Chapter 202: Public Relations Tools
Director Yang Jie's passionate and generous speech on the platform really inspired the morale of the big guys, but unfortunately, no matter how strong this buff is, it can't withstand the toss of three days and two nights.
When they finally arrived at their destination, the entire crew of more than 100 people seemed to have just fled.
After checking in, I threw my head into the bed and slept in the dark.
It's not the first time they've come to Fujian, the last time they came here was to shoot "Woe to Guanyin Temple", they came by train from Hunan, and this time they started in Beijing, almost across the north and south of China, and it's really not something that ordinary people can bear.
A young man like Gu Bei is fine, take a bath, sleep for a night, and be fine, but Director Yang Jie, as well as old comrades like Wang Chongqiu and Wang Xizhong, will be offended.
The next day, when Gu Bei went to find Director Yang Jie, the old lady was still lying on the bed, her body was straight, and Wang Chongqiu, who was taking care of her, was not much better.
Seeing Gu Bei coming in, the first thing he did was to ask Gu Bei to help him apply plasters.
"I'm really guilty."
Wang Chongqiu lay on the bed after applying the plaster, and the old gentleman, who was usually full of energy, was sore all over his body at this time, and he didn't even bother to move.
"Xiao Gu, Peng Li, they haven't arrived yet?"
Yang Jie is lying in bed, and she hasn't forgotten to work.
Peng Li's art team came over a week ago, and the location had to be rearranged.
"I heard Li Chengru say that he only came back in the middle of the night last night."
"Haven't cleaned it up yet?"
Yang Jie frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the work efficiency of the art team.
Gu Bei didn't speak, and glanced at Wang Chongqiu.
Wang Chongqiu hurriedly said: "Don't criticize Xiao Peng and them, it's not that they don't work hard and don't take it seriously, after all, there are too many objective factors, and you have to understand." ”
That's just right.
Just now, Gu Bei saw Peng Li in the canteen of the guest house, and the other party complained to him vigorously.
Two years have passed since the location was chosen, and it is no longer the same as when I came before.
Not to mention anything else, many modern things have no way to hide at all, so they can only find another place.
You can't let people pull out the telephone poles because they are filming!
Yang Jie was silent for a long time without speaking, and finally just sighed.
"I understand what's the use, we have to catch up with our progress as soon as possible."
An extra day for the crew to stay outside is a large amount of money, but now the funds given to "Journey to the West" by the station have only fulfilled two-thirds of the promise, and the money has been almost spent.
"Lao Wang, Xiao Gu, don't say good things for them, I won't ask anything else, Xiao Gu, just say, is Peng Li ready?"
"Alright, alright!"
Gu Bei hurriedly said.
After Peng Li and others came over, they found that the original location could not be filmed, so they kept looking for a new shooting location, and finally found a more suitable place in a small ravine.
The space is large enough, and the most important thing is that there is no one to live in, which can make the crew toss with strength.
After speaking, Gu Bei also took out two photos, one is the place where Tang Seng met Guanyin Bodhisattva after driving away Sun Wukong, and the other is the house where Tang Seng and Sun Wukong's master and apprentice stayed.
Yang Jie took it and looked at it, and then handed it to Wang Chongqiu: "You can also take a look." ”
Before Wang Chongqiu could speak, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Bei hurriedly went over and opened the door, and it was Yan Huaili and Ma Dehua who came.
"Director Yang, how are you resting?"
As soon as Yan Huaili came in, he saw Yang Jie lying on the bed with a haggard face, and hurriedly asked with concern.
"I'm fine, Lao Yan, how are the actors doing?"
Yan Huaili is the actor captain of the crew, and he is usually in charge of the management of the actors.
"It's all good, I'm coming to you, it's a performance, we just moved in yesterday, and the local leader sent someone over, you see ......"
Yan Huaili said that the performance was not filming, but the crew and the local party.
Speaking of which, this activity was held as early as 82, when the crew was filming "Stealing Ginseng Fruit" in Qingcheng Mountain.
At that time, the local authorities came to visit, and when they were leaving, they asked if they could find time to have a big party.
Director Yang Jie considered that everyone had been busy filming, and it was really hard, so he wanted to let everyone relax, so he agreed.
Later, I found an auditorium at the foot of the mountain, and the actors of the crew also crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, and they all performed the show, not only the four masters and apprentices, but also the team actors and the actors who were in the crew at that time were on the show.
Like Zhang Jinlai acting in a monkey play, Xiang Han performing a sketch, drivers Li Lianyi and Ma Dehua also talked about cross talk, and the party was very lively.
Unexpectedly, after this party, the crew's work in the local area also became extremely smooth, and when they found the relevant departments to seek cooperation, the other party had nothing to say.
This event inspired director Yang Jie, and I feel that this form can be preserved as a means of public relations.
The crew itself is also completely conditional, the main actors and team actors have their own reserved programs, in addition to their original will, they can also do some new programs, plus the new actors added to each episode, you can form a scale of the party.
In the future, every time I go to a new place, as long as there is a condition, I will use my spare time to have a party.
In this way, you can get closer to the local leaders and ask them to make it easier for the crew to work.
Isn't it great?
Director Yang Jie's idea is really good, but unfortunately there are some good things, if you meet the wrong person, you can also change your taste.
For example, when the crew was filming "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" in Boyue Cave, Lengshuijiang City, the local leaders sent someone to come to the door after learning that the crew had arrived, and asked the crew to hold a party for them.
Although Director Yang Jie was unhappy because of the charge from the director of the cultural department, she still agreed to film in the local area smoothly, but after the filming was over.
But the other party repeatedly asked for a little earlier, and it was better to perform two shows!
After a lot of idle skin, Director Yang Jie only agreed to play one game for them, after all, it can't add too much burden to the actors and affect the filming progress in the future.
After filming, the crew also performed as scheduled, and this performance also caused a sensation in the local area.
Gu Bei was at the scene at the time, because the audience was too enthusiastic and there were too many people coming, and in the end, even the aisles and windows were crowded with audiences.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the leader of the Cultural Affairs Bureau actually sold tickets for this performance.
That night, when he was about to leave Lengshuijiang City, Yan Huaili found Yang Jie and told him about it, and the other party had to give the crew a few hundred yuan.
This is clearly to block the crew's mouth.
Of course, Yan Huaili also understood this truth, and excused himself not to, but the other party said that he didn't agree to anything, so he had to take it back and ask Director Yang Jie how to deal with it?
Director Yang Jie was very surprised at the time, because it was said that it was a party, why did he sell tickets?
How can this work, buying tickets is the behavior of the other party, and it has nothing to do with the crew, but if the crew also collects money, once people poke it out, it will not only affect the reputation of the crew, but also easily cause big trouble.
Yan Huaili took it back again, but the other party said that he would not accept anything, and pretended to apologize for not explaining it in advance.
It's really people's hearts that don't go through the ages.
Yan Huaili had no choice but to take the money back and put it in front of Director Yang Jie.
Just for such a few hundred dollars, the big guy also deliberately started a discussion.
Some think that it can be used to improve the crew's food, some think that it is not the tickets sold by the crew, and it doesn't matter if you take it, and some say that since you have paid for it, you should take it.
Babbling endlessly!
In the end, it was Gu Bei, seeing that Director Yang Jie was in a dilemma, so he made a suggestion to let the people participating in the performance take the money and divide it, even if it was an unexpected labor fee.
As for how to distribute it, the crew doesn't ask or participate!
Director Yang Jie also agreed to the handling method proposed by Gu Bei, and also emphasized repeatedly that the crew will never participate in ticket-selling performances in the future, which is contrary to the original intention.
But because of this incident, after the crew returned to Beijing, when they were filming the Tiangong drama in the studio hall, they found Director Yang Jie in the station, and a leader found Gu Bei, because it was Gu Bei who proposed a way to deal with the money and asked Gu Bei to write an inspection!
At that time, when Gu Bei heard that he was asked to write an inspection, he felt inexplicable, unlike other employees, who directly followed what the leader said, but asked why.
The leader said that someone sued the crew, and the lawsuit went to the top, and the crew of "Journey to the West" was making money by performing outside privately.
Because he was too busy with work, Gu Beidu had forgotten about the performance in Lengshuijiang City, and asked the other party, when did the crew make money from the performance?
The leader told Gu Bei that it was a person from Lengshuijiang City who wrote a report letter to expose it.
When Gu Bei heard the words "Lengshuijiang", he immediately remembered it, and he was tired of choking enough.
When even retorted: "The crew didn't sell tickets, everyone didn't know about it in advance, and they didn't take the money afterwards, why write a review!" ”
Gu Bei then told the leader about the situation, if he didn't believe it, the station could investigate.
The leader seemed to have figured it out, but still warned: "Since this is the case, there is no need for inspection, but no matter what, the final opinion on the handling of that money was put forward by you, and it is best to write a situation report to the station!" ”
Gu Bei also made a stubborn mistake: "We are not wrong, what report to write?" ”
The leader didn't expect Gu Bei's temper to be so hard at that time, if it was an ordinary employee, it is estimated that he would have been reprimanded a long time ago, but who made Gu Bei a rising star in Taiwan, the leaders of Taiwan, and even the leaders of radio and television were registered.
"You explain the situation, so that all parties can have an explanation!"
"I've made it clear, what else do I need to explain? Besides, the crew is so busy, and I don't have time! ”
After speaking, Gu Bei walked away!
Like Gu Bei, the Taiwan leaders found Director Yang Jie and asked her to write a review, but she was also strongly rejected by the old lady.
Later, when things were figured out, it turned out to be a local audience, who was dissatisfied because he didn't buy tickets for the party that day, so he wrote such a letter to the crew, which really made people laugh and cry.
It's just that because of this incident, Gu Bei's evaluation in front of the leader has also decreased a lot, but fortunately, the Spring Festival Gala was a great success later, so he didn't let the leader wear small shoes for him.
Listening to Yan Huaili talk about the performance at this time, Gu Bei immediately thought of that unpleasant experience again.
No, not unpleasant.
It's just a disaster.
"Teacher Yan, you have to talk to the other party."
Without waiting for Gu Bei's words to finish, Yan Huaili said with a smile: "Don't sell tickets." ”
After hearing him say this, everyone in the room laughed.
"Let's act, we have to stay here for a long time, and we have a good relationship with the local area, so that we can work more smoothly in the future."
Director Yang Jie said after laughing.
Yan Huaili nodded.
Then, Yang Jie asked Ma Dehua again: "Old Ma, what is the matter with you?" ”
Ma Dehua smiled: "It's also a performance!" ”
It turned out that Ma Dehua and others had rehearsed a new program to perform the "Four Little Swan Dance" in "Swan Lake".
Just after listening to Ma Dehua talk about the four actors, it made people cry and laugh.
In addition to Ma Dehua, there is also Han Shanxu, who plays the old man in the episode "Hou Wang Bao Tang Seng", as well as Li Lianyi, the driver of the crew and an actor in the team, plus Lao Li, who is in charge of costumes in the group.
These people stand together, tall and short, fat and thin, with different images.
Standing on stage, it is enough to make people laugh without acting.
The performance was scheduled for the evening, there was no auditorium in the area, and the final choice was in the cafeteria of a middle school, which was very spacious and the stage was temporarily set up by the art team.
There were a lot of people who came, and the students and teachers of the school were the first to get the best position in advance, and then the local people poured in.
Some of them really didn't come in, but simply looked outside through the window.
I have to say that there are too few entertainment methods for ordinary people now, especially when the crew came to a small place in Fujian this time.
When I learned that the crew of "Journey to the West" was going to come here to film, I was almost boiling.
The masses were so enthusiastic, and the big guys also showed their housekeeping skills, Gu Bei naturally couldn't hide, so he took the school's accordion and came to a song "My Motherland and Me".
Although he is not a professional, he has a good voice, and at the end of the singing, the teachers and students on the scene directly followed the music to a chorus.
It's just that Gu Bei is not the most showy, when Ma Dehua and others appeared on the stage in the small skirts they had made, it was like they were about to explode in the cafeteria. m.
The image alone already made the audience laugh like crazy, and when they jumped to the music, it was a stomachache from laughter!
As soon as I danced a paragraph, many of the audience in the audience were already laughing straight up!
This is a "swan", it's just a bunch of monsters.
Gu Bei was also laughing, he remembered that the Journey to the West crew had held a Spring Festival party in his previous life, and at that party, Ma Dehua dressed up as Zhu Bajie and danced a ballet.
Not to mention, Zhu Bajie looks quite bloated, and he is really dexterous when he dances.
The performance was very successful, and the local leaders were also very satisfied, and when it was over, they also took Director Yang Jie's hand to express their gratitude.
Looking at the excited appearance of the other party, the next shooting work should be very smooth!
Some people died, but not completely......
