Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

Chapter 52 The character soul must be complete

If it's not the original novel or a second- or third-rate story, how can Blueberry Media afford it?If you want to turn decay into magic, you must first work on the screenwriting and work hard.However, the investment and production of this web drama is doomed not to be able to hire an excellent screenwriter who can make use of the strengths and avoid weaknesses of these three flawed original works into a good work that takes into account many aspects.It must be at the same level as Meng Xiaodan to be able to barely eat it.However, a screenwriter at the level of Meng Xiaodan would not accept this kind of work at all.

Tao Qingfeng will soon realize that this play full of unknown risks will become the biggest challenge in his acting career so far.

Started off guard.

One week before Tao Qingfeng joined the group, at the request of the producer, he went to meet the director and screenwriter, saying that he was familiar with the meal.

The agreed restaurant was a Sichuan restaurant. Tao Qingfeng pushed open the door of the box, and there were seven or eight people sitting inside.Tao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. The invitation he got said that today he would only meet privately with the director and screenwriter.Tao Qingfeng thought that "privately" meant that he would not bring assistants and others with him, so he did not bring Su Xun and Xu Rongrong with him either.

It wasn't until Tao Qingfeng greeted him politely that there were seven people in this room, including three directors and four screenwriters.Indeed, there was no one else.This meal meeting is actually equivalent to an "introduction meeting" before they start work.

There are so many directors and screenwriters in order to compress the shooting cycle as much as possible.

Of the three directors, one is from mainland China and the other two are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.What they have directed the most before is the kind of anti-Japanese drama that tears devils with their hands.The anti-Japanese drama is not worried about selling because TV stations have broadcast tasks every year.This is also the most difficult subject to be audited and rejected. Many second- and third-rate directors get together to shoot anti-Japanese dramas.

These three directors are also in this column.If there is anything outstanding about them, it is probably that they have rich experience in filming thunder dramas, and they will never delay the three-month cycle.They have a good temper, anyway, it's not their own eyes that are hot; they have a good attitude, anyway, mission dramas always have a TV station to take over.

As for "Gan Xia, Dong Jun, Dan Niang", this online drama itself is an investment in video networks, so there is no need to worry about not having a platform for webcasting.What they said inside and out, they all said that this shooting must be very smooth, they rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to ensure that the task was completed on time.

Among them are two directors who joined temporarily last week, and have not finished the original novel so far...

As for the screenwriters, the four screenwriters who came here are all members of the screenwriting company "Bihai Screenwriting Studio".Three women and one man are all under the "famous costume screenwriter" Xu Shao.

Xu Shao is the named screenwriter of this drama, and his name is used for investment promotion and publicity, but he didn't come at all, but sent four of his subordinate screenwriters over.There are two screenwriters, who are new graduates this year... The other two screenwriters have work experience, one has written an anti-Japanese drama script, and the other has written a costume drama script, and they haven't finished watching it yet Original novel.

Those two college students who just graduated had finished reading the plot of the original novel.But it was only a week before the start of the team, and the first draft of the script had not yet been completed.

As for why Tao Qingfeng was the main actor, it was because the male second and first female actors had been filming in other crews for the past few days... The second male would join the cast in two weeks.The girl can come next week, but she is filming a modern drama, which will last for a month.

The male number two is the [-]th-tier handsome boy of Shengjia Entertainment Company.Tang Jiuhong.The female number one is the young lady of Yuci Entertainment Company, a freshman Sun Wuyou who has just been admitted to Huadian. After studying for a year, she applied for a one-year suspension of studies to avoid conflict with filming. After the last few drama appointments, I will continue to study, so as not to delay the collagen on my face.

Tao Qingfeng chatted with the director and screenwriter for a while, and found out absurdly that he, in this room, is the person who is most familiar with the original novel, thinks the most, and remembers the plot most clearly.

At that moment, Tao Qingfeng really wanted to go back and ask Lisa, how much should she pay for terminating the contract?

But Tao Qingfeng just thought about it, no matter how much money he had, he couldn't afford it now.

After the meal, Tao Qingfeng returned to his residence and took out the three original novels to read again. While reading, he had deeper doubts, not only about the crew, but also about his career as an actor.

The crew of "Queen of Guining" was too standard and high-spirited, which gave Tao Qingfeng many good memories and expectations, and even made him think that it was the normal state of an actor's career - but in fact, it was just a very rare case.Therefore, it can become a key project of the provincial government.

There can be nearly a hundred movies with a box office of over [-] million a year, but the provincial government project movie has not been approved for several years...

The producer of this web drama was too irregular, and the team was too sloppy, which left Tao Qingfeng with a big psychological gap.

Perhaps this is the normal state of an actor's career. Relying on his memories of the white mist of this era, Tao Qingfeng recalled, how did actors quickly accumulate large sums of money?It should be this kind of short-term intensive crazy money making.

The irony is that "Empress Gui Ning" had zero pay, but the grass-roots team gave him 300 million, and he needed this money.At that moment, Tao Qingfeng once again deeply understood how insightful the sage's famous saying "you can't have both" was so insightful.I also instantly understood the four words in Fu Yin's warning: don't be serious.

But can he really not be serious?

If Tao Qingfeng had just woken up from this body and was exposed to such a job, he would definitely not be serious.At that time, he hated being an actor very much, and he had to act for liquidated damages. Probably no matter how bad the effect was, it was not his problem anyway, so he could take the money and leave with peace of mind.

But now Tao Qingfeng, after seeing all the rivers returning to the sea, how can he happily drag his tail in the silt beach with peace of mind?

Since his previous life, Tao Qingfeng never had the extravagant hope of changing others.He can only start with himself... However, anyway, he thought, he should be able to play a role in this, because he is playing the male lead.

Tao Qingfeng went through the original work again. He has a strong memory, and he has thought about the unreasonable things in his heart many times. Now he has basically memorized the original work backwards. Although there are many problems in the original work, it is also an important evidence.

Then, Tao Qingfeng began to think about Yu Shanhai's character, habits, mentality, and what he would do—although the script needs to be changed, those things may not necessarily be done.But Tao Qingfeng still felt that there was a broken soul there, facing him from a distance across the book cover, staring at Tao Qingfeng from between the black and white text.

Through the simple and elegant covers of martial arts novels, Tao Qingfeng vaguely feels that acting a complete character is not only responsible for the web drama itself, but can even make up for the inherent incompleteness of the original work.If you think about it again, even if you encounter a plot that has changed a lot, you can more safely patch in more "reasonableness".

I don't know if that end can finally give birth to a complete soul that belongs to Yu Shanhai?

When Tao Qingfeng was pondering the original novel in the dark, he received a call from Yan Tan.

"I let it out."

Tao Qingfeng was taken aback, what was released?However, in the next second, Yan Tan said "Hey" and said, "Don't you know that I am closed to issue papers? I can't touch my mobile phone for a week, and it was all confiscated."

Tao Qingfeng thought speechlessly, it turned out that Teacher Yan didn't deliberately avoid suspicion and didn't send text messages to himself.Teacher Yan didn't want to alienate him for the time being because of what happened that day... Tao Qingfeng's mood was ups and downs, with mixed joys and sorrows, and finally holding the phone, the joyful mood prevailed, suppressing his embarrassment, and he didn't know how to face it Yan Dan thought carefully.

Tao Qingfeng pretended to be very calm, and told Yan Tan in detail that he was going to join the group to shoot a new movie, and that he was now living in the new apartment that Lisa had found for him.

"Where is the house the company found for you?" Yan Tan asked.

Tao Qingfeng said: "Ninghua Riverview, the greenery here is quite good, and the transportation is also convenient."

Yan Tan raised his voice slightly: "Wait a minute, Ninghua Riverview? Is the apartment type the one-person apartment you mentioned last time?"

Tao Qingfeng said: "Yes, the company's contract is looking for a 50-square-meter house, with a construction area of ​​about [-] square feet, which is enough for me alone."

Yan Tan asked again, "You, the building you live in, is it facing north, facing the swan statue of the artificial lake?"

Tao Qingfeng asked belatedly: "Yes, Teacher Yan, how did you know?"

Yan Tan thought about his words, and said a little dumbfounded: "Guangchuan, the house you rented... belongs to my family."

Tao Qingfeng was startled suddenly, thanks to his clear head at this moment, he said anxiously: "Is Teacher Yan's house here? But, I haven't said which floor I live in? Wait a minute, maybe..."

Yan Tan could only admit embarrassingly: this large one-person apartment, and the two shared apartment buildings next to it, are all rented out by his family.Even the intermediary is affiliated with his second brother's company.

Tao Qingfeng is in a bad mood: How rich is Mr. Yan's family?

Yan Tan said: "If you live here, then don't pay."

Tao Qingfeng reminded him: "Teacher Yan, I don't have to pay the money, the company will pay it for me. You should collect the rent as it is, don't feel bad, there is Xie Donglai's 20.00% in it."

Although it was not calculated in this way, Yan Tan was also amused, and his deep voice was quite magnetic when he laughed.

Yan Tan said: "Then I'll find you for dinner today. I actually have a set in Jiangjing. I haven't been there for a long time, and it's all dusty. I just went to clean it..."

Tao Qingfeng was startled suddenly: "Teacher Yan... is coming?"

"Not welcome?" Yan Tan asked on the other end of the phone.

"Where there is nothing. You just come." Tao Qingfeng accidentally used the title "you", revealing the entanglement and tension in his heart.Fortunately, the current sound from the microphone was rather noisy, and Yan Dan could hear it as a rather vague "you".

Yan Tan originally wanted to clean the room before going to Tao Qingfeng, but unexpectedly he saw Tao Qingfeng from the balcony.Yan Dan's house is just across from Tao Qingfeng's apartment, a 5-minute walk.Tao Qingfeng saw Yan Tan cleaning the window on the opposite balcony from the window, waved to him, and came over to help him clean it together.

"Why do you need your help? What are you doing here so early, your hands..." Yan Dan didn't expect Tao Qingfeng to pick up the rag skillfully and wipe the table for him before drinking tea after entering the door.

"Hands have healed a long time ago." Tao Qingfeng said, "It's a coincidence that you can see Teacher Yan's home from the balcony."

"This is fate," Yan Tan raised his tone.

Tao Qingfeng was a little embarrassed when he heard the word "Fate", so he didn't answer.

Yan Tan turned to ask: "Where do you want to eat at night? I don't come here much, what's delicious?"

Tao Qingfeng was taken aback: "I thought you meant...come to my house to eat, I've already bought good food."

Although Tao Qingfeng struggled before, Yan Dan was his benefactor after all, he said "I came to see you for dinner", Tao Qingfeng had to make some preparations, so he went to buy vegetables.

Yan Dan was happy: "Can you still cook?"

Tao Qingfeng thought that even a young master like Yan Tan could cook, but was surprised that other people could cook.But Tao Qingfeng didn't say it, he just said: "Teacher Yan, move to the humble house to try?"

"I can't ask for it." Yan Tan held up a rag and continued to clean the windows.

Seeing this, Tao Qingfeng originally wanted to ask Yan Tan why he had to clean up these things by himself.With their family's financial resources, wouldn't it be more convenient to find a part-timer to clean?But he suddenly felt that there was no need to ask, and vaguely understood that this was probably one of the reasons why Teacher Yan grew into the current Teacher Yan.

Today, Yan Tan put on glasses again, which made Tao Qingfeng breathe a sigh of relief.He was originally worried that he would not be able to get along with Yan Dan normally and happily as friends like in the past, because that awkward kiss after drunk... catalyzed his idea of ​​having an abnormal relationship with Yan Dan in his dream.

Fortunately, Yan Tan didn't seem to mind at all, and Tao Qingfeng felt that getting along with him was still so natural, relaxed and comfortable.He couldn't help but think to himself, Teacher Yan is an upright and honest gentleman, and he wouldn't take this kind of thing to heart at all.This is the normal human reaction.

Moreover, being with Yan Tan made Tao Qingfeng out of the painful state of being alone all the time for the first time in these days, and he couldn't even sleep well.Tao Qingfeng even hoped that he could stay with Yan Dan for a while longer, and relax the string in his brain that was always tingling.

That's great.Tao Qingfeng thought with relief: Fortunately, he didn't lose his friend Yan Tan.That kiss was the opportunity for Tao Qingfeng to realize his true feelings for Yan Dansheng. Although Tao Qingfeng warned himself rationally, Yan Dan was not Yan Dansheng.But at that time, he really regarded Yan Dan as Yan Dansheng, and his mind went blank, and he accepted the kiss obediently, but it was an unavoidable fact...

Apart from being ashamed, Tao Qingfeng also worried that the pure and beautiful friendship between him and Yan Tan would deteriorate from now on.

Fortunately, it was only Tao Qingfeng's unilateral problem. He thought to himself that Teacher Yan was not affected at all, and he deserved to be a gentleman.It is his good fortune to have such a friend.

Tao Qingfeng really thanked Yan Dan very much, he didn't know that he was not the only one who was aroused by that kiss.
