Chapter 765: Final Shot
The news that Team A won the first round spread as soon as the results came out.
After all, the playback volume of the pure stage version is public, and the audience can always check it in real time.
It can be said that after the main program was finished and the pure enjoyment version of the stage was uploaded, A Team's playback volume has always been in the leading position among several groups of trainees.
And this leading advantage continued until the end of the PK.
The resources and rewards that the winners of the first round can get are also informed to the trainees when the rules of the next PK are announced.
One of the more important points is the right to choose songs first.
The second round is different from the debut songs prepared by each company for the trainees.
For the songs in the first round of performance, each trainee had practiced for a long time, and with complete concepts and designs, they finally presented a highly completed performance.
But in the second round, what is tested more is the trainees' hard power.
Within a limited time, the trainees are given random song selections and choreography, allowing them to digest a new song in a relatively short period of time and complete the performance through live broadcast.
In this round, the program team basically selected songs from the works of artists who have already debuted from various companies, and adapted some more famous songs for the trainees to choose from.
This is definitely a big test for the trainees.
Since Jiang Yuan Studio consists almost entirely of Jiang Yuan, Lu Qing's songs are indeed not suitable for a girl group.
So in the end, we chose a single from Jiang Yuan’s Korean album for adaptation.
Winning the first round gives Team A the priority to choose songs in this session.
Under the gaze of other trainees, Team A chose Jiang Yuan's song without hesitation.
On the one hand, based on the degree of liking for the songs, even though it was an adapted version of the song, the trainees still liked Jiang Yuan’s song more.
On the other hand, from a more utilitarian point of view, among the many songs, Jiang Yuan's song is also the most popular one in recent times.
In addition to the right to choose songs first, the first-place group will also be able to receive more stage funding support and will be more secure in terms of stage design.
After all, the reason why the choreography for the first round was so outstanding was because each company contributed funds for the preparation.
Since the adapted songs are from Jiang Yuan's album, Jiang Yuan would provide guidance from time to time via video links during the preparation process for this stage.
Share some things to note when performing this piece.
At the same time, within the scope of conditions permitted, Jiang Yuan also provided some guidance on some small techniques such as stage movements that would help with performance.
During this period, the filming of "Detective Chinatown" gradually reached its final stage.
Although the filming of the movie is quite intensive, it is tiring but also fun for the actors.
It's not only because of the sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a day's work, but also because there are many comedy elements in the movie, which makes the filming process quite joyful.
When there was not much time left in the final shooting period, Jiang Yuan also stayed with He Jing to chat about topics such as the progress of the film.
Jiang Yuan has the title of screenwriter after all, so He Jing will discuss many topics directly with Jiang Yuan.
"Which of these two versions do you think is better?"
At this time, the two of them were sitting in front of the monitor watching some of the clips they had previously shot.
Due to the schedule constraints, the post-production work of the film has begun while filming is going on.
Since many scenes require multiple takes, it is necessary to select the materials before starting post-production.
This is not too difficult for Jiang Yuan to choose, unless it is a version where everyone's performance is almost the same when shooting on both sides.
Otherwise, you can always pick out the version that better suits the storyline and the atmosphere of the movie.
As usual, after making a choice based on his own standards, Jiang Yuan also started chatting with He Jing.
"After the more intensive filming is finished next week, we'll take a look in the next two or three days to see if there are any missing clips. After some additional filming, we can almost declare the filming complete." He Jing flipped through the schedule and explained the arrangements for the next filming.
Among He Jing's several filmings, the filming of "Detective Chinatown" was definitely the fastest to be completed.
The total shooting time was probably only a little over a month.
Although the shooting time was short, it is definitely among the best in terms of production quality.
"We really need to check it carefully, otherwise the cost of reshooting later will be too high." After hearing the progress report from He Jing, Jiang Yuan nodded and said.
After all, the filming was done abroad, and if there are any omissions, it would cost too much to fly again.
For example, this time when the crew was shooting some scenes on the street, they paid a certain amount of money to the shops along the street.
"I understand," He Jing nodded slightly, "But if we are going for the Spring Festival this time, I think we can announce it after the filming is finished."
Different from last year's temporary joining of the Spring Festival battle, this time He Jing is obviously preparing to prolong the battle line and announce his entry in advance.
After all, during the period of "The Invisible Guest", there were still some doubts about He Jing's performance in the field of suspense films.
But with such a good example before, the audience already had high expectations for "Detective Chinatown" when the press conference was held earlier.
The most important thing is that during the filming process, He Jing gradually built up confidence in this movie.
Some of the clips that have been shot have not yet been post-produced and don't even have background music added.
But when He Jing himself was reviewing the film, he thought it was quite good.
Not to mention that the subject matter of this movie is similar to that of the previous one, it seems like it was specially made for the Spring Festival.
“By then there won’t be much time left until the film is released, so it’s not impossible to start promoting it.” Jiang Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
It only took a few months from the completion of the film to its release.
It is a relatively common practice to carry out publicity and warm-up during such a period of time.
In particular, the start of filming and Reuters of "Detective Chinatown" are topics that have attracted quite a lot of attention recently.
Taking advantage of the heat of the completion of filming, it is expected to be released during the Spring Festival, which will obviously attract a lot of attention.
"Let's not talk about this for now. How is the preparation for the film you are going to direct going?" After He Jing and Jiang Yuan finished discussing topics related to "Detective Chinatown 3", he also began to ask about the project Jiang Yuan was preparing.
During the filming process, in addition to his duties as an actor, Jiang Yuan also paid close attention to the work of the director.
Seeing Jiang Yuan's concern, He Jing also paid more attention. "For now, let's just make some preliminary preparations for the script." Jiang Yuan replied.
The filming work is quite busy, so it is quite difficult for Jiang Yuan to find time to write some text.
"It's hard to say if other people are the directors, but I think it will definitely work if you are the director."
"From the script you gave me, I can already tell that some of the scenes seem to have been anticipated in your mind."
"This way, if you direct a play, your style will definitely be clearer." He Jing praised Jiang Yuan a few words.
Jiang Yuan touched his nose when he heard this.
From a certain perspective, what He Jing said was indeed correct. Jiang Yuan even had an idea of what the finished movie would look like in his mind.
However, Jiang Yuan feels that in order to complete a better replica, a certain level of skill is still required.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many awkward-looking remakes.
In Jiang Yuan's opinion, even if He Jing was a relatively good director, he would still feel a little unsure if Jiang Yuan had to do it alone.
"I think I still need some help." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said to He Jing.
The meaning of the message is naturally that they want He Jing to introduce some more reliable teams.
"What type of script is yours?" He Jing asked upon hearing this.
"Let me show you the script." Jiang Yuan opened his phone and pulled out the script, then handed it to He Jing. He added, "You should have read this story too."
"It's actually adapted from this book." He Jing took the phone and took a look at it, also a little surprised.
This time, Jiang Yuan is going to direct and perform the play himself, which is also an adaptation of the classic book "Love Letter" that was released earlier.
"Love Letter" is a very classic movie. Jiang Yuan naturally did not want to waste such a script and planned to film it.
"If it's this one, I can think of a photography that might go well with this style." After knowing it was the movie "Love Letter", He Jing had a general understanding of the story. After thinking about it for a while, he began to introduce it to Jiang Yuan.
"Are there any works that you filmed before? Where are you and are you available?" Jiang Yuan, who is currently short of people, is in a state of eagerness to recruit talents.
"I'll find it for you." He Jing said as he started to look through the relevant contact information on his mobile phone.
After the question "and the producer of the film" was raised, Jiang Yuan did not hesitate at all and started to report all the vacancies in his team to He Jing.
"." He Jing was silent for a moment, "How about I just put together a team for you?"
"It's not impossible. I trust you to do the job." Jiang Yuan thought about it and suddenly felt that it was quite feasible.
Although it was not realized in the end, after a chat with He Jing, Jiang Yuan did get a list of a dozen contacts.
So sometimes, personal connections are still quite important. For example, Zhang Qing and other studio employees are not that professional in this regard after all, and the progress of recruiting is slow, which makes it difficult for Jiang Yuan to be a hands-off boss.
But as for He Jing, Jiang Yuan felt relieved.
-
A few days passed quickly and most of the scenes of "Detective Chinatown" were finished.
There are still a few relatively important scenes left, among which is the final conversation between Qin Feng and Sinuo in the ward.
This scene is very soulful, not only for the role played by Ye Xuanqi, but also for the entire movie.
Before the filming began, Ye Xuanqi also pulled Jiang Yuan to concentrate on rehearsing the scenes several times.
"How was your performance just now? Was it good?" After finishing one of the repetitions, Ye Xuanqi asked Jiang Yuan.
"Amazing!" Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up without hesitation.
The scene we just rehearsed was the same scene that Ye Xuanqi had auditioned for.
When Jiang Yuan watched the audition clip before, he already felt that Ye Xuanqi's performance was excellent.
But it seems that after working with the crew for a while to hone her acting skills, Ye Xuanqi's performance has improved significantly.
Jiang Yuan was so immersed in it just now that he couldn't help but shudder.
"Then I feel relieved." Ye Xuanqi breathed a sigh of relief.
During the filming of "Detective Chinatown", Ye Xuanqi's performance has always received relatively positive praise.
But Ye Xuanqi herself is still somewhat unconfident. She feels that there is still some gap between her and other professional actors, and is worried that she will fall behind.
During the filming, Ye Xuanqi also shared this feeling with Jiang Yuan.
As soon as Jiang Yuan saw Ye Xuanqi's expression and thought about it for a moment, he could guess what Ye Xuanqi was thinking at that moment.
"You actually acted very well. If you say I'm unprofessional, I haven't taken many acting classes yet." Jiang Yuan said.
Ye Xuanqi and Jiang Yuan looked at each other and could tell that these were not words of comfort, and a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
"The live broadcast of "The Princess" is about to begin, and the camera for the reaction live broadcast has been set up." When the two were chatting, Zhang Qing interrupted the conversation.
At this time, the two had not yet set out for the set and were still staying at their residence.
Before the filming officially started, Jiang Yuan was also prepared to participate in the live recording of "The Princess" via a live connection.
After all, the presidents of other entertainment companies have gone to the recording site in person, so Jiang Yuan feels that he should participate a little even if it is in the form of a video.
Jiang Yuan stood up, thought for a moment, and asked Ye Xuanqi, "Do you want to take a look together?"
"Is it okay?" Ye Xuanqi was stunned for a moment.
"There shouldn't be too many shots. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Jiang Yuan said after thinking for a while.
Although they are online guests, Jiang Yuan feels that this online format should not be much different from being an online audience.
"Then I'll send a message." Ye Xuanqi sent a message to her agent to report, and appeared under the camera with Jiang Yuan.
At the same time, there is a relatively large display screen in front of you, where you can watch the live broadcast of "The Princess".
"This will make it seem like our company has more people." Jiang Yuan said after letting Ye Xuanqi sit down next to him.
The live broadcast screen also allows you to see the two people's current small split-screen images, which somewhat seems to be supporting the trainees.
