Well.

In fact, not everyone in the middle and senior management of Tang Ren present is optimistic about the drama "Step by Step".

"There are very few film and television dramas of this type on the market now, and no one dares to guarantee what ratings this drama will bring."

"Our Tang Ren is famous for Xianxia dramas, palace fighting dramas? Scold! ”

"No, no, I think Sister K's decision is very wise, if we Tang Ren want to advance bravely, we must dare what ordinary people dare not do, and do what ordinary people can't!"

Say anything.

But without exception, the play "Step by Step" is not transferred by their will, and the script is already on the table.

And looking at Sister K's attitude, she must shoot this drama, and even before the filming of "Yizhimei", she did not hold a middle-level meeting, which shows Sister K's attitude towards this drama.

"This is Tang Ren's masterpiece this year!" Sister K is overwhelming.

It can be a powerful work.

Inviting actors is a little awkward.

From his own side, Tang Ren's status in the TV series is not high now, and it seems that every drama has a big reaction, but in fact, it has become popular with a group of people in the fairy sword series.

The audience is stereotyped.

Your Tang Ren Xianxia drama is awesome, and it is recognized that there are still many people who watch it when you make Xianxia dramas again.

But do you shoot palace fighting dramas?

Sorry, go out and turn left.

This also led to the fact that not many people responded to Tang Ren when filming other series, and Sister K's reputation in this circle was not particularly good.

I only like to use my own people, how many talented people are willing to match others?

There are also many A-list stars on that list, such as the sect leader...

Sister K glanced at it and was laughed angrily, "Can anyone tell me which wonderful and glamorous person proposed this?" ”

She wanted to invite people, but did they come? Don't think about the unrealistic!

Someone chimed in: "Sister K's consideration is not unreasonable, after all, our teacher is only a second-tier teacher, let's pick a top class." ”

"Then when the TV series is released, who still remembers that we are here to praise the teacher?"

Soon the names of Nie Yuan, Bao Jianfeng and others appeared.

This kind of former first-line star who is old but still has not succeeded in transformation and has been gradually forgotten by the market.

It's not that the audience has forgotten them, but that they've been crushed by the wheels of the times...

However, some people still wonder, "Are these people a little too old?" Obviously, our teacher is only in his 20s, and he is young. ”

"And some of these people have already got married, and some are even in their 40s! It will make people feel that the picture is not cooperative. ”

Sister K nodded, she also responded to this combination.

Brother Zhongfen stood up again, "Sister K, I think people like them are more suitable for this play!" ”

Sister K remembered that he had just made a few good suggestions, and she unconsciously had some expectations in her heart, "You tell me carefully." ”

The middle brother combed his hair into a middle part and cleared his throat, "First of all, these people used to be A-list stars, so their acting skills are worth guaranteeing." ”

"Secondly, they themselves are also very distressed, and they can't encounter good works, but we don't have a script of "Step by Step"! Maybe they will take the initiative to reduce their salary to participate. ”

Some people don't believe it, but Brother Zhongfen doesn't pay attention to it, and it's not that he pays his salary, he only needs to be responsible for Sister K.

He continued: "The only thing that can't be guaranteed now is how their own fan base is, maybe we can choose an actor with the largest number of fans to play the leading role!" ”

These words can be said to have gone to Sister K's heart.

Tang Ren's money is really not much!

Saving a little is a little.

"Tell me, are there any other reasons?"

got the approval of Sister K, and the middle brother was even more upright, arrogantly skimming his colleagues, "Hmph~ And then there is, let's choose the older boyfriend to play the teacher's play, and we are also selling the teacher's boyfriend a face, so that the teacher will not have an affair with a man who is a round older than himself, right?" ”

That's true!

Even those who looked down on him agreed when they heard this.

In front of Ma Yudong, a potential stock, the drama "Step by Step" doesn't seem to be a big deal.

After all, the theme of this meeting is how to praise the teacher and give her the opportunity to become the heroine of Ma Yudong's movie, which means that everything is in the service of this theme.

Sister K looked at the middle brother with satisfaction, she had already missed the big tree of Ma Yudong once, and she must not miss it this time.

"Okay, what do you think about making a list?"

Brother Zhongfen wrote down a few people in his memory, including 576.

Sister K glanced at it, the price was quite right, "I temporarily appointed you as the person in charge of "Step by Step", and before the crew started filming, you will be responsible for coordinating the actors. ”

Brother Zhongfen ascends to the sky in one step!

Sister K glanced around, "I finally announced one thing, Ma Yudong is the assistant director of the play "Step by Step". ”

Meeting!

Ignoring the surprised crowd, Sister K left directly.

She's not asking for advice, she's announcing her decision.

Some people have a hunch that it seems that the drama of the teacher is really soaring!

………

In a small restaurant near Ning Hao's house.

The boss stopped the waiter, took the dishes in his hand himself, and said to the waiter, "You don't have to worry about this room." ”

The waiter looked at the boss in confusion, he was a newcomer, and pulled an old employee, "Who is the guest here?" I even asked the boss to deliver the food in person! ”

The old employee thought of the three people and smiled, "It's not a big deal, you'll know later." ”

The boss walked into the house, and it was Huang Bo, Xu Guangtou and Ma Yudong who were sitting inside.

The boss put the food and wine on the table and set them up, "Why didn't Brother Hao come today?" ”

Huang Bo was a little embarrassed, Xu Guangtou was the thickest-skinned, "He has something to do today, next time he comes, I will ask him to toast the boss with a few glasses of wine." ”

"Be polite, then I won't bother you to talk about business, just call me if you have something."

The room door closed again.

Huang Bo breathed a sigh of relief, "Aren't we a little too particular?" ”

Especially, I saw that Ma Yudong and Xu Guangtou were written in the screenwriter column, what about him?

Xu Guangtou pointed to him, "The investor wrote about you?" ”

Huang Bo was angry, he hadn't reached Andy's realm yet, he valued his former name more, "You must hang a screenwriter for me!" ”

Xu Guangtou poured a glass of wine for everyone, "It's useless to say that, if you want to be a screenwriter, you have to do some practical things related to screenwriters, have you seen this script?" I wrote this with Dongzi. ”

"If you want to be a screenwriter, you have to give the right advice, otherwise you don't have to talk about it."

Huang Bo flipped through the script, "You girl, Lao Tzu is the investor's grandfather!" ”

"Phew, grandson, knowledge is priceless, and the teacher didn't teach you when you were in school?" Xu bald his head and quarreled with him.

After reading the script.

Huang Bo didn't mention the screenwriter, "I wish you two old boys will be scolded after filming this drama." ”

is obviously such a heartwarming romantic drama in the early stage, but the ending has become so depressing.

It's really unreasonable for you not to be beaten.

You are simply abusing the audience!

Or pure playfulness.

is like a TV series of TVB in 08, the runner-up "Gu Ling Detective".

It was a good comedy, but how did the screenwriter arrange the ending?

It is said that when all difficulties have been overcome, all doubts have been solved, and the male and female protagonists finally have lovers.

The male protagonist was suddenly hit by a truck on the street!

Just when the audience and the female protagonist were worried together, the male protagonist stood up.

It turned out that he was like a rabbit, and he escaped with his vigorous posture.

At this time, the two smiled and gave a thumbs up, ready to hug each other affectionately.

And at this time, a small Picca rushed over and knocked the actor who escaped by luck into the air.

Card it!

It was pressed from the male protagonist.

The male protagonist is also angry, and he never woke up with a sound.

So many people sent blades to this screenwriter and director.

"I don't think you two are much better." Huang Bo offered the most vicious blessings.

Ma Yudong touched his nose and discussed with Xu Guangtou, "Otherwise, I think it's better to add him to the screenwriter column, right?" ”

This time, Xu Guangtou was not hindering.

Ma Yudong asked: "In other words, how much money do you plan to invest as an investor?" ”

Huang Bo shrank back and searched for it, "It depends on your budget, how much investment do you think this drama will need to be filmed?" ”

Xu Guangtou looked at Ma Yudong, "Dongzi, you are the director of this play, how much do you think this play will cost?" ”

The girl threw the matter at him again.

But those who can work hard, Ma Yudong thought about it, "First of all, there is no big scene in our play, and there is no good dock-style car chase and gun fight." ”

"In terms of actors, a few of us can symbolically take a little, and we can save a lot of performance fees, 7 million! If you add the publicity, 10 million is enough. ”

10 million is really not much to make a romance movie.

Even saying that making a movie with 10 million in this year can only be regarded as a small production.

But even so, Huang Bo was still miserable, "This is a bit too much, I can take out the one I have on hand, it's only more than 4 million, I'll give you 500." ”

That's only half of it, and it's definitely not enough.

So what to do?

Ma Yudong looked at the label of the bottle of wine, Wuliangye..."Otherwise, let's look for an advertisement?" ”

This is something that a lot of movies do when they don't have enough investment, which can get brands to pay for it and use props for free.

However, Ma Yudong didn't have a hot brain, and marked the disadvantages of advertising, "We are all making movies for the first time, can any of you master the amount of advertising, so as not to make the audience disgusted with our movie?" ”

Both men were silent.

They can act, but you say to be a director? That's not going to work.

Even, Ma Yudong is the first person in their small group to start being a director.

However, Xu Guangtou has worked part-time and served as a planner, "When I watch other directors filming, they are more looking for film and television companies to cooperate, Dongzi, don't you see if your company can come up with money to invest in you?" ”

Ma Yudong sandwiched a peanut to suppress the wine, "My company is making a big movie now, and it is difficult to come up with money." ”

And the company is related to Da Tiantian, and Ma Yudong doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

A road is blocked.

If private investment is not enough, then you can only find other film and television companies.

China Film, Huayi, Light, etc.

Huang Bo was also thinking, and suddenly he remembered something, "Why don't we find Nortel?" ”

"Can Nortel come up with money to invest?" Why hasn't Ma Yudong heard of it?

"Then you're too low!"

Nortel is a school, but it's not just a school.

Many school teachers and professors have part-time jobs, and they can invest in a private way.

"Those teachers are all very rich, and there are a lot of people under them, but there is a little bit if you ask them to cooperate. Your director's power will be greatly reduced. ”

Even the other party can come to a Li Dai Taojiang and make you a director on the surface, but they are the actual directors.

Isn't this Wu Jing's "Wolf Teeth"?

That's how it is when it comes to patting wolf teeth.

People took money to make Wu Jing famous, but then they found a gold medal producer.

Fortunately, the gold medal producer didn't interfere in their affairs.

But Ma Yudong still remembers that the gold medal man gave him a business card.

If everything is ready, but there is no investment yet, maybe Ma Yudong should consider contacting it.

Xu Guangtou, who has been acting for the longest time in this film, said: "Actually, it would be good if you had to shoot this drama earlier, you don't know that in the past few years, coal bosses poured into the entertainment industry." ”

Under the curious eyes of the two, he slowly said his glorious deeds, "I was also fortunate to cooperate with them in a TV series at that time, and the coal boss is really good at talking, giving money, and not caring about your filming." ”

"The only pity is that the heroine has to be the person he arranged." Xu Guangtou was also a prodigal son at that time, but unfortunately he didn't dare to touch those women.

Coal boss?

Huang Bo moved, "I remember that they are all in Shanxi, do any of you know anyone over there?" ”

Ma Yudong said: "I don't think this suggestion is good, and the only one around us who may know them is Ning Hao." ”

Ning Hao was born there, although he later came to the capital to develop.

Outside the door.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

The new waiter was still thinking about who the people in the private room were, when suddenly a familiar voice sounded, "Pack me a boxed lunch, two meat and one vegetable, and a bottle of beer." ”

It's Brother Hao!

"Sister-in-law isn't home today?"

Ning Hao was already very familiar with them, upstairs and downstairs, he sat directly on the chair and lit a cigarette, "The two of them went to the park." ”

The new waiter packed it and put it in front of his desk, "I remember, Brother Hao, don't you usually like to play with your son the most?" ”

Ning Hao smiled bitterly, "Alas, don't mention it, who knows that the older this child gets, the more disobedient he becomes." “”

"My son was so cute when I was a child, but now he is against me everywhere and kisses his mother."

Looked around the room, "Where's your boss?" ”

"The boss went to deliver food to the people in the private room, and he hasn't come out yet."

Ning Hao complained, "Who is in the private room?" I have to ask your boss to go over in person, the score is so big! ”

The waiter replied, "I don't know, I don't know, but it looks like the boss knows those three people." ”

Oh, Ning Hao didn't have that much curiosity, he just asked casually.

After paying the money, he went back upstairs.

And inside, they have shifted from the direction of investors to other people.

Investors put it aside first, and then write the script.

And in addition to investors and scripts.

It is to prepare for the crew.

Looking for actors, makeup artists, lighting, theater, props, producers...

Fortunately, several people are insiders, you say a cameraman, I say a photographer, he said that a makeup artist is also complete, and the patchwork has gradually become the appearance of a crew.

All three began to choose their own roles.

Ma Yudong's mother doubts the male lead.

Xu Guangtou fell in love with the boss of the male protagonist and the president of the high loan.

Huang Bo actually took a fancy to it, "Why are you the boss, I am the investor, this role is very similar to me." ”

Xu Guangtou was too lazy to talk nonsense, and poured two glasses of wine, "As a president, you will definitely drink, if you can't drink me, why should you be the president?" ”

Huang Bo was speechless, so he had to retreat, "Then I'll choose the brother-in-law of the actor." ”

Ma Yudong took the pen and added two more roles to the roles of himself and the blind sister.

President Xu Guangtou.

Huang Bo's brother-in-law.

Wait a minute... Huang Bo questioned and touched his chin, "I think the identity of brother-in-law may not be very good, it should be said that the elder brother is more suitable for the character itself, and can also show the status of the head of the family." ”

He elaborated his reasoning: "Otherwise, you said that after getting married, your brother-in-law is still living in your father's house, isn't that equivalent to getting rich?" ”

"Then why does this protagonist respect him?"

This is what Ma Yudong didn't expect, he really doesn't know anything about marriage!

crossed out, and changed the brother-in-law to an elder brother.

Xu Guangtou sighed, "I said Huang Bo, you have been messing with Lao Tzu for so long, and you have finally learned a little bit of Lao Tzu, but it is enough for you to use for a lifetime." ”

Huang Bo gave him a middle finger.

Then he looked at Ma Yudong... The script in his hand, "When will we show Ning Hao the script of this movie?" ”

Although the hearts of the three of them are higher than the sky, after all, it is the first time to make a movie, and the three of them have no bottom in their hearts.

I don't want to encounter Waterloo for the first time I make a movie, and I have to let Ning Hao, a recognized director, palm my eyes.

“… Well, let's wait for the script to be revised. ”

Late at night.

Ma Yudong returned home full of alcohol.

It was past 11 o'clock, and the room was quiet.

He tiptoed to wash, and the door of his room was closed, and the blind sister was evidently sleeping in it.

Ma Yudong didn't want to disturb her sleep, so he came to the blind sister's room and decided to make do with it.

As soon as I turned off the light, I heard a sudden knock at the door next door, and then the blind sister walked in and turned the light on again.

He looked at him with his waist thrust in and said, "Ask you something." ”

He yawned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Are you cheating?"

Ma Yudong's drowsiness disappeared instantly: "What am I cheating?" ”

"Oh, you didn't cheat, then you went home in the middle of the night and hid in this house, I don't know that uncle, your job is a dragon fruit cultivator!"

The blind sister didn't feel shy at all, "Uncle, you're a shifter, not a resignation, let's go, I'll go to sleep in that room!" ”

"No, no, no, no, then I'll apply for resignation."

"I don't approve it!"

………

I don't know where Guo Fan learned that Ma Yudong was back, so he called him, "You won't tell me when you return to China?" Our crew is still waiting for you. ”

Ma Yudong rolled her eyes while lying on the bed, the blind sister went back to Hengdian to film, she still had some scenes that she hadn't finished filming, "Director Guo has great powers, you will know when I come back." ”

Guo Fan smiled, "Didn't I leave enough time for you and your little couple?" Enough rest, it's time to get moving. ”

Get~

Ma Yudong sat up from the bed~ "It's my turn to play?" ”

"Not yet, your play is still to come."

"And what do you mean?" Ma Yudong really didn't understand.

Guo Fan also doesn't like to sell Guanzi, and said bluntly: "I heard that you are going to be a director, congratulations!" ”

“……？？！

”

Ma Yudong was shocked and blurted out, "How do you know?" ”

He obviously just started to build the script, it's only been a few days, how can he know?

Guo Fan scolded with a smile, and the beard at the corner of his mouth also jumped, "What a little bit of a thing, and you still hide this and that, your two brothers Huang Bo and Xu Guangtou are now starting to find people everywhere and prepare for the crew, who doesn't know?" ”

The film industry is not big.

Any wind and grass will soon be noticed.

What's more, Huang Bo is still an actor, and the directors who come to him to film every year are queuing.

But this old boy has free time for next year.

If it's just the first half of the year, it may be to prepare for Ning Hao's movie, but you are even empty for the second half of the year, which has to make people a little confused.

In addition, the two of them didn't want to hide it, and after checking it, it was found out that Huang Bo was looking for some makeup artists and photographers recently.

Xu Guangtou is contacting props, costumes...

And these people are known as Liu Guanzhang, it is impossible that Ma Yudong has no news at all, and people who are interested have already discovered that the assistant director of Tang Ren's new drama "Step by Step Shocking" has Ma Yudong's name.

Then it's easy to guess.

As fine as a monkey! Ma Yudong pouted, "Then you know that you still call me, don't you know that I'm busy?" Call me again while you're filming me. ”

Seeing that he was about to hang up the phone, Guo Fan hurriedly said: "Actually, my crew is now lacking an assistant director, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

This sentence stopped Ma Yudong from hanging up the phone..."I have no experience as a director. ”

What are you afraid of? Guo Fan Yile, "I haven't been a director yet, you come here, let's complement each other and make progress together." ”

"Besides, our drama is ready to be filmed, how is your girlfriend's singing? Give me a letter. ”

Ma Yudong must correct the name of the blind sister, it is his fault during this time, "Her drama will be finished in two days, and when the time comes, just come back and let her sing it for you." ”

"Okay, then come on, my assistant director will send you."

Guo Fan hung up the phone, and another assistant director came over, "Why do you have to let him in?" Am I doing something bad? ”

Guo Fan waved his hand to comfort his emotions, "Don't think too much, I really want him to come to the crew to help, after all, he is also an insider, and he must be more familiar with actors and actors than us, and he can hold the scene." ”

The assistant director also had a headache when he thought of the 'Dragon Prince'.

Guo Fan saw that he understood, and smiled again: "Besides, isn't he going to make a movie?" And after I finished filming this film, I haven't had any other movie invitations, maybe I can go to him as an assistant director in my next play, presumably he is embarrassed to refuse, right? ”

Ask for someone, the more friends!

The assistant director was blindfolded, speechless, and finally gave two thumbs up.

Looks like it's really right to give him that bowl!

The abacus has hit this part.

Guo Fan was not happy, and put on a straight face, "How can the matter of a scholar be called a lie?!" ”

"I'm exchanging sincerity for sincerity!"
