The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

The press conference finally ended. Xia Haoyang originally wanted to say hello to Zeng Jingyi and leave, but director Yang Lizhu came up to him.

"Mr. Xia."

"Director Yang, what's the matter?"

"Boss Xia, I have a question that I'm embarrassed to ask."

"You say?"

"In fact, I have read the entire script several times. This is a very warm and healing work. Although there are many characters in the play, they all have distinct personalities, and various coincidences are interesting. But I always feel that the hero and heroine should actually be this old couple. The second daughter (Han Duofa) played by Jingyi seems to have a less important role. Should I shoot according to the script you wrote, or should I highlight Jingyi's role more?"

Director Yang Lizhu's problem is that Xia Haoyang, as the screenwriter of the film, asked his wife Zeng Jingyi to star in the film. Zeng Jingyi is the most famous member of the crew and received tens of millions of yuan in salary. But in fact, the role played by Zeng Jingyi in the play "Even if You Are Cheated, You Must Dream" cannot be considered the heroine. The protagonists are an elderly couple.

If the filming was done completely according to the script, Zeng Jingyi would not have many roles.

The whole play can be regarded as a group play, although Zeng Jingyi's character is not bad. She is cheerful and lively, a young woman who loves sports, is full of enthusiasm for life, and cares for children, but she is not the most outstanding character in the whole film. So the young director Yang Lizhu is more confused about whether to copy the script or add Zeng Jingyi to the film and shoot around her.

You know, Zeng Jingyi won the Golden Crane Award for Best Actress last year for her leading role in the drama "Queen of Tears". Now she is playing a supporting role in this low-budget TV series. Is this appropriate? Will a popular idol like Zeng Jingyi be happy with this?

"Of course, we will shoot according to the script, and I found that the two veteran actors chosen by Director Yang are also very outstanding. This film will definitely be amazing. Since it is a family drama, of course, it is centered on the conflicts between two reconstituted families, and then uses great love to resolve the conflicts in life. Just shoot around this main line, and you can handle the rest of the scenes yourself. As for Jingyi's role? It's enough to show the personality characteristics of the role she plays. It doesn't matter if there are more or fewer shots. The fewer shots, the better. This way, my Jingyi can go home earlier to take care of the baby. In this regard, I still need Director Yang's help."

In Xia Haoyang's eyes, Zeng Jingyi, who received the highest salary, seemed to have as few scenes as possible. Since she had made the money anyway, she might as well finish work early and go home to take care of her pregnancy and child.

"Okay, I will need your guidance in the future." Director Yang Lizhu also smiled.

"You are the director and you have the final say over the entire crew. Whether it is your role as screenwriter or investor, you only have the right to make suggestions, and you still have to make the decisions." Xia Haoyang said meaningfully.

"I understand. I will. Thank you Mr. Xia for your support." Director Yang was very grateful.

In fact, Director Yang already had an idea of ​​how the entire drama would be filmed and the entire framework, but he just couldn't figure out how Xia Haoyang, the boss of the financing and the screenwriter, decided. Although they had communicated with each other several times, Director Yang still couldn't grasp Xia Haoyang's true thoughts.

The screenwriter is not so bad, but the boss of the capital has a huge influence on a crew, because he is the financial sponsor. Generally speaking, the male and female protagonists of a big production must be approved by the capital, and the capital requires that a minor role be added or deleted in the script, or that the director take the heroine on a trip for half a month, but you don't get angry at all.

Yang Lizhu's position is low and her influence does not count. It was because of Xia Haoyang's appreciation that she got the opportunity to produce the TV series. She felt happy and understood each other after meeting and communicating with Xia Haoyang several times. However, a person's innermost thoughts cannot be understood by one or two exchanges between two people who have just met. A rich person with a high status will not easily open up to someone he is not familiar with and does not trust.

That's why Director Yang has always been unsure about Xia Haoyang's true intentions. He always felt that Xia Haoyang kept saying that this drama was tailor-made for Zeng Jingyi, and he couldn't let her play a supporting actress.

What was unexpected was that Xia Haoyang asked his wife, who had won the Best Actress award, to play a supporting role. Although Yang Lizhu could not understand this idea, she was sure about how to shoot the whole play.

No matter what, the supporting actress Zeng Jingyi was treated like an ancestor in the crew, there is no doubt about that. However, Director Yang had dealt with Zeng Jingyi several times and found that she was not a difficult person to get along with, which made her feel relieved.

In the morning, Xia Haoyang attended the new film shooting press conference of "Even If You Are Cheated, You Must Dream" at the Dahongmen International Convention and Exhibition Center near the South Third Ring Road of Yancheng. In the afternoon, he rushed to the Yancheng studio of Xinan Satellite TV near the Northeast Third Ring Road of Yancheng. The recording of the first public performance of "Competition 100" will be held tonight.

It was only around two o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the studio. Under the arrangement of Director Tian from the program group, Xia Haoyang went to his own hotel room to rest for the whole afternoon and did not leave the room until dinner time.

"How was your rest, Mr. Xia?" A staff member came to invite Xia Haoyang to have dinner together.

"Not bad, you guys made a good arrangement." Xia Haoyang praised sincerely.

"The most expensive presidential suite arranged for you is the hotel's most expensive presidential suite, which is slightly better than those offered by the other judges, but no one has any objection." The staff member looked as if he was asking me to give you a compliment.

"It's okay for me. I can just be the same as everyone else. There's no need to make any special arrangements. Besides, I won't stay here for a longer period of time like the other judges. It's convenient for me to go home."

"In fact, every judge has a house in Yancheng, so it's very convenient for everyone to go home." The staff member said lightly in an unknown tone.

Xia Haoyang thought about it and felt that this was China. It wasn’t that hard to make money in the entertainment industry.

If a popular female star like Lin Yanghuiyun can become famous, she will be able to buy a house in Yancheng in three years; as for the chief poet or music director of a music company, it is not uncommon to have a house in the capital. Teacher Pei, an art teacher, earns much more than many liberal arts teachers, and with his own dance studio, it is not difficult for him to buy a house in Yancheng.

When Xia Haoyang arrived at the restaurant, many students shouted "Hello, Teacher Xia."

"Hello, hello, you don't have to be so polite." Xia Haoyang was a little flattered.

Dinner was served buffet style, and the 100 trainees also ate here like several instructors. In fact, during the three months they lived here, the trainees had buffets for three meals a day, but today the food was richer, after all, after tonight's stage show, some of them would leave the program.
