The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 6 There should be bgm here
"How does it feel to be a confidante?" Yu Li jokingly asked about her No. [-] Huoshuitou.

The circle of the entertainment circle is so big, many times there are not many secrets to speak of.

The new film of cutting-edge director Luo Jianzhou wanted to launch a new film of Dunhuang Films, and within a few days, it reached the ears of the well-informed agent Yu Li.

She even knows a little more than ordinary people, for example, the source is this little girl in front of her.

Shen Zhenyi remained calm: "Don't feel it, I'm used to it."

She has been used to fighting and jealousy since kindergarten.Those little boys who haven't been completely weaned, and even many little girls, often fight to be her playmates-in a physical sense.

From kindergarten to elementary school, similar chaotic scenes around her are not uncommon.It wasn't until after middle school that this kind of situation didn't happen often—it wasn't that her charm had decreased, but that the envoys who protected the flower and the envoys who opposed the flower were jealous of each other directly, and usually moved to behind-the-scenes operations.

So, what is this turmoil now, at least it has not reached the level of popularity.

"Then let me tell you something more interesting." Seeing that she was not cooperating, Yu Li lowered her voice mysteriously, "Who do you think the heroine of Director Luo's new film will end up with?"

Shen Zhenyi is a little interested, it seems that it should be someone she is familiar with: "I know?"

Yu Li expressed a little subtle appreciation for her sensitivity, and revealed the answer with a smile: "Your classmate and roommate, Yang Qianyi."

Shen Zhenyi raised her eyebrows, and immediately understood.

Yu Li had a half-smile, "Director Luo also took great pains to make you regret it."

Shen Zhenyi glanced at the manager, and lazily said: "You think too much, but the role is just right."

"Cut!" Yu Li was dissatisfied with her perfunctory.

Shen Zhenyi was helpless: "Sister Yu, you seem to be very free. You have time to pay attention to these trivial gossip."

Yu Li smiled: "I really can't help but pay attention, you don't know, many people in the circle are watching you lively."

"Huh?" Shen Zhenyi was astonished, and said with a little surprise: "We shouldn't be so famous, right?"

"But Dunhuang has it." Yu Li shrugged and said with a three-point smile: "In fact, as soon as the preparations for "Peking Holiday" started, the news that Dunhuang was going to release a new film spread. As far as I know, people in the circle Many people even bet on the chances of the new movie being released. Immediately afterwards, it was rumored that they had a feud with Luo Jianzhou, so there are even more people who are interested."

"There are more people looking down on it." Shen Zhenyi curled her lips: "There are a lot of boring people."

Yu Li smiled: "Eat melons, no one thinks it's a big deal, right?"

Shen Zhenyi hehe.

If she is just a melon-eating audience, of course she agrees; but as a member of "Melon", she can only be polite.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Your actor's contract has been negotiated. I respect your opinion and agree to the salary method of 10 yuan basic salary plus step-wise sharing." In the end, she didn't make any mistakes. After all, she didn't expect to get much money from the newcomer's first contract.

Shen Zhenyi nodded.

"In addition, I selected a life assistant for you. When is it convenient for you to meet her, it's best to get acquainted with her before joining the group." Yu Li continued.

"That should be done as soon as possible, because the boot time is estimated to be fast."

"Director Xiao Wang is so efficient?" Yu Li was really surprised.

Shen Zhenyi smiled slightly: "That guy still has two brushes."

……

In fact, the preparation progress of "Peking Holiday" is not to say that it is advancing rapidly, at least it can be regarded as a rapid progress.

During this process, the quality Wang Wei showed is hard to describe as a rookie.

In Dunhuang Films’ largest open-plan office, rows of cork boards are covered with index cards with hand-drawn scenes from the film.A board represents a scene shot of the film, and the way of moving the camera, the length of time, the dialogue, etc. are marked.The standard of each painting is not high, but it is enough to express the visual effect represented by the drawing.

Every inch of Nuo Da's office seems to be filled with such cork boards.The combination of hundreds of sketches is a smooth "visual script".

"This...is your achievement in the past two weeks?" Wang Chuanqi swallowed.

Even comparing his previous three major production projects, the scale and details in front of him are shocking enough.

Wang Wei was calm: "It's not just me, but also the efforts of the entire film crew, including Lao Zhou, the art designer, lighting engineer, painter, and action director. I'm just a director."

After all, Dunhuang Films has a deep foundation. Even if its popularity has plummeted, its appeal in the industry is not comparable to many small companies.Therefore, less than ten days after the "Peking Holiday" project was finalized, the main creative personnel such as sets, lighting, makeup, and costumes were basically in place, and most of them were long-term cooperation teams with Dunhuang.

Then...they were sent around by Wang Wei.

Wang Wei would not be so stupid as to draw strokes by himself, he is only responsible for guiding... well, it can also be said that he is only responsible for talking.

"I can see it." Wang Chuanqi looked at Zhou Lin who was lying beside Ge You, and expressed deep sympathy.

Zhou Lin didn't want to talk, he just wanted to be quiet.

He never thought that he would experience such a high-intensity work in the preliminary preparations.

When Wang Wei said that the film crew should complete most of the creative design before filming started, Zhou Lin was as immovable as a mountain; when he heard the director say that the time should be within half a month, Zhou Lin went crazy.

Do you have any idea how much work is involved in this?Compressing the workload of one or two months to half a month, even if the labor law is not considered, there is still an animal protection law in China, director, can you be an individual?

In the end, the director was really not a human being!
"A great director once said that for a movie, all the shots are shot in the director's head long before the actual shooting. I didn't have a very intuitive feeling before, but now I believe it." Zhou Lin will let go Looking back, he suddenly sighed.

Wang Chuanqi was curious: "How to say?"

"You know, during filming, in order to coordinate the work of a huge crew, the best way to explain the script, explain the director's intentions and job requirements is to 'see', and that's what storyboards do."

"Ah."

"The problem is that general directors will convert text into images when they read the script, but this kind of image is relatively blurred, and it is even difficult to achieve in real shooting, so it is necessary to refer to the opinions of other main creators such as photographers and art directors." Zhou Lin clicked on the storyboard: "Director Xiao Wang is very different."

"The images in his mind are too clear. He has specific plans for framing, composition, character layout, camera angles, and even the relationship between light and shade. Sometimes I really suspect that he has a finished film in his mind, just waiting for a leisurely and unhurried film. Turn it into reality step by step." Zhou Lin joked while marveling.

Wang Chuanqi only had one question after listening, he looked at Wang Wei: "How long have you been conceiving this script?"

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhou Lin smiled wryly: "I also want to ask. Don't you know, old Wang, if the boss only asks his subordinates, and then he goes to the club by himself, the subordinates can still vent their anger by scolding the unscrupulous boss; The sad thing is, the boss is more curvy than you, and he doesn't even have the strength to curse you after forcing you..."

Wang Chuanqi laughed and scolded: "Say this in front of your boss, I think you really deserve the scolding."

Zhou Lin continued Ge Youlie: "I haven't finished yet. Tired is really tired, and cool is really cool."

Everyone who works part-time knows that the most annoying thing is that the boss makes a lot of demands but doesn't even have a direction. Sometimes he can't even make the demands well. You can't wait to kick him away with this kind of boss.

Of course, no matter how hard your boss writes, there is nothing wrong with it, so you are usually kicked away by him if you fail to meet the requirements.

For someone like Wang Wei, the requirements are a little too much, but he has a lot of expectations, and following him can produce real results. For the boss, he can't ask for more.

But the boss is obviously never a kind creature.

"Where is this?" Wang Wei said with an expression of "don't think you don't have to work if you flatter me", "I think it is often difficult to achieve an effective balance when directing and acting on your own. But now the situation is forcing , I can only make this attempt.”

——In the end, because there was no better candidate, the actor still decided on himself.

Sighing, Wang Wei continued: "As a humble rookie, don't expect me to have the ability to defy the sky. So, if there is anything that can be done before shooting, then do it-it is anything !"

"After all, I don't even know how to describe the excellence of the master creators behind the scenes, including you, Lao Zhou, so I can only continue to add burdens to you."

Zhou Lin hurriedly kept silent, he was suddenly a little scared.

After half a month, whenever Wang Wei said that he was excellent, his hairs stood on end like a conditioned reflex.

Wang Wei has already turned to Xu Daoxing: "Old Xu, where is your side?"

Xu Daoxing was also cowardly: "Everything is going well."

"In terms of supporting roles, I conducted the first round of auditions with two assistant casting directors. The candidates who passed each role took a short film related to the plot for you to make your final selection, or arrange a second round of auditions."

Wang Wei nodded: "After the meeting, I'll go over to decide the candidate, what about the location?"

"The scouting commissioner preliminarily delineated a few locations, and plans to take the director and other main creators to scout the scene in two days."

"very good."

"There are also equipment..."

As the first assistant director, Xu Daoxing had a heavy burden. He reported for more than ten minutes by himself.

In the end, Wang Wei sighed: "Excellent, so outstanding. Without you, Lao Xu, I don't know what to do. Is it justified not to add burden to you?"

Xu Daoxing: "..." Inexplicably familiar, and inexplicably afraid.

Wang Wei looked at the third party without hesitation: "Old Wang?"

Wang Chuanqi was excited: "The tentative budget of the film is 800 million yuan, and the initial funds of 600 million yuan have already arrived in the account. The remaining 200 million yuan will be raised soon, and follow-up will be appropriately added depending on the needs of publicity."

This guy finally got the title of an associate producer.After all, within Dunhuang, there really was no better candidate for managing money than him, especially after the incident of a producer running away with money.

Since both male and female leading actors are newcomers, he is sure to keep the actor's remuneration within 100 million yuan. Coupled with the advertising placement sponsorship of the two, the adequacy of the budget is greatly guaranteed.

Wang Wei is very satisfied. Of course, the more money the better at the initial stage. The happiness of being born in Rome is so simple and simple.

"I need to get a detailed budget before I start shooting. I don't want to find out that I have overrun while shooting." Wang Wei urged.

"no problem."

……

At the end of a preparatory meeting, Wang Chuanqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing also breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Seeing this, the three of them were taken aback.

When they met their eyes, they suddenly felt relieved.

They all felt some kind of pressure in front of Wang Wei, which in itself shows something.

This means that Wang Wei's control over the crew is deep enough.

This kind of control does not mean holding the crew firmly in your hands and doing everything by yourself—although this is a common mistake made by many inexperienced novice directors.

After all, making a movie is not something that can be done on your own.If the director has to do everything personally, he will not be able to distinguish between priorities and make the whole filming process messy.

Now Wang Wei is obviously not like this.He tries his best to grasp the general direction, as long as he can delegate things to others, he will let go, and then he also has the energy to deal with those things that must be solved by himself.For example, make sure to give the team the time, motivation, and creative direction they need to successfully complete the pre-production.

Uh, it's just that time is tense, and the incentives are not distracted.

"Hey, what do you mean by the look in your eyes of 'my cub has finally made a success'?"

"Ahem..." Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing were spotted, so they could only laugh and avoid Wang Wei's eyes.

At any rate, Wang Chuanqi, who is regarded as a serious elder, is right: "You don't understand, we were really worried before."

"What are you worried about, Luo Jianzhou's matchup?" Wang Wei snorted.

This kind of gossip has always been the fastest.

"Ha..." Speaking of this, Wang Chuanqi smiled, "I'm really not worried about it. If we can really match up with him, at least it means that our movie can be released smoothly. I'm too happy to be too late."

What you said makes sense, but I am speechless against it.

It's just, how miserable are you that you can lower your requirements so low?
Anyway, Wang Wei didn't even bother to complain.

"I'm talking about another thing." Lao Wang's tone became a little serious: "You have also been in contact with it. You should know that the level of the creative team behind the scenes of the crew is very good, right?"

Wang Wei nodded, agreeing with this.

Although there are not many great talents in it, but in terms of real level, let's put it this way, in China Entertainment, where the film industry was not well developed in the previous life, it was difficult for a non-first-rate director to have this configuration.

Even in this world, a team configuration of this quality is not something a rookie director would dare to think about.Again, this is a gift left by my grandfather.

"These teams recruited by the old man or brought out by himself have not left for the time being, but it does not mean that they will never leave." Wang Chuanqi said with a bitter face, "I also have a showdown. After three years of unbearable looking back, I have now reached a critical point Point - if Dunhuang doesn't improve, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop them from finding another way out, including Lao Zhou and Lao Xu as well."

Zhou Lin and Xu Daoxing shrugged, but did not refute.

No one wants to go down with a wreck, that's obvious.

Wang Chuanqi laughed again: "I wanted to tell you not to take it lightly, but now they are the ones who don't dare to take it lightly."

Zhou and Xu are very close.

The atmosphere was a little serious for a while.

"There should be a deep and dignified bgm here, and then I will impassionedly serve a thick chicken soup like 'you can only succeed but not fail, and let me lead you to rebuild your glory'. In the end, you are as excited as chicken blood, Is it more suitable for the occasion?" Wang Wei asked quietly.

The scene involuntarily appeared in the minds of the other three people.

"Pfft... good middle school two."

"Scalp tingling."

"Oh my god, I get goosebumps just thinking about it."

"So, please get out mellowly!" This is the kind concern from the director.
