Chapter 455 Visiting the set, refusing to cooperate
"Our company has three crews here, "Wulin Wai Shi Treasure Hunt", "Beauty's Scheming" and "Pacific Rim". Among them, "Pacific Rim" is still in the preparation stage, and director Guo Fan is in charge, and Hengdian Group has given us great support. I will take you to meet them later..."
After visiting the set of "Wulin Wai Shi Treasure", Zhang Chen did not leave immediately, and took Chen Xiaowei to the crew of "Beauty's Scheming".
Chen Xiaowei was very novel along the way. She had been here for two days, but she still felt it was fresh. "It turns out that this is how the film and television dramas were filmed~
Those martial arts scenes were hung in slow motion, but why was the speed of the final screening normal? And those wires disappeared during the filming? "
"This is the late stage. Those wires can be erased through technical means when they are in the late stage. They look like 1,500~"
Chen Xiaowei was shocked. She calculated it in her heart. It is really expensive to shoot film and television dramas.
A scene has at least a dozen wires, and each one is 1,500, and the cost alone is not young.
After contacting the past two days, Zhang Chen is quite satisfied with Chen Xiaowei. Although he has never been in contact with the film and television industry, he has a very strong ability to accept. He only needs to say it once and can learn from it.
Therefore, a capable person is good no matter what kind of career he does.
Chen Xiaowei didn't know what Zhang Chen said about her, and she sighed in her heart:
There must be a capable person behind Hengdian. It is really convenient to film in this place, with low prices and complete services.
Hengdian's external publicity provides free shooting venues. The crew only needs to register with the coordination office in advance for how many days to use. The coordination office will schedule each crew, and you can just use it on your day.
It is claimed to be free, but it cannot be really free, but it only costs a few hundred yuan, and the cost can be negligible.
Only those third-party landscapes are more expensive.
For example, "Beauty's Scheming" requires a scene in Peach Blossom Land. Then, let's set it up now. After the set is set, it can be removed. In the future, other crews have to pay if they want to use it. This may be more expensive. For thousands or tens of thousands a day, Hengdian Group and the crew of the set are divided according to proportion.
"Many crews are willing to come here. In addition to free scenes, there is another reason, which is that they are very convenient here.
The crew-related resources can be found here.
What kind of props do you think you need today? You can place an order on the same day and send it on the same day, which does not affect the shooting at all.
If you change to other places, you won’t be so efficient. "
Chen Xiaowei reacted, "Is there anything wrong with it? "
Zhang Chen gave her an admiring look: "Yes, because it is so convenient, there are everything around her, so the actors are not very at ease when they come here.
If it is in another place and the actors have no place to go after work, they can only stay in the hotel.
The director wants to add a show, or just chat with someone on one phone call.
But it is unlikely to be in Hengdian. You call at night and say you want to talk to the actors about the script. But you call and find that they are drinking outside. There are many crews here, many acquaintances, and restaurants are everywhere on the roadside. They are open 24 hours a day. If you encounter it, you will inevitably get together..."
"Hahaha, it seems that this is true~" Chen Xiaowei covered her mouth and laughed.
"Then the people in Hengdian Town have posted it, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing based on this film and television base..."
"Of course, the people in this town are richer than ordinary people. "
After thinking about it, he added, "Actually, as long as you have something to do with the crew, it is not difficult to make money. ”
He decided to use his time today to popularize Chen Xiaowei's basic knowledge.
"A crew can make money anywhere in the food, drink, defecation and urination. For example, lunch boxes are a crew of hundreds of people, and the standard of ten yuan per meal is still a standard of fifteen yuan. There are too many places to operate here."
"Is lunch boxes usually the relationship between directors?"
"Not necessarily. Usually, the crew has to find a local meeting when shooting a scene in one place.
The so-called local connection means that there is a certain force in the local area, which is the so-called "Big Brother Pingshi".
The local people are all locals, and they know more about the local area. If you think about it for a moment, you will know that there is one there.
When something happens, the local contact can help settle it.
But the cost of land transfer cannot be too exaggerated, so you have to find a supplement from other places. Generally, the crew lunch box is a crew, which can be considered an invisible benefit. "
Chen Xiaowei nodded, "This is similar to the ground push on our Internet.
Our ground promotion activities are often used. ”
Zhang Chen happened to know this. Not only the Internet, but many physical industries are like this. Express companies must start their business, and Gome Suning’s new store opening also needs to start their operations.
"I'll tell you something interesting. I heard that a crew went to a remote village to film. There was only one small shop in that village.
The owner of the convenience store was a smart person. He bribed the director and won the lunch box business.
The lunch box business alone can make a lot of money every day.
The crew has hundreds of people, and in addition to food, there are other needs, fruits, ham sausages, and condoms...
The goods prepared by the convenience store can be bought in one day.
Then in the next month, the convenience store owner will find all his aunts and aunts to help purchase and sell goods. He will no longer do business in the small mountain village and will serve the crew.
He inquired about the crew's daily shooting plan. He started work. He finished work. He finished work. He drove his own small torn bread behind the crew's butt every day. He sold whatever the crew needed.
When the crew got off work, he set up a stall in front of the small shop to sell all kinds of snacks.
The crew is tired of eating boxed lunches every day, and they want to eat some snacks and drink some wine to improve their lives.
Just like that, a month later, after the crew left after filming, the owner of the convenience store turned from a small bread into an Audi. He earned at least hundreds of thousands of dollars from the crew. This is just him. The director and deputy director he respected is probably making a lot of money..." Chen Xiaowei understood this story: "I will be familiar with the various affairs of the crew as soon as possible~"
Zhang Chen nodded, obediently, and if you want to manage a film and television company, you must be familiar with the tricks here, otherwise what else can you talk about management?
When he came to the crew of "Beauty Scheming", the crew was resting, and the actors sat in groups of three or three, and it was vaguely seen how many waves it was divided into.
Fan Xiaopang was alone~
Wen Yongshan and Chen Jianfeng got together, probably because both of them were from Hong Kong.
Yang Xiaomi seems to be very familiar with the two.
Hu Ge and Liu Shishi said something in a mess, while the rest of the people were in groups of three or three...
A staff member soon recognized Zhang Chen who was approaching and shouted: "Director Zhang~"
Everyone heard the sound and saw Zhang Chen and Chen Xiaowei beside him.
"Hello everyone, I'm here to visit the set, but I'm sorry, I didn't bring anything~"
Zhang Chen greeted everyone very well, and then went straight to the director's seat.
Xue Xiaolu was watching the replay. He turned around and saw Zhang Chen and stood up immediately.
"Teacher Xue~"
"Zhang Chen~, oh no, Director Zhang~"
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay to call it. No matter how comfortable it is, I don't care about these things~"
Zhang Chen has never cared about these details.
When he came to Xue Xiaolu, Zhang Chen introduced: "This is Mr. Chen, the new vice president of the company, and she will connect with you in the future~"
"This is Director Xue Xiaolu and the teacher of the Beijing Film Academy Literature Department~"
"Hello Director Xue, I am Chen Xiaowei~"
"Hello Director Xue, I am Chen Xiaowei~"
The three of them sat down and chatted casually. "Teacher Xue, is the filming of the crew going smoothly?" "It's smooth, everyone is very dedicated, and the script written by Screenwriter Yu is complete..." Yu Zheng happened to come over at this time and heard the director praise him, and his face was full of energy.
Fan Xiaopang also came over at this time. Even though he knew that Zhang Chen was coming, only Fan Xiaopang dared to come over among the actors, and the others dared to watch from a distance.
Zhang Chen hurriedly introduced to her: "This one is Mr. Chen Xiaowei, and she will be responsible for the film and television in the future~"
"Sister Chen will take care of you in the future~"
"Binbin, you are polite. Director Zhang is joking. I am Manager Dong's deputy, helping with chores~"
People carry people in the flower sedan chair. Everyone is very polite when they meet for the first time.
"What are the large group of people over there for?"
Zhang Chen pointed at a long dragon in the distance.
Fan Xiaopang smiled and said, "That's an extra. You may not know how famous our crew is in Hengdian. I think our crew has to grab the quota of extras~"
It's really not nonsense. "Beauty's Scheming" is famous in the Hengdian extras circle, and there are too many beauties.
The extras were snatching the ball one by one, not just to see the beauty more.
Zhang Chen looked around. Indeed, walking into the crew was like entering the Kingdom of Women.
All kinds of beautiful women~
Fan Xiaopang, Yang Xiaomi, Qin Lan, Wen Yongshan, Liu Shishi, Sun Feifei, Zhao Liying, Bai Xue...
According to Zhang Chen's meaning, "Beauty's Scheming" must be deducted, and all the actresses in the crew must be beauties.
When they joked, they almost caught all the most beautiful female stars born in the 1980s in China. "By the way, Director Xue, I'll contact the reporter for a while and promote our crew. You can arrange for everyone to make up and try to make it beautiful. I'm going to promote it..."
Zhang Chen had expressed his ideas about what he had discussed with Chen Xiaowei before in the future.
This idea was actually thought of by Chen Xiaowei. She is worthy of being an Internet player and is well versed in the art of hype. "Okay, I'll let everyone prepare~" Xue Xiaolu ordered, and soon, the actors got the news and put on makeup one by one at the makeup artist.
Fan Xiaopang also went back and asked the exclusive makeup artist to do makeup for him.
As the heroine of this drama, she still has the most beautiful appearance. She must ensure that she is the most beautiful.
This aspect must not be taken lightly.
The slutty guys in this crew are all so beautiful. She doesn't want the newspaper to be released tomorrow and Fan Binbin is overwhelmed by the crew.
Zhang Chen walked and stopped, walking among the flowers, lingering.
There are so many fairies here, and they all shook their eyes at him.
This is how women are, they are alone, as timid as a mouse. If you look at her more, she will blush.
But if a few get together, even men can't stand the color of the joke.
Under the operation of the makeup artist, beauties are released one by one.
The art and makeup level of "Beauty's Scheming" are very high, and these people were interviewed by Zhang Chen himself.
During the interview, you said that you had been in awesome crews and had to show your skills on the spot.
If you can meet Zhang Chen's requirements, stay. If you don't meet it, I'm sorry, next~
In the flowers, the fairies showed their charm to Zhang Chen.
It was full of spring, youthful and beautiful. There are many beauties in Hengdian, but none of them has as high sugar content as "Beauty's Scheming".
Zhang Chen happened to walk to Hu Ge.
The main male actors in this drama are Hu Ge and Chen Jianfeng.
Hu Ge plays Emperor Liu Heng, while Chen Jianfeng is the general Wei Zifu.
"Director Zhang~"
Seeing Zhang Chen looking over, Hu Ge took the initiative to say hello, Zhang Chen patted his shoulder, "How about it, are you still used to filming this drama?"
Hello casually, but in his heart, it's September, Hu Ge is safe and sound, so it should be fine.
Amitabha~
Hu Ge doesn’t have to be injured, and his assistant doesn’t have to die.
But then I thought that his assistant was fine, would there be an assistant later?
It seems that the two of them got married in the end.
But then I thought, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. The bad marriage is the bad marriage. It seems that they got married only after getting pregnant during the epidemic.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Putting off makeup one after another, some people have changed into new costumes. The specially designed costumes set off the figure of the girls very well.
The costumes in "Beauty's Scheming" did not strictly follow the loose style of the Han Dynasty, but made some improvements to further highlight the curve.
What Zhang Chen wants to do is not a historical drama, so there is no need to be so sophisticated.
Compared with the rigorous clothing, whether it is beautiful or not is the most important thing.
Zhang Chen carefully identified the girls, and when he saw that the difference immediately came out.
It's all monsters, but some are fairies, some are monsters~
How is the difference between monsters and monsters?
It's very simple, just look at your breasts.
It's big sperm~
The girls sitting there were all monsters, only one was a monster, Blind Sister, why are you looking down?
After a while, the reporter Chen Xiaowei contacted arrived.
Crazy photos~
The kind that murders Feilin~
The beauty is so beautiful~
The beauty of all women is like a man and a woman~
After taking photos, there was an interview, Zhang Chen was interviewed and brought Yu Zheng with him.
"What kind of story is "Beauty's Scheming"? Is it a palace fighting theme similar to "Golden Branch"?"
"It's a palace fighting theme, but the starting points of the two dramas are different. More specific, I think our screenwriter will tell you in person."
Yu Zheng is a character similar to Zhang Dahuzi, one of the two people who love to hype the most in the TV series field.
Although she is still very immature now, Zhang Chen doesn't mind giving him a chance.
Faced with the camera, Yu Zheng was full of excitement and pushed his glasses: "I had great ambitions when I was creating this drama. I wanted to surpass "The Golden Branch" and create a different palace drama~"
Roar~
It was indeed Yu Zheng!
The words are not astonishing as they are!
"The theme of "The Golden Branch" is a cruel palace battle, and there is no winner in the drama.
Although "Beauty's Scheming" also has palace battle scenes, its perspectives are different. In this drama, there are friendship, love, loyalty, and betrayal...
The coexistence of a happy and cruelty!
This is a story of a girl's growth. She was teased by fate and could only rely on herself to reach the peak of power step by step."
The reporter became more and more familiar with her: "Why do you sound like Wu Zetian?"
"No, the audience is too familiar with Wu Zetian's story, and it is difficult to play again, so we changed to another person - Dou Yifang!"
"Who is Dou Yifang?"
"Emperor Wen's wife, the third queen of the Western Han Dynasty, was originally just a little palace maid in the Western Han Dynasty palace, serving the Empress Dowager Lu Zhi. Later, she became the concubine and empress of Emperor Wen of Han, and then became the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager...
I think this story is quite inspiring."
Zhang Chen pointed and circled: "Reporter, you have also seen the cast of our drama. It is called "Beauty Scheming" and will not delay the name?"
The reporter glanced at the girls and said, "No delay, no delay, I will support it in the months when the airing will start~"
Zhang Chen hugged the other person's shoulders: "Haha, in terms of the actor's beauty, we are not convinced except "Journey to the West"!"
"Golden sentences, absolute golden sentences, Director Zhang, today's report, the name is used - we are not convinced no one except "Journey to the West"!"
"Brother, you are a media person~"
The reporter left after stuffing a thick red envelope.
In the afternoon, the shooting continued.
Hu Ge was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at the same time, so he left after filming for a while.
But it didn't take long to come back, and Cai Yinong was also here with him.
"Mr. Cai~"
"Director Zhang, I heard Hu Ge say that Director Zhang came to visit the set, so I came over immediately. I had long wanted to get to know Director Zhang~"
"President Cai is polite~"
"I don't know if Director Zhang has time tonight. I'll be a party, let's have a meal together~"
"Well~, then okay~"
Cai Yinong came over to invite him in person, and Zhang Chen couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
However, he probably guessed that Cai Yinong was treating to dinner, but he wanted to cooperate, but Zhang Chen was not very interested.
Tang Ren has been doing well in the past two years~
"The Lotus Lantern of Legend of Heaven and Earth", "The Female General of the Yang Family", "The Book and Sword Revenge", "The World Unrivaled"...
There will also be "The Fairy Sword" that became popular last year~
"The Fairy Sword" is popular all over the country, but it also exposed their shortcomings - the relationship is not good.
Such a popular drama has not appeared on the stars.
Zhang Chen speculated that Cai Yinong wanted to cooperate with him because he fell in love with the good relationship between Star Entertainment and various satellite TV stations.
But Zhang Chen really couldn't imagine that Tang Ren had something he needed, so he was not optimistic about the cooperation between the two companies.
"Although I am a Wanwan person, I first made a living in Hong Kong. I used to coordinate the Academy Awards and worked as Guan Yonghe, Guo Jinan's agent. Later, I came out to work alone.
I thought about it when I started working alone and started a costume drama.
Why?
Because only costume dramas can be sold overseas~"
Cai Yinong seemed to be chatting casually, but Zhang Chen knew that the other party was telling herself that she was not a weak chicken.
"Mr. Cai, you are so awesome~"
Hu Ge and Liu Shishi next to her listened with relish. Although they were Tang Ren's number one brother and sister, this was the first time they heard this.
Zhang Chen suddenly wanted to laugh, as if he was as quiet as a chrysanthemum, he was worthy of being Mr. Yuan's goddaughter. When he heard about the story, he knew how to provide emotional value.
"Mr. Cai is really a hero among women~"
Zhang Chen gave a compliment. It is indeed not easy for a woman to create a huge reputation in the mainland.
"But I don't agree with your Hong Kong and Taiwan director + Hong Kong and Taiwan male lead + Mainland actress + Hong Kong behind-the-scenes team. It might be possible at first, but to the present, mainland film and television have begun to show their strength. Mr. Cai is probably..."
Cai Yinong has also heard of Zhang Chen's contempt for Hong Kong and Taiwan, and did not refute him when he heard this, but instead said: "Director Zhang is right. I also recognize this problem, so I signed Hu Ge and Shishi. Facts have proved that mainland actors can indeed bear the ratings~"
Zhang Chen has nothing to say, and Cai Yinong did it.
Chen Xiaowei next to her interrupted: "As both women, I can understand the difficulty of Mr. Cai. At the same time, I admire Mr. Cai's keenness in the Internet. Mr. Cai should be the one who attaches the most importance to the Internet in the entertainment industry I know..."
"Oh? What's the situation? Let's talk about it in detail~"
Seeing that everyone is interested, Chen Xiaowei continued: "Mr. Cai should be the first boss of a film and television company in China to pay attention to Tianya. Every time a film and television project is launched, there will be related discussions on the Internet, and the popularity is not low. These should be the work of Mr. Cai..."
"It's over-the-win, I thought no one noticed this, but I didn't expect that it would be seen by others~"
Cai Yinong smiled and was modest.
When Zhang Chen introduced the two of them before, she didn't have any special feelings, but only then did she realize that Chen Xiaowei did have two tricks. "By the way, I haven't thanked Director Zhang for his help yet. Thank you Director Zhang for giving Hu Ge and Shishi the opportunity to participate in the "Beauty Scheming" project. You two are not respecting Director Zhang~"
The two raised their glasses when they heard this, and Zhang Chen drank them all.
After a glass of wine, the blind sister's cheeks immediately became rosy, and her whole temperament immediately became no longer as light as a chrysanthemum in her character, but became delicate and charming.
But this did not cause much critical strike to Zhang Chen.
When her debut, the blind sister was known as "Little Liu Yifei". The two of them did look a bit similar, and they both took the cold route.
But they are not Zhang Chen's dishes, let alone a pair of a~
The crowd talked a lot, and Cai Yinong finally got to the point.
"Director Zhang, Tang Ren has strong film and television production capabilities, and the film and television dramas we produce have always been very popular.
The film and television production capabilities of Star Entertainment are also the best in the industry. I think our two companies naturally have complementary features, so it is better to strengthen cooperation~"
Zhang Chen did not comment, and Chen Xiaowei said beside him, "How will Mr. Cai cooperate?"
"Our film and television projects are open to Director Zhang, and Director Zhang's film and television projects are also open to Tang Ren, so that everyone can achieve a win-win situation~"
Cai Yinong said with great spirit, and Zhang Chen sneered.
It's still a win-win situation?
Win win~
Tang Ren’s TV series is indeed good, especially the ancient puppet dramas, which are indeed selling well.
But Tang Ren's movie is the God of Plague, and he suffers from all the blood loss.
"Suspicious" ~
"Beautiful Mantening" ~
The former found Big S partner Liu Ye, director of Yau Litao, the best horror film director in Hong Kong, and he didn't even go to theaters.
The latter is almost the same.
On the other hand, Star Entertainment is the first in the industry, and in terms of TV series, the current production of "Wulin Waizai" is the first in the same period, and the newly produced "Before the Dawn" is also selling well.
In terms of TV series, Star Entertainment does not need Tang Ren at all. On the contrary, Tang Ren takes a big advantage in movies.
How can this be a win-win situation?
This is completely poverty alleviation.
However, if you don’t like Tang Ren’s words, only Zhang Chen can say that if you change to other companies, such as Huayi, you won’t dare to look at Tang Ren.
They have a good strength.
Tang Ren has his own studio in Hengdian, a 2,000-square-meter "Tangren Pavilion" and a small white building in Tangren Hengdian Production Center.
Just rushing to this point, it at least shows his strength.
It is possible to have its own studio in Hengdian, and more than 90% of film and television production companies are available.
"In this regard, Mr. Cai can communicate more with Mr. Chen. I am about to start the filming of "Pacific Rim". The company will not interfere in the regular affairs. All of them will be left to Manager Dong and Vice President Chen. You can communicate with yourself."
Zhang Chen made a big move, and Chen Xiaowei immediately followed: "I just came here and the business is not very familiar, but I am very looking forward to Tang Ren's cooperation. Let's contact more on weekdays~"
Chen Xiaowei is also a good person. After saying this, Cai Yinong couldn't tell the truth.
Anyway, it's the trick~
(This chapter is over)
