"Don't worry, this is my approximate estimated time. If there is not enough time by then, it will definitely be postponed. I will not arbitrarily speed up the filming progress of the plot because of time issues. The quality must prevail."
"That's okay, but I'm afraid that if you rush for time and the quality can't keep up, it won't be good."
When several people heard what Chen Mubai said, they felt relieved.
Now that Chen Mubai has spoken out about filming this drama, he must be well prepared. He will not do anything he is not sure about. This was also the case when he was filming "Diaosi Man".
However, the facts proved that his decision was right and his directorial skills were also good. "Diaosi Man" became a hit on the Internet and became one of the symbols of Mubai Entertainment.
"The reason why I am so confident is because this drama revolves around the lives of young people today, so the ratings will definitely not be bad. This can be used for promotion when the time comes."
"As for the actors, apart from me and Tao Yaoyao, it can ensure that this drama will have a certain popularity and popularity. Lin Xue and Duoduo became popular because of "Diaosi Men". If they appear, they will not lose the topic."
"I will find actors and veterans with acting skills for the remaining roles. This can ensure the quality of the drama's acting skills and ensure the filming schedule. They can also do some more publicity for the drama."
It is very easy for the veteran actors to film. Their acting skills are very high and they can basically do it all in one step. Even if it is not one step, if there is anything that needs to be said about the scene, Chen Mubai can tell it. Compared with young actors, one scene may take a whole day to shoot.
, the speed is naturally guaranteed.
"You want to film it yourself?" Lu Fang was surprised when he heard Chen Mubai say that he and Tao Yaoyao were starring.
"Um."
"Can you take care of it? Isn't this a little too tiring?"
Being a director and an actor at the same time will definitely be a bit tiring.
As for their acting skills, the three of them are relatively confident.
Because being a director also requires narration, Chen Mubai paid a lot of money and waited for someone to explain it on the set. They all know these things, and since they can talk about it, the acting should be good.
Most directors know how to act, and the difference between good and bad acting is nothing more than bad.
They still believed Chen Mubai's words.
After hearing Chen Mubai's analysis, everyone still felt that this matter was not so unreliable.
He was very sober and did not do this in a hurry. As he said, he took advantage of his and Tao Yaoyao's fame. In addition, the two were an on-screen couple and it was their first time starring in a film and television drama.
The popularity of this news will not be low, and it will play an important role in publicity.
The rest depends on the quality issue. As long as the quality can pass the test, then there will be no loss.
Chen Mubai is not like "Diaosi Men", where the characters that often appear are all new trainees under the company. This time, no new people can be on this show. Except for the main characters, the rest of the characters are from other companies of Yishui.
The star is to ensure quality to the greatest extent.
If there are too many newcomers, the overall standard will definitely drop. If there are veteran actors, plus a few new actors, and Chen Mubai slowly trains them, he is confident that the standard of the entire drama will not be too low. After all, in his mind
There are performances by actors from previous lives, all ready-made!
"No problem, Chen Yunteng and others will come to help me when the time comes. I'm not that tired."
"I will give the script to Qian Duoduo and them in advance, so that they can figure out the character first and prepare well. When the filming starts, it will be much better."
Generally, actors can only get scripts after confirming to star in a drama. Some actors can only get scripts after joining the crew, and they need to fully understand the role in a short period of time.
Chen Mubai has not started to prepare for this matter yet, he just has this idea, and the preparation process will take some time.
He gave the script to Tao Yaoyao and the others in advance, allowing them more time to familiarize themselves with the script, familiarize themselves with the characters they were going to play, and figure out the characters. This would give them enough time to master and understand the characters, which would improve them.
The understanding will be easier when the time comes to perform.
"Did you tell Qian Duoduo and them?"
"Not yet, but Yaoyao already knows. I met with her this morning and the script has been given to her."
Lu Fang said: "Since you have made your decision, we will support it. Is there anything we need to do?"
"At that time, I will hold a press conference and attract some sponsors. As for investment, I guess we can only do it ourselves."
Chen Mubai said: "All the main roles have been taken care of by us. It is estimated that no other company is willing to invest in filling the roles."
This is foreseeable. First of all, although Chen Mubai is currently famous, this is because of his identity as a singer.
In terms of director and actor, he is not outstanding. Even if he makes a "Dose Man", in the eyes of those companies, he is not qualified to challenge the star drama.
The gap between web dramas and TV dramas is huge and difficult, and many web drama directors have died on this path.
Chen Mubai took away the starring role when he was not optimistic about anything. The roles left outside were supporting roles of number three and number four. Who would be willing to play it?
Those investors who want to fortify people will definitely choose stars who are willing to cultivate. The resources these stars need are at least male (female) No. 2. How can they accept supporting roles with so few roles? Naturally, they will block those who want to bring funds to join the group.
role person.
As for the sponsors, they are still the same. Whether it is a TV series or an online series, as long as there is exposure and advertising, it is just a matter of price.
If Chen Mubai's drama can be shown on TV, then the sponsors will give more money. If it can't be shown on satellite TV, then the sponsors will give it less.
Chen Mubai is currently quite popular in the field of online dramas. No one was optimistic about "Diaosi Men" at the beginning, but the few sponsors have now made a lot of money. They know that Chen Mubai has a new drama and they will definitely continue to pursue it.
"You need to help me contact actors. I have several lists for you. I have suitable roles for these people. There are also a few roles for which I can't find actors. You can help me find someone else.
"
Chen Mubai took out his mobile phone and showed them the names of several celebrities he wanted to invite.
"Okay, I've written it all down and I'll contact you."
Lu Fang has written it all down and will contact him when the time comes to see if he has any schedule.
"I also brought the script. You can take a look at it then."
"Oh, you're all ready!" Li Feng said with a surprised smile.
"That's right, I came here specifically to discuss it with you in advance today." Chen Mubai said with a smile.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, I can't wait to read the script."
"I also want to see!"
During the conversation, everyone had almost eaten. It was originally a small gathering among a few people, so it was good to enjoy the meal.
Chen Mubai specially printed out a few extra copies of the script and put them in the car to give to Qian Duoduo and Lin Xue when the time comes.
After eating, Ji Qin cleaned up the mess and went to wash the dishes, while Chen Mubai and Lu Fang went down to get the script.
Lu Fang lit a cigarette and said, "You have changed a lot in the past six months, are you tired?"
"It's a little bit, but I have to climb up. Dealing with Xingcheng is my goal. It's not enough now!" Chen Mubai sighed.
"It's a good thing to have goals, but if you climb too hard, you have to rest when you should, otherwise you'll be exhausted and it's not worth it."
Lu Fang said: "Sooner or later, you will be able to catch up to Starway Entertainment's size. There is no need to push yourself so hard in the short term. I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle such high-intensity work."
"Brother Lu, I know it well. I have figured it out a long time ago. If I don't want to be bullied, I have to be strong enough on my own. It is useless to rely on external forces. So I rejected invitations from all companies and chose to work alone.
"
Lu Fang was silent. Chen Mubai was right.
Even if he initially chose to join another company, based on what happened to him later by Starway Entertainment, if other companies did not support him, they might make him bow down.
This is a very common thing. In front of capital, individuals are small, and they will not offend Starway Entertainment just for one person. After all, its size is there. Except for the top seven, the remaining mid-level entertainment companies
Among them, it is the one ranked at the top. How can an ordinary company go against Starway Entertainment for Chen Mubai?
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others, and external forces are unreliable.
What happened with Tao Qingchao is enough to illustrate this point. Maybe everyone had a good relationship at the time and helped each other, but once something happens, they may become enemies in an instant. The strength that they could rely on before is gone, and they can only rely on themselves.
"No matter what you do, we will support you, so just feel free to rush forward, we will support you from behind!"
"The worst we can do is return to the way it was before. At least we have struggled and witnessed the scenery along the way."
Lu Fang was still as calm as before. Even when he said such harsh words, he always used Gujing Wubo's tone.
"Thanks."
Chen Mubai expressed his heartfelt thanks. How many people parted ways in the middle because of interests. In the face of interests, brothers cannot be trusted, let alone they are just friends!
"Nice to have you."
Chen Mubai sighed silently, with a happy smile on his face.
He has more confidence in this matter. There is no reason to fail, and it will definitely not fail, he firmly believes!
The two of them retrieved the script and went back upstairs. Lu Fang and the three of them sat together to read the script. It was still early and the script was not particularly long, so they finished it quickly.
"This story is okay, I think there is a market for it." Li Feng was the first to say.
He came from rock music, and the struggle in his heart never stopped, otherwise he would not have opened a recording studio to continue his previous career.
In this plot, he can see the fighting spirit of young people. He has experienced this himself, so he has a deeper understanding of these things.
Li Feng believes that this drama can not only be liked by many young people, but also by some middle-aged people. After all, everyone has struggled all the way.
"As the name of the drama suggests, the struggle is not only in life, but also in all aspects. No matter what you do, you need to struggle in order to get what you want. Is it an inspirational drama?"
"As a woman, I still like to watch this kind of urban life drama, which is full of the flavor of life." Ji Qin also answered.
"I think that when college students just graduate, they will be full of confusion about society. What they experience will be the same as in the script. They will definitely have to suffer a lot to grow up and finally find what they want."
Lu Fang said: "Okay, the roles of the four of you are all young, and they are very suitable for your current age. It should be effortless to play them."
"Young people are also the main group of society in the future. When they see similar scenes, they should have the desire to watch it. Moreover, the age of the audience group is very similar to your fan group. I think the conversion rate will be very good."
Lu Fang originally had quite a lot of confidence in Chen Mubai, but after reading the script, his confidence became even greater.
He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has the ability to distinguish between good and bad works. Although he is not as professional as a film critic, he still knows the basic quality.
If the script is good, the filmed stuff won't be too bad. After all, the story line is all shot according to the script.
Of course, a good director will shoot the plot better, which is a reflection of personal ability.
Chen Mubai has also proved that he is not a bad director, otherwise "Diaosi Men" would not have become popular. At least he has the camera, pictures and storytelling ability.
The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the ability of the actors. Fortunately, the roles they play are not very difficult, and their age and temperament are very suitable. It can be regarded as a relatively matched role.
Now that Chen Mubai is confident, coupled with his analysis just now, the three of them feel that the possibility of success is greater!
TV series are not movies. They don’t pursue depth, they just tell stories. If the stories are told well and people are willing to watch them, then they won’t be bad!
