"I don't even know where you found this bunch of actors, how can they be so good at acting?"
Chen Yu and Xin Pingqing were also drinking together. After three glasses of wine, Chen Yu was already very talkative. The ground began.
“I used to film with my teacher, and the hardest part every time was finding actors. It was so hard to find good actors who fit the roles, and scheduling was a big problem.” Chen Yu said, “How did you do it? The actors in each role are so awesome.”
“The actors in Jump Up Theater are all auditioned and have little acting experience. For actors, they will ask for performance coaches to help the actors figure out the roles. Moreover, after the team is officially formed, the director will start to think about the script with the actors and rehearse offline. "Xin Pingqing said, "It's basically the same as a drama. , when this drama was launched, everyone had basically been working together many times in private.”
Chen Yu couldn’t believe it.
"Would they be willing to invest so much time up front?" he asked.
Xin Pingqing said, "Unless it reaches the level of starring Yan He, and his acting skills are very good, we will not worry about the kind of actor who cannot invest time and energy from the early stage. We will not hire you. We made this very clear during the audition."
"Well, you guys are awesome. If we make such a request to the actors, many actors will not accept it. Here we come." Chen Yu said, "Jump up and come to the theater. It’s different.”
“No, in fact, many people don’t come after hearing such a request,” Xin Pingqing said, “But we have established a very large actor library, and every time they come. We will create an information file for the actors who audition, so that when we select actors, many roles will be directly targeted. After selection, some actors will not come.”
Chen Yu was shocked.
"This is really something that only your Jump Theater can do. Otherwise, we might only have one project a year, or even one project every two or three years. It doesn't make much sense to build such an actor library."
Xin Pingqing nodded: "So, in fact, there are also professional casting companies in the industry now."
"There is a problem with professional casting companies. They are not so familiar with the requirements of the crew. "They all look for people based on a few key characteristics," Chen Yu said, "Your goals are more precise than theirs."
Xin Pingqing nodded, "Mainly because we average. It is very necessary to start a project every week."
"I have learned." Chen Yu nodded, "If I can't find an actor in the future, I will come to you. .”
Xin Pingqing smiled.
“The main thing is that my leaders are very courageous. Every drama has an actor who can carry the drama, or even none. It doesn’t matter. The interview is completely based on the suitability of the role and the consideration of acting skills. Actor." Xin Pingqing said, "Except here, no crew in the industry can do this. There are not all kinds of interpersonal relationships and undercurrents behind that interview. You never know who is standing behind an actor."
"Isn't this nice, jump The theater is really changing the ecology of the industry again and again." Chen Yu nodded, "I hope that all major film and television companies will follow your example."
He said this. A toast to Xin Pingqing After drinking the wine, he asked: "But, Brother Qing, what happened to Director An? Why can't he direct suddenly? It shouldn't be due to sudden illness, right?"
Xin Pingqing was stunned. He looked at Chen Yu with some surprise.
"You guys have already dragged me onto this boat anyway. You have to tell me what happened to the people who were on this boat before, right?" Chen Yu said.
Xin Pingqing looked hesitant.
-
Liu Yuan is the financial assistant assigned to the crew of "The Silent Staircase" by Jump Up Company.
He never thought that one day he would suddenly start working in human resources.
Before the boss came, he asked him to investigate privately who on the crew was brought over by Director An Jian, and to compile a list including all the information he could get.
Although Liu Yuan was confused, workers would not directly question it because of doubts.
He still followed Chen Siqi's request very seriously and learned about the relevant situation.
However, after he sorted it out, it became even stranger.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t this kind of thing be done by the production assistant Xin Pingqing?
He has the information of everyone on the crew, so why should he, a financial assistant who is useless, do this?
He took the information and gave it to Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi nodded and asked: "Is there any problem with the crew's finances?"
"Every account is clear." Liu Yuan said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Chen Siqi nodded.
After Liu Yuan left, Lu Yanhe asked him: "Why didn't you just ask Xin Pingqing to sort out these materials for you?"
"He is so busy now."
Lu Yanhe paused. "But for him, these information are all ready-made."
Chen Siqi looked back at Lu Yanhe, "Okay, to be honest, he is also the one who received the anonymous letter. It is related to this matter. I want to find an unrelated person to investigate An Jian's interpersonal relationships on the set. "
Lu Yanhe: "Do you doubt Xin Pingqing?"
"One thing." Chen Siqi asked, "Don't you find it strange? Only two people in the entire crew received anonymous letters. One is director An Jian himself. We can all understand this, so why is the other person who received it Xin Pingqing?"
Lu Yanhe: "Because he is a production assistant?"
"Then why not give it to the producer, but to a production assistant?" Chen Siqi asked.
Lu Yanhe frowned slightly, "Because Xin Pingqing is from Linghe Film and Television, but the executive producer on the scene is from Northern Lights Video? In this person's eyes, Xin Pingqing is more trustworthy?"
< br>"Director An Jian is the director we have decided on, It’s not Northern Lights Video, which is more trustworthy. In terms of intimacy, it’s also the most distant relationship between Northern Lights Video and Director An Jian.” Chen Siqi waved her hand, “But I just have suspicions. There is no evidence. I just follow my judgment first. Check it out.”
"I'm just surprised that the person you suspected the first time was Xin Pingqing."
"I didn't doubt him the first time, but I did have doubts about him." Chen Siqi said bluntly, "Because Hu Siwei and I mentioned that Xin Pingqing was not very friendly towards An Jian. Knowing that An Jian wanted to join Linghe, he expressed his opposition to this matter to Hu Siwei. "
Lu Yanhe was slightly stunned.
"Is there such a thing? Why is this?"
"Who knows." Chen Siqi said, "Anyone who knows these things about An Jian must have known An Jian. After all, these things have not been exposed for a long time. The number of people who know about this matter ranges from Limited. All I could think of were old people who had followed An Jian for a long time, or people who knew these old people. So, I asked Liu Yuan to help me inquire and investigate on the crew. This kind of personal relationship can be seen from the resume. Yes, but sometimes it can’t be seen in the resume.”
Lu Yanhe nodded. "By the way, how are you communicating with Tropical Rainy Season? When is the latest time to go there?"
"Fortunately, Wang Biao coordinated with them, and they You can adjust my shooting time later, since I don’t have many scenes anyway,” Lu Yanhe said, “Here. The time is much more relaxed. If you really can’t shoot within a week, or need to make up for it, I can cooperate.” Will go to Malaysia?”
Lu Yanhe smiled, “Visiting class?”
"Visiting class, we stopped by to talk about publishing the Chinese and English versions of "Jump Up" in Malaysia." Chen Siqi also laughed, "A cultural fund invited us to discuss cooperation, because there are many Chinese in Malaysia, and this fund is already doing research in China. Regarding the spread of culture overseas, I know that we at "Jump Up" have been trying to make an impact overseas and want to go overseas, so we took the initiative to contact us."
Lu Yanhe: "This is true, Malaysia and Singapore. ...There are still many places in Southeast Asia where there are quite a lot of Chinese."
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "Although the sales of the three books "Jump Up" currently published in Japan are average. I keep losing money, so depressed "
Lu Yanhe: "Work hard."
"I have already planned to let the Japanese version of "Jump Up" cooperate with the celebrity agency to see if I can get the stars to bring the goods. ”
"It's not impossible, but the cost of cooperation should not be low, right?"
"Let's look at the cooperation model." Chen Siqi said, "Jump Up Theater has started to be produced, and these plays will have the opportunity to go overseas in the future. I plan to use the influence of this to translate the theme book of "Jump Up" wherever it is broadcast. It's popular in the local area "
"Anyway, let's work hard first. Fortunately, the cost of making books is not that high, and we can still afford it with our advertising fees." Chen Siqi smiled, "Especially now that we are doing theater work. Our copyright operations revenue The revenue has skyrocketed, giving us the capital to continue to work hard.”
“That’s good.” Lu Yanhe nodded, “In this day and age, there are not many companies that can still earn advertising fees from print media.”< br>
Many people think that "Jump Up" magazine relies on advertising fees from other channels to support this magazine. In fact, many people don’t know that the income from the advertising pages distributed with the magazine every month is enough to support the magazine’s attempt to go overseas. At the same time, the monthly sales volume of about 250,000 copies, as well as the sales revenue from the electronic version, make the magazine's annual net profit more than 10 million, making it completely self-sufficient. Not to mention, the magazine’s income from copyright derivative cooperation led by Jump Up Theater.
Chen Siqi himself summarizes why "Jump Up" can be successful and has a sustained success. There is a very key factor. This magazine has never rested on its laurels. It only stayed in its own safe zone and kept trying. Various cooperations, from electronic editions to three visits to the thatched cottage to invite famous writers To publish articles, from combining holidays or some themes, making special editions and creating topics, to in-depth cooperation with the film and television industry, whether it is columns for celebrity artists or the development of Jump Up theater, Chen Siqi and her team have never felt that "Jump Up" The success has reached a bottleneck and can stop here.
Everyone still believes that the readership and audience of this magazine can be larger. Constant efforts have really allowed the readership of this magazine to continue to expand little by little, and then, for the entire jumping media Matrix has built a solid user base.

“A large group play like ours is a story-telling play mainly based on character dialogue. Everyone’s rhythm is very important. If you say a word, say it one second earlier and one second later. Say, that doesn’t feel right.”
What people didn't expect was that Chen Yu took several main actors to eat together every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Every time he eats, Chen Yu will express his understanding and opinions about the drama while eating.
The main reason is that time is too tight.
Chen Yu has no other time to communicate with everyone.
If a director cannot understand his actors well enough, the scene will often appear to be incompatible with each other - this does not refer to the relationship between the director and the actor, but to the relationship between the director and the actor about the role. Presented understanding.
"In the scene we filmed just this morning, the last slap given by Teacher Yufen was just right, a performance at the level of a movie queen." Chen Yu gave Peng Yufen a thumbs up, "That's awesome. In five seconds, she suddenly changed I felt three emotions, and then slapped him across the face, and the whole feeling of the play was up."
Peng Yufen smiled and waved her hands. Said: "The director is so good at praising people."
Zhang Yuan immediately asked: "Director, am I worse than her in acting?"
Peng Yufen immediately dropped her smile and rolled her eyes at him , "How old are you and still asking for praise?"
Chen Yu seemed not to notice the discord between the two people at all.
"The feeling between you two is so right." Chen Yu smiled, "After the show is aired, I think there will be many viewers who will eat your CP."
"What the hell? "Zhang Yuan's eyes widened immediately.
Peng Yufen also looked disgusted.
"The audience should eat something good, don't eat everything, it will easily spoil your stomach."
Chen Yu laughed and turned to look at the photographer next to him who was responsible for filming the crew's documentary. Said: "Remember to cut out this dialogue. When the audience enjoys this pair of CP, release this dialogue!"
As soon as he said this, the two people were too embarrassed to continue to choke each other. They glared at each other and stopped talking.
Lu Yanhe smiled.
It's a bit funny indeed.
However, Chen Yu was able to suppress these two old guns who were unwilling to deal with. It can only be said that he really has two brushes.
Lu Yanhe was very curious about how Chen Yu grew up. Lu Yanhe is not surprised that young directors are talented. Talent accounts for more than half of talent. If you are born with amazing talents, you have to thank God for the food. Being measured and advancing and retreating appropriately is indeed something that needs to be cultivated.
Lu Yanhe really wanted to recruit Chen Yu to his company at this moment.
However, with this thought, he gave up the idea in time.
When I was working on "Love Letter", it was already troublesome enough to dig up Li Fenglei.
Lu Yanhe doesn’t want to go through such trouble again.
Once we get to know each other, just maintain the cooperative relationship and work together on suitable projects in the future.
There is no need to think about poaching someone to your company just because you meet someone you admire.
His company is not a warehouse, and all good things must be collected there.
Lu Yanhe's cell phone suddenly buzzed and vibrated. It was a message from Chen Siqi: Xin Pingqing's father used to be a screenwriter in An Jian's director company, and later committed suicide.
The smile on Lu Yanhe's face suddenly froze.
