Chapter 42: The "Supporting Characters" (Part I)
After this frank exchange with Wen Liang, the relationship between the two has risen to a new level.
In fact, to a large extent, this is also what He Tianran has to do, the relationship between the company and the artist, or the relationship between him and Wen Liang, must be maintained, and now although Gangcheng Yingna has the investment of Shanhai, it is only a small company in the final analysis, and the only one who can take the shot is Bai Lingye, so it is urgent to improve the lineup of its artists.
But people are not commodities after all, it's normal to have emotions and character flaws, and now Wen Liang doesn't talk to Li Lan in the company, and the latter is also very troubled by this girl's personality, and he doesn't dare to give too many resources, because if you are popular that day and have a backbone, it is better to hide you directly now.
Therefore, what Li Lan couldn't do now fell on He Tianran.
Since He Tianran bets on Wen Liang, the future star of the rouge horse, will definitely shine, then now it is time to play the emotional card, play the emotional card, give money when it is time to give money, do a good job of emotional work first, and then things will naturally go smoothly.
Now that the investment has come to an end, He Tianran once again shifted his usual focus to the crew, and the actor's interview work continued, but the next day, Yao Qingtao brought bad news.
"Teacher Zhou Jingsong, who originally played Yu Guozhu, may not be able to come, saying that your school will not let people go.
"The school won't let people go?"
"yes, why don't you talk about it again?" ”
As soon as He Tianran sat down, he made a difficulty.
"The Wild Heart" is not only romance, but a large part of its plot has suspense detective elements, especially after the middle and late scenes enter the capital from the rivers and lakes, and some court dramas, although they are certainly not rigorous enough compared with historical dramas, but this part of the drama also needs some old drama bones to support the scene.
There are two very important roles, one is the emperor, and the other is Yu Wen's father Yu Guozhu, and at the same time, he is also the biological father of the heroine Song Wuxie.
For such an important role, He Tianran first thought of some old actors he knew in the film academy, and the teacher Zhou Jingsong in Yao Qingtao's mouth was the vice president of Wen Liang's acting academy, acting professor, and national first-class actor.
This is the reassurance that He Tianran asked his mentor to brush his face several times.
"There are many charters in the film academy, and Mr. Zhou wears many hats, so there is no way to come suddenly, after all, the start time was not set at that time, and we only made a verbal agreement, I'll go back to the school another day and ask, you let Sunset paste Yu Guozhu's character information first, and I also asked Li Lan to contact similar old actors."
Yao Qingtao added: "Okay, but Mr. Zhou casually mentioned a person over there, so that we can try it, saying that it was a student he had brought before, would you like to call him over to try it?" ”
"Students? Mr. Zhou hasn't taken students for seventeen or eighteen years, no matter how his students say, they are all forty years old, are they famous in the circle? ”
"No, I checked, there is a very concise Du Niang encyclopedia on the Internet, which has not been updated for many years, and most of the works I participated in are Cantonese dramas made by Hong Kong City TV in the early days."
"Huh, "Riding a Dragon and Wearing a Phoenix"?"
Yao Qingtao was taken aback: "Ah, Director He, do you know?" ”
"Ouch, childhood memories come, I remember the mantra of the protagonist in the play, called'There must be a day when the dragon wears the phoenix, don't believe in the world pants wear holes', and later the port city advocated speaking Mandarin, this kind of self-made vernacular drama is almost extinct, what is the name of that person?"
"Sun Zhangwen."
"Huh?"
"What, you know?"
"It's a bit of an impression, but people can't remember who it is, call me in the afternoon, and let me know when Sunset starts meeting."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"Help me ask Hu Yue to come to the company, let's meet today, and there is ......"
He Tianran deliberately sold a pass, Yao Qingtao listened attentively to his next words, and only listened to this guy say:
"Am I ...... Should I really hire a secretary or ...... Give you a raise? ”
"Huh~" When Yao Qingtao heard this, she squeezed out a disgusted voice in her mouth, and said: "Then you should give me a salary increase, anyway, I don't have much to do after the surfing line is busy, and you will start filming immediately, you will not be here for half a year, you recruit a secretary, do you follow you to the crew?" ”
When He Tianran heard this, he exaggeratedly said:
"Wow, with an employee like you, it's no wonder that I don't get rich."
"Virtue ~ salary increase!"
Yao Qingtao took a sip, turned around and walked out of the office.
After two hours, when the meal was ordered, Hu Yue, who had stayed in the mustache, came in with a bag on his back and pushed the door with a smile.
The three episodes of the script that he edited before were unanimously praised by the entire screenwriter's team, so the rest of the script polishing work was naturally wrapped up by him.
He Tianran was packing his things and preparing to go out to eat, and when he saw him coming, he took the opportunity to say:
"Just in time, going to dinner?"
"Okay."
In a large park like Zhuguang Lane, there are generally several public canteens, and the business is very easy to do, because not only the employees in the park have to eat, but also the actors who come to audition from outside have to eat, so a little meal is like a university canteen, and the cost is not expensive, and the Chinese fast food is only fifteen yuan for two meats, one vegetable and one soup.
The cafeteria was overcrowded, and He Tianran didn't have any shelves, so he took the dishes and took the plate to find a place for a circle, so he simply found a cool place outside to sit on the ladder, Hu Yue saw that the boss was like this, so he didn't pay much attention to it, the two just sat together, no different from the passers-by and actors who came out to eat between auditions.
"How's it going?"
He Tianran picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, and then took a bite of rice.
"It's fast, I've written thirty episodes, and I can finish it by the end of this month at the latest, Mr. Aliu, they write very solidly, and I can get it up quickly."
"Okay, but I value quality more than speed, I called you over today, one is to ask about the progress, and the other is to have a job, I want to ask you about the time."
Hu Yue ate his fish-flavored shredded meat, and when he heard that there was work, his eyes lit up, and he immediately swallowed the food in his mouth.
"There's time, there's so much time, what kind of work, script or copywriting? I can do it all. ”
He Tianran was amused by his eager appearance, and said with a smile:
"You eat slowly, and you don't listen to what is going on and say you have time."
Hu Yue didn't care and said: "Writing things can't delay anything else, as long as it's not writing online articles, I have time." ”
He Tianran said strangely: "Didn't you start by writing online articles?" Why are you still disgusted? ”
"It's not disgust." Hu Yue explained: "The main thing is that this thing has to be updated every day, and you can't do anything else once you write it, and it's still long, and you can't finish writing it in a year and a half, so it's better to write a script, at least you can have time to revise and change something, and you can earn more. ”
He Tianran nodded: "Then do you still have a serialized now?" ”
"Yes, but this month, in order to write our script, I took four or five days off, and the manuscript has been sent, and the readers are whipped every day......
Listening to Hu Yue, who was pouring bitter water, He Tianran said lightly:
"Then go straight to the eunuch."
"Huh?"
""The Ambition in the Heart" will start at the end of the year, and it is estimated that it will take half a year to shoot, I want to bring Mr. Aliu and you to be the screenwriter of the group, originally Mr. Aliu is alone, she is the first time to be a screenwriter, and she wants to follow the whole process, so the main line does not need anyone else, but she is slow, and the screenwriter of the group mainly needs a adaptation according to local conditions, which is different from writing with a stuffy head in the early stage, so I will consider letting you give her a hand."
He Tianran said slowly.
The importance of the position of screenwriter varies from drama to drama, just like the last filming of "A Thousand Knots of the Heart", the company's screenwriting team was not yet formed, so the main body of the script was handed over to a well-known screenwriter studio outside for adaptation, He Tianran was only responsible for checking, because the budget was limited at that time, and it was impossible for a famous screenwriter to accompany the crew all the time, so when the filming officially started, He Tianran basically finished work in the early stage and changed the script in the hotel every day.
It's not that he, as a director, has better ideas and must change them, but that the script will definitely be different from the actual shooting, which is unavoidable, either use money to smash out the effect in the text, or can only change it.
No matter how artistic the screenwriter is, how can he write personal emotions and then invest in it, and when the script starts filming, it is a guiding text, how can this text be realized? The screenwriter wrote that the atmosphere was full of flowers, golden lotuses on the ground, and extremely wonderful, and when he arrived at the scene, the photographer would still ask where was the machine frame? The actors still ask me how to act.
At this time, in order to avoid the director's head exploding on the spot, the importance of the screenwriter with the group is reflected.
Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, now that Ah Liu has joined in the whole process, plus Hu Yue's words, He Tianran should save a lot of energy.
Hu Yue stood up when he heard the "poof", and was very excited:
"Yes! That's great! I can run with such a crew, I also write a ghost online article, I will send a eunuch announcement now, the reason is that I was raised by a rich woman and I don't want to work hard! ”
“…… Whew~"
He Tianran shook his head with a smile, he didn't care about him, with Hu Yue's help, he was also in a very good mood.
Hu Yue sat down again, put the meal aside, fiddled with his mobile phone in his hand, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, Dao'er He, I heard that you recently accepted Wen Liang's company?"
"It's not accepted, it's shareholding, where did you hear the news? Ah Liu, or Wen Liang told you? ”
"No, I first saw Bai Lingye's vlog, and then I confirmed it with Sister Liang and Ah Liu."
"Ah, that's it......" He Tianran was eating a dish, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong, turned his head and asked, "Do you still watch Bai Lingye's vlog?" ”
Hu Yue's face suddenly turned red, "I...... I'm an old fan of her, I was a fan of her when she posted a vlog on Xiaopo Station before she debuted, and a large part of my admission to film school was also influenced by her. ”
He Tianran was stunned for a long time, and held back a sentence:
“…… it, you can. ”
"Yes!" Hu Yue was even a little complacent, and then asked very restrainedly: "Director He, isn't she the protagonist of your last play?" You're her boss again, so won't you ......?"
"A cameo, huh? Yes, I haven't thought about the scene yet, because it wasn't arranged at the beginning, so her role may have been written by you personally, and if you want to meet her, I'll go to their company for a meeting when I'm free, and you can meet with me. ”
As soon as He Tianran finished speaking, he originally thought that Hu Yue would be even more excited, but he didn't expect that for this proposal, the other party became rational instead.
"Well, it must be a great honor for me as a fan to help her write a play, not if we meet...... Forget it, it's better to keep a little distance, it seems that Sister Liang and I are very familiar with it, so I don't have any star filters when I see her now, I have rarely been a fan of a person for so many years, so it's better to let her live in my imagination. ”
He Tianran nodded approvingly: "Hu Yue, you are quite sober, I think Lingye would definitely feel very happy if she knew that there were fans like you." ”
"Oh, Director He, you can call me Xiucai, and my full name is weird."
After the two finished eating the Chinese food, Hu Yue took out a pack of seven-star blueberries and lit them for each other, He Tianran spit out smoke and said:
"By the way, when we met for the first time, didn't you think the role of Yu Wen was very interesting, in fact, I thought so too, so I gave this role to Wen Liang, did she tell you in private?"
"No, your cast hasn't been announced, and she won't leak it in advance...... Are you asking her to play Yu Wen? Ouch this ...... It's really ......."
Hu Yue said in surprise when he heard this, but the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
He Tianran raised his eyebrows:
"How's that, it's interesting!"
"Interesting...... That's so much fun! ”
Hu Yue smoked a cigarette and muttered to himself, some of the micro-expressions of people can't deceive people, it can be seen that he really agrees with He Tianran's choice, and he also has a lot of ideas in his heart, it is estimated that the two of them have chatted in the afternoon.
"Director He, in fact, I have one more thing I want to tell you."
"What?"
"That's it...... Is there a shortage of photography in the group? I have a friend...... If you graduated from the photography department, can you come here and work as a co-pilot or group B photographer or something? ”
He Tianran guessed his mind at once.
"You mean that Cai Cassia, Cai She, right?"
"Yes, it's him, Director He, have you cooperated?"
"I also found him last time when the surfing line was cool, but he was talented...... You're a ...... Lack of great virtue...... It's fun to have fun, isn't it? ”
Hu Yue knew that his mind was exposed, and he smiled "hehe" in his mouth.
He Tianran still remembers that the last time Hu Yue chatted with him, he clearly said that the photographer named Cai Cassia had a campus romance with Gu Qiaoman, the leading actor this time......
Thinking about it this way, He Tianran, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, was still a little itchy in his heart.
"Do you have any big enmity with this Cai Se?"
He Tianran asked curiously.
"No, no, no, we have an iron relationship! University of a dormitory! Cohabitation for four years, you think. ”
Hu Yue waved his hand again and again, but the smile on his face had betrayed his heart.
Oh, Hu Bian and Cai ......
This is really a pair of bad friends.
