77, in full swing
After listening to Zhang Si's plan, He Miao had to admit that it was very interesting, very interesting, and ingenious.
"Zhang Si, the project is no problem, but there must be a producer, who will do it. ”
He thought that Zhang Si was a newcomer and didn't understand the production process of film and television dramas, so he explained to him, but Zhang Si had participated in many big projects in his previous life, and he was already very familiar with this set, and he was a student of the directing department of Peking Film Academy!
"Finding a producer is no longer something I can do, I hope the factory will support, but I will do the project approval report with Director Zhang first, and both sides will be carried out at the same time, without delaying time. ”
For the drama "Little Drama Bone", the script is not the most important, because the interpretation is a classic, such as "Dream of Red Mansions", the story is ready-made, and it only needs to be adapted, and since it is a classic, of course, it cannot be changed, so the script adaptation will be relatively simple.
However, adapting existing novels is not as simple as laymen think.
Once, Zhang Si joined a film project, which was to adapt a popular tomb robbery novel, when the author of the novel volunteered to adapt the script, the producer was worried that he couldn't handle it, so he asked Zhang Si to help, but people were enthusiastic, and Zhang Si didn't say anything, but after half a month, the adapted script was never taken, called and asked, changed and deleted, deleted and changed, and it has not been made yet.
So you see, script writing is still very professional, with its own set of writing processes, and it's not just a matter of changing the novel to a different model.
For Zhang Si, the most important thing at present is the project plan of "Little Drama Bone", and it takes a lot of effort to make the factory think that this project is feasible, especially such a children's play, which has nothing to learn from and reference.
Zhang Si and Zhang Tongshun hid in the office and pondered, and it took two days to get a project report, which was first handed over to He Miao, and after he saw that there was no problem, Zhang Tongshun handed it over to Zhu Ruopu, the minister of the film and television department, and he dealt with Zhu Ruopu more than Zhang Si.
After doing this, Zhang Si and Zhang Tongshun got off work, and the next two days are weekends, so you can rest, and next week will be a busy week.
The two entered the elevator, and two more came in, one of them looked familiar, Zhang Si quickly remembered, isn't this Wang Yifan, the star of "Jin Section Chief"? !
He glanced at Zhang Tongshun quietly, saw that his face was normal, and nodded to Wang Yifan with a smile, and said that he was off work.
The two have a bad relationship because of the third season of "Chief Jin", even if the adult city government keeps them from having a bad relationship, but at least they have a bad heart.
Wang Yifan also nodded at Zhang Tongshun, and said yes without being salty.
It was a young man beside Wang Yifan who chatted with Zhang Tongshun for a few words, and glanced at Zhang Si with a little meaning.
From these few words of chat, Zhang Si knew that this young man was the director of the new season of "Chief Jin".
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are starting to prepare for another project?" The elevator was going down, perhaps it was too quiet and a little embarrassing, and the young director took the initiative to talk.
Zhang Tongshun said flatly: "Yes, I have just started to prepare, but I haven't approved the project yet." ”
This person and Wang Yifan stood on the left side of the elevator, Zhang Si and Zhang Tongshun stood on the right side of the elevator, and the two sides were unconsciously distinct.
When Wang Yifan heard Zhang Tongshun's words, his head wanted to look at it, but he returned to his original state halfway through, didn't ask anything, didn't say anything.
"I heard that it's a drama about children acting?" the young director seemed very interested and asked more.
Zhang Tongshun said: "I want to try something new. ”
The young director flattered him twice, and when the elevator arrived, Wang Yifan went out first, almost squeezing Zhang Si. The young director looked at Zhang Si slightly apologetically, smiled, and went out after him.
Zhang Tongshun and Zhang Si glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Now we are riding a tiger and it is difficult, otherwise it will become a joke." ”
Zhang Si corrected: "This is not called riding a tiger, this is the starting pistol has been fired, we have to run hard." ”
At the same time, Wang Yifan, who was far away, and the young director got into the car, and Wang Yifan asked: "What is the situation of the drama you just asked?"
He didn't say Zhang Tongshun, but anyone knew that he was asking Zhang Tongshun about the drama.
The young director immediately introduced what he knew to Wang Yifan, and after Wang Yifan heard it, he said half-jokingly: "Children play at home." ”
"It's pretty casual. ”
The young director took it and didn't say anything more, after all, it was Wang Yifan who fell out with Zhang Tongshun, not him, so he didn't need to choose a side for himself.
79. I've never seen such arrogance when I'm so old
As soon as he got to work on Monday, Zhu Ruopu, the minister of the film and television department, convened a meeting between Zhang Si and Zhang Tongshun, with the theme of "Little Drama Bone".
Over the weekend, he read the project report carefully, which was very interesting, but it was also risky, and he had never had a drama of the same type before, if it could be filmed, it would be a precedent.
The project report focused on the market prospects of this drama, which made him quite excited, and after thinking about it, compared with the potential risks, the benefits are more considerable, and it is worth a try.
After a long meeting and discussion, Zhu Ruopu invited a middle-aged woman, who was the producer of the project he liked.
"You can discuss this project carefully, and come to me if you have any questions. Zhu Ruopu said that after setting up the main management structure of the project, then the matter will be handed over to them, and he will no longer care about everything.
The producer's name is Gao Xiaolan, and she knows Zhang Tongshun, but because Zhang Si is a newcomer, he still specially introduced himself.
Zhang Si said uneasily: "Although it is a small drama bone, and the actors on the scene are all children, but the level of the film cannot be relaxed because of this, makeup, scenery, everything must be made according to the standard that should be." ”
Zhang Tongshun asked: "What is the standard that should be?"
Zhang Si said firmly: "It's the main drama." ”
Zhang Tongshun glanced at Gao Xiaolan and nodded: "Of course, since we want to do it, we are not here to play." ”
The three of them had a morning meeting, and after the meeting was dismissed, they went their separate ways.
The producer has to apply for project funds, etc., Zhang Tongshun has to start building a shooting crew and looking for young actors, and Zhang Si has to write character biographies, episode outlines, and scripts.
Gao Xiaolan was worried that he wouldn't be able to do it alone, so she asked if she wanted to find a helper.
If Zhang Si is really a newcomer, then he is really busy, you must know that the project has been started, all the work is advancing rapidly, the script is going to come out first, and there is not much time left for him.
But Zhang Si was a senior screenwriter in his previous life, not to mention projects like "Little Drama Bone", which is more complicated than this, and projects that are more urgent than this time have been contacted.
"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I can hand over the script when I go to work the day after tomorrow, so I don't need to find someone for the time being. ”
Gao Xiaolan didn't know if he was reckless or really capable, so she smiled and didn't say anything, it's a good thing that young people are motivated, dare to fight, she can't hit her enthusiasm, and more importantly, she guessed that she just joined the project.
"Script, script, script, then we will wait for your good news. ”
Separated from their respective busyness, Zhang Si locked himself in the office and buried himself in writing the script.
The first season of "Little Drama Bone" is written about the clip of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden in "Dream of Red Mansions", and the content must be extended, Zhang Si's plan is to divide it into 9 episodes, each episode is 25 minutes.
