The Golden Age of China Entertainment

But now, Yi Qing really can't do it. "I Love My Family" has just started filming. If the actors are changed at this time, there will be many scripts that have been written and the filming plans that have been set. And so suddenly, let Yi Qing find another actor to play the babysitter.

Director Wang Fulin sighed and said: "We also talked about this matter just now. I don't understand the situation on your side, but since you came to the door, don't you plan to release him now?"

After being distracted by Director Wang, Yi Qing said with a sneer, "Director Wang, it's not that I don't intend to let him go, it's really a bit difficult."

Ren Dalai said with a straight face: "Xiao Yi, that's not what you said. Your crew is having difficulties. Don't tell me the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" has no difficulties? You also came out of the actor training class. Everyone has worked hard for this drama. You should be very clear about how much you have paid. The filming was stopped before, and everyone’s hard work will be in vain. Now the higher-ups have finally agreed to resume the filming. You don’t support it, but you want to poach the crew’s corners. You think it’s appropriate. ?"

Certainly not suitable!

"Director, I'm also looking forward to the smooth filming and broadcast of our film, and to meet the audience sooner, but~~~~~ Let's do this, Director Wang, ten days, just ten days, ten days I can finish filming Guo Xiaozhen's scene in one day, do you think it will work?"

"One week!" Director Wang Fulin looked up at Yi Qing, "Xiao Yi, I'm not embarrassing you, I really can't afford to wait here, we plan to leave for the location in Hangzhou in a week, I can only give you a week , when the time comes, Guo Xiaozhen will set off with everyone, you know, the film crew does not have enough funds, if the time comes to book a train ticket for Guo Xiaozhen alone, it will cost more."

"Director Wang, I'll send you there myself!" Yi Qing said, "Ten days later, I'll bring Guo Xiaozhen to Hangzhou for you. If it's a day late and causes any losses to the crew, I'll pay for it!"

When Yi Qing said this, both Wang Fulin and Ren Dahui were stunned. He compensated?Can he afford it?

"Xiaoyi, this is not allowed. Guo Xiaozhen is an actress of "The Red Chamber Crew". As the director, I am responsible for her. You can't send her here, no, no, definitely not. If something happens on the way, I can't tell her parents."

Yi Qing was really helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Director Wang, what could happen? You also know that I often travel far away by train, and you are afraid that it will be unsafe if I follow you!?"

I am afraid of you!

Of course, it’s not easy for Wang Fulin to say this, but he can’t help thinking this way. They are all young children, and when their thoughts are most germinated, even though the crew has repeated orders not to fall in love, not to fall in love, which one? It's safe, those sneaky couples in the crew, really think they've done a good job of keeping secrets?

In fact, Wang Fulin knew all about it, but he felt that it was not easy for everyone, and the relationship between them was confirmed, so he really couldn't bear to beat the mandarin ducks.

Yi Qing can get a girlfriend every time he takes a train. If he escorts Guo Xiaozhen to the south, what will happen to the two of them on the train?

Just as Wang Fulin was about to refuse, Zhou Ling said at this time: "Director Wang, I think Xiao Yi is really in trouble, let's go, I have some things to deal with in the capital, so I will go a few days late, and wait until Xiao Yi After Yi's work on the production team is over, I will take Guo Xiaozhen to Hangzhou with him, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Qing immediately thanked Zhou Ling a thousand times.

Wang Fulin was also taken aback, and then smiled: "You, I really don't know how much this kid has benefited you. You help him like this."

Zhou Ling also laughed, and said: "There is no advantage, but Xiao Yi is indeed at a critical moment now, and I didn't expect him to be the director of production so soon. Now he is in charge of a crew for the first time. Those of us The old seniors can't help but support!"

Wang Fulin thought for a while and said, "Okay, just ten days, Xiao Yi, you promised me that after ten days, you must send someone over!"

Yi Qing hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, after ten days, people will definitely be sent there with their beards and shadows."

Now, Yi Qing is also at ease. Ten days should be enough. Guo Xiaozhen's role as a babysitter is not too much. In the first season, there are only two stories that are her highlights. The two episodes where I was sick, and the episode where I had sex with Xiao Liu, who was deep-fried dough sticks, and it turned out that he had a wife, in these ten days, if we concentrated on filming, it should be easy to handle.

The only difficult thing is the shooting plan. The current shooting plan is to shoot a story every day. If it is short, it will be combined into one episode, and if it is long, it will be divided into two episodes.

Yi Qing's arrangement is also to allow the audience to watch a story in its entirety every day.

Now if we focus on shooting Guo Xiaozhen's scenes, then we have to disrupt the shooting plan. At that time, they will have no problem editing, but when the audience is watching, they will definitely feel chaotic.

How to solve this problem still needs to be discussed with Zhao Baogang.

When this matter was settled, Director Wang Fulin felt a little more relaxed, and Director Ren no longer had to keep a straight face.

In fact, after receiving the notification from the CCTV leadership that they agreed to invest more in the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", the two of them have been thinking about this matter in addition to convening the crew and actors.

It's easy to ask people to come over directly, but in that case, it would be too irresponsible to Yi Qing. It's such a rare opportunity for him to be in charge of a crew when he is less than twenty. It's going to be yellow.

That's fine, with Zhou Ling by his side, Wang Fulin can rest assured.

The matter was settled, and then Wang Fulin became concerned about Yi Qing's current situation: "Apart from being busy with that crew, have you written any other scripts recently?"

"I wrote one before, but because of the large investment, Beijing and Taiwan have not made a conclusion. Later, our production center operated independently, and we didn't have that much money to start this drama."

When Wang Fulin heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh! How much investment? It scared away Beijing and Taiwan."

"To start this show, it will cost about 300 million yuan, and additional investment may be required in the future."

This number is Yi Qing's conservative estimate. The pure production cost is at least 200 million. In addition, there are setting, actors' remuneration, etc. If this film is really made, 500 million will not be able to beat it.

The initial capital of "Dream of Red Mansions" was 500 million, and the follow-up investment was about 300 million. The result was like this, and many plots in the back of the story were forced to be deleted.

After hearing the figures from Yiqing Daily, General Assembly Ren was also taken aback: "What kind of drama is burning so much money, "Dream of Red Mansions" plus this additional investment is only 800 million."

"Dream of Red Mansions" had a large investment, mainly on props, costumes, and setting, because the actors were all young people who had never acted before, and the total salary was not much.

But "Crossing the Guandong" is different. If it is really going to be filmed, Yi Qing does not have the guts of Wang Fulin to cast a group of inexperienced young people to act. At that time, the main roles must be well-known actors, and the film salary will take up Go for a large portion.

Then Yi Qing also talked about the outline of the story of "Crossing the Guandong". Wang Fulin is also very interested in this subject matter, but it is a pity that all his energy is now devoted to "Dream of Red Mansions", and there is really no way to open a new hole. .

Yi Qing stayed at Wang Fulin's house until after ten o'clock, and then left. She didn't go home after leaving the community, but went directly to Zhao Baogang's house.

"Xiao Yi, what time is it, why are you here?"

Zhao Baogang also lives in a one-bedroom apartment, but the environment is much better than Director Wang Fulin's home.

When Yi Qing arrived, he and his daughter-in-law Ding Xin were already asleep, and they were also curious when they opened the door to see that it was Yi Qing.

Yi Qing glanced inside and said, "Is it convenient?"

Before Zhao Baogang could speak, Ding Xin had already walked out: "There's nothing inconvenient, come in quickly!"

When Yi Qing came in, Ding Xin poured a cup of tea and sat down.

"I came here to discuss something with you. I just got the letter that "Dream of Red Mansions" will be re-filmed. CCTV has increased investment, and Guo Xiaozhen has to return it!"

Zhao Baogang didn't wait for Yi Qing to finish speaking, he became anxious as soon as he heard it: "How can this work, her main scene is about to be filmed, and she is gone, what should we do with this scene?"

Ding Xin gave Zhao Baogang a hand: "What are you in a hurry for? Let Xiao Yi finish talking first!"

Yi Qing continued: "That's right, why are you in a hurry, I just came from Director Wang Fulin's house, and I have already agreed with him there, Director Wang gave me ten days, we must finish the filming within ten days, if not If we can’t finish filming all [-] episodes, let’s focus on Guo Xiaozhen’s scenes first!”

After Zhao Baogang heard this, he felt a little more at ease. He was really afraid that the crew of the Red Mansion would take people away without showing respect. If that was the case, the film "I Love My Family" would have to stop and wait for other people to shoot. After that, they can continue.

But the problem is, he also heard from Yi Qing before that every shot in those big productions is meticulously crafted, and Yi Qing's Liu Xianglian played just a few scenes, which took more than a month to film.

If we really wait for "Dream of Red Mansions" to finish, then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!

However, Zhao Baogang and Yi Qing had the same worry. It was too late to shoot all the scenes in ten days, and if they focused on Guo Xiaozhen's scenes, the audience would not be able to take care of them.

"Xiao Yi, can you discuss it and give us half a month!"

Yi Qing shook his head: "I can't say anything. Originally, Director Wang gave us a week. It's just me talking about it for ten days. In the end, Mr. Zhou Ling interceded and agreed. No matter how long it takes, they won't agree at all. That's it. , when these ten days pass, I have to personally send him to Hangzhou!"

That is really not negotiable!

"Old Zhao! Let's not think about anything else about this matter. I don't think it's okay to disrupt the shooting plan. We have only one way to go now, and that is to speed up the progress, work overtime and shoot, and strive to finish the film within ten days. All the scenes are filmed!"

It took less than ten days to shoot before, and it is not only difficult, but also very difficult to finish filming a 20-episode TV series in 30 days.
