[Chapter 17: Year by Year] (3) Sluggishness
Seeing the exaggerated expressions of the two young actors, Tang Qingyou still chuckled in his heart even though he had a premonition. Next, the two actors vomited two rounds of grooves from the Yizhong Fund and Niu Yiping's team, and they all felt like tears when they talked too much.
The two young actors repeatedly questioned the script, and the actress even said directly: "The lines in there are simply idiots who wrote them!" ”
After Tang Qingyou learned about some specific operations, he finally found the crux of the problem. As a cross-strait and three-place cooperative play, Niu Yiping did not write the screenplay himself, but just hung the name of the chief screenwriter and boldly used a young Taiwanese screenwriter who had never set foot in the mainland to write it. And two of the characters in the play are set to be mainlanders. The screenwriter relied on his limited life experience and infinite imagination to shape the characters and plot, so the plot is comedy enough, and this project is tragic...... As mainland character builders, two young mainland actors actually have to use Taiwanese accents and Taiwanese idioms to interpret ...... The plot is even more mentally retarded and idiot to a certain height, and the heroine, who is defined as a mainland girl, can shout "Oh my God, you actually use a smartphone!" in the play. Such a line made the actor slam the table very seriously. Today's mainland science and technology are changing with each passing day, the economy is taking off, and people's lives are highly convenient, and farmers in the mountains are using smart phones...... The countless details are full of comedy, and the two actors feel deeply inappropriate, but none of the questions they raise are followed - the seniority situation in the crew is serious, and it is not their turn to ask anything.
As outstanding graduates of the acting major of the most well-known colleges and universities in the mainland, the two young actors finally chose to remain silent and complete their work tasks according to the script as professional actors.
Tang Qingyou knows the biggest crux of the problem. After the planning of this project was decided, as the project coordinator, she had never seen what the script looked like, and the producer Ouyang Zhi only defined her at the project operation level, and did not let her coordinate any problems in the production field, but let Ji Simian follow up the content work with full authority. As a professional, Tang Qingyou has always abided by the rules for the division of duties, so he did not overstep his authority. The fact is obvious, as the first party of the project, Nanshan Grand Theater and Beihai Art Base do not have a person who really understands the content to be responsible for quality control. If there is no problem, it is strange!
In front of the two young actors who didn't know the truth, Tang Qingyou still maintained the "face" of his unit first, did not mention the bugs in his own operation and management, and focused his thinking on the present. As the "spokesperson" of the producer's leadership, Tang Qingyou first asked the two actors: "Then why don't you communicate with us in time?" If we had known that there were so many problems earlier, we could have intervened, adjusted, and solved the problems earlier. ”
The two actors both looked at Tang Qingyou innocently: "We reacted to Teacher Ji!" Teacher Ji also knows! ”
Tang Qingyou was speechless for a moment. After appeasing the two actors, Tang Qingyou went to Ouyang Zhi alone to give feedback and communicate solutions. Regarding Tang Qingyou's feedback, Ouyang Zhi was deeply skeptical, and asked her: "What can two young actors understand?" So, Tang Qingyou directly brought the two actors to Ouyang Zhi. After the two beautiful actors complained, Ouyang Zhi finally believed that there was something wrong with the book, so he turned out a thick stack of scripts from her desk and threw it to Tang Qingyou: "You go and see what the specific problems are, and change what should be changed." ”
Tang Qingyou almost rolled his eyes on the spot. You know, at this time, there are less than three days left before the public performance. Fortunately, this is just a stage play script, and it is only about 20,000 words, and Tang Qingyou is confident that he will be able to complete one or two rounds of editing and review work on the same day. If it is a TV series script, it is estimated that Tang Qingyou can only choose to vomit blood and die at this moment.
Tang Qingyou gave up dinner that night, and missed the night to correct dozens of obviously unreasonable mistakes and omissions in the script, and when it was time to go to work the next day, Ouyang Zhi and Niu Yiping, who were still waiting for boarding at Taoyuan Airport, pulled a group, and took pictures of the problems and handwritten opinions they circled one by one and sent them over, in order not to embarrass the "big coffee" Niu Yiping, and also to prove that he is not a class leader, and then he can effectively solve the immediate problem, She also filmed her identity as the "script creation director" of a national film and television project during her tenure at Yida Culture.
Ouyang Zhi was silent the whole time. And the initiator, Niu Yiping, was really anxious, and immediately replied: "I'll board the plane immediately, and I'll arrive at your place in three hours, don't worry about the two of you, I'll hold a crew meeting to solve the problem immediately after I land!" ”
After all, Niu Yiping is a big man in the literary and art circles, and when he said it, he really summoned people to solve the problem as soon as he landed, and specially sent a list of the results to Tang Qingyou.
But so what? Tang Qingyou knew very well that the problems he could find out in one night were just a few words, and they were even more limited, and no literary and artistic production work was turned upside down overnight.
Tang Qingyou once again felt the lethality of "powerlessness" and "soft-spokenness" in the depths of his heart.
But the people at the top have their own perspectives, and who has the time to bow their heads to be the cows. It is said that after this year's operation, the Nanshan Grand Theater has laid the tone of the leading performance venues in the local area, and the high-level executives have been recognized by the headquarters. The position of the top leader of the Nanshan Grand Theater was directly vacant, and Ouyang Zhi was promoted to executive deputy general manager.
It was originally a happy thing, but because Ren Taichu took Gou Liang to make a work report on behalf of the operation center, the annual brand cooperation with Fangshouwang became a classic case, and directly put Gou Liang in the position of deputy general manager. Ouyang Zhi silently vomited a few liters of blood for this. However, at the same time, she finally became the general manager of Beihai Art Base, and she won half a game.
For Tang Qingyou, the change of high-level people is like watching a drama on the stage, and there is no personal feeling. The most important thing for her at this moment is that the premiere of "Chasing Love" will be the last performance of the year at the Grand Theater of Nanshan Grand Theater, and the failure of the project seems to be a sure thing.
However, perhaps people are very different from each other, and everyone's definition of "failure" is completely different. In Tang Qingyou's view, "Chasing Love" was a mess from the beginning of planning, but after the performance, it was praised by the local media for its "original spirit".
Even Weiwei personally made a live broadcast on the day of the premiere, and comforted her like this: "It's better than those who copied it." ”
Tang Qingyou sighed, unable to accept this proposal at once.
Afterwards, Fei Dong's rhetorical question seemed quite interesting: "Could it be that the first drama of the North and South Cinemas in this city, you want to do something earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods?" Do you have that confidence in your team? ”
Tang Qingyou is especially good at introspection at the work level. Immediately understood: "Understood, one step at a time, one by one." ”
"Well, it's teachable." Fei Dong showed an appreciative expression, "I'll give you another word that can be used as a universal plaster in the workplace: slow things are round." ”
Tang Qingyou pondered carefully for a second, and his eyes widened: "Isn't that it, you can drag it out?" ”
Fei Dong laughed out loud: "You said that you are not young anymore, why are you still in a hurry, you are really a wonderful person." ”
"Are you wonderful?" Tang Qing went back leisurely, "I think back then, the ace producer of the Pingsheng Drama Club, the baboon, the people in the rivers and lakes called the owner of the Water Curtain Cave, are famous for his popularity, have you forgotten?" You told me that you were looking forward to continuing the project with me, and as a result, I have already started to try to return to the operation of the original repertoire, what about you? What have you been doing for the past six months? It's just a general manager in front of him, acting in accordance with management regulations and processes, and if something goes wrong, 'things will be done slowly', right? ”
Fei Dong was probably injured, and he didn't contact her for many days when he went back.
Tang Qingyou complained to Minglan about Fei Dong: "My so-called senior brother, now that he has been the leader for a long time, he can't stand a word, and if he says a word, he will be angry for several days!" ”
Ming Lan smiled and explained on behalf of Fei Dong: "You really wronged him." He's busy reorganizing the Pingsheng Drama Club at school! Huayi Cinema Line and the School of Humanities, the School of Arts and the School of Communication have signed a four-party countersign to create a ministry-level youth literary and artistic creation base, and set up a series of student work incubation plans. ”
Tang Qingyou was completely choked, it seemed that he still underestimated Fei Dong!
Just as Tang Qingyou was thinking about what to do next, Minglan suddenly asked her, "Is there one of you named Ouyang Zhi?" ”
Tang Qingyou had barely mentioned the names of the company's leaders in front of Minglan before, even if the topic was mentioned, it was nothing more than vague words such as "boss" and "female boss", when Minglan mentioned Ouyang Zhi's name, Tang Qingyou was really a little surprised, and replied: "The previous vice president has just been promoted to executive management. Do you know? ”
Minglan waved her hand: "What do I know her for?" I heard that I've been quite close to Lao Zhang recently, so I asked casually. ”
This is like the rhythm of asking casually, Tang Qingyou smiled: "Mr. Wen likes this paragraph?" After speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sister Lan, I lost my words, and I will punish myself with three cups!" ”
Minglan waved her hand and confessed herself: "Don't be too surprised when you see the two of them really come together one day." I've been talking about Lao Zhang's divorce certificate for several years. It's just that over the years, he has been bent on climbing up and maintaining his image. As for me, for the sake of the child, I just messed it up. In the past two years, my children have been in school in the UK, they are very independent, and they have understood the problems between us. I'd also like to make it public sooner. ”
Tang Qingyou was even more convinced that he was really not an ordinary dull.
