Chapter 246 Director Zhang is online: "Love Apartment" is online
"Shumo, you can be a little more exaggerated..."
"Mengmeng, go a little crazier, move like a mad rabbit..."
"Tianyi, no matter how silly and naive you are, you are a naive and innocent rich girl..."
"Yihao, your expression should be very mean..."
On a film set, Su Yang was busy. This was his first time directing a TV series, and he quickly got into the swing of things. After all, Su Yang had the system, and he'd learned a lot on his own during this time. He had a clear idea of how to film this TV series.
Compared to Su Yang who was in the right state, others were not so smooth because the actors in this drama were almost all amateurs.
Faced with these laymen, Su Yang could only patiently train and guide them bit by bit, and personally demonstrate. At this moment, Su Yang could only sigh in his heart that he had brought this upon himself. Although he was using his own people, it was too tiring.
Fortunately, the investment isn't huge, so I'm not in a rush. Plus, the pay for these people is pretty cheap. Just treat it like a joke, and take it one step at a time.
"Love Apartment" was the first TV drama Su Yang redeemed. The reason for choosing this drama was simple: compared to other TV series, it had a smaller investment and didn't require high acting skills from the actors, making it the perfect place to test the waters.
Now, the TV series has officially started, and the actors in it are almost all our own people.
The most interesting thing is that in the end, the role of Zeng Xiaoxian actually fell to Zhu Yihao. In order to make money with Su Yang, this little fat guy really gritted his teeth and persevered.
Now, the little fat boy has successfully lost weight. After losing weight, the little fat boy looks 80% similar to the original actor who played Zeng Xiaoxian. And his sassy expression is even sassier than the original.
In this way, the little fat man was lucky enough to be signed by Tang Qing to Qingyao Media and became a signed artist of Qingyao Media.
Zhu Yihao plays Zeng Xiaoxian, Yang Mengmeng plays Hu Yifei, Qin Shumo plays Lu Ziqiao, Gu Kai plays Lu Zhanbo, and Tang Tianyi plays Lin Wanyu.
The other characters were selected by Su Yang from several art universities in Yanjing. They can be considered lucky.
Su Yang knew the power of this drama. Initially, he planned to use only his own people. However, he only had so many people around him. He used everyone from the first season of Metamorphosis who he could.
As for the other girl group members, they are not really willing to develop in the entertainment industry. The reason is simple: their parents hope that they can inherit the family business.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and Su Yang naturally has to respect their opinions. As for the girl group, for a few people now, it is just a way to make some private money.
Besides, now they are all provincial agents and shareholders of Su Xiaobai, and each of them can make a lot of money every month just by relying on Su Xiaobai.
With all the cast being either newbies or college students, filming with such a lineup naturally couldn't be fast. Fortunately, this was a sitcom, and the acting wasn't very demanding, nor did it require any scene changes. With Su Yang's slow guidance, everyone gradually got into the groove.
"Ka, let's stop here for today's filming."
Finally, in the midst of the busy day, the filming finally came to an end. Su Yang sat on the chair and drank a sip of water, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Damn, being a director is really not easy.
My throat was sore after a day of this. It was especially hard to come by these unskilled actors; they were all like stonewalled creatures. Other crews might have one or two stonewalled creatures, but on iPartment, there were a ton of them.
Originally, Su Yang had planned to film all four seasons in one go if everything went smoothly. But given the current situation, Su Yang had given up on that idea. These blockheads, after filming the first season, were immediately retrained. Every single one of them needed to go to a special training class. With their acting skills, they'd be a disgrace to the people at Qingyao Media.
"How's it going?"
Tang Qing walked into the set and saw Su Yang drinking water and asked with a smile.
"It's okay. I've finally gotten the hang of it these past two days."
Su Yang complained, and seeing Su Yang's helpless look, Tang Qing couldn't help but laugh. Su Yang, you have come to this day too. Now Tang Qing's favorite scene is Su Yang getting humiliated.
"Well, don't worry too much. We're not in a hurry anyway. Let's take our time."
Tang Qing smiled and said that this drama was made in her spare time. Even director Su Yang was a bit of a slacker. After all, Su Yang's current focus was still on "Su Yang Show," and he also had a wife who was pregnant with quadruplets.
Moreover, the girl group’s second album is already in production, which Su Yang also has to worry about, and he also needs to care about Su Xiaobai’s affairs occasionally.
Although Tang Qing was busy most of the time, Su Yang couldn't avoid the things that required his help.
Fortunately, Tang Qing and Su Yang have gradually moved on from the girl group. Years ago, Tang Qing had used a series of operations to remove herself and Su Yang from the group. Of course, this was only a superficial removal; behind the scenes, through a series of operations, the money earned by the girl group still went into the pockets of Su Yang and Tang Qing.
Now, Dreamtime's fame is growing.
The Japanese album sold very well in Japan, which also made Dream Era very famous in Japan. And in Korea, the popularity is even greater.
Although Dream Era has not released any new albums, people still see them frequently because Dream Era has taken on many advertisements in Korea, especially Samsung’s advertisements. With the promotion of Samsung Empire, Dream Era is now very popular.
Especially Jiang Yunze, who was promoted as the most beautiful woman in Korea. She is very popular. She is the captain and has a high appearance. In addition, the Korean media deliberately promoted her, so Jiang Yunze is now very popular.
Such high popularity also made Wang Yunze a cash cow. During this period, many Japanese manufacturers came to cooperate with him, and some specifically asked Jiang Yunze to take the advertising.
Wang Yunze was both happy and miserable in this situation. Every time he saw the money coming into his account, he felt torn. What if this got exposed? This was practically selling his body for money, but looking at the extra money in his bank card, Wang Yunze couldn't bear to part with it.
This is a deep pit, getting deeper and deeper.
Almost everyone believed this bomb would explode sooner or later. As Dream Era's fame grew, more and more people dug up information about them. Truth will inevitably come to light; it was only a matter of time.
The more mysterious Dream Era is, the more curious people become. Su Yang also sensed this, so now he was rushing to release some albums as quickly as possible to make some money and take on advertising whenever possible. However, the breach of contract clause had to specify that even if the news broke, only a certain amount of endorsement fees would be refunded.
As for when the scandal would break out, Su Yang could only wait and see. According to the plan, Qin Ziran, Yang Mengmeng, and Tang Tianyi would withdraw from Dream Era after the second album was released.
Taking advantage of the peak of popularity, they will directly return to China for development. Qin Ziran's identity will disappear directly at that time, and Yang Mengmeng and Tang Tianyi will directly return to China for development by leveraging the popularity of the girl group.
As for Wang Yunze and the others, they will continue to develop as a girl group, and then slowly withdraw. In the end, it would be normal even if they disband the girl group and announce to go solo.
In short, the future of the girl group is up to fate. Anyway, the girl group isn't developing in China, and Su Yang isn't planning to develop in Korea, so let it go. It's not appropriate to disband the girl group now, after all, this cash cow has just grown.
The broadcast of "Su Yang Show" was on schedule, and the production of "Wild Survival" was also not put on hold. After the first episode was filmed, Su Donghai returned to Sanshan Village for a week and then returned to Yanjing.
Grandpa is now living well in Sanshan Village, and Second Uncle takes good care of him. Su Donghai was even more generous when he returned this time. Not only did he buy a lot of things, he also paid for a large renovation company in the county to renovate Second Uncle's house.
At the same time, Su Donghai also planned to demolish his old house and rebuild it. He had no money before, but now that he had money, he naturally wanted to build a better one. Although he didn't go back often, when he did go back in the future, at least he would live more comfortably.
Everyone envied Su Donghai's opportunity. He had just returned from the army and had become a big star with Su Yang. This was simply too lucky, but everyone knew that envy was not an option.
Putting aside the relationship between Su Yang and Su Donghai, just the program that Su Donghai filmed, who in the village could film it? Let alone the village, how many people like him could be found in the whole country?
"Su Yang Xiu" became popular and many people imitated it.
But there's not even one imitator of "Wild Survival" in China right now. Damn, it's just too difficult to imitate. It's hard to find the right people. If ordinary people try this, they could risk their lives.
Time passed quietly, and the filming of "iPartment" became smoother and smoother. In the beginning, it took three or four days to shoot one episode, but later it became almost one episode per day.
The biggest credit for this speed naturally goes to Su Yang. Su Yang used the original work for comparison, so there was no need for too many extra shots. Often, for a scene, Su Yang would carefully explain it, or even demonstrate it once, and then the actors would take their positions and get the feel for it a few times before it was done.
This is the advantage of using a plug-in. Without extra lenses, the shooting speed is fast.
The first season of iPartment finally finished filming after a long delay. It took more than two months, which is not a slow pace.
On the set, everyone cheered after the last shot was over. They had been beaten by Su Yang a lot during this period. Facing this big devil, they really didn't dare to resist at all.
It's true that Yang Mengmeng and the others have experienced Su Yang's methods, but some others haven't. However, Su Yang has a bad reputation, and seeing that the main actors didn't dare to resist, they were even more afraid.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period, but I believe that your hard work is worth it. I'll treat you tonight..."
Su Yang said with a smile, which made everyone cheer.
Although it was hard work, as Su Yang said, the hard work during this period was worth it. Although the TV series has not yet been released, everyone can feel the quality of this TV series.
Especially the classic lines in this TV series, sometimes I laughed countless times during the filming. But these situations can only prove the quality of this TV series.
Whether the audience likes it or not is unknown, but all the actors in the crew like it very much. They all read the script with great interest.
The day after filming of iPartment officially wrapped, Su Yang and his team began editing and post-production. After post-production was complete, Qingyao Media submitted the show directly for review.
"What, a TV series?"
At Yanjing TV Station, Wang Xu was stunned after receiving a call from Tang Qing.
Qingyao Media unexpectedly filmed a TV series without making any noise. Not only that, the director and screenwriter of this TV series are both Su Yang, which is a big gimmick.
Looking at the leading actor, he actually has quite a prominent background.
Yang Mengmeng and Tang Tianyi are members of the most popular Korean girl group Dream Generation. This drama directly brought in two of the three members.
Qin Shumo, currently a regular guest on "Su Yang Show", is the brother-in-law of Qin Shuyao and Su Yang, and is also quite popular. Gu Kai, a member of the first season of Metamorphosis, is also quite famous.
"Let's see first."
Wang Xu immediately made up his mind. He would see whether the show was good or not first. Su Yang really couldn't be viewed with the eyes of an ordinary person. After all, Wang Xu had seen too many miracles in Su Yang.
Without wasting a moment, Wang Xu left the TV station and drove to Qingyao Media.
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Su, it's been a while since we last met."
Wang Xu said politely. Su Yang and Tang Qing smiled slightly and directly invited Wang Xu to sit down.
There were no outsiders in the conference room. At this moment, there were only Wang Xu, Su Yang, and Tang Qing. After Wang Xu arrived, Su Yang directly clicked on the first episode of "Love Apartment" and started playing.
Wang Xu watched carefully and soon laughed out loud.
Interesting, fun, funny...
Before even finishing a single episode, Wang Xu had already formed his opinion of the show. It was an excellent sitcom, marketed towards young people. Furthermore, its audience almost overlapped with that of "Su Yang Xiu."
Because the selling points of the two shows are almost the same, both are very funny and full of golden sentences.
After watching one episode, Wang Xu took a deep breath.
"Director Wang, we originally wanted to open it up to a bid. But Sister Qing said we're old acquaintances and have a good relationship now, so we'll prioritize you for the TV broadcast rights."
Su Yang said with a smile.
Qingyao Media and Yanjing Television now have a very close relationship. According to Tang Qing, since the relationship is so good, they should take advantage of it to further strengthen cooperation.
If Yanjing TV and Qingyao Media could be directly integrated in the future, it would bring many benefits to Qingyao Media. As the capital of China, Yanjing TV has a lot of resources at its disposal. And these connections are not limited to the entertainment industry.
Although Tang Qing's connections were impressive, who in this circle would complain about having a lot of connections? Only by building your own connections could you develop better step by step.
