Chapter 57: Everyone's Plan (Part II)
Although Meng Wen agreed, Meng Wen was not ready to shoot "Spicy Next Door" in person. Meng Wen decided to cooperate with the Tianjin Conservatory of Music this time.
Although the two sides have reached a strategic talent cooperation agreement on "Scrap Wood Brothers" before, before reaching an agreement, the roles of "Waste Wood Brothers" have basically been selected. Therefore, this strategic talent cooperation agreement is just to find a few students who are doing chores behind the scenes.
This time, in the filming and promotion of "Waste Wood Brothers", the Conservatory of Music also helped a lot. Especially in the process of filming, there are many problems encountered, because my crew is basically novices, and many of them have asked teachers from the conservatory to help guide them.
Meng Wen also realized the benefits of cooperating with universities, and just took this opportunity to decide to deepen the cooperative relationship between the two sides, and only when both parties can benefit, the cooperative relationship can become more and more stable.
After Meng Wen promised Zhang Dahai and Lu Yan, Meng Wen directly called He Dezheng, the director of drama, film and television. This will make He Dezheng have nothing to do at home, watching TV with his daughter.
The two sides are also acquaintances. Meng Wen directly made his intentions clear to He Dezheng, saying that he had written a script and was going to cooperate with the Conservatory of Music to shoot it. And he is no longer a director, all of them are done by the teachers and students of the Conservatory of Music, and the only requirement is that the two male protagonists in the play must use two students from Tianjin University of Technology.
When He Dezheng heard this, he was really overjoyed. I still think about it these days, how to use Meng Wen's fame to promote myself. I didn't expect Meng Wen to send it to the door by himself, and unlike only a few interns like last time, this time it was a real cooperation, and it was completely filmed by the teachers of his own department.
And listening to Meng Wen's meaning, the scene of this script is relatively simple, just use a dormitory is OK, as for the classroom, playground and cafeteria, it is used casually, and the teachers and students in your department can shoot it by yourself, the only fly in the ointment is that the four male protagonists in the play have to give half to other schools, but it doesn't matter,......
He Dezheng hung up the phone and thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became. This is a real achievement, and the school has always emphasized the need to increase students' opportunities for practice, and to combine theory and practice. In order to find an internship unit for the students, the teacher in my department begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother, and they agreed to give me a chance to do chores.
After filming this script, at least twenty or thirty people must be used before and after, which will get a class internship place. The key is that this is not the chores that I did before, this is my own filming. It's not like those self-made videos taken by classmates blindly, and there are few clicks. This time, it can almost be booked that this drama is not as popular as "Waste Wood Brothers", with Meng Wen's fame, a small fire is absolutely fine.
Especially the protagonists in the play, they have to be cautious, Li Longteng and Wang Qiang, who didn't see "Waste Wood Brothers", were nothing before, and their values were immediately different after filming "Waste Wood Brothers". This is a real benefit, but don't let this matter cause internal contradictions. However, when other teachers found out about this, quarrels were inevitable, and everyone hoped that their favorite student would get this opportunity.
He Dezheng thought there, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth for a while, and a frown for a while......
"Dad, what are you thinking about these half a day? Look at you laughing for a while and frowning for a while, whose phone is it?" He Dezheng's daughter He Fang couldn't help but ask when she saw her father's appearance.
"Do you remember what Meng Wen mentioned to you before? It was he who called your dad and me, saying that he wanted to cooperate with the school and shoot a campus web drama together. ”
"Meng Wen? Is that the same Meng Wen who filmed "Waste Wood Brothers"? Is he going to make an online series again? Is it the second season of "Waste Wood Brothers" or is it new?" He Fang heard that it was Meng Wen, and quickly asked.
"This time it's a campus web drama that tells stories between college students. He's going to shoot at your dad's school. ”
"It's a good thing. Why did you frown just now, and you thought you were in trouble?" He Fang asked strangely.
This time it's not as simple as last time, this time Meng Wen is going to hand over the two male protagonists and all the supporting roles and behind-the-scenes work in the play to the school. I'm thinking about the issue of role allocation? You said that there are only two protagonists, and there are more than a dozen classes from the first year to the fourth year of the film and television department, how can they be distributed? If there is a conflict between teachers and students, what would have been a good thing will become a bad thing. ”
"Ah, is the protagonist also played by school students? What does Meng Wen think?" He Fang asked in surprise, He Fang couldn't help but be surprised, you must know that with the fame of "Waste Wood Brothers", if Meng Wen now releases the tone that he wants to shoot a new online drama, it is estimated that those third-tier and even second-tier stars will have to think of being the protagonists in the play, and he even wants students from the Conservatory of Music to play them.
"I told you, it's a campus web drama, don't look for students to act, who to play. Besides, you can't ask for money when you look for those celebrities?"
"Yes, Dad, you see that I am also a student, or I don't have a daughter, anyway, you have the final say. And I don't want to be paid. He Fang approached He Dezheng and said flatteringly.
"What do you think? This time, the four protagonists are all men, so you don't have a share. ”
"Didn't you just say that there are two male protagonists? Why did you change to four again?"
"There are two protagonists, Meng Wen, who have already been found, and they are students of their school. He Dezheng explained.
"Hmph, there's an inside story at a glance. Since he has already found two of them himself, he will simply let him find the remaining two, anyway, as long as they are students of the conservatory, he will probably not dare to object," He Fang pouted and said.
"yes, it's my daughter who is smart. I can choose it first, and Meng Wen will announce it when the time comes. The more He Dezheng thought about it, the happier he became, and now the only difficulty was solved.
"No, I have to go to Meng Wen's studio now to settle this matter, I have a lot of dreams at night, and I don't know what will happen when school starts next year?" He Dezheng muttered to himself, got up and picked up his coat, and prepared to go out.
"Dad......" He Fang shouted heavily.
He Dezheng was stunned, "What's the matter, oh...... You stay at home first, I'll go to Meng Wen to discuss something, I may not come to dinner at noon, you and your mother will leave me alone. ”
"You tell your mother to go, and I'll go with you too. I haven't seen what Meng Wen looks like, I want to take a good look at what he really looks like, he is so powerful. Well, when the time comes, I will take a group photo and envy the group of classmates in the dormitory. He Fang said narcissistically.
"I'm going to talk about business, why are you going," He Dezheng said helplessly.
"I'm just watching from the sidelines, I won't disturb you" He Fang had an expression that if you don't take me, you don't want to leave.
"Okay, then you hurry up and change your clothes. I'll call Meng Wen first, "He Dezheng has no choice but to agree to his daughter."
"Okay, you don't allow yourself to sneak away" He Fang happily ran back to his house and changed his clothes.
......
When He Dezheng and He Fang arrived at Meng Wen's studio, there were only three people left in the studio: Meng Wen, He Hai and Wang Ting. "Waste Wood Brothers" has been filmed, and there is no need for everyone to spend it in the studio.
Meng Wen was discussing with He Hai about the script of "Spicy Next Door", Meng Wen decided to let He Hai serve as the director of "Spicy Next Door", and let He Hai exercise more, anyway, He Hai is also from the Conservatory of Music, and he will not object if he wants to come to He Dezheng.
After He Dezheng came, he immediately joined Meng Wen and He Hai's discussion army, while He Fang chatted with Wang Ting outside.
He Dezheng heard that Meng Wen was going to let He Hai be the director, so he agreed without thinking about it. Anyway, it's his nephew, and the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders. The three of them together can be considered to be formalized, with He Hai as the director, Meng Wen as the producer and screenwriter, and at the same time responsible for the selection of actors, and He Dezheng as the producer. As for the producers, Yonglong Studio and the Conservatory of Music are the two parties, of course, the income generated by the online drama is also divided equally by the Yonglong Studio represented by Meng Wen and the Film and Television Department of the Conservatory of Music represented by He Dezheng.
The three of them only waited for the school to start next year, and they officially started filming "Spicy Next Door......
