Advertising directors are just advertising directors. There is still a big gap between them and ordinary regular directors. What an advertising director can teach Huang Yilin is only the basics. Huang Yilin didn't even have the basics before, but after working together for a period of time, Huang Yilin
He has basically mastered the basics of directing, and the next step is to further hone his directing skills, and at this point, only deeper training can help him.
When Zhang Yicheng mentioned this matter, Li Guoli didn't take long to agree. This kind of situation has happened in the past, but the assistant director is an assistant director. How can he compete with him, a real director? In addition, Zhang Yicheng also promised
, he was just a newbie here to learn, so Li Guoli didn’t take long to agree.
After auditioning for "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", Zhang Yicheng took Yang Guang to Taiwan without stopping. This was Yang Guang's first audition. Although he had already made an agreement with Chai Zhiping, if he failed to get the approval of the final director, then
Everything is in vain. Even Chai Zhiping would not agree to it. There must be a limit to the indiscriminate use of people.
When Zhang Yicheng and Yang Guang arrived in Taiwan, the casting for "Destined to Love You" was already in full swing. The filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" had started for more than half a year, so they could take their time.
A little preparation
But "Destined to Love You" is already destined to start filming after the year. In other words, it only has two months at most to prepare, not much time.
There is a lot of preparation in the early stage. Choosing actors is just one of them. There are also choosing locations, looking for filming locations and houses, etc. These all take time, but the good thing is that "Destined to Love You" is
You can listen to your ears while shooting, so you can first find the props and scenes you need for the pre-shooting, instead of finding them all at once. This is the biggest advantage and can save a lot of time.
When Zhang Yicheng arrived, Chai Zhiping was discussing the choice with director Chen Mingzhang
The choice of director is not so much the choice made after discussions between Chai Zhiping and Zhang Yicheng, but rather Zhang Yicheng strongly recommended Chen Mingzhang for the filming.
If you talk about Chen Mingzhang, maybe not many people really know it, but when it comes to his works, many people should be familiar with it. The 2002 Taiwan idol drama ratings champion: "MVP Lover", the 2005 Taiwan idol drama ratings champion
: "The Prince Turns into a Frog", the 2006 Taiwan idol drama ratings champion: "The Magician", and this year's ratings champion production "Encountering Love Around the Corner"!
Every one of these works is awesome, and only Zhang Yicheng knows that the "Fated to Love You" he later directed set a viewership myth of 10 million people among Taiwan's total population of 23 million. In 2010
In 2007, "Du Lala's Promotion" premiered on Dragon TV's Beijing TV, and once again won the national ratings championship with extremely high ratings. In the same year, "A Single Princess's Dating Story" was broadcast on Hunan TV in September, and still ranked first in the country's ratings.
Brilliant results
But only Zhang Yicheng knows the latter. However, Chen Mingzhang's identity as the original director of "Destined to Love You" is enough for Zhang Yicheng to personally decide that Chen Mingzhang will film it.
However, this drama was not filmed by Tianlan Entertainment. Therefore, it is unlikely that Zhang Yicheng appointed someone to be the director. However, Zhang Yicheng's suggestions also have very important weight.
If it were other people's suggestions, Chai Zhiping wouldn't pay attention to them. She has been the mother of idol dramas for so many years, doesn't she even know who to look for when filming idol dramas?
However, Zhang Yicheng proposed Chen Mingzhang, which coincided with her idea. She also saw Chen Mingzhang's strength, not to mention that Chen Mingzhang had just collaborated with her on the movie "Encountering Love Around the Corner".
This year's success not only made Luo Zhixiang and Big S famous, but also made her a lot of money this year. Du Yu and Chen Mingzhang were naturally very satisfied, so she agreed to Zhang Yicheng's suggestion without much thought.
This is a rare time when the two of them have a tacit understanding and no fight.
Furthermore, even if she is dissatisfied, she must carefully consider Zhang Yicheng's opinion, not only because Zhang Yicheng is an investor in this drama, but if she is only an investor in this drama, then what does she have to worry about, as long as she is not happy?
, then Zhang Yicheng should do whatever he wants. The problem is that the script is in Zhang Yicheng's hands. Zhang Yicheng can regret it at any time, so she has to consider Zhang Yicheng's opinion. Of course, if the two of them agree, it is naturally the best.
Zhang Yicheng came with Yang Guang and said with a smile: "Sister Chai, I brought our artist here. This is my artist, named Yang Guang!"
Seeing Zhang Yicheng coming, Chai Zhiping said with a smile on his face: "Mingzhang, look, the Zhang Yicheng you have been talking about before is here!"
Chai Zhiping joked about Chen Mingzhang, obviously he and Chen Mingzhang are quite familiar with each other. They had a very good relationship during the filming of "Encountering Love at the Corner".
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, hello!" Chen Mingzhang couldn't help but have a flash of surprise on his face when he saw Zhang Yicheng being so young, and then he covered it up very well. Although Chen Mingzhang is not very old, he has experienced a lot.
, and even experienced more than their peers.
He had heard Chai Zhiping mention it inadvertently before. It was precisely because of Zhang Yicheng's suggestion and strength that he was finally chosen to film "Destined to Love You". Otherwise, Chai Zhiping might have used another director.
In fact, Chen Mingzhang has been looking for a breakthrough since he filmed "The Prince Turns into a Frog" a few years ago, because the ratings of the previous "Prince Turns into a Frog" were too high and he filmed several idol dramas in succession, although the ratings were all
It's quite good, but it's obviously quite different from "The Prince Turns into a Frog", which makes him very painful.
Just like James Macron has been in a period of silence since filming "Titanic", because the box office of "Titanic" is an honor for the world's film industry, but it is also a heavy psychological pressure and
The burden, including his own, is that if the filming is not good and cannot surpass "Titanic", then his brand will be ruined. But if it is to surpass "Titanic", how can it be so easy? Think about it,
Ten years have passed since "Titanic" was released, and no film has surpassed "Titanic", nor has it even come close.
It is a masterpiece that can come close to "Titanic" at the box office. It can be seen that James Macron's hesitation was not without reason. It is estimated that when he was filming, he did not expect "Titanic" to be as brilliant as it was.
He completely suppressed the world film industry. For ten years, no one could shake his status.
Similar to the problem faced by James Macron, for Chen Mingzhang, the results of "The Prince Turns into a Frog" were so good that it broke the record for idol dramas in one fell swoop. Several years later, not only did he not be able to
Among the works that have broken this ratings, even others have not been able to break this record. For him, it is an honor, but it is also a huge burden. He does not know how to break through.
But when he saw this script, he had a strong premonition that this drama would definitely rewrite his current embarrassing situation, and it was hard to say if it could even break his own record. Maybe, this drama would be filmed with him.
Judging from the experience of so many years of idol dramas, they are all vaguely moved, not to mention those aunts and girls who sit in front of the TV all day watching soap operas. They will definitely be moved. One story can
If it touches people, doesn’t that mean it’s successful?
Of course, if this drama breaks his record, it will probably be more difficult for him to break it again next time, but who cares about this? Besides, no one would really stop filming because they are afraid of this.
He knows that he has met the right person, he has met a good script, and he has met the right script. For this script, he can turn down script invitations for next year, just to film this story.
This is his idea to present this story in the most perfect state
However, he was able to have this opportunity only because of the young man in front of him. Without Zhang Yicheng's suggestion, he would have really missed this opportunity and missed this opportunity that might have refreshed his personal performance again. Therefore, during this period of time,
He was very grateful to Zhang Yicheng, so he didn't feel angry at all when being teased by Chai Zhiping, but he was quite happy.
"Hello, Director Chen, I have admired you for a long time. I have watched several idol dramas directed by you!" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile. Of course, I have admired you for a long time. If not, how could I recommend it?
Where is Chen Mingzhang?
"Where, where, Mr. Zhang deserves the award!" Chen Mingzhang's face was full of smiles at this time. After all, the young man in front of him not only recommended him for filming, but he was also the boss behind the scenes who controlled the filming of the entire drama.
He is also the provider of this script. He can be said to be the most influential figure in this crew, even above Chen Mingzhang as the director and Chai Zhiping as the producer. Unless he doesn't want to get involved, he will not do it anyway.
Choosing to offend Zhang Yicheng, he has experienced so much over the years, how could he still make such a stupid mistake!
"Director Chen, let me introduce to you. This is my artist, named Yang Guang. I need your attention for future shootings!" Zhang Yicheng didn't care what Chai Zhiping thought, he just took off the protagonist's hat.
