The heroine Sheng Minglan is in place, and the rest will be brought forward by the center to contact the play.

Chen Hong does not have a work unit now, and when he goes out to film during school, he must obtain the consent of the school.

Gu Bei didn't care about these things, and naturally Ruan Ruolin represented the center to communicate with the other party.

In the following days, the remaining small roles were also selected one after another.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, Gu Bei actually really built the crew of "Do You Know", the actors and crew were all assembled, and the rest was waiting for the start.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Ruan Ruolin looked at the report handed in by Gu Bei, and his hanging heart fell back into place.

These days, she has been in a hurry.

Every time I go to the stage for a meeting, I have to face the criticism of many people, and those people open their mouths and keep their mouths shut is that she is nepotistic and fooling around with the future of the center.

At the beginning, Ruan Ruolin could still refute, but seeing that Gu Bei was unhurried and the preparations were never completed, she couldn't help muttering in her heart.

Fortunately, Gu Bei didn't disappoint her in the end, she didn't seem to have made any big moves, but unconsciously, she put everything that needed to be prepared into practice.

The most surprising thing for Ruan Ruolin was that Gu Bei didn't know what means he used, so he actually found Gong Li and played the role of queen in the play.

Although Gong Li is now criticized in China because of emotional problems, Ruan Ruolin doesn't care about that.

She watched the movie "Red Sorghum" and was particularly impressed by Gong Li's performance.

"Xiao Gu, what are you going to do next?"

After repeated research, the start-up time has been set for March 10 of the next year, and there are still more than two months to go.

"It's almost the New Year, let's relax first, the fifth day of the first month is officially concentrated, and I am going to give the actors a simple training before starting the film."

"Training? Like Director Wang? ”

Gu Bei smiled and waved his hand when he heard this: "I want to too, but that's unrealistic, most of the actors used by Director Wang are newcomers, they have no acting foundation, and if they don't have training, they can't shoot the drama at all." ”

Ruan Ruolin nodded, Gu Bei was telling the truth.

"Although most of the actors in "Know" are newcomers, most of them have acting experience before, even if they have never acted, they are also from professional classes, or they are studying and acting, I am not very worried, this training is mainly to teach them some ancient etiquette, don't wait for the time to start, act like a four."

Some aspects can be interpreted, but some things still need to be rigorous.

Gu Bei didn't want his first work to be filmed, and when the time came, it would give some people the opportunity to pick a bone in their eggs.

"In addition, in terms of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I also learn a little simply, just have a flower shelf, I can't even know how to hold a pen, then it will make people laugh."

"That's right, you should really teach it simply, please ask the instructor to arrange it, you don't have to bother. What else? I've heard before that the design of the art team has been approved, so don't you take advantage of the training period to make the preparations first? ”

"This needs to be coordinated by the central side, the location of "Do You Know" is mainly used in the previous "Dream of Red Mansions", such as Ningrong Street, and Daguan Garden, it is definitely not possible to use it directly, more or less to make some modifications, in this case...... People may not want to. ”

Ningrong Street, used by the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", is somewhere in Hebei that cannot be explained, and Daguanyuan is in Beijing, but it is not CCTV's industry.

But people pay so much, but also to stimulate local tourism resources.

Now that the crew of "Do You Know" wants to film, they will definitely destroy the original building.

Can people say yes?

Ruan Ruolin pondered for a while and said: "I'll report this matter to Wang Tai, let's let the station come forward to coordinate, it's a big deal to wait until the filming is over, and then resume as it is." ”

It's the most cost-effective way to do it, and it's much more cost-effective than building a new location.

But even with the legacy of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", there are still some exterior scenes that need to be re-erected, and this part cannot be saved before.

"Leader, what I can do is to save as much as I can, and spend every penny on the blade as much as possible, but you also know that the plot of "Know" is too long, and I am going to shoot 80 episodes with a budget of 3 million, which is indeed a little less."

If it is completely indoors, 3 million is enough.

But in that case, it would be too petty.

In the story, the royal regime experienced two coup d'état, one against the Yan Wang, and one when the Queen Mother mutinied.

This kind of thing has always been done when it was not a river of blood.

If they all focus on interior shooting, will they just rely on lip service to rebel, and then rely on lip service to quell the rebellion?

Therefore, there should still be a scene.

All Gu Bei can do is to save money as much as possible, for example, when King Yan rebelled, he set up a set for the main gate of the emperor's bedroom, the queen mother mutinied, and then built a city gate building on a small scale.

But this ......

Gu Bei had found someone to make a budget before, and these two sets alone would cost hundreds of thousands, to say the least.

In this way, 3 million is not enough at all.

Ruan Ruolin kept saying that he wanted to find a way to save expenses, but some money could be saved, and some money could not be saved at all.

In the final analysis, Gu Bei, as a director, is responsible for the artistic quality of the work.

If CCTV agrees to accept personal investment and share the copyright at that time, Gu Bei himself will be able to make up the rest of the money, even if it is a little loss when the copyright is distributed.

However, it is obviously not possible.

Even when the railway department invested in "Journey to the West", CCTV only repaid the money and added acknowledgments at the beginning and end of the film.

The 2 million that Gu Bei smashed into was reluctantly agreed to be accepted by CCTV in the name of sponsorship.

Listen, it's hard for people to collect money.

Want to share copyrights?

That can only be ...... Just think about it.

Ruan Ruolin listened, as if she had expected it, and was not surprised.

"About money, I can't promise you for the time being, it's still the same sentence, you shoot first, what's the matter, I'll talk about it then, but I also have to say hello to you in advance, don't go too far." 33

Don't overdo it?

Gu Bei smiled and nodded, although Ruan Ruolin didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear.

As long as the scene is filmed and the money is spent, can the station really shoot half of it and stop "Do You Know"?

"Know" is not "Journey to the West".

Most of the stories in "Journey to the West" have one story per episode, even if the filming really has to be stopped in the middle, the finished part will not affect the broadcast.

"Do You Know" is different, if the filming is really stopped halfway, the money spent will be wasted.

When the time comes, Taili will naturally have to find a way.

As for what Ruan Ruolin said, don't go too far.

is also a reminder to Gu Bei, otherwise, Gu Bei will spend money lavishly, and the budget overrun will be serious, even if the station is willing to throw money into it, Gu Bei, a loser, will have to stand aside.

"Don't worry, you understand!"

After the filming of "Do You Know" is completed, how much money it will cost and how much overspending will be in Gu Bei's heart.

When making the budget, Gu Bei made two copies, one of which was to deal with Taili to ensure that the project could pass the review and be approved smoothly.

And then there's the real budget.

"You slippery, don't think I don't know what you did, be careful, now many people are staring at you, I can still keep it if you make a small mistake, if it's a big problem, I can only be unlucky with you at most."

When Gu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but show embarrassment, obviously his small method of cultivating the plank road and secretly Chen Cang could not hide it from Mrs. Ruan's eyes.

"Don't worry, no matter what time it is, it won't affect you!"

"Fart! I'm betting on the future of the center on the drama "Do You Know", if this drama is smashed, do you think I can hide from it? ”

Belch......

Apparently not!

From the day Ruan Ruolin overrode public opinion and recommended Gu Bei to be the director of this play, the future and fate of the two people were tied together.

Coming out of Ruan Ruolin's office, Gu Bei found Feng Pants and asked him to inform him that tomorrow morning, the main persons in charge of all departments of the crew, as well as the main actors, will all come to the center for a meeting.

"Zhang Li, this year's Spring Festival, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home again!"

Zhang Li was busy sorting out the materials, and when she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and only when she came back to her senses did she realize that today was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the day after tomorrow was Chinese New Year's Eve.

"It's okay! Thankfully, I wasn't alone this time. ”

During the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", except for one year, due to financial problems, the crew was on vacation, and Zhang Li returned to her hometown once during the Chinese New Year, and the rest of the years were spent in the crew.

At first, she felt quite lonely and desolate, but after a few years, she has long been used to it.

"Chinese New Year's Eve, come to my house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!"

Gu Bei took the initiative to send out an invitation.

Zhang Li hesitated, but still shook her head: "I still don't go, I can celebrate the New Year in the dormitory, and there are other colleagues!" ”

CCTV has a lot of employees in other places, and the more it is the time for the Chinese New Year, the busier the work in the station becomes, and most of them can't go home.

Gu Bei didn't say anything, he also felt that his family was reunited, Zhang Li looked at it, I'm afraid it was even more unpleasant.

"Okay, we'll talk about it then."

Gu Bei said, opened the folder, and continued to refine his storyboard script.

Originally, I just wanted to be an assistant director, continue to study for a period of time, and thoroughly familiarize myself with the management of the crew.

Unexpectedly, his script was so unpopular, and in the end, he forced him to catch ducks on the shelves and picked the lead.

However, since he wants to do it, Gu Bei must strive to do his best.

Fortunately, the whole drama has been brushed several times in my last life, and on the premise of following the cats and tigers, I will make some upgrades in the details.

Gu Bei didn't believe it, with the advantage of his reborn, he couldn't go to the next level on the basis of the classics.

Some people died, but not completely......
