Chapter 415 Preparing for the Lunar New Year, rookies, get ready to fly!
The filming of the fourth episode of "China" is still going smoothly.
After the first three episodes of running-in, the entire crew has clearly become a hard-working unit.
Coupled with the participation of veteran actors from the Kyoto People's Art Theater, the filming was as smooth as a cloud!
When the filming of the fourth period ended, the time had just reached four o'clock in the afternoon.
Seeing the crew members busy packing up the props, Xiong Chunhan's eyes were inexplicably complicated.
"Haozi, come here, I have something to tell you."
He called Wang Hao into the car, frowned and said, "Haozi, why do I feel that you are deliberately reducing your role?"
In the fourth issue, Wang Hao played a character who only appeared for less than ten minutes.
Although this role is equally important in history and also famous during that period, it is not so prominent compared to other roles.
Xiong Chunhan had been vaguely aware of this since the third episode of filming.
In that episode, he originally thought that Wang Hao would play the important character "Li Si", but no matter what, it was the emotional and impressive "Han Fei".
But he never expected that he would choose Xun Kuang, who only served as a link between the previous and the following.
His series of decisions made Xiong Chunhan vaguely aware that something was wrong, and in this issue, the doubts in his heart were even more intense!
He can be sure that Wang Hao is constantly reducing his role in order to escape!
only……
Why did he do this?
Seeing the slight urgency on Xiong Chunhan's face, Wang Hao smiled and said: "The ratings of "China" are now stable. As long as we follow the script step by step and ensure the quality, it will be the same with or without me.
.”
"But……"
Xiong Chunhan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted again by Wang Hao: "The fourth episode is the last time I will participate in the filming. There will be eight episodes next. I will give you all the scripts at once, and you will be fully responsible for the planning.
and filming.”
"You know, this documentary has been successful! I just took the lead, that's all."
"It is on the right track now, and you are the helmsman controlling its progress. I am just a somewhat useful deputy on the big ship."
"Even without me, under your control, the ship will still move forward steadily!"
Wang Hao's eyes were extremely firm.
This was a decision he made after thinking for a long time!
The ratings of "China" have been stable, and it is only a matter of time before it enters the "China Entertainment Archives". He has successfully completed the system task.
As for the distribution of rewards, it is just a matter of time.
The reason why he didn't leave early was because he was a little worried.
But after shooting the second and third periods, he found that with the participation of veteran actors from the "Kyoto People's Art Theatre", the quality of the films produced had been significantly improved!
Wang Hao paid special attention to the comments from netizens, and netizens praised the acting skills of those veteran actors.
They really brought the historical figures they played to life!
Under such circumstances, Wang Hao could naturally withdraw in advance, and he could use the free time to do more things.
Seeing that Wang Hao had made up his mind, Xiong Chunhan stopped trying to dissuade him.
The audience for documentaries is different from that of movies and TV. Especially documentaries that narrate history attract mostly historical scholars, professors, history buffs and the like.
In the eyes of these audiences, acting skills are the most important, and as for appearance, they will not pay any attention to it.
Therefore, as long as the quality of subsequent films can be guaranteed, it makes no difference whether or not Wang Hao is involved.
Of course, this situation only applies to feature films, and dubbing is still inseparable from him.
For a good documentary, the content is important, but the narration and explanation are also top priority!
What's more, the dubbing of the movie "China" is one of the biggest attractions in the whole film. Many people even watch this documentary just to listen to the narration.
…
After chatting a lot with Xiong Chunhan and promising that he would hand over all the scripts for the next eight issues to him in the evening, Wang Hao returned to the hotel in Hengdian in advance.
Now that the script has been produced, it is natural to do it sooner rather than later.
If you want to get all this done within a month, it will leave a lot of pressure on those "young people".
The filming of "China" happened to be going on in Hengdian, so all the artists from the film and television department of Haohuan Media were here to help.
This is also a very rare opportunity for everyone to be together!
In the huge conference room, when Wang Hao took out the script and expressed his thoughts, the group of people below were stunned.
After a full minute, Wang Gang, who was "recording a good life" with a small video camera in his hand, was the first to react.
"Brother Hao? You just said that you want to give us a script? Let us film it ourselves? And then release it during the Lunar New Year?"
"Yes."
Wang Hao handed him the script in his hand and said with certainty: "This is a youth comedy film different from other types."
"My estimated investment is between 20 million and 30 million, and I am only responsible for providing the money and the script. As for the actors, crew construction, stage management, extras, etc., you can figure it out yourself."
"I have only one request. This movie should be released on December 1st. I will find theaters for you. How many theaters it can win will be determined by the quality of the film."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence again.
No one expected that happiness would come so quickly!
Wang Hao's scripts have been market-proven. Whether they are movies, documentaries or advertisements, most of them have been registered in the China Entertainment Archives.
Based on this, there is no doubt about the quality of the script in front of you.
As for the most critical investment part in the film, it has been increased to 20 million to 30 million!
What is this concept?
You know, the total investment in "The Disciple" was only around RMB 60 million, and the box office of this film has now exceeded RMB 4 billion!
A return rate of more than sixty times!
This number has shocked the jaws of many people in the Chinese film industry.
Although there is support from the China Propaganda Department, the quality of the film itself is also a key factor. Coupled with the particularity of the subject matter, it directly creates the legend of "The Disciple".
And Wang Hao now said it was more than 20 million. While this number made everyone excited, they could not help but feel a little nervous.
From the formation of the crew to the completion of filming, and the post-production process, it only takes one month.
Can they make it in time for the Lunar New Year holiday?
…
Looking at the script in front of him marked "Charlotte Troubles", Wang Gang thought for a while and silently opened it.
Seeing this, Yuan Han, Li Ning, Zhou Xingyu, Xu Yeli and others hurriedly gathered around and carefully looked at every word and sentence marked on it.
Although the year of this parallel world is longer than that of Blue Star, reaching 2027, the development of the film and television industry seems a bit abnormal.
To sum up, the good ones are extremely good, and the bad ones are simply worse than bullshit!
And most of the high-quality films are almost covered by the four major media companies.
Especially for important programs such as the Lunar New Year program, National Day program, May Day program, etc., almost all four major super first-line media companies are competing with each other.
As for other media companies, even those top front-line media companies, they just follow behind and drink some water.
As for the appearance of "The Disciples", it can be said to be a unique example!
Before this special "anti-drug film" appeared, almost everyone believed that this year's National Day release would definitely be the carnival moment for "Fortress".
But...
Xu Yaoxing is really a bad guy!
It was a good movie, but relying on his status as the prince, he actually tampered with the script and went against the director's shooting techniques, so that it ended up being a bad movie.
Of course, this situation is extremely rare.
After all, in this parallel world, the system of the film and television industry is slightly different from that of Blue Star.
Among the entire crew, apart from the investor, who is the real father of Party A, the next highest-ranking person is the screenwriter.
The status of the director and actors is actually weaker than that of the screenwriter in the entire crew.
Rather than saying that the investor invested in the film, it was better to say that the investor invested in the script, and the director, actors, props, set management, etc., all revolved around the script.
The most intuitive example may be "Huaxia".
This documentary relies entirely on the quality of the script. Most of the actors' understanding of the characters and the image they want to show at the moment are written in detail in the script.
Only a small number of top actors can add their own understanding to the film.
The standards in the current book "Charlotte's Trouble" are very detailed, even accurate to how each actor should express his or her current emotions...
So much so that after everyone spent half an hour reading the script, they suddenly discovered that this script was entirely used by Wang Hao to gain experience for them.
With such a detailed script, coupled with sufficient funds, let alone people like them with a professional background, I am afraid that even a dog can come up with some tricks.
After realizing this, everyone looked at Wang Hao with deep joy in their eyes.
Obviously, in Wang Hao's eyes, they have passed the rookie stage and have truly entered the growth stage where they can flourish.
"Brother Hao, we promise to complete the mission!"
The next second, a group of people headed by Wang Gang stood up suddenly, their eyes full of determination!
"good!"
Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Of course, I don't mean to ignore you completely. If you have any difficulties, just call me and I will find a way to solve it for you."
"You can transfer people in the company at will. I will say hello to Zhou Xiaoyu when the time comes."
While talking, Wang Hao took out his mobile phone and sent him several phone numbers.
"You can try to contact these people. If you can invite them, they may bring you a big surprise."
"good!"
Wang Gang nodded hurriedly and hurriedly saved a series of phone numbers in his address book.
Since Wang Hao said so, these people must fit certain roles in the script. If that doesn't work, go and visit them in person!
…
…
At the same time, just as Wang Hao was planning to compete for the Lunar New Year slot, Light and Shadow Media on the other side started to stir up trouble again!
The huge conference room was not only full of people, but there were also many interns standing in the corners holding paper and pens.
The person who presided over the meeting was Li Bodong, the person in charge of film and television dramas of Guangying Media and the company's vice president.
Participants include top-tier director Zhang Yibai, top-tier actor Gao Xiu, Prince of Light and Shadow Xu Yaoxing, one of the Four Little Actresses Zhou Yutong, PR and Publicity Department Manager Fu Yongxin, top-tier science fiction director Cheng Shuangping, and Tmall public service advertisement heroine Xie
Noling...
These are the people who can sit at the table. As for the others, most of them moved to a small bench or just stood aside quietly and silently.
The reason why these people appear here coincides with Wang Hao's, and they are also here to celebrate the New Year.
As one of the four major media companies, Light and Shadow is naturally very proud, so this Lunar New Year film is also released in prime time.
December 1st!
Unlike Wang Hao's temporary behavior, the filming of the light and shadow film is almost over.
The next month will be their promotion time!
At the head of the conference room, Li Bodong held a pen in his hand and tapped the table gently.
His eyes passed over everyone in turn, and finally settled on Zhang Yibai, and asked: "Yi Bai, you are the director of this New Year's film. Let me first tell you about the purpose of this film."
What’s the selling point?”
Selling point?
Hearing this word, Zhang Yibai was startled at first, and then said without hesitation: "Plot! Actors! Both are indispensable!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that this film may be the summary of all my experiences in this life!"
""The Last Night of the Planet", first of all, the name can already pique the audience's interest, and when they enter the cinema, they will inevitably be immersed in the poetic dialogue, fragmented narrative style, and the dream and atmosphere.
The philosophy of life between fantasies..."
Except for Zhang Yibai's voice, everyone else in the entire conference room was silent.
It’s not that they don’t want to speak, it’s that they don’t understand the film at all!
In the film, in addition to Zhang Yibo's extremely "special" narrative method, the 2D realistic scene and 3D dream scene modes proposed by Cheng Shuangping were also added.
After the film was produced, everyone participated in the internal premiere.
At that time, Cheng Shuangping and Zhang Yibai had a high-level talk on the stage, explaining that this film uses a special "Mobius strip-style sleepwalking", which will definitely bring a different experience to the audience.
As for what the "difference" was, the group of people below didn't notice it.
But no one spoke up to refute!
The reason is that the film and television shooting mode of Light and Shadow is slightly different from other crews.
While most film crews are dominated by "screenwriters", Guangying has implemented a dual-core system.
The so-called dual core means that the director and screenwriter are equally important. Both parties are on equal footing and have very high rights in the crew.
What's more, this "The Last Night of the Planet" was written and directed by Zhang Yibai, and the entire crew is obviously his!
Under such circumstances, even if someone has objections, how can they dare to speak out?
…
After talking about the plot, Zhang Yibai changed his tone and shifted the topic to the actors.
He looked at the actor Gao Xiu beside him with a smile and said, "Gao Xiu's acting skills in this film really opened my eyes!"
"I used to think that it would take him a long time to integrate into the ethereal dreamlike interpretation, but I didn't expect that he would understand my idea very quickly."
"I believe that once this film is released, you will be one step closer to becoming a top actor."
"Ha ha!"
Gao Xiu is only 41 years old, has long hair, and is famous in the film and television industry for his expertise in literary and artistic films.
He became the best actor three years ago when he participated in a film directed by Zhang Yibai and received a lot of praise from the industry.
Thanks to the operation of capital, he was lucky enough to win the Golden Rooster Best Actor Award, and he stepped into the ranks of the best actor from a first-line actor.
It's just that since then, he has had no good literary and artistic roles, so he has been hanging around until now.
And now, as Zhang Yibai invites him again, Gao Xiu shows his ambition!
He firmly believes that he will definitely win the Best Actor Award with this film and once again prove his strength to the audience!
…
The meeting lasted a whole afternoon, and the Propaganda Department led by Fu Yongxin recorded the whole afternoon, and finally summarized up to one G of information.
During this period, not only Zhang Yibai, the director of "The Last Night of the Planet" spoke, but also Gao Xiu who played the male lead, Zhou Yutong who played the female lead, Xu Yaoxing who played the male supporting actor, and Xie Nuoling who played the female supporting actor.
Four people stood up one after another to speak.
They each narrated their actual feelings during the filming of this film and explained their understanding of the characters, which were recorded with images and texts by the Publicity and Development Department.
These will play a very important role in the promotion in the next month!
After the meeting, everyone filed out and returned to their respective positions.
However, just when Fu Yongxin returned to the office to carry out publicity and organization work, a message from Zhang Yibai appeared on the screen of his mobile phone.
"I'll be the host tonight, in box No. 999 on the moon in the sky, see you there or not,"
Seeing this, Fu Yongxin was startled, then smiled knowingly, and his work suddenly sped up.
Although this old guy Zhang Yibai looks serious, he is actually an old gangster behind the scenes, and he has an extraordinary amount of "resources" at his disposal.
Tonight, he was suddenly asked to go to a very private club like "Tian Shang Yue", presumably because he had "new resources".
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, Fu Yongxin appeared outside the box on time.
No knocking is allowed in the private rooms here. This is not a strict rule, but because the sound insulation effect is so good, it can only be opened by the person inside, or the waiter can open the door by swiping a card.
After sending a text message to Zhang Yibai, the boxes slowly opened after a while.
But the person who appeared in front of Fu Yongxin was somewhat unexpected!
It is the female supporting role in the film "The Last Night of the Planet" - Xie Nuoling!
As if he had guessed something, Fu Yongxin felt happy. At the invitation of the voice as sweet as glutinous rice, he happily walked into the box.
On the sofa, Zhang Yibai had already stood up and walked towards him enthusiastically.
At this time, Fu Yongxin also clearly noticed that except for Zhang Yibai and Xie Nuoling, there was no one else here.
For a time, he became more certain of his guess.
These two people must have something to ask for!
"Haha, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, we brothers haven't been together for a long time." Zhang Yibai acted very enthusiastically, as if he was a brother-in-law.
"Oh, there are too many things in the company. Fortunately, I have some free time tonight, otherwise I might not be able to keep the appointment."
While speaking, under Zhang Yibai's arrangement, Fu Yongxin naturally sat in the main seat.
Xie Nuoling was also quite sensible. While sitting next to him, he picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled a glass.
"Haha, you have to drink well tonight. If you drink too much, you can still stay here..."
During the conversation, the two of them looked at each other and understood everything.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Yibai stopped hiding and made his request directly: "I hope that in the next publicity, I can include Haohuan Media and that brat Wang Hao!"
Um!?
Fu Yongxin was a little puzzled.
Promote the new film with Hao Huan Media?
What is this for? To attract traffic to the other party?
He was thinking that Zhang Yibai had already revealed his true purpose!
"Isn't "The Disciple" very good? Isn't he highly praised on the Internet? Then I will let that kid get mired in public opinion and force him to come and challenge during the Lunar New Year!"
"I want him to know what a real movie is! What a real script is! What real film and television hegemony is!"
These words made Fu Yongxin's blood boil.
Facing Zhang Yibai, who was ambitious and intended to give Wang Hao a fatal blow, he nodded heavily and laughed: "Hahaha, okay, then let me witness this moment!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Xie Nuoling's eyes rolled around.
From the conversation between the two, she could clearly hear that Light and Shadow Media had placed great expectations on the film "The Last Night of the Planet" and had invested extraordinary amounts in promoting it.
As a "pig" standing at the forefront of the trend, can I take advantage of this west wind to become a first-line actress?
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Xie Nuoling seemed to have made some kind of determination in her heart, and she became closer and closer to Fu Yongxin, as if there was a thread of love between her eyebrows.
When the fall begins, there is no way to climb out of this abyss.
Perhaps she had already made up her mind from the moment she entered the light and shadow!
