"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for breaking through 500,000 physical album sales and completing the mission: I will define the music world!"
"Get reward, silver treasure chest*3."
In a certain hotel, the script reading for the crew of "The Beginning" is in progress.
In Qi Ji's mind, the voice of the system rang.
It has been several days since I came to the set.
He didn't pay much attention to record sales.
Unexpectedly, it actually achieved sales of 500,000!
He quickly opened the system panel.
Name: Qi Ji.
Music:85.
Performances:71.
Director:62.
Others: Not yet unlocked.
Cultural communication degree: 12324323.
Items: Silver treasure chest*5, work customization opportunity*2, novel "No Survival"*1.
Task 1: Since the host has successfully entered the crew, please use your efforts and play your part well! Win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Newcomer! Task reward: the novel "Eight Million Ways to Die".
Task 2: Be famous in the piano world! Since the host has released several piano music and received a lot of attention, the host is asked to delve deeper into the field of piano and deliver more excellent piano music. Mission reward: script "Pumping Heart"."
"Task three: Novice director! The host in the previous life was a first-class producer in the music industry. It's time to step out of his comfort zone and challenge more unknowns. Ask the host to make a theatrical movie that can be released in theaters. Mission reward: God
A level 1 acting skills book."
Because the previous task was completed, the task is updated at this moment.
When Qi Ji saw Task 2, he fell silent.
I feel a little stupid!
The system doesn’t seem to say that you can only receive one mission at a time, right?
I played "Canon" at a school exchange meeting before, does it meet the second task?
If I had picked it up before, wouldn’t it have been completed?
What a miscalculation!
So Qi Ji quickly asked: "System, can I do these three tasks at the same time?"
System: "Okay."
grass!
Sure enough! I have lost money before!
Therefore, Qi Ji made a prompt decision and accepted all three tasks.
"Qi Ji, don't be distracted, kid!" Qian Sansui knocked on the table and said with a smile.
The script reading has been going on for five days.
Today is the last day.
A script reading is when all the actors sit together and go over the script as a whole.
Because of the massive intrusion of capital into the entertainment industry.
Therefore, many of the crew actually stopped working on this project.
In fact, many film crews write scripts one day and shoot them the next day.
Because the script needs to be adjusted at all times according to the starring role.
There are also cases where the director himself is a geek.
As the play was being filmed, many strange ideas popped up in my mind, and I had to change the script at any time.
But this kind of thing usually happens to film directors.
Director Qian Sansui is quite traditional.
He has very high requirements for scripts.
At the same time, the requirements for the actors themselves are also very high.
So he needed such an occasion to conduct preliminary training on the actors.
The whole drama, except for the two new actors Qi Ji and Feng Muyu.
The other important supporting characters are basically veteran actors who often collaborate with Qian Sansui.
Not very famous.
But the acting skills are all online.
Especially the actress who plays Guo Aunt, her name is Zhang Hongrui. She is over 40 this year. She has been playing supporting roles in TV series all year round and can handle various roles with ease.
She also won two Golden Dragon Awards for Best Supporting Actress.
He can be considered a very capable actor.
The actors in "The Beginning" didn't have a big budget.
Qi Ji and Feng Muyu are both new actors.
Although Qi Ji is already quite famous as a singer.
But he hasn't proven himself yet in acting.
In addition, Qi Ji wrote the script himself, so he gets a share of the profits.
Therefore, Qi Ji didn't get much money.
Several veteran actors are quite satisfied with the script of "The Beginning".
After everyone received Qian Sansui's invitation, they immediately agreed.
There were no twists and turns at all.
And when everyone learned that the script was actually written by Qi Ji, all the veteran actors were shocked.
Before everyone joined the group, their impression of Qi Ji was that he was an idol idol who was born in a talent show.
No one could have imagined that Qi Ji could actually write a book of the quality of "The Beginning"!
"Okay, that's it for the script reading. We have a day off tomorrow and then we will officially start filming!" Qian Sansui said.
Everyone became relaxed.
Although not actually filming.
But everyone was into the fun.
For example, Zhang Hongrui, the actress in Guo Auntie, is very into herself.
I was almost crying.
After the reading round, Qian Sansui invited everyone to dinner.
During the dinner, Qi Ji and Feng Muyu sat together.
"Don't tell me, you two look like a perfect match!" Someone looked at Qi Ji and said with a smile.
Feng Muyu pursed her lips, didn't say anything, and just ate the food.
Qi Ji said: "This is my first script, and I am very grateful to all the teachers for participating! Especially Director Qian, I have to learn how to film with you!"
Qian Sansui said: "What's the matter? Do you plan to be a director in the future?"
Qi Ji said: "I have this idea!"
"Hahaha! Knowing that you wrote the script of "The Beginning", I know that your kid's idea is not just as simple as being a screenwriter."
"But, with your looks, it would be a pity for you to work behind the scenes! Work hard on your acting skills and try to become an actor in the future!"
Feng Muyu also laughed and said: "Qi Ji is not a peaceful person! He is obviously very good as a singer! He insists on coming to compete with us for food!"
Qian Sansui: "That's wrong. I have to thank Qi Ji! I have to thank you for the script! I have been filming martial arts for many years, and to be honest, I have never seen this story of yours! It's so well written!"
I was so moved at several places!"
While eating.
But everyone's topic is still inseparable from "The Beginning".
Everyone expressed their opinions on the characters they played.
At this time, teacher Zhang Hongrui praised: "I heard them read to me a poem written by Qi Ji yesterday, that 'a crane flies up to the clouds in the clear sky, bringing poetry to the blue sky', and I suddenly understood
What’s the meaning of your male and female protagonist! You really put your heart into it!”
When Zhang Hongrui said this, the scene immediately exploded.
"What? Teacher Zhang, what did you say?"
"That poem by Qi Ji! When a crane flies over the clouds in the clear sky, it brings poetry to the blue sky!"
This matter was pointed out by Zhang Hongrui.
Everyone present was shocked.
Qian Sansui looked at Qi Ji in surprise and said, "I have seen this poem of yours before. To be honest, I didn't make any connection with it at all! This Easter egg of yours is so well buried!"
Feng Muyu had guessed Qi Ji's little idea before, but now he saw that most of the people here didn't know about it.
In her heart, she was quite proud.
"Qi Ji, you have been smart since you were a child!" Feng Muyu praised.
Qi Ji laughed and said, "That's not true! We grew up wearing crotchless pants together!"
"Fuck you!" Feng Muyu spat.
Suddenly, something happened to Qian Sansui, who laughed and said: "In our drama, the ringtone used during the loop is also the piano song "Reincarnation" written by Qi Ji himself! Qi Ji's musical talent is the most powerful
of!"
In the script, the ringtone set by Auntie Guo for the bomb can be regarded as a moderate introduction.
The "Canon" was used in the previous life drama. Later, in a certain cycle, a female police officer also used this ringtone, which shocked the heroine.
This is a very common ringtone found on old cell phones.
When Qi Ji was discussing the script with Qian Sansui, he originally wanted to use regular ringtones from this world.
But later, after Qi Ji thought about it for a while, he still chose to use this song "Canon".
In this world, Qi Ji named it "Reincarnation".
The male and female protagonists in the story continue to cycle through the short period of time before the bus explodes.
It's quite a bit like reincarnation.
In addition, Qi Ji also wants to take advantage of this TV series to increase cultural awareness.
But as soon as Director Qian said these words, everyone's mood became quite complicated.
This Qi Ji really did most of the work in this drama!
The script was written by Qi Ji.
The male lead is Qi Ji.
Even a small cell phone ringtone in the drama was written by Qi Ji himself!
This Qi Ji is really awesome!
You know, at this moment, he seems to be less than twenty-two years old, right?
What are you still doing at Qi Ji's age?
In school, studying?
In short, it is absolutely impossible to be as mature as Qi Ji!
I have to say, if it was before, before I knew that Qi Ji was just an idol, I had no idea what kind of acting skills Qi Ji had.
After reading the script for the past few days, Qi Ji's status in the hearts of several veteran actors in the play has really been rising!
This is not the case.
Zhang Hongrui spoke: "Everyone here today is not an outsider... I have to apologize to Qi Ji. To be honest, before you, I looked down on these so-called idols in our country. Just last year,
I am filming an urban life drama. The male protagonist is Lu Yitao. This person is very popular on the Internet. When we were on the set, there were often many young girls waiting outside the set.
Hold him and cheer him up."
Zhang Hongrui's face became extremely contemptuous: "But you know what this Lu Yitao is doing on the set when he has nothing to do? He doesn't even read the script when he's in the show. Even his assistant is more familiar with the script than him. I'm not playing him in the show.
Mom, so I had a lot of scenes opposite him. In my impression, there were at least seven or eight scenes, and he couldn't even recite the words on set!"
This incident aroused Qi Ji's curiosity.
After all, Lu Yitao is the mentor of "Born Idol".
"Then how did this matter be resolved in the end? The film had to be filmed, and the crew had to spend an extra day, so that's a lot of money!" Qi Ji asked.
Zhang Hongrui said helplessly: "There is no other way. I can only let him read 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 first, and then dub it later."
Feng Muyu's eyes widened immediately: "Can it still be like this!?"
She was indeed surprised.
She is considered a good child in school.
Therefore, she is familiar with many things that the acting teacher taught her.
For example, when it comes to memorizing lines, Feng Muyu asked herself, isn't this the basic skill of an actor?
Qi Ji was not surprised.
Traffic flows all over the world are the same.
In fact, many times, you can't completely blame them.
Most of the time, they are pushed forward by the capital behind them.
Sometimes, I don't even have a chance to breathe.
Qian Sansui waved his hand. He had actually seen quite a lot of what Zhang Hongrui was talking about: "These things make me angry."
Qi Ji: "Well, director, would you use such an actor?"
Qian Sansui said helplessly: "Although I don't like actors like this very much, sometimes there is no other way. When the management puts people in their place, sometimes they can only tolerate it."
Feng Muyu sighed: "When you reach the position of Director Qian, you can't make all the decisions on filming!"
An actor sitting next to Director Qian immediately laughed: "That's for sure! A drama requires an investment of tens of millions at least, and the employer is of course my father!"
Qian Sansui raised his glass and said: "Fortunately, our crew does not have such bad things. In the next few months, we will film our scenes well!"
The filming of "The Beginning" started very quietly.
Except for a few media outlets, some news about the crew's launch was published in a corner of the website.
Except for Qi Ji's fans, basically no one cares about the launch of this drama.
After all, the most popular person in this drama is Qi Ji.
It is late autumn now.
But the setting of the script is in the summer.
So when everyone is acting, they have to deliberately create a summer feeling.
The service aspect of the play.
Basically there is no need to worry.
After all, the whole show keeps looping.
So everyone's costumes, it seems, are just a pair of pants.
It's just that everyone prepared three identical sets.
This is also the first time Qi Ji has participated in the filming of a real crew.
And he himself really wanted to learn from Qian Sansui's shooting experience.
So he lived very seriously every day.
So much so that Feng Muyu even teased him, "The Beginning" is indeed his son, and he has to care about its birth from head to toe!
time flies.
Qi Ji's filming on the crew of "The Beginning" was proceeding in such an orderly manner.
…
Wang Zhe took a break for a while after the glory of "Born Idol".
Then, he started a new journey.
He has done many variety shows before, most of which were about trainees.
But this time, he and his team set their sights on the director.
He wants to make a variety show about directors!
A variety show where directors compete against each other!
This is a variety show that has never appeared in the industry!
Looking at the increasingly long PPT, Wang Zhe's team was instantly excited!
Wang Zhe took this variety show planning PPT and first visited director Pi Changjun.
After the two chatted for three hours, director Pi Changjun became the first contracted director for this show.
He is still looking for contestants.
Well-known directors in the industry, new directors who have just graduated, well-known actors who want to be directors, Internet celebrities who make short videos.
He screened around and invited many people.
The lineup is getting bigger and bigger.
But I always feel that it’s almost meaningless.
Compared with "Born to Be an Idol", it always seems to be a little bit inferior.
Then one day.
The team showed Wang Zhe a MV.
That's the MV for "Chapter 7 of Night".
"This was taken by Qi Ji himself," the team said.
This sentence immediately ignited the fire in Wang Zhe's heart.
To be honest, the plot of this MV shot by Qi Ji is indeed very good.
I admire Qi Ji's skill very much.
Wang Zhe understood.
Compared with "Born Idol", his new variety show lacks nothing else.
But Qi Ji!
…
In January, the weather was cold and it snowed lightly in Chaoyang City.
The filming of "The Beginning" has reached its final stages.
Wang Zhe met Qi Ji on the set.
"Director Wang, long time no see!" Qi Ji said with a smile, wrapped in a thick down jacket.
During this period, the crew suffered a lot.
The weather is getting colder, but the time in the play is always summer.
So everyone wore very little when they were officially filming.
But as soon as it was over, everyone immediately wrapped themselves in thick clothes.
There is no way, the winter in Chaoyang City is really a bit cold.
"Wow! You kid, you are getting more and more handsome!" Wang Zhe patted Qi Ji on the shoulder, "I wouldn't know if I didn't check, but you've actually started acting!"
"Is it beyond Director Wang's expectation?" Qi Ji sat down, frantically stroking his slightly stiff hands.
"I heard that the cumulative sales of the album "Miracle" have exceeded 1 million!" Wang Zhe asked.
Qi Ji nodded and said, "Well, it's all because of everyone's compliments!"
"This is your strength."
"How was it? Did you learn anything under Director Qian?"
"Don't tell me, Director Qian is indeed Director Qian. He is really good at many things! I have learned a lot in the past two months!"
"Do you want to take control of the camera yourself and take pictures?" Wang Zhe asked with a half-smile.
"Of course I do..." Qi Ji said halfway and looked at Wang Zhe jokingly, "Director Wang, hurry up and talk about your business today!"
Wang Zhe laughed loudly: "I am preparing a variety show!"
"Singing kind of thing?"
"No, it's for directing! A variety show about director competition!" Wang Zhe's eyes were bright!
Qi Ji frowned: "Director competition... Things like film and television dramas are actually very personal. How will they be compared when the time comes? Live audience voting? How do you balance literary and commercial films?"
Wang Zhedao: "Yes, the participating directors will make a film each. Whoever gets the most love from the audience will be promoted... In short, movies are made for the audience!"
Wang Zhe opened the PPT for Qi Ji and focused on explaining the process of the program to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji listened very carefully.
He has a dream of making movies.
Otherwise, during this period, I would not have studied filming with Qian Sansui so seriously.
If you enter into film shooting in the form of a variety show.
In fact, for me, it is much better than starting to make theater movies directly and easily.
After Wang Zhe finished speaking, Qi Ji's heart moved.
"How about it? After the New Year, our program will officially start recording! Come on, just have fun!" Wang Zhe said.
The entire program, the current idea, is divided into three rounds.
Judging from the current lineup, Qi Ji will most likely be eliminated in the first round.
Wang Zhe knows the entire director lineup.
He didn't tell Qi Ji.
But he himself has a strong sense of balance in his heart.
After all, Qi Ji's identity at this moment is just an idol.
At most, plus the identity of an actor.
One of the reasons for inviting Qi Ji was because of Qi Ji's popularity.
The second one is that it can be seen that Qi Ji really likes filming.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have shot my own MV.
If Qi Ji participates in this show, its popularity and attention will not be low.
And Qi Ji himself can also realize his dream.
This is a win-win thing.
This is the truest thought in Wang Zhe's heart.
"Director Wang, I agree." Qi Ji also agreed decisively.
The program "Director Please Take Your Place" is still the top variety show this year created by the two major video platforms with heavy investment!
The show is very popular.
After Qi Ji also confirmed to officially join the show.
All 16 contestants in the entire program are here.
Mid January.
The crew of "The Beginning" has finished filming.
The closing banquet was held at the best restaurant in Chaoyang City.
Qi Ji, Feng Muyu and others poured several bottles of wine into Qian Sansui's mouth.
Qi Ji's first TV series is now complete.
The post-production of "The Beginning" has also begun to proceed intensively.
According to common sense, if Qi Ji is an ordinary actor, in fact, when he gets here, he has basically completed the play.
All I can say is that when the drama is aired in the future, I will just cooperate with the publicity.
But Qi Ji is different.
Qi Ji is the screenwriter of "The Beginning".
Qi Ji has the editing rights for this drama, which was decided before filming started.
Qian Sansui, a great director, usually has very tight control over the editing rights of his films.
After all, a movie has been filmed for so many months, and the amount of material accumulated is very huge.
If it were another person, it is entirely possible that the story would be completely different.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many so-called director’s cut movies.
Moreover, the play "The Beginning" originally had two endings filmed.
Therefore, the screenwriter Qi Ji participated in the editing together, which Qian Sansui recognized very much.
So even though the crew has finished filming.
For example, Feng Muyu has returned to school and is preparing for some final matters at the end of the semester.
As for Qi Ji, he still works at both the school and the company.
After all, he is a senior student. This semester, the college will have no final exams.
Qi Ji stamped himself with an internship stamp at the company and handed it back to school.
It can be regarded as completing my internship task, and I have earned 2 more credits.
in this way.
Qi Ji has learned enough credits for his entire college career.
You can graduate normally next semester.
The only thing missing now is a graduation thesis.
As for the title of his thesis, Qi Ji had already conceived it.
Time flies by so fast, and soon, there are only a few days left before the New Year.
And Qi Ji was invited to the premiere of the movie "Sword Man Shadow".
