I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

Beijing Film and Television Base.

In the temporary studio, Zhang Huaimou was working overtime with his production team.

Usually, the final shape of a TV series includes, in addition to the important shooting part, post-production editing, content peripheral production, media promotion, and contracted distribution platforms.

The filming has now come to an end.

The roles of the important actors are basically done, and we just have to wait for the last few scenes to be filmed before filming can begin.

Therefore, Zhang Huaimou's current focus of work has shifted to film editing and production.

He needs to keep an eye on it in person. If he finds something wrong or something is missing, he can ask the actor to refill the shot or something in a timely manner.

at this time,

Zhang Huaimou was taking the editor and a few veteran actors to watch the video on the computer.

"Lao Zhang, I have a hunch that Su Mu's performance as Gao Qiqiang will probably burn him out. Sometimes I really admire your vision more and more."

"Look at those eyes, the control of expressions and the logic of behavior. Everything is full of drama, and it's all right. Everything is right. It's rare. It's rare."

"Well, this kid really... can look older even if he puts on makeup. He still looks good without makeup. He is also very malleable. He was born to eat this kind of food."

"It's still Zhang Huaimou who has a sharp eye for actors and is quite accurate!"

Being praised by these senior actors.

Zhang Huaimou was also in a good mood at this time.

But only he understood in his heart that it was just good luck and a big mistake.

At first, people from all walks of life on the Internet thought that Su Mu could not act at all, let alone pass the audition. In the end, he felt the same way.

But if Su Mu hadn't given him the copyright to the song "Listen", he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to audition.

"Su Mu is really good. I haven't cut much of his scenes. It feels like it would be a pity to cut out any of his scenes." Zhang Huaimou said: "Xiao Li, then you can delete some of Zhang Jianlin and Zhou Yi's scenes, Su Mu Leave them all behind.”

The editor was stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Huaimou would rather delete the protagonist's role than keep Su Mu's.

What if he wasn't the biological son of the crew?

now,

Su Mu happened to come in from outside the door.

"Does Director Zhang praise me?"

Zhang Huaimou heard the sound, turned to look behind and said with a smile, "Here you come, Su Mu."

Su Mu: "Director Zhang, is the later stage going well?"

Zhang Huaimou: "Yeah, it's not bad. There's not much of an editing problem. After the announcement, the October season will premiere on Kiwi."

Among the current video platforms, not counting the two-dimensional ones, there are three major platforms that divide the market for film and television dramas.

Oil depot, kiwi and penguins.

Many times, if some TV series are not anchored by local satellite TV, most of them will choose to sell the copyrights of these three platforms, or the three platforms themselves will be the producers.

Nowadays, short videos are on the rise, and long video platforms are sparing no effort to spend money in order to grab traffic and compete for the content copyright market, otherwise they may have difficulty surviving.

Therefore, we can often see scenes of competition between these major platforms.

Every quarter, we have to change our ways of ‘playing cards’.

If you have a popular drama with any theme, after I get the news in advance, I will make one to intercept your popularity and traffic.

Whichever drama you buy for exclusive broadcast rights, I will have to sign several exclusive broadcast rights, otherwise I will be embarrassed to go out and talk.

So Su Mu also knew that in this drama, Zhang Huaimou gave the kiwi fruit in the end, and the other party naturally spent a lot of money.

Didn't have to wait long.

After Zhang Huaimou finished his work, he took Su Mu and sat aside.

Zhang Huaimou: "Su Mu, I still want to thank you first. I have found a suitable person to sing the song "Nothing to Hide" that you gave me some time ago, and it will be used as the opening song. As for "Listen", I will use it at the end of the film. and in promotional videos.

But I think you still need to tell your agent. After all, this is your creation. Even if it is signed by you as the composer and lyrics, it is not appropriate to not pay royalties, and I am embarrassed. "

I just want to make you embarrassed.

Su Mu shook his head and said with a serious face: "What did Director Zhang say? Isn't your guidance to me during this period worth a song? I am grateful to you. You have taught me a lot. I take it all as my responsibility." Your thanks!”

Su Mu gave Zhang Huaimou the song "Nothing to Hide" from the blind box last week.

Originally this song was one of Kuangfeng's theme songs in his previous life.

It's just that Su Mu can't control this song for the time being, so he doesn't plan to sing it himself.

I found an opportunity and used some caution to give it to Zhang Huaimou as the opening theme song.

afterwards,

Zhang Huaimou was deeply moved.

The more I think about it, the more I find this boy Su Mu to be pleasing to the eye. Even the post-editing was done to help him, and he was cut into the male villain who has the most scenes.

But after listening to Su Mu’s words from the bottom of his heart today.

Zhang Huaimou still felt that he owed him a favor. He originally came to Su Mu to film a movie, but he missed it and didn't get much remuneration. Now he even asked Su Mu to write more songs for free.

This would be unreasonable without some help.

While thinking about it,

Zhang Huaimou took out a portfolio, then looked at Su Mu with a smile: "Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite. Also, let's get down to business. Do you know what the theme trend will be next year?"

Su Mu: "Well, my agent told me, Gu Ou."

Zhang Huaimou could not deny: "Yes, so this year, the three major platforms, Oil Depot, Kiwi, and Penguin, are spending money to find directors to form teams. They want to shoot ancient puppet themes, and many popular stars have been signed to participate."

Su Mu: "Looking at it this way, the number of ancient puppet shows next year will probably hit a new high, but I guess most ancient puppets are the same, and good scripts are only one in a million."

Zhang Huaimou smiled and handed over the portfolio in his hand.

"Su Mu, I have a script in my hand. You can take it and go back and read it first. If you feel interested, we can continue the discussion.

To be honest, I am very optimistic about you. After all these years, there are not many artists that I can’t wait to work with for a second movie. You have to take advantage of it.

In addition, I have put a lot of thought into the channels for this script, so it is still in the confidentiality stage. Please try to keep it confidential when you read it. "

Sure enough, the careful thought of delivering the opening theme paid off.

Isn’t this about business?

Su Mu pretended to be surprised and quickly took the portfolio: "Okay Director Zhang, I will take a good look at it when I get back. I also hope to work with you again."

Zhang Huaimou smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, the ancient doll market is a big cake, and we still have to come in to get a share of the pie, but my principle is that since we want to shoot, we must also shoot something of high quality.

So I have been screening scripts for a long time, and I finally picked this one.

I see that your understanding of the script is very unique. You can read it first, and then we can find time to chat. "

Su Mu: "Okay."
