After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 419: Two Mountains of Sweet Love Stories

The next morning, it was dawn.

After chatting all night, Li Mingyang and Lei Jun left the lounge and went to the cafeteria of Xiaomi's OEM factory Inventec to have breakfast.

Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, white rice porridge, and a pile of side dishes, simple and unpretentious.

Many big guys have a simple breakfast, the lighter the better.

Finished breakfast.

Lei Jun was worried that Li Mingyang was driving while fatigued, so he insisted on having someone send Li Mingyang back.

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Li Mingyang got into his car.

The naive Chen Rui got into the driver's seat.

Li Mingyang rolled down the car window and waved goodbye to Lei Jun and his friends.

"Director Li, where are you going back to?"

"The Bouquet Hotel."

"okay."

Chen Rui started the car and drove out of the Inventec factory in a short while.

Li Mingyang looked at the streets passing by outside the window. Feeling the wind, he gradually became more excited and no longer felt sleepy at all.

He didn't want to do any publicity for the witch, so he just had to make do with it.

But Lei Jun's compensation opened Li Mingyang's eyes!

He smelled a huge opportunity!

We decisively strived to achieve the greatest publicity and promotion effect for Witch and took advantage of the first launch of Xiaomi mobile phone.

Li Mingyang suddenly looks forward to the head-on confrontation between Witch and Transformers 3!
……

In the apartment on the top floor of the Bouquet Hotel, I fell asleep holding Zhong Xiaoyu in my arms.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mingyang returned to the hotel where the crew of Love and Destiny was staying.

Gather all the main creators to hold a script reading session.

Li Mingyang has been in the industry for so many years, but has never filmed a long TV series.

The only one that's even remotely close to being a TV series is Diaosi Nanzi, which is a fast-paced miniseries with several stories pieced together in each episode.

Although he has never filmed it, no one would think that he can't take a good photo.

What Boss Zhao is most worried about now is that Li Mingyang has too high requirements and is too slow in shooting... and he can't control the shooting rhythm well.

There are no problems in other aspects. Even the most difficult star, with Li Mingyang in charge, no one dares to act like a big shot, change the script at random, or add more scenes for themselves.

Before the meeting, Boss Zhao pulled Li Mingyang to the corridor and whispered, "Director Li, we have to speed up the shooting. There are more than 20 filming locations. If we delay shooting here, other locations will have to reschedule. I'm not afraid of spending money, but it's too much trouble to coordinate and the communication cost is too high."

Li Mingyang nodded and pushed open the door of the conference room.

In fact, he is very good at filming TV series.

He has been a supporting actor for ten years, and most of the films he has shot were TV series. He has been on seventy or eighty crews and has a wide range of knowledge and rich experience.

The narrative rhythm of a TV series usually follows the pattern of tension-relaxation-tension-relaxation-balance. Multiple clues are intertwined to create contradictions and suspense and solve them.

By constantly introducing new characters and events, new contradictions and conflicts arise, and the plot is linked together, the audience is kept expecting.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to set up a big expectation, and then use countless small expectations to hook the audience to keep watching.

It's a suspense drama where new clues and new tasks keep appearing, and the ending is when the truth comes out.

In romance dramas, the ambiguity between the male and female protagonists is the most interesting. After the relationship is confirmed, the anticipation is gone. If there is no third party involved, you have to prepare for the ending.

Popular IP novels are adapted into TV series.

As long as the screenwriter, director and actors stay true to the original work and don't play tricks, there will generally be no problems.

The problem is that someone played tricks and changed the script.

After all, in the era of traffic, the quality of a drama mainly depends on the actors.

When audiences choose a TV series, the first thing they look at is the actors, followed by the genre, and finally the plot.

If the actors are not satisfied, it will be difficult to continue filming the show.

The most classic one is Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace...

The male and female protagonists of "The Love of Silent Night" are Hu Ge and Tang Yan.

The two were still filming Xuan-Yuan Sword and came here midway, with only one month of shooting time.

In later words, the two were acting in a dramatic way and were not professional.

But in this time when TV dramas make a lot of money and there are not enough traffic stars, the producers are begging traffic stars to film.

It is not uncommon to see directors chasing after actors and talking to them about the scenes whenever they can.

The purpose is to attract traffic from traffic stars.

Compared with the later traffic era,

Although Hu Ge and Tang Yan have their own traffic, they are still quite dedicated and their acting skills are also remarkable.

The prerequisite is to be attentive.

Correct attitude. Except Hu Ge and Tang Yan.

Li Mingyang also stuffed in many artists from Youth Light and Jiaxing Tianxia.

Tan Songyun was also stuffed in. Li Mingyang wanted her to play He Yime, the daughter of He Yichen's adoptive parents.

But Boss Zhao and Gu Man disagreed, thinking that Tan Songyun was too childish and did not fit the character's image.

Finally, Kan Qingzhi was used.

Tan Songyun became one of Zhao Mosheng's colleagues.

The two women never spoke to each other again after that...

Tan Kai, who plays Xiang Yu in the myth, plays Ying Hui.

Wang Kai plays Lu Yuanfeng, the third male lead.

Yang Zishan plays Xiao Xiao.

This cast is mainly supported by Hu Ge and Tang Yan.

The pay for the two was not high, only 20 million in total, and was suppressed by Boss Zhao.

After listening to Hu Ge and several other main actors' opinions on the script, Li Mingyang knocked on the table and said, "Have you all read the novel?"

Everyone nodded.

"The script adds several new characters based on the novel, mainly to develop side plots and expand the plot, but the most important thing is the emotional entanglement between the male and female protagonists."

"Tang Yan, just play a silly and innocent girl, with a passive personality, who can't express her love, and must bow her head when she laughs... Hu Ge, don't act like a second-rate person. You need to be cold, stern-faced, affectionate, and have a more drawn look in your eyes."

"You should read more novels about overbearing CEOs recently. Gu Man, please recommend some to Hu Ge."

"As for you guys, just come normally. Your interpretation of the characters is pretty accurate. Relax a little, be more natural, and memorize your lines. I don't think there will be any problem."

"Okay, the meeting will end here, all the screenwriters will stay."

There are three screenwriters for Love Between You and Me. One is from Huace, who is mainly responsible for typing, changing lines, and being a fire-fighting screenwriter, or script doctor.

The main screenwriter is Gu Man, and her good friend Mo Bao Fei Bao.

The two girls were typing so slowly... just like him.

Gu Man and Mo Bao Fei Bao are the two top screenwriters of sweet pet dramas.

Anything produced by Gu Man must be of high quality.

The calligraphy is not a treasure, but it is not bad either.

The original author and screenwriter of Dear Love and Zhou Shengrugu.

He has served as the screenwriter for "Scarlet Heart" and "Fall in Love with You".

There are countless sweet pet stories, and all of Gu Manyeng’s stories are hits, making her the darling of the times.

Mobao Feibao is not as good as Gu Man, but Gu Man is the only sweet pet writer who can surpass her.

The original novel of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" has only 110,000 words.

If it is to be turned into a TV series, it must be expanded.

A TV series episode is about 40 minutes long, usually with 30 to 40 scenes, and the word count is to . This is just an average standard and cannot cover everything.

The original novel has only 110,000 words and only ten episodes.

Huace’s requirement is at least forty episodes, which is four times the number.

Sweet pet dramas are easy to shoot, but the most difficult part is the script!
Sweet pet dramas are the most rhythm-intensive dramas, more so than short dramas and even more so than movies...

Gu Man’s sweet writing looks simple, but it is actually not easy to write.

Sweet stories cannot have a strong plot, so all the effort goes into setting up the details of the plot on the emotional line. Once the rhythm is not well grasped, it can easily make people feel tired.

This is reflected in the TV series, where the audience loses the motivation to continue watching.

Sweet pet dramas are all about pulling, character setting, identity, and sweetness...

There must be both routines and anti-routines.

The routines and anti-routines are interspersed, allowing people to feel the pleasure of the routines as well as the unexpected surprises of the anti-routine. To a certain extent, it alleviates the dullness of the sweet pet drama and makes the rhythm appear more ups and downs.

This requires a lot of skill from the screenwriter.

The main plot of Love Between You and Me is undoubtedly successful.

But how to make the side plot interesting and watery depends on the screenwriter's ability.

Common water plots, such as memories and flashbacks.

The plot is filled with a large number of memories and flashbacks, especially the memories that often appear in the second half of the TV series. The audience is easily immersed in memories, accompanied by black and white or yellow filters and sad background music.

For example, adding drama and side plots.

It means adding drama to the supporting characters to extend the side plots. Some side plots are even as long as the main plot, which is equivalent to watching two TV series. For example, every supporting character in "Three Lives Three Worlds" has a complete love story and revenge story.
For example, add comedy segments, passionate scenes, fighting scenes, and dialogue scenes.

Joy of Life 2 is just crazy water, and the watery plot hardly advances at all. They are afraid that if they shoot too much plot, there will be nothing left to shoot in the future.

It's a sweet pet story with a light plot, focusing on interaction and pulling.

Li Mingyang can no longer remember the plot of the original version of Why Sheng Xiaomo, he only remembers that it looked quite sweet at the time... On the contrary, he still remembers the three-line rhythm and the strong plot of The Great River...
