Everyone has their own agenda

"The man named Xu wants to treat us to dinner."

In a house that looks like a conference room, a man wearing sunglasses crossed his legs and said to the person next to him.

This person is none other than Wang Tingchao, the director of "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair".

Unlike the original director Bai Fatty, Wang Tingchao has directed many film and television dramas. He has filmed three TV dramas within Tengying. Before that, he had six medium- and high-investment film and television dramas, not counting those with small investments.

.

He is considered one of the most senior directors in Tengying. Those who are more senior than him are either in established entertainment companies or have their own studios.

Wang Tingchao is his stage name. His real name was Wang Tingchao. Later, he felt that there was no artistic flavor, so he changed Tingchao to Tingchao.

Of course, changing his name did not bring about any changes in his career. This guy is in his 40s. It is fair to say that he has no masterpieces. All nine of his works were star-studded and were shown on TV stations.

In terms of masterpieces, the TV series he has filmed are not highly rated. He has not even been nominated for half of the three important domestic TV awards.

He is now somewhat of a blue-collar player in the top league of League of Legends. If you say his skills are not good, then he must be much better than a casual player. If you say he is good, he doesn't have any eye-catching moves.

Logically speaking, what a person like Wang Tingchao lacks is a high-scoring masterpiece to elevate his status.

He knew it himself, so he sold himself to Tengying, hoping to get some good projects with the help of Tengying, a big dog.

But I wasted a few years in Tengying, and the TV series I filmed were more awkward than the last.

Moreover, he found the scripts for two of these three dramas himself, and Tengying gave him enough respect and freedom.

He thought the script he was looking for was great and would definitely win ratings and awards, but the result was completely different from what he expected.

After doing this twice, he almost went crazy. He originally thought that his skills and vision were already at their peak. What was missing was the opportunity to freely control projects. Now that he has controlled three projects, he suddenly found that the market is too deep now.

A little unsure.

At this time, he began to doubt himself. He was already depressed, but now he was suddenly named by Wu Gufeng and thrown into such a small crew. He felt that he had been abandoned by Wu Gufeng. Under the dual influence of self-abandonment and others' abandonment, he unconsciously

It's starting to get messy.

"The start-up ceremony will be held tomorrow. It stands to reason that if there is food, we can eat it tomorrow. Let us have whatever food we want to eat today." said a man wearing a hat next to him. He is the boss of the film crew and the chief photographer of the crew.

"I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet. It may be because our progress is not fast enough, so we are here to investigate." Wang Tingchao stretched his waist and said.

"Director, be more confident and eliminate the possibility. That girl named Jessica looks at us every day as if we owe her money." Another man said with a smile, this was the assistant director.

"It's not wrong to use that expression. She is Xu Qing's representative. Isn't it just their money that we spend?" Wang Tingchao said mockingly.

"Hahaha, maybe we will be deported tonight?" the assistant director laughed.

"Drive it away, it will be good for everyone." Wang Tingchao shook his head indifferently.

"Director, why don't we finish it early? Xu Qing has done two dramas before and the reviews are pretty good. It feels a bit inappropriate to drag him around like this." At this time, a man lowered his head and whispered.

"What's going on? The producer is here. You, the drama manager, have a backbone, right?" Before Wang Tingchao could say anything, the assistant director next to him immediately sarcastically said.

The man who just lowered his head to speak is the stage manager. The main job of the stage manager is to ensure the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the crew. The stage director is directly under the supervision of the producer.

A production team generally has several departments: production team, director team, camera team, recording team, art team and drama team. In addition to the production team, this drama team is the only one that can completely ignore the director. The other departments are all

Working under the arrangement of the chief director, there is some consideration.

That's what I say, but after all, the director's status in the crew is different, and a stage director would not dare to offend the director.

"That's not what I meant. This drama only has 20 episodes. It would be better if we finish it early."

"What do you know? If we don't postpone the investment and increase the budget for this ruined drama, we will be embarrassed even if we tell the story." the assistant director said disdainfully.

After finishing speaking, before anyone else could reply, he continued: "To be honest, having such a bad record on our resume will really affect our future careers. When we raise investments in the future, investors will see that we are so small.

If all the projects are accepted, what will you think? Doesn’t this mean that no one wants us?”

"However, the investment in Xu Qing's first two dramas was not large, but the profits were considerable, and the market evaluation was also good. I think Xu Qing is good at using small things to make big things happen. If we film this drama well, it will have a positive impact.

." The drama director's voice was still very low, but in terms of content, he still made his position clear.

"What the hell, what kind of script did he write before? What kind of script is he writing now? Are urban dramas and costume dramas the same thing? I wonder if your kid has been influenced by those idiots in the art team. Why are you talking like this today?

Do you take our director seriously?" the assistant director scolded directly.

"I'm not influenced by anyone, I'm just talking about things. It's Mr. Wu's wish that we accept this drama, and we didn't take it on his own initiative. The other investors can't say anything." The drama director was also scolded like this.

A little annoyed.

"Pfft, how old are you? Do you have any brains? The biggest problem is that Mr. Wu asked us to take on this drama. I don't believe you can't guess what Mr. Wu means. Can't you tell?

To be honest, maybe after filming this crappy drama, we all have to get out of Tengying, and we will have to follow the director’s lead and find investment on our own. When we are looking for investment, it is really dazzling to have such a crappy drama on our resume, Xu Qing

Unless the investment is raised to more than 100 million, this drama will not be filmed, the director said." the assistant director laughed.

"Shut up, don't blame me for what you said. I didn't mean that. I just think that the ancient puppet show doesn't have popular celebrities to support it, so it needs to be polished and sharpened to keep up with the work of chopping wood." Wang Tingchao said in disgust.

He glanced at the assistant director.

This guy sounds like he is speaking for himself, but in fact he hates himself to death. Damn, if this word gets out, will he still be able to hang out in the circle in the future?

It seems that this bitch also thinks that he has been abandoned by Wu Gufeng, and he wants to take his own position. It's a beautiful thought. He doesn't care about what kind of thing he is. He also wants to take my position. Just daydream about your mother's blue sky.

.

The chief photographer watched these people arguing and said nothing, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the crew is bigger, they would fight more fiercely than anyone else.

He had collaborated with Wang Tingchao many times and was Wang Tingchao's official photographer. Originally, he thought Wang Tingchao was a director with dreams and ambitions.

Now it seems that he only feels that Wang Tingchao, the grandson of Wang Tingchao, is really unlucky. Not only did he show off in his prime, but he can still be treated like this by an assistant director in front of his face. This was impossible before. He is really

It's almost over.

The bickering in the conference room is still going on, but Xu Qing doesn't know that he is wandering around the set at this time, communicating with the leading actors, asking about his understanding of the characters, and if he encounters anything that feels wrong.

Here's a place to make some comments.

After communicating with the lead actor, he went to the art team to meet his "fans".

The word "fan" is not nonsense. The makeup of the characters in this drama was done by Xu Qing. After the makeup was done, the group of makeup artists in the art team were astonished. This is the power of the makeup master. As long as the master is a master, no matter what he is,

Masters in the industry are considered to be extremely talented in the eyes of their peers. Those who are savvy can learn a lot on the spot.

In addition to the makeup artist, the costume and jewelry staff were also very surprised by the sketches designed by Xu Qing. Xu Qing's design is very beautiful, much better than similar dramas.

Speaking of which, the styles of today's ancient dolls are really unsightly. Not only do they lack classical beauty, but their clothes are all the same and "plain". I don't know if it's because they are really not good at design, or because they simply don't have the funds.

Nowadays, all the good-looking costumes in ancient costumes are in historical dramas. This is simply a subversion.

Because generally speaking, historical dramas pursue a sense of historical relevance.

What idol dramas pursue is beauty, so, logically speaking, the styling of idol dramas must be better-looking than that of historical dramas.

In terms of drama types, whether it is a modern idol drama or a costume idol drama, the first priority is to look good. It is not acceptable for the actors to be ugly, and it is even more unacceptable for the actors to be ugly.

If a person is not good-looking, he can use makeup to make up for it. If his makeup is not good enough, a good-looking actor can turn into something ugly.

It's okay now. The level of makeup production in idol dramas has collectively declined. From an aesthetic point of view, it's not as good as historical dramas. This is a shitty idol drama.

If it's not good-looking, can it be called an idol drama? The selling point of the idol drama itself is sexual tension and the audience's fantasy of the characters. If it's not good-looking, who fantasizes about you, where does the sexual tension come from?

After chatting with this group of people, Xu Qing did not continue to wander around the set. Instead, he returned to the hotel and called Yuan Huhu over. The two began to think about how to give this group of people a blow tonight.
