Chapter 210 Everything Remains the Same, Let’s Play a Big One (Ask for Monthly Tickets)
The next day.
Lao Zhao, the producer of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", took the lead in finding Lin Xing. He smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, this time I want to thank you on behalf of Hua Hai, and on behalf of the entire crew."
"Mr. Zhao, you are so polite. In fact, it just happened to happen. Besides, I am also a member of the crew. I also wish our crew well..."
Lin Xing said with a slight humility: "What's more, this matter can be accomplished thanks to the cooperation of Director Dong, Liang Yi, Sister Fei, An An and others. They are willing to sacrifice their own time to do this matter. They should be thanked most." ”
Looking at Lin Xing, Old Zhao truly admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Xiu said that Lin Xing was only 32 years old, just like when Mu Zihuan suddenly became famous at the age of 40, he suddenly started playing cards.
Back when Mu Zihuan was not a top player, Mu Zihuan was quite polite to everyone, even quite respectful, and very polite. He also called Lao Zhao "Brother Zhao".
Later, as Mu Zihuan became more and more popular, his old brother Zhao Xiu said that Mu Zihuan called him Brother Zhao, and even directly changed into Xiao Zhao.
When you become famous overnight, or become famous overnight, how can it be so easy to keep your original intention? ? ?
But this Lin Xing was always polite to everyone. When he was on the set, even a minor actor, a stage manager, or even a staff member of the props team, this Lin Xing had never treated anyone like him. condescending.
Even during the break in filming "For Whom the Bell Tolls", when Liang Yi, Wei Fei, An Yifeng, and even Ren Shuai, Wu Qifeng and others went to rest in their RV, Lin Xing also helped the crew to help.
It was fun for him to help.
He blended in so naturally, and others didn't even recognize him. He just chatted, chatted, and helped in various departments.
At that time, some staff members felt that Lin Xing looked a lot like Lin Xing. Was he Lin Xing's stand-in? ?
At first, when Lao Zhao was chatting with Dong Deng, he felt that Lin Xing was pretending, or even just to promote himself.
In the end, Dong Deng shook his head and said: "What are you pretending to do? Have you seen any performances without a camera? It's not like you don't know about the current publicity?? Basically, the crew filmed how the actors acted, but Have you seen Lin Xing let us take photos?”
These words made Lao Zhao slightly stunned.
He just thought that many things were normal, but he forgot that Lin Xing didn't do this at all.
Not to mention that Dong Deng added: "When Lin Xing was on the set of "Sweeping Out", he even did the work of bricklaying in the props team. On the set of "Portrait of a Murderer", I heard Wei Fei say that Lin Xing He is almost considered a performance director, and he often discusses scenes with everyone. If he is really pretending, then he is just like the actor Wang Ruoan. Who would say he is pretending now?
Again, if you can pretend to be an actor all your life, then you will have both virtue and art.
Because of this, Lao Zhao changed his mind a little more about Lin Xing.
There is a way in which what the ears hear is false and what the eyes see is true.
This Lin Xing is even more exaggerated than rumored.
Just like when we were filming action scenes before, who would have thought that Lin Xing would actually be in it? Where can there be movies where popular actors are filming with live ammunition now? ?
Especially Lin Xing made thorough preparations before filming this action scene.
Let alone popular actors, Lin Xing is far ahead of other actors.
After all, many of today's drama actors have also started water skiing, and most of them don't even have a little bit of talent in terms of professionalism.
how to say? ?
Now the entire entertainment industry is a process of bad money driving out good money. Most of them go hand in hand, and whoever is dedicated first is the dog.
It is precisely because of this that people like Zu Ming, Liu Zhou, Dong Deng, and even Luo Jun, the director of "The King of Powers" are rare. They have always insisted on what a director should do.
The director, in addition to directing the play, also instructs the actors on how to perform. It is easy to say but very difficult to control the entire crew.
After all, many directors in today's market are just decorations. Some directors don't even mention directing actors. They are almost becoming the grandsons of actors.
In the past two days, a group of screenwriters and directors have formed a group one by one to denounce the hit drama "The Road" for being disrespectful to the screenwriters and directors, especially the heroine Xie Nianwei's random changes to the script, the crew kicking people, etc.
All in all, it was quite a fuss.
You must know that Xie Nianwei belongs to the peak of 85 Flowers, but now she is not even as influential as An Yifeng, and she can only film online dramas now.
Even so, Xie Nianwei still played a big role.
This can only mean one thing, some people are not popular because of their own fault.
A lot of the time it’s all about comparison.
Zhao was actually a little worried when the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" started. As a producer, he really needed to coordinate all aspects, and he also had to worry about whether some actors would play big names.
After all, in this industry, it would be abnormal for an actor not to be a big name.
Like Lin Xing, not only did he not pretend to be a big name, he didn't even act like a big name, and he even helped the crew with a completely down-to-earth attitude.
This was completely beyond expectation.
Not to mention this time.
Originally, the shutdown of the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" crew was inevitable, and even Huahai Film and Television had no way to do it for the time being.
What's more, the crew's one-day expenses are too high, and it is impossible for Huahai Film and Television to come up with this money.
Besides, in the eyes of capital, the earth will continue to rotate without anyone, and no one in the crew is necessary. Why are many screenwriters always ignored?
Or to put it another way, why are many creators always ignored?
Isn't it because capital thinks they are not needed? They can decide what disgusting drama you watch, and they can even support a few ugly people to make you pay, so that even if you are annoyed by them, they will put them on the homepage every day.
For Huahai Film and Television, what they need to ensure is the maximization of profits.
It's okay if the crew stops working.
It's okay if the crew disbands.
It's nothing more than reshooting when the time comes.
But as a producer, Lao Zhao knows what kind of impact the crew's suspension will have, especially now that the good chemistry of the crew may be destroyed.
So Lin Xing is willing to work with the crew to make another work, whether it is a game or something else, anyway, it is enough to keep the crew running normally.
After chatting for a few sentences, Lao Zhao also said frankly: "Teacher Lin, I asked someone to promote it yesterday, mainly to tell everyone that although our crew has stopped working, it will not stop working..."
Lin Xing expressed his understanding: "Mr. Zhao, in fact, you will continue to be the producer of this crew in the future."
Lao Zhao: "???"
"Everything remains the same."
Lin Xing smiled and said: "I said before that our crew is operating normally, so how can we do without you? You are still responsible for many things."
This is what Lin Xing thought of last night.
Since all the crew members are used, no one in the crew can be missing.
Oh.
That's not right.
Then Ling Mei is not needed.
Except Ling Mei, everyone else can be used.
There is a saying that everyone has their own expertise. It is okay for you to let Lin Xing be responsible for the script, but if you let him be responsible for the operation of the entire crew, Lin Xing really doesn't have the skills.
After listening to Lin Xing's explanation, Lao Zhao also laughed: "Okay, no problem."
Half an hour later, in the conference room
Lin Xing handed the script to everyone one by one.
This script only has the first three episodes, but these three episodes have countless choices.
"Everyone take a look first. After all, the script I wrote overnight is not very mature..."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "And I'm not a professional screenwriter. Many of the things I wrote are just passing by."
This Lin Xing is really not modest. Although he has also been a screenwriter over the years, there is still a certain gap compared to professionals.
But how to say it? ?
Lin Xing doesn't care much about professional terms. He only cares about the completeness of the story and whether it is easy to understand, so that the audience, or the players, can feel involved.
That's enough.
In Lin Xing's view, Lin Xing only needs to maintain the story of "Secret Lurker", and the focus is on the characterization and details.
At the same time, Lin Xing said: "This is just a main line. When shooting, we can discuss other options and see how to make it interesting. Anyway, the focus is on participation."
This first episode, or the prologue of "Secret Lurker", is Xiao Bo's return to China.
And the identity is revealed at the beginning.
Two years ago, Xiao Bo was arrested and imprisoned for being too active in the anti-Japanese war. Then he was rescued by his teacher. At the same time, he secretly became a Communist Party member and paid for his studies.
At the same time, the focus is to make Xiao Bo a gray character.
If we don’t just talk about the game choices, but the main line, this "Secret Lurker" belongs to the identity revealed at the beginning, and the plot line is pointed out through Xiao Bo’s mouth.
I, Xiao Bo, was a simple and passionate college student two years ago. Now that I have returned to China after two years, I am already a gray character on the surface.
…
In the conference room, everyone is looking at the script.
Even though Ren Shuai is quite close to Lin Xing, he is still a little unexpected.
This Lin Xing’s surprise is a bit big.
The first three episodes.
The first episode is the prologue, that is, Xiao Bo returns to China, and then he and his teacher Wu Yao play a play, which makes him bear the name of a traitor. At the same time, Xiao Tu is also completely alienated from his best friend in school, that is, Wu Mei, the daughter of Xiao Bo’s teacher.
In this episode, Xiao Bo has a new code name: Deep Sea.
At the same time, in this first episode, Xiao Bo also formally filled out the application for joining the party.
In the second episode, Xiao Bo successfully worked in the news agency, and at the same time, Xiao Bo tried every means to get into the Japanese high-level.
In this episode, Xiao Bo won the appreciation of Consul Nakano Ichiro, and even under Nakano Ichiro's temptation, Xiao Bo also gained trust, and the reason for trust was that Xiao Bo handed in a list.
Of course, in this episode, Xiao Bo also gained the trust of Nakano Ichiro's daughter Nakano Mika.
However, this episode is an episode in which Xiao Bo formally grows up, because he has seen the real cruelty.
His most admired teacher died, and he was beaten to death by his own hands.
In this lesson, Xiao Bo also really began to grow up and disguise himself, and even began to learn to smoke. At the same time, he gained the trust of Nakano Ichiro and entered Nakano Ichiro's secret agency.
...
How to say it?
The scripts of the first three episodes are very compact, with stories following one another, and the pace is so fast that it is totally incomparable to some spy war dramas nowadays.
Ren Shuai even thinks that the scripts of games are now so high-standard???
Not only Ren Shuai, but Dong Deng even felt that Xiao Bo's character had a sense of upgrade from a director's perspective.
Because he is younger first, and because he is young, he is more impulsive, or not easy to adapt.
Think about the state of Chen Xuewen played by Lin Xing in "For Whom the Bell Tolls"? ?
He is already in a high position, and he is confident of victory. He is full of charisma and is a leader from afar.
But what about Xiao Bo? ?
He was a passionate student two years ago. He didn't even have any latent experience. After returning to China, he just acted in a play with his teacher. When he was even preparing to follow his teacher to contribute to the party, the teacher died.
Moreover, the teacher held Xiao Bo's hand and fired.
Each episode is very interesting and contains a lot of information. The most important thing is that the main line is not confusing at all.
Xiao Bo.
Everything revolves around Xiao Bo.
At present, after reading the scripts of the first three episodes, Dong Deng feels that this is not a group scene. Anyway, it is a game played by Xiao Bo alone.
But think about it again.
This is originally a game script.
And if this game is shot in real-life scenes, then so much material can really be put together for a TV series.
"Axing, I don't understand games, but if we follow the scripts of the first three episodes, we will need a lot of money to shoot all the live scenes."
Dong Deng raised his head and did not talk about the script. Instead, he talked about the funding situation.
Not only Dong Deng, but also Lao Zhao, who quickly became a producer, also said: "Yes, if we film according to the requirements you said, Teacher Lin, this fund will be indispensable."
"The game is a production fund, and the live shooting is another production fund."
Liang Yi still had a certain understanding of games. He had also known that there were some interactive dramas and interactive video games abroad, and the most important thing was that these overseas ones were outdated.
“It is not easy for interactive dramas and interactive video games to succeed.”
Liang Yi said to Lin Xing: "I think this script is good, but it's hard to say whether players will buy it."
"Don't worry about funds. Xin Hui really doesn't have much other than money."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "Of course I know that there are many interactive dramas and interactive video games abroad, but there are very few in China, and since there are none, we people can try one out, and we will be the first to try it out whether it succeeds or not. people……"
"Axing is right."
Wei Fei nodded lightly and said, "Since Mr. Xin is paying the bill, we will definitely not lose money if we play."
Having said that, Wei Fei is more interested in the filming techniques of this drama.
"In the past, we filmed movies with one main line, but for this movie we can shoot it as a game and figure out our own solutions..."
Wei Fei said with a smile: "It's as if we are trying out this game first."
"Yes, I think this is quite interesting too."
Ren Shuai also said: "We can think of other options ourselves and then take pictures. This is just like what Ah Xing said, let's play the big one."
The important thing is to participate and have fun.
This is often a popular method of promotion for many people.
But for many actors who have been filming movies and TV series for many years, this is really the first time for them to do this.
