The Director of Music Department

Maybe many people will ask, why Xu Cang made it so easy to make a TV series, but Yi Xing, as a company, is so troublesome?

In fact, this involves many things. First of all, a director like Xu Cang said bluntly that if he wants to, he can set up his own company, and he can easily gather a group of experienced behind-the-scenes teams.

And there is no shortage of investment at all, because his achievements are there, but conversely, if he forms a film production company, it will be relatively troublesome.

On the one hand, the operation of movies is completely different from that of TV dramas.

In fact, many directors have their own personal studios, making movies, and even attracting investment. In fact, these are not the biggest problems. The biggest problem is publicity.

The reason why several giants are giants is because they control the distribution channels.

In fact, Yi Xing didn't mean that he didn't have the ability to make a TV series, but that he didn't have confidence!

Although the risk of TV series is relatively small, the key problem is that you have to have a reliable project and a reliable director.

And if at this time, signing a well-known director with a lot of money, there is also a big problem, that is, Yi Xing will be turned into a customer.

Therefore, Wang Yifan's suggestion is that Yixing can do some small projects first to accumulate experience.

If we can cultivate our own director, then we will start some larger projects.

Nothing can be accomplished overnight, and Yi Xiaochuan naturally understands this, so he accepted Wang Yifan's proposal.

 …

Xingmeng Entertainment, in Wang Yifan's office.

"Old Xu, sit down!" Wang Yifan smiled at Xu Cang.

After Xu Cang sat down, Wang Yifan opened his mouth.

"The "Sword" has come to an end, do you have any plans for the future?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

Xu Cang shook his head and said, "I've read some scripts, but I'm not very satisfied with them. I don't have any clear plans yet. What's the matter? Yifan, do you have an idea?"

"Don't you think there is a very interesting phenomenon recently?" Wang Yifan asked with a sudden smile.

"What?" Xu Cang was a little confused.

"The impact of "Immortal Sword"." Wang Yifan said.

"You mean the fairy tale trend?" Xu Cang frowned and asked.

Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "The trend of fairy chivalry has existed for a long time. It is not the trend of fairy chivalry, but the trend of tragedy."

Xu Cang was stunned, nodded and said: "It really is, but it seems that the effect is not so good."

The huge discussion triggered by "Sword of Heaven", the main topic is the abuse and tragedy of this drama.

Even Wang Yifan heard that there are several dramas that originally had a happy ending, but because of "Sword of Heaven", they deliberately changed the ending, changing the happy ending to a tragedy.

But the effect is very general, even counterproductive.

The main reason is that the tragedy of "Sword of Heaven" is not just an ending, but promotes such a theme through the plot of the whole drama.

The hidden theme of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is actually "fate and destiny", which can be seen from the song "Xiaoyaotan".

"Actually, have you ever thought about taking pictures of what you are best at?" Wang Yifan asked with his arms crossed.

"What I'm best at? TV dramas?" Xu Cang frowned. He has already developed very well in movies. script.

Wang Yifan shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no, you misunderstood me, I mean, costume drama!"

"Costume drama?" Xu Cang nodded. In fact, he is really better at costume dramas.

He also has quite a lot of experience in this area, which can be seen from "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"I have a song here, take a look." Wang Yifan smiled and took out a song.

Xu Cang couldn't help but smile a little. Many people have forgotten what Wang Yifan did to get his start. He is the 'director of the music department', so Xu Cang is very curious about Wang Yifan's new song.

Because this often represents a new film.

"Silk Play"?

What Wang Yifan gave Xu Cang was just a piece of lyrics.

Of course, Xu Cang may not be able to understand the other more.

However, Xu Cang still looked at it seriously.

However, he was a little puzzled.

"Puppet show? Magic?" Xu Cang hesitated.

Wang Yifan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Yes, and no!"

"You should understand that the core is still love!" Wang Yifan said with a smile and nodded to the lyrics.

"Do you have the script?"

Although it's just the lyrics of a song, the lyrics can already highlight a lot of things. Xu Cang is the director himself, so he can't help but have some pictures in his mind.

Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "It's just an idea for now, but if you're interested, I can provide a script outline."

Now Wang Yifan seldom writes all the story scripts himself, but provides a main line outline, and other work will naturally be completed by other screenwriting teams.

Moreover, Xu Cang will be the director, and he himself will make some suggestions for revisions to the script.

"I need to find out. After all, I don't know much about puppet shows." Xu Cang said after pondering for a moment.

In fact, he has already moved his heart. First, this is a project proposed by Wang Yifan. Secondly, if this project is to be made, this film will definitely not be a low-cost film like before, but a medium-cost fantasy film. .

For this type of film, special effects are indispensable. Although special effects will definitely not be the main focus, the production cost of this film when it comes to special effects will definitely not be just a few hundred or tens of millions.

If it was still a low-budget movie, Xu Cang might not be tempted, but it is very likely that this is a big production with an investment of over 100 million.

No director would be willing to keep making small-budget films, especially a director like Xu Cang who has proven himself, so he also wants to make big-budget films.

But this needs someone's support, the project must be reliable, of course Xu Cang also has ambitions, but he can tell the difference, and he has a very clear understanding of his ability, unlike Wang Yue, who rushed to get rid of Wang Yifan Impact.

He knew very well that the influence of Wang Yifan was actually not a bad thing for him, but a good thing.

Because in this way, he can also use Wang Yifan's influence and resources. Moreover, after the film is made, the actual results are actually his, not Wang Yifan's.

Even if the outside world said it was Wang Yifan's credit, everyone in the circle would know that Xu Cang was the real director.

But Wang Yue paid too much attention to these things, but Xu Cang thought very clearly that many people attributed the success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to Wang Yifan, but what does it matter? A lot of people in the circle will remember that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is his filmed work by Xu Cang.

Similarly, the director is behind the scenes, not in front of the stage, and there is no need to care about those voices at all.

So, of course he will seize this opportunity.
