The so-called "sketch", of course, does not refer to the one that Zhao Benshan performs in the Spring Festival Gala every year, that is a comedy sketch, just a type of sketch.

Sketch generally refers to the short art of speaking and acting, and in general terms, it is a short theatrical performance.

In fact, the students of the acting departments of major colleges and universities have to rehearse a large number of sketches in school every year, either excerpts from various dramas, or a short rehearsal of the plots of some classic film and television dramas, which is their main homework in school.

Let them audition for a sketch, and then let the four mentors choose their favorite players to join the team, for these players, it is no different from normal class work.

That is, those players who are born in the wild may not have experience in this area, but they have more experience in "actual combat", which is another advantage.

However, Wu Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to the recording of "Actors Please Be in Place".

After packing and sending Liu Yifei to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang groups for recording, Wu Yuan was busy with the post-editing and production of "Love Letter".

It's just that before he could get busy for a few days, a strange phone call startled him.

The Spring Festival Gala wants to invite him to be a director

may have tasted the sweetness at the 2008 Olympic Games directed by Zhang Yimou, CCTV also feels that in recent years, the reputation has declined sharply, and it has been complained more and more by the public.

First of all, you have to find a director who understands today's young people and can keep up with the rhythm of the times.

Obviously, Wu Yuan was the best choice.

It's just that Wu Yuan is really not interested in directing the Spring Festival Gala at all.

Although the director of the Spring Festival Gala is also a director, the director of this kind of TV program is actually very different from making a movie, not so much a director, but a chief planner.

90% of film director's skills and techniques are not used in this, and the director is responsible for formulating the program schedule process, and then playing with some stage creativity or something.

Wu Yuan has never been interested in this kind of thing.

He couldn't avoid the selection of directors for the Olympics that year, let alone the Spring Festival Gala.

After a lot of effort and tongue, Wu Yuan declined CCTV's invitation, and set things right and recommended the host Li Yong's wife Ha Wen.

The Spring Festival Gala thing, let's let Harvin come.

At least the Spring Festival Gala and Lantern Festival Gala she held, the reputation is not bad.

After dealing with the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, another thing came to the door non-stop.

Even this time, he couldn't even refuse, so he had to stop what he was doing again and came to a set in the suburbs of Yan.

The first movie "One Thought of Heaven" prepared by Happy Twist has been officially launched.

As one of the investors, the most important thing is that Wu Yuan himself is a very professional director, so Happy Twist, who is making a movie for the first time, strongly invited him to come to the set to see and give advice.

is also because he is indeed one of the employers, and now Happy Twist is a partner again, Wu Yuan can't help but give this face, so he had to agree to the invitation, find a cloudless good day, and come to the crew of "One Thought of Heaven".

"Eh, Director Wu, I can be regarded as looking forward to you!"

Zhang Chen, the chairman of Happy Twist and also the producer of "One Thought of Heaven", came to greet Wu Yuan in person with a smile, holding his hand and not letting go.

Facing Zhang Chen, who was a little over-enthusiastic, Wu Yuan was a little helpless, "Mr. Zhang, didn't the Light and Shadow Era support a group of your very experienced crew members?" ”

"Even the assistant director has arranged one for you."

"I believe they can complete the preparation and filming of the project "One Thought of Heaven" very well, right?"

"One Thought of Heaven" is not a big production, nor does it pursue any cutting-edge shooting technology, it is just a very ordinary 2D feature film.

The Light and Shadow Times sent a group of experienced industry insiders to help, and it was easy to do it.

It can only be said that Zhang Chen attaches too much importance to this project, resulting in a somewhat unbalanced mentality.

This year is not the group of demons dancing after 2015, and making movies is somewhat "sacred", which makes people who make movies for the first time very nervous.

Wu Yuan came here today, in fact, he didn't really come with the idea of "guidance", mainly to cheer up Zhang Chen and them and stabilize their mentality.

"Let's go, let's go see the situation."

Pulling Zhang Chen, Wu Yuan went directly to the set.

Zhang Chen also introduced nervously on the side: "Director Wu, the director of this movie is Director Zhang Cheng, who is one of the screenwriters of "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing". ”

"The book "One Thought of Heaven" was also written by Zhang Cheng himself."

"Although he has participated in the filming of many films, this is also his first time as a director, and there are deficiencies in many aspects, and I hope Director Wu can give you more advice."

In fact, Zhang Cheng, the director of "One Thought of Heaven", Wu Yuan already knew, and Zhang Chen told him once when he read the script.

It's just that Zhang Chen, who is nervous and stressed now, is inevitably a little chattering.

"Actually, I don't know much about comedy." Wu Yuan shook his head and explained: "Ning Hao is much more professional in comedy than me, this Director Zhang has followed Ning Hao to make several comedies, and he should have learned everything he should learn, and there is nothing for me to point out." ”

Wu Yuan is not humbling either.

In his two lives combined, he has not had much contact with comedy, so he has never done any comedy projects in the light and shadow era, and prefers pure investment.

It's because he really doesn't understand comedy.

Even if he may be able to roughly restore the scripts of popular comedy movies such as "Thai Embarrassment" and "Charlotte's Troubles", he has no experience in "making people laugh", and if he really makes a comedy movie, the final result may only be five or six percent of the original.

Doing comedy is really a thing that requires a lot of talent.

If you put it in the way, you are afraid of making the audience laugh, and if it is too wild, it will turn from a comedy to a vulgar movie, how to control this degree depends on the talent of the actors and directors.

How else would "comedians" be singled out among the vast number of actor types?

Or why would comedy movies become a separate film category?

Wu Yuan, who knows that he has no humor and is not a bowl of comedy, is very self-aware and humble in this regard.

"It's fine!" Zhang Chen didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Director Wu, you can just point out our professional skills in filming." ”

"To do comedy, we are happy and professional enough!"

When it comes to the field he is good at, Zhang Chen also showed a somewhat confident demeanor.

They may not have much experience in making movies, but they are too professional in doing comedy, and it is also because of this outstanding level in the field of comedy that Zhang Chen has the ambition to cooperate with Wu Yuan in comedy movies.

"Well, it's good to have that confidence." Wu Yuan also nodded with satisfaction, "Maintain this self-confidence, I believe that Happy Twist will become a pillar of mainland comedy movies in the future!" (End of chapter)
