City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 386 Bad news: Star Academy is filming a drama!

"Snapped……"

"You dare to hit me?"

"I'll hit you if I hit you. Do I have to choose a day?"

"Card……"

In the large classroom where the scenery has been completed, the first scene is being filmed.

As we all know, filming does not follow the plot timeline.

It just follows the scene.

Finish shooting the contents of a scene first.

Then shoot the next scene.

This is the most efficient and cost-effective.

"Next, we filmed the heroine pretending to be pregnant, and then knowing full well that the soup sent by Concubine Li contained concoctions and saffron, and with malicious intentions, the heroine used the trick to deliberately drink it, and then pretended to have a miscarriage to blame..."

Several students in the directing class gave their opinions.

"Where's the one who plays the maid? Have you changed your clothes?"

But they are all smart.

"I'll hit you if I hit you. Do I have to choose a day?"

"Snapped……"

For example, if you are making a comedy, then you should make a good comedy. Some directors have to show off themselves, give the audience a little bit of human shock, and end up with a big tragedy. Isn't this looking for criticism?

No matter how well the final tragedy was shot.

"Yes, this is the effect we want!"

It's not a serious movie or a serious TV series.

"The part just now was good, but I think Zhao Maimai you can do it again with a different expression."

"You just don't need to be so fierce. You say that line with that kind of smile, as if it's just a small thing."

It seemed like it was just a small thing.

But a short drama.

"After all, I think the heroine is very scheming, so it's best not to show her sharpness directly."

Indeed, although the heroine she plays is essentially a ruthless woman who will do anything to avenge her superiors.

There is no need to pursue some trivial details.

And their performance also made the teachers who came to watch the excitement nod.

Although the students in the directing class have their own ideas about the details of filming deep down.

The same lines, under different interpretations by Zhao Maimai, have completely different performances.

So Zhao Maimai quickly accepted the opinion and adjusted his expression.

But this judgment of making a choice is very good.

Be recognized by the audience.

"The props will be ready soon..."

As a director, you must know what you want and how you want it to look.

It is not yet clear what the level of the students in the directing class is.

Know what show you are filming.

Hearing this, Zhao Maimai nodded thoughtfully.

But the momentum and sense of oppression displayed were far stronger than last time.

But the students who joined in the fun on the set undoubtedly liked the second option.

"A black lotus, as long as the heart is black, the more harmless the appearance, the better. This way the contrast will be stronger."

In this case, as long as the results of the shooting can express what you want to express and convey the emotions to the audience, that is enough.

Even when he said such domineering lines, his expression still didn't fluctuate much.

It’s best for a short drama that doesn’t take up too much of everyone’s time, and the audience won’t pay too much attention to details.

"Enter the makeup artist..."

Zhao Maimai, who looked as soft and weak as a little white flower, suddenly raised his hand and slapped her.

"This scene is over, the next one..."

Only a heroine who seems kind but cold-hearted can be sassy.

"You dare to hit me?"

Start the second retake.

But if he were to act in a ruthless manner, the audience might feel the same as a villain.

The most important thing is that after beating the person, he still had a peaceful smile on his face.

This director is definitely not a good director.

The same goes for everything else.

For example, when you make a commercial film, you end up having to explore philosophy or something in the film.

Another example is when making a TV series, you have to strive for excellence just like making a movie.

This is very unprofessional behavior.

What kind of film, what kind of genre, the director should do what kind of thing.

If you try too hard to express your talents, it will definitely ruin the entire film.

In the film industry, there are many examples of directors who want to showcase themselves so much that their films end up being lukewarm.

In comparison, the young and energetic students in the directing class, who are only 18 or 19 years old, are able to restrain their desire for expression and only focus on the key points and abandon the details.

This performance alone is enough to surpass many directors.

……

Except for the students in the directing class, they performed well.

The performance of students in other classes during the preparation and filming of this short drama was also very good.

For example, props and costume classes.

It’s not just about buying some props from the Internet and that’s it.

Everything selected is in line with the details.

Some even have to do it themselves.

The same goes for the clothing, which is very professional.

But it is not always close to historical data.

Instead, many details have been changed to make it more in line with modern people's aesthetics.

Also prepare costumes for each main actor.

It's all based on the actor's personal style and the plot.

Students in other classes, such as the photography class, also performed well.

But the most surprising thing was the makeup class.

After needing to change the heroine’s makeup.

Two female students came to the makeup class and with a few simple strokes, they changed the makeup of Zhao Maimai, the heroine.

Although her face is slightly pale, she also has a bit of a young woman's charm.

Simply put on makeup and it's like you've changed into a different person.

For example, the makeup technique of the island country, which is known as one of the four evil arts, is not inferior at all.

It's amazing.

Many female students present wanted to take the initiative to ask for advice on makeup techniques.

Many female students are already mentally planning to write letters to the principal.

I hope the makeup class teachers can open a few open classes every month.

……

The filming of the entire short drama was very stumbling in the first two days, and there were always some problems.

For example, props suddenly cannot be found.

For example, the scheduled extras suddenly ran away to have dinner with their girlfriends, so they had to temporarily recruit people.

Or there might be something wrong with the equipment or something.

And the actors can't help but laugh.

Especially when filming some slightly exaggerated plots and lines, the actors' expressions will always be a little tense, and then they will make themselves laugh.

But no one scolded him, and the entire filming scene was lively.

After all, we are all still freshmen.

It makes perfect sense for things to go wrong.

Only by discovering and solving problems can we improve.

So even though the efficiency was not good in the first two days, starting from the third day, the efficiency improved dramatically.

Basically, every day at noon and afternoon after class, I can shoot at least about four or five episodes.

And waiting for Saturday and Sunday, the shooting speed will take off directly.

If the overall situation goes smoothly and nothing goes wrong.

We can even crank out fifteen episodes in one day.

The academy also opened a green channel for the crew.

During the filming period, students can enjoy not having to queue in the canteen, but ordering food directly and waiting for the canteen's takeout to be delivered.

According to this schedule, the filming can basically be completed in three weeks.

The overall plot is smooth, and one episode only lasts two or three minutes. It doesn't even need a theme song, just some BGM.

So even counting post-production editing, dubbing and other work.

I'm afraid it won't take thirty days.

Thirty days to produce a finished product.

This speed, even when Hong Kong film and television was popular, was not so fast.

The progress is so fast, and students participating in this project naturally receive a strong sense of feedback.

Everyone is looking forward to the day when the finished product will go online.

……

at the same time.

On the Internet, a film and television drama suddenly begins to be marketed and begins to be on the hot search list from time to time.

"The most beautiful new student at Beijing Film Academy..."

"Why is Shu Xin so beautiful..."

"Shu Xin, who has a fever of 42 degrees, still insists on shooting..."

"Shu Xin and the male protagonist really match each other!"

"Director Zhang commented that Shu Xin is the most spiritual actress she has ever seen, even more spiritual than the original angel."

"Netizens selected the top little flower, Shu Xin was elected, and Zhao Maimai's vote count was less than 1%!"

All kinds of weird hot searches have made many experienced netizens feel headaches. Nowadays, hot searches have long become a promotional tool for the entertainment industry.

Many netizens are familiar with the propaganda routines.

For example, if a couple of male and female celebrities are suspected of being photographed having dinner together at night, it is probably because a film in which the two of them collaborate is about to be released.

There are countless similar routines.

As for the hot search about the actress Shu Xin that has been flooding the screen recently, click on it.

It's almost all about the promotion of a TV series called "Palace Lock".

Shu Xin, new student at Beijing Film Academy.

Also one of the child stars.

However, in the past few years, Zhao Maimai, who is also a child star, has been crushed in all aspects.

Not many people know Shu Xin. I just saw it in TV series and it looks familiar.

But until last year, Zhao Maimai chose Star Academy and was rejected by Beijing Film and Television Drama.

Shu Xin became the chosen child and received a lot of resources. She relied on marketing to win over Zhao Maimai and soared into the sky.

From the original various supporting roles, to directly starring in several heroine dramas.

The TV series that went viral during the Chinese New Year period is one of Shu Xin's resources.

Although the entire drama has only a five-point rating on Douban.

But it is also one of the achievements.

Not to mention how long it has been since the New Year.

There is actually another palace-fighting drama about to feature her as the heroine.

The outside world knows that Shu Xin was promoted by Beijing Film Academy to prove the strength of the established film and television industry.

Suppressing Zhao Maimai was also one of the other party's goals.

Now this film and television drama called "Palace Lock" will be officially launched in a month.

Shu Xin is in the spotlight.

Many passers-by and former fans of Zhao Maimai felt a little emotional.

They felt that Zhao Maimai had indeed made the wrong choice.

Now that Shu Xin has almost become the darling of the media.

Hot searches every day.

It seems that she has become one of the next generation's four little beauties.

But Zhao Maimai is now almost forgotten by netizens.

Occasionally, it is on the hot search, but it is because of the negative material or being bullied.

For celebrities, exposure is obviously more important.

Maybe you can really learn better acting skills by going to Star Academy.

But showbiz is inherently fleeting.

Zhao Maimai has the status of a child star. If he goes to Beijing Film Academy step by step and develops step by step, then Shu Xin will definitely not have anything to do with him.

All I can say is, it’s a pity…

And just when many netizens who still have impressions of Zhao Maimai and feel sorry for Zhao Maimai sighed.

But there is new news coming out.

I don’t know if it’s a troll or a black fan of Zhao Maimai who posted this.

Ridiculing Zhao Maimai for being stupid and making the most wrong decision.

Now I can only lie in bed every day, feeling regretful and crying.

But under the post, there were replies from Xingchen students.

"Don't be ridiculous, we, the film and television students from Star College, are also filming. Zhao Maimai is still the heroine, so she shouldn't have time to hide in bed and cry!"

"Shu Xin, who only talks in a pinched voice every day, is average-looking, and is beaten by Zhao Maimai in all aspects. Do you guys really have no bottom line at all when the navy takes over the job?"

"Tsk, tsk, Shu Xin is annoyed when I see this. The combined ratings of the dramas she has filmed are not even in double digits. The quality of the drama that Zhao Maimai is filming now really beats you in all aspects."

"You've been bumping into each other endlessly every day. Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face in two years?"

Many Xingchen students are somewhat dissatisfied with this behavior of bumping into and stepping on their classmates every day.

I am particularly disgusted with Shu Xin, the so-called Beijing Film Academy beauty.

At the same time, professional film and television filming is not a secret in Star Academy.

There are even many classmates who have worked as extras and participated in one or two scenes.

So I don’t hesitate to refute it online at this moment.

Later, many Xingchen students stood up and spoke to prove it.

This made this post instantly popular.

The attention of Xingchen Academy is already extremely high, let alone the film and television major, which is closely related to the entertainment industry, and the attention is even higher.

The film and television major of Xingchen College is newly opened.

This is only the second half of the semester, and a group of freshmen students are actually starting to film a drama?

As soon as the news came out, it immediately topped the list of hot searches.

Whether it is discussion or attention, all the previous hot searches about Beiying Shuxin have been suppressed.

Netizens are discussing what Xingchen film and television majors are filming?

Could it be that filming of the Sleeping Immortal live-action drama has already begun?

Although the outside world has long expected that Star Academy will definitely give Sleeping Immortal this big IP to shoot live-action TV series and movies.

But is that too fast?

And it’s a group of freshmen doing it.

Aren’t you afraid of screwing up a big IP?

There are actually many high-quality IPs around the world.

But most of them are at the stage where they have not been filmed.

The reason for this is not that the companies that own these IPs don’t want to make money.

But they know that they are not capable of adapting works that can be recognized by the audience.

If the adaptation ruins the reputation and is disappointed by the audience, the value of the IP will plummet.

In this case, it is better not to adapt it, but the value of the IP will always be recognized.

If Star Academy is so bold, aren't they afraid that the Sleeping Immortal IP that they finally won will be spoiled by a group of freshmen?

But considering the consistent performance of freshmen in various majors at Star College.

Netizens are not sure.

There are doubts and expectations in my heart.

Want to dig into more details.

As for the established film and television circles that were originally happy, and Shu Xin, who gained dividends by suppressing Zhao Maimai.

After seeing the news, they all frowned.

They did not expect that Star Academy would move so quickly.

It's actually about to get involved in the film and television field.

If it were filmed by the film and television majors of Star Academy, it would really be a live-action series about the Sleeping Immortal.

And it really became popular, making Zhao Maimai, the heroine, famous.

Then the status of their circles will really collapse by half.

After all, the person who personally spoke up and blocked all directions immediately became angry.

This will only make the outside world think that their influence is all exaggerated.

Even friends in the current circle will stay away from them because of this.

And Shu Xin was even more panicked.

She rose to the top simply by stepping on Zhao Maimai.

If Zhao Maimai suddenly returns as the king.

The worst one is definitely him.

How did she pull Zhao Maimai down in the first place?

In the future, netizens will return it tenfold and a hundredfold.

All I can say is that everyone understands how painful a boomerang is.

It can be said that they are all panicked.

They all want to know more news and are looking forward to whether this is fake news.

But it didn't take long.

There is indeed news of an update coming out.

The bad news is that Xingchen film and television majors are indeed filming a drama recently.

But the good news is that this project was spontaneously made by students majoring in Xingchen Film and Television. It is not a regular film and television drama, but a short video.

And the investment amount is only two million.

As soon as the news came out, the hot searches flooded the screen again.

Netizens who were originally excited were a little disappointed, but they thought it was reasonable.

They also felt that no matter how good Xingchen Academy was to its students, it would not give up big IP to a group of freshmen to play with.

It turns out they were just a group of Xingchen students taking photos and having fun?

That's fine.

The attention of netizens has been transferred to the wealth of Xingchen College.

After all, the students just took a short video.

Star Academy actually provided two million in support.

Doesn’t this pamper the students too much?

As for the established film and television circles who were originally a little worried, as well as Shu Xin and others.

After reading the news, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was even a trace of a mocking smile on his face.

Two million is indeed a lot in the eyes of ordinary people.

But in the film and television industry, what is two million enough for?

In the film and television industry where the company has invested tens of millions and hundreds of millions.

Except for some art films that can't get enough money.

Two million is really insignificant.

It’s just enough to shoot a more sophisticated MV.

So they were all happy.

Xingchen students used two million to film a short play, which was simply hilarious.

The two sides are not on the same level at all.

Look at the hot searches.

People in these circles instantly felt that this was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their strength.

Shu Xin, on the other hand, couldn't wait any longer.

I plan to trample Zhao Maimai hard again...
