rewrite life

Now that he has decided to film "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" by himself, the film and television copyright of the novel cannot be sold to Tianma Film and Television Company.However, Tang Shi was very interested in the filming team under Tianma—to be precise, director Han Wenzheng.So I called Tianma Company to discuss cooperation.

Tianma is just a small company that has only been established for more than two years. In the past two years, it has filmed more than ten TV dramas, and only two costume TV dramas set in the Tang Dynasty directed by Han Wenzheng are quite popular. The rest are either finished or not. People buy it, throw it in the warehouse, and it becomes moldy, or it is broadcast without water splash, and it is directly pasted.After finally getting a second-tier star, his wings hardened a little before he was scooped up by a big brokerage company in the circle.Before leaving, he sued his old club in court with a pleading in order to pay less liquidated damages.

In the end, the trouble caused Tianma Film and Television not only to lose money, but also to lose face in front of the media.With the development of the company like this, the boss behind the scenes and other shareholders naturally have a lot of dissatisfaction with the company's management.After all, no one's money comes from the wind.Businessmen value profits. If the hired management can make money for the company, everyone will be happy.If you can't, then ask yourself to resign and don't waste everyone's time.

Therefore, Zhao Donglin, the current executive president of Tianma Film and Television, was in a hurry, and wanted to win a good project and fight for a turnaround.And this year's hottest star in the entertainment circle is naturally the Sugar Juice Group, and anyone who gets involved with them will be willing to spend.So Zhao Donglin set his mind on "Strategy of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty".I hope to borrow the wind from the combination of sugar and juice.

Zhao Donglin was very frustrated when Tang Shi refused to resell the copyright of the novel.However, when he heard Tang Shi wanted to cooperate, Zhao Donglin immediately cheered up again.Thinking about it in his heart, he felt that although he failed to buy the copyright of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty", once the news of the cooperation between Tianma Film and Television and Tangjue Studio broke out, it would still attract the attention of the media. work is very beneficial.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The cooperation intentions of both parties are very sincere, and the finalization of the details will become easier.Tang Shi, who has always believed in specialization in the art industry, handed over the work of negotiation to his studio. After half a month of negotiation, Tangjue Studio and Tianma Film and Television Company finally finalized their cooperation intention.Emperor Entertainment, who has been paying attention to the trend of the sugar juice combination, noticed the dynamics of the two companies, and immediately called to ask if they could participate in the cooperation.

The domestic and foreign films that he personally participated in or invested in have all been recognized by the box office and word of mouth. Tang Shi's sense of success that his first novel can be successfully adapted for film and television has no way to satisfy Tang Shi.Tang Shi hoped that "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty", which was produced by himself and Lu Hengzhi and adapted into a TV series, would achieve the amazing effect of "Wonderful Journey" or "Lottery Ticket" after it was broadcast.Therefore, the ambitious Tang Shi will not be satisfied with making small troubles.

Since it is based on large investment and large production, in terms of project funding, it is natural that the stronger the better.Although the sugar juice studio has accumulated some capital in the past two years, in order to operate the sugar juice studio in Huaquwu and invest in some stocks that Tang Shi took the forward-looking vision of the times, the remaining liquidity Not too much. In order to maintain the normal operation of the studio, we can't all invest in the shooting of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty".So in the end, we dragged and pulled, and moved out 3000 million funds.The shareholder composition of Tianma Film and Television Company and the current scale also determine that the funds they can provide are limited-at most 800 million will be enough to support them.But Tang Shi's investment budget for this TV series is at least 5000 million.In other words, there is still a gap of more than 1000 million...

So Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi were also a little worried about money.Now someone has offered a cooperation intention. The other party is Emperor Entertainment, which needs capital, capital, and distribution ability. Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi naturally welcome it with their hands raised.

Therefore, the final cooperation method of the three companies is that Sugar Juice Studio will invest 500 million yuan, Emperor Entertainment will contribute 700 million yuan, and Tianma Film and Television will invest 800 million yuan to jointly invest in the filming of the annual costume drama "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty".And held a press conference on Singles' Day, recruiting male and female actors from the whole society, requiring the actors who came to the audition to have a high cultural quality, and a better understanding of the history and culture of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially from the end of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Tang Taizong period , Familiar with the customs and habits of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the actor audition for "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" is divided into two parts, one is a written test and the other is an interview.The written test comes first and the interview comes later...that is to say, no matter how talented the actor who comes to the audition is in acting, if he doesn't know the history and culture of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he may not even be able to pass the first stage of the audition.

After the request at the press conference spread through the media, it obviously had a great impact on society.For the actors in the circle, although some crews will consider the cultural accomplishment of the actors when auditioning, but it is very difficult for the crew of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" to directly write this part as a necessary condition on the audition rules. rare.All the actors who wanted to audition for the crew of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" all returned to the dark days before the college entrance examination, and began to silently collect and recite the historical and cultural knowledge points of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Of course, there are also some actors who think that the approach of Sugar Juice Studio is to chase after the end.An actor, the most commendable place is acting.If everyone really prepares according to the audition methods promulgated by Sugar Juice Studio, it is very likely that the remaining actors will only endorsing the script, and will not be able to act at all.

Regarding such remarks, Tang Shi directly wrote on his blog: "What is acting skills is actually a big proposition. For those in the industry, it is likely to move out a book after another, using professional terms and Detailed analysis to explain this proposition. But for laymen and audiences, as long as the acting is similar and touching, it is a good acting. I have not studied acting this year, and even the roles I have played They are rare. However, in the crew I have experienced, there is no one who can play a role without serious preparation. The same is true of the great Mr. Al Robert, and the same is true of any supporting actor on the cast. …I don’t really understand what you mean by acting skills. But I do know that if an actor who really wants to audition cannot even make the most basic preparations before the audition, how will his acting skills be reflected?”

After Tang Shi's blog was published, many chattering actors disappeared.Although Tang Shi is young, he has not played many roles - because of domestic film and television restrictions, many domestic audiences, including artists, have never seen Tang Shi's fame, which won the Oleick Golden Statue The film titled "Amazing Journey" was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role.But everyone understands the significance of the Olek Awards to every actor.If even Tang Shi, who was nominated for the Best Actor Award in Oleke, said that he did not know what acting was, then for the practitioners in the circle, except for those actors in Oleke who had actually won the Oscar, no one else It seems that he is not qualified to discuss acting skills in front of Tang Shi.

In addition, some actors felt that Tang Shi succeeded too easily when he was young, so that he became self-inflated.They believe that the audition method of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" is beyond reproach for those young actors who are not famous or qualified.But for some veteran actors in the circle, such an audition method is extremely disrespectful.

On this point, after the person in charge of the public relations department of Sugar Juice Studio tactfully put forward his opinion to Tang Shi, Tang Shi immediately changed it with kindness.He copied [-] copies of "Historical Customs of the Tang Dynasty" that were to be sent to all audition personnel in the form of examination papers and handed them to the studio and Tianma Film and Television.Let them hand over to actors who are optimistic about the crew and who are interested in auditioning.And carefully asked about the schedule - Tang Shi decided to gather all the crew members for a three-month "Tang Dynasty life training" before the official start, so as to ensure that the actors can quickly and quickly after the start. into the cast.

In the eyes of all the media and the audience, the sugar juice group that came from the draft seems to particularly like the audition of actors in this draft mode.This is true of the previous "Our Youth", and it is also true of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" today.According to the careful statistics of those who are interested, since the news of the recruitment of actors for the crew of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" spread at the press conference, there has been a trend across the country to familiarize themselves with the history books of the Tang Dynasty.Not to mention the actors in the circle who are interested in auditioning, even the fans of the sugar juice group walked into the bookstore with great interest and bought books about the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty.Even some experts and professors mentioned this phenomenon when they were interviewed, and sincerely lamented that the power of idols is really great.

In Tang Shi's view, this is really a low-cost, but highly effective way of publicity.

After the press conference, Tang Shi himself appointed himself as the first screenwriter for the film and television script adaptation of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty".At the same time, director Han Wenzheng and his dedicated crew were invited to participate in the script adaptation work.In order to make the script better reflect the romance of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Shi also brought the main creative staff of the crew back to Capital University, and invited several old professors from the Department of History of Capital University who are fond of the study of Tang Dynasty history. Sincerely Several old professors were hired as script consultants for the crew of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty", responsible for the detailed textual research on the etiquette and customs of the Tang Dynasty.In addition, several old professors from the Chang'an Museum and several well-known domestic designers of traditional costumes were invited to act as costume prop design consultants for the crew, famous tourism experts were invited to analyze the climate and features of the Tang Dynasty, and... Li Baojiang's novel After being adapted into film and television, there will not be too many historical mistakes.

In order for the TV series to be broadcast smoothly after filming, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi negotiated, and through the matchmaking of Zhou Boyun, the boss of Emperor Entertainment, they even invited a certain CCTV director to be the producer of the TV series.Once such a large-scale investment was reported, all the media went crazy.If you just look at the consultant team hired by the crew of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty", anyone would think that this crew is going to shoot an authentic historical drama. Who would have thought that Tangjue Studio would shoot a TV series adapted from a web novel.

After several promotional activities, "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" once again inherited the special case of Tangjue Studio's filming before it was broadcast, and it is familiar across the country.

For a while, other companies in the circle were also ready to move, or they stopped to wait and see, or they sent representatives to contact the terminal and a certain section of the green website, and select some suitable novels for the big screen for film and television adaptation. Sugar Juice Studio tasted the sweetness of the first bite of crab before (because the shooting time of "Strategy of the Tang Dynasty" is planned to be two years, and the general domestic TV dramas, if they are shorter, can be reviewed and released in half a year to a year after shooting ).

However, the foresighted Sugar Juice Studio has already signed all the novels on the website that are suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas and adapted them into scripts for review.While making these film and television companies happy, they have to sigh again for the foresight of Sugar Juice Studio.And some extreme thinking yelled, thinking that Tangjue Studio was too domineering, eating meat by itself, and not even giving others a sip of soup.

But Tang Shi didn't care about these rumors.The only thing he has to do now, besides burying himself in updating his "Strategy of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty", is to train with Lu Hengzhi on the etiquette and customs of the Tang Dynasty.When I have free time, I go to the Acting Department of the Capital Film Academy to audit, and go all out to prepare for the filming of the first TV series between myself and Lu Hengzhi.
