to North America. Thanks to the efforts of Lee Chang-hwa, the movie was finally successfully released in North America.
The box office on the day of the premiere was more than 3 million, so it shouldn't be a problem to break 10 million a week, which is the best result of Chinese films in North America in recent years, and Qin Jianghua also paved the way to Hollywood as he wished.
There is also Century Film and Television officially announced the filming of "The Story of the Cooking Class", and after getting Zhang Qiuxi's outline, it took a lot of time to create, and now it is finally done. And when they were on the scene to the outside, they didn't say that Zhang Qiuxi just wrote an outline, and directly said that the screenwriter was Zhang Qiuxi, which can't be considered a lie, it can only be said to be a word game.
Yunxiang Satellite TV also held the launch conference of the third part of "Growing Pains", which is unwilling to make people beautiful, but the most concerned news is Warner Bros. announced that "The Matrix" will be completed.
The liveliness of the film and television industry can be said to be Zhang Qiuxi's liveliness. RS
