the next day.

Ark Culture Film and Television Production Department Meeting.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao both received the notice and guessed that there might be a new play coming, so they came to the conference room early.

Fang Xing came to the conference room on time and said, "Let's get started."

Qiao Yinghong first summarized the results of several TV series and movies produced this year, and then turned to the main topic today:

"Currently, the company needs a new project to produce a script selected by the film and television production department. I showed it to my boss. The boss was not very satisfied and decided to produce a new script.

"I haven't seen the script. How to prepare the specific new project depends on the boss's arrangements."

Fang Xing took over the topic and said: "The "Ancient Acacia" filmed by Yu Tao previously received a good response. In terms of costume art, I am very satisfied.

"So, let's make a costume drama this time.

"My plan is to make a full-length film with more than 70 episodes.

"I have high expectations for this project, so my idea is to let Yigao and Yu Tao collaborate on filming together, with me as the producer.

"Of course, it also depends on what you two think."

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao did not expect this arrangement, and they had unexpected expressions on their faces.

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Yigao said first: "I have no objection. Yu Tao and I have known each other for more than ten years, so there is no problem in our cooperation. Right, Yu Tao?"

At present, Wang Yutao has only filmed one feature film, "Ancient Acacia".

However, he has very good control over the costume styling and shots.

Fang Xing likes his aesthetic of costume scenes very much, but this time the script requires more than 70 episodes, which may not be enough given his directorial experience.

That's why Fang Xing decided to let the two of them film together.

Wang Yutao has only made one film, "Ancient Lovesickness", and has not yet become a popular director. Now he is content as long as he has movies to shoot.

Moreover, he and Zhang Yigao have worked together with Fang Xing as assistant directors for so many years and have always had a tacit understanding of their work, so they have no objection to this arrangement.

"Yes, I have no problem." Wang Yutao immediately nodded in agreement.

…

In fact, in the film and television industry, many directors don't like two directors to collaborate on a drama.

If two people have different opinions, conflicts can easily arise.

If the conflict escalates, there may be a direct fight.

The more talented a director is, the more he hopes that the entire work will follow his ideas.

but.

Here at Fang Xing, there is no need to worry about this situation.

Originally, Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao had known each other for more than ten years and worked as assistant directors on Fang Xing's crew for six or seven years.

There is a tacit working understanding.

As for the differences between two people's ideas, they can be easily resolved.

Fang Xing serves as the producer, and when the two people disagree, it is Fang Xing who has the final say.

Even when Zhang Yigao was filming a drama alone, Fang Xing would check in with the filming progress every once in a while and ask for modifications if he was dissatisfied.

This cooperation model is already very mature.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao never considered whether Fang Xing's decision was right.

Fang Xing has already swept the three major TV drama award ceremonies. With such strength, if he still questions it, he is mentally ill.

Therefore, when Fang Xing proposed that the two of them collaborate on a drama, both of them agreed without much hesitation.

…

The reason why the two of them collaborated on this film is mainly because this drama has higher requirements for the director than the previous dramas they filmed.

The acting requirements for actors are no less demanding than those in movies.

Fang Xing initially considered filming in person, but now that he has entered the film industry, he decided to focus more on movies.

For the TV series, I let my assistant director who has been with me for so many years do the filming.

However, Fang Xing's requirements for actors' acting skills this time are higher than those in previous dramas, so he will personally participate in the early auditions for actors.

Moreover, Fang Xing is not just a producer this time, but a supervisor, and will follow the shooting situation more closely.

…

The meeting continues.

Since neither Zhang Yigao nor Wang Yutao received the script, Zhang Yigao took the initiative and asked: "Boss, do you already have the script?"

"We only have the scripts for the first 30 episodes now, and I will give you the rest of the scripts before filming starts."

Fang Xing said, taking out a printed script on A4 paper and handing it to the two of them.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao took it and took a look at the cover.

Printed on the cover is a line of poetry "Know or not, it should be green, fat, red and thin."

The meeting was not over yet, so the two of them just opened the script and scanned two pages without having time to read it in detail.

Fang Xing continued: "I value this script very much. I had thought about filming it myself before. Then after I saw the drama you guys shot, I thought you might be able to do it, so I gave it to you to give it a try.

"However, there is something I want to say first.

"I don't allow this script to be bad. If I feel dissatisfied when I'm supervising the production, I may take over and shoot it myself."

When Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao heard this, they immediately felt pressured.

Their expressions became serious and they solemnly said: "Don't worry, boss, I will do my best."

If they really fail to shoot well and Fang Xing takes over and shoots it himself, their status in the directing industry will decline drastically by then.

Zhang Yigao has already made three popular dramas, "Dark One", "Dark One 2" and "Remaining Crime", and is now a popular director in the TV drama industry.

At this time, if the guide tube was knocked off, it would be a big loss.

Therefore, even if he risked his life, he could not let this happen.

Fang Xing calmed down his expression and calmed their nerves: "Don't be too nervous. Since I've left it to you to shoot, I believe that you are capable of doing it well.

"Besides, when it comes to casting, I will personally participate in the audition. If I check the casting carefully, it will be much easier during filming."
