Chapter 262 The real director competition (55, please recommend and vote monthly)

The creation of "Dragon" has to come to an end first, because after the variety show was finalized, some requirements that needed to be prepared in advance were given to Yang Yi first.

The first one to bear the brunt is, of course, the program "The New Generation of Directors"!
Although Li Mengfei had briefly introduced the program to Yang Yi before, Yang Yi had to wait until the program team contacted her to fully understand the specific competition format.

To put it simply, the program "The New Generation of Directors" requires several new generation directors to shoot short films (or micro-movies), conduct two rounds of PK, and finally decide which one will receive the financial support of their dreams. Director of feature films.

To be more specific, its competition system basically restores the creative process of a movie from scratch! (Note 1)

First of all, the director must have a script himself. The first round is to shoot the script he has prepared. Each director must prepare a script for a short film, whether it is written by himself or created with the screenwriter he collaborates with.

Then the director has to choose actors. The program team has its own pool of actors to sign. The director needs to use his "personality charm" or the appeal of his previous works, or his explanation of the short film he wants to make, to get his favorite actors. Join.

Of course, if you can't find a suitable actor, you don't have to choose one. The director can recruit actors he thinks are suitable.

It can be seen that this program is quite humane, and everything speaks for itself through the works.

However, there is a small problem.

When filming with actors in the actor pool of the program group, no matter how big or small the actor's position is (it is said that there will be very powerful actors in the actor pool, such as movie kings and actresses), there will be no cost in film remuneration. The program group will take care of it, and the director only needs to Just provide lunch boxes for the crew.

"But if I'm not satisfied, or if I don't find an actor I'm satisfied with, I'll have to hire a suitable actor myself. I'll have to pay for the film myself and negotiate the actor's schedule. Is that what you mean?"

Yang Yi asked Jin Longhao, the deputy director sent by the program team to communicate with him.

"Yes, but you don't pay out of your own pocket, Mr. Yang. Instead, you pay with the budget of your short film. The budget was obtained by you and the four producers."

Jin Longhao explained.

Here we’re going to talk about the process of getting investment from the producers after selecting the actors.

The producer mentioned here is actually the investor.

The program "The New Generation of Directors" basically integrates the positions of director, screenwriter, and producer, but it is not difficult to understand. After all, ordinary young directors do not have much help when they first start out. You have to do the work of director, screenwriter, and producer by yourself.

Wasn't this the case when Yang Yi was preparing for "The Hidden Corner" in the early stages?

Before Le Zehan came, he discussed many things with Ye Fuming and several brothers from the "Lost Alliance".

Fortunately, he met Le Zehan!

What a great producer to grow up with!

Yang Yi, who is also one of the partners of Mumu Film and Television, gave the two veterans, Le Zehan and Liao Chunsheng, the original shares of Mumu Film and Television.

Back to the topic, this arrangement of investment is relatively subtle in Yang Yi's opinion, because one of the four "producers" is Yang Yi's "acquaintance", director Shi Yanqiu!
"So, is this part of the investment process just a formality? In fact, it's all scripted."

Yang Yi and Jin Longhao asked bluntly.

"Well, Teacher Yang, we don't have a script. Each producer has his own investment quota, and each director can only be invested by one producer. Your box office is also the result of their investment in the end. There will be a ranking! So considering their honors, the four producers will be cautious about their investment. Teacher Yang, you need to impress the producers through your own explanations and let them give you what you want. Budget."

Jin Longhao explained.

In this way, this show seems to be really serious about competition!

It’s not like acting in a script and making things mysterious for the audience!
Yang Yi suddenly felt that this program had become interesting.

"So I'm going to prepare two scripts? Two rounds of PK?" Yang Yi touched his chin thoughtfully.

He can't touch his beard. Now he shaves every day. Under the care of his wife, he pays great attention to his personal appearance.My chin has become smoother and no longer unshaven like when I was filming a movie in Sichuan.

"We need to prepare the script for the first round of PK first. After the first round of screenings, we will have two data: critic scores and audience box office. After these two data are weighted, we can get a ranking for the first round of PK. Come.

Because the second round is a theme PK, the top four directors are the winners. They can choose the theme they want in the theme library we provide.The last four directors are challengers, and they can only choose among the themes selected by the first four directors in turn, and then form four different arenas in pairs to compete with the short films they shot.

The ranking in the second round is also a weighted calculation based on the film critics' scores and the audience's box office data, but only the winners of each competition will be ranked. The one ranked first will receive funds from our 'New Generation Director Support Program' The investment helped him shoot a theatrical feature film. "

Jin Longhao said.

"So, after the first round, I will choose a theme based on the results of the first round, and then rewrite the script?"

Yang Yi was thoughtful.

"Yes, so the creative time given in the first round is relatively short, more than two weeks. In the second round, the time will be a little longer, six weeks."

Jin Longhao explained.

"Did the two-plus weeks of creation include editing and production?"

Yang Yi touched his chin again.

Time was a little tight, but if it was to make the interesting short film he had seen from Zhang Yi's resume before, it would still be enough time.

"Yes, it also includes promotional materials. This does not need to be promoted online, but you still need to have posters, roll-ups and other materials for your short film that need to be displayed in the cinema."

Jin Longhao nodded.

"Okay, thank you, Director Jin. I have an idea. When will I start recording the show?"

Yang Yi laughed.

"The [-]st, which is the day after tomorrow, Thursday. Teacher Yang, is the time okay?"

Jin Longhao was a little uneasy, worried that Yang Yi wouldn't be ready.

After all, Yang Yi was the last director to be finalized. The other director guests had been decided two or three months ago, and others had more time to prepare.

However, even if Yang Yi raises objections, the recording time will not be postponed.

This is why Jin Longhao is very worried.

If Yang Yi said no, he couldn't give a better solution.

"No problem, I already have an idea."

Yang Yi smiled and shook hands with him.

(Note 1: This variety show actually corresponds to the real-life online variety show "Let's Shoot" in 2021. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. Although Xiaohan arranged the script for Yang Yi and the directors inside The short films are all different, but the competition system is basically the same. "Let's Shoot" and some of the short films in it are indeed very good, although they are not as good at gimmicks and operations as "Director Please Advice", which makes them somewhat niche. , but the best is your hard work, worth a look!)

　Thanks for the reward of Autumn Shenguang! ! (づ￣ 3￣)づ
