"This script is expected to have a high investment, the actors can use newcomers, or they can use actors from their own companies, the choice of the heroine should be paid a little attention, and other roles are not demanding. You can put a little thought into martial arts instruction. ”

Fang Xing briefly introduced the script, and then asked Wang Yutao to express his thoughts.

The script had been sent to Wang Yutao a few days ago.

This is also the first opportunity for Wang Yutao to independently shoot a long script.

Wang Yutao has been with Fang Xing for more than four years, and there is no problem with his personal ability.

has filmed seven or eight dramas together, and Fang Xing still knows his ability very well, so he knows very well that he has the ability to make feature films.

In fact.

When Fang Xing decided to rest, at first he considered introducing him to other film and television companies to take one or two projects to experience and experience.

In the future, Ark Culture has a project to shoot, and you can also find him to cooperate.

However, Wang Yutao still insists on staying in Ark Culture, and can basically only shoot MVs and commercials.

Fang Xing didn't want to bury his talent, so even if he was at home on vacation to accompany the child, he still wrote a script for him to try.

As a result of working together for several years.

Fang Xing also knows very well what Wang Yutao is good at and what he is not good at.

Everyone has something they are good at and something they are not good at.

For example, Zhang Yigao is relatively good at logical scripts.

Therefore, Fang Xing chose to let him shoot the suspense drama "The Darkling".

Strictly speaking, "The Darkling" is a suspense drama, but the plot is not brain-burning, and with Zhang Yigao's logical control of the script, it can be completely controlled.

Relatively speaking, Wang Yutao is actually better at shooting beautiful shots and pictures.

In the next few dramas, Fang Xing will hand over the placement of many camera positions and the selection of actors' shots to Wang Yutao to deal with.

The drama "Ancient Lovesickness", in fact, has a very ingenious plot and is a story with a dislocated timeline.

The male protagonist and the female protagonist are two story lines, but the two story lines are cleverly intertwined to form a strong dramatic conflict.

This is also the most exciting and interesting part of this show.

For the audience, when watching the drama, they will feel that the story of this drama is a bit suspenseful, and the overlap of the timeline is also very wonderful.

However, for the director, in fact, the plot direction is not brain-burning, just shoot with a flat and direct narrative.

In terms of time dislocation, you only need to pay attention to it when editing in post-production.

To put it simply.

The script of "Ancient Acacia" was made into a drama, and the audience will feel that the plot is interspersed with excitement after watching it, but it is not very difficult to shoot.

Wang Yutao is willing to stay in the Ark culture, of course, he doesn't like to shoot MVs.

As a director, who wouldn't want to make feature films?

Therefore, when he received the script, he knew that the opportunity to wait had finally come.

This was his first chance to make a feature film on his own.

When the opportunity comes, we have to seize it desperately.

The competition in the film and television industry is fierce, and opportunities like this may only happen once in a lifetime.

If you can't catch it, it's hard to encounter it in the future.

Not to mention a rookie director who has never made a feature film, even if he is a famous director, he may not have a chance to turn over if he has made a big bad movie.

Moreover, once a director makes a big bad movie, not only will the investment company lose confidence in him, but he will also doubt himself.

One of the reasons why Wang Yutao insists on staying in the Ark culture is that his personality belongs to a more cautious type, and to put it seriously, he is a little unconfident.

Yes, Wang Yutao will be a little unconfident in his personality, which also leads him to be very cautious.

In the past two years, it is not that no film and television companies have approached him, but he has not taken on projects from other film and television companies.

Because, he is not sure.

He wasn't sure if the audience would like these film and television projects.

The audience's preference is a very metaphysical thing for the director.

Some dramas are filmed, and professionals feel that they are so bad when they see it, but the audience may like it very much.

Therefore, the audience's preference is a metaphysical issue that a professional cannot fully understand.

In the film and television industry, there are many examples of big directors making big bad movies.

Could it be that the level of a great director is not good?

Obviously, it's not that the level is not good, but that you can't grasp the audience's preferences.

Because the audience likes to be more metaphysical, and Wang Yutao's personality is more cautious, he would rather stay in the company to shoot MVs and advertisements before he is sure.

This time.

Fang Xing took out the script of "Ancient Lovesickness".

Wang Yutao did not hesitate, before reading the script, he had already begun to think about how to shoot, and never thought about anything bad to shoot.

Because he has faith.

To be precise, he is confident in Fang Xing's script.

In fact, he felt that Zhang Yigao was a director before, which was more worry-free than other directors in the industry.

Because Zhang Yigao doesn't need to think about the market, he doesn't need to think about whether the audience likes it.

He only needs to shoot the content of the script according to Fang Xing's requirements, and give full play to the director's ability to shoot the shot under the general framework.

There are so many things to worry about when it comes to other directors in the industry.

Normally.

A director, from the beginning of preparing the project, needs to worry about whether the script will work or not, and whether to find a screenwriting team to polish the script again.

What if the script is filmed and the audience doesn't like it?

What if the producer is not satisfied with the finished film?

What if the investment is not enough?

What if the actor you want to invite can't be invited?

However, Zhang Yi and Qualcomm do not need to worry about these problems.

Does the audience like it or not?

Fang Xing took out the script and served as a producer, which is not a problem at all.

Will the investment be insufficient?

In the film and television industry, as long as there is a name in the main creative team, there is never a shortage of investment.

As for the actors you want to invite, can't you get them?

As with the previous issue, never encountered.

In short, Zhang Yigao is too easy to be a director.

Of course, Wang Yutao recognizes Zhang Yigao's ability, and if he can make feature films independently, his ability is definitely not a problem.

Moreover, the effect of "The Darkling" is very good, and the audience scored 8.2 points, which is not fake, which is a recognition of the director's ability.

……

Now, Wang Yutao finally has the opportunity to shoot Fang Xing's script, which is something he dreams of, so he has never worried about whether the script is good or not.

There is only one question to consider, and that is whether you can shoot well.

After carefully studying the script, he found that the story of the script was very ingenious, but from the director's point of view, it was not very difficult to shoot.

Moreover, the planned investment in this drama is not large, and in addition to the heroine, the requirements of other actors are not high.

Therefore, the difficulty of the overall shooting is completely controllable by him.

Wang Yutao briefly said his thoughts, and then said: "Boss, I am very confident in the script this time, I can shoot it well."

"For some ideas on filming, I would like to talk to my boss separately."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Yes, then today's meeting will be like this." Yu Tao, if there is anything that needs to be discussed, call me directly or send me a message. ”

Qiao Yinghong added and asked, "Boss, how much do you plan to invest in this drama?" ”

I had thought about this before Fang Xing.

On the earth, "Ancient Lovesickness" is indeed a part of the small investment web drama, and it is a very, very small investment.

There is only 4 million investment, so it can be seen from the lens and actors of the play that they are either newcomers or eighteenth-tier young actors.

With an investment of 4 million, it is really not enough to plug the gaps in the film and television industry.

You must know that the S-level investment starts at 100 million, the A-level investment is 60 million, and the B-level investment is 40 million.

Generally speaking, a B-rated investment is a small investment.

With the current shooting cost of the film and television industry, if you want to invite one or two actors who go too much, and a director with a good level, and then spend some money on Fuhuadao, 40 million is basically the minimum standard.

The investment in film and television is less than 40 million, and basically nothing decent can be made.

After all, for a crew to operate, there are as few as a few hundred people as many as a few thousand.

With an investment of several million, you can spend half of it by renting equipment and a studio.

Therefore, "Ancient Acacia" is an absolute dark horse of small cost on earth.

Of course, the specific cost also depends on how many episodes of the drama are filmed.

Filming 10 episodes and filming 20 episodes are completely different concepts.

Generally speaking, the B-level investment, the investment of 40 million, is usually based on the shooting of about 30 episodes of online dramas.

If only a dozen episodes are filmed, the duration of each episode is shortened, and half of the investment can be completed.

But.

It can be seen from the picture of "Ancient Acacia" on the earth that this crew really has no money.

Ark Culture is not short of this amount of money, and this script deserves a higher investment.

Therefore, Fang Xing must increase investment in this script, and upgrade the costumes, sets, and actors to a higher level, so that the texture of the whole drama is better.

Fang Xing replied directly: "According to the B-level investment, the specific investment amount, the company's film and television investment department is responsible for the budget." ”

The market in the film and television industry changes every day.

Therefore, Fang Xing did not directly say the number of specific investments, but directly followed the B-level investment, and naturally there was a special team to calculate the specific investment.

……

End of meeting.

The bullet train is also about to return to Baitang Town.

Fang Xing went out for a trip, took a car to the East China Sea, and turned around and came back by car before leaving the station.

Because she promised her little princess on the phone, as long as she called her father, she would go back immediately.

Of course, Fang Xing has to do what he says, so he bought a ticket to go home as soon as possible.

Even so, when I returned to Baitang Town, I would not be in a hurry for a long time.

When Fang woke up and returned home, Qianqian was already asleep, and he was asleep.

Lu Xiang'er complained with a smile: "I was tired of crying, and then I drank 200 ml of milk and fell asleep." ”

Fang Xing sat next to the crib, looking at the little princess who was sleeping heavily, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Maybe when I sat down, I made a movement.

Shallow snorted, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Fang Xing looked at Qianqian's appearance and knew that she was still in the mood in the morning, so she couldn't sleep well.

Although he is young, he is very sensitive, especially emotionally.

Grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents still don't see each other every few days, and they cry immediately when they see Xiaozui again.

It's not a howling cry, but the kind of sticky crying, which will cry so much that your eyebrows are red, and your tears will fall off, and you will have to hug it and coax it for a long time before you listen.

Even if I listened, I would sob for a while.

When I went to bed at night, because of the accumulation of emotions during the day, I couldn't sleep steadily, and I woke up several times in the middle of the night.

The more this is the case, the more distressed Fang Xing becomes.

This little guy is so sensitive at a young age, he goes out to play without her, and when she finds out, he also cries.

……

Fang Xing sat on the edge of the crib and sat for half an hour.

Shallow turned over and lay flat, rubbed his eyes with his hands, opened his eyes and saw his father, and then he stared blankly, not crying or calling.

Just look at it.

This is the performance of just waking up and not turning on the machine.

If you wake up normally, don't cry or make a fuss.

If you're woken up, or scared, you're going to have to cry.

Fang Xing smiled at her and said, "Woke up?" Call Daddy, Daddy will pick you up and play. ”

Kick your legs shallowly and open your hands to hug them, but don't speak.

"Call Daddy, call Daddy to hug." Fang Xing continued to tease her.

Shallow opened his hand and waited for a while, but he didn't hug him, his mouth flattened, and he protested with a crying voice.

"I said yes to call Dad, didn't I just call it in the morning...... Okay, good, hug. ”

Fang Xing saw that this little cutie was about to lose her temper, so he quickly reached out and hugged her and coaxed her.

At this time.

When Grandma Qianqian heard the movement, she hurriedly walked over and said happily, "Are you awake?" See if Daddy is back? Hurry up and call Dad, and Dad won't leave.

"When you wake up, wipe your face first, grandma will take a towel, and eat porridge later."

Lu Xiang'er took the opportunity to come up and competed for favor: "Call mom first, your dad doesn't have milk for you to eat, what's the use of calling him?" ”

Since seven or eight months, Qianqian likes to let his father hug him the most.

No matter who was hugging it, as long as Fang Xing reached out and asked if he wanted to hug him, he would open his hand.

On the contrary, if Fang Xing was hugging, even the grandmother reached out to ask if she wanted to hug her, and Qianqian immediately twisted her head away, for fear of being carried away.

The whole family didn't believe in evil, and they wanted to snatch Qianqian from Fang Xing's hands every day, but none of them succeeded.

After months of research.

Fang Xing has already figured out a little rule, and Qianqian likes to hug vertically and pill it on his shoulder.

In the whole family, only lying on Fang Xing's shoulders saw the highest.

……

After the project of "Ancient Acacia" was established, except for Qiao Yinghong's report every few days, Fang Xing basically didn't ask.

Wang Yutao did not call to discuss the script.

A few days passed.

Fang Xing wanted to call him and ask him if he had any questions about the script.

This morning.

Wang Yutao went directly to Baitang Town to visit, and also brought several children's toys.

He came to Baitang Town, of course, not to visit the door, but to have other business.

After a simple politeness, Fang Xing took him to the study and prepared to talk about business.

Wang Yutao took out a large stack of insights on the script from his briefcase, as well as the first draft of the storyboard script.

For the filming of a film and television drama, the script is written by the screenwriter, but the storyboard script needs to be completed by the director.

If it is a mature director team, the assistant director will also be involved in the work of storyboarding.

In the crew, Wang Yutao is good at the control of the lens language and the display of beautiful pictures.

Therefore, for the filming of Fang Xing's later dramas, Wang Yutao was responsible for many of the storyboard scripts.

Wang Yutao took out the storyboard script and said: "Boss, this is my preliminary storyboard script, I hope to make the heroine as beautiful as possible."

"Because she is considered to be a generation of demon queens, although there will be reversals in the script, but to be called a demon queen, she must be beautiful enough."

Fang Xing nodded as he listened, very satisfied with his thoughts.
