Chapter 116: Give the newcomer a chance
You Man actually thought about arranging an agent for Xu Ji, but later found that it was not necessary.
Although there have been a lot of invitations, this person obviously did not accept endorsements or participate in some performances, and then he gave up.
However, this time it was an important project like a tribute drama, and You Man still didn't feel at ease to follow.
stayed in the hotel arranged by the government, and Xu Ji can be regarded as knowing the directors who participated in the tribute drama this time.
Basically, they are all directors over forty years old and have been famous for a long time, and Xu Ji seems a little out of place in them.
You Man introduced Xu Ji to the other four people besides Xu Ji.
Che Jianmu, the director of the official CCTV station, is 59 years old this year, and among the five people in this year's tribute drama project, he is the oldest in terms of seniority and age.
More than 20 years ago, he won the Star Award, and later became one of the judges of the Star Award.
Xu Ji naturally knows about Che Jianmu, after all, the other party is one of the winners of the Best Director Award, the highest honor in the field of film and television dramas.
The Star Awards have been established for more than 60 years, and the total number of people who can win the best director is only in their early twenties.
After all, the Star Award is only selected once every three years.
Huang Yi, Best Director of the 33rd Peony Awards, and a super S-level contracted director of Smallpox Entertainment.
Ke Na, Best Director of the 35th Peony Awards, and the super S-level signed director of Tianwu Entertainment.
Xia Yunjie is not a person from the three major entertainments, but the company is also among the top in the entertainment industry.
The most important thing is that the other party is still the best director of the 43rd Yunyu Awards.
And in addition to Xu Ji, the youngest of the four is only thirty-six years old now, and he is in the prime of life.
The three major awards for film and television dramas, the Peony Award, the Yunyu Award, and the Star Award, have a higher gold content than the other.
It is said that at the beginning, there was only a star award, and it was only once every three years, and the cycle was ridiculously long.
Subsequently, around the tenth year of the establishment of the Star Award, the official Nebula Award was launched.
This shortened to become a biennial.
Finally, the Peony Award has been established for the shortest time, and the time has become the shortest once a year.
But even if it is the Peony Award, it is a great honor for all directors of film and television dramas.
"By the way, you may have inadvertently offended Xia Yunjie."
After You Man introduced the four directors, he spoke.
Xu Ji was a little puzzled.
"Why?"
He didn't even know each other before.
"In the list of tribute dramas that have been circulating before, there is Fan Wenquan."
Xu Ji was stunned for a moment.
Fan Wenquan?
No wonder he said that in this tribute drama project, the three major ones only saw the people of Phoenix Entertainment.
Did you get a place on Phoenix Entertainment?
Xu Ji was a little uncertain.
But what does this have to do with Xia Yunjie?
You Man took the initiative to explain to Xu Ji: "When Xia Yunjie was young, he was supported by Fan Wenquan. ”
"The relationship between the two is also that of a teacher and a friend."
"He is likely to think that you are the one who has won the quota of Fan Wenquan. And they are not eligible to participate in the Tribute Drama program. ”
"Because he seemed to say something on Weite before he came, newcomers should not think about trying their unfamiliar fields."
Xu Ji hasn't paid attention to these for a few days because everyone shouted and beat him on the Internet because of the ending of the fairy sword.
I didn't expect such a show.
But he didn't pay much attention to it.
It's time to prove yourself.
Tribute dramas, no matter what the theme, there are a lot of good works in his memory.
......
Although there had been phone contact before, when he really saw Duan Shengyu, an old man who was over sixty years old, he was still a little surprised that the other party was in such a good mental state.
I heard that he had experience in the army before, and it was probably related to this, Duan Shengyu was full of anger when he spoke, which would make people subconsciously ignore the other party's age.
"Looks like everyone is here."
In the conference room of the Television and Radio Bureau, Duan Shengyu spoke.
His main attention was actually on Xu Ji.
After all, everyone else is an old face, and only Xu Ji, a young man, is seeing it for the first time.
"I think I should know why I invited you here this time."
"I'm not going to sell it anymore. This year is a year in which our country has won a major victory in the battle against poverty. ”
"So the theme of this tribute drama may be a little different from the usual ones."
"Poverty alleviation!"
"I hope that you can show the best level of poverty alleviation work, the country's determination to help the people get rid of poverty, and the results we have achieved over the years."
At this time, several directors at the scene, except for Xu Ji, were a little surprised after hearing Duan Shengyu's words.
The four of them used to participate in the tribute drama project.
In previous years, most of the time there was no corresponding theme, leaving a lot of room for everyone to play.
But this time, it was suddenly limited to the theme of "poverty alleviation".
Even Che Jianmu, who has participated in five tribute dramas, rarely sees a director shoot such a theme.
Because the filming of poverty alleviation dramas inevitably focuses on the farmers at the grassroots level, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be taken out of reality and without a sense of reality, which makes poverty alleviation seem to have that disgusting taste of sympathy for the people.
just relies on preaching and BGM to forcibly fan love, there is no wonderful storyline, and many of the current audiences actually don't eat this set of dramas.
But if you are too realistic or pay attention to the storyline, it is difficult to achieve the most critical value link of the tribute drama, which makes people feel that the whole story is trivial.
Thinkers
In short, the theme of poverty alleviation is relatively unfamiliar to even the four directors who have filmed tribute dramas present.
......
"To tell you the truth, the difficulty of this year's tribute drama is definitely the biggest compared to previous years."
"In addition to the fact that the subject matter may be a little difficult to shoot, we are also very short on time."
"Of course, as long as there is a need in all aspects, you can mention it, as long as you can shoot this tribute drama well, I will do my best to help you if I can give the green light."
Duan Shengyu pretended not to see the changes in the faces of the few people present, and continued to speak.
After hearing Duan Shengyu's words, Che Jianmu, the official director of CCTV, finally couldn't help but speak at this time:
"How long will we be on the air this time?"
In fact, the previous tribute dramas were all stipulated for the broadcast time.
In many cases, how to find ways to catch up with the schedule is a headache for everyone.
But I slowly got used to it, and it was expected that the time was tight.
The only difficulty is that the theme of poverty alleviation is indeed relatively unfamiliar, and it is not easy to shoot.
"As early as August this year, one needs to be officially launched."
"The rest will be before October at the latest."
But Duan Shengyu's words were only half said, but the follow-up words made people suddenly surprised.
More than three months?
Now there's not even a script!
Several directors shouted in their hearts at this time that this was impossible.
The most important thing is the script.
Originally, the drama on the theme of poverty alleviation was niche, and now there is not enough time to polish the script.
It's strange to be able to shoot well.
Especially Che Jianmu's face was the most ugly at this time.
He is the oldest and most senior of the five people present, and he is also the official director, and the most difficult task of three months will definitely fall on his head.
Che Jianmu could only sigh helplessly at this time.
"I'll try my best."
"I hope I don't smash the sign."
It was no surprise that Che Jianmu stood up.
Others have about five months, and although they are a little rushed, they are within an acceptable range.
At this moment, something unexpected happened, Xia Yunjie suddenly spoke.
"Car guide, I think that such opportunities and challenges, how about giving newcomers a chance to prove themselves?"
"Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised."
"Director Xu Ji, how about your drama to be in charge of the task of broadcasting in August?"
