Chapter 421 Questions from reporters

   "Yes." Chen Mubai replied.

   "Are there too many roles?"

  Under normal circumstances, there are 2-4 leading actors, one male and two males, and one female and two females.

  This line is enough, after all, for each additional character, his story will be more, and it is necessary to introduce his background and a series of things that happened around the character.

  The first time everyone saw six protagonists, and they were three males and three females. This character has too much communication and storytelling with each other. Can Chen Mubai, as a new director, control so many plots?

They are very suspicious of Chen Mubai’s directing ability. The level of the reporters who can come here is nothing to say. They are all very high-level people and have a deep understanding of film and television. The average director may be able to control this kind of plot. It is difficult for directors to have this kind of skill.

  As the second time director Chen Mubai (the first time was a web drama), everyone doubted his ability.

  Although they received the red envelopes, they would be biased towards them when writing, but it is impossible to ignore them at all, and there may be serious problems if Chen Mubai does not answer. If Chen Mubai's answer is not good, they will still write it out for the public as usual.

   "No, as everyone sees the title "Struggle"."

  Chen Mubai said cheerfully: "What is struggle? It is the fighting spirit of young people. My play tells the story of contemporary college students after graduation, and these college students are friends. Everyone is a big buddy who has played together since childhood."

  "The same is true for women. Since they are college students, there must be a lot of friends and girlfriends. Naturally, there are many protagonists. The characteristics of each character are different, and they are also several mainstream characteristics. I hope everyone can find resonance in the characters."

  "I believe that our generation will become the mainstay of society in the future, will take over the banner of society from the hands of the previous generation, and strive for the future for life and society!"

   "It turned out to be like this."

   Chen Mubai’s answer made the reporter nod. If it is a college student, he is understandable. There are four people who live in a dormitory, and I really don’t blame so many characters.

  Moreover, he also deliberately expanded the scope of this struggle and tied the contemporary young people together. At least he said it was awe-inspiring. There were a lot of young people present, and they were full of enthusiasm!

   Chen Mubai’s remarks won the favor of many people, especially young people, after all, what he said is true!

  If someone else said it, maybe everyone still doesn't believe it. After all, there are too many people boasting.

  But Chen Mubai is different. He is a representative of young people who struggle and work hard. Otherwise, he would not have written so many classic songs. He is the mainstay of the music scene and the hope of the future!

   Chen Mubai’s answer quickly heated up the atmosphere at the scene. Many reporters were burying their heads in recording Chen Mubai’s words, which would be big news at that time!

   "I saw your starring lineup, except you and Tao Yaoyao have never acted, even if Lin Xue and Qian Duoduo have also acted as protagonists in online dramas, are you worried?"

   "When I directed "Men of Diaosi", I saw Tao Yaoyao acting live, I think she is very talented, my own words, I have the confidence to be able to play a good role."

  Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao were guest appearances in "Men's Man" before. They weren't important roles. They didn't have many scenes, so they didn't count as acting. They had too few shots, and they took less than a few minutes in total.

  "You direct and act by yourself, will it affect your shooting status, or the identity of the director affects your actor status?" the reporter asked.

   "No, acting and excellent will lead, leading and excellent will act, this is all mutual, I am very confident." Chen Mubai answered.

  In fact, he was a bit pretending to say this. He was right. Generally, directors will tell actors to act, so they have some acting skills. It is normal to be an actor and play a role. Many directors will show up in their works.

  But Chen Mubai himself has never been an actor. Even if he is a director, he has only filmed a web series. His resume is not good, but the show was a success.

  If he fails, he will become a target for saying this.

  Mainly Chen Mu pretended to be forced, they were helpless, because all the pretending he had so far succeeded without fail...

  Even if he said so this time, others would not believe it, but no one would refute it. Only when he hits a wall can he have a reason to refute it.

  "Except for the four of you who are considered newcomers, the rest of the actors are all old actors. Among them, there are several strong old actors. You have a lot of investment this time. Do you want to make a big production?"

   "Yes, I am not making a web drama this time, I am going to the stars." Chen Mubai admitted decisively.

  "!!!"

   "Fuck?"

  Many people exclaimed, no one thought Chen Mubai would admit it!

  This is big news, and the reporter who asked this question was also at a loss. He didn't expect this situation to happen.

  Chen Mubai is too confident, right?

  I admit now that it’s for star dramas. If there is no TV station to watch by then, then what he says now will be embarrassing and will become a joke.

  Except for a few strong directors who dare to say this before shooting, most directors dare not be so absolute, otherwise it will be embarrassing if no one buys it.

  Most people will find the TV station to buy after the filming is finished. When the drama is almost ready to sell, the crew will advertise that this is a star drama, which is both publicity and hype, because the overall situation is set.

  There are very few directors like Chen Mubai who praised Haikou before shooting, and there is not a new director like him!

  What he said today made him the first new director to praise Haikou at the new play conference!

  So far, Chen Mubai is too self-confident, and all reporters can feel his confidence, as if he is bound to succeed!

   "Are you so confident?"

  "If people have no dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?"

  This sentence surprised everyone present, a very philosophical sentence.

  Many people have decided to report this sentence, which also reveals Chen Mubai’s “ambition”.

  "Excuse me, the main actors of this show are people you know well. The investor in this show is also your own company. Is it to praise your own people?"

  This question is a bit tricky, and the answer will be controversial.

  "As investors, we must believe that the quality of the work is not bad before we invest. Not to mention this kind of large-scale production, no one will take money to make a joke."

  Chen Mubai laughed as he spoke. The reporter who asked the question was a little embarrassed, and his colleagues were all laughing.

  Yes, who can do it right with money?

  According to what Chen Mubai himself said, this is for going to the stars, the investment is not small, how can he act arbitrarily?

  I only heard Chen Mubai continue to say: “The casting of actors is based on their temperament. Every actor I choose can find the same characteristics in the characters of this play, not just randomly.”

   "Including Yu Fei, Tang Guoqiang, and Cai Yinghua, they all have the characteristics of the characters in the play."

   "I am the screenwriter of this play. I don't think anyone knows the characters in the play better than me, right?"

  Chen Mubai finished speaking, the author underneath was roaring with laughter again, and the author who asked the question was flushed and sat down in embarrassment.

  "This is your second time as a director. Are you confident that you can shoot so many characters and tell this story well?" another reporter asked.

   "Yes, but I am also scared. I just want to show you what I want to show. I don't know if you will like it, but I am willing to try it."

   "If I don't even have the confidence to tell a good story, how can I shoot this drama?"

  Chen Mubai’s answer drew applause from everyone.

He first responded to whether everyone had confidence in his shooting. He replied. There must be confidence, but there are also worries. The worry is whether the audience will pay the bill instead of the content of the film. In fact, he is very confident in disguised form. The filming of this drama.

The clues of many people in this show are indeed combined together. It is difficult for ordinary people to shoot well, and it will be very messy if the film is not good. The filming of this show in the previous life was the great director Zhao Baogang. Chen Mubai still recognized the content of his filming. He believes that the evaluation of this play here will not be bad!

   "We all know that the more characters you have to tell, the more stories you have to tell. Then there are so many main characters in your play. Do you have the confidence to carve the characteristics of each person?"

   "Yes, since I have written so many characters, I am ready. In essence, this is a storytelling. I am confident that I can tell the story of this young man's struggle for everyone to see!"

   "Then how many episodes of your show are you expected to complete?"

  Another reporter asked, but this reporter was uneasy and kind. This is a trap.

Generally, the number of episodes of TV series is not very long. If it is too short, it will disappear quickly, and the speed of fermentation in all aspects of word-of-mouth can not keep up. Moreover, this drama is a star drama, and the TV station buys it according to the number of episodes, naturally the more episodes Do it well.

  But if there are too many episodes, it will appear heavy and long, the plot will be procrastinated, it will definitely look a little watery, the tension of the plot will be insufficient, the sense of rhythm will drop, and the audience may not have that much patience.

  So this is a test of the director's ability. The number of episodes cannot be too many or less. It must be in a just right range. This is the embodiment of the director's strength.

  When the director is shooting a drama, the general rhythm is in his heart, and there will be an evaluation interval, about how many episodes can be filmed.

  Because the content of the story he tells in each episode has already been thought out before shooting, it is a bit like a sub-shot of a movie, but the TV series tells a story, and the time of an episode tells a story rhythm.

  This script is composed of multiple short stories. How long these short stories will take to complete are all the director’s approximate estimates before shooting.

  Before, Chen Mubai was so confident that he could make this drama well. If he can't tell the answer at this time, he is just slapping himself in the face, and he just made a vow.

  Many people looked at Chen Mubai. Everyone was curious about this. Everyone knew in their hearts that the reporter was not kind.
