Self-cultivation of entertainment bigwigs

Chapter 294

In our country, for the position of TV drama director, execution is higher than creativity during the filming process.

In short, it is to shoot according to the script, and shoot whatever the script says, unlike some big-name film directors who like to add and change scenes halfway, especially in the early Xiangjiang film industry.

In addition, many people have such a misunderstanding, thinking that the biggest names in the crew are actors, but it is not.

Except for some top celebrities, the most powerful person in the crew is the producer, who is responsible for all matters, whether it is finding scripts, soliciting sponsorship, finding actors and crew, etc., it is all done by the producer.

The second is the director, and then it is the turn of the big-name actors. Ordinary actors are not qualified to play tricks at all.

On the crew, the producer is the real boss.

The producer of "Very Pure and Ambiguous" is Wang Huan. Although it is only in name, most matters of the crew are negotiated between the agent and the director, but Zhang Yi must carry out Wang Huan's orders.

Zhao Qian attached great importance to his first work, so he communicated more with Zhang Yi and learned more about the current situation of the crew.

At first, Zhang Yi thought that Zhao Qian was worried about his ability to handle affairs, and he was quite unhappy. It was only out of politeness, and Zhao Qian himself was also an investor, that he patiently answered various questions with a smile.

But when he chatted, he was surprised to find that Zhao Qian's knowledge of film and television production was no less than that of a genuine director.

Holy shit, where did this guy come from?
Didn't he write novels? How did he know so much about directors?
All current authors are so cheating, proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts encyclopedias?

Zhang Yi's previous understanding of Zhao Qian only came from Wang Huan's mouth.He was very curious about this highly praised genius author and screenwriter. After meeting the real person, he realized that there really is such a genius in the world.

Not only is he good at screenwriting, but he also has great insights into directing. I can only sigh with emotion.As expected, people are more irritating than others.

Little did he know that it was all because Zhao Qian gritted his teeth and redeemed a copy of the "Director's Knowledge and Skills Series" before leaving, thereby learning a lot of director knowledge, and then took the opportunity to pretend.

It's just that knowledge belongs to knowledge, and there are still many differences from practical operations.

Zhao Qian is confident that with the support of strong theory, he will have the opportunity to direct a TV series or movie in the future. If he takes the path of a director in the future, his achievements will naturally not be any lower.

When I came to Beijing this time, I also wanted to hear what directors with a professional background have to say about this industry, and learn from them.

Of course, Zhao Qian is best at scripts. This time, he brought along the scripts of the remaining episodes by the way, making up [-] episodes.

In fact, TV scripts are not as strict as movie scripts, and sometimes it’s okay not to do a storyboard script, but since Zhao Qian has done it, it’s better than not doing it at all.

Zhang Yi had a wink, and he knew that the opponent was strong enough just by reading the script, but he didn't expect Zhao Qian to be so young. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't say much.His own position is very clear, that is, directing, filming, other investments, and scripts are all in charge of special people, just like a complete assembly line, and it is enough for him to do his own work.

The time and place of the audition have been arranged in advance, and it will start at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning at Beijing Film Studios.

After dinner, he declined Wang Huan's invitation to take him out to see the world of flowers and went back to the guest room to rest and recuperate for tomorrow's audition.

……

the next day.

This was Zhao Qian's first time to participate in an audition.In addition to Zhao Qian, the interviewers were Wang Huan and director Zhang Yi. Lin Zhi was absent because of something else.Zhang Siya and assistant Xiaoyue help maintain order.

Auditions are very common in Beijing Film Studios, not to mention every day, there will always be film and television companies or crews coming to do this kind of audition activities every now and then.

Those who came to participate in the audition were not only students from the Beiying School, but also students from China Drama and China Film and Television, as well as many people from outside the school, commonly known as Beipiao.

Auditions are also very particular. Those who are photographed in the front are undoubtedly connected. People from various companies come here. This unspoken rule can be understood after a little thought.

There were quite a few people who came to audition on site. There were students queuing up early in the morning, and the long queue occupied the entire corridor.Zhao Qian was surprised. A low-cost web drama with an investment of 1500 million can attract so many interviewees?
The interview requirements are clearly written. This is a youth idol drama, so the people who come here are all beauties and handsome guys. There are a lot of Yingying and Yanyan, all dressed up, and it feels like going to a high-end club.

Of course, there are also male characters. In addition to the male lead, there are also many male supporting roles.

After viewing the mirror, the assistant Xiaoyue issued numbers in the order of queuing, and entered the interview in the order in which they were called.

No. 1 is a girl who looks pretty but feels weak. Let me introduce myself briefly. She is going to interview for the role of "Lin Zhiyun". She is the college classmate of the male protagonist in the play and one of the female protagonists.

Zhao Qian watched calmly. The character design was acceptable, but he didn't know how the acting skills were.

Next, a live performance will be conducted through drawing lots. Yes, this interview uses an improvisational audition method, and it is still in a non-scenario environment. It is still quite difficult for students like them.

Sure enough, although the girl tried her best, the result was still unsatisfactory. Maybe she was nervous because she was the first one to come in.

Zhao Qian was expressionless the whole time, Wang Huanrao was interested, and Zhang Yi nodded from time to time.

"Okay, you can go out. If you pass the interview, we will notify you within this week." Zhang Yi ended the brief interview with one sentence, which lasted only three minutes.

The girl left disappointed. She probably knew that this audition chance was not good. Although she didn't know what price she and the people behind her had paid, but it was no good.

Next on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...

The interviewees come in one by one, introduce themselves, draw lots, perform, and go out, and so on.Zhao Qian held a thick interviewer's information in his hand, if he felt OK, he would mark ○, if not, he would mark X.

However, from the beginning to the present, among so many resumes he has looked through, none of them are worthy of his ○.

Wang Huan looked at Zhao Qian and saw that his brows were furrowed, so he quickly asked: "How is it?"

Zhao Qian smiled: "There are many beauties."

"Forehead……"

Wang Huan and the director Zhang Yi looked at each other, and heard the hidden meaning in Zhao Qian's words, which was clearly dissatisfaction with the previous interviewees.

Few of the acting students who can be admitted to the acting departments of universities such as Beijing Film, Chinese Opera and Zhongchuan are ugly.The problem is that it is not good enough to be pretty, the persona is wrong, the feeling is wrong, everything is useless.

If the two of them hadn't seen the character card last night, maybe they really thought that Zhao Qian was too demanding.In fact, one or two are not bad, but Zhao Qian doesn't like them.

Fortunately, there are many interviewers behind me. I hope there will be a few suitable ones, otherwise others will gossip.

In fact, Zhao Qian also wondered if he was asking too much. After all, they were all sophomores and juniors, and they didn't have much filming experience. It was impossible to have rich acting skills like the old actors.But think about it, or put aside the idea of ​​​​lowering standards.

Let's talk after the interview first.
