Chapter 136: Competition
They are Gao You, Zhong Houshi and Liu Lin.
And the photographer Zhang Tan.
And the leading actors, the female lead is Li Fei, and the male lead is Du Jun, who are the two actors who shot the public service advertisement.
I have to say that Wang Tai’s vision at the time was extremely sharp.
She picked the best candidate.
In fact, they have found a large number of male and female actors of suitable age in the provincial capital and even across the country.
After searching for a long time, I found that Li Fei and Du Jun were the most suitable.
After all, Wang Tai was originally found based on Gao You's advertising script.
Gao You sometimes inadvertently writes from the perspective of the two actors.
This situation naturally resulted in Li Fei becoming the best candidate for Jiao Yang.
Du Jun is in a similar situation.
Moreover, he doesn't have many roles, and if we find a famous male actor, he may not be willing to come.
Du Jun, on the other hand, was relatively cooperative and didn't mind the role.
After all, he got a chance to star in the troupe just because of that advertisement.
This time, he will not miss the opportunity.
After getting to know all the main creators, the meeting began.
Gao You thought that this meeting was mainly to boost morale and hold a mobilization meeting.
Then after Wang Tai, the producer, director and screenwriter spoke one after another, Gao You discovered that the atmosphere was not right.
It was more of a competition meeting than a mobilization meeting.
In later generations, it is no longer uncommon for people to compete for roles in the entertainment industry.
I didn't expect it to exist in this era.
And it’s not a competition for the leading actors, but a competition for the main creators behind the scenes.
The two producers were obviously not happy that Gao You's name was listed ahead of theirs.
They insisted that she was young and inexperienced and unsuitable to be the producer, and even wanted to remove her title of producer.
The screenwriter who was shoved in also wanted to fight for the position of the third screenwriter.
Now even the good-tempered Mo Huan and the two screenwriters joined the fight.
The assistant director pointed out even more clearly that he believed Wang Lan had no experience in directing TV series and wanted to find another executive director.
They put it in nice words, saying that time was tight and the Second Hospital only had less than a month and a half to lend them for the filming, and the building would be put into use by September at the latest.
By hiring an additional executive director, two groups can shoot simultaneously, saving time.
Director Wang Lan also has a hot temper. She started swearing at the assistant director on the spot and was almost getting into physical combat.
Of course Wang Tai would not let them get any further and he firmly refused to agree and argued with them.
Gao You understood.
This is not a fight for roles, it's a fight for power.
It's a power struggle between Wang Tai and the station director, as well as various parties.
Therefore, Wang Tai has always insisted that Gao Youlai serve as the producer, even though she had to report to Beijing Film Academy halfway through filming.
No matter from which perspective, Gao You naturally has to take the throne.
Gao You leaned back in his chair and looked coldly at everyone in the conference room who were arguing fiercely.
Then she stood up.
He picked up the script and slammed it on the table a few times.
The whole place fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Gao You.
"Everyone, have you forgotten? I wrote the script. I have never taken a penny from the provincial TV station, and I am not a member of the provincial TV station." After they fell silent, Gao You sat down, leaned back in his chair, and reminded them lightly.
"I can take the script away anytime and ask the friendly station next door to shoot it." Gao You said shockingly.
Even Wang Tai looked at Gao You with fear.
Little ancestor, you are so domineering!
Directly remove the firewood from under the cauldron.
They also threatened them with friendly relations with Taiwan.
Well done!
You know, the ratings of friendly channels have reached 80% so far, while the ratings of their provincial channels' self-produced dramas are only 10%.
It can be said that no one cares about it. People would rather watch "Journey to the West" which has been replayed countless times on CCTV than watch dramas on provincial TV stations.
The director was also mocked by the director of a friendly station over the phone, which made him so angry that he almost fainted.
Although the director did not say anything on the surface about the "The Next Day", the fact that he kept stuffing people in shows that he is also betting on this drama.
The provincial TV station hasn't produced a self-produced drama with high ratings for a long time.
Moreover, this time Wang Tai put in a lot of effort to secure a filming location, which saved the station a lot of money.
The famous director Zhen Lai was invited to take charge.
The most important thing is that the script is really good.
As long as it is filmed well, it will definitely be a good drama in the industry that sets a precedent.
Anyone with brains would naturally want to get a piece of the pie.
Wang Tai didn't know how many sleepless nights she had stayed up and how much graying her hair had gone through in the past few months, all for the official start of filming tomorrow.
I didn't expect that there would be such a quarrel today. She must be going crazy!
Fortunately, Gao You is a man who can get things done.
Everyone was stunned by Gao You's words.
Some people gradually came to their senses.
Yes, he is the original screenwriter, but just a student, without a staff position and no salary.
After working for several months for nothing, if she really takes the script away, it seems like there is nothing they can do?
if not?
Can I still grab it?
Oh, are you going to sue someone for taking your work away?
Oh, of course, you can also rewrite the script.
There are plenty of screenwriters.
But there is no time.
They only had a month and a half to film in the new building.
Moreover, all the medical equipment here are the latest and most professional.
There are also professional doctors and nurses who can appear as part of the group performance.
This is truly the most perfect shooting environment.
They simply can't afford to delay.
If the filming is not completed by then, the show will still be scrapped.
Is there any need to take pictures then?
"Comrade Xiao Gao, calm down, we are just exchanging opinions!" Producer Zhong Houshi was the first to react and comforted Gao You.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head.
No one expected Gao You to do this!
It's not a big loss for them if they can't film the drama, after all, they are all getting paid.
But it’s hard to explain to the Master.
The director didn’t say it explicitly in private, but he is clearly concerned about the current low ratings.
If the show is ruined because of such a small thing.
The Master had to put the blame on them.
The Master doesn’t care about your difficulties or secrets.
He only looks at results.
"The weather is too hot. Everyone is just overheated. Calm down, calm down!" The assistant director also came out to smooth things over.
The screenwriter fell silent and shrank back.
"Then it's my turn to speak?" Gao You looked at Wang Tai.
Wang Tai made a gesture of invitation.
Finally, there is someone who can cure these grandsons!
"Three producers are too many, and they tend to talk too much. I suggest that we only keep two. We are under time pressure and have a heavy task this time, so we don't have time to waste on quarrels. Do you agree?" Gao You even wanted to fire a producer to show his power.
Zhong Houshi, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again, pointed at Gao You, and said angrily: "Don't think that you can open a dyeing room just because I give you a little color!"
Gao You ignored him and continued, "It's my script, I have the final say."
"You are a student? You want to be our master? Do you know where this is?" Zhong Houshi pointed at the table and shouted.
"I know, the new building of the Second Hospital." Gao You nodded.
Zhong Houshi was suddenly speechless.
Ahem, I forgot this is not the provincial TV station building.
