In the next few days, the preliminary audition for "I Am an Actor" was in full swing.
The registration period for the preliminary test happened to be during the seven-day National Day holiday. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei thought that the thousands of people who came to register for the preliminary test on the first day were impressive enough. However, during the holiday period, it was obvious to the naked eye that the number of people who came to register for the preliminary test was increasing day by day.
Obviously, a large part of the contestants take advantage of the holiday break to try their luck, but there are only a handful of people who can actually pass the preliminary test.
During these days, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to the park every now and then to check on the situation, cooperate with the publicity, and also took the time to accompany Liu Xiaoli to go shopping a few times.
When a family goes out in public, the onlookers inevitably watch and send photos online. The heartwarming scene of a family of three sends another wave of warmth to the audience and fans.
Going to the park to see and go shopping with Liu Xiaoli, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei spent a simple and happy National Day holiday.
After the National Day holiday, the number of people signing up for "I Am an Actor" decreased day by day.
In the eyes of most people, between the illusory dream of stardom and the real life of work, many people choose the latter.
This is also the result of the vast majority of people who do not have the basic ability to be an actor and have a clear understanding of themselves. They predict that they will definitely not be able to pass the first test. It is better to save a lot of travel expenses and watch the excitement on TV at home.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei did not go to the park again after the holiday. They were familiar with and understood the process of registering for the preliminary test, which satisfied their thirst for knowledge. The work of cooperating with the publicity was also completed. In the few days after the holiday, they and Su Chang
After the friends got together once, they stayed at home every day.
"Many web game companies have closed down in the past few years because they couldn't find a way to make profits."
"Um."
Regarding the basic knowledge and understanding of the game industry, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also took the time to watch it every day, and Liu Yifei gradually became a fledgling industry insider from the beginning.
This is also thanks to Xinlang. Without the complete and authentic information provided by Xinlang, they would not have been able to understand the development information of this industry in line with the market so quickly.
"I think Princess Nihuang is a little bit romantic, and she seems to conflict with the character of the First Army Commander."
"First read the novel, and then clarify the story structure of the novel. If you are interested, then consider how to adapt it. If you don't like the character design, just change it."
"Great! I also think that Mei Changsu's plot has no highlights. His character is of high IQ, but I didn't find anything clever about him in the plot."
"I also feel that when it comes to suspense, it doesn't have enough suspense, and when it comes to intrigue, it feels a lot worse than those historical dramas."
Regarding "Nirvana in Fire" recommended by Teacher Kong Sheng, the two of them also took some time to read it every day, although they were still far from finishing it. After all, it was a novel, and it took some time to finish it.
However, they discovered a problem. The characters in this novel had bright spots, but the plot was not bright enough.
During their discussion, they recorded the shortcomings in the novel that they each considered. If they were really interested in "Nirvana in Fire" by then, they would discuss it with Kong Sheng.
In this way, time passed day by day, and it was approaching the final day of the preliminary audition for "I Am an Actor", and it was also the day before Chu Xuan was to accompany Liu Yifei to Star City to practice dancing.
——October 14th.
In the afternoon, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were sitting on the sofa in the small villa.
Liu Xiaoli was watching TV, and they were watching laptops.
The computer was placed on Chu Xuan's lap. Liu Yifei folded her legs together and curled up on the right side of the sofa. She leaned to the left and leaned on Chu Xuan. She leaned on Chu Xuan's shoulder and looked at the computer screen with Chu Xuan.
On the screen is an excel spreadsheet, which contains information on the list of people who passed the preliminary audition for "I Am an Actor".
Chu Xuan adjusted the arrangement of the list through the [Graduation School/Resident School] column, and the entire table was neatly arranged according to this column.
"There are about ten people from Beijing Film Academy, China Theater, and Shanghai Theater." Liu Yifei said with a smile on her face, with an interesting look in her eyes.
"Two-thirds are from professional art colleges." Chu Xuan slid the form and said.
"Hey." Liu Yifei sighed slightly: "Compared to people who come from academies, people who are not from academies are still a bit unfair in the talent show."
"People who are not in the academy are amateurs, and people in the academy are also amateurs. They have the right majors and have the skills to pass the preliminary examination. This has nothing to do with fairness." Chu Xuan shook his head.
Liu Yifei nodded: "Okay, that's the truth."
Liu Xiaoli used the remote control to turn off the TV, and put her hands behind her head to tie her hair with a rubber band: "It's all on the same stage, with the same assessment method. The strong will enter, and the weak will be eliminated. It's as simple as that."
Liu Yifei saw her mother turning off the TV and tying her hair, and asked, "Are you going to eat?"
Liu Xiaoli quickly tied her hair into a bun on the back of her head, stood up and said, "Let's go to your sister Hua's house for dinner."
Chu Xuan closed the laptop and placed it on the coffee table, and he and Liu Yifei got up and got off the sofa.
The family of three went out, turned left and walked towards the villa next door.
At the shareholders' meeting of Weiyu some time ago, Chu Xuan gave Wang Jinhua a rough look at the company's future prospects. At that time, Wang Jinhua also said that he would take some time to talk in detail.
At that time, Chu Xuan was still filming on the set of "Struggle". After filming, he was faced with the busy period of launching the "I Am an Actor" project. During this time, the siblings never had a good opportunity to have a family gathering.
The preliminary audition period for "I Am an Actor" ends tomorrow night. Tomorrow Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will go to Star City and won't come back until November. Wang Jinhua invited their family of three to come to her home for a get-together today.
"Sister, brother-in-law, Zijian." Chu Xuan entered the house, changed his shoes and greeted Sister Hua and her family.
"Brother Xiao Chu, Sister-in-law Qian Qian." Dong Zijian, who is almost 15 years old, greeted.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing at his unique title.
"Hurry and sit down, dinner will be served soon." Dong Zhihua, who was wearing an apron, and Wang Jinhua, who was also wearing an apron, each carried a plate of dishes and walked to the restaurant.
Chu Xuan walked around for a while, glanced in the direction of the living room, was slightly surprised and then said with a smile: "Mr. Han is here too."
Han Sanping sat on the sofa, put the small teacup in his hand on the tea tray, then stood up and walked towards Chu Xuan, smiling lightly: "Come and have a meal."
Chu Xuan nodded. He didn't know about Han Sanping's appearance, but he could guess the reason why Sister Hua asked Han Sanping to come.
At that time, at the Micro Entertainment Shareholders Meeting, he stated that the company’s vision for the future was the industrialization of film and television, and the career that Han Sanping has been pursuing is also the industrialization of film and television.
Sister Hua asked Han Sanping to come, which also means that the theme of this meal has been decided.
"Come on, come on, everyone, sit down, the food is ready." Dong Zhihua came over with the last dish of chicken soup.
Wang Jinhua took out two bottles of Wuliangye and opened the packaging boxes. The reason why she drank white wine was because Han Sanping didn't like other wines and only drank good white wine.
"Sister Li, when is your flight tomorrow?" Wang Jinhua opened the bottle of liquor and asked.
"Tomorrow at noon." Liu Xiaoli replied.
"Then you're not in a hurry to catch the flight. Let's have a little drink today." Wang Jinhua couldn't help but pour wine into six two-liang liquor dispensers.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli didn't refuse either. There was really no need to rush for the flight at noon tomorrow.
The dishes are served and the wine is poured.
"This is the first time for third brother to come to my home, so I give you a warm welcome," Wang Jinhua said.
They didn't eat the food either. Except for Dong Zijian, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, Wang Jinhua, Dong Zhihua, and Han Sanping clinked their wine glasses, and the six of them picked up the small wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
"The wine is good." Han Sanping put down his glass.
"I'll come here often in the future. I still have it at home." Wang Jinhua took a big spoon and scooped out chicken soup.
Han Sanping raised his forehead slightly, holding chopsticks while picking up vegetables, and looked at Chu Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, what are your thoughts on the industrialization of film and television in the Brilliant Era? Let me know."
When Bright Times Film and Television was established last year, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei told their shareholders about the science fiction project.
In order to get his support, Xu deliberately tempted him by saying that he would use science fiction movies to try to industrialize the company's film and television industry.
This incident has always been vivid in his mind, and the top figures in the domestic entertainment industry also know that the industrialization of film and television is Han Sanping's lifelong pursuit.
Therefore, he was very interested in the science fiction plan proposed by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
If someone else had proposed this plan, he would have laughed it off.
But the person who mentioned it was Chu Xuan, so he took it half seriously.
Chu Xuan founded Micro-Entertainment, and Zuckerberg, an American who is the same age as Chu Xuan, founded Facebook.
With such achievements, the world's capital giants will definitely not treat Zuckerberg as a normal young man.
In the same way, people at the top level in China would not treat Chu Xuan as an ordinary 22-year-old young man.
So does he.
Today he took time out of his busy schedule and agreed to Wang Jinhua's invitation to come to a small gathering. It was because Wang Jinhua talked about the development issues of the company's film and television industry proposed by Chu Xuan, and he also wanted to hear Chu Xuan's very thoughtful ideas.
What ideas and thoughts do young people have about film and television?
Hearing Han Sanping's question, Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then started talking about business after taking a bite of the food. This didn't seem to be Han Sanping's style.
Due to the tacit understanding between the siblings, Wang Jinhua saw through Chu Xuan's thoughts, took a sip of soup, put down the bowl, and said: "Third brother will go around in the clouds and mountains in front of outsiders before getting to the point. What should I say in front of my own people?"
."
Han Sanping picked up the vegetables and put them in a bowl, and smiled slightly: "You poured dirty water on me again."
Wang Jinhua said suddenly: "This is your usual chatting style, why do you ask me to throw dirty water on you?"
Since Bright Era began to develop cinemas, Wang Jinhua and Han Sanping have had frequent exchanges. Perhaps because they share the same philosophy of career development, the relationship between the two has become better and better. Wang Jinhua used to call Han Sanping "Mr. Han", but now calls him "Mr. Han"
"Third Brother" can see this.
Although Chu Xuan is also the boss of Brilliant Era, because he is often away from the company due to his acting career, he has not dealt with Han Sanping much, so naturally he is not that familiar with him.
Since Han Sanping went straight to the topic, he said bluntly according to his own ideas: "I think it starts with the screenwriter, then the Taoism, then the industrial foundation, and finally the post-production process including special effects."
Han Sanping chewed the food in his mouth, looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Explain."
Seeing the two sides starting to communicate, everyone fell silent.
Whether it is starting a micro-entertainment, a science fiction project, or a subsequent investment plan, Wang Jinhua has always believed that her younger brother is different and that in some aspects his ideas are more forward-looking than hers.
She also knows a bit about the industrialization of film and television, but she feels that she may not see it as thoroughly as her younger brother.
Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei ate quietly and listened attentively.
As far as Liu Xiaoli is concerned, Chu Xuan, the son-in-law, and her daughter's careers are in harmony, and she, as a mother, naturally wants to hear Chu Xuan's ideas for future development.
As for Liu Yifei, she and Chu Xuan often discuss some things before going to bed. She also knows that Chu Xuan has many thoughts and ideas. This is also their possible future direction, so she also listens.
"Let's talk about the screenwriter first." Chu Xuan paused: "The following remarks only represent my personal thoughts."
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
"Everyone has different ideas. As long as they have not practiced it, no one can say whether it is right or wrong. Just say it." Han Sanping said.
Chu Xuan nodded, mainly because the topic of film and television industrialization is too big. Even if he has ideas, he doesn't have much confidence, and he is the same.
"Sissi and I have experienced the production of "Zhu Xian" and the production of "Hope"." Chu Xuan said: "Sissi and I have also learned about the workflow of script planning."
"The chief screenwriter designs an outline and writes the story structure of the script through the outline, and then the members of the screenwriting team write literary scripts based on the outline and story structure."
"A literary script consists of a scene description of time, place, and characters. The core is a large number of line descriptions. If there are special effects, specific descriptions of the special effects must be carried out. This is the basic composition of a literary script."
"Finally, according to the literary script, the screenwriter also needs to compose each scene and imagine the relationship between the characters and the lens in his mind, so as to write a split-shot script."
Liu Yifei and Han Sanping nodded slightly. Among the crowd, the three of them, including Chu Xuan, were professionals.
"To sum up, screenwriters in the film and television industry are all-rounders, and it is difficult to train such a screenwriter." Chu Xuan concluded.
Han Sanping heard something in Chu Xuan's words and said, "Then what do you think?"
"You can try to break down the process and make it more detailed." Chu Xuan said his thoughts without thinking.
"How to decompose it? How to make it detailed?" Han Sanping asked.
Chu Xuan paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts.
Liu Yifei picked up a chicken leg with chopsticks and put it in his bowl. Everyone was slightly happy when they saw this.
Chu Xuan said: "Screenwriters who are suitable for writing scenes only write scenes, screenwriters who are suitable for writing lines only design lines, screenwriters with rich imagination and good writing skills only write special effects descriptions, screenwriters with multi-faceted imagination and in-depth understanding of camera operations are only responsible for storyboarding scripts
."
"We divided the script design stage into four parts, and divided the screenwriter team into four teams. Each team is only responsible for the corresponding work, and the chief screenwriter team is ultimately responsible for overall planning."
"According to the current work process, a plot draft is submitted by the screenwriter to the screenwriting team for review. If it fails, the draft will be rejected and rewritten. The rejection is the rejection of the entire draft, including literary scripts and sub-shot scripts."
"If we divide the script design into four as I said, if the scene description is not good, only the scene will be rejected, and if the lines are not good, only the lines will be rejected..."
"It is divided into four, and the four teams are responsible for the corresponding parts, which means that the four parts of the script are not related to each other for the time being."
"With the temporary loss of integrity, the content of literary scripts will also be diversified. A plot will no longer be written by one screenwriter but by multiple screenwriters. Then we can better take the essence and eliminate the dross, and
Can be more innovative.”
Chu Xuan expressed his inner thoughts about the screenwriter in one breath, and the scene fell into a brief silence.
What Chu Xuan said was very simple and easy to understand, and everyone present understood it immediately. It was nothing more than dividing a whole thing, so that the work content could be extremely detailed without interfering with each other.
Han Sanping didn't say anything for a while, then he thought about it and said, "Interesting."
He took a bite of food, put down his chopsticks, and said: "But in this way, the task that originally only required four or five screenwriters to be completed by the screenwriting team, according to your idea, the number of people must be expanded at least three times. One more person.
When you get up to work, you will look disorganized.”
"So to train screenwriters, we need to set a standard process for screenwriters' work according to my ideas. This is also the process for screenwriters to achieve industrialization." Chu Xuan shook his head. What Han Sanping said was something he had already considered.
He continued: "Not every screenwriter is omnipotent. Some people have good writing skills, some are good at writing scenes, some have strong line design skills, and some have strong spatial imagination and can write better storyboards.
.”
"We all work differently depending on the person. I will let you write what you are good at. You don't need to worry about the rest. Just specialize in one direction."
"When we set a standard process, and when these screenwriters develop a tacit understanding, I expect that the time spent in the script coordination stage may be greatly reduced."
"The time cost has been reduced, and the release schedule of film and television dramas has been shortened. Film and television dramas can make money faster. Once they make money, they can start the next project immediately. This is the purpose of industrialization of film and television to speed up the production efficiency of film and television dramas."
"If the efficiency is improved, if things continue like this, the investment in screenwriting costs will not be worth mentioning."
Han Sanping nodded: "As long as the purpose of speeding up production efficiency can be achieved, the investment in screenwriters is nothing. But if you want to train screenwriters according to your ideas, you must let the screenwriters honestly use their talents to listen to your arrangements.
, Brilliant Era must provide screenwriters with a stable income, but you must know that the income of most screenwriters in China today is unstable."
"I know." Chu Xuan said: "We can support them with wages so that they have no worries about food and housing in the capital. The bright era can still afford it."
Han Sanping glanced at Wang Jinhua, and said with some interest and excitement: "Jinhua, you can give it a try. I have considered the idea of dividing the script into separate designs before, but I have not considered it as comprehensively as Xiaoxuan. Whether it can be successful is unknown.
But it’s worth an experiment.”
Wang Jinhua thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Don't Xiaoxuan and Qianqian have a science fiction plan? Then we can discuss their plan together."
She looked at Chu Xuan: "If it works, then we will use Xiaoxuan, you and Qianqian's science fiction movie as a pilot. The coordination of the script will be handed over to Liu Yi, and let him lead a group of screenwriters with you to experiment with the industrialization of Xiaoxuan, your screenwriting
idea."
Although she is not a professional, she understands the general process of Chu Xuan's screenwriting industrialization concept. With the current strength of Bright Times, it is not difficult to raise a group of screenwriters.
As before, she had no choice in her heart and fully supported Chu Xuan.
"'Hope' is already very well-known. After you are done with the variety show, let's take some time to discuss it together," Han Sanping said.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded together with Wang Jinhua.
"Continue talking?" Han Sanping took a bite and looked at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan's idea of industrializing screenwriting was not without purpose, it was well-founded and feasible. This not only made him look up to Chu Xuan again, but also made him more interested in Chu Xuan's idea of all-round film and television development.
"Ahem." Chu Xuan coughed dryly and said, "Currently, we don't have enough experience. Fu Hua Dao and other aspects are just a rough idea. We haven't thought of possible practical solutions yet. Let Sissi and I study for a few more years."
After saying this, everyone smiled slightly.
Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan looked at each other. Chu Xuan told the truth. As producers, what she and Chu Xuan experienced the most was the coordination stage of the script. The rest of the service and other matters were arranged by the teachers of the crew. They had no time and no time.
They don't have the energy to participate, so except for the design of the script, they are really stretched thin in other aspects.
"But I have a general framework." Chu Xuan added: "I think that by successfully setting a standard process for script planning and service, Brilliant Era can achieve the initial industrialization of film and television."
"When Bright Era has the production capacity of industrial infrastructure, the industrialization of film and television will advance to a stage of development."
"If the above two points are achieved, and finally when Bright Era can realize post-production and special effects production and have standard processes, then Bright Era will completely succeed in industrializing film and television."
Han Sanping and Wang Jinhua took a sip of wine, put down their glasses and seemed a little more excited: "Your framework idea is very similar to mine. But let me ask you, what is the production capacity with industrial infrastructure in the brilliant era?"
Faced with this problem, Chu Xuan spoke bluntly: "Our country's heavy industry and electronic manufacturing industry are quite weak in this regard. This is a fact."
"For example, the three-axis mechanical crane in Hollywood."
"Automated wire unit installed on the studio roof."
"Ground slide rails that can realize various combinations of direction and speed changes, and slide rail cars with extremely high stability."
"Director monitors and small monitors that can accept camera electrical signals with almost no delay, as well as ultra-clear custom-made full-color LEDs that can accept camera electrical signals."
"Not to mention a 3D camera."
Chu Xuan spread his hands: "We don't have these things, and they won't sell them to us. Based on the industrial base, we can only wait for the country to develop, and then Bright Times will play an important role in it."
"We must have our own heavy industrial machinery production plant, and we must have our own manufacturing electronic equipment production plant. We must have these two industrial infrastructure bases, according to our needs and the needs of film and television drama shooting, design and produce products completely for
Equipment serving the film and television industry.”
"If we can reach this point, we will have the foundation to completely complete the industrialization of film and television and have the greatest say in this industry."
With a "pop", Han Sanping slapped the table with some joy and praised Chu Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, you can think about this and think about it so thoroughly. I am impressed by you!"
He said to Wang Jinhua: "These industrial equipment are the core of film and television industrialization. Xiaoxuan is really good. He can think of this and grasp the key points. Let Bright Times participate in it and take the right to speak in the industry."
Wang Jinhua raised her head slightly. After hearing what Han Sanping said and being so appreciated by Han Sanping, she looked at Chu Xuan with pride and admiration.
The same is true for Liu Xiaoli. She looks exactly like a mother-in-law looking at a good son-in-law.
"Xiaoxuan, come and have a drink." Han Sanping raised his glass.
"Mr. Han, I respect you." Chu Xuan held the cup.
Wang Jinhua said: "What is your name, Mr. Han? It's called Third Brother."
Chu Xuan paused and looked at Han Sanping's smiling face. Chu Xuan glanced at Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "Third brother, Chu Xuan and I respect you."
Han Sanping didn't say much. He clinked his wine glass with the two young men and drank it down in one gulp.
"Xiaoxuan, Qianqian, when you have a comprehensive idea, you can call me to chat at any time." He said.
"Okay." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei agreed.
What I’m talking about today is just Chu Xuan’s initial thoughts. A comprehensive idea requires two people to have enough experience and experience growing up in this area.
The road to film and television industrialization that suits the national conditions is a long and arduous one, and it is destined to be a road that the two of them need to explore with patience and hard work.
Whether it will happen in the future is still unknown.
However, the unknown is the interesting thing.
Maybe after drinking, maybe they shared the same ideas, maybe Han Sanping once again realized Chu Xuan's talent, and this talent was closely related to his pursuit. Han Sanping and Chu Xuan couldn't help but call each other brothers and chatted happily.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that everyone left after enjoying themselves.
Han Sanping still wanted to stay and talk to Wang Jinhua about the cinema. The family of three had to leave for Star City tomorrow. They had just drank some wine and wanted to go to bed early today, so they got up to say goodbye.
"Sister, third brother, let's go first."
"Have a good journey tomorrow. I wish you a big prize at the Golden Eagle Festival. My third brother and I are waiting for your good news."
