Four Hundred and Eightieth Chapters Crew Visit

Another year is approaching.

Hengdian, the filming site of "Sword Come".

Director Hou Yi received a batch of demos of the latest songs sent by his assistant, and after listening to them, he felt as irritable as if he had eaten dynamite, and he couldn't help complaining while pounding the table: "No, I still can't! Can't there be a single song that can pass?"

It's been almost half a month since I asked for a song abroad, and still none of the songs meet my requirements. Hou Yi almost wonders if his ears are broken.

Damn, can these also be called songs? As far as this rhyme is concerned, my grandmother who doesn't understand music can write better than him.

What kind of crap did you write? Who should I sing to at this level?

Even catchy saliva songs are better than these "masterpieces" that groan without disease and have no connotation!

Or is it that the level of composition in China has dropped to this point? This is already the third batch of song demos since the beginning of asking songs to the outside world. Not to mention the good ones, he didn't even pick out a song that was barely usable. You say it's annoying.

"You have to be clear that you are my assistant, and you get the salary I send you. I don't care if you confiscated the benefits of other companies or people behind your back, but please listen to the song demo yourself before sending it to me. Once again, if songs of this level are delivered to me in the future and waste my time, you can pack up and leave yourself!" Hou Yi said to the assistant holding back his anger.

The assistant Xiaodong standing in front of him was sweating anxiously, and quickly explained: "This... Director Hou, I definitely didn't accept favors from others, but this is already the best work I can find. ..."

Hou Yi waved his hand impatiently: "I don't care what method you use, in short, before we stop filming a year ago, I want to see a suitable song, otherwise you will explain it to some investors for me!"

The Spring Festival has a deep charm in the hearts of everyone in Huaguo, and it is also the most indispensable of the year.

It is impossible for the crew of "Sword Come" to be so harsh and unreasonable. The actors are required to continue filming after the Chinese New Year. You must know that there are not only big-name leading actors in the crew, but also some "recruit eggs" from the school. For these newcomers in the entertainment industry, it is the first time they have left their comfort zone and filmed with the crew for such a long time. It is hard to say whether they are used to it or not, but no matter what, let them go home for a good year.

It is said that the emperor did not send hungry soldiers.

Stopping filming and going home for the New Year's break is also for smoother filming after the crew reunite next year.

Hou Yi had already considered when casting the cast. Considering the large proportion of newcomers in the crew, after the lead actor hired three big-name stars, some of the more important supporting roles invited many old domestic actors. The main reason is that these old actors are dedicated, have good acting skills, and the salary is not high, and they can even impart some experience to these newcomers in their spare time without shooting tasks.

Who hasn't come all the way from a rookie in the entertainment industry.

No one knows how to act as soon as they come out of the mother's womb, and they don't just learn it bit by bit.

"The old brings the new" can be regarded as a fine tradition in the industry. It is convenient for these old actors to be teachers here. As long as these newcomers are diligent enough in the crew, their mouths are sweet enough, and they are smart enough to learn, it will take so long. After the shooting, I can always learn a very rich experience from it.

This is practical experience that they couldn't buy even with money in school!

The progress of the early stage shooting can be said to be very smooth. The special effects production team is almost ready, and now there are various opening and ending songs and interludes. Considering that "The Sword Comes" is scheduled for summer vacation, according to the order of filming, special effects and editing, as long as there are no major mistakes in the middle, this time is more than enough.

The biggest problem now is that Hou Yi still feels a little puzzled in his heart because he hasn't found a song with a suitable style and quality for so long.

Is it so difficult to find a suitable song?

Their "Sword Come" crew is a rare big production. Once such a big production can become a hit, the various songs of the crew will definitely become popular as well. Isn't such a great opportunity to impress those well-known music in China? Producer?

Assistant Xiaodong also knew the pain in his heart, but he couldn't bite the bullet and refute, so he could only persuade him around the corner: "Don't be angry, Director Hou, this good song is not something I can have if I want it. The big companies in the circle cut it off. We are a small company and a small crew, and it’s useless to have no connections and money.”

Hou Yi frowned: "Why, those music producers have become so noble now? They don't even want money?"

He believes that there will be high-minded music producers, but he does not believe that there will be high-minded music producers who do not need money. You must know that in most cases, feelings cannot be filled.

It's the same as "learn the dragon slaying technique, sell it to the emperor's house", how can a music producer not want to match the music he writes with a better drama, the two are a complementary relationship.

Besides, is there anything in this world that can't be done with money?

That's the truth, but...

Xiaodong could only explain with a wry smile: "Director Hou, you may not be very clear. The current domestic music production circle is like this... well-known big-name music producers don't even look down on our little money. Besides, they It’s not that you can’t get jobs, and the appointment business for them is scheduled for next year; if they are not well-known and want to make money, you are not satisfied with the songs they produce. Besides, our crew’s budget is not tight. , but most of it is on the actors and special effects, and the budget on the soundtrack is not much, you have to be aware of this, Director Hou.”

This director Hou is good at everything, but sometimes he is a bit too paranoid, too harsh and rigorous, and pursues meticulousness. However, this is just a high-budget TV series, not a big-screen movie.

But fortunately, the crew is full of young people who can withstand the pressure. Everyone appreciates Director Hou's pragmatic style. The whole crew is full of vigor and hard work.

With repeated explanations like this, even people who are slow to respond can react.

The reason is very simple, it is nothing more than that famous music producers look down on you, and you look down on unknown music producers, and then the problem is naturally completely embarrassing here.

"In this case, you should continue to keep up with the matter in this area. If you really can't do it, you might as well stop sticking to the formality and put it on the Internet to make a public song request. Maybe there are many crouching tigers, hidden dragons on the Internet. Use extraordinary measures in extraordinary times. I hope there will be good news as soon as possible." Hou Yi is not a person who can't listen to other people's advice at all, since there is no good way, he can only change his thinking.

If you can't find a suitable one in the end, you can only choose a general from among the short ones.

Assistant Xiaodong forced a smile on his face: "Okay, I understand."

I just couldn't help but sigh in my heart, mother, I hope my luck will be better after the new year, and I will meet one or two songs that can catch Hou Dao's eyes, even if there is only one!

"Notice, rest is over, ready to start work!"

Hou Yi walked out from the rest shed and shouted to the recorder.

...

At this time, Li Chungang had just come out of the airport and got on Didi to Hengdian.

Originally, Hou Yi wanted to find someone to pick up Li Chungang at the airport, but it just so happened that today the film crew still had filming tasks, and the task was heavy and the time was tight. As a director, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave so many people and walk away.

Besides, Li Chungang found that the distance from the airport to the filming location of the film crew was too far away. Rather than affecting the normal filming work of the film crew, he might as well call Didi himself. What's more, it is rare to come to Hengdian once. He doesn't want to come and leave in such a hurry. At least you should visit many well-known "attractions" in Hengdian, and check in well.

Anyway, this is also his first visit to Hengdian, and he is somewhat curious about this largest film and television shooting base in China, which is known as a shooting holy place where actors travel everywhere and stars are as numerous as dogs.

However, Li Chungang’s trip this time can be said to be light and simple. The original intention is that the crew has worked hard during the filming during this period. His visit to the crew of "Sword Come" this time also has the meaning of condolences from a year ago. No matter how you say it is as one of the investors.

It's a little exciting to think about the legendary crew visiting the set.

Because he had said hello beforehand, and the crew knew that Li Chungang was coming, so Hou Yi had arranged for someone to receive him at the gate of Hengdian in advance.

When Li Chungang came to the crew, it happened that the filming was in progress. Seeing Hou Yi directing the filming not far away, he didn't rush to disturb him. He just sat down at the location arranged by the staff and watched the filming scene quietly.

It's the first time I came to the film crew, it seems a little unfamiliar, there are really not many people who know him, and the only few seem to be still in the middle of filming, obviously I don't have the time to notice him, although occasionally someone will vote Curious eyes, but still restrained not to come forward to say hello.

"President Li!" A somewhat familiar voice came from the side.

Li Chungang looked back and saw that it was Mi Yaxin.

She didn't know when she walked to Li Chungang's side, and when she saw Li Chungang appearing, her eyes were full of surprise, and she shouted under her voice.

"Is your part not over yet?" Li Chungang asked in surprise.

As the only artist signed by the company among so many newcomers in the crew, the company still takes good care of Feng Yuxiu and Mi Yaxin. The roles they arrange are not many but they are still brilliant. It makes sense if the filming goes well. It should end sooner, why is she still in the crew?

Mi Yaxin rolled up her hair by her ear, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes sparkling: "It's over, but I want to stay and learn more from the seniors in the circle, even if it's about acting as a passerby. Director Hou is very good. Sometimes he will give lectures to the leading actors, and we can go over to listen to them. There are also a few seniors who are more talkative. When there is no play, they like to talk to us newcomers. I think Seeing that I can learn a lot, I just stay in the crew with a blank face."

"Well, it's good to be self-motivated, come on!" Li Chungang smiled at her and nodded.

Young people have ideas, love to learn, and are willing to make progress. This is a good thing to be encouraged.

It's just that he completely forgot that he was only 22 years old after the new year, and he might not even be as old as others.

The little girl was a little pleasantly surprised when she heard the compliment, and sat down next to Li Chungang with some embarrassment, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Li, what's the matter with you this time?"

Li Chungang raised his brows lightly: "It's nothing important. It's almost the end of the year, so I came here on a whim to visit the class and greet everyone."

"Oh." Mi Yaxin pouted slightly, not daring to ask further questions.

After sitting for a while, Hou Yi finally finished filming the scene. When he saw Li Chungang, he announced loudly that he would rest for five minutes, and then walked towards Li Chungang.

"President Li!" Hou Yi greeted Li Chungang with a smile, and the assistant Xiaodong next to him also hurriedly greeted Li Chungang.

Li Chungang also laughed: "Long time no see, Director Hou."

At this time, many people recognized Li Chungang. Faced with this young and mysterious investor and screenwriter and the original author himself, everyone was still a little nervous and awed, and perhaps more curious.

There are too many people here, so Hou Yi said, "Let's go over there."

"good."

Li Chungang turned around and said to Mi Yaxin: "I'll chat with Director Hou for a while, you'll be busy with your work first, and if you have time later, I'll treat you and Feng Yuxiu to a simple meal."

When Mi Yaxin heard this, she was overjoyed for a moment, and quickly replied obediently: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Chungang's words, like a pie falling from the sky, just hit him, making the little girl dizzy, and he couldn't help laughing a little. We must know that for those who have already signed contracts with Wensi Quanyong Company, especially a newcomer, they can only rely on the company without money, power and background, and being able to get the appreciation of the company's largest shareholder is undoubtedly a step forward first step.

Qianlima needs Bole's existence, not to mention that Mi Yaxin doesn't think she is a "Qianlima". There are many girls who are young, beautiful, and in good shape like her, and her only advantage over these people is that she is "scientific class" I was born with acting skills, so even if it is a bit hard and tiring, I have to stay in the crew and continue to study and delve into everything related to acting skills.

There is a time limit for ordinary people's aesthetics, unless your beauty is really exaggerated to break through the sky, otherwise, after a long time, there will always be a day of aesthetic fatigue, not to mention the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the waves before, and the beauties who flood into the entertainment circle every year There are countless newcomers, and if you want to be recognized by the audience, you still need to have real strength.

"Xinxin!"

"Xinxin!"

At this time, a newcomer from the same school who had a good relationship with Mi Yaxin in the crew came over and asked curiously, "That's the investor of our crew, Mr. Li, right?"

"Yes."

Mi Yaxin nodded, there was nothing to hide, anyway, they all saw it just now.

Even Tan Songyun, one of the leading actors, couldn't help but leaned over and asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Li this time? He was under the pressure of spreading rumors only a few days ago."

Mi Yaxin shook her head and said frankly: "He told me that he came to visit the class just a year ago, but I don't know if it's true that I'm a newcomer to the company. What I said to him just now didn't add up to more than five sentences. I have already left with Director Hou."
