After ten days of casting, by the end of the month, the nine main characters of "Staying Together" were finally in place.
As for signing the contract with Tianhai, these nine main actors are naturally willing to do so. They are still students. Isn't the purpose of going to art school just to become an actor, have a movie, be famous, and become a star? Now there is a great opportunity to become a star before you, how could you not want to?
Moreover, Tianhai's artist contract is not too harsh. The artist's treatment increases with their fame, and the contract period is also moderate.
After the two parties completed the signing, Zhu Xu went to the Provincial Radio, Film and Television Bureau (Department) to apply for a "TV Series Production License" with the application report and related materials. The certificate was issued on April 3, and filming was officially started on April 7.
Why did the certificate come out on the 3rd and the phone was turned on on the 7th? Because April 5th is Qingming Festival, and we have to go home to worship our ancestors.
Wang Xuan did not go home, and every Qingming Festival seemed to have nothing to do with his family. Anyway, since Wang Xuan can remember, his family has never worshiped their ancestors.
Having said that, on March 24th, Wang Xuan would naturally have a routine dream. But he was a little busy at the time. He was so busy that he forgot the time and didn't know how to control his dreams. In the end, guess what he dreamed about? "Lecture Forum".
Yes, what Wang Xuan dreamed about was "Lecture Forum of Hundreds of Schools". Of course, it was impossible to dream all of it. He just dreamed of teacher Wang Liqun reading the historical record "Qin Shihuang".
Like "Yi Zhongtian Talks about the Three Kingdoms", Wang Liqun's reading of the historical record "Qin Shihuang" is definitely a masterpiece in the program "Hundred Schools of Lectures". It is step-by-step and brilliant, and the clues of history are clearly sorted out. If it comes out, it will probably cause a sensation.
Gee, it’s an unexpected surprise.
Busy days always pass quickly, and March is over.
By the end of the month, "Bubble" finally had 67 million downloads, successfully winning the last laugh and winning the first place on the March new song list. Deng Ziqing has also gained massive popularity as a result, with more than 5 million followers on Weibo, officially entering the ranks of third-tier singers.
One song creates a third-tier singer, this is "Bubble".
"The World Is So Big, I Still Met You" eventually received 62 million downloads and ranked second on the March new song list. However, because this song was sung by so many Internet celebrities, Ren Xuanran's popularity was much less than that of Deng Ziqing. Weibo followers are only 3.5 million.
Although "Lu Binghua" only ranked third on the March new song list and had only 57 million downloads, Fan Shanshan gained a lot of popularity. Her Weibo attention successfully exceeded the 12 million mark, and she officially entered the ranks of first-line singers.
The movie "Lu Binghua" has a box office of 480 million by the end of the month. This small-budget movie can be considered a big hit. Afterwards, Shen Zhe made a special phone call to express his gratitude to Wang Xuan. Because "Lu Binghua" can achieve such brilliant box office success, Wang Xuan's song "Lu Binghua" is indispensable.
Fan Shanshan also specifically expressed her gratitude to Wang Xuan, forwarded the news that Tianhai had officially started filming "Born Together", and wished success.
In the early morning of April 1, Tianhai uploaded Du Chengfei's new song "Farewell", and then the singers who participated in the April new song list cried.
"Again? What the hell!"
"This is bullying, this is a dimensionality reduction attack."
"That's right, Wang Xuan, the dignified one, doesn't want to be the king of singers or the queen of singers or a first-line singer, and instead comes to bully us scum, do you have any shame?"
"Isn't that true? I just saw that there are no singing kings or queens in April, and no top-tier singers are releasing songs before they release songs. I thought it was just rookies pecking each other, but in the end, Wang Xuan came to bully them again."
"With Wang Xuan here, even the king of singers has to kneel down. I've heard that the kings and queens of singers all have a collective 'phobia of Xuan syndrome'. They are afraid that Wang Xuan will accidentally cause a tragedy of the century."
"Wang Xuan is invincible."
"Forget it, Wang Xuan is still very particular. Only Du Chengfei has released a song this month, and only one song. At least it will give us a chance to compete for the second place in ten thousand years. If he releases three songs like last month, Then we are called crying without tears."
"So we still want to thank Wang Xuan for not killing him?"
"As much as I hate to admit it, this is actually the case."
"..."
Yes, since April is an off-season month, and next month is May, many big-name singers will choose the golden month of May to release songs, so there are not many big-name singers releasing songs in April, not one above the A-list. There are only two or three second-tier singers singing.
So "Farewell" was invincible from the beginning. It only took one day to reach the top of the new song chart. After that, it took the lead on the new song chart and dominated the list.
Of course, the reason why "Farewell" is invincible is also related to the quality of the song. It is a very invincible song in itself.
"Until my heart stops bleeding
And you shed all your tears
The sky keeps flashing with thunder
Can't light up my heart
Black black black black everything
Hopes have long been dashed
I want to say goodbye to you
parting"
In the climax, Du Chengfei's hoarse and magnetic singing voice, singing at the top of his lungs, perfectly conveyed the sadness, pain and collapse of farewell in the song, and it's unknown how many people were affected.
In front of this song, let alone the second-tier singers, even the first-tier singers are scum and cannot hold up.
.....
On April 7, "Together" was officially launched.
In another time and space, "Welcome to School Together" was filmed in Huzhou Normal University. In order to film this TV series, we even spent a week changing the name of Huzhou Normal University to Southern Communication University, but this time and space did not require it. There is indeed a Southern Communication University in China, located in Wuzhou, Zhejiang Province.
Wuzhou also has a famous film and television base, Dongyang Film and Television City.
Since we had been in contact with the school for a long time, the school was in full support of Tianhai's plan to film "Welcome to School Together" at Southern Communication University. Not only did it provide a lot of conveniences, it even helped contact students for guest appearances.
At the gate of Southern Communication University, the filming of the first scene of "Together" officially started.
Everyone on the set was on standby. Wang Xuan was sitting in the director's chair behind the monitor. Seeing that everything was ready, he nodded to the recorder.
The field recorder received the order, knocked on the slate, and exited the camera.
The show begins. The first scene was shot of Ren Yifan and Zhong Bai competing at the school gate. When the two are competing against each other, there will be a lot of extras. They have to go in and out of the school gate, playing the role of college freshmen entering the school.
Soon, Wang Xuan shouted NG: "Photography, your camera is not in place. The camera cannot always be on Zhong Bai and Ren Yifan. The confession shots of the extras must also be captured properly."
"clear!"
Remake. Wang Xuan looked at the picture on the monitor.
Ren Yifan stood at the door of the school, padding his feet boredly, looking around as if waiting for someone. At this time, Zhong Bai appeared on the stage carrying a red box, and the two began to play against each other.
Soon, Wang Xuan shouted NG again: "Stop, Ren Yifan, your expression is not right." After Zhong Bai loudly said that Lu Qiaochuan is a sex demon, a sex demon full of lust, facing the strange looks cast by passers-by, you What's his expression? It's embarrassment! Don't tell me you don't understand what embarrassment is! Try it again."
"NG!" Soon, Wang Xuan shouted to stop for the third time.
"Zhong Bai, you did a good job. In this scene, you are positioned as a tomboy, carefree, so you don't feel embarrassed at all when you speak loudly in public.
But Ren Yifan, you are a bit out of touch again.
When Zhong Bai said, 'That's what I just did, so I took a taxi here first', you echoed 'Wise' and laughed along the way. Then you realized the embarrassment and faced the passers-by who looked over. His eyes made him want to escape from here immediately. So you said seriously, 'Sorry, Zhong Bai, I forgot my phone in a restaurant, I have to go back and get it'....
When it comes to the transition and connection between smiling and serious expressions, you just couldn't do it right. You have to act more naturally and from the heart, and don't let people see any traces of acting. Understand? "Wang Xuan said.
"clear!"
"Come back if you understand!"
After NGing more than twenty times, the first scene was finally over.
After this first scene, everyone present finally realized that Wang Xuan was serious about filming, and he was also serious about being a director, with very skilled directing skills.
Scene control, camera scheduling, actor scheduling... as long as you follow Wang Xuan's instructions, the quality of the captured pictures will rise several levels.
So everyone at the scene was convinced by him. Zhu Xu and Li Tao on the side were dumbfounded.
Damn it! Brother Xuan really knows how to make movies and TV series?
Isn’t this too awesome?
