Chapter 8: Finding the Director
Yang Zhen was lying on a chair at this time, shaking a bamboo fan and wearing a vest to cool off! From time to time, Yang Zhen's daughter-in-law Zhang Hong shouted and scolded in the house.
"I know every day that I give people a temper, and I haven't gotten the money yet, what is this called, my mother is married to such a person after eight lifetimes of blood mold!"
There was a tinkling sound in the house, and Zhang Hong did not hide her emotions, smashing pots and bowls.
Yang Zhen felt shameless at first and argued a few words, but as a result, Zhang Hong scolded even more, and he couldn't resist it at all.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Is Director Yang Zhen here?"
Yang Zhen heard someone looking for him and shouted into the house, but Zhang Hong stopped talking and went to open the door.
Outside the door were three young men, one of whom he knew and had been filming under him a few days ago!
"Director Yang, hello, this is my classmate Chen Yi Huang Yu, we are here to visit you today."
"Why are you here at this time?"
"Isn't this the end of filming, I have a friend who wants to get to know you, so I'll bring him to visit you."
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling people, Yang Zhen opened the door and invited them in, and asked, "Is there something wrong with you coming to me specially?" ”
Yang Liang handed over the gifts he brought to Zhang Hong, and Zhang Hong poured all the tea for them with a smile.
"That's the case, I have a drama here, and I want to ask Director Yang to shoot it, I don't know if Director Yang has a schedule?"
"Play, what play, script?"
Chen Yi handed over the script, Yang Zhen turned it over by almost a third, then closed it and threw it on Chen Yi, with an impatient expression on his face.
"This is a sitcom, someone has filmed it before, but the effect is very poor, and the audience doesn't buy it at all."
"Director Yang, why stick to the form, as long as the script is good, the audience is not unacceptable!"
"What are you kidding, do you want me to be a pilot for you, the form is unpopular, what is written, messy, grandstanding. Although I, Yang Zhen, am not a big director, I don't accept all dramas, let's go! ”
"Let's go."
Yang Liang still wanted to persuade him, but Chen Yi pulled him around and left. It wasn't until he walked out of the alley that he asked: "Why didn't you persuade a few words just now, maybe I agreed, you must know that he has no job at all during this time, even if it is to support his family, he has to take it!" ”
Chen Yi smiled and said, "No, I don't want to cooperate with this kind of person who doesn't know how to respect people at all." ”
That Yang Zhen's attitude just now was very rude, relying on the appearance of a senior, and he didn't have the least respect for people, why did he give such a good opportunity to this kind of person!
Chen Yi had made up his mind, and Yang Liang naturally didn't want to say anything. Originally, when he was in the crew before, he actually had a good opinion of Yang Zhen, he also felt that Yang Zhen was a capable person, and he was a little upset about him, but he didn't expect the other party's conduct to be not good!
"Then why don't I go back to school and ask the teacher, the teacher's network must be wider than ours, maybe there is a suitable candidate!"
Chen Yi patted his head, how could he forget all the teachers in the school, this is also the advantage of his class students in this world.
"If you don't say it, I don't even think about it, it's really three stinkers who are Zhuge Liang, thank you, fat man."
"Don't rush to thank you first, it's not too late to wait until these are all done."
The three of them hurriedly went to the house of the teacher Yao Shan, although these three were unknown in the class before, Yao Shan still had some impressions, so he naturally wanted to help.
"I have a candidate here, who has audited our school before, and can be regarded as my student. This person's name is Zhou An, he has graduated for a few years, he is very proficient in the crew, and there is no problem with independent guidance. I'll give you his contact information, and you can just tell him. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Yao."
Yao Shan is a teacher at the School of Drama, and his vision is not bad, and solving the director's matter is a big step towards success. The three of them smiled and said goodbye.
Yao Shan looked at the backs of them leaving, and he could be regarded as having solved one thing in his heart. Zhou An's ability is very strong, but he has never had a chance, and even a few times it was a movie directed by Zhou An independently, but he couldn't even hang a name. Yao Shan knew that he had always wanted to help him, but he didn't expect to send Chen Yi, which was really a double win.
After that, Chen Yi made an appointment with Zhou An to meet alone, and from the conversation, he knew that this senior brother was very capable, if he hadn't had a chance to come out, he wouldn't have let himself pick up a bargain.
Zhou An read the script, but felt a little amazing, not quite the same as a regular sitcom, there is a lot of bread in it, it is easy to capture the audience, and it has the potential to explode, but I didn't expect such a good script to be created by the young man in front of him, I really underestimated him!
Zhou Anxin is optimistic about Chen Yi, plus there is a teacher to pull the strings, what else is there not to agree!
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"Happy cooperation, senior brother."
"Actor, do you have any ideas?"
This is a convention, there is no drama where some people will not be stuffed in, as long as it is within the tolerance range. Chen Yi is the main person in charge, of course, based on his opinion!
"There are two roles left for my classmates, and if the other senior brother is not selected, I will audition for selection!"
"Okay."
With the addition of Zhou An, the efficiency is really much faster, the lighting, photography team, and actors. A week later, "Love Apartment" was launched.
It was very low-key, so he ripped a piece of red cloth, and there was nothing else.
Everything in the crew was dominated by Zhou An, Chen Yi was watching from the side, and he did not participate. The main thing is to learn more from Zhou An's experience as a director.
Zhou An skillfully commanded the photography and lighting, staring at the screen, holding the walkie-talkie in his hand at any time.
Actor Zhou An recommended two, and the others were all selected from auditions, all of whom were students of the School of Drama.
Yuan Li plays Hu Yifei, Zhang Yanyan plays Chen Meijia, Sun Pingxin plays Lin Wanyu, Zhou Mei plays Little Aunt, Hu Kai plays Lu Ziqiao, Lan Qiao plays Lu Zhanbo, and Xu Jie plays Zhang Wei.
Except for Yuan Li and Lan Qiao, the others are all newcomers, and it is inevitable that they will be nervous when they are the leading actors for the first time, and the other is the laughter, there are too many laughs in it, and the actors can easily laugh at the scene, and sometimes it takes many reshoots to pass.
According to the memories of his previous life, Chen Yi often told them dramas, and the fat man and Yang Liang were not surprised, so they could only attribute everything to Chen Yi hiding too deeply.
It was Zhou An who was also shocked. He can see more things, Chen Yi not only has good acting skills, has a big picture, but the most important thing is that his ideas are very sharp, and the shooting can always reach the best according to his ideas, as if he already has the final image in his head, he can't do it at this level!
