Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Chick Project
As "The Forgotten Whisper" set off waves of popularity, there was a lot of discussion about it in the outside world.
Because Star Chart Theater strictly prohibits unauthorized filming, the audience can only use words to express the perfect audio-visual experience on the scene.
[Before entering the venue, I told my friends that no matter how good this musical is, it is not a loss to come to this show with the activities and materials in the hall. Who would have thought that the activities in the hall are just activities, how can they be compared with the main film? Who can understand the goose bumps on my body when I heard the first line of the singing. 】
【Although I have listened to all the theaters in China, I have rarely heard live performances with such good sound recording as Star Atlas. The cast's ability plus the excellent range of the venue make it a real shame not to come! 】
【No kidding, I can really feel goosebumps on my body after listening to the whole show. 】
【And the seat allocation is very reasonable! Although I bought a seat in the back row because of the budget, there is no dead spot, so I don't have to worry about appreciating bad music. 】 【
Oh my god, it is worthy of being a troupe that has been touring for ten years. Everyone's performance is amazing. 】
【The theater is really generous. The materials they provided are genuine. I had a lot of them in my hands before I even entered the venue. After the show, they even set up a raffle box at the door. Who knows, I won a large poster, which I took a super beautiful photo of. 】
【I won the right to buy tickets at the Star Chart Theater at a 40% discount. I hope Star Chart can help and invite all the shows I like to watch! 】
【Ah, stop talking about it. Please be nice to those of us who didn’t get tickets. I’m really worried. Who knows the pain of not getting tickets when the tour is about to end? 】
【Just because I hesitated for a moment, I didn't get a ticket on the first day. After that, I didn't even have the chance to hesitate to get a ticket...】
The popularity of "The Forgotten Whisper" is higher than the crew originally imagined. Although the Star Map has a similar impact and stopped promoting it in the later period, the number of people rushing to enter the venue has increased instead of decreased. Many people outside the venue wailed that they couldn't get a ticket.
Not to mention the blogger [v我五十] who worked hard to edit the video.
Lu Jiao and Chi Wei stared at the ticket-grabbing interface in front of them, and they pointed at each other almost at the same time.
"Is it your bad luck that was passed down to me!"
"Your hand speed is too slow!"
After saying this at the same time, the two stared at each other in disbelief for a moment, and finally Lu Jiao hugged herself distressedly: "Okay, it's all my fault." She was unlucky and her hand speed was slow. It was her own fault. In the end, she couldn't even get a ticket for her own theater. If she had known that Mr. Li would give her a free ticket at the beginning, she would have agreed. There would be no sorrow of not being able to get a ticket later.
"...Did I accidentally disturb something?"
Mr. Li walked over, looked at the two people who were hugging each other affectionately, and glanced at their busy studios. Although the two stayed in the corner, they were in front of the public. Was this behavior too arrogant?
Chi Wei let go of his hand, and Lu Jiao explained, "We were just comforting each other."
Mr. Li laughed and expressed his disbelief, but he didn't dwell on it for too long. He said happily, "The crew said they were very satisfied with our promotion this time, and they especially liked the on-site layout this time. They will recommend other crews to perform here. There are many news online saying that they didn't get tickets this time and want the crew to come here for the tour next time. The crew said they can consider it. Think about it."
Mr. Li, who had no idea that he had won the heart of the ticket owner, continued: "Now some small drama groups have also applied to us. What do you think the big theater will do in the future?"
Lu Jiao patted the seat next to her and motioned Mr. Li to sit down and talk. Although Mr. Li hurt her heart, he didn't want him to stand there all the time. Mr. Li subconsciously glanced at Chi Wei. Chi Wei didn't look at him, but took out his mobile phone and searched for something.
He raised his eyebrows and sat down next to Lu Jiao leisurely.
Lu Jiao said: "This big theater was built rather suddenly."
Mr. Li hummed. He really felt that one day someone suddenly told him that Xingtu was going to build a big theater, and then it started construction at an unexpected speed.
She paused: "But during the construction and this period of time, I actually had some ideas. Although our theater is built very well, I am not particularly short of money. I saw that the company had hoarded a wave of young screenwriters before, and after I took over, there was no place to use them, or the places to use them were relatively few."
Mr. Li helped her clarify: "In fact, the company has never used them before. It was purely the previous boss's impulse."
This involves the issue of Qisheng's legacy. At that time, the chairman wanted to implement the "Chicken Plan" in the company, which was mainly to train some screenwriters and directors and cultivate his own team. However, he overestimated the company's liquid assets and ended up recruiting a wave of screenwriters and nothing happened afterwards.
In the later period, some ambitious screenwriters left and some stayed. When Xingtu took over, there were only about 15 screenwriters left. When Lu Jiao took over, he thought these screenwriters would be useful in the future, so he did not dismiss all of them. When he saw a group of acquaintances that needed a screenwriter, he would fill the position with people in the company.
As a result, although these screenwriters worked hard, they never had room to apply. Chi Wei was both the director and screenwriter of this movie. Lu Jiao only needed a top-ranked screenwriter in the company to join the group, but the specifics of the remaining 14 people were not officially determined until the next few days.
"Let them write the script for the drama," Lu Jiao expressed his idea. "All the scriptwriters we recruited at that time were newcomers. Only one experienced one was brought in by me. Our theater is usually empty except for the very fine drama performances. Why not let them write the script for the drama? One is to exercise their ability to write a play, and the other is to see whose script is most praised and the company will give out the reward." "We can use their scripts to adapt them into TV series or movies."
After Lu Jiao finished speaking, Chi Wei showed the things he had just searched on his phone: "These screenwriters are usually very hard-working and will send script manuscripts to the scriptwriting department, but the company does not have enough staff to start filming at the same time, so it is better to give the right of adaptation to the audience and let them choose the most suitable script for adaptation."
Mr. Li looked at this and that.
Finally, he nodded.
Of course, this is just an idea at present. How to implement it, such as how to select drama actors, how to price and how to promote... these are all things to be discussed next.
Although Mr. Li complained about his boss's too many ideas before leaving, he was still very happy in his heart. For a workaholic, nothing makes him happier than the start of a new project.
The people in the scriptwriting department were the first to know about the restart of the "Chinnee Project".
Most of them were selected by Qisheng from various universities. Although they experienced a wave of boss changes in the middle of the term, the new boss is much better than the previous boss, and they have more opportunities to experience a lot of big crews. The company also pays generously, so none of them want to leave.
Gao He, who was previously in the script department, was a senior in the department, but she was taken away by President Lu to be the script writer for "Ghost Detective", so the second-ranked script writer in the department took over as the second-ranked boss in the department.
"So what is the company's idea?"
"My sister told me that this plan was proposed by President Lu," said a girl who got along well with senior executives and had a lively personality.
Another boy pushed his glasses and said, "The advantage is that we have the ability to present a complete script, but it's a play."
"Play... there's another advantage you didn't mention. If there's a suitable play script, the top management will invest in it, and it can be adapted into a movie or a TV series. And if you successfully direct a play, the company will give you this amount."
The person who spoke silently stretched out a number that silenced everyone present.
"Let's do it!"
Of course it's not for the money, it's their dream to have their own script presented on the screen!
While the screenwriters were excited, Ghost Detective was not idle either.
As a supernatural book, although the scene is very well set up, some magic can't be created out of thin air. Even the most realistic scene is different from what the human eye sees. The movie needs to exaggerate the scene, which requires a good special effects team.
