Zhao Mingyang returned to Han Country, and the variety shows and announcements recorded by the artists here have also been completed.
The remaining work is to record the company's group variety show, which is actually the company's artists bundling each other for marketing. Especially since Wang Chenbo and Xiao Yu are very popular now, Zhao Mingyang actually wants them to stir up scandals with other female artists in the company.
After all, it has been tried and tested to generate traffic by speculating on scandals. Basically, the male and female protagonists of film and television dramas use this method to give fans a space for fantasy. The perfect male and female protagonists have come from film and television dramas to reality.
If both parties keep their single persona, don't collapse, and don't get photographed by the paparazzi and the other half deliberately hypes up the CP, then this kind of hyped CP can always exist.
Anyway, without admitting, denying or explaining, fans are left to imagine that many celebrity CPs are not CPs at all, but they cooperate for the sake of traffic, and they really can't be together.
Why? Because if we are together, we will definitely lose a lot of traffic, and we can no longer continue to hype CP with other people. If we don’t admit that we are not together, it will be logical to wait until we want to hype CP with other artists. Directly tell fans that we have never been together before
Together, we are just good friends.
But now Wang Chenbo and Xiao Yu really can't form CPs with other actresses, they must reduce their brotherhood.
This requires Zhao Mingyang to think about how to polish this variety show.
The advantage of recording here is that no one knows these people, and you can hire shills to enhance the atmosphere and make them feel popular here.
Just because he was on an information mission, Zhao Mingyang chose a remote village in Han Country as the filming location.
The reason why I chose to film in the Cold Country was mainly because I was afraid of being spoiled, because filming here would not attract much attention. Now Wang Chenbo and Xiao Yu are so popular in China. No matter what variety show is filmed in China, they will be filmed by agents and paparazzi.
Keep an eye out for spoilers.
When filming here, many domestic reporters came over, and there were also international students filming on their behalf, but the good thing is that these people didn't know the whereabouts of Zhao Mingyang and the others.
The main reason is that not many fans know this group of people. Most of the news from paparazzi and proxy photographers come from reports from some fan groups, so there is nowhere to hide.
Zhao Mingyang spent 20 million U.S. dollars preparing to shoot this complex, mainly labor costs, transportation costs, and consumables.
I directly bought a piece of land in a small mountain village to build a large courtyard with a Chinese-style wooden house, and then hired a group of workers to work overtime. Then there were the expenses of the medical team, the security team, and the filming crew's food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
The money is calculated on a daily basis. It costs millions of dollars to build a wooden house. The main reason is that the labor is expensive, the building materials are expensive, and they are all made of solid wood, and the yard to be built also needs to include a kitchen, a sheep pen, a chicken pen, etc.
This place may be left for Zhao Mingyang to travel and relax in the future, so I hope the materials used are better.
We had people do it a month ago, and now the people can go over and shoot. It requires a team of 100 people to follow, and the camera team and makeup team will have 30 or 40 people.
Zhao Mingyang personally led the team this time because he knew how to produce better results.
Moreover, Zhao Mingyang required the post-editing and directing team to follow him. He wanted to create a lot of things artificially, which are intensive and explosive points, and everyone's side must be highlighted. Otherwise, with so many artists, some of them will become the background wall.
.
After a group of people landed on the island, Zhao Mingyang started to think about how everyone should walk. They should have characteristics. They should not walk in with a suitcase, but everyone should have a memory point.
First, Meng Xiaoxian came in on a skateboard, wearing a pink plush outfit with bunny ears.
Because everyone's impression of her must be gentle and elegant, it is necessary to break the audience's impression and show the audience that Meng Xiaoxian seems to be different in private and on stage, so that the audience will not stop and not move forward.
Liu Bingbing has always presented herself as a rich young lady. This time Zhao Mingyang asked her to face the camera and show another side. She wore a camouflage uniform, sunglasses and carried a backpack. The backpack was full of outdoor survival equipment. When the time came, she would have
The outdoor survival expert taught Liu Bingbing step-by-step how to do it, and then just gave Liu Bingbing the camera.
As for Gudilinaza, Zhao Mingyang asked her to walk into the camera with a guitar on her back. This time, she was asked to show her musical side. She would be guided by a professional vocal teacher, and post-production editing was added. This time, Gudilinaza was allowed to walk.
Literary route.
She has always been positioned as a beauty from the Western Regions, which is actually not conducive to her opening up more film and television routes. This time, let her take the sad route of literature and art. It is best to give her a memory point besides being a beauty from the Western Regions.
As for the three girls, Zhao Mingyang thinks it is best to arrange them into sports characters. Sunshine Sports is the character least prone to overturning in this grade, so let them be more active. Other characters are prone to overturning, especially the academic character.
The most difficult ones to operate are actually Wang Chenbo and Xiao Yu, they must operate well.
Zhao Mingyang looked at Xiao Yu and said: "Go and change into a white suit, put on your glasses, and hold a book of modern economics in your hand. Don't you know how to trade stocks? Then you will focus on economics."
"Mr. Zhao, I only occasionally trade in stocks, and I don't do it now. Also, isn't this economist's character too big?" Xiao Yu said worriedly.
"This is the persona. This persona is the best, because when reporters ask you, you just say you won't talk about anything economic-related. You are afraid that your popularity will affect the stock market. That's it. Anyway, people will know that you understand but you don't.
Just say it." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Is this okay?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Yes, well-known figures, especially those with high reputation and influence, are not allowed to talk nonsense about the economy. Just like the stock god, he cannot say which company is bad or which one is the best, let alone say some guiding words.
His words have affected the stock market, so he can only say that he is investing."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he thought this character was good, really good, and it would not be easy for him to show off and fail.
He went to change into a white suit and glasses, and walked into the camera holding a book of modern economics prepared by Zhao Mingyang. Zhao Mingyang looked at the camera and said to the post-production team: "When editing similar scenes in the future, be careful not to overdo it.
Edit more close-up shots of the actors, try to capture as many mid-range shots as possible in the opening scene, and also have a different background music for each person. For example, when Xiao Yu walks into the scene, it is best to have a burst of cicadas and birds chirping.
.”
"I understand, Mr. Zhao," the editor said.
"When they arrive later, you want to learn more from them, do you understand? This is a learning opportunity. Their team is mature and experienced. I am telling you that I will ask them later. I will ask more questions."
, please listen more and don’t interrupt, you understand, we are stealing from the teacher in this matter." Zhao Mingyang said.
The camera crew, editing team, and director team all nodded. Zhao Mingyang specially invited Han Guo's team to come over to produce the variety show this time. The team here is great at plot arrangement and post-editing.
Zhao Mingyang is Party A this time, and the money he has paid is enough to satisfy the other party, but Zhao Mingyang has a condition. He has to direct it himself, but he needs the post-production team and the director team to follow him, give him opinions at any time and arrange according to Zhao Mingyang's opinions.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Mingyang actually wants to be taught on-site, such as post-production. After the filming is completed and the finished product is produced, at most you can give some suggestions for modifications. You can’t see how they operate and how to edit. This time Zhao Mingyang asked the editor to bring equipment.
Show him the effect on the spot.
I arranged my own photography team and editing team to blend in with the crowd and act as stylists and makeup artists. I also gained some experience in recording variety shows by myself in the future.
This group of people are all from Daotian Entertainment. They have been with the domestic crew for a long time, but Zhao Mingyang knows that they must be different from here. They need to combine, and Han Zong is very famous, so there must be a routine here.
In the past, these people were asked to pretend to be the assistants of these stars, so as to steal their lessons. The stars participated in the Korean variety show recording and they quietly watched it. This time they wanted to see the whole picture in person. They told Zhao Mingyang that the steps of editing and arrangement could not be seen.
They were all prepared in advance, so Zhao Mingyang paid them to show them this time.
To put it bluntly, some things are easy to understand, and some things are most afraid of being ignored. However, Zhao Mingyang's approach is like a stupid boss who has a lot of money but likes to invest in the film and television industry.
A variety show cost 20 million U.S. dollars, which is considered a very large production in the country of Han. The production costs and actors' costs in the film and television industry of Han Dynasty are not high, including the actors' remuneration, and Zhao Mingyang still spent 20 million U.S. dollars.
Not counting the money given to the invited production team, we directly gave the other party three million US dollars. This generous sum directly invited the big team here to come over.
If the other party sees through what Zhao Mingyang wants to do, it will be troublesome. Even if they are offered ten million dollars, they will not come over. This is stealing from others and they will become their competitors in the future.
Zhao Mingyang originally wanted to poach this team directly, but he didn't because this group of people were tied up by various contracts. It was useless to poach one person. The entire team had to be poached, and the price of poaching was high. The key is that these people are all
It was for a company, so I finally gave up.
Zhao Mingyang asked people from his company to identify the hardware and software equipment used by these people and purchase them directly, as well as the filming techniques, production techniques and choreography steps.
There are more than 100 people in the production team. Zhao Mingyang intentionally installed so many people. He installed cameras everywhere to ensure that there will never be a Shura field. Zhao Mingyang has all the surveillance rights. As long as he controls it with his mobile phone, all surveillance will be turned off. That's fine.
Close one by one.
In this way, the initiative lies with Zhao Mingyang. Zhao Mingyang can choose to be alone with a certain person, or he can pretend that Zhao Mingyang keeps a distance when the group of people are together.
So, Teacher Chen knew this well in the entertainment industry back then.
No one is perfect. If he studies more, he will not be able to repair some daily household appliances??????
Zhao Mingyang was different. He taught himself a lot of maintenance, including learning some programming from Li Yanqing, so that he would not make mistakes on small things.
When the team from Han State arrived by bus, Zhao Mingyang discovered a problem.
That's why Han Zong always releases hits. Zhao Mingyang and the other party made a request, which is to showcase the artists of Daotian Entertainment, and then make a point that can highlight the characteristics of each artist, and not let some people become the background.
Now that Zhao Mingyang knew about it, these people came up and gave all the artists a notebook, and Zhao Mingyang also got this notebook.
It turns out that it is everyone's personal file, but it is not theirs, but is similar to a created character. The personality and preferences of this character are described in detail. You only need to put yourself into this character.
Then Wang Chenbo was given a thick notebook. Wang Chenbo was the most outgoing and active among the group. He became the MC. Wang Chenbo's notebook was different from others. His notebook contained detailed information about every game session.
Content, such as talking about childhood when eating, talking about your favorite food, favorite teacher, the most regretful thing when you were a child, etc.
Zhao Mingyang looked at it and said, "It's professional. The topics discussed are routine, but the audience will be very receptive. It allows the audience to understand some of the artist's private matters from their childhood, and then allows the artists to have room to express themselves. That is, these things are all
It's from childhood, you can talk about it, and there's a special note here, you can put the childhood of the people around you into your childhood and become your childhood.
The meals are arranged and concentrated at night, because the effect is best at night, which will give the audience a guide to watch and listen carefully, because the night represents quietness, and this is all taken into account.
After recording the program for a month, the topics for chatting every night are prepared. Talking about childhood, sharing favorite books, and the punishment for playing card games are all clearly written for you.
There are also outdoor programs, where you have to chop wood and make a fire. There are tasks required every day, but they need to be recorded without stopping. The on-site photographer records what interesting things happened at which time. For the daytime activities, everyone only needs to complete the tasks according to the requirements of the script.
, all dialogues are played randomly.
It is also equipped with three translators, all of whom are Chinese. They can understand what jokes are funny and help record the time. When the time comes, the editing will be cut directly to this time point in the later stage, which will improve work efficiency.
In addition to these, they also have many props. For example, in order to capture the nostalgic feeling of a certain moment, they will put some flesh-colored stockings on the lens, which can make the captured picture appear dark yellow. They also prepared many props in advance, indoors
In terms of setting the scene, they referenced scenes from some domestic film and television dramas from the 1990s. It is said that this makes it easier for the audience to feel instantly familiar.
There is also background music. For this aspect, they will provide some music playlists in advance. They search the domestic Internet for the most played and downloaded songs in the past ten years, rather than the data of the last one or two years. Let Zhao Mingyang contact them first.
Copyright ensures that the broadcast will not be unable to be broadcast because of this defendant.
Even if some photos appearing in some scenes do not have copyright, you must apply for the right to use them.
Zhao Mingyang thinks this is because there are too many variety shows here and the team knows how to avoid pitfalls in advance.
At this moment, Zhao Mingyang also completely understood why the domestic variety shows that he watched in his previous life and bought the copyright of Korean variety shows were so good in the first season, but then became more and more awkward.
The reason is probably that the original team came to guide the filming of the first season, but the key point is that the team here is very fixed, and the team of domestic variety shows may be one group of people today and another group of people tomorrow, and then there will be problems with coordination.
.
There is also creativity. An idea is not produced by one or two people. It requires everyone to participate and divide the work. You don’t have to come up with it, the other party can make it. You have to present what can be done.
At this moment, Zhao Mingyang basically understood how to do it. It was necessary to ensure that the team members were fixed and not separated as much as possible. How to ensure this? The company here gave a template. Sign a long-term contract and guarantee the working hours, just like commuting to and from get off work.
The same, and they must be paid according to the iron rice bowl treatment, so that all team members are bound to the contract as much as possible, and the penalty for liquidated damages must be increased.
Everything was ready, Zhao Mingyang and everyone came to a courtyard with an area of 100 square meters, with two floors of wooden buildings, eight rooms, and sheep pens, chicken pens, etc. in the yard. This was Zhao Mingyang's idea.
He also requested that the most traditional tools be used, such as large iron pots on earthen stoves that require a fire, and that the kitchen should have the atmosphere of the 1960s and 1970s, with a firewood pile and artists cutting firewood for cooking.
Everyone has to cook a dish every day, go to the chicken pen to get their own eggs, and interact with the people in the village.
There are two shower rooms for boys and girls, two bathrooms, and the bedrooms are divided into quadruple and double rooms, but there are no single rooms.
Except for the ** room, which does not have a camera, all the others have cameras and a group of photographers. One photographer shoots with one person, and one artist works with a makeup artist.
To be precise, he is a beautician who ensures the maintenance of the artist's face. After all, the most important thing for an artist is his face.
The rest of the staff work shifts in rented houses in the countryside, one shift during the day and one shift at night.
Everything is ready. As a newcomer, Wang Qi is very active and proactive in helping other artists.
Zhao Mingyang stood watching from a distance, and he also noticed that several pairs of eyes were staring at him from time to time.
In order to prevent the group of people from concentrating their attention, Zhao Mingyang moved back and forth, pretending to chat with others about work.
"Brother Mingyang, come over for dinner. It's our first meal tonight. After eating, we will officially start work tomorrow." Wang Chenbo shouted at the top of his voice.
Zhao Mingyang wants to strangle Wang Chenbo to death at this moment. You are eating with the artists, and I am eating with the staff. How great is this? You call me a hammer.
"I'm not going. You can eat while I talk to the director about this matter." Zhao Mingyang replied.
"Mr. Zhao! If you don't come over to eat, we don't dare to use our chopsticks. You are our boss." One of the girls in the three-girl team shouted.
Zhao Mingyang wanted to pinch his neck again. If you don't know how to flatter him, don't pat him randomly.
It's okay now, if I don't go again, I don't want to show face to others. It seems that I have something wrong in my heart.
Zhao Mingyang walked over and sat at the main seat of the long table. The photographers had also eaten. After all, there was no need to record at this time.
The hired team of chefs prepared a sumptuous dinner. Zhao Mingyang was willing to spend money on this. The chefs were all Chinese chefs from China, and the ingredients were all chicken, duck, and fish. You couldn't tell the difference, otherwise the staff would be unhappy.
It was comfortable, the guests ate so well, they ate so poorly, and the work meals were all very good.
"You're welcome. Let's all eat. Are you hungry? Do you have anyone to drink?" Zhao Mingyang said.
"You can have a drink. I brought two bottles of Maotai. Two bottles is not much for so many people. Little sisters are not allowed to drink." Wang Chenbo took out two bottles of Maotai and opened them.
There are indeed not many people, and each person can only drink three ounces of wine, but Zhao Mingyang doesn't want to drink at this time, because some people can't drink enough. After drinking a little wine, they will talk too much. If they talk too much, they will ask a very fatal question. Zhao Mingyang
Do you have a girlfriend?
How to answer this kind of question? If you say no, uu read books and someone will say, I will introduce it to you, what kind do you like?
There are not only artists at this table, but also two gold medal managers from Daotian Entertainment. One is Ma Chunzhen, and the other is named Liu Xiuzhu.
Zhao Mingyang was afraid that some of these two people would talk nonsense, and he was even more afraid that Wang Chenbo and the three girls would talk nonsense.
Zhao Mingyang currently has the leading actress Liu Bingbing on the left, Meng Xiaoxian on the right, Dili Naza next to Liu Bingbing, Wang Qi next to Meng Xiaoxian, followed by three girls, and then two managers. Wang Chenbo and Xiao Yu are sitting farthest from the female artists.
place.
This is Ma Chun's cleverness. He didn't turn on the camera at this time, and tried not to let Wang Chenbo and Xiao Yu have too much contact with other women, because no one was allowed to take secret photos.
It's fine under the camera. Wang Chenbo and Xiao Yu are most taboo about scandals now.
But this was so painful for Zhao Mingyang. Meng Xiaoxian directly put a chicken drumstick into Zhao Mingyang's bowl and said, "Mr. Zhao, eat chicken drumsticks. Thank you for supporting me."
She was right, it seemed that there was no problem at all, but Wang Qi, who was 250, actually gave Zhao Mingyang a lotus root cake, and also thanked Zhao Mingyang for his support.
Now Zhao Mingyang knew that there would be talkative people who would ask questions that they shouldn't.
This was a bit of a crisis, and Zhao Mingyang quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.
