Chapter 521: Which Is the Best Holiday Travel Destination? The Bright Sword Crew Is the Best

Du Chonglin was a little confused.

It's almost the New Year, and being an extra is not a formal job. Basically, everyone who can go home has gone home for the New Year.

Unless they are really poor, few people will continue to be extras.

Especially this time, the shooting location is still in Ancheng. Bashui Film and Television City has just developed. Compared with other large film and television cities, there are fewer people available here.

This person can't just appear out of thin air.

At this time, Du Chonglin suddenly thought of a type of person.

He asked, "You don't want to find college students, do you?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Yes, I just saw the group chat of our school. College students are basically taking final exams these days. After the exams, these college students will also be on vacation. It's just right for them to be extras."

Du Chonglin immediately said, "I don't think this is a good idea. College students have never acted in a play. Besides, students are thinking about going out to play during the holidays. Who would come to work on the crew?"

In fact, there were crews that used college students as extras before, but the effect was not very good, and later they were not used much.

Of course, Du Chonglin also thought about looking for college students, but he gave up after thinking about it.

Filming in the crew is a hard job. Why would college students come to the crew to suffer just for a salary of 80 or 100 yuan a day?

This is already a consensus in the industry.

Unless they have no choice, ordinary crews will basically not hire college students as extras.

Du Chonglin told Xu Ye about his concerns.

Xu Ye also understood these situations, but other crews can't use college students well, but it doesn't mean that he can't use college students well.

It depends on how you use college students.

Xu Ye said: "I know this, you should hurry up and prepare, don't wait until the extras are in place and you are not ready."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

After hanging up the phone, Du Chonglin gave Xu Ye the contact information of the casting director.

Xu Ye also had a detailed communication with the casting director.

On the Internet, news about the filming of "War Flames" is released from time to time, such as news that someone visited the set again.

The drama "War on the Prairie" can be said to be a full-scale investment, and even every hot search is carefully planned.

There is no doubt that this war drama starring Wang Jiahao has attracted everyone's attention.

Soon an entertainment gossip account posted a message.

"As the year draws to a close, the crew of "Bright Sword" is facing difficulties in hiring!"

This Weibo post talked about the current situation of the crew of "Bright Sword". Although the preparations are almost done, the extras have not yet been found.

These news are not secrets. If you are in the circle, you can find out with a little inquiry.

At the end of the Weibo post, this account directly said: "As far as I know, Xu Ye wrote the script of "Bright Sword" in a hurry. It can even be said that Xu Ye wrote this script purely to compete with "War on the Prairie", but it is obvious that this kind of rushing approach has led to insufficient preparation."

After this gossip account posted such a Weibo, a large number of marketing accounts soon followed.

"Bright Sword wants to be on the same schedule as War on the Prairie, but maybe there is no hope!"

"Except for Xu Ye, who is the screenwriter of the Bright Sword crew, Xu Ye did not participate in other work. Does it mean that Xu Ye is not optimistic about this drama?"

"Bright Sword is colliding with War on the Prairie, it will be very difficult this time!"

For a while, all kinds of negative news about "Bright Sword" emerged on the Internet.

Xu Ye's black fans also emerged and joined in.

"How long did it take to polish the script of War on the Prairie, and how long did it take to polish the script of "Bright Sword"?"

"Want to rush the deadline? No way, if it is really filmed, it will be shoddy!"

"Xu Ye didn't even dare to put the name of a producer or director, obviously admitting his weakness!"

These news obviously have someone behind the scenes to fuel the flames.

The two dramas have not yet been aired, but in fact the competition has already begun.

Huang Bo, the director of Ancheng TV Station, even called Xu Ye to inquire about the situation.

After the drama "Bright Sword" withdrew from the program "Flag Flying", Huang Bo called Xu Ye as soon as possible.

It is definitely risky to take down "Bright Sword", but Huang Bo doesn't care.

Today's Chang'an TV is much better than before, thanks to the two dramas "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and "Kuang Biao".

Huang Bo understands that the rapid development of Chang'an TV in the past two years has a lot to do with Xu Ye.

Xu Ye is a star from our Ancheng TV station!

Now Xu Ye is wronged, and as a family member, he must help.

At that time, Huang Bo bought the TV broadcasting rights of "Bright Sword" without saying a word.

Xu Ye naturally didn't care, anyway, it was not broadcast on CCTV, it would be fine on Chang'an TV.

Huang Bo also helped contact Bashui Film and Television City and gave a lot of support during the filming.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the problem of not being able to find extras.

Then he must help solve it.

"Director Huang, it's not a big problem. Let's do this. If you really want to help me, after I send the message of recruiting extras, you ask the TV station to forward it for me using the official account." Xu Ye said.

"It's all a small matter, no problem!" Huang Bo agreed at once.

Official accounts can't post things casually, but there is no problem in advertising "Bright Sword".

The TV series was filmed in our Ancheng and aired in our Ancheng. What's wrong with me advertising it?

After hanging up the phone, Huang Bo suddenly realized a problem.

"That's not right. Shouldn't you post it in the group chat for recruiting extras? It's useful for us to post it, but it's not very useful."

Bluebird Entertainment.

Song Zhengqi also went to the crew of "War on the Prairie" to visit and see the situation on the scene.

After seeing the situation on the scene, he felt more at ease.

The shooting progress of "War on the Prairie" is progressing steadily, and there are no major problems during the shooting.

Compared with the crew of "Bright Sword", the situation here is too smooth.

The advantage is mine.

Song Zhengqi sat leisurely in the chair, enjoying the massage service of the secretary.

The female secretary smiled and said, "Du Chonglin has been in Ancheng for two days, and he hasn't found enough extras yet."

Song Zhengqi smiled and said, "It's normal that he can't find any. Let's just start shooting after the New Year. At that time, we will set the schedule based on the situation. Now the initiative is completely in our hands."

Song Zhengqi certainly understands that Xu Ye wants to fight him with "Bright Sword", but you have to shoot the things first.

What are you fighting if you haven't shot the things?

By then, "War on the Prairie" will be shot first, and the only one who will be anxious will be Xu Ye.

On the Internet, the discussion still did not stop.

Xu Ye guessed that these negative articles should be bought by Qingniao, which made Xu Ye feel a little embarrassed.

Don't miss this free popularity.

Today, he and the casting director officially determined the recruitment standards for extras.

It is right to select college students as extras, but not everyone can be an extra.

For example, if you are 1.83 meters tall and look as handsome as Xu Ye, how can you play a Japanese soldier?

You can't play it at all. If you put on the clothes of a Japanese soldier and stand there, you don't look like a Japanese soldier.

This is not to say that there are no such people among the Japanese soldiers, but the actors must meet the audience's cognition and be combined with the background of the whole play.

Once these standards are determined, it will be more efficient to select people.

After the recruitment standards were set, the casting director said, "Director Xu, should I write a recruitment notice and send it out on Weibo?"

Xu Ye said, "What era is this? Do you think college students who are busy reviewing have time to read your recruitment notice?"

The casting director was puzzled: "Then what else should I write if not a recruitment notice?"

"Don't worry, I'll record a video for you."

The casting director was confused.

Shouldn't the recruitment notice clearly and directly display the information?

Wouldn't it be more complicated if you recorded a video?

Who would watch your recruitment video?

But Xu Ye didn't say anything, and the casting director didn't dare to make his own decision.

Xu Ye is not only a screenwriter, but also an investor.

After waiting for several hours, the casting director finally received the video sent by Xu Ye.

When he clicked on the video and watched it, his mind was full of question marks.

He sent a message to Xu Ye.

"Director Xu, is this really okay?"

Xu Ye only replied him with two words.

"Guaranteed."

The casting director gritted his teeth and sent the video to the publicity team of "Bright Sword", asking them to post the video on the official account.

After receiving the video, the head of the publicity team quickly sent him a question mark.

The casting director replied: "Mr. Xu personally requested it."

Finally, the video was still posted.

Not only did the official Weibo of Bright Sword post it, but it was also posted by a large studio, and Xu Ye also posted the video on his personal account.

In a study room at Ancheng University.

The study room was very quiet, and all the students sitting inside were either studying seriously or playing with their phones seriously.

The feeling of playing with a phone in the classroom is completely different from playing in the dormitory.

In the second to last row of seats in the classroom, Cui Kai was sitting here. He had just studied for half an hour and was going to play with his phone to relax.

Cui Kai is now a senior, and he and Xu Ye are roommates in the same dormitory.

When they first entered school, everyone lived in the same dormitory.

However, Xu Ye was obviously not as lively and cheerful as he is now. We had just known each other for a year. After Xu Ye dropped out of school, we had less contact.

Cui Kai didn't feel anything about this roommate who is now a big star. We were used to having a group of tough guys around us.

Ancheng University is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere. Sometimes we see a little old man riding a bicycle on the road. This little old man is actually the leader of a domestic confidential project.

Cui Kai opened Douyin and scrolled through videos boredly.

He has actually been admitted to graduate school. He is sitting here to study because he is too bored and has nothing to do. Especially when he thinks about having to spend a boring winter vacation, he feels that life is very boring and wants to find some fun.

While scrolling, Cui Kai saw a video.

The person in the video was Xu Ye.

He looked down and saw that the person who posted this video was Xu Ye.

"What video is this?"

Cui Kai quickly clicked pause and took the headphones out of his bag.

Watching videos with headphones on is the greatest respect for his former roommate.

After the preparations were done, Cui Kai clicked play.

The next second, Xu Ye's voice reached his ears.

"Which is the best for holiday travel? The crew of Bright Sword is the best!"

In the video, Xu Ye is wearing a suit, with his upper body in the picture, and the background is the live environment of the film and television city.

There are introductions with blue background and yellow text above and below the video.

It says: "It's free to join the group to play, and you can make money by playing during the holidays. Live role-playing games satisfy your desire to perform."

It says below: "The crew of the Sword of Ancheng Bashui Film and Television City is recruiting extras, 80 yuan a day, food and transportation included, resume submission email address is..."
