"Weitai, this time you are in such a hurry? Why don't you wait for the drama to come out? Fang Xing is still used to filming dramas, and after all major TV stations have seen the finished film, he will talk about the broadcast.

Wei Shurong stopped this time, shook his head and said: "The station has held a meeting to discuss, and I still hope that the poverty alleviation drama of Ark Culture will be broadcast on our station, and it can be opened under any conditions." ”

Fang Xing shook his head and smiled: "What if I shoot it badly?" ”

Wei Shurong said that the best director has been won, how bad can it be?

Of course, he showed a determined expression on his face: "It doesn't matter, no matter what the shooting looks like, we want it." ”

In fact, there are things where TV stations invest in making bad movies, or buy bad movies.

If the quality of the final shot is really worrying, then just press it and not broadcast it.

Or, broadcast it in non-prime time.

Anyway, Donghai Satellite TV needs to complete the task, and it must broadcast a TV series related to poverty alleviation work this year.

However, this quest does not require a time slot to be broadcast.

If the drama is really not good, then it will be broadcast at noon, and the task will be completed after the broadcast.

Anyway, Donghai Satellite TV booked the poverty alleviation drama of Ark Culture in advance, even if it is the worst situation, it will not lose much.

Moreover, the contract that can be signed now is only an intention contract, and the price of the TV series will still be determined after the finished film comes out.

Of course, Donghai Satellite TV also has another option, that is, to directly invest in filming.

Now the competition in the film and television industry is very fierce, TV stations want to invest in filming, and many film and television companies want to cooperate.

It's just that the Ark culture is not one of them.

With the current market of Ark Culture, there is a high probability that Fang Xing will shoot it himself, with the blessing of multiple buffs for the best director and best actor, it is impossible for this kind of project to lack investment.

In fact.

There was no shortage of investment in Ark Culture two years earlier, and if you want to invest in the project of Ark Culture, you have to exchange scarce resources.

After all, a film and television company with 100% profitable production projects can imagine the degree of investment sought-after.

"Weitai, in fact, I haven't even thought about the script, is it too early to talk about the broadcast platform now?" Fang Xing still didn't want to settle down like this.

"Brother Fang, just say it. What exactly are you going to do? Wei Shurong also knows that the new drama project has not yet been officially approved, and even if it is negotiated now, it is impossible to sign a contract.

Wei Shurong ran to the headquarters of Ark Culture, the main purpose was to make a front stop and ensure the advantage of being close to the water.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied, "Weitai, I'll give you a thorough understanding." I really don't have a definite project yet, so I can't give you an exact answer either. As for the broadcast platform, there is a high probability that it will be a multi-channel simulcast. ”

Since "The Pretender", the dramas filmed by Ark Culture, as long as they are on the stars, are all simulcast on multiple stations.

Because of the price of Ark Culture's current TV series, it is difficult for a satellite TV to afford it.

This poverty alleviation drama still has a project supported by the higher authorities, as long as there is no problem with the filming of the drama, there is indeed a high probability that it will be a multi-channel simulcast.

Wei Shurong has been in this industry for so many years, and he is also very clear about this.

He grabbed Fang Xing's hand and said favorably: "This is natural, but Brother Fang has to promise me that if it is a multi-channel simulcast, there must be one of our stations." ”

This request is not difficult.

After all, Ark Culture is indeed an enterprise in Donghai City, and it has cooperated with Donghai Satellite TV for so many years.

If the new drama is to be broadcast on the stars, multiple stations will be simulcast, and it will be brought to Donghai Satellite TV, this can indeed be had.

However, Fang Xing still pretended to be very embarrassed: "Since Weitai has said so, I can only nod." However, I am afraid that when the drama is filmed, Donghai Satellite TV will not broadcast it. ”

Wei Shurong waved his hand: "That's impossible, as long as the drama of Ark Culture is filmed, Donghai Satellite TV will broadcast it." ”

That's certainly what the scene says.

Of course, in the end, whether Donghai Satellite TV will broadcast it or not depends on the quality of the episodes.

The two are now talking about favors, not business.

Favors can be given, as for whether they can cooperate in the end, that is business.

Of course, if favor and business can be put together, it will naturally be complete.

Wei Shurong got a satisfactory answer, and then got up and said goodbye: "Since Brother Fang agreed, then I will wait, Donghai Satellite TV will vacate the schedule in advance, and I will wait for your new drama." ”

Fang Xing agreed: "Okay, Weitai go slowly, do you want to stay and have a meal?" ”

Wei Shurong waved his hand: "No, no, I see that Brother Fang must be very busy during this time, so I won't bother." When shooting, if you encounter something, call me, as long as we can solve it, we will solve it. ”

"Okay, okay, Weitai walks slowly." Fang Xing sent him out.

……

After Wei Shurong left, Fang Xing returned to the office and continued to look through the collected poverty alleviation materials.

Since the poverty alleviation TV series is a task issued by the higher departments, there will definitely be relatively clear goals, so the poverty alleviation materials given by the higher departments are relatively complete.

These materials are mainly the deeds of advanced figures in poverty alleviation work in various provinces and localities, as well as the introduction of the achievements of poverty alleviation work.

Fang Xing has been watching it for a few days.

In these materials, you can indeed dig out a lot of content that can be filmed.

While watching it, Fang Xing will also search for information on the Internet and consider what specific content to shoot.

In fact, Fang Xing already has a rough prototype in his mind, but if he really wants to shoot, it is best to conduct field investigations.

Otherwise, some content may not be filmed, which will be more embarrassing.

Today, Wei Shurong came directly to the company, and it is estimated that other TV stations will also find the company directly.

Fang Xing thought for a while, picked up his mobile phone, and called Guo Chunlei, the person in charge of this poverty alleviation drama:

"Hey, Guo Ju, I'm awake.

"Yes, I have read the information you gave you on poverty alleviation work, and there is indeed a lot of content that can be explored.

"That's how I think about it, I want to go to the field to see it, so that I can determine whether it is suitable for making a drama.

"Yes, I'm going to take the crew over to see it, and if it's appropriate, you can consider the selection of the scene."

On the other end of the phone was Guo Chunlei, deputy director of the State Administration of Radio and Television, and his phone was only given to a few people, one of whom was Fang Xing.

Guo Chunlei was very happy when he heard that Fang Xing already had an idea, and said, "Yes." Which county do you want to visit? I'll get you in touch. ”

Fang Xing flipped the information in his hand to the optimistic page and said, "I currently want to go to Jixi County in Ning Province to have a look. ”

"O Gissy...... There is a lot of wind and sand, and the poverty alleviation work is indeed effective, but the environment there is not good, are you sure you want to go there? Guo Chunlei has read this information, so when he mentions the name of this county, he knows where it is.

"Yes, I'm interested in this place. Poverty alleviation work, how can it not be hard. If it were a rich place, there would be no such thing as poverty alleviation. Since you want to shoot, shoot a remote place. Fang Xing said what was in his heart.

However, whether you can shoot it or not, you have to see it to know.

"Yes, when to go? I'll have someone put you in touch and someone pick you up when the time comes. Guo Chunlei agreed.

"Just these two days. Now that you've decided to do it, get moving. "Fang Xing has always been a resolute character in doing things, and when he decides what he wants to do, he doesn't want to delay.

"Alright, I'll get you in touch later." Guo Chunlei agreed, and then asked the secretary to arrange it.

……

After deciding to go to Jixi County, Ning Province, Fang Xing held a meeting in the company to officially launch the poverty alleviation drama project.

Qiao Yinghong stayed in the East China Sea and was responsible for the formation of the crew.

Fang Xing led the director team and prepared to go to Ning Province for a field trip.

On the day of departure, Lu Xianger was reluctant to hold hands at the airport, looking like she wanted to go with her.

However, the environment in Jixi County, Ning Province is indeed relatively poor, with loess and a lot of wind and sand, so it is impossible for her to go with her.

took the flight to Ning Province, transferred two more buses, and met with the person who picked him up, and then took the car from Jixi County to the county seat to stay.

The next day, Fang Xing took the crew, led by people appointed by the local county, to inspect the local poverty alleviation work.

Because poverty alleviation efforts have been effective, the environment is not as bad as imagined.

And it's by car, even if the environment is bad, you don't have to be it.

I will still go back to the county seat to live in the evening.

It was inspected for two days.

Fang Xing felt that he could shoot, so he discussed the idea of shooting with the director team.

Where was it filmed?

Where will the crew set up camp?

How should you shoot when the wind and sand are strong?

All kinds of issues are discussed.

The director team of Ark Culture is already very mature, and several assistant directors have filmed TV series with similar environments, so they all have experience.

At night, Fang Xing also looked for the locals and asked about the local situation.

I stayed in Ning Province for a total of four days, and I basically read all the content I wanted to investigate.

The rest of the matter can be arranged when the crew officially camps in Jixi County.

Afternoon of the fourth day.

The group left Ning Province and took a flight back to the East China Sea.

When he was at the airport, Fang Xing called Guo Chunlei: "Guo Bureau, I'm sure, I want to shoot the story of Jixi County, Ning Province." ”

Guo Chunlei was a little surprised: "Are you sure?" It's a miserable place. ”

In fact, Guo Chunlei agreed with Fang Xing to go to Jixi County, Ning Province for inspection at first, thinking that he was just going to have a look, and there was no more after reading it.

After all, the environment of that place is really bad.

Unexpectedly, after Fang Xing finished watching it, he really wanted to go there to shoot.

Fang Xing's tone was very firm: "Yes, I thought about it, I will shoot in Jixi County, Guo Ju will help say hello to the local county party committee, and the crew will come over next month." ”

Guo Chunlei thought about it for a while, and felt that it was also very good, of course, the poverty alleviation drama should be filmed in a place with a more difficult living environment, and immediately agreed:

"Okay, no problem, since you want to shoot Jixi County, then let's shoot, you can tell me anything you need, and you can also find the local county party committee."

……

After deciding on the filming location, Fang Xing began to prepare the script.

In fact, when the script was in Jixi County, it had already begun to be prepared.

Next, we need to talk about actors.

Back in the East China Sea, Qiao Yinghong's crew framework has been pulled up, and all that remains is to stuff a suitable team into the crew.

Due to the different episodes filmed, the required service team will also be different.

For example, some of the service teams are good at costume dramas, so they are not suitable for this crew.

This time, many film and television companies are preparing for this poverty alleviation drama, and even some fast ones have already begun to audition actors.

It is no secret in the industry that Ark Culture was named by the higher authorities to make poverty alleviation dramas.

If a drama with this theme is filmed well, the ratings are secondary, and the important thing is to have a chance to win an award.

Therefore, without waiting for Ark Culture to make a casting announcement, there were already many entertainment companies and brokerage companies that mainly approached Qiao Yinghong.

Qiao Yinghong knows a lot of gold medal agents in the circle.

are all old acquaintances, so the agents of many first-line actors are familiar with Qiao Yinghong, and it is common to send a message to inquire about the news.

When Qiao Yinghong reported to Fang Xing, she was going to introduce those actors who could use:

"Boss, Liu Shiying's agent took the initiative to ask if there was any opportunity for cooperation. Liu Shiying has just taken the gladiolus TV, and the popularity of filming dramas at this time must be high. ”

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied, "You can consider it." However, you communicate with them first, this time I almost shot the whole exterior shot, in Gi Si County, Ning Province, and the environment was very poor.

"In addition, I don't accept studio cutouts, important roles need to be with the group throughout the whole process, until the scene is finished, you know these rules, explain them clearly in advance.

"If Liu Shiying really wants to act, let her audition."

Qiao Yinghong started as Fang Xing's agent and became the vice president of Ark Culture all the way, and it can be said that she is the person who knows Fang Xing's style of doing things best.

The requirements for Fang Xing's filming drama, on the surface, are actually the basic qualities that actors should abide by.

However, the environment for internal entertainment is really good.

Due to the existence of the fan economy, celebrities can make money while lying down, and they don't need to work so hard at all.

Therefore, studio shooting cutouts, not reading the script but only reading the numbers, filming multiple dramas at a time, and rolling each other's scenes, these things are common things for popular actors.

The dramas filmed before Fang Xing occasionally encountered this situation.

After that, these terms will be clearly written in the film contract.

Therefore, every time during casting, the director who is responsible for negotiating the film contract needs to repeat these requirements to all actors.

Of course, these requirements are not difficult to implement.

Because a drama is not filmed episode by episode according to the plot, but according to the actor's schedule, the filming time is arranged.

In addition to the starring role, the roles of other actors will be filmed together, and after the filming is completed, the actor can leave the crew even if he is finished.

Therefore, in addition to the starring roles throughout the play, other actors can leave the group for a week or two, and they don't need to stay in the crew for three months.

Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will communicate with Liu Shiying, and then arrange for her to audition." ”

After the poverty alleviation drama project was officially established, Ark Culture issued a casting announcement.

Get ready to start scheduling auditions.

For important roles, when sending out audition invitations, there will also be a character introduction, as well as a script for one or two scenes, so that the actors can experience the character portrait of the character first.
