Chapter 64: The Team
This is really Yang Jie.
Wang Feng felt that as long as it could be better than Xiaori's "Journey to the West", it would be successful, but Yang Jie's mind was obviously much bigger than this.
If it's just better, in Yang Jie's opinion, it won't even be a passing grade.
After working hard for so long, she can't get a failing answer sheet, and if that happens, she won't be able to explain it to the people of the whole country.
Obviously, the leaders of Taiwan also know the temper of this little old lady and know that she is high-spirited.
It's good to have a high spirit!
We'll see what the results will be!
Wang Feng and Hong Minsheng stayed for a while and left in advance, but Ruan Ruolin was not in a hurry to leave, and brought up a question with Yang Jie that he had said before.
Consultant.
Although there is no movement on the side of "Dream of Red Mansions", the preparatory work has actually begun a long time ago, including a huge team of consultants.
According to Ruan Ruolin's idea, the filming of "Journey to the West" also widely listened to the opinions of the society.
Ruan Ruolin is also kind, her main concern is that if "Journey to the West" is not successful, public opinion will not be able to pass through, and when the time comes, the pressure will be concentrated on Yang Jie alone, afraid that this little old girl will not be able to bear it.
It is best to set up an influential advisory team like "Dream of Red Mansions", so that if there is any problem with filming in the future, at least someone can help Yang Jie speak.
Deputy Director Ruan naturally had good intentions, but Yang Jie made a difficulty: "Deputy Director Ruan, if you want to form an advisory team, you must ask for authority!" But these authorities have been invited, and if they disagree with me on some issues, do I listen or not? Listen, I've become a puppet, don't listen, wouldn't it be disrespectful to authority? ”
Hey!
Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Gu Bei sat below, a little unable to listen.
This old lady, why don't you feel like you can tell the difference?
In fact, Ruan Ruolin has raised this question with Yang Jie several times, and Yang Jie is not a person who doesn't know what to do.
Earlier, she went to Mr. Xia Yan and Mr. Wu Zuguang, and wanted to ask the two of them to serve as the literary consultants of "Journey to the West".
As a result, both of them rejected without exception.
Xia Lao's rhetoric was: "I'm old and don't have the energy to be a consultant for you, so you better come by yourself!" ”
What about Wu Zuguang?
"What kind of advisor do you want from this! The director is responsible for himself! ”
The two consultants I wanted to invite the most said that they would not do it, but as for the recommendation from the station, Yang Jie couldn't look down on it, so she simply said that there was no need for this.
Get!
This screwed and stubborn little old lady, Ruan Ruolin is out of line.
Toss it up for you!
The leaders have withdrawn, and now this is Yang Jie's world, looking at the people sitting below, not to mention anything else, just in terms of quantity, it is not comparable to when the Journey to the West preparatory group was first established.
All departments have been built, and it is no longer the original grass platform team, and the original Taiwan leaders still hope that the work team will still be the same as before, and the best candidates will be given by various types of work.
To put it bluntly, it is assigned by each department, and whoever it is given is whomever it is.
But this is obviously not in line with Mrs. Yang's employment habits.
You think it's the best, but with me, maybe nothing.
Therefore, Yang Jie once again stretched out her hand to the leadership to ask for power, first of all, the personnel right to form the team, according to her idea, the crew of "Journey to the West" should be composed of Taiwan and social forces.
In addition to the people provided by the station, she also needs the power to find collaborators in society.
After all, there is more than one "Journey to the West" in the next work in the station, and all other work in the station cannot be stopped for the sake of this drama.
There are not enough people in the station, so naturally they need to look for a new person in society, such as Li Chengru, although this guy has a broken mouth and loves to tell ghost stories to scare people, but he has absolutely no ability to say it.
The first thing that needs to increase manpower is the director team, and now Yang Jie's director team, in addition to her as the chief director, has only one assistant director, Zhu Xiaofeng, once the work is launched, it is obviously not enough, and someone must be hired.
But Yang Jie, who was arranged in the stage, really couldn't look down on it, and the concepts were different, and after she came, she shouted that the character modeling must refer to the opera stage......
Let's have fun!
After thinking about it, considering that most of the actors in the crew used to be from opera, and some of the performance actions had to absorb the opera stage, I wanted to invite two assistant directors who were familiar with opera.
In addition to cooperating with the work of the director team, he can also help tutor the monkey and Zhu Bajie's play, and come up with some ideas in performance.
In the end, someone recommended Xun Hao and Ren Fengpo to her, these two are actors of the National Peking Opera Company, and they have cooperated with Yang Jie before, they know each other, and Yang Jie also knows their work ability better.
In addition, the stage work of "Journey to the West" is also very important, although a lot of exterior scenes have been found, most of them need to be processed, and only Gu Bei and Peng Li are afraid that they will not be able to complete it even if they are exhausted.
Gu Bei: Long live the director.
Peng Li: You are really my sister.
What's more, those illusory scenes that do not exist in real life need to be manufactured manually, and the workload is very large, so the crew needs a group of capable and experienced artists.
was also introduced, and finally invited the artists of the National Ballet of China, Ma Yunhong and Zheng Yueyang, who are colleagues and have a teacher-student relationship, and Li Xiangduo, who is an artist of the Tianjin Peking Opera Company, and is an experienced veteran.
There is also costume design, a few people were arranged in the station, and two were borrowed from Beijing Film Studio, but after reading their design drafts, Yang Jie was not satisfied.
In fact, they are also experienced old fashion designers, but the design solutions they provide are too realistic, lack mythology, and are not glamorous enough.
In the end, it was Ma Yunhong who recommended his wife Wang Yuqi, who was the costume designer of the National Ballet of China, and the design drawings she drew were praised by everyone after reading them.
The rest are the people provided by various departments in Taiwan, but Yang Jie also made a request, the arranger can, but it must be approved by her, if it feels inappropriate at work, she has the right to change it at any time.
Taiwan leaders also agreed.
I guess I don't agree, this old lady is a bar, and she won't give anyone face.
Moreover, at that meeting of the head of the Literature and Art Department, who in the stage didn't know the power of Mrs. Yang!
If you really provoke her, when the time comes, you will still lose face in the end.
Let her toss.
In addition to personnel rights, there are also financial rights.
CCTV's financial system is very strict, and Yang Jie can't accept it if there is no invoice.
Someone had taken this attack before, and asked Yang Jie to provide invoices and receipts when she went out to pick up the scenery, and asked for reconciliation one by one to see where the money was spent.
I'm going to you to be a child.
scolded happily at the time, but this incident also reminded Yang Jie.
It is necessary to make it clear, otherwise the future work will not be carried out.
Because once the film is started, various departments in the crew often need a lot of small props, such as going to the vegetable market to buy a little knacks such as vegetables and radishes, and it is impossible to get an invoice at all.
Fellow, two cabbages are in the driver's seat, and you are tired of issuing an invoice.
Aren't you afraid that the peasant uncle will whip him?
And these small things are indispensable, what if you can't stop paying the account in the station?
Therefore, Yang Jie directly proposed in front of the director Wang Feng that if it was something necessary for filming, it would be impossible to issue an invoice and allow the drama to open a white note.
As long as there is a handler and an acceptor to sign and confirm, she, as the chief director, has the right to review and register the account.
This is obviously unruly, but it is a real problem, and the station leaders agreed to Yang Jie's request considering the actual situation of the crew.
Within the specified amount of money, Yang Jie has the power to approve.
is in power, the crew's work team has also been built, and they will soon set off for Yangzhou.
Yang Jie couldn't help but be secretly excited at the moment, looking at everyone, trying to calm down her mood a little.
"Comrades, our "Journey to the West" is about to start filming, and it is the honor and responsibility of all of us to shoot this drama well.
"There are only two paths in front of us, one is victory and the other is defeat!"
"If it fails, then the responsibility lies with me, the director, it is my ability that is not enough, I have failed to live up to the trust of the leadership, and I have also failed to live up to the expectations of the national TV audience, if it succeeds, it is everyone's efforts in exchange, and it is the credit of all of us!"
"Especially the ...... of you leading actors"
Because it is a pledge meeting, the four leading actors in the play are all in the stage today.
"Now you are all nobodies, and by the time the TV series is broadcast, the four of you masters and apprentices may be famous all over the country, even all over the world, especially monkeys."
Zhang Jinlai, who was sitting below, also had a faint excitement in his expression, and Gu Bei saw that the sixth brother's little fists were clenched.
"It's really that time, I hope you don't forget everyone, it's everyone's strength that shapes you!"
The four masters and apprentices nodded again and again, one of them was a college student who had just graduated, two were young actors on the stage of local opera, and although they were old-timers in human art, they did not have any masterpieces, and they were not very valued in the troupe.
all know that "Journey to the West" is an excellent opportunity for them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
"Director, don't worry, we will work hard."
"Yes, Director Yang, we will definitely live up to your expectations."
The four masters and apprentices got up and expressed their determination one after another.
Yang Jie nodded, motioned for them to sit down, and then said: "Everyone here should have seen the small day "Journey to the West" introduced in the stage, don't say anything else, I believe that the thoughts after watching it are the same, you must work hard to create a new image of Tang monks and apprentices, so that the Chinese and world audiences can recognize it again, and let everyone know what the four Tang monks and apprentices should look like." ”
Anyway, it's not a bunch of neurotics who giggle all day long, and Tang Sanzang is not a woman.
Speaking of this, Yang Jie's heart suddenly surged with a tragic feeling, an opera director who once couldn't even touch a TV series, but now he has taken over such a major task.
She knew that many people in the station were not convinced, and some were even waiting to see her jokes.
The more this is the case, the more Yang Jie secretly resolves that she must fight for this breath.
"Departing on June 28th, everyone get ready, and the meeting is dismissed!"
