At the end of March, "Mysterious Superstar" had its last few shots left in Zhuozhou, so Tang An took the crew to Nanjing.

There are also two scenes from "The Masked Singer" here in Nanjing, as well as a scene in which the music producer played by Lei Jiayin was criticized at the award ceremony.

Correspondingly, the last few remaining scenes in Zhuozhou are scenes of the family watching TV.

Although it was possible to find a stadium to shoot in the capital before, whether it was a program or an award ceremony scene, it took time to prepare and the venue had to be coordinated in advance. There was no filming in the capital before.

Anyway, "The King of Masked Singer" is a collaboration between the group and Jiangning TV.

I can only shoot here, and then I can take some people to Zhuozhou to finish the remaining shots, so it won’t be a hassle.

"The King of Masked Singer" was recorded at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, unlike Canxing's original programs, which were mostly recorded in second- and third-tier cities in order to save money.

The show site was already full of spectators, all of whom were performing for free.

Unlike the original show, there is no guessing team, guest guessing, or judging panel, just four judges.

Moreover, there were no amateurs in the show itself at this time. The original selling point was that some celebrities well-known to the audience sang while covering their faces.

There are four judges, one is Lei Jiayin, the original Wang Feng, and Xu Zheng, who has already finished filming for "Beautiful Heart" and came to join in the fun, as well as the new generation female singer Deng Zhiqi, who just won "I Am a Singer" in January

Overall runner-up.

The female judge will be criticized by Lei Jiayin, she is too old and inappropriate.

Wang Feng and Xu Zheng are just here to make some money, and it doesn't matter whether Xu Zheng is a professional singer or not.

The preparations were left to the people below, and the chief program director of Tudou Pictures was temporarily recruited to help.

"Director Xu, everything seems to be going well with "Heart Blossoms". Do you think there are any problems with breaking the one billion mark this time?"

Tang An and Xu Zheng chatted about the movie, "Heart Blossoms on the Road" was completed half a month earlier than expected.

Considering Ning Hao's current situation, he has just left Pony to stand on his own, and "The Golden Heist" is not very successful. This time, two comedy stars, Xu Zheng and Wang Bo, are brought together. It is obviously necessary to succeed. In this case

He should be more cautious.

However, filming was still completed ahead of schedule. It seems that Ning Hao is very confident about the film this time.

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "It's hard to say one billion, it depends on the situation, but I participated in the whole process of his film, and I think I won't let you, Mr. Tang, lose any money."

Tang An waved his hand, "It doesn't matter whether I pay or not. The important thing is that Ning Hao cannot fail. The older generation of directors are not as good as before. There is a lack of directors in the country who can both make money and ensure quality. If they can make money anytime, they are all bad."

film, that would be troublesome."

Just like the TV drama market later, there were a lot of bad movies everywhere, but it was those bad movies that used two little freshmen to make money that could make money.

How could investors not know it was a bad movie, but the market is already crowded with bad movies.

A good movie may not necessarily make money, but if you follow a certain routine to find a few traffics, buy hot searches, ratings, and promote it, you can make money, and investors will be wondering which movie to make.

Later, "Military Alliance", which stood out among the many costume romance dramas, was of good quality. The story structure, persuasion, lighting, photography, lines, etc. were several ways better than those costume romance dramas.

Regardless of the RP of the leading actors, it does not count as tampering with history. After all, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was all edited, and the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" is also much different from the original work.

It was indeed well-made, although it collapsed after Cao Cao's death. Without such a major character, Li Chen's Cao Pi couldn't hold up.

Being well-produced means spending a lot of money on every aspect. The cost was too high, and in the end no money was made. No satellite TV station was even willing to buy the next part of "Tiger Roars and Dragons Roar".

If it doesn't make money if it's done well, investors actually have no choice. They all want to make money, so they all follow that model and make bad movies.

And when this model is fixed, more and more people rely on this model to make a living, and the interest groups get bigger and bigger, and most people don't dare to break it.

The production of "In the Name of the People" is also of a high standard, but its success is not only due to the production level, the biggest factor is that it directly lifts the darkness of officialdom and spreads it in front of the audience.

It vividly and vividly acted out what the common people wanted to say but did not dare to say, and helped the common people vent their dissatisfaction that had been suppressed in their hearts for many years, so it became a huge hit.

Although there are many bad films in the film industry, they are slightly better than the TV drama industry.

There is no shortage of profitable films in China. With box office revenue reaching tens of billions a year, there will always be films that can make money, unless they are so bad that the audience won't even go to the cinema.

But there is a lack of high-quality movies that can make money. If Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Wu Ershan and others make good-quality movies but don't make money, or they are bad movies but make a lot of money, then it will be a bad thing for the film industry.

When good movies fail to make money, slowly no one will make good movies.

I don't have to worry about "Beautiful Heart", even if I don't know the outcome, as long as Ning Hao can tell a story clearly, Xu Zheng and Wang Bo's comedy talents are enough to support a movie.

Tang An then asked Xu Zheng about his current film contracts and projects, but Xu Zheng had no idea of ​​making a movie yet, but became an investor.

"Dr. Tang, three consecutive films of the "囧" series have been filmed. I'm afraid the audience is a little tired of it, so I thought about it for two years before continuing with the fourth film. Recently, I helped Ning Hao supervise the production of an animated film "The Battle of the Nian Beasts."

President Ya also introduced me to a project called "The Player Behind the Scenes". I have shot a lot of comedies, and I also want to change my career. Moreover, this script has been with the group for half a year, and no one has taken it seriously." Xu Zheng explained.

"The Player Behind the Scenes"?

The company has too many scripts, and it is impossible for Tang An to pay attention to every one of them. Even just looking at the catalog would take a long time.

Tang An recalled that the screenwriter and director of this film, Ren Pengyuan, was an intern at the movie channel a few years ago. At that time, Yaning was the deputy director of the movie channel. It was not surprising that they knew each other.

I stopped directing and started investing instead. As expected, my ambitions will become bigger and bigger when I reach a certain level.

It's so tiring to direct and act on your own. It's much easier to just be an actor and a producer. And you've already achieved great success, so you don't have to think about proving yourself all day long.

Tang An also understood, nodded and said, "Since you are interested in it, let me take the lead. The group and Forbidden City Media can participate in it. You can ask Director Tian for advice on the animated film. He is an expert in this area."

Xu Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Tang An did not let him continue filming the "囧" series.

People are so strange. Before, he desperately needed this series to help him rise quickly.

But now people are popular, not only as directors and actors, but also in the kind of popularity that can make any investor shell out tens of millions or billions just by relying on fame.

However, after becoming successful in the field of comedy, Xu Zheng wanted to prove that he could succeed not only by relying on comedy. Just like Feng Xiaogang, who was already one of the best in the field of comedy, he wanted to transform.

The more successful you are, the more you want. This is a common problem among human beings. Emperors of Qin, Han and Wu wanted to live forever. Look at the ordinary people who think about this.

After chatting with Xu Zheng, Tang An exchanged pleasantries with Wang Feng. Both of them are now mentors in variety shows produced by Tudou Pictures.

More than half an hour later, the chief director of "The King of Masked Singer" who was temporarily hired to handle the scene came to ask for instructions, and everything was ready.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Wang, let's get started."

Tang An nodded, stepped aside and sat behind the monitor.

No introductory remarks are needed, just get started.

The audience at the scene had also been warned one by one by the production team.

It’s not difficult at all, the first scene is about a little boy singing and then being demoted to worthless by Lei Jiayin.

This little boy found a little famous singer Li Zewei. He is 12 years old and has won the annual championship of "Excellent 6+1". He has participated in many children's singing competitions.

The song he sang was "Broad Sea and Sky" by the Xin Band, which was also a song he had sung in many competitions before. He was quite good at it, and it was different from the original noisy singing and dancing song.

After all, the difference between China and Indu is that the people in Indu sing and dance at every turn.

This scene is mainly to highlight Lei Jiayin's poisonous tongue and bad temper.

If the audience first thinks that this child's singing is mediocre, then the character image in the opening chapter will not be established.

Of course, it won't be the sound of nature that moves everyone, otherwise it would be too much.

Her singing skills are still very good, but singing this song is not appropriate at this age.

I once suspected that I was walking in the desert

No matter what kind of dream you sow, it never bears fruit

Just when I spread my wings, the wind became silent

Can getting used to pain be considered gain?

Seven or eight cameras at the scene began to capture the expressions of several audience members and judges. Of course, it was all arranged.

After the singing is over, the audience's reaction must also be filmed, which takes about a second.

After the singing, the host Li Hao, borrowed from Jiangning TV, came on stage and began to ask the judges for their opinions.

Deng Zhiqi spoke first and said with a doting look on her face, "Little brother, you sing so well. Just because you can sing so well at such a young age, I will give you ten points."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Jiayin next to him seemed to have heard something ridiculous and immediately questioned loudly.

"What, ten points for a young age? Do you know that this is a singing show, singing!"

Deng Zhiqi said, "I know how to judge!"

Lei Jiayin pointed his hand and looked at her sideways, "You are just an amateur judge. Seeing that he sings with no emotion at all, he will roar hard during the chorus."

He turned around and looked at the platform, "Boy, you are an insult to singing. Go back and practice for two more years before you come back."

Deng Zhiqi became angry, "How can you say that? Do you know what singing is?"

"Don't interrupt!"

Lei Jiayin pointed his hand at Deng Zhiqi again, stopped her, and then made a sign to the children on the stage to get out.

"Next one!"

The little boy couldn't stand being spoken to like this in public, so he took off the square and threw it on the ground. He walked away with tears in his eyes and a look of grievance on his face.

After the first filming, the audience was unprepared, but they were shocked by Lei Jiayin's arrogant attitude.

"Lei Jiayin's hairstyle is like changing his hair, and his beard makes him look like a 250-year-old."

"This little boy sang "Broad Sea and Sky" very well, but it is a bit inappropriate to sing this song at this age and lacks emotion."
