Gu Bei and the others could rest for three days after they came back, but as the chief director of "Journey to the West", Yang Jie didn't even return home. She went directly to Taili. After reporting her work to the two leaders, Hong Minsheng and Ruan Ruolin, she dived into the work.

Editing room.

The leaders in Taiwan demanded that "Demon Demon Killer" must be broadcast on October 1st, the National Day, and it was already published in newspapers.

Now not only the leaders above, but also TV viewers across the country are looking forward to it.

Yang Jie did not dare to waste time. Only by completing the post-production of "Demon Demon Killer" one day earlier could she truly feel at ease.

It not only requires editing, but also dubbing and soundtracking. The completion of filming is only the first step. The subsequent work is equally intricate and requires Yang Jie, the chief director, to be responsible for it.

Although Yang Jie was not satisfied with many aspects of the pilot episode, it is obviously unrealistic to go back and fix it now that the filming is complete.

Moreover, the production crew's return to Beijing has been reported to the leadership, and they are now waiting for her sample film.

I heard from Ruan Ruolin that not only was it going to be submitted for trial, but the station was also planning to invite some experts to come over.

Yang Jie quickly asked what experts the station was planning to invite. When Ruan Ruolin finished reporting the names of Wu Zuguang, Xie Tian, ​​Li Wanchun, Yuan Shihai, Zheng Rong and a long list of authoritative experts in various fields, she felt that her scalp was numb.

It was as if she had already seen a scene where a group of authority figures surrounded her and verbally criticized her.

Yang Jie knew that she had no right to refuse. The only thing she could do was to cut out the samples as soon as possible and wait for the review. Whether it would be a decision after the fall or a decision would depend on whether the experts approved it.

After seven days of being bored in the editor's office, when Gu Bei and the others came to work, they saw no one.

Finally, the samples were cut out, and the day of final judgment came.

The film review meeting was scheduled for the next day, and Yang Jie returned home after handing in the samples. Although her heart was restless all the time, her body was extremely tired, and she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already the next day. No matter how anxious I was, the ugly daughter-in-law still had to meet her parents-in-law, and there was no way she could escape this disaster.

After arriving at the unit and sitting in the office, Yang Jie couldn't calm down for a long time. At this time, she thought of Ling Zifeng.

When I went to Beijing Film Studio to invite Wang Xizhong and met Ling Zifeng, didn't he also say that he was preparing to film "Journey to the West"?

I don’t know how it is going now?

Yang Jie quickly called Ling Zifeng and wanted to invite him to watch the pilot episode and give him some advice.

result……

"I don't want to shoot anymore. I have decided to give up."

Yang Jie was stunned when she heard this and asked quickly: "Why?"

"I read the original work carefully and found that in the whole story, after Sun Wukong and Tang Seng learned the scriptures, there was nothing to take pictures of. It was all monsters who caught Tang Seng, either to eat or to get married. Then Sun Wukong went to save him, but he couldn't.

I went to look for reinforcements as soon as I came out, and it was like this from time to time. It was too similar, and it didn't make me famous, so I stopped filming. Now I'm out in the field, filming other scenes."

Yang Jie was stunned when she heard this, and recalled what Gu Bei had said to her at that time.

Is it possible that this kid really has front and back eyes?

He said that Ling Zifeng couldn't be filmed, so he really stopped filming.

Moreover, the reason why Ling Zifeng gave up...

Yang Jie recalled this carefully. It seemed that Gu Bei had also mentioned it at the preparatory meeting. At that time, Gu Bei particularly emphasized that there are many similar contents in "Journey to the West" and that we must pay attention to widening the distance between those similar stories.

.

Regardless of the storyline, characters, or location selection, they must be separated and the stories reorganized to ensure that the audience will not feel bored or story fatigue due to similar plots in the future.

This guy really thinks about all the problems!

Yang Jie was sighing when someone came over to inform her that the film review meeting had begun.

"I know, I'll be there soon!"

Yang Jie saw off the people who were coming, prepared pens and notebooks, then gathered her energy and walked out with a determined pace.

But as soon as she reached the door, Yang Jie was stunned.

Wang Chongqiu, Sun Yongsheng, Zhu Xiaofeng, Peng Li, and other crew members, of course Gu Bei is also indispensable.

Li Chengru did not come. He is not a formal employee of CCTV. It is not certain whether "Journey to the West" can continue, so he returned to his original unit.

"Director Yang, come on!"

Peng Li shouted, and others followed suit.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jie suddenly laughed and replied: "It's not about me, it's about our film."

Success or failure depends on whether the film lives up to expectations and whether it can impress the leaders and experts.

Walking into the conference room, the leaders of the station, a station director, three deputy directors, the leaders of radio and television, and various experts invited by the station have all arrived.

There is a curtain hanging in front of the conference room, a projector is placed on the table, and foreign movies have been set up, just waiting for the leader's order.

"Let's get started!"

Wang Feng exchanged pleasantries with the leaders of Radio and Television and the invited experts, and then addressed the staff standing by.

Yang Jie sat in the corner consciously, and her heart began to beat again.

The lights went out, the projector made a "swish" sound, and the curtain lit up.

At that moment, Yang Jie's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Especially when those ugly Monkey King and Zhu Bajie figures appeared on the screen, Yang Jie really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl under them.

She wonders what Mr. Li Wanchun, the Northern Monkey King, will say?

I don’t even know whether the leaders and experts can accept this style of "Journey to the West"?

My only thought at the moment is that I hope this pilot episode will not be shot.

During the whole process, apart from the occasional coughing and the sound of striking matches, the conference room was so quiet that Yang Jie couldn't help but feel irritated.

The filming lasted forty-six minutes, but to Yang Jie, it seemed like a century had passed. Fortunately, she deleted some lengthy plots during editing.

Otherwise, she might have a heart attack due to nervousness.

It's finally over, and I don't have to see those ugly pigs and monkeys anymore.

But just as Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief, her heart became excited again.

The results will be available soon.

Bang, bang, bang...

Well?

Someone was applauding, and then the applause gradually became enthusiastic, which left Yang Jie at a loss.

What does this mean?

At this moment, Yang Jie, who was always alert, was rarely able to react slowly.

"Okay, okay!"

"Well, it's really good. I didn't expect it to be so good in such a short time!"

Someone finally spoke, and when she heard the praise, Yang Jie couldn't believe it, for fear that what these leadership experts said was ironic.

Followed by more and more words of praise and affirmation.

Mr. Wu Zuguang also said happily: "The road of using realism to express romantic themes is successful. Changing classical masterpieces into TV series is a valuable task, but it is indeed very difficult, but the film produced is quite good."

good."

Xie Tian, ​​the veteran director of Beijing Film Academy, also said: "The "Journey to the West" we shot in my childhood was not as good as ours. It was so meticulous to shoot a mythical story, not sloppy or low-level at all, it was difficult to shoot! It was very successful.

, very satisfied!”

Hearing these words, Yang Jie felt relieved a little, and then looked at the famous opera masters.

What she was most worried about was that opera actors like Li Wanchun and Yuan Shihai would object to the monkey's appearance, but she never expected that.

When she went to visit Mr. Li Wanchun, Mr. Li was still insisting that Sun Wukong must make a face, otherwise it would not be called art. But now, Mr. Li expressed his approval of the appearance of Sun Wukong in the sample.

He even said: "You are the real Sun Wukong!"

In an instant, Yang Jie felt that a big stone finally fell to the ground.

"Director Yang, it's not easy!"

At this time, the station director Wang Feng also walked up to Yang Jie. He always gave people the impression of being very serious, but today he rarely showed a smile.

"I should apologize to you. When we were discussing the director selection of "Journey to the West" at the party committee, I voted against you. Fortunately, Deputy Director Hong and Deputy Director Ruan insisted, otherwise,

We can’t see such a good show today, well, it’s really good!”

Hearing Wang Feng say the same thing, Yang Jie was a little dazed. She knew that Wang Feng had always been quite critical of the filming of "Journey to the West" given to her.

Now that she can be recognized by Wang Feng, Yang Jie even feels proud.

"It's... not good enough. Many areas are still rough, especially in terms of styling and performance. There is still a lot of room for improvement. If the boss still allows me to continue filming, I will definitely strive to do better."

After speaking her heart out, Yang Jie looked at every leader with hope. Although everyone had just expressed their approval of the quality of the pilot episode, she could not hear the leader's personal promise that "Journey to the West" could continue to be filmed. Her

I still feel uneasy in my heart.

Hearing Yang Jie's words, Wang Feng and others all laughed.
