This star’s style is wrong

The Golden Eyebrow Award Ceremony ended and it was already very late.

There were many reporters outside the venue, wanting to interview the award-winning guests as soon as possible.

It was too late, and Fang Xing didn't want to be dragged around by reporters for an hour, so he hurriedly got in the car and left the venue.

When I got home, it was already early morning.

Lu Xiang'er fell asleep on the sofa, and the end of the awards ceremony was still playing on the TV.

Apparently he had been watching the awards show and then fell asleep on the couch.

Fang Xing walked over and picked her up.

Lu Xiang'er woke up and made a frightening gesture: "Dang, Dang, Dang!"

But at first glance, he still looked sleepy.

Fang Xing found it funny and said, "If you feel sleepy, go to bed first. I told you that you will definitely come back very late tonight."

Lu Xiang'er curled her lips and said, "I want to watch the live broadcast anyway, so I'll wait while watching."

"Then I fell asleep on the sofa." Fang Xing carried her back to the room and put her on the bed.

Lu Xiang'er chuckled, got off the bed with bare feet, and said, "I haven't washed up yet. I want to be a delicate pig girl today."

As she said this, she went into the bathroom and started washing herself, then applying a facial mask.

Fang Xing took a quick shower.

Attending the award ceremony, it seemed like I had done nothing, but having to work all day long was quite tiring.

Lu Xiang'er came out with a facial mask on and asked, "Where's the trophy? I saw you got the award. Let me see it."

She walked to the living room and dug out two trophies from a cardboard box.

One is for Best TV Series and the other is for Best Director.

She picked it up and admired it carefully, then took it into the study and prepared to find a place to put it.

Fang Xing came out of the shower and saw her cleaning the cabinets in the study. He smiled and said, "The Best TV Drama Award will be taken to the company tomorrow. As an honor that belongs to the crew, it is more appropriate to give it to the company."

Lu Xiang'er thought for a moment and said, "That's right."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the trophies placed in the bookcase and sighed: "Golden Melody Award, Best Actor, Best Director, there are really all kinds of awards."

She said, wiped a trophy in the bookcase with a towel, and then coughed.

When Fang Xing saw her expression, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Yes, yes, this trophy has the highest gold content, the international competition trophy."

Lu Xiang'er felt even happier.

She does not have many trophies, but the trophy of the Paganini International Violin Competition is indeed the honor she cares about most.

She thought for a while and said, "By the way, I'm preparing to compete in the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition next year with "Butterfly Lovers". Do you think I can win the prize?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't we going to use Tchaikovsky's violin music for this competition?"

Lu Xiang'er nodded and replied: "Yes, in the second and third rounds, Tchaikovsky's music will be used to compete, but in the third round, two pieces of music will be played, one is "Concerto in D Major", and the other is You can choose a concerto from another composer."

Many international violin competitions are named after famous violinists and composers. These competitions sometimes have special rules.

For example, the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition stipulates that Tchaikovsky's violin music must be used in the second and third rounds.

Of course, the competition also gives the contestants autonomy. One of the two competition songs in the third round can be chosen by themselves.

In fact, Fang Xing is not sure whether "Butterfly Lovers" has any advantages in participating in international competitions.

However, this is an opportunity for culture to go global.

Regardless of whether he can win the prize or not, Fang Xing will support it.

"I'll go with you then."

…

the next day.

Fang Xing woke up relatively late. He woke up at ten o'clock and then went to the company. By the way, he took the best TV series award he won last night back to the company's showroom and put it on display.

When I arrived at the company door, I found many reporters guarding the door, asking for interviews.

The Jin Junmei Awards Ceremony ended last night. Reporters blocked many award-winning guests for interviews, but Fang Xing walked away quickly, so the reporters did not interview them.

Now that Fang Xing has won important awards such as Best TV Series and Best Director, he is exactly the one standing at the forefront of entertainment news.

How could entertainment reporters let go of such breaking news, so they all wanted to get Fang Xing's interview news as soon as possible.

Fang Xing entered the company directly from the basement without being blocked by reporters.

However, after arriving at the company.

Qiao Yinghong reminded: "Boss, reporters have been waiting outside all morning. Do you want to be interviewed?"

Fang Xing replied casually: "Didn't we just interview you yesterday?"

"That was the interview after the red carpet. I haven't done any interviews since I won the award."

Qiao Yinghong paused and added: "Many of the cooperating reporters sent me messages, hoping to interview first-hand news. Why don't you take some time to answer a few questions?"

Fang Xing looked at the time and said, "Okay. Call all the reporters in. We'll have lunch after the interview."

then.

The assistant invited the reporter from the lobby to the conference room.

Fang Xing was already sitting in the conference room waiting.

Qiao Yinghong asked people to give water to the reporters and said: "Everyone has worked hard. Let's drink some water first. Fang Xing was tired last night and got up late today. He just arrived at the company. The interview will start immediately and we will take turns asking questions."

With that, she handed the microphone to the nearest reporter.

The questions reporters want to ask are basically the same, and they are all related to the Jin Junmei Awards Ceremony last night.

Reporter: "Director Fang, you have won the best director award from three major TV series awards, and you will be a great director in the future. What do you want to say?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "It's nothing special. The main reason is that my director team is relatively good."

With that said, Fang Xing motioned to Zhang Yigao next to him and introduced: "This is my assistant director. He was responsible for shooting many scenes."

While filming "Dark Glory", Fang Xing also participated in the live broadcast of the finals of the second season of "The Voice of China".

When not on the crew, Zhang Yigao is mainly responsible for directing.

This division of labor is common in the TV drama industry.

Sometimes, in order to keep up with the shooting schedule, the director and assistant director will lead the team separately to shoot in different places.

The more mature the crew, the more common this division of labor pattern is.

Fang Xing added: "You can also interview my assistant director. In fact, he is fully capable of filming TV series on his own. Among my team, he is considered a talentless one."

Zhang Yigao waved his hand quickly: "No, no, Director Fang is overrated. It was only after I followed Director Fang that I realized how insignificant I am, and I learned a lot from Director Fang."

Most of the entertainment reporters present knew Zhang Yigao's resume.

Zhang Yigao once filmed a small popular online drama, but then he filmed two dramas in a row. After that, the film and television investment company lost confidence in him.

From then on, he could only get some assistant director jobs and never picked up a guide tube again.

During that most lonely time, Zhang Yigao experienced a lot, and even wanted to leave the industry for a time.

It's just that this is what he studied. He was born in a major. He wanted to change his career to something else, but he had no experience and no funds.

Therefore, he worked as an assistant director or even a handyman on the crew for several years. Until he was in his thirties, he still did not find a chance to turn around.

Until Fang Xing was preparing for "The Beginning", he needed to find a director with a professional background to cooperate. He talked with many directors in the industry, but none of them were suitable.

This gave Zhang Yigao the opportunity to enter Ark Culture.

actually.

When preparing for "The Beginning", Ark Culture had already produced "Wulin Gaiden" and it was a great success.

At that time, there were many second-tier and even first-tier directors who were interested in the new drama Fang Xing was preparing.

After all, there has been a popular TV series, and the new series will definitely attract the attention of the industry.

Therefore, Fang Xing met many second-tier and even first-tier directors at that time.

These directors are also willing to take on the drama "The Beginning", but only if they direct it alone.

What Fang Xing wanted was a two-director production, which was not in line with the expectations of these famous directors, so naturally they couldn't agree on it.

There is basically no shortage of jobs for second-tier or above directors in the industry. As long as they come up with good projects, they will definitely be able to attract investment.

Even if they do not personally prepare film and television projects, film and television companies will hire them to direct them.

When a director reaches a second-tier level or above, he has a bit of a temper.

Therefore, when Fang Xing expressed that he wanted to make a two-director production, none of these already famous directors were willing to take the job.

That's the case.

Zhang Yigao came to Ark Culture for an interview.

At that time, his resume was not pretty. He had filmed a small-budget online drama that was moderately popular, but then he fell out of business one after another. In the end, he could only work as an assistant director on the crew.

Situations like his are very common in the film and television industry.

There are so many directing graduates graduating from film schools every year, but not many can actually make TV series.

Most directing graduates are already doing very well if they can get jobs shooting commercials or music videos.

If you can save a small-cost online drama, it can already be touted in the industry.

In his small circle, Zhang Yigao was once a person who had filmed TV series, but he never got the chance to be a director in the next ten years.

The competition in this industry is so fierce.

Zhang Yigao also came to the interview with Ark Culture with the attitude of giving it a try.

As a result, Fang Xing took a fancy to his graduation short film.

What Fang Xing needs is a director who is professional enough and has a professional background to cooperate.

A famous director is not willing to do it, and a director like Zhang Yigao who has been around for ten years has achieved nothing, but a director with a professional background is just right.

Ever since Zhang Yigao joined "The Beginning", it was like being on a rocket.

The TV series filmed after that were each more popular than the last.

His current resume is already very scary in the film and television industry.

After all, the names of the series of TV series in his work list are really too fierce, such as "The Beginning", "The Pretender", "Hurry", "Nirvana in Fire" and "Dark Glory".

These TV series are all in his work list.

Although most of them are just assistant directors, this is enough.

For the audience, they may not pay attention to who the assistant director is.

However, the industry knows very well that even if you are just an assistant director, the gold content is very high.

Fang Xing also hoped to give more opportunities to his partners in the directing team, so when the reporter was interviewing him, he brought the topic to Zhang Yigao.

The reporter looked at Zhang Yigao and started to ask: "Director Zhang, your current works are thick enough. Have you ever thought about leaving Ark Culture and making independent dramas?"

Zhang Yigao did not expect that when the reporter opened his mouth, it would be such a sharp topic.

He widened his eyes and said, "I haven't thought about it."

Reporter: "Why haven't you considered it? Is it because Fang Xing is here and you don't dare to tell the truth?"

Zhang Yigao's expression was uglier than crying: "Can you not be so cruel? I am just a little assistant director. I just want to follow Director Fang and contribute a little bit of my strength."

He said with his hands clasped together, begging the reporter for mercy.

How could the reporters let him go like this? If they didn't release the news on time, it wouldn't be out of their style. So they turned to Fang Xing and asked:

"Fang Xing, have you ever thought about letting Director Zhang go solo? He filmed a drama alone ten years ago. There are rumors that most of your work as a director was actually done by the assistant director, but all the honors were given to you. One person took it. Is it true?"

Several assistant directors present widened their eyes at the same time, wanting to go up and choke the agitated news reporter.

Fang Xing was very relaxed and replied casually: "If they want to make a drama independently, I will support it. As long as they have this idea, they can bring the script and project plan to the company. If the project has potential, the company can even invest." .

"Of course, I have very strict requirements for film and television drama projects. I don't need to explain this. My assistant director should know it."

The reporter turned to Zhang Yigao and asked: "Director Zhang, Director Fang said that as long as you want to go solo, I can even invest in you. Have you ever thought about giving it a try?"

Zhang Yigao emphasized: "I don't have this idea at the moment, and Director Fang is the best at scripts and has very strict requirements for film and television projects. It is not easy at all to come up with a script that satisfies Director Fang."

Another deputy director chimed in and added: "To be honest, it may be easier to get investment from other film and television companies, but it will be even harder to get investment from Ark Culture."

The reporter asked: "Why? Is Director Fang's requirements for film and television projects really so high?"

Zhang Yigao thought for a while and replied: "That's for sure. Only with strict requirements can the quality of the dramas produced be guaranteed. In fact, there are many rumors on the Internet that Director Fang is very strict in selecting actors, but in fact, he is very strict about the script and the way he is convinced. The requirements are equally strict.”

Now, Zhang Yigao's resume is already very rich. He is the assistant director of five dramas: "The Beginning", "Hurry", "Nirvana in Fire", "The Pretender" and "Dark Glory".

Even though he is only an assistant director, his gold content is not low at all.

If Zhang Yigao now wants to make a drama independently, he will find investment from a film and television company in the industry. It will not be difficult to get A-level investment.

only.

After staying at Ark Culture for a long time, Zhang Yigao became less and less interested in seeking investment from other film and television companies.

Because once you get investment from other film and television companies, you have to make dramas according to the investors' requirements.

Zhang Yigao has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years and knows the rules of this industry very well.

Moreover, his current resume is indeed good, but once the drama he invests in is commercially available, he will hit the bottom again just like ten years ago.

Therefore, he was very cautious about this matter.

The reporter turned to Fang Xing and asked, "Fang Xing, are you too controlling and suppressing your director team in order to work without giving them a chance to get ahead?"

Fang Xing shook his head and smiled: "You guys won't stop until the big news comes out. In fact, the scale of Ark Culture is getting bigger and bigger, and future film and television projects may not be directed by me personally. Moreover, Ark Culture has always been about staying or leaving as you please. , only when the team is united can the content be produced well.”
