Chapter 8 The courage is getting fatter and fatter
After Shao Yingxiong made a breakthrough in acting, the crew of "Don't Talk to Strangers" opened a special period of time, that is, during this period, Shao Yingxiong became very sensitive, and he could catch even a little flaw in the play immediately.
Zhang Jiandong witnessed this magical transformation with his own eyes. This is the first time in his directorial career that an actor broke through the limit of acting skills on the crew and entered another level. For a director, this is a very enjoyable feeling, because he has made contributions to Shao Yingxiong's breakthrough.
Of course, in the past few days after Shao Yingxiong's breakthrough, Zhang Jiandong also found that Shao Yingxiong's requirements for the entire crew were higher. He would go to the monitor to see how he acted. As long as he found a little dissatisfied in it, even if the flaw did not come from himself, he would ask for a reshoot.
"Director, Mei Ting's look was wrong. She seemed to be looking at a place other than the panoramic lens. It would look awkward to cut everything with the panoramic lens. After all, the position I stood was very conspicuous in the panoramic lens. Mei Ting obviously was not me." After Shao Yingxiong and Zhang Jiandong said, after Zhang Jiandong nodded, he said to Mei Ting: "I'm sorry, let's do it again."
Mei Ting was putting on makeup on the other side. He said a little bored when he heard this: "Mr. Shao, you have too high requirements? Yesterday, you had to do it again when the director said it was OK. It only took nine times. Wang Xuebing was vomiting. Why? I still want to make me tired and vomited today."
No matter how much she complained, Mei Ting was still a professional actor after all, and she walked to the monitor with anger. When Shao Yingxiong pointed out the shortcomings of the scene, Mei Ting stopped talking. She didn't know whether to vent or apologize, and said, "Come on, do it again."
What Shao Yingxiong is right!
At least in Mei Ting's opinion, if his eyes didn't float, the whole scene would be promoted in a consistent atmosphere. The coherence and unity of that scene would be much stronger. Why not do it if it could be better?
Wang Xuebing looked at Mei Ting with gloating pleasure. When Mei Ting entered the filming venue again, he spoke sarcastic words from the side: "Hey, what amiable Xiao Shao, I forced An Jiahe to become a drama boss."
After filming, Shao Yingxiong felt that some staff members of the crew began to have any objections to him. The workers who would stick to him on weekdays would not lean over, and all kinds of assistants were no longer there to grab snacks from Sun Shengnan. Good popularity seemed to have ruined their character in a few days, making them annoyed.
That's right, you pursue high standards, and you hope that the things you shoot will be of high quality. Who did the other worker, camera assistant, etc., bother to bother? You have done a show more than ten times, and you are satisfied. The recording assistant raised the microphone and his arms were swollen. The makeup assistant put on Mei Ting's face and his makeup assistant almost fell apart!
Can you avoid being hated?
This time, Shao Yingxiong understood why many old artists, behind the respected back, asked the workers to point at their backs and talk, calling them "Tianma". Sometimes, this is something that cannot be achieved at the same time.
Bee, bee, bee.
Shao Yingxiong took advantage of the break and the phone rang when he was sitting on his deck chair. When he took out the phone, he pressed the call button, Wang Zhongjun's voice came over: "Xiao Shao, is the filming going smoothly?"
After being polite, Shao Yingxiong knew that there must be something important behind Wang Zhongjun: "Mr. Wang, I'm going well, is there something wrong with the company?"
"Then I won't talk nonsense. "Sky of History" has brought CCTV back, saying that I don't want to continue on war dramas in the short term."
Shao Yingxiong was stunned and said, "Mr. Wang, I shouldn't say anything, are you..."
"How is it possible? I have given a lot of money." Wang Zhongjun sighed and said, "You are not in the capital, and it is understandable that you are not in the capital. Now the media has been making a big fuss. The words "playing big" you said at the opening ceremony have almost become a common topic of discussion among all media."
"Xiao Shao, we have finished the matter no matter whether it is right or wrong. You should think of a solution quickly. The CCTV market cannot be lost."
Wang Zhongjun's attitude towards Shao Yingxiong has really changed. Otherwise, he would have to say a few words like "Where is the difficulty of pushing Zhang Wan out at that time?"
Shao Yingxiong asked: "Mr. Wang, it is indeed difficult to use CCTV on "Sky of History", but if this drama is controlled and invested, even if Starlight is not listed in major provinces and Taiwan, it will never lose money."
"I know, but the premise is that there must be a reliable director. Now that you go out to film again, you won't come back for a while. What's the use of having a notebook and a budget in the TV drama department? I can't let Gao Qunshu, a police and gangster film director, shoot war dramas for me, right?" Wang Zhongjun said earnestly: "The things here are not about the directors. Our company does not have war dramas and good directors who can hire externally. The directors who are good at this type and subject matter are all ready-made. What's important is CCTV platform, Xiao Shao, we have to grab this platform back no matter what we say."
Shao Yingxiong pondered for a long time before saying, "Then how much time do you plan to give me to grab this platform?"
"Half a year, at most, Xiao Shao, if the time goes on, the relationship we just formed will be broken."
Shao Yingxiong held the phone and said, "I understand." After thinking for a long time, he said, "Mr. Wang, how much are you planning to cast for "Sky of History"?"
"Didn't we talk about this? As long as you come back to act, I will prepare you a 30 million investment. At that time, will you direct and act by yourself, or will you feel tired and find someone to be a producer by yourself."
Shao Yingxiong smiled: "Mr. Wang, you are the borrowed animals to work hard! I am still filming the movie, and I have to act in "Sky of History" when I go back, and I have to think about grabbing the CCTV platform for you. Mr. Wang, aren't you afraid of accidentally exhausting me?"
"Hey, Shao Yingxiong, what do you mean? Just say something."
"Mr. Wang, I don't want to act in "Sky of History". I recommend an actor to you. This person is named Li Youbin. You ask him to play Jiang Daya. I won't say much about anything else. If you invest 20 million in this drama, you can definitely make at least 20 million in profits. If you invest 30 million, when the filming is finished, maybe there will be war dramas everywhere on the TV screen. Just those who grab the market can divide the profits into thinner." Shao Yingxiong took a breath and said, "Where am I, go back and prepare another drama, my own studio investment, and I will direct myself. At that time, I will grab the CCTV market for you, and the company and the studio will use Huayi brand together. Do you think this is OK?"
Wang Zhongjun said: "Shao Yingxiong, you have a dog's temper again, right? If you give you a good face, you will split up with me!"
"Mr. Wang, you have been wronged to death. Am I feeling unsure? I plan to shoot a film related to youth during the reform and opening up period. It is neither an idol drama like Baodao or a TV series with a particularly strong commercial nature. It is really unsure how many viewers there will be filmed. After all, that era is a bit far from now, and this generation of young people may not be able to accept it."
There are two points in the TV series market that all investors must seize. First, most of the people who have remote controls at home are women. If women don’t like to watch this movie, it may fail. Who makes men love their wives? Second, that is the child. If a teenage child falls in love with a TV series, even the women at home will not work well. Children have a very good way to grab a remote control. If you don’t let him watch it, he will make a good family turmoil.
With these two points, Wang Zhongjun's expectation for the film that Shao Yingxiong said was reduced: "What period was it from?"
"You should know, the third generation."
Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun immediately stopped asking: "Okay, I'll give you a year anyway. Within a year, you have to grab the CCTV platform back."
"Mr. Wang, do you know CCTV's prime time plan in 2002?"
"I know, there is Benshan Media's "Liu Laogen" and "The World Granary"..." Wang Zhongjun reacted: "Xiao Shao, what do you mean?"
Shao Yingxiong smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, do you think Yu Shengli can buy even if it is a TV series I made with my own hands?" Wang Zhongjun knew what Wang Zhongjun said without answering, so he simply continued, "So, at this time, I can't stick it with a name of 'being big-name'. The only way is to fight with a set of stars and beat them hard. After that, he said something nice with his mouth full of New Year greetings."
"Winning CCTV? You guys are getting more and more courageous." Wang Zhongjun's words are definitely praising: "Xiao Shao, do you want to use the films from your third-year period to Xiangnantai? Xiangnantai can't, it's because they are all idol leaders there..."
"Mr. Wang, whether it's going to Xiangnan TV or the eighth sets, we have to win one time, but I prefer eighth sets. After all, CCTV is the place to broadcast the main drama."
"Baoshi? Can they accept the relationship between them and Yishi??"
"I am the advertising bidder, let alone who wants to climb so fast just by watching Yu Shengli? Someone must be the next Yu Shengli in the eight sets. As long as we can know who this person is, there will be a chance. What do you think?" Shao Yingxiong laughed twice with a boast: "Mr. Wang, please look for someone to keep an eye on the progress and launch time of "The World Granary". Let's fight it, and we must sink!"
Wang Zhongjun finally found the opportunity to gain the upper hand and teased: "I thought you were fighting with "Liu Laogen". Young people can't kill challenging things?"
"Okay!" Shao Yingxiong was not vague at all: "Then you invest in me, I don't want more, 15 million is enough."
"Small poverty!"
Wang Zhongjun laughed and scolded: "You are busy with your studio. Let me tell you that if the first project of the TV series is established, we will be settled by then."
Chapter completed!
