Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2686 Two films shot together

Ye Mao only planned to make one movie. After all, his course load was so heavy and he had to be a good student, right?

The TV series are endless and it’s tiring. You have to play the male lead and you make hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute. Is it worth it to go into acting?

Don't think that acting is a good career. If the screenwriter is unethical and sets some messy scenes for you, it will ruin you.

For example, jumping into the river in winter, or eating earthworms alive. His war wolves, those guys have eaten all kinds of insects and raw meat alive.

Fortunately, campus dramas are better, and those shots should not be there. Even if there are, Ye Mao can arrange them for someone else. After all, he has the final say in everything.

However, he is currently facing a new problem, which is that Zheng Lanzhi has invited him to be the male lead in the Military Reclamation University.

This is a bit of a conflict. He plans to use all newcomers, and those who are not suitable will be replaced by actors from the company.

Wang Wen and Li Yunlong will naturally play the teachers, and other roles will be chosen from students as much as possible.

He also read the scripts of the Military Reclamation University, and found that Guo Yang's script was more to his liking. Although it was a TV series, it was completely possible to shoot two films with the same crew.

There is no conflict between the movie and the TV series, but he couldn't refuse Zheng Lanzhi's invitation.

First of all, that was his hometown. Secondly, Zheng Lanzhi was also a contributor to the Military Reclamation City. She single-handedly supported the two major schools in the Military Reclamation City.

If Ye Mao dared to disagree, his father would fly over and beat him, and the key point was that he would have to carry him away after beating him.

Ye Mao was a smart man, so he could only tell Principal Zheng and he would make arrangements to stagger the times to ensure that no one would be delayed.

It seems that my plan to be a good student has been ruined again. Isn’t it frustrating that a person who wants to study hard has no time to study?

He could only discuss this matter with the dean again. The dean grinned and patted him on the shoulder:

"Xiao Ye, I believe you can handle it all. Just do whatever you want to do. The school is your strong backing!"

Just as Ye Mao was about to express his gratitude, the dean's voice rang out again:

"But you're a little bit biased. Why do the Military Reclamation University have movies and TV shows, but Huaqing only has movies? What's the difference? I'll help you make up for it."

Ye Mao is a sensible and good child, and he quickly promised:

"It's not bad at all. I'm writing the script for a TV series."

After leaving the office, Ye Mao slapped himself in the face: "I called you a bitch, you can say anything!"

Since they had accepted the task, they had no choice but to work together. He found that Yingying was really a get-it-done person, so he asked her to prepare to set up a crew.

Because the people there had little experience, he asked Ning Shui and Grandet to go over and help.

We also borrowed a few ethnic girls from Brother Film and Television as female students, even though the Military Reclamation University was located in the northern border.

But there are really few people from ethnic minorities, which is mainly determined by their academic performance. However, with the continuous improvement of education levels, I believe this gap will soon be made up.

As for the script, just use Guo Yang's. Of course, he doesn't know Guo Yang's thoughts and actions, otherwise he would never use his script.

Are you kidding? How dare you think about my woman? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Even if you are more handsome than me, it won’t work!

Yingying waved happily, and her voice was clear and pleasant on the phone. Ye Mao didn't know what happened between her and Malu, so he didn't care. He gave a few more instructions and hung up.

Ning Shui and Grandet flew directly to the Military Reclamation University, while Li Yunlong and Wang Wen came to him, mainly to select actors. Ye Mao couldn't do this alone, right?

Wang Wen was originally a teacher at the drama academy, and I don't know if he has used hidden rules? Ye Mao didn't worry about this.

The two were a little nervous when they arrived at Huaqing. Although it had a good reputation, this institution was indeed somewhat different, so they behaved more restrainedly.

"Hello classmate, can I meet you?"

Wang Wen, with a kind face, called out to a girl who was walking hurriedly.

The girl stopped and looked over angrily, then her expression changed immediately:

"Teacher Wang, are you calling me?"

Wang Wen was surprised: "Do you know me?"

Feng Yini was very excited: "How could I not know you? There are probably few people in this school who don't know you, right? What are you doing in our school?"

Wang Wen looked calm. He was already a celebrity, and now he became even more famous. He had always played the leading role, but this time he played a supporting role and became the best actor. And an Oscar winner.

Wang Wen has never been a modest person, he nodded and smiled:

"I'm here to select actors for your campus play. I think you have a good temperament. Are you interested in joining our crew?"

Feng Yini grabbed Wang Wen's hand and said, "Mr. Wang, are you serious? You want me to act?"

Wang Wen nodded affirmatively: You have definitely acted in the play, but you still need to take a test and then confirm your role.

Feng Yini bit her lips to control her emotions and not let her tears flow. She was really so happy.

Every girl has a dream in her heart, and her dream is to be a star. Although the university she attends is the best in the country, this wish cannot be realized.

Who knew that this time the pie would hit me directly on the head, and I'm still dizzy and unable to react.

"Teacher Wang, just tell me what you need me to do, and I will do it!"

Feng Yini's voice trembled when she spoke, and her expression looked as if she was ready to die.

Wang Wen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, tell me your phone number and I'll let you know the interview time."

Li Yunlong strolled around the campus with his hands behind his back. In order to save time, he separated from Wang Wen. Wang Wen was responsible for the female actors, and he was responsible for the male actors.

A short boy and a tall guy walked over together. These two people walking alone really didn't attract anyone's attention.

But when they were put together, Li Yunlong's heart moved.

One is skinny and skinny, the other is big and strong, with a height difference of almost 40 centimeters. If this were put in a movie, there would be no need to deliberately create it, it would all be just a performance.

Li Yunlong came over and called out to them.

Liu Da glanced at Li Yunlong and couldn't help but shout:

"Li Yunlong, why are you coming to our school?"

The handsome guy also looked excited and kept grinning at Li Yunlong.

After just a few words, the contact information came and they had to interview together, so Li Yunlong went to look for his target again.

Campus dramas naturally have more characters, but it is best to use dormitories as units, with four boys and four girls.

After making them the protagonists, the story can be developed around them. Otherwise, the story will be scattered if there are too many characters.

This is how Ye Mao's script was written. In fact, he did not have much campus life and the people he came into contact with were limited.

There are several male protagonists, and the story revolves around several people in the dormitory. Who made him come to school so seldom?

He is now immersed in a pile of words again. There is no other way. He has to write the TV script himself. As for the movie script of the Military Reclamation University, he can just ask the company's people to do it.

At least Ye Mao's major is suitable for him, and he is glad for his original choice. Otherwise, it would be a joke to study water conservancy or civil engineering. The stories and characters in the movie script are ready-made, so we just need to expand them. Naturally, we need to add some characters and stories, which is easy.

In fact, the screenwriter can do this, but Ye Mao doesn't like what the screenwriters come up with nowadays.

Although he is also a young man, he finds that he is on a completely different wavelength from them. Although he is an adult, his appreciation level is still at the level of his childhood, and a movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is enough to cope with him.

Ye Mao never considered himself an elegant person, but at least, the things he liked were changing with age.

I totally don't understand those young handsome men and fairies. What's so attractive about them? Is it the sequelae of eating too much gutter oil?

The script can be written first, but the crew must be formed first. We will definitely shoot here first, and then go to the military reclamation city.

Of course, the TV series have to be shot on both sides. Each series has 30 episodes, so even if it is shot faster, it will take two months to shoot.

Ye Mao must show up for the interview three days later, and Wang Wen and Li Yunlong have already found the actors.

The school specially vacated a conference room and several offices for the crew, and the name of the film has been decided. It is called "Shui Mu Nian Hua".

The crew's office has been hung up with a sign, and the interview will be held in the conference room. They also provided a theater, but it is a bit big and not very convenient. We will use it during filming.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, in principle, the filming will not leave the campus. Of course, if the plot requires it, there will be some outdoor scenes, but not many, and the scope is fixed in Beijing.

This way, the shooting speed will be faster, otherwise, just shooting the exterior scenes will take a long time.

Ye Mao naturally sat in the examiner's seat, with Wang Wen and Li Yunlong sitting on either side, and a female clerk from the company taking notes.

Although the first few people who came in were all very handsome and beautiful, Ye Mao didn’t have any feelings for them. After all, he was the screenwriter and had the deepest feelings about the selection of characters.

Then someone came in from below and stunned him.

Feng Yini...

If Ye Mao had not seen the surprise in Feng Yini's eyes, he would have thought that this girl had gone through the back door.

Feng Yini quickly calmed down, and then performed a piece according to Wang Wen's request.

Wang Wen is a very demanding person in his work. In a skit, there are both crying and laughing, which is undoubtedly very difficult for someone who has never learned acting.

But this Feng Yini is really good, as if she was born to do this job. Although her performance has some flaws, it is still eye-opening.

Especially her temperament, that natural charm that others can't imitate.

Ye Mao simply put a √ and called the next one.

In fact, there are more and more women like Feng Yini in this era. They know how to use the characteristics of women to get what they want.

It's just that the levels are different. Some know what to take and what not to take, while some have no bottom line at all and don't care about their dignity at all.

There is such a character in the play, the second female lead, a sophisticated egoist.

When Ye Mao was writing the script, he unknowingly brought Feng Yini into the story. It's not that he had any discrimination against her. She was just selfish. What's wrong with that?

Ye Mao was dumbfounded. All the people from his dormitory showed up. What else could he say? The original cast performed the role realistically.

Then there was Yan Zi, Xiao Rou, and Lao Mo’s girlfriend…

After testing, Ye Mao decided to use them as the main actors.

The problem of international student actors has not been solved. This is not a big problem, it’s just that Wang Wen and Li Yunlong haven’t met the right ones.

Ye Mao thought Luna and Jingjing were good choices, one with a white face and the other with an Asian face, and he could just find two more.

Ye Mao was very satisfied with the work of his two predecessors, so he handed over the matters of the shooting location to them and focused on typing.

At the Military Reclamation University, although Ning Shui and Grandet were both here, the main work was still led by Yingying.

Guo Yang can only play a role with not many scenes. There is no other way, Sansha is the male lead, and no one can replace him.

From the moment Ye Mao agreed to come back to act, there was no chance for Guo Yang.

Originally thinking that this guy would turn against her, Yingying was ready to find someone to change the script and make it her own. There was no need to make major changes, just change the name.

Anyway, there are many people who do this, and Guo Yang's request is unacceptable. Even if it gets out, I will probably be despised by my classmates for being too selfish.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly became so easy to talk to. This was also an unexpected surprise. Yingying planned to talk to Ye Mao and give him more roles.

However, in Guo Yang's script, there was only Jin Wan, but no Jin Ping. Yingying didn't know how Ye Mao solved this problem. Anyway, the script was passed.

Yingying also arranged a role for herself, which was naturally Malu’s girlfriend. This is also called acting in her true colors.

By this calculation, the number of main characters is actually almost the same, and the others are supporting roles and extras, so there is no need to spend so much time thinking about them.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the start date to be set.

Ye Mao gritted his teeth and decided to start filming both sides at the same time, and the heroine of "Shui Mu Nian Hua" would be played by Jin Ping, which saved the trouble of selecting actors.

He originally thought so too. There was no need to show the emotional entanglement between the twins and himself on the screen. Wolf Warrior handled it in a blurred way, which made many viewers regretful.

Ye Mao called his father and asked for his plane. With this, he could use his rest time on the plane. Five hours was enough for him to have a good sleep anyway.

When the dean heard the news, he came over personally to persuade him and told him to give him more time and no one would rush him.

But Ye Mao said that he had to finish the filming quickly and study hard.

The dean's facial muscles twitched several times, but in the end he did not praise him.

In the following days, I just flew back and forth, shooting on both sides at the same time. One day on each side, so that after shooting, they can be released at the same time.

If it were someone else, they would definitely postpone their movie schedule, but Ye Mao didn't do that. I don't know if he wanted to compete with me.

The filming of a movie is actually monotonous and tedious. After all, these two films are campus dramas, so there is no need to run around.

But while others didn't run, Ye Mao became a flying man.

As for Jin Ping, she simply went to Huaqing University to audit classes. Although her time was limited, she was very happy to be able to study here.

Although the Military Reclamation University is very famous, it is only more professional.

How can the real foundation be compared with Huaqing?

But there is one thing that even the president of Huaqing University admits, that is, Huaqing University also needs to learn from the educational model of the Military Reclamation University.
