Since 1983

There are a total of 20 people in the center. This is established. If there is not enough time for filming, they will be seconded in various ways.

I found a meeting room, Lu Xiaowei sat at the main seat, Zheng Xiaolong was next to him, "Let me introduce a new colleague, Xu Fei. He used to be from the Ancheng Quyi Troupe. He played Jia Yun in "Dream of Red Mansions". He is good at writing, knows how to draw, and is very thoughtful, and I will get to know him slowly in the future...Xiao Xu, tell me a few words."

"Hi everyone, it's a great honor to join this team. All of you here are seniors and teachers. I hope you can give me more advice in the future."

Xu Fei stood up and sat down again.

"..."

Everyone cast curious eyes, especially when they heard that they participated in "Dream of Red Mansions", they all showed subtle expressions. Because this time, the movie version will be popular, and the drama version will be viewed badly by the whole country, and they don't pay much attention to him.

The meeting continued, Xu Fei listened very carefully and recognized the person by the way.

The director is Lu Xiaowei, thirty-four years old, who is also in charge of the production department. The deputy director is Zheng Xiaolong, who is also thirty-four years old. He mainly focuses on production and also manages the editing department.

In the production process of TV dramas, there is a position called responsible editor, who is responsible for project planning, script revision, review of finished films, etc. - Zheng Xiaolong is doing this job.

Jin Yan, director and cameraman.

Bi Jianjun, lighting and camera.

Li Xiaoming, screenwriter.

Chen Yanmin, screenwriter.

Hoda, screenwriter.

Fuck!

Xu Fei was startled when he saw this one. Many people may not be familiar with Huo Da, but you will know it when you mention his works. "The Funeral of ***" was her work published in 1987, but she did not expect that she would be a screenwriter in the center.

There are also the group of people mentioned above, all of whom seem to be strangers, and the future generations will be big stars in the film and television industry.

He looked at Feng Pants and Zhao Baogang who were sitting on the wall, tsk tsk, it’s no fun when people are good, it’s interesting when there’s no good...

Zhao Baogang used to be a foundry worker in a factory. When he participated in "Four Generations Living under One Roof", he was recommended by director Lin Ruwei and entered the center. It is said to be theater work, but it is actually doing odd jobs, serving tea and water, ordering box lunches and so on.

Feng Pants entered the film and television industry in 1984 as an art assistant in "The Tree of Life and Death". He was recruited into the center in 1985, and his qualifications were not much higher than Xu Fei.

The two are from ordinary families, not the so-called children of the big courtyard, and they mainly relied on flattery in the early days.

Filming TV these days is a national task, the government allocates money, and you are responsible for filming.

For example, "Four Generations Under One Roof" is to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and by the way, to commemorate the rehabilitation of Lao She, which has political significance.

Insufficient creative ability and lack of experience, all TV stations are in food shortage. In the past few years, it was a single drama, with less than three episodes, each episode was 60 minutes, a total of 120 minutes to 180 minutes, and it was divided into weekly broadcasts, because after one week's broadcast, there will be no programs next week.

More than three episodes are called serials, and twelve episodes are considered long-form. There is even a Feitian Award called the Harvest Award, which is specially awarded to units that can produce more than twelve episodes of TV series a year, which shows the extent of the food shortage.

"The center has been established since 1982, and this year has entered its fourth year. The results have been mediocre, and I am ashamed of the trust in Taili..."

Lu Xiaowei's sober demeanor is really similar to Lu Xun's, and his speech is also polite, saying:

"The only thing that can be sold is last year's "Four Generations Under One Roof". Although it was produced by our center, the director Lin Ruwei was hired outside, and the cameraman Xing Peixiu was borrowed from Beijing Film Studio. We have done a logistics job .

The problems exposed are very serious, and the self-production capacity is insufficient. The state gave us 800,000 yuan of funding, not for us to do logistics and pretend to be fat. In the first two years, we have just changed the model, so we can do it as a practice, but we should have practiced enough, and it is time to produce results. "

"800 000……"

Xu Fei was stunned to himself, it's really pitiful, because it's not a drama, but a whole year's funding.

Now the price of goods has also risen, and so has the labor force. Thinking back to "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", the nine episodes of "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp" were filmed for 75 days, and only 100,000 yuan was spent.

"Next month will be the Spring Festival. Today's meeting is to let everyone think about what kind of works we will produce this year to be worthy of this trust. It is limited to one week, and we will hold another seminar next week to strive to The key projects are decided before the festival, and preparations will start after the holiday.”

"Okay, the meeting is over!"

After the meeting, Xu Fei had time to go to the office to sign and get his work permit.

The working status of the center is different from that of other companies. It is only busy when there is filming, and it can only be idle when there is no filming. When everyone returned to the room, they discussed in twos and threes. Feng pants and Zhao Baogang were like two monkeys eager for bananas, but they couldn't find anyone to talk to.

As a result, when he saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him, as if he had seen the same kind.

"Xiao Xu, if you have any ideas, let's talk."

"I don't have any ideas, I just shoot what the common people like to watch."

"It's easy to say, ordinary people like to watch everything, but just because they like to watch everything, they can't shoot randomly!"

Zhao Baogang shrunk his hands, wrapped in a big old padded jacket that was not old, but he seemed to be pointing Jiangshan, "If you want me to say, the spy theme is the best, exciting, and the audience will definitely like it."

"It's so vulgar! It's still necessary to shoot serious ones, discuss social phenomena, and point directly at people's hearts to make the soul vibrate."

Feng Pants is serious, he is a standard literary youth.

"The spy is also very profound, and it has educational significance. How can it be vulgar?"

"Stunning is vulgar. Film and television works do not reflect the livelihood of the people, so they are not excellent at all."

Zhao Baogang is 31 and Feng Pants is 28. They are not very old. It is the time when the blood bursts out, fighting for the art of film and television, and consciously shouldering the responsibility of literary and art workers.

As for what happens next, that is a matter of later times.

"Xiao Xu, what do you think?"

"I think it doesn't matter what the subject matter is, the most important thing is that it looks good. Don't think too much about the aesthetics of the masses. Even if the cultural level of the people in the whole country has risen, you have to allow some ordinary people to exist."

Xu Fei suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh, by the way, does the center have previous records?"

"What record?"

"It's how many TV series are filmed every year, how many episodes in total, etc. I mean the whole country."

"There may not be ones in the whole country, but there should be ones in the center. Why do you want this thing?"

"Know yourself and the enemy, and before you start working, you need to do data analysis."

"Number, data analysis???"

In an instant, the two of them didn't feel that this guy was the same kind, and they couldn't understand it. However, Zhao Baogang still found the information, and the three of them took a look:

Founded in 1982, no works.

In 1983, there was a "Mother and the Portrait", two episodes, directed by Lu Xiaowei.

In the same year, he filmed "Four Generations Under One Roof", 28 episodes, with special funding from the state, directed by Lin Ruwei.

In 1984, "Stewardess" was filmed, a total of four episodes. That's right, it's Wang Shuo's novel, which didn't even have a splash after it was broadcast. Few people knew about Wang Shuo at the time, and Zheng Xiaolong obviously did it for his own benefit.

In the same year, there was also "Facing the Sea", four episodes, directed by Jin Yan.

In 1985, "The Bell and Drum Tower" was filmed, eight episodes, directed by Lu Xiaowei, adapted from Liu Xinwu's novel, and planned to be broadcast this year.

In addition, "The Sound of the Pipa at Midnight", four episodes, directed by Jin Yan, is also planned to be broadcast this year.

In the same year, "Four Generations Under One Roof" was broadcast.

Then, it's gone...

Xu Fei's head hurts watching it, and two TV shows are produced every year... Is this shit also called a TV series? ? ? ?

"Allow 800,000 a year, why don't you shoot more?"

He thought it was too little before, but now he saw that it was too rich!

"How could there be 800,000 in the past? "Four Generations Under One Roof" was broadcast, and the effect was good. This year it only increased to 800,000." Zhao Baogang said.

Oh, that still makes sense.

"Four Generations Under One Roof" is good, and "The Bell and Drum Tower" is also good. The others are really like what Lu Xiaowei said, just practice hands. However, it was the last few years that laid the groundwork for the subsequent explosion, which almost dominated the TV screens of the whole country.

With the same information, Zhao Baogang and Feng Pants didn't see much, but Xu Fei seemed to gain something.

In addition to being good at drilling, the two of them are also eager to learn. They immediately asked, "What do you see?"

"I think it's too literary, the literary quality is enough, and the popularity is not strong."

"Let me just say, you can't do anything too serious, Xiao Xu has a good eye!" Zhao Baogang was very happy to find the alliance.

"well……"

Feng Pants kept shaking his head, "The world is getting worse, the world is getting worse."
