Chapter 252: Is This a Workplace Drama?
Next, Wang Tai asked Chen Qi in detail about some relevant information about this drama.
Which genre, which theme, how big the investment, who is the starring role, etc.
The front was fine, but when he heard that the starring role of this drama was Lu Li, Wang Tai was stupid again.
She was stunned for a while, but she didn't react.
Lu Li?
is the Lu Li who was ridiculed by netizens and said that he was either acting in a bad movie or on the way to acting in a bad movie?
Well, she found that Chen Qi's vision was really unique!
He can always give people some unprepared "surprises" from time to time.
But putting aside these preconceptions, this combination is really exciting.
It is true that Lu Li has acted in many bad movies, but his popularity is still there.
I don't know if it has something to do with his thick skin.
He acted in a bad movie, but he never denied it.
On many public occasions, he even took the initiative to hack himself with the fact that he acted in too many bad movies......
Probably because of his somewhat heartless character, the audience who likes him can't hate it.
And, of course, more importantly, his acting skills are always online!
After chatting with Wang Tai for a while, Chen Qi also got up to say goodbye.
He's busy right now.
Wang Tai gave him a ride, and then returned to his office with a solemn face.
Is it acceptable, or is it okay to choose?
This is a very serious question.
Wang Tai had a headache.
This is the first time she has faced such a dilemma.
If there was one of these two dramas, she wouldn't be so entangled, but no!
If Shang Ke is really determined to win that drama, she is absolutely sure that she can succeed.
And Chen Qi's drama is even more so.
He took the initiative to come to her today, and she wanted to buy this drama, which is a nod.
So, for the next half a day, the director sat in his office and weighed the pros and cons.
She even took out a pen and paper to list the advantages and disadvantages of working with one of them one by one, for fear of missing any detail.
After a long time of struggling with various comparisons, Wang Tai finally decided to give up Shang Ke.
There is no other reason, and it is safer to cooperate with Chen Qi.
Chen Qi's unpredictability was too big, and she was worried that he would be upset again.
Although the odds are slim, but what if?
Is this kind of small probability thing happening to him less?
If she really spent a lot of money to buy Shang Ke's drama, but in case Chen Qi turned into a dark horse in the end, these two big dramas were trampled underfoot, where would she cry?
But if they choose to do so, their risk is greatly reduced.
If Chen Qi surprises them again, they will make a lot of money!
Of course, for her, this is not the most important thing.
She also just remembered that if Chen Qi really cooperated with other TV stations, then the possibility of him cooperating with their Beijing Satellite TV next time would be very low.
Unless they don't work together very happily, with his character, as long as he cooperates once, he will still cooperate with them next time.
Thinking of this, the elder suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
It's dangerous!
She almost pushed a ratings trump card to her opponent's side.
The decision has been made, Wang Tai did not delay any longer, and quickly dialed Chen Qi's phone, looking nervous that Chen Qi would be snatched away by other stations if he delayed any longer.
......
When Chen Qi received a call from Wang Tai, it was nearly evening.
"Okay, I see. ”
After hearing Wang Tai's words, he also responded with a smile.
This result was not surprising to him.
To be honest, he doesn't really care who he cooperates with, as long as it's a satellite TV channel that can receive signals all over the country, even if it's the kind of person who has no sense of existence, he doesn't care.
As long as he can perfectly remake the classics of the earth, the size of the platform does not matter to him.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qi continued to busy his own business.
Communicate some details with Xu Bunian, notify Lu Li and other actors, etc., etc.
His crew will officially start filming tomorrow.
He also called Kang Yang just now and told him about his crew starting tomorrow.
He also warmly invited him to come over when he had time.
Anyway, everyone is in a film and television city, and it is not too difficult to move around a little.
He is also very grateful to this Kang Dao.
His team has been studying there for more than ten days, and he really gave the greatest convenience.
And in the past ten days, his team has also gained a lot. I already have a familiar understanding of some of the related processes of filming film and television dramas.
The next step is for them to practice on the ground.
As for Chen Qi's invitation, Kang Yang naturally readily agreed.
He was curious about the subject matter and type that Chen Qi was going to shoot!
Not to mention that he happens to be in the same film and television city, even if he is not in the same province, he will probably find a way to take a look.
......
The next day.
Chen Qi came to the film and television city early.
This is his second time here.
He's been too busy to worry about this since he rented it last out.
However, under Xu Bunian's arrangement, the scene has been all arranged according to his requirements. He has also prepared the relevant props and equipment.
Turning around several major venues with an appreciative gaze, Chen Qi nodded with satisfaction.
Although there were some slight differences from the scene in his impression, it didn't have much effect.
That is, when he visited, Xu Bunian Lu Li and his production team also arrived one after another.
Subsequently, under Xu Bunian's arrangement, they held a simple start-up ceremony.
Originally, Chen Qi felt that there was no need to go through these forms, but Xu Bunian said that it was so auspicious, and it wouldn't be long anyway, so he would let him go.
After the start-up ceremony, the production team began to familiarize themselves with the equipment and venue.
Chen Qi gathered several actors and handed them a copy of the script in his hand.
The script is not thick, only the first five episodes.
It's not that he didn't tidy him up, but he just didn't want to take them all out at once.
Speaking of actors, he also went to see a lot of actors in the past few days, but he never picked another suitable one.
He just didn't care, let's shoot first, anyway, the appearance time of several main supporting characters is also very late.
It's really not good, he can also go up and play a cameo role.
Anyway, there are nearly 20 days left before the broadcast, so there is still plenty of time.
It is worth mentioning that the actors in this drama are not well-known except for the starring role Lu Li.
To put it bluntly, the entire crew is the most famous!
"Huh?"
At this moment, Lu Li, who was holding a script study not far away, seemed to have discovered something amazing.
He stretched out his neck and glanced at the scripts in the hands of several other actors on the side, and only after confirming that the scripts in their hands told the same story did he look at Chen Qi with some surprise.
But Chen Qi, who was communicating with Xu Bunian or something, didn't notice him at all.
Lu Li lowered his head and flipped through a few more pages of the script, and then, his whole face wrinkled.
That's not right!
He remembered that when Chen Qi invited him to participate in the performance, he said that this was a workplace drama!
But he has this script in his hand......
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with workplace dramas!
Anyway, he didn't see any connection between it and the workplace after looking at it for a long time.
Then, he looked at Chen Qi with a stunned expression, and the expression on his face was incredible.
No way?!
Is there no lower limit?
Yes, he suspected that he was cheated by Chen Qi!
Seeing that the exchange between Chen Qi and Xu Bunian finally ended, he no longer hesitated and trotted over.
"Director!"
Chen Qi turned his head and threw an inquiring look at him.
Lu Li didn't beat around the bush, raised the crew in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you wanted to make a workplace drama?"
"yes. Chen nodded, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
He knew what Lu Li was going to ask.
Yes, the subject matter of this drama doesn't seem to have anything to do with the modern workplace, but they are actually very closely related.
"Is this a workplace drama?" Lu Li's eyes widened slightly.
He felt that there must be something wrong with the aesthetics of the two of them!
"yes. Chen Qi nodded again.
"It's not ......" Listening to Chen Qi's affirmative tone, Lu Li was a little confused.
He looked at Chen Qi blankly, and his lips moved a few times without saying a complete sentence.
Then, he looked down at the script in his hand again, and after making sure that the text on it really had nothing to do with the workplace he knew, he handed it to Chen Qi and asked, "Director, did you get the wrong script?"
"Don't worry, it's not wrong!" Chen Qi shook his head with a smile and turned to leave, "Hurry up and get acquainted, filming will officially start in the afternoon." ”
"???" Lu Li was stupid.
He seriously suspected that Chen Qi was talking nonsense with his eyes open.
The script clearly tells the story before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and you told me that it was a workplace drama?
I don't read much, don't lie to me!
"No, what's the name of this play?" Lu Li asked loudly towards his back.
The script is there, but there is not even a name on it!
It's a bit amateurish!
"Yu Zecheng's Promotion"!" Chen replied without looking back.
"Yu Zecheng?" Listening to this name that was not unfamiliar, Lu Li looked down at the script again.
That's right!
It's the name of the main character.
But......
Lu Li wanted to speak again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything more, and continued to study the script a little unwillingly.
At this moment, he felt as if his worldview had been challenged!
......
Not far away, Chen Qi was constantly busy.
Adjust the equipment on site.
Communicate with the filming team and explain some details to pay attention to.
He's busy.
As for this drama......
Yes, what he wants to shoot is the famous "Latent"!
This is the best in spy war dramas!
More than ten years have passed, and it has not been surpassed.
Of course, the name "Yu Zecheng's Promotion" is naturally a joke.
This is the alias that some unreliable netizens gave it when ridiculing it.
He was very impressed by this drama, so deep that it popped up in his mind as soon as he heard that Shang Ke had made a workplace drama.
This is one of the few masterpieces in China that can compete with American dramas in terms of overall rhythm.
The rhythm, conflict and suspense of each episode and the ups and downs of the plot are truly addictive!
What's more, every conflict and suspense in it is interlocking!
The series of intricate character relationships in the entire TV series are not chaotic at all under the clever arrangement of the screenwriter.
Very clever!
This is the first time that Chen Qi has learned the breathtaking skills of domestic screenwriters!
So, he decided to shoot it very decisively!
One is that its plot is exciting enough, and the other is that its scenes are not so complicated.
Most of the shots were shot within this themed scene.
......
Under all kinds of non-stop busyness, half a day passed quickly.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the crew was officially operational.
Chen Qi found Lu Li and asked him about his understanding of the script.
Unexpectedly, Lu Li was still struggling with the wrong version.
"Director, don't fool me, what kind of drama is this?"
Chen Qi: "......"
"Why is it that the more I look at it, the more wrong it becomes?"
"......" Chen Qi looked at him with a little crying and laughing, and asked, "What are you worried about? This is a big deal, it's a bad movie, do you still have any pressure?"
"......" The corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he looked at him speechlessly.
Can you still have a good chat?
Do you have to talk to death as soon as you open your mouth?
Seeing his speechless appearance, Chen Qi was immediately happy, and he didn't say anything more, just pulled him and walked to the shooting site, saying as he walked: "Let's go, let's go, shoot first." Anyway, the contract has already been signed, and it's too late for you to regret it. ”
"......" Lu Li shook his head and sighed in his heart.
He was almost sure that he was really cheated by Chen Qi.
It's miserable!
"It's not...... Director, I haven't even been familiar with the script, how can I shoot it? And I haven't changed my makeup yet!" Lu Li looked desperate.
He shouldn't have had illusions about Chen Qi.
Didn't even change your clothes and said to start shooting?
Wearing modern clothes to shoot a scene from decades ago?
What did he think?
Is this really a serious crew?
Lu Li really began to doubt Chen Qi's purpose now.
In fact, he was a little shaken after knowing that he was an actor who could be named in this show.
He felt a little unrealistic.
Chen Qi has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in making shows, why is he so stingy when it comes to filming TV series?
Because for the first time?
It was the first time he did a show for "Singer", and I didn't see him like this at that time!
In this way, you are embarrassed to challenge the director of others?
Do you really want to be cruel and don't want money?
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to change your makeup. Chen Qi, who was walking in front, shook his head very indifferently and said: "Now it's just a walk process to familiarize everyone with the equipment and find out the feeling, it will take at least two days before the official start of filming." ”
Although his heart is big, he is not so big that he really starts filming like this.
His production team is filming a TV series for the first time, so he has to have a time to adapt and run in.
He had to see if the results they shot didn't meet his expectations before deciding on the next arrangement.
Listening to Chen Qi's words, Lu Li also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he should still be a little measured.
