Chapter 75 Let’s make a sitcom!
Recording is going smoothly.
Gou Minghua concentrated on singing, and Lin Mo gave him some advice from time to time to help him find the feeling.
Xiao Wei and Zhang Wen discovered that Lin Mo knew exactly what to present.
It was like he had a complete picture and a finished product in his mind, and he made adjustments bit by bit based on it.
The atmosphere and details are well captured.
As the first wave of listeners.
The two of them are quite knowledgeable, but they have never seen this style of music before.
The more I get to know him, the more I realize how unfathomable his talent is!
Gou Minghua is also getting better.
You know what, at the beginning Xiao Wei thought that Lin Mo asked him to come just to make up the numbers.
But now, rap and classical music are colliding.
The song presents thrilling and suspenseful movie scenes.
Xiao Wei began to admire Lin Mo's ability to judge and train people.
You are worthy of it, Lao Lin.
The little cow is riding a rocket, it’s so awesome!
As expected of me, Mr. Xiao.
I'm so lucky to have such friends!
Zhang Wen was distracted by them for so long that he almost forgot his own business.
After the two of them had worked together on the script of "Wulin Waijia", they went home and gave the script to Zhang Xuejun.
I would like to ask him for some reference.
After all, this book format is relatively new and involves too many characters.
They had no experience and were worried that two people couldn't carry the team.
When Mr. Zhang heard that it was a new script written by Loki, he asked Grandpa to study it together.
"puff!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
"interesting!"
"This teacher Luo is really talented!"
During the process, several people laughed continuously and were very happy.
"Each character has his or her own characteristics and settings. Although the logo's language or image is very templated, in this form, it is simple and clear, and the clashes between characters are even more dramatic!"
“I was very moved after reading this book.”
"Mr. Luo calls this a sitcom, right?"
"It's so fitting, the scenes are simple, and the plot relies more on the quest dialogues to advance, with constant jokes..."
"This idea is very interesting. It's a martial arts comedy about ordinary people in the city, but when magnified, it reflects the entire social reality."
Grandpa Zhang used to work in TV dramas, and he was attracted to this script as soon as he saw it.
“We want to shoot.”
Zhang Wen directly expressed his thoughts.
"If you two want to film this, I suggest you find a better crew and an assistant director who can take charge. Don't underestimate the simple scene, but this project is quite a big deal."
"And the actors, are you planning to have guest appearances for many of the roles?"
"right."
"But you need traffic, and you have to find some celebrities, and there are quite a few of them, which is quite difficult."
"Uh-huh, Dad, can Grandpa help us find some?"
"...You're plotting against me. I can find some that I can, but I guess you'll have to think about it. It's hard to find someone of the right stature."
"I'd like to recommend a crew to you. We've worked together a few times before, and the assistant director is quite capable."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa."
The Zhang family not only approves of Lin Mo, but also of this book.
Dad even wanted to invest some money, but Zhang Wen didn't dare to make the decision and had to discuss it with Lin Mo first.
I had almost used up all the resources I had, so I took advantage of the weekend to come see Lin Mo.
Back to the weekend.
After experiencing the famous scene of Lin Mo falling off his horse.
The song is almost recorded.
Finally it was my turn to talk about the script.
"My grandfather introduced me to a crew working on the 'Wulin Wai Zhuan' script. I went over to take a look. They often produce period dramas, so they're quite experienced with costumes and props. The assistant director is quite capable, so we can save a lot of trouble on management. Would you like to go and take a look someday?"
"No need, you are more professional than me."
"My dad recommended some guest appearances to me. You need to take a look. There aren't enough of them. We need a huge number of guest appearances!"
"It has to be you!"
Lin Mo gave Zhang Wen a thumbs up. He originally wanted to ask Zhang's father for some advice, but it turned out that the crew and actors had already taken it into consideration.
I feel embarrassed to praise Zhang Wen.
"Hehehe, my family all likes this book very much. My dad asked you to see if he can play the role of Old Xing."
"Xing Yusen?"
"Okay!"
Lin Mo agreed immediately.
He has seen Zhang Xuewen's plays.
He is a professional and talented player who can attack or defend, and his rhythm and depth are just right.
Coming to do comedy is a dimensionality reduction attack!
Good actors, come to my bowl!
"Also, my dad said this is probably going to be a high investment. You can do the math first."
"Yeah, let me see if Xingyao is interested first. We still lack channels to negotiate with the TV station."
"Yes, that's also a problem. If Xingyao is willing, then finding a guest star might be much easier."
"I want to go talk to them. If Xingyao is willing to join, then our game will be almost complete. We can discuss investment and casting later."
"OK."
"What TV show are you talking about?"
"I want to make a cameo appearance too!!"
Xiao Wei is the type who goes wherever there's fun, but when he hears there's a guest star, he squeezes over.
"Okay, okay, I'll save the role for you youngsters."
"Wulin Waijia" itself is also very lively, and I will show you enough at once.
"Mr. Li, I have a TV drama project and would like to see if your company is interested."
When Li Rongjia heard that Teacher Kobayashi had taken the initiative to invite her, she had to take a closer look.
After reading it, I was surprised and sent the script to the film and television department immediately.
The next day, Zhang Jun (head of the Film and Television Department), Han Yan (producer of the previous film "Pirates of Gadby"), Liu Jun (shareholder and first-level composer) and several main leaders of the Film and Television Department gathered together.
The theme of the meeting is [Feasibility Assessment of the TV Series "Wulin Waijia" Project]
"Has everyone seen it? What do you think?"
"Martial arts, comedy, dialect, social metaphors...it has a strong resonance and appeal to the general public!"
"I have no doubt about the story. It's very interesting. I've never seen a TV series like this before. It's called a sitcom, right?"
"We haven't seen this type of film in Daxia much. I've seen it in the West before. It's called a situational comedy. It usually has a fixed cast and one or more story lines. It takes place in one or more fixed settings, such as family, workplace, campus..."
Han Yan often introduces film and television dramas and has some research on Western culture and film and television works.
"The main part of 'Wulin Wai Zhuan' is the Tongfu Inn, with a courtyard in the back, a kitchen, Tong Xiangyu's room, the street in front of the door, the roof..."
"There are no more than 10 scenes, and the main actors are relatively fixed."
"The difficulty lies in the guest actors. There are 80 episodes and over 60 guest actors!"
"And if you want traffic, then it's best to find someone who's suitable for the role and has some status. I guess that's why you chose Xingyao, right?"
"That's what I thought. The investment only needs 10 million. But we can't use the money."
“And the distribution channels…”
"Can I ask why they came to our company?"
At this time Liu Jun suddenly asked.
He thought deeply about it. The investment was not large, the script was mature, and the other party already had a crew.
Why did you choose Xingyao instead of New Language or Volkswagen?
"The director and screenwriter are friends of Mr. Iron Man. They were the ones who made the previous film 'I Photographed Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City'!"
"Oh! I see!"
Liu Jun was happy, as he had admired this great man for a long time.
The balance in my heart immediately tilted.
For several people to collaborate on a project, everyone must be able to produce something.
Lin Mo can provide the creativity and script, and Zhang Wen can provide the crew and director.
And Star Glory can make up for the guest actors and distribution channels that they lack.
Several people basically passed it unanimously. This is a very novel and good script.
"Then the only thing left is the form of cooperation. We can first see what guest appearances we can find. The distribution channels should not be a problem. Once everything is ready, I will see if I can get the other party to come over to discuss in detail."
"Wulin Waijia" project plan released!
