"By the way, who does Brother Xuan want to film this TV series? Otherwise, I will film it." Chen Kai said.
"Are you okay? You haven't finished filming "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" yet?" Zhu Xu said.
"No, it will probably take another month or two."
"Isn't that right? After one or two months of filming, plus post-editing, it will take at least three or four months. Why are you here to film a TV series? Besides, you are still from Tianyu now."
"Lao Zhu, please don't provoke me. Believe it or not, I will just give up the burden and go directly to you?" Chen Kai said.
"Actually, I really hope you can come over. The film and television department here in Tianhai are all young directors, and no one can shoulder the responsibility, but we can't do this. At least Mr. Lu can treat you well, right?"
"That's true. After you left, didn't Xu Ke take over your position? Then Lu Tianyu wanted me to take over as the head of the film and television department, but I pushed him back. By the way, will Tianyu definitely die? No. Other possibilities? I think Tianyu is doing quite well recently, and he has done a great job in all aspects."
"It's just madness before death. Lu Tianyu should never choose direct listing. Direct listing is too risky, and Tianyu will not be able to handle the slightest disturbance."
"Okay, then I will accompany Tianyu for the last part of the journey with peace of mind. By the way, you haven't answered my question yet, who does Brother Xuan plan to let film this TV series?"
"He took the pictures himself."
"Ah? Brother Xuan knows how to make movies?"
"Who knows, anyway, he said he has this hobby."
"Another hobby? He has quite a wide range of hobbies. But judging from his script writing, maybe he really knows how to do it."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, he said that the maximum investment is tens of millions. If you lose, you will lose." Zhu Xu said that even now, he still doesn't dare to have high hopes for Wang Xuan to make a TV series. It's roughly like the mentality of studying with the prince.
.....
Since there is no problem with the TV series, it can be filed.
The so-called filing, in short, means that after selecting the script, with a synopsis that expresses the theme of the play, main characters, historical background, storyline, etc., apply to the Provincial Radio, Film and Television Bureau (Department) for TV drama theme planning and approval.
There is a premise for this. The subject of the project must hold a "Radio and Television Program Production and Operation License" or belong to a film production organization holding a "Film Production License", or be a television station (including radio and television) at or above the prefectural and municipal level (including radio and television). TV stations, radio, film and television groups).
Tianhai not only holds a "Radio and Television Program Production and Operation License", but also belongs to a film production organization that holds a "Film Production License". In other words, when it comes to all aspects of the entertainment industry, Tianhai's certificates are complete. This was the place that Wang Xuan valued most in Tianhai.
On the surface, Tianhai is half-ruined, and all departments are empty. But Tianhai has everything that should be there. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. And if Wang Xuan gets these things by himself, he doesn't even know that it will take him years and years to get them.
Zhu Xu took the materials prepared by Wang Xuan and went to the Shanghai Radio and Film Bureau to file. After the project is filed, normally it takes 20 working days for review, so after submitting the filing, Zhu Xu returned to the company. Unexpectedly, 5 days later, the Radio, Film and Television Bureau of Shanghai Municipality informed Zhu Xu that the project registration for the TV series "Beginning Together" had been approved, which surprised Zhu Xu.
"What's going on? Doesn't the TV drama project registration need 20 days of review? Even if you apply for expedited application, it will take at least 15 days to get the result. When have you ever seen the result in 5 days?" Zhu Xu was really dumbfounded.
Little does he know that although "Ode to the Motherland" has been selected as China's second national anthem, it has not yet been announced, but it is now a certainty. Its songwriter Wang Xuan is now very famous in the Ministry of Culture.
The head of the Ministry of Culture has specifically told his agencies that if Wang Xuan is involved, they must attach great importance to it and give Wang Xuan the green light as much as possible without violating the principles.
The Radio, Film and Television Bureau, as an agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture, saw that Tianhai had sent a TV series script for filing, and saw Wang Xuan's name in the column for screenwriters. The Radio, Film and Television Bureau of the Magic City did not dare to neglect it, and started cross-examination on the same day. 5 The review will be completed in about days.
When he learned that the registration of the TV series had been approved, Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed the reason. It was probably his golden body that worked. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for a TV series to be filed and reviewed within 15 to 20 days.
After the registration is approved, the next step is the crew preparation.
Of course, if it is an ordinary film production company, it may have to raise investment. But Tianhai doesn't need it. This is a low-cost TV series. The shooting cost is only tens of millions. Wang Xuan can get this money himself, and he knows that this TV series will definitely be a big hit. How can he let it happen? Foreign capital comes in to get a piece of the pie.
The preparation of the crew is a meticulous and complicated process. As a director, Wang Xuan needs to consider many issues, such as lens language, determining lighting and scenery, and even props.
But these are also the simplest for Wang Xuan. What lens language, lighting, scenery, and props are needed for "Staying Together" have long been in Wang Xuan's mind.
Damn it, he is so invincible.
The only thing Wang Xuan needs to consider is the staffing of the crew. Which photographer, set designer, lighting engineer, makeup artist, costume designer, and art director should be used? These are all things that need to be considered.
After the registration of the TV series "Welcome to School Together" was approved, Tianhai and other crew-related staff were all ready to join the crew of "Welcome to School Together".
But Wang Xuan can't ask for so many people.
For the sake of fairness, Wang Xuan specially formulated a question to investigate the relevant personnel.
For example, when inspecting the lighting engineers, Wang Xuan would take a certain fragment from the script of "Together" and tell the lighting engineers what kind of lighting effects he wanted, allowing them to use their imagination. The three lighting engineers with the highest degree of completion can join the crew of "Stay Together".
Similarly, when inspecting the set designers, Wang Xuan also took a certain fragment from the script of "Going Together" and told the set designers what effect he wanted to achieve, allowing them to use their imagination to achieve the highest degree of completeness. Three set designers remained.
When inspecting the photography, Wang Xuan directly took the photographers out to the main shooting location to take the scenery, and shot a certain segment in the script in separate shots. The three photographers who shot the best shots stayed behind.
By analogy, it took a few days for the crew of "Welcome to School Together" to finally be staffed.
The only thing missing from the crew preparation is casting.
Different from ordinary youth campus dramas, "Welcome to School Together" is an ensemble drama. It is said that there are only three protagonists, but there are as many as nine main actors. Each character has a distinct personality. These nine actors need Sufficient acting skills, otherwise the audience will be entertained every minute.
To this end, Tianhai held a special press conference to announce the preparations for the filming of "Welcome to the Window Together". The relevant filings have been approved and the casting is now entering the casting stage. Open casting will be conducted at the Shanghai Academy of Drama and the Yanjing Film Academy.
As soon as this press conference came out, it was like throwing a big stone on a calm lake, causing waves.
"66666, so Wang Xuan really created a youth campus drama?"
"I thought the pigeon spirit let our pigeons go again."
"I remember that the youth campus drama that Huayi is going to shoot seems to have just finished casting, right? So will the youth campus drama that Wang Xuan is going to shoot have a collision with Huayi?"
"It's possible! I think Wang Xuan went to Hua Yi."
"How dare he? Huayi has invited several popular stars to star in this campus drama, and I heard that there is also an Oppa. Isn't Wang Xuan afraid that the youth campus drama will be slapped by Huayi?"
"Whatever, I just want to watch a good show."
"Yes, it's not a big deal to watch the fun."
"I believe in Wang Xuan anyway. There is no one in this world who can defeat Wang Xuan."
"Wang Xuan YYDS, no explanation."
...
"Wang Xuan YYDS? Humph!" Cheng Kun snorted coldly.
If we compare it to composing lyrics and music, Cheng Kun is really afraid of Wang Xuan's three points, but compared to movies and TV series, Huayi can hang up Tianhai and beat him. In terms of film and television dramas, even Tian Hai, who was at his peak, could be lifted up and beaten by Huayi, let alone now.
"Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you rush into it, then you can't blame me." Cheng Kun sneered.
Huayi accounts for half of the country's theater chains. If Tianhai was making movies, it would be enough for Tianhai to suffer if Huayi jammed Tianhai's neck in the theater chain. The TV series will be slightly better, but not much better. Huayi also holds more than half of the top ten online video platforms in China. If Tianhai gets stuck in this regard, it will still make Tianhai uncomfortable for a long time.
In terms of TV series, the only place where Huayi can't get in the way of Tianhai is probably the TV station, and the TV station is the main broadcaster and has the largest audience. But it’s okay, the TV series shot by Tianhai can be broadcast on TV stations, and so can Huayi’s.
When the time comes, let the youth school drama shot by Huayi and the youth school drama shot by Tianhai be released on the TV station at the same time, which will be enough for Tianhai to drink a pot. He would like to see how the youth campus drama filmed by Tianhai compares with Huayi's star-studded youth campus drama.
"Wang Xuan YYDS? Haha, see how I will defeat the gods in your hearts when the time comes!"
...
Wang Xuan naturally didn't know that Cheng Kun wanted to beat him up. If he knew, Wang Xuan would probably die laughing.
There is no TV series that can beat "Together". In another time and space, "Eighteen Years Old Sky" can compete with "Together", and the others are younger brothers.
Wang Xuanke has not been idle during this period. He handed the script to Zhu Xu for filing on the 7th, and then asked Li Tao to inform Du Chengfei to go to the recording studio to record songs for Du Chengfei's single to be released next month, as well as other songs for the album Du Chengfei was preparing.
As for Zhang Yaxin, she can’t take care of both.
After the registration was approved, he was busy preparing the crew. After preparing the crew, casting began.
On the 20th, the TV series "Stay Together" began its public casting. The first stop will be at the Shanghai Academy of Drama, the second stop will be at the Yanjing Film Academy, and the third stop will be at the Yanjing Conservatory of Music.
In fact, there were only two sites originally planned, but after the press conference, Wang Xuan immediately received a call from Li Rulan.
Li Rulan denounced Wang Xuan on the phone. In Li Rulan's words: "Wang Xuan, don't forget that you are still the official professor of our Yanjing Conservatory of Music. But in the end, the Yenching Conservatory of Music did not have a role in the casting of the TV series. What does that mean? ? Do you look down on the performance department of our Yanjing Conservatory of Music?"
Wang Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, so he had to add Yanjing Conservatory of Music on the casting site.
Having said that, on the 20th, the casting scene set up by Tianhai at the Shanghai Academy of Drama was packed with people, and many people signed up to audition for "Welcome to School Together."
Of course, it is impossible to sign up on the spot.
In order to save time, after the press conference, Tianhai listed the characteristics of the nine main characters in "Born Together" for the auditioners to choose which role to audition for.
Moreover, not everyone who registers for the audition can pass the registration. Tianhai will screen and only those who meet the conditions can pass the registration and then audition.
The audition process is simple. The auditioner will get a certain line of the character they are auditioning for, and then read it in front of the interviewer to show their skills in this area, and then perform a certain segment of the script for the character they are auditioning for. .
For example, the audition candidates for Xiao Haiyang, who has poor grades but is very loyal, were asked to perform a scene where Xiao Haiyang tearfully wished his ex a happy wedding at the wedding.
This clip has high requirements for the auditioners, and it is also the most touching clip among all the scenes of Xiao Haiyang. Especially the audition scene cannot be turned into a wedding scene. At most, it can be a simple decoration. And the person who auditions is not facing his ex, but a person who is temporarily brought in to play with him. There is no basis for any relationship between the two parties.
This is a bit embarrassing.
But what Wang Xuan wants is to keep improving.
In fact, after passing the audition, if you want to play the nine important roles in this drama, you have to sign a contract with Tianhai. The contract you sign is not a filming contract, but an artist contract.
Because "Welcome to School Together" will be filmed for at least three seasons. After three seasons, it will be enough to make these nine people famous. Wang Xuan doesn't want to lose money by publishing a script, paying for it, and making others popular only to have them sign contracts with other entertainment companies.
Since he has to sign an artist contract, Wang Xuan naturally wants people with good acting skills, so the scenes he chooses for the auditionees are all famous scenes in each role.
This is true for Xiao Haiyang's clip, the same is true for Ren Yifan's clip, and the same is true for Lin Luoxue's clip.
The auditionees for Ren Yifan and Lin Luoxue actually auditioned at the same time. They acted directly together and performed "a scene of the showdown between the two Aqua Kings, Ren Yifan in his prime and Lin Luoxue in his prime."
This is definitely a famous scene among famous scenes. Fortunately, the casting site added Yanjing Conservatory of Music. The other eight roles had been finalized at the Shanghai Academy of Drama and the Yanjing Film Academy, but the actor who played Lin Luoxue was not finalized until the casting session at the Yanjing Conservatory of Music.
In fact, among the nine roles, Lin Luoxue actually has the highest requirements. Because this character is really complex. She looked like a bitch at the beginning, like green tea, but later she made countless people feel distressed to death, and she was also one of the most popular characters.
