Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

After confirming all the actors, Zhao Yilin began the next series of work, such as choosing the location, whether it was a real location or a studio, and another important thing was who the director would find.

The investor recommended three candidates to her, all of whom she had never worked with. Zhao Yilin planned to talk to them one by one before making a decision. Sometimes the director determines the quality of the play.

The first person Zhao Yilin found was Cheng Fei. When she met him, she also specially called Yang Zhishui. He was the male lead, and she wanted to hear his opinion.

The meeting place was arranged at a coffee shop, which was quiet and convenient, suitable for such informal talks. She and Yang Zhishui both arrived at the agreed place in advance, but the other party arrived earlier than them. Just from this point, Zhao Yilin knew that he should be a very responsible person.

Cheng Fei obviously came prepared and even brought a laptop. After the two sides met, they made a brief introduction, mainly Cheng Fei's self-introduction.

"Hello, Teacher Zhao Yilin, Hello, Teacher Yang Zhishui, I am Cheng Fei."

Zhao Yilin didn't expect him to address her so formally. She felt a little embarrassed. "Hello, Director Cheng. Just call me Yilin. I don't think I'm qualified to be called teacher."

Cheng Fei smiled shyly, "Okay, I'll get straight to the point. I've read the script of "Love in the World: The Elegant Courtesans". This is my idea of ​​how to shoot this drama. I made a PPT, you can take a look at it first."

Zhao Yilin was very surprised. She made an appointment to meet him on the first day the investor gave her the list, but she didn't expect him to be so well prepared.

"Okay, let's take a look first."

When Zhao Yilin and Yang Zhishui were looking at Cheng Fei's PPT, he considerately ordered coffee for them so that they could drink while watching.

It took me about 20 minutes to finish reading Cheng Fei's work. It contains a lot of content, including the design of the main characters, the scene layout of the famous scenes, the movement design of the actors, etc.

Zhao Yilin was very satisfied, and she glanced at Yang Zhishui. Coincidentally, Yang Zhishui was also looking at her, and the two exchanged glances, knowing that both were very satisfied with Cheng Fei's idea.

Zhao Yilin expressed her other ideas, "Director Cheng, I am the producer of this play, I hope to shoot it on location, what do you think?"

Cheng Fei was very surprised. "Real-location shooting? Real-location shooting is rare nowadays. It should be more expensive than shooting in a studio, right?"

It is precisely because there are fewer real-life shootings nowadays that Zhao Yilin wants to shoot on location. She is really fed up with all the shooting on green screens in the studio or on built scenes.

"Don't worry about the cost. I'm just asking if you can shoot it?"

Cheng Fei was very sure, "Yes, we can shoot it. In fact, I also want to shoot the real scene, but there is really no chance."

Zhao Yilin felt that Cheng Fei was very similar to herself when she started working at Liping, so she wanted to give him a chance. "We think it's possible, but we still need to discuss it with the investors before making a decision."

Cheng Fei understood very well, "Of course, I can wait for the news. I can send the contents of this PPT to your email, you can read it a few times before making a decision."

It can be seen that Cheng Fei also wants to make this movie. A person must have desire to have motivation and the possibility of success. Zhao Yilin has already determined in his heart that he is the director of "Love in the World: Famous Courtesans". I don't know whether the investors will approve it.

After returning, Zhao Yilin just expressed her idea of ​​using Cheng Fei as the director, and the investors immediately agreed. It turned out that she had such a high voice. When Zhao Yilin realized this, she could understand why those who had the voice would be so arrogant.

Because this feeling made her feel so happy, but she was always down-to-earth, so she only felt happy for a while before returning to reality. After getting the approval of the investor, Zhao Yilin immediately contacted Cheng Fei and told him the good news.

Cheng Fei was very excited and said that he would do his best to make this drama. He kept thanking Zhao Yilin, "Thank you, thank you, I will definitely do my best to make this drama a success."

Zhao Yilin was not vague and began to discuss the specific filming plan with Cheng Fei. "Director Cheng, I said before that I want to shoot this drama on location. Do you have any ideas about the location?"

Cheng Fei must have thought about this question a long time ago, because he had the answer without even thinking about it. "We will shoot from south to north according to the description in the novel. We can replicate the Yihonglou where they lived in their later years. But we won't replicate it in a studio, but build a Yihonglou in a place similar to the one in the novel."

Zhao Yilin thought this was a great idea. "This is a good idea. There are battle scenes in it. I also want to shoot them. Do you think it can be done?"

"Of course it can be done. Wasn't that how TV dramas were shot in the past? Both the conditions and technology are much better now than they were back then, so it should be easier to do. It's just that most crews now choose to shoot in studios to save trouble."

After hearing what Cheng Fei said, Zhao Yilin felt like she had found a like-minded comrade. "Okay, Director Cheng, let's start by identifying the filming locations from south to north based on the scenes in the novel, and then we'll do a field survey, what do you think?"

Cheng Fei also felt the same way, so he agreed quickly, "Okay, Yilin, happy cooperation, let's get started right away!"

Next, they carefully studied the details of each scene to ensure that the live-action shooting would achieve the best results.

During the preparation process, Cheng Fei demonstrated outstanding professionalism and teamwork ability, which made Zhao Yilin more convinced that her choice was right.

In addition to selecting locations, there is still a lot of work waiting for her, but Zhao Yilin is fearless. She cheered herself up and encouraged herself: Come on, Producer Zhao!
