Chapter 138: Still, it was written by my boyfriend
For several days, Director Li did not give Song Yi any news.
Song Yi didn't take the initiative to ask.
This kind of thing, as long as Director Li doesn't deny the news to himself, it means that people are still doing it.
Anyway, the production of the show is not a meal, it can be completed in one or two hours, and the preparatory work in the early stage takes a lot of time.
In the list of invited guests on his side, so far, only Tang Wanqing has been confirmed, and everyone else is still communicating and negotiating.
In his previous life, he participated in a show, from the time it was approved to the start of filming, the preliminary preparation took nearly half a year, and the most time-consuming thing was the invitation of guests.
It is difficult to invite a timetable, popular, and suitable guest.
Doing a show is different from filming a TV series, movies are different, among the guests, they can't all be amateurs.
Especially when a show is broadcast at the beginning, or when a preview is made, one or two very popular artists must attract traffic to pay attention and support.
But the greater the fame, the more difficult it is.
This is also why the program team often prepares some spare candidates.
When the most suitable object does not come, the program team will retreat to the next best thing and replace it with an artist who is similar to him, relatively sure, and not difficult to invite.
Although the effect may not be so good, at least the show will not be aborted because the guests do not come.
Of course, Song Yi also made a phone call to Director Wan about this matter, and breathed a breath to make him not in a hurry.
Wan Dao naturally said that it was okay, but he was actually a little panicked.
It stands to reason that Song Yi's relationship in the group should not be so difficult.
Could it really be that the daughter-in-law said that she wanted a bamboo basket to fetch water, and she was happy?
The most painful thing in life is not that there is no hope, but that you are clearly given hope, but suddenly there is no hope.
Since the company's program team couldn't handle it all of a sudden, Song Yi was naturally busy with the affairs of "Silent Truth".
He read the director information that Chen Ying sent him last time, and he also checked it on the Internet, and looked at the news about him, which is not bad on paper.
So he asked Chen Ying to ask the other party to the Song Tang Company, and then talk about it after meeting each other first.
In his office, Song Yi looked at the young director brought in by Chen Ying, he stood up with a smile and said, "Hello, I'm Song Yi, welcome Director Zhou." ”
"Song is always good."
Song Yi took a closer look, compared with the photos on the computer, he was more artistic, more vicissitudes, and more raunchy.
A long flowing hair was tied up and tied behind his head, and the stubble didn't know how many days he hadn't shaved, and the clothes he wore were even more casual, how to wear them, how comfortable they were.
Proper literary youth.
In fact, Zhou Jingyu didn't want to come to see Song Yi like this, but the notice was too urgent.
I stayed up all night last night in order to write the script, and I was dozing off in bed in the morning, when I was called by Chen Ying directly.
Standing in front of Song Yi, Zhou Jingyu may also realize that his dress is a little impolite, and quickly explained: "Mr. Song, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry to clean up if I don't come." ”
Because of his good luck, his first script and first work won the Best New Director Award that year.
But so what?
Because of his character, he accidentally offended people, which led to him being directly blacklisted by some investment companies in the circle, plus there were few suspense books, so he basically had no drama to pick up.
So far, he hasn't officially received a script for almost two years.
Although he made some small short videos halfway through, they were all small businesses and didn't make any money at all.
He also wants to try to write a script on his own and then find an investor, but he really needs a certain amount of talent to write a script.
In the past two years, he has also worked hard to write two stories one after another, but he has found investors at all, and everyone is not interested in his story at all.
At this moment, Chen Ying's phone suddenly found him and asked him if he would like to come to shoot an online drama, suspenseful.
At first, he thought it was just a small fight to earn living expenses, but when he heard that the show planned to invest 30 million and that it would be broadcast on the Penguin platform after it was filmed, the whole person became excited.
In order to determine the authenticity of this matter, he asked Chen Ying, and after knowing the name of the company, he was stunned, because he had never heard of the name of this company.
It can't be a liar, right?
Zhou Jingyu looked on the Internet with doubts, and found out that Song Tang Entertainment Co., Ltd. is an entertainment company that has only been registered for a short time, but it is one of the investors of the recently popular "Golden Branch Desire".
The only female artist it currently owns, and she is also an actor who plays the role of "Yuying" in "Golden Branch Abuse", Yu Jiuer.
Now he was convinced.
For this opportunity, of course, he had to seize it.
"It's okay, sit down."
Song Yi took the initiative to pour him a cup of coffee and said, "Can I ask, why didn't you shoot again after you filmed the first work?" ”
Zhou Jingyu smiled bitterly: "Because there is no good script, no one wants to ask me to shoot." ”
"Why?"
"Accidentally, I offended someone."
Zhou Jingyu said: "Maybe only a new company like yours will dare to use me." ”
"Tell me."
Song Yi became interested all of a sudden, and said, "I've just entered this industry, and I don't know much about some of your gameplay. ”
Zhou Jingyu hesitated and said: "Actually, the show business that everyone watches and the people behind it are two different things, if you are an actor and only deal with the crew, you don't know who is the real boss in this world, and who controls the entire industry here."
A lot of times, most directors can't help themselves, and every time they shoot a scene, they need to wait for these people to say 'yes' before they can shoot.
Because whether it is money, the resources of the script, or the platform for broadcasting, they are firmly in control. ”
After listening to Zhou Jingyu's words, in fact, Song Yi felt that this gameplay was no different from the entertainment industry in his previous life.
Isn't this the usual way of the capitalists?
So now the question arises.
The market is so big, it has long been divided by a few people, and now he suddenly comes out to grab the cake, will he be besieged?
A: Apparently yes.
But it doesn't matter, you have two major advantages.
First of all, in terms of scripts, I don't have to rely on anyone, the works of my previous life are enough to support the foundation of my own edifice, and secondly, the broadcast channel, I rely on the Penguin video platform, and I don't need to look at anyone's face.
As long as he doesn't get grabbed by the throat, he is not afraid of anyone.
After all, as long as your company's works can be successfully launched, everyone will fight for the quality of the works, and the audience will never be bought, but will only watch the works they like to watch.
"I see."
Song Yi said: "You don't have to worry about them, now I have decided to give you a chance to hand over the company's script to you to shoot, are you confident that you can shoot a good work and reappear in everyone's field of vision?" ”
"Of course I have faith in myself."
Zhou Jingyu said with some curiosity: "But Mr. Song, can you tell me which gold medal screenwriter's work is the script this time." ”
"Then this one might be going to disappoint you."
Song Yi said with a smile: "He is not a gold medal screenwriter, but a newcomer, called Song Yi." ”
"Is that the screenwriter of "Golden Bought Abuse"?"
"Yes."
Song Yi asked: "After knowing that the other party is still a rookie screenwriter, do you still have confidence now?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhou Jingyu said: "Can the company give me the script in advance?" I want to quickly familiarize myself with the script, be familiar with the plot, figure out the core of the script, and know how to shoot. ”
"Yes, that's fine."
Song Yi said: "After you go out later, sign the contract with the company and let Director Chen give it to you." ”
"Okay."
.......
In Shanghai, at the opening ceremony of a shopping mall, Tang Wanqing wore a pink dress, a pair of thin crystal high heels on her feet, and a pink bag in her hand.
As soon as she appeared, her beautiful temperament quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Reporters from major media outlets took pictures one after another.
At present, her popularity and topics are very high, she is not a first-line actor, but better than a first-line actor.
After the event, she also accepted an interview with the media, and when asked what her plans were next, she smiled slightly and said: "Soon after, I will participate in a reality show, and I hope you will support me a lot." ”
When asked what the show was, she said a word of confidentiality, and then left with her assistant Xiao Tao.
Originally, the motherboard wanted to invite these artists to have a meal together, but she refused.
Because she has more important things to do.
Back at the hotel, changing clothes, the two came out again.
Xiao Tao drove the car and soon took Tang Wanying to the Shanghai Opera Academy.
This is Tang Wanqing's alma mater, and she graduated from the acting department here.
Back at school again, shuttling down the boulevard, she was a little nostalgic for the old days when she was studying.
Wearing a mask, a hat, and a casual sportswear, she looked at the yellowing and falling leaves on the campus, and sighed: "Before I knew it, I had graduated for almost five years." ”
"Boss, what are we doing at your school?"
"Find someone."
"Who?"
Tang Wanqing said with a smile: "My previous teacher, you go around by yourself, I'll come to you when I'm done." ”
"Okay." Xiao Tao didn't go to college, so she longed for college.
With such a good opportunity this time, of course she had to take a good look around.
After sending Xiao Tao away, she skillfully walked towards a school building, and then saw the teacher lecturing in a lecture hall.
She crept in through the back door, and then sat alone in the last row, listening to the teacher on the podium talk about the expertise of acting.
Although Xia Chao on the stage found that a girl had sneaked in his class, he didn't make a sound.
After the end of a class and the younger brothers and sisters left one after another, Xia Chao saw that the girls in the last row had not gotten up to leave, and he asked curiously, "That classmate, do you have anything else?" ”
"Well, something's wrong."
Tang Wanqing got up, stepped forward, took off her mask, and said with a smile: "Teacher Xia, good!" ”
"Tang Wanqing?"
Xia Chao looked at his former student with some surprise, and said happily: "Why did you come suddenly?" ”
"I just came here to attend a business event, and I thought I'd like to come and see you, teacher."
"Let's go, come with me to the office and talk."
"Okay."
When the two came to the office, Xia Chao took the initiative to speak first: "Recently, I haven't seen your news on the Internet, and yesterday I was still using your recent works to give students an example." ”
"What do I have to say, more than my excellent seniors."
"It's different, you've been working hard for 5 years, and you're finally coming out, plus "Golden Branch Abuse" is so popular recently, your performance in the play is also remarkable."
Xia Chao sighed: "When you were in school, your acting skills were actually very good, and I thought that as soon as you graduated, you would become popular quickly." ”
“o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o”
Tang Wanqing smiled and asked, "Teacher, have you had any drama recently?" ”
"Nope."
"Then are you still taking the show?"
Xia Chao looked at Tang Wanqing and smiled helplessly: "I knew that you didn't come to see me, when you went to school, there was nothing to do, you have always avoided me, and you will only take the initiative to look for me when you have something." ”
"Hey, hey."
Xia Chao asked, "Say, what's going on?" Is it your new play? ”
"It's not."
Tang Wanqing replied: "It's a play by my friend, a suspense drama with a lot of positive energy, it talks about breaking the eucalyptus, and there is a character in it, playing a professor of the Department of Political Science and Law, I think it fits well with your drama path, teacher."
The main thing is to play him for his students, take the lead, and plan a well-thought-out plan with others to expose the truth. ”
Next, Tang Wanqing told her teacher the general outline of the story.
After Xia Chao heard it, he felt that this story was very good.
At least it's not just for entertainment and business, after it is filmed, it can bring a lot of deep reflection and emotion to everyone.
"Okay, I'll take it."
"Really? Teacher, you're so good. ”
However, Tang Wanqing quickly said with a little weakness: "Teacher, let's talk about it first, this drama doesn't have much money, and the salary may not be so high." ”
"It's okay, it's hard to buy money, I like it."
Xia Chao smiled happily: "When the time comes, the crew will just take care of the food."
As national first-class actors, these old actors, they will only take on the plays they like and agree with, and they have nothing to do with the amount of remuneration, and they have the same effect as Tang Wanqing, they don't act in any drama for the sake of making money.
"Then, teacher, I still have an uninvited."
Tang Wanqing said: "Actually, there are two characters in the play, in fact, I think it is quite suitable for some seniors, can you help me talk about it?" They're sure they'll all give you face. ”
As she spoke, she handed the list she had prepared in advance to the teacher.
"You're catching the teacher and picking up the wool alone."
"How can it be wool picking?"
Tang Wanqing retorted: "I'm here to keep the fat water from flowing into the fields of outsiders, it's a pity to let others play such a good script." ”
"You'll say."
Xia Chao took the list and said helplessly: "Let's say okay first, I can help you ask, but I don't dare to guarantee success, after all, they have all graduated, and it is not under my control." ”
"If the teacher goes out, he will definitely succeed, they can not give me face as a student, but they will definitely give the teacher face to you."
"You, when you ask me to do something, your mouth is like honey."
"Then teacher, I'll just hear your good news."
Tang Wanqing got up and said, "I won't bother you, I'm going to find someone else." ”
"Tang Wanqing, you told the teacher, did you invest in this drama? So attentive. ”
"It's not."
Tang Wanqing shook her head and said with a bright smile: "However, it was written by my boyfriend." ”
"......" Xia Chao.
