Chapter 1229

At the opening ceremony, Xiao Yao was the biggest star, but he was not the only one. Not all the media reporters gathered around Xiao Yao to interview. When some slow-moving reporters saw Xiao Yao surrounded by reporters, some went to interview other people.

heard what Xiao Yao said, and those reporters who were interviewed by Xiao Yao's side looked at the location of director Chen Jun. They found that someone else was interviewed by Chen Jun. He did not rush to leave for Chen Jun, or asked Xiao Yao, "why is the director has the final say? Producers also have a lot of say in the choice of actors, especially in TV series. Many producers have more power in the choice of actors than directors. Can't you make a decision whether you are the producer, producer or editor in chief

"As a producer and producer, I have the right to speak on the choice of actors, but I decided not to use that right." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I choose to listen to the director! In this production group, the director has the most power. I only give advice, not make the final decision! "

"Why?" A reporter asked.

"In this way, if the public praise of the future TV series is not good and the audience scolds me, I can find the director to carry the pot!" Xiao Yaodao.

“…” A group of reporters were speechless.

"There are many reasons for the bad reputation of film and television works," a reporter suddenly said, "what if in the future the audience says the plot is bad and scolds the screenwriter? Can you put the pot on the director's head, too? "

"If the plot is not good enough to be scolded, it's really mainly my playwright's pot, but the director should not escape, and the audience will scold him for taking all the bad books, right?" Xiao Yao said, "the director has the right to modify the lines and other details temporarily during shooting. Generally speaking, there is no way to change the direction of the plot. However, before taking over the guide tube of the play, director Chen first read the script and discussed it with the writing team. If the script is not good, he will accept it. It only shows that he has a bad eye. It's not an injustice for him to be scolded with me! "

"Ha ~" the reporters were amused by Xiao Yao's idea that it sounded like some rogue. After laughing for a while, another reporter asked, "if the audience says you or Yin Xi are not good in the future..."

"Ah?" Xiao Yao stares at a way.

"I'm sorry, I mean if," said the reporter after seeing Xiao Yao's stare, pausing for a moment, laughing and emphasizing, he continued, "if the audience says that you or Yin Xi are not performing well in the future, is it the director's pot? As you said just now, you and Yin Xi are not selected by director Chen to play the leading role. "

"It's the director's pot, of course!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "director Chen knew that Yin Xi and I played the leading roles before taking over the play. He is willing to take the lead in this play, which means that he recognizes our acting skills. In the crew, the director is the one who shouts "Ka" and "Guo". If the actor's performance is not good, the director can't get rid of it. So if Yin Xi or I don't perform well in this play, director Chen must also be responsible! "

"But it's a TV play, not a movie! Does the director have so much power in the crew? " The reporter also said, "we've heard that the director is blamed for the actor's bad performance in movies, but it seems that it's rare for the director to be blamed for the actor's bad performance in TV dramas?"

"I don't care about other groups," Xiao Yao interrupted, waving his hand. "But in our group, the director has the same absolute authority as the film director. I'm a producer and producer. If I listen to the director, then everyone must listen to the director. Any shot, even if repeated dozens, must be shot to the satisfaction of the director. If the director doesn't say it's over, the crew can't. no one, including Yin Xi and I, can play a big role in the crew! "

"In fact, it's not just the actors," Xiao added. "In terms of preparatory work, the director's participation is also very high. Although it's not personal, no matter in front of or behind the scenes, any staff will sign up for the crew only after being approved by the director. The people in front of and behind the scenes are all chosen by you or you agree to choose them. You said that you can live every scene. If this kind of play is still not good, then it's OK for you to carry the pot, isn't it? "

A group of reporters were surprised again. A reporter asked, "do you give the director so much power? Do you want to make TV series as movies? "

"That's true!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "the purpose of our company is to make TV series as movies!"

"Really?" The faces of the reporters were a little surprised and excited.

"What do you mean by the purpose of the company?" A reporter asked, "so you're not talking about this play, but about the young people who will make every play as a movie?"

"As long as it is our leading project, we will do it as much as possible!" Xiao Yao nodded again.

"But TV series and movies are different after all." The reporter then asked, "what are the specific operations? Can you be specific? "

"I won't elaborate on that," Xiao Yao shook his head. "Let the audience see it when it comes out."

The rules set by Xiao Yao at the company's annual meeting are just internal rules of the company, and he didn't take the initiative to disclose them to the media. At this time, Xiao Yao only revealed some of the company's rules when he said something in an interview, but he still didn't intend to take the opportunity to disclose the company's rules to the media.The opening ceremony was not the opening press conference, and the main creators were not sitting on the rostrum, but walking around, so the reporters' interviews were more free than the press conference.

Xiao Yao seldom gives interviews, but as long as he gives interviews, his attitude is basically very good. This opening ceremony is a rare opportunity to interview Xiao Yao, but no matter how rare the opportunity is, the reporters' problems are limited. Xiao Yao was not the only interviewee at the opening ceremony, so after a period of time, the reporters gradually dispersed to find other interviewees.

On the day of the opening ceremony, the crew did not arrange the shooting task. Instead, they took advantage of the opportunity that all the main members of the crew were present to arrange a opening meal for the crew, so that the members of the crew could get in touch with each other. The opening ceremony is in the morning, and the opening meal is naturally arranged at noon.

Xiao Yao put the interview time after the process of burning incense, worshiping gods and uncovering the camera red cloth. In fact, he also put the interview process after the opening ceremony. Strictly speaking, the start-up ceremony has been completed, so there is no formal step to complete the start-up ceremony. Seeing that it was almost noon, Xiao Yao asked a staff member with a hand-held horn to shout, and the interview ended with the opening ceremony.

Next, the crew went to dinner together.

Since the meal is arranged in advance, the restaurant is also ordered in advance. Due to the large number of the crew, the logistics of the crew directly included a banquet hall in a hotel, so as to avoid being disturbed by others.

There are a large number of crew members, no outsiders to disturb, and no filming in the afternoon, so there are not only wine, but also many people to drink a lot, and the atmosphere is quite lively.

After the start-up meal, the crew had a holiday in the afternoon, waiting for the next day's official shooting.

Although the shooting place of the play is in Shencheng, after the opening ceremony, even if the cast starts, Xiao Yao is officially in the group. So after dinner, Xiao Yao didn't go back to his residence. Instead, he stayed in the hotel ordered by the crew like others.

In terms of fame, Xiao Yao is undoubtedly the biggest star in the cast. In terms of identity, Xiao Yao is the investor, producer, screenwriter and part-time actor of the project. Even if he listens to the director for everything he says, he is still the most powerful person in the cast. Therefore, at the start-up dinner, Xiao Yao was toast by almost everyone in the cast, and he really drank a lot.

However, due to the afternoon crew holiday, there is a rest time of one afternoon and one night to recover, which has no impact on Xiao Yao. The next morning, Xiao Yao got up early as usual.

After dressing and washing, Xiao Yao went out in high spirits.

When Xiao Yao went out, it was about six o'clock. At this time, the hotel seems very quiet. Not only other ordinary residents rarely get up, but also members of the cast are basically sleeping.

It's not that the crew drank too much yesterday, but it's still early to start work.

Filming is really a hard work. Many actors talk about filming without day or night. But not every movie, every day's shooting is so hard.

Different from many production groups that need to rush to work and shoot in groups, this production group is not divided into group A and group B, but only one group. The TV series is expected to be about 30 episodes, which is not particularly long. The expected shooting period is about three months, which is not particularly long, but not short. Generally speaking, the shooting time is relatively loose. So at least in the beginning, there is no need for the crew to rush.

According to the announcement issued by the crew yesterday, today's shooting started at 9 am. It's only about six o'clock now, and it's about three hours before shooting. Moreover, it's a modern urban drama, not an ancient costume drama, and there's no difficult action drama. The actors don't need to wear wigs and headgear. The make-up and clothes are relatively simple, and there's no need to hang Weiya and other equipment. Neither the actors nor the staff behind the scenes need to get up too early get ready. The reason why Xiao Yao gets up so early is entirely a personal habit, because he wants to get up early for exercise.

When filming with Qianjin group, Xiao Yao would also exercise early if he didn't need to shoot the early show. If the living conditions are good, Xiao Yao is mostly in the gym of the hotel. If the shooting place is remote and the living conditions are poor, Xiao Yao will go out for a run and then find a place where no one can exercise. But this time, instead of going to the hotel gym or running outdoors, Xiao Yao went cycling instead.

In this play, Xiao Yao plays the role of a young man in the entrepreneurial period. Although the office is also located in the CBD commercial building, but it is very character, riding a bicycle to and from work every day. Even the first time the hero and heroine meet each other is when the man and the woman ride a bike.

After graduating from high school, Xiao Yao hardly rode a bicycle. Playing such a role this time, Xiao Yao changed the first item of morning exercise to riding a bicycle, and looked for the feeling of riding a bicycle by the way.

Since it's a bike ride, it can't be in the hotel, but on the street. Nowadays, there are many cyclists in the city who are equipped with helmets and sunglasses. Xiao Yao also wears helmets and sunglasses when he goes out. Riding on the street is not too conspicuous and is unlikely to be recognized.When Xiao Yao was in junior high school, Ye Jiaying paid a lot of money to customize a mountain bike as a birthday gift for Xiao Yao. Considering that Xiao Yao was in his adolescence at that time and grew very fast, the seat height of the car and other places could be adjusted. The quality of that car is very good. Except for the year when he went to the United States as an exchange student, Xiao Yao spent almost five years in high school riding that car to and from school.

That car was a birthday gift from Ye Jiaying. Xiao Yao took great care of it and did a good job in daily maintenance. Even if he didn't ride much after he went to university, Xiao Yao brought it to Shencheng, and he would regularly maintain the car himself or find someone to do it. Now he can still ride it.

But this time, Xiao Yao didn't bring his car. On the one hand, the appearance of the car is too cool. Both the director and Xiao Yao feel that the car is not suitable for the role in the play. On the other hand, the car is customized from abroad, and the brand of the car is not the sponsor or advertiser of the show.

As a modern urban drama, it is natural to have implanted advertisements, advertisers and sponsors. However, compared with the fact that some ancient costume dramas have begun to play ad placement madly, the placement ads of this modern urban drama can be said to be very conscientious.

Xiao Yao is not the kind of person who needs to look for investment everywhere to start a project. If it is an ancient costume drama, Xiao Yao will not allow the emergence of modern brands or products, even varieties. In Xiao Yao's opinion, those things are too influential to the viewing experience.

If it's a modern drama, Xiao Yao doesn't object to sponsorship and placement of ads. after all, the people in the drama use those things, and they can help the crew increase their income, but only if they don't affect the plot and the audience's viewing experience.

There is absolutely no such thing as giving a product or brand logo shot or even close-up shot without any reason, or putting a pile of drinks on the dining table or coffee table at home, which is obviously not in line with the family environment. Even in other plays, no matter what income class people are, they use the same brand of mobile phones, computers and other electronic products. This kind of thing is not allowed by Xiao Yao.

In Xiao Yao's opinion, it's unthinkable that the computer you are equipped with is of the same brand when you cross the group and start a small company on your own.

Many brand sponsorship and placement ads will require monopoly, that is, the same kind of goods in the whole play must be the goods of the brand, but Xiao Yao would rather not get the sponsorship of a big brand, and never allow unreasonable things in props.

Of course, in this way, the revenue from sponsorship and advertising will be much less, but Xiao Yao doesn't care.

Most of the male protagonists in the play are still driving, and there are not many scenes of cycling. The most important thing is that when the male and female protagonists meet for the first time, the male protagonist rides a bicycle, which is an important prop. Although there were not many scenes, the crew found a sponsor for the bicycle.

The sponsor is a big bicycle brand in China, which can also be regarded as rich and powerful. However, because there is no close-up of the brand in the play, and even the whole picture of the bicycle is not fully displayed, the sponsorship conditions given are not high. In addition to the sponsorship fee, which is not much relative to the level of the project, it provides the crew with a bicycle for shooting.
