Chapter 32, determine the shooting
“Is there only the script for the first three episodes?”
Wang Taika flipped through the script and looked at Assistant Lin.
"Yes, this kind of drama is a mode of filming and broadcasting, and there may be some modifications based on feedback later." Assistant Lin said: "However, if you can confirm, you can write it later."
Wang Taika knocked on the table and said, "There are a few things to be clear. I know that Koreans are the first writers and the second directors. But I really have great expectations for this drama. So, I will dominate this matter. Of course, I will not name it, I know the rules."
Assistant Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Wang Taika planned to be a director and managed in full. Because the Korean entertainment industry is too closed and too xenophobic, it is impossible for foreigners to enter the Korean entertainment industry, whether it is a movie or a TV series.
Even a well-known idol can be at most an irrelevant little character in a Korean drama. If you want to have more performances? Sorry, it is impossible!
Came as a guest is already giving you face!
So let alone the position of director and writer. If a foreigner wants his script to be filmed, the only way is to give up the right to sign and sell the script to a Korean company or individual. In this way, the script can be filmed and become a Korean drama, but it has nothing to do with the original author.
This is the Korean rule. Although the script "The Temptation of Pure Love" written by Wang Taika was a bloody one, it was also seen as being modified into a short drama by a writer. Wang Taika got a part of the money, but the script was completely bought out and had nothing to do with him, let alone signing.
Therefore, the "God of Mountains and Seas" wants to be filmed. The writer needs to be named, and the director needs to be named, and all of them have to be borrowed from others' names.
"Okay, let's post the script like this. You'll find a director or something." Wang Taika asked, "By the way, where is the theme song?"
Assistant Lin said: "It should be no problem, and I have communicated with S.M. After all, Taeyeon xi often sings the songs for some film and television dramas, so there is no problem. The songs were also written, and they were specially created for the script. Please read them."
There was another lyrics and music score in front of Wang Taika. He looked at it again and again, and said, "Yes..."
Assistant Lin asked: "Does the president think there is anything to change?"
Wang Taika put down the music score and spread his hands: "I have specialized in my profession, but I can't understand this thing."
"Hey!" Ji Eun-chan smiled beside him and stretched out his hand: "Terror points... Uh, President Wang, please let me take a look."
Wang Taika glared at Ji Enchan, then handed the lyrics and music scores to Ji Enchan. Ji Enchan looked at it, hummed twice, and said, "I can see a little of the arrangement, but it should be very good. The lyrics are well written, which is quite good. Why don't there be a title for the song?"
Assistant Lin smiled and said, "Yes, this song is called "Summer in the Distant Land", which is the theme song. There are also a few episodes, and I will find Huang Crown and A Fan to sing it at that time."
Wang Taika nodded: "Yes, after all, it is a group of his own company. If you can take care of it, you can take care of it. Then, IUxi, then, you can take this script back and study it first. It seems that it is almost time to start filming. I am really looking forward to it."
Ji Eun-chan took the script and smiled and said, "Well, I will watch it well. I like this role very much, I will act well. Then see you when you read the script!"
"Script Study Meeting?" Wang Taika looked puzzled: "What is this?"
"Uh..." Assistant Lin explained: "Simply put, it is to read the script around. This is a way between a script and a formal performance or performance. Without the assistance of costumes and makeup or lighting, actors do not need to care about the camera movement and scene scheduling. They only need to read the script dialogue aloud by the roles. The narration and narrative scenes are generally responsible for the deputy director, executive director or other staff. In Korea, there will be almost such a study session before the TV series. In addition to the actors and directors, some study sessions will also be present. In addition to the actors and directors, there will also be production teams, screenwriters, art directors and other staff. Everyone reads and listens. If anyone feels uncomfortable with the problem, they will propose it and the director and screenwriter will discuss and modify it with everyone."
Wang Taika nodded: "Is this an original Korean drama?"
Assistant Lin said: "Well, shouldn't it be used first in Europe and the United States?"
"No wonder Korean dramas have such a great influence." Wang Taika nodded: "Speaking of this, I don't seem to have such things in our country. It's true that there are details in many places."
Although Wang Taika doesn’t like Korea very much, some advantages are still desirable. Just like this script study session, it sounds much more reliable. If you shoot a TV series in China and have a study session, I’m afraid that those actors with some cards may not come!
In Korea, you must seize any opportunities. The world is vast and famous, and you can guarantee that you can't starve to death. Sometimes you really don't know how to calculate your advantage.
After confirming the matter of the self-made drama, Wang Taika and Ji Enchan will be separated temporarily. Ji Enchan is going back to study the script, and it can be seen that she really likes this script, so Wang Taika didn't bother.
After they separated from Ji-eun-chan, Wang Taika planned to go and see Na-eun.
Well, I finally got a little conscience. But when Wang Taika arrived at the hospital, Na'en avoided it. Wang Taika couldn't force it. This kind of thing... Alas, it will take some time to talk about it.
Wang Taika finally remembered that there was something else in China, so he booked a plane ticket and returned to China to continue to do the domestic affairs.
There are basically two things in China. On the one hand, it is the company's financing, and on the other hand, the domestic offices are on the right track. Of course, it is mainly financing. Wang Taika has now made XB Entertainment a solid business, but if you want to develop in the future, money is very important.
When Wang Taika went to the United States before, he received an investment. This time he returned to China was mainly due to investment.
Another thing is to meet with old classmates. Old classmate Ma Fei has been giving olive branches to Wang Taika at Lehua Company. Wang Taika did not intend to be a subordinate, but it was still good to cooperate after a while.
Lehua Company also has an agency in South Korea, and Ma Fei plans to hand it over to Wang Taika. This matter was actually agreed a long time ago, but it has not been implemented yet. Wang Taika plans to have a good chat with Ma Fei.
In terms of business territory, Wang Taika has already issued a scale. But in terms of actual benefits, it is still just a castle in the air.
