【Chapter 28: Ability】(1) Background Theory
Contemporary college students are living in the era of information explosion, but those who are a little active are no longer greenhouse flowers and ivory tower prisoners.
The young talents of the Pingsheng Drama Club quickly survived from the suppressed state and started a debate with Tang Qingyou.
The screenwriter stood up first: "Teacher Tang, or call you Senior Sister You more kindly." You're right, a script is the foundation of a play, and screenwriting is a job that requires the coordination of the relationship between all parties and the expression of the work. However, screenwriting is also a creative act, can't we represent ourselves and have some cultural extension? ”
Tang Qingyou's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Well, this question is very good. And I can answer you right away, of course. The problem is that the purpose of a writer's creation can only be to express himself, and the author does not care whether the audience buys it or not. And what about the creative purpose of the screenwriter? ”
The screenwriter is a smart person, and when he reacted, he was silent.
The producer picked up: "Senior Sister You, our drama is not a simple campus drama, it is a youth drama in incubation, and it is to be commercialized." From a commercial point of view, first, according to the audience reaction of the previous part, the role of the Octopus Witch has been widely applauded and widely concerned, so we will launch a story for this character in the sequel, which is to the audience's liking, isn't this a very normal investment behavior? You say you, as an actor, declined the offer to perform. So, can we ask the art director to come forward and convince the original character actors? If the art director still can't be convinced, you can also ask the art director to help, let's go and invite a suitable actor together, which can be more contrasting or controversial, for example, invite Taiwan's old drama teacher Jin Shijie or mainland star actor Liu Xiaoqing to play, Mr. Jin Shijie once dubbed the role of a goddess in the cartoon "Big Fish and Begonia", and the reverse performance should be amazing; Teacher Liu Xiaoqing is a legend for half a life, and he is full of topicality. Or change the script to a musical and ask Li Yugang to perform in reverse. What do you think? ”
Let Tang Qingyou convince himself, if he refuses, it will be more troublesome, and let Tang Qingyou come forward to invite these outlines to play a negative role...... The producer can be said to have completely defeated Tang Qingyou's army, this series of recruits is high, Tang Qingyou sighed in his heart that the afterlife was terrifying, and he couldn't stop laughing: "Yes, this producer is not wrong!" This trick can be used. Realizing that he reacted too quickly, he immediately steadied himself and asked, "You continue to finish, and I will answer unifiedly?" ”
The producer saw that Tang Qing was about to enter the set, and immediately began to press step by step: "Judging from the reality of today's society, if nothing else, just look at those official account tweets, you can see every day, who and whose background is so good, how difficult it is to produce a noble son from a poor family, etc., what does this mean?" Social class solidification! All success lies in who has more real resources, relationships and back-office. Just like your success, if you don't have a powerful family background and can invest a huge amount of money in you, how can you become the artistic director of Qiao and sit firmly in the first place? And how can you easily come up with a large sum of money to invest in a star musical? As far as we know, your previous work experience in this industry was in the Nanshan Grand Theater, the position is not high, and I believe that the income is not much. ”
Hearing this, Tang Qingyou was a little surprised, and even a little ...... Tired. It turns out that today's children think like this!
The smile on her face slowly shrank and returned to a polite smile: "Seriously, I'm not willing to answer the producer's later question. But I'm glad you're willing to tell me the truth. So, since you asked, I'm going to explain it to you. Actually, I don't want to say much about what my family background is. However, so far, the investment money I have used is not the support from my family, but the income of the years when I served as the deputy general manager of Yida Culture a few years ago. Of course, I was able to be the vice president of Yida, although it had nothing to do with my family background, but it had something to do with my boyfriend at the time. However, most of those incomes are not salary income, but project commissions. The so-called project commission depends on the actual operation ability, for example, you should know that we Qiao Drama Center and Chuxin Network Technology have cooperation. One thing I haven't mentioned is that the reason why they cooperate with us is because I have a revolutionary friendship with the founding team of Chuxin, Mr. Straw Shoes, and those big V teachers. Back then, I knew them when Weibo was just emerging, they went from stragglers to team battles, and I was the trader back then. I don't mention it, because their later achievements are above me, and I don't want to be arrogant. Secondly, and more importantly, I am the art director of Qiao not because my family has money. Mr. Jiang Rui, the founder of Qiao Qiao, didn't know what my family background was, and the first time he met me was in our school, I was invited to perform "Lady of the Sea", and he was invited by the school to attend the performance. Of course, you may have to say that it was because the school leaders valued me very much, so they pushed me to the starring role of Mrs. Sea. But I must state two points, first, the title of 'Queen of Drama' was elected by the campus BBS spontaneously, which is a non-governmental act and is not recognized by the university. Second, my professor, the retired Master Zhanhong, will only recognize students with excellent academic and professional ability, and will not recognize a student who is only from a good family, and I believe that most of the other professors are the same. As a college student, I think the first criterion in the school is still personal ability, I don't know if you recognize it, I don't know, I don't know, are you satisfied with my answer? ”
Everyone looked at each other again, those expressions were still a little slanderous, but in the end, they didn't question Tang Qingyou's personal ability again, after all, this angle was crooked to the end, which angered Tang Qingyou, they completely offended the "food and clothing parents", they are all adults, and these young talents know what to do.
But obviously, Tang Qingyou still hasn't answered, can't this villain be the protagonist?
The producer should be regarded as the existence with the fastest brain turn, and quickly asked the exact question: "So, how do we adjust the production direction for this show?" ”
At this moment, Tang Qingyou felt the weight on his shoulders as a decision-maker. The responsibility of the so-called decision-maker is to lead a group of people with different levels of thought at different interfaces, or even with their own plans, to sail in one direction.
Sometimes, all kinds of different voices are there, and you need to stand on a higher place to coordinate and judge.
Tang Qingyou decisively ordered: "That's it, I'll give you a suggestion." Recommendations at the production level. Change the character setting of Octopus, not as a negative character, but as a three-dimensional character. The so-called three-dimensionalization means that in the text, she is not given a moral definition of good or bad, and the audience is allowed to judge for themselves. Set the story when Octopus was young, but the ending is not her blackening. Or to put it this way, the blackened octopus is just an appearance, for example, you can put a scene at the beginning or end, and the mermaid princess who turns into foam actually returns to the octopus's nest, and the octopus witch asks the mermaid princess if she regrets it, and of course the mermaid princess says no. The octopus witch, on the other hand, nodded with satisfaction and asked her, "Are you willing to take the next test?" If you accept it, I can send you back to the prince, and of course, all the gains will have to be paid, and you will have to pay another price...... Then, we left a mark and could make a third part, about the story of the mermaid princess who returns to the prince, and the prince finally discovers the truth and finds true love. We've made a trilogy. The above is my opinion as the artistic director on the production of this play. Of course, this is a solution that I just came up with, and you can make adjustments based on that. At the same time, as the actor you want to invite, I still have to refuse your kindness. I don't have time to follow the tour for a long time, after all, my main role now is working behind the scenes. But if you need me, I can do it at the premiere, and I can make a cameo appearance in a couple of important performances, so that my name can be listed in the cast. The performance fee given to me can be in accordance with the general starring standards in the industry, and there is no need to make a high budget, but if you want to invite a big star in film and television songs to play the starring role, we may not be able to afford the cost, you can consider young actors who have just emerged from professional colleges. So, is that okay? ”
Finally, there was no objection, and the young talents of the Pingsheng Drama Club asked what they wanted to know in Tang Qingyou's tirade, and also clarified the attitude and opinions of the decision-makers, so they went back to follow the instructions.
Tang Qingyou was like a battle, and he collapsed on the seat for a long time. Finally, he asked Ni Huan'er, who had been silent: "Teacher Ni, am I becoming more and more arbitrary now?" ”
Ni Huan'er shook his head desperately: "Sister You, are you willing to spend so long explaining to these little kids, if you want to be someone else, you would have thrown the plan on the ground and let them pick it up by themselves." I won't say so much at all, let them guess, let them change it over and over again, and change it until they are satisfied. ”
Tang Qingyou listened and laughed: "Teacher Huan'er's ability to abuse people has won my heart!" ”
"Aren't these all tricks I've seen at the Nanshan Grand Theater?" Ni Huan'er also smiled, "Actually, now that I think about it, I am quite grateful to the Nanshan Grand Theater." If I hadn't seen the bureaucracy and its consequences over there, I wouldn't be able to do things now. ”
Tang Qingyou nodded approvingly: "It's an honor to be on the same channel with your thoughts." ”
"I am even more honored to be able to get the support of Mr. Tang, so that I have the opportunity to continue to participate in good projects like today. Every time I add to my resume, it's a case that I can talk about. Even if I can't be as good as Sister You in the future, at least I have representative works in this circle and can survive! This feeling of mixing society with ability is really good! ”
Tang Qingyou was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, she realized that she and these fellow people around her had been setting off for a while, and everyone had gained a lot.
In her heart, she was a little relieved.
