Although Gu Deyou is a movie king, he has no pretense at all. He was the first to arrive at the dinner before the start of the game. Even after seeing Silent Yan, he politely stood up to say hello.

"It's the first time we've seen each other, right?" he said with a kind smile, "I also watched your play, it's really like what it said on the Internet, and I wanted to be kidnapped by you. , I regret that I didn't audition for the victim before, it's a pity to miss the chance to play with you."

His smile is not that kind of deliberate kindness, as if he has long since learned what kind of smile can make people more favorable after a thousand trials and tribulations, and every extent is just right.

This person and Chen Hongming are completely opposite types. If Chen Hongming is here, he will definitely secretly say something in his heart, but now the person standing in front of him is silent. There are more business people, and he sees this fake smile a lot, but no one smiles as genuinely as Gu Deyou.

In order to get along better with such people, Silent Yan has long since deeply hidden those traits in himself that would be considered too indifferent. Being gentle and prudent, this is not his change, but the most suitable external mode he considers under the balance.

"I should be the one who wants to be pity. I missed the opportunity to ask the film emperor for advice." If Gu Deyou showed kindness, then Silent Yan was holding an humbly asking attitude, "This time I also hope that film emperor Gu will give more advice. ."

Both Yin An and Gu Deyou felt that these words were just polite words. There are not a few people who encounter him saying such words every day. Gu Deyou didn't take it to heart at all. Ask each other for advice, come and sit down, and the others should be here after a while."

After other actors come, this kind of polite drama is not uncommon. The more famous actors are, the more polite they are. Except for some people with unique personalities, others will not make themselves difficult to get along with. .

After a meal, they were each taken back to their hotel rooms by their assistants or brokers, rested for a night, and prepared to start the next day.

As soon as Silent Yan closed the door, he received a text message from Chen Hongming.

[Turn on tomorrow, go to bed early! ]

After a while, he seemed to think that this was a bit inappropriate, so he added another one.

[You are now the face of Tianhong Entertainment, so be sure to recharge your batteries today and be fully prepared for tomorrow's shooting! ]

In addition to Chen Hongming's text messages, he also received a lot of messages from other company departments. The general content is to report to him the progress of the program production. There is no problem so far, so he simply replied to Chen Hongming and turned off the phone. picked up the script.

For the actors, no matter how many times they read the script, it is not too much. It is not enough to memorize the lines. It is more necessary to understand the characters in it. Through constant imitation and speculation, it is possible to gradually get closer to the image that the characters should have.

Although the role he got was a court minister on the bright side, his background was not as good as others. The war with neighboring countries caused him to lose his family since he was a child. When he was a child, he lived alone like a beggar. When he grew up, although he was not as rich as other scholars, he had an extraordinary view of the overall situation. It is a pity that he had not met his talents for many years. 's predicament.

Maybe it was because he had suffered a lot in his life, or maybe it was because the late emperor gave him hope when he was alone in a desperate situation and accepted his fate, so he wanted to use his loyal ministers for the rest of the time to repay the late emperor, but unfortunately the late emperor left early. Before he could repay his gratitude, the young prince was already sitting on the dragon chair.

The young emperor's ascension to the throne made the dynasty turbulent, and what could be easier to control than a child who is not in harmony with the world? For a while, many people had their own ghosts. After seeing all this clearly, the kindness that he could not repay to the late emperor was placed on the prince appointed by the late emperor.

He removed all obstacles for the young emperor, even at the opposite of the entire court and even the emperor himself. He also wanted to make the young emperor grow up quickly even if he was forced. Everyone thought he was a traitor. Even the emperor thought he was trying to rebel at the very beginning, until the emperor really grew into full wings as he wished, the emperor realized what this 'traitor' did all this represented.

If this is a TV series, then there will be enough time to slowly describe the inner transformation of this character, so that readers can fully understand this character, but now this is a movie script, and the total length of the movie is only that much, which means that he It has to leave the audience with the most direct impression from the very beginning.

There are detailed descriptions of different dynasties in the systematic library. It not only records the history of the past, but also contains the etiquette and etiquette of the people of different dynasties. If you look at it together, the image of the loyal minister in the script seems to be more specific. .

They started filming the next morning.

There seems to be a bit of fog in the air in the early morning. The season is not very cold, but it makes people feel a little chilly. The location of their shooting is in the film and television city. Once you step into this place, it is like crossing a dynasty. All the buildings are antique and no more modern atmosphere.

Silent Yan changed into the official uniform of the ancient courtiers. The style looked cumbersome and heavy, but it always revealed solemnity. The original short hair had also become long hair. A few tufts of black hair were scattered on the shoulders and were gathered up by the makeup artist of the crew. Then bundle up.

No one present had seen Silent Yan in ancient costume. In their impressions, the deepest impression of him should be that in that TV series, he was wearing a loose white shirt but his hands were stained with the blood of the victim.

The actor's first famous play can easily make people have an inherent impression of him. This inherent impression is easy to break and not easy to break. Either he can play every role perfectly, and people will never see it again at first sight. Reminiscent of the previous image, either the actor itself is suitable for each role.

Silent Yan has both, with a good-looking face, he can control any hairstyle and dress, and after so long training, he can easily manage his expressions and movements, and when he comes out after changing his clothes , it even makes people feel awkward to hold the camera at him.

He really looks like a person from that dynasty, and his actions carry the unique flavor of that era. When others see it, they only think that this body suits him, but the director's perspective is different.

The director of this film is named Liu Wentao. The industry knows that he has a quirky temper and has extremely high requirements for filmmaking. At the same time, he also likes to use newcomers. Although the level of most newcomers cannot reach his expected results, but in his There are also many newcomers who have made their head in their hands.

No one knows how Director Liu looks at people. That's because they look at actors from different angles. Most directors choose actors based on fame or acting skills, but Director Liu is different. He likes to look at details.

People often say that details determine success or failure, and he also thinks so, so he pays great attention to the details of the actors' performances. The attention to detail shown in.

Now his performance has proved that he is not wrong, even if Silent Yan just changed his clothes and walked out a few steps, the details in those steps are enough to let him know that the actor has worked hard.

The ancients paid more attention to their own manners than the modern people, and they paid more attention to walking properly. The character in the script lived a miserable first half of his life, and the second half of his life was far more concerned about his own image than others. , he is not even easy to take any wrong step, whether it is under his feet or in his life.

The first scene to be filmed is a scene between the loyal minister and the young emperor after the death of the first emperor. This is a rain scene. The young emperor is played by a child star. The little boy has long been changed into the prince's costume. He looks a bit similar to Gu Deyou, who changed his dragon robe and sat while watching the show while drinking mineral water.

The sky was still foggy and misty, and the whole sky seemed to exude a depressing gloom as if to cooperate with the shooting. The artificial rain from the crew added a gloomy feeling to the whole picture.

The young Emperor stood in the rain curtain, he stood outside the court hall, at a loss, like an ordinary child who was saddened by the loss of his father.

He didn't turn his head until he heard footsteps from far to near in the heavy rain.

The visitor didn't even get down from the sedan chair, so it was obvious that he didn't pay attention to a prince, so he asked through a curtain, "What is the prince doing here?"

That person's voice was like a drop of water falling into a pond in the rain. It was clear and warm, but it stirred up waves in people's hearts. His seemingly casual words made people feel comfortable just listening to them. To hear more of what he has to say.

The young emperor even wanted to answer him at that moment, but when he was about to open his mouth, he realized that there were no lines he should have.

The camera honestly captured the boy's annoyed expression after opening his mouth. Such a performance that was completely different from the script was originally going to be 100% called out, but Director Liu did not give an order, so the shooting continued.

In the end, he couldn't bear the blood of the late emperor to give up on himself in the heavy rain. The person in the sedan chair stretched out his hand and opened the curtain. It was a face that made everyone who had seen it couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of his heart. When the rain hit him, the drops of water that fell on his eyelashes fell down slightly.

Every action of his is like calculating the angle in front of the camera, and the cameraman found that they didn't even have to struggle to find the best angle to get the best results.

As soon as he stepped out of the sedan chair, someone handed him an umbrella. He personally held the umbrella and walked to the young emperor's side. Every step he took, the young emperor's body became stiffer. The child was obviously afraid of him.

The small umbrella easily blocked all the rain for the young emperor, but most of the person holding the umbrella was wet from the rain.

The young emperor, who was addicted to grief, would not find out, and the loyal ministers who did not expect anything in return would not say anything. Before the temple, I cried bitterly through the rain, even if I was disappointed."

"Who's crying? What do you know!" The young emperor who was stabbed in the sore spot finally raised his head angrily and glared at the man standing beside him, "I won't let the father down!"

"Really?" he said lightly, "that's fine."

The young Emperor didn't notice, the man who had always been indifferent, finally brought a gratifying smile at this time.

The filming of this one was extremely smooth. No one would have thought that the silent remarks of a completely newcomer in terms of movies would be passed by Director Liu.

Before they could say a word or two, they heard Director Liu say, "Come here, I'll tell you a few points, and I'll shoot this scene a few times later."

Silent Yan hadn't really contacted the director, so he walked over when he heard what he said, thinking that it was not a good reshoot, but after hearing what the director told him, he knew what Director Liu meant. Want to make several more versions in different formats.

The staff who have been with Director Liu for a long time all know Director Liu's habits. He is definitely one of the most troublesome directors in China. When encountering a scene that he likes, he often hopes that the actor will take several more shots through different forms of expression, and then in the final production team. When editing, consider which version you will end up using.

This is really hard work for the actors, and it is also a waste of money for the crew. Every extra shot is a piece of film money, but Director Liu’s willfulness is known to the entire entertainment circle, and no one can take it. How about him, no matter how troublesome everyone is, everyone wants to make a movie with a guaranteed box office.

The rest of the crew decided after the fact that the propaganda department would add the words 'big money' to the movie's promotion.

It is already a test of one's acting skills to film the characters according to the script. The same scene and lines have to be changed in several different ways. This is completely untouched by Silent Yan. It was the first time he made a mistake in front of the camera. But Director Liu didn't care, and even talked to Silent about what he wanted to see.

Until Gu Deyou couldn't listen to it anymore, the pictures in the director's brain were usually very abstract. What they wanted to shoot was a feeling, not some specific way of performing. No one can do it with the way of director Liu's interpretation now. can understand.

Fortunately, he has acted in enough movies and TV series himself, and different ways of expressing the same scene can be regarded as practice makes perfect for him, and he can give some opinions to potential juniors.

After that, I re-shooted several times, and finally met Director Liu's request. The young actor who played the young emperor was exhausted. He was the easiest to be taken away by other people's scenes because of his mistakes. After ng several times, the little actor who always thought his acting skills were not bad came to this crew and his self-confidence suffered a setback.

However, Gu Deyou felt that Silent Yan was really talented in acting. He just mentioned a few words, and the other party took it all in his heart, and he could use it after shooting again. Witnessing the opportunity of others to grow, he can say that he has already made a name for himself, and it is a little gratifying to see someone catching up except for a sigh of talent.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touched his face, making sure that he was still young and not old before he let go.

Now thinking about the conversation when they first met, I didn't expect that polite remark to come true. Could it be that he was just pointing him? And Gu Deyou himself was quite happy with it.

The filming on this side went very smoothly, and the program produced by Chen Hongming on the other side was also launched. Many original singers emerged during the online audition, and the excellent arranger and creative ability made many people get it from the very beginning. For many fans, the ratings of the show went up as soon as the show started.

Chen Hongming had just finished dealing with the show and could finally rest, so he took out his mobile phone to see if there was any new news. He would send text messages to Silent Yan every day about the situation here. Time to text back.

Chen Hongming took a look and saw that there was an unread reply from Silent Words. When he clicked on it, there were only three simple words 'hard work'. Chen Hongming didn't believe that this guy was so concise when talking about business. You're welcome, why do you save words so much when replying to him

He just wanted to send another message, but considering that it was a bit late now, he finally gave up. Chen Hongming is different from the old cadres who work and rest like Shen Moyan. He is a night owl, and he can't let go before the early morning. Type of phone.

During this period of time, he has to run his own announcements, and he has to be a mentor for his company's music talent show. There is no particularly hot news, but he actually got a new melon when he swiped.

A production company called Yichuang posted a long article on its official Weibo account, in which it rewrote the idea that China Entertainment plagiarized their company's program ideas.

This year, plagiarism is something that everyone shouts about, let alone a company in the entertainment industry. Yichuang Production is not a small company. On the contrary, this company is even not small. Variety shows produced by this company Most of them are familiar with it. Since the official of Yichuang has issued a statement, the credibility is still very high.

Yichuang Production said that the program idea was plagiarized, and the projects originally prepared may have to be stopped. Since this is not afraid of creative exposure, they put up the company's internal planning draft and the latest reality show propaganda released by Huayu. comparing.

There are many people who eat melons on the Internet. As soon as they see fresh melons, they can't wait to start eating. After comparing the two versions, netizens found that the programs of the two companies are not only the same in creativity, but also the invited guests. There are conflicts and contradictions in the genre and gameplay, and even the expected length of the recording and the number and rhythm of the game sessions in each episode are exactly the same.

Attentive netizens even found that the locations filmed in Huayu's trailer were even the same as those in Yichuang's production plan.

It is reasonable to say that Huayu was the first to start filming and was the first to release the notice. If we say that it should be Huayu earlier, but Yichuang Productions took pictures and screenshots of all the planning time and posted them online, and their attitude was very tough, saying that they would Defend their hard work with the law.

With the scale of Yichuang's production, it really doesn't need to touch porcelain, and if it is really touch porcelain, who will touch porcelain so confidently that they want to sue the original

There are different opinions on the Internet for a while, but it is common to encounter such melons who stand in line and get slapped in the face, so most people are neutral and see if there is any new situation, or if Huayu has any way to show it. Rebut the evidence produced by Yichuang.

Huayu can't produce any evidence, because their planning case is really a later date than Yichuang's. The reason why the filming progress is faster than Yichuang's production is just because their company is larger and mobilizing more people. Just fast.

Chen Hongming turned around for a long time and didn't see any response from Huayu. He looked at the time and felt a little late, so he fell asleep.

Zhou Wenyao couldn't fall asleep. Ever since someone asked him to read Weibo, he felt that nothing would be good. This meeting can only be said to confirm his conjecture.

He didn't understand how could such a thing happen to a variety show? Zhou Wenyao can fully believe that it is impossible for his various departments to copy other people's ideas, not to mention that the other side has not officially recorded, even if they want to copy, there is no way.

The comments on the Internet and the sarcasm on the official blog of China Entertainment made him devastated. He didn't get a good night's sleep until the next morning. He changed his clothes at dawn and went to the company to hold a meeting all the time. .

The disadvantage of a large company and many departments is here. It was not until that afternoon that Zhou Wenyao finally knew how the idea that his company decided to adopt came from.

Huayu is a company mainly dealing with entertainers, so it is impossible for them to spread their focus to other places, so the programs produced by the company are somewhat lacking in creativity and innovation. In order to make up for this lack, they opened up very early. The channel for the submission of program ideas. As long as the submission is adopted, the contributor will be paid a fixed amount of bonus. The ideas of people on the Internet are always endless, and Huayu has also made a lot of money by this.

Zhou Wenyao immediately asked people to contact the contributor, and only after they really dug out the contributor's information did they find that the submission did not include contact information.

"The contributor is unknown? Do you dare to use this kind of case?!" Zhou Wenyao's head hurt, his first reaction was that Yichuang Production wanted to make trouble, and he deliberately sent their ideas over, and he blamed him I just accepted it without asking.

The reason why Yichuang Productions has been able to operate solely by producing programs is because their creativity is very interesting, and they know how to attract the attention of young people. Stand out easily.

Got overcast!

Zhou Wenyao exploded.

He intends to calmly talk to the person in charge of Yichuang Productions and ask them what they want, but who knows that just after he opened his mouth to express his attitude, a message came from the opposite side, "Zhou Wenyao, are you shameless?" ' and just hung up.

Who is more shameless

Huayu and Yichuang were completely on each other's side, and neither of them backed down. Huayu described the whole incident and named Yichuang's malicious competition to use indiscriminate means. Yichuang's official blog simply forwarded it. This one is accompanied by the phrase 'people are shameless and invincible in the world'.

This situation made the people who eat melon unsteady for a while. Those who like to watch variety shows and learn about Yichuang’s production company only feel that Yichuang will not do such a boring thing. Involving the artist, the situation that should have been pinched has been stabilized for a while.

The company has already filmed most of the filming, and the money for the celebrity guests has also been spent. The production cost of each episode is not a small amount. It is impossible for Huayu to shoot and not broadcast, and eat this boring loss.

It's just that now Huayu wants to broadcast, but it is difficult to find a satellite TV that is willing to broadcast. Yichuang Production can be said to be the darling of major variety TV and online video platforms. Entertainment, these two times are not easy to mess with.

Satellite TV is not too afraid. They clearly told Huayu that the prime time programs are already full, and now there is only space in the morning time slot to broadcast their variety shows.

What variety show will be broadcast in the morning? That's replay time! When has Zhou Wenyao encountered such a thing, but some broadcasts are better than no broadcasts. Although he is not happy in his heart, he can only hold back and count on the online video platform.

As soon as the show aired, the ratings were dismal.

Not only because of the negative comments, but also because the broadcast time is not good and other online platforms don't want to mess with Yichuang.

Moreover, although the ideas are the same, the planning case that Huayu received was incomplete. They only imitated one form, but they did not fully understand where the audience wanted to watch. At the beginning, there were fans who rushed to see it. I watched the stars, but after watching one episode, I felt bored, and no one chased after them anymore.

What's more, because Yichuang didn't really sue Huayu right away, even the Weibo topic has been suppressed by other topics. After all, no one likes to pay attention to the gossip between the two companies all day long, and they are more interested in celebrities. interested.

Just when the ratings of Tianhong Entertainment's talent show were soaring, Silent Yan received a notice of nomination for TV awards. He had to leave the crew temporarily. After taking leave with the director, he flew back overnight by plane. Chen Hongming also received the invitation. , but they are not in the same crew, nor are they together when they walk the red carpet.

However, when Chen Hongming was sitting in the crew car, he did not forget to send a message to Silent Yan.

"First time walking the red carpet, nervous?"
