Become a dramatist from today

Tian Xiang, who I just met as a friend in the building outside Xihu Tower, has a very popular Douyin ID.

Looking at the chat history of previous greetings, Tian Xiang always called him Teacher Huang, polite but distant.

Now the news is coming from Brother Bai, so don’t change your attitude too much.

Tian Xiang did come to seek connections after seeing hot searches. Previously, her attitude towards ordinary colleagues was that when your ability to earn money exceeds a certain level, the contempt chain is useless.

Internet celebrities are at the lower end of the entertainment industry's disdain chain, but Tian Xiang is rich, so many of his friends in the industry are bigger than Huang and Baiyou.

So now, Tian Xiang wants to make a friend.

"I really can't see that he can have such ability." Tian Xiang muttered.

Huang Baiyou is going to co-produce a movie with Oscar-winner Babette Close, so if she and Huang Baiyou co-produce a series, rounding it off would mean that she is co-filming with Babette!

This is the business woman who does not know the hatred of her country, and Einstein's theory of relativity.

"Teacher Huang... you have been so popular recently. Some media want to do an exclusive interview with you, but they can't contact you, so let me convey it to you."

"I saw early on that you are not a human being, and the monster is about to reveal its true form. Let me see how you got the male lead in "Mr. Butterfly". By the way, Nanfeng Chuang wants to interview you, and I have been called. "

I received phone calls from Wu Zinan and Cheng Guang, both of whom were well-versed media people, asking their friends to convey their willingness to be interviewed. After all, Huang did not sign with a brokerage company and had no contact channels for business cooperation.

So why do reporters know that Wu Zinan, Cheng Guang and Huang Baiyou have a good relationship? Because the Weibo accounts of these two people occasionally forward news about Huang Baiyou.

And they are also related to each other.

"Sorry to trouble you, Zinan, please give him your WeChat ID." Huang Baiyou was about to add it and then declined. He was so busy that he didn't have time for an exclusive interview.

But you definitely can’t ask Wu Zinan to help you with your refusal. It’s your fault to trouble others. It would be unethical to offend someone by refusing and ask someone else to do it for you.

"How is Zinan doing lately? I see that your development momentum is quite strong." Huang Baiyou asked.

Who is more powerful than you? Triple jump in the entertainment industry, Wu Zinan muttered in his heart.

"It's not bad. Let's play a few more dramas and keep steady."

The two chatted for a few words, then hung up the phone and went about their own business. The conversations between Huang and Cheng will not be listed separately.

The tip of the pen and the A4 paper made a "whistle-" sound, and Wu Zinan wrote the character understanding. He was currently holding the script "Three Life Stones".

Teacher Huang used to write papers, right? Why can a script analysis involve the imperial court? Next to Wu Zinan was the script Huang Baiyou exchanged with him, copying the cat and the tiger.

No matter how many times I watch Huang Baiyou's analysis, I will always lament that the analysis perspective is very macro. For example, the following paragraph is an analysis of the background of the drama: ["If you live high in a temple, you worry about its people. If you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about its king." "In traditional culture, rivers and lakes and temples have special symbols. Temples are the center of political power, and rivers and lakes are the edge areas of power. The film uses the undefeated ambition of the East to blur the goals of people in rivers and lakes and the goals of the lord of the court, thus making rivers and lakes the center of political power. Just become a temple, the two are inverted...]

At first, Wu Zinan would feel that you were just acting in a play and not doing reading comprehension, so why did you write this? Does it help with performance?

Later Wu Zinan realized what he was told by others. In the last drama, he played a wandering knight, eating and drinking every day, and watching other people doing heroic acts. Wu Zinan was confused, "What on earth am I doing?"

The screenwriter told him, "We discussed a lot when the director was filming this drama. This is a martial arts film, but at its core it is anti-romantic martial arts. Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, and it is not that violent; Jianghu is not about worldly relations, and it is not that complicated. ; Jianghu is even less romantic, it is boring, just like a modern street prowler."

It turns out that the chivalrous man he plays is an ancient street rogue, so when he plays a scene where he is watching other people doing chivalrous acts of justice, Wu Zinan has to have the attitude of watching the excitement.

Background analysis is to let the actor know in his mind what era he is in and what the director wants to express.

You won't be confused if you know it. This logic applies to 99.99% of the crew. The rest are some directors who shoot without scripts, and the movies are all based on post-editing.

When encountering this kind of director, the actors may not even know what they played after the performance.

Huang Baiyou didn't know that his script was used as a template by other actors. At this moment, he wished he had more brains.

"Ah ah ah ah, it's too late to recite the script of "Seven Me"." Huang Baiyou's soul howled.

In the end, Huang Baiyou still won the script.

In early May, Huang Baiyou joined the group!

The crew of "Seven Me" was originally supposed to join in mid-April, but under Huang Baiyou's suggestion, the indoor scenery and preliminary preparations were improved, and the corresponding investment in the series was also a little higher.

There is only one way to make capital pay, and there are more imaginative benefits ahead.

"I joined the set of Mr. Butterfly in July, and my shooting cycle is only three months." Huang Baiyou frowned. Even though he had agreed with Mr. Su to focus on filming his scenes, two months was more than enough, but he was still a little worried.

No matter what, the filming must be completed within two months, and the scene must not be skipped, whether it is due to professional ethics or considering one's own mental health.

Using mental fragments to experience the character is like walking on a tightrope at high altitude. If you are not careful, you will be affected, not to mention the high-intensity exchange.

The filming locations of the series are Magic City and Lucheng. For the sake of economy, the launch banquet was scheduled in Lucheng, a county-level city managed by Pingjiang, Suzhou Province.

A typical launch banquet involves booking a few tables at a restaurant, but the crew of "Seven Me" was unconventional and booked a barbecue restaurant. The entire crew ate in the restaurant, and all the ingredients and drinks were fully supplied. The barbecue restaurant was big enough. Otherwise, it would not be able to accommodate the more than 200 people in the crew.

Huang Baiyou, director Peng, producer Zhang and screenwriter use a baking pan.

There is no fixed position, the cast and crew and behind-the-scenes staff organize themselves, either four or three people. From the distribution, we can also see who is familiar with whom in the crew. This arrangement is very painful for those in the crew who are not good at sociability.

Tian Xiang, who plays the heroine, Xiao Chang, who plays the second male lead, and Xiao Hao, who debuted as an idol, the three of them are the core characters.

"Hurry up and come tomorrow. I want to quickly experience what it's like to play with Teacher Huang." Xiao Chang said with high spirits.

Tian Xiang smiled and said, "This is your second time on the show, too. Please teach me, a newcomer who is on the show for the first time, some experience."

The newly discovered idol Mengxin Xiaohao also made a gesture of listening, "Brother Chang, tell us."

"We collaborated with Wei Yimeng on the last play. Wei Yimeng's acting skills are definitely not as good as Teacher Huang, but from my experience, as long as we are more serious, just like we usually do short plays," Xiao Chang said.

"I'm still a little nervous." Tian Xiang is pretending to be laughing. She has acted in more than 200 episodes of short plays.

"Don't be nervous, our abilities are more than enough." Xiao Chang comforted, and then said to Xiao Hao beside him, "Hao Zi, you have no acting experience, you have to work hard."
