Chapter 327: Finalization, two scripts
After dinner, Chen Yuan and Ye Zhi sat in the main room thinking about the lyrics and music. They came up with a rough idea in bits and pieces. Chen Yuan estimated the time and decided to complete it for her in the next few days.

“Big star, is this your new song? It sounds pretty good.”

The two were complaining about the song creation when Chen Li suddenly walked in in surprise, followed by Yang Yangyang.

Then Chen Jun came back on a tricycle with Tang Ying.

Before we knew it, it was past nine o’clock. The fish pond was finished, the playground was cleared, and the dining area was done with work. The employees went home and to their own beds.

Those who are more diligent can engage in construction.

“It’s a new song, but it’s not finished yet.” Ye Zhi looked up and smiled gently.

“Amazing, you are indeed a talented woman. You will be famous all over the country sooner or later.” Chen Li gave a thumbs up.

“I’m not that impressive. Boss Chen is the amazing one. Without Boss Chen, these songs wouldn’t be possible.” Ye Zhi dared not take credit for herself. She was able to become famous and have the confidence to participate in good songs, all because of Chen Yuan.

“Why is Xiao Yuan so powerful?”

Tang Ying brought in a lot of dishes and looked at Ye Zhi curiously with a bright smile on her face. After all, she was praising her son.

“Are you done with the village affairs?”

Ye Zhi was about to say something, but Chen Yuan spoke first. After all, this was not a glorious thing and there was no need to talk about it, so as to avoid having to explain all kinds of things later.

“It’s past nine o’clock, it’s time to end. It’s not summer anymore.” Chen Jun followed in, also bringing a lot of dishes.

This has become a regular activity now. After finishing work in the village, the family prepares vegetables and chats at home in the evening. It is quite warm.

“There is still one day of holiday. It shouldn’t be so busy after tomorrow.” Chen Yuan came over to help prepare the dishes.

Ye Zhi chatted for a few words, said hello and left. They had almost finished chatting for today, so it was a good time to go back and do some more.

“What about your crew? How long will it take?” After sending Ye Zhi away, Chen Jun took the opportunity to ask about the crew.

When the village is less busy, maybe I can see if I can help out.

“According to the current intensity of filming, it will probably take about a week.”

All the staff of Yucheng Film and Television were mobilized, from directors to actors, from staff to extras, which is equivalent to the manpower of several crews, and there is also an engineering team to build the venue. The progress will definitely not be worse than in the previous life.

“So fast?”

Not only Chen Jun was surprised, but Yang Yangyang also exclaimed in surprise.

Even if you have never worked in or understood this industry, a good movie definitely takes time to polish. Can the quality be guaranteed if it is shot in a few days?

“Isn’t it too rushed?”

Chen Li said with some concern: “I just went to the shooting site to see it for a while. The intensity is really terrifying. Will there be any impact under such high pressure?”

“His strength is indeed terrifying.” Chen Jun agreed.

He also went to the filming site to help yesterday, and Chen Yuan didn’t come back until three in the morning. Qin Fen and the others came here early this morning.

This intensity is not only terrifying, it’s crazy.

“The online movie industry is like this, it’s all normal.” Chen Yuan smiled calmly.

Now you may think that the work intensity is too high, but wait a few months, the online movie market is proven, and more and more people flock to it, and then it will be like cattle, horses, snakes and gods showing their magical powers.

In order to increase production, we try our best to overwhelm our competitors.

“We don’t understand this business, you can handle it yourself. But no matter what, your body is your own. Don’t try to fight like you did yesterday.” Tang Ying looked at Chen Yuan and warned him seriously.

She was still very confident in what Chen Yuan was doing. Although she didn’t understand, she believed in her son and thought that as long as he took good care of his health, nothing else would be a problem.

……

The next few days.

Chen Yuan is still editing the script at home and keeps in touch with Qin Fen every day to learn about the progress and results of the shooting. After dinner in the evening, he will study the songs with Ye Zhi.

Everything went smoothly. On January 10th, the Taoist priest came out of seclusion and successfully finished filming. Qin Fen was the first to tell Chen Yuan the good news.

“Thank you for your hard work during this period. Have a good rest tonight. You will prepare a wrap-up banquet tomorrow, and then all crew members will take a week off.” Chen Yuan received the call and made arrangements after hearing about the wrap-up.

The filming started on New Year’s Day and officially wrapped up on the 10th. The entire filming process took ten days, which was not very efficient compared to the previous life.

But firstly, Qin Fen is an outsider and has not received any systematic training, which must have affected the filming. Fortunately, there are people in the director team who will surely grow a lot after the tempering of their debut work.

Furthermore, with the sponsorship of Yang Wei and Huang Jie, it was necessary to insert advertisements in appropriate places, which required a re-review of the script.

The director team will definitely take time to discuss.

Even reshoots.

Overall, the film was completed in ten days, which is quite efficient.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it.” Qin Fen responded, his words revealing excitement but also an unconcealable sense of fatigue, a state of being both tired and excited.

“We must keep up with the post-production and strive to finish the film before the end of this month. If necessary, we will work overtime to catch up with the progress and the overtime pay will be doubled.” Chen Yuan reminded.

“Don’t worry, I have already arranged the post-production department. Our crew will work overtime and at full intensity. The post-production department will not lag behind, and the film will be online before the end of the month.” Qin Fen assured firmly.

Xie Di will be responsible for this matter.

Moreover, compared with Chen Yuan, Qin Fen and Xie Di definitely pay more attention to post-production because they want to go online as soon as possible and see the market effect.

“Okay, take a good rest first. I have the script ready. Contact me after your vacation. I will try to produce two more dramas before the end of the year and put them online after the new year.” Chen Yuan said.

This is almost the arrangement before the New Year. If the efficiency is high, we can produce two more units. If the efficiency is slow, we can produce one more unit. When the team grows bigger next year, the output will surely increase dramatically.

“I need to rest for two days. I haven’t slept well in ten days. I’ve lost a lot of weight. It’s nothing important. Let me take a few days to rest before I talk to you.”

Qin Fen could hardly bear it any longer and hung up the phone after finishing his business.

“Is the online movie finished?”

After Chen Yuan hung up the phone, Ye Zhi next to him asked casually.

During this period of time, she has been sitting in Yucheng Village, studying the lyrics and music by herself during the day, and coming to Chen Yuan to study together in the evening. The results are very good and have basically taken shape.

As for school.

It’s already graduation year and everyone is planning for their future, so there’s not much to do at school.

“It just ended. What about you? When will you start recording?” Chen Yuan put down his phone and asked Ye Zhi.

There should be no problem with the song. From the lyrics to the music, from the artistic conception to the details, the two of them have reached a consensus. In Chen Yuan’s opinion, it is definitely not inferior to the previous life.

Especially the details he designed and the idea he pointed out at the end can elevate the whole song.

“It’s almost over, and it will be online at the end of the month. This song was included in the blind audition stage, so it should be able to advance. What I’m more worried about now is the competition for the main hit in the second stage.”

Ye Zhi held a guitar and talked about his arrangements and concerns about the program.

This song “The Wind Rises” is definitely a classic. It will definitely be a blast if used in the blind audition stage. It should be no problem for it to pass the blind audition smoothly, but the most important thing is the second stage.

The competition for the main theme is to create a topic, which is set by the program team. The students have to create the topic within 24 hours, which is a real test of their originality. Although there are mentors accompanying them throughout the process, the program team will also invite songwriters to provide necessary help for the creation, and there is even a 30-minute opportunity for help.

However, the combination of external conditions such as the topic and time limit makes extreme creation difficult, and it is extremely difficult to create a classic.

It is extremely difficult to stand out and pass the second round of selection.

Even if you are extremely lucky and get a direct pass in the blind audition, skipping the selection and going straight to the main competition, creation is still a necessary step.

Once the quality of the songs is too bad, the direct key becomes a joke.

“Is it possible to know the proposition in advance?”

Chen Yuan listened to Ye Zhi’s introduction to the competition system, and carefully recalled the process of this season’s Good Song in his mind, but he really couldn’t remember it, let alone the details, he probably had no impression at all.

Chen Yuan’s impression of good songs are just a few familiar songs and a few contestants who developed better later on. He has no impression of the rest.

Not to mention the details of the competition system.

“No possibility.” Ye Zhi said firmly.

The competition system is fair, all players have the same experience, there are no so-called backdoors, relationships, unspoken rules or anything like that.

“Is it possible to guess some general directions through understanding the tutor?” Chen Yuan picked up the cigarette box on the table and asked while taking out a cigarette.

“I will definitely guess, but it will definitely be useless. Who knows what weird questions the instructor will come up with.” Ye Zhi showed a faint bitter smile.

“Then there’s nothing we can do. We can only deal with it as it comes.” Chen Yuan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and spread his hands helplessly.

If he could remember the details of the questions, he could cheat, but the problem was that he had never paid attention to these things in his previous life, so who the hell could remember these small details.

“This is the only way. I’ll try to ask Boss Chen for help when the time comes.” Ye Zhi looked at Chen Yuan and said.

Ye Zhi did not have high expectations for the so-called opportunity to seek help, communicate with the tutor, or seek help from the lyrics and music consultant. The extreme creation topic is an extreme test in itself.

The help we can provide is limited.

Unless you are lucky and have original works that fit the topic, otherwise it is all extreme creation.

“No problem with me. I will continue to think about it during this period and try to prepare some materials so that I will have materials to choose from when the time comes.” Chen Yuan agreed directly.

He has high expectations for Ye Zhi.

Cultivating Ye Zhi will be extremely beneficial to Chen Yuan Fishing Ground, Yucheng Village Leisure Tourism Resort Project, even Yucheng Film and Television, as well as some subsequent plans.

As long as there is a chance, I will definitely not hide it.

“Let’s talk about it after we can get to the stage of competition for the main hit. Don’t let yourself fail the blind audition or the selection. There’s no point in worrying about all these things now.” Ye Zhi smiled calmly.

The two chatted for a while, and after confirming that the song was basically flawless, Ye Zhi returned to the B&B.

Chen Jun and the others had not returned yet, so Chen Yuan went upstairs after smoking a cigarette and continued editing his script. The script for “The Taoist Comes Out of the Mountain 2” had already been completed.

Next is the third part of the Taoist Priest Comes Out of the Mountain series.

The third part is divided into two parts, which is equivalent to two online movies. Although the main creative team changed the cast, the series IP is still there and has not affected the box office sharing.

The trilogy, four works, each part has a box office of about 20 million, creating one myth after another in the online movie industry.

This IP is enough to make Yucheng Film and Television successful.

“Buzz.”

Just as Chen Yuan was about to continue writing, a WeChat message sounded on his phone. He glanced and saw that it was a message from Tong Mo and Zhou Yinan from the screenwriting department.

“Boss, I have written a script, please take a look at it.” Tong Mo sent a message, followed by a document titled “Campus Storm”.

“Boss, please comment.”

Zhou Yinan’s name is even simpler, just five words, followed by a document titled “The Desert Knight”.

When the small group first met, Tong Mo and Zhou Yinan still called him Teacher Chen or Boss Chen. After chatting occasionally in the past few days, they changed to calling him Boss after getting to know each other.

“Wow, that’s pretty fast.”

When Chen Yuan saw the news about the two people, he sent a message directly to the screenwriter group.

Exactly ten days have passed since the screenwriters’ meeting ended, and the two of them have each polished out a script. Regardless of the quality, their efficiency is indeed good.

Tong Mo: “The crew is busy day and night, and our screenwriting department is under a lot of pressure. We dare not take a break at all.”

Zhou Yinan: “Working without sleep or food.”

I dare not rest and I forget to eat and sleep.

From the two people’s responses, it is not difficult to imagine how these ten days went by. What’s more, Chen Yuan himself is also a screenwriter, and he has some excellent dramas in his mind.

Tong Mo and Zhou Yinan really don’t have any, they definitely have more brain cells dead than him.

“Thank you. Let me take a look at the script first.”

Chen Yuan sent a message in the group, followed by a lucky red envelope, indicating that this kind of happiness can be expressed with money, and it is not necessary to use sincerity alone.

“Thank you, boss.”

“Thank you, boss.”

Tong Mo and Zhou Yinan grabbed the red envelopes in seconds, each worth dozens of yuan, and happily expressed their gratitude in the group.

Chen Yuan did not respond and left to look at the two people’s script.

This is the first time that the screenwriting department has submitted a script, and he also wants to see the ability of the newcomers in the screenwriting department. If they are good enough, he can set up a project and form a crew.

Moreover, in the future he only needs to create two IP series to build up the brand awareness of Yucheng Film and Television, and it will be enough to occasionally produce a hit.

The screenwriting department itself can support the needs of the company.

“Campus Storm is pretty good. It has the style of Brother Hao’s previous life’s movie High School, but it has a faster pace and a more compact plot, which is in line with the online movie market.”

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with Tong Mo’s drama. Although there was no overlapping work in his mind, that is to say, there was no such online movie in his previous life, there were many similar ones.

For example, the transfer student series, youth feeding the dog and so on.

Of course, the most important thing is that, judging from this work, Tong Mo is more than capable of handling this track, and if there is a suitable role in youth films, Liang Qianyue can also give it a try.

“Let’s read another one first.”

Chen Yuan had a lot of ideas in his mind, or rather effective suggestions, but he did not go directly to Tong Mo. He talked about them after watching both films.

The Desert Knight, from the two words “desert” and “knight”, you can tell it’s a martial arts drama without having to watch it.

I don’t know why there are so few classic martial arts dramas nowadays. With the progress of the times and the development of society, all kinds of exciting blockbusters have emerged one after another, and the martial arts era of the 8090s and s has become deserted.

I don’t know how Zhou Yinan’s martial arts drama is.
