The next day, Xiao Yunhai woke up early and made a hearty breakfast for Zhao Wanqing. Then, he brought her some Chinese medicine and sent her on the plane to Suhang at 5: 30 am.
Yesterday, Zhao Wanqing's' At Least I Have You 'sold 1.2 million copies again. In just two days, she had almost reached half of her goal of 20 million copies.
Countless famous music critics gave good reviews to the album. When would it become a king? It had become a hot topic on the Internet.
In the next few days, Xiao Yunling and Mu Qingqing visited all the places in Yan Jing under Li Ling 'er's lead.
They left at 7 am and came back at 11 pm every day. They had a lot of fun. Xiao Yunhai told them to go home early several times, but they didn't listen. Xiao Yunhai had no choice but to let them be.
The script of 'Charlotte's Troubles' was handed to Yao Wenyuan the next afternoon. Yao Wenyuan read it for an entire night and finally gave it a review. It was a popcorn comedy without any meaning or emotion. There was no artistic quality to it. However, the box office should be good after it was released.
In order to save time, Xiao Yunhai did not wait for the school's approval before he started to build the crew.
In his words, he was going to shoot it regardless of whether the script was approved or not.
He gathered all the students who had shot the micro movie with him and with Yao Wenyuan's help, he invited many outstanding students from the school to form a complete crew.
When they heard that Xiao Yunhai, the director of 'Empresses in the Palace', had invited them to shoot a movie, they all rushed back to school the next day.
It was definitely a rare opportunity for them to learn from Xiao Yunhai's crew, who had a viewership rating of more than 20%.
If the movie was a success, the crew would have a lot of experience. After graduation, they would enter the film and television industry and be looked up to.
That night, Xiao Yunhai treated everyone to a meal and arranged their roles at the table. The makeup team was assigned to the once-in-a-decade genius makeup artist, Che Yali. The drama team was assigned to Zhang Xiang, who performed very well in "Time Gate". The photography team was also assigned to Zhang Dabiao, who performed very well in "Time Gate".
In the end, Xiao Yunhai told them that they would be paid this time. Just like in Legend of Empresses in the Palace, Xiao Yunhai set up detailed rules for rewards and punishments for them, which put a lot of pressure on everyone.
The crew of "Charlotte's Troubles" started to get busy. With the money that Xiao Yunhai gave them, they started to do their own things.
Xiao Yunhai was thinking about his character.
The male lead, Xia Luo, would definitely be played by himself. For Xiao Yunhai, whose acting skills had reached perfection, this role couldn't be any simpler. All he had to do was act out the comedy, and everything would be settled.
For the female lead, Ma Dongmei, Xiao Yunhai found Zhang Ya, who had worked with him in skits before. She was very good at acting and had a good sense of humor. She wasn't particularly beautiful, so she was the best choice to play Ma Dongmei.
For the other female lead, Qiu Ya, Xiao Yunhai found his junior sister, Lin Lu. As the campus belle in high school, Lin Lu could be said to be herself.
The principal was played by Yao Wenyuan, and Xia Luo's class teacher, Mr. Wang, was played by the acting teacher, Zhang Liping.
As for the important supporting roles such as the handsome Yuan Hua, the silly Dachun, and Meng Te, who liked to dress up as a woman, Xiao Yunhai also found suitable candidates.
While he was busy working for the crew, he also received good news for his work.
In the 24th episode of "Legend of Empresses in the Palace", the highest rating exceeded 30% for the first time. Although it was only three minutes, it still caused a big earthquake in the entire film and television industry.
Zhao Wanqing's album, "At Least I Have You", was well received by fans. For a week, the sales volume exceeded one million. Now, the total sales volume had reached 15 million. The strategic goal of being crowned king in one battle was already set in stone.
Zhao Wanqing was very happy. After the signing events in various major cities, she came back and invited many of her good friends in the industry to celebrate.
This made Xiao Yunling and Mu Qingqing very happy. Looking at the big star that they used to only see on TV, the two of them were so excited that they couldn't find their bearings.
At night, Zhao Wanqing and Xiao Yunhai were naturally going to fight 300 rounds.
The next day, Zhao Wanqing went back to the company to deal with some things. Then, she reported to the set of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
Time flew by. There were only three days left before school started. Most of the students went back to school one after another.
In the principal's office, seventeen teachers formed an expert committee to review the three scripts.
Yao Wenyuan didn't participate in order to avoid suspicion. But he still came over to look at the scripts of the other two students.
The first one he received was the script submitted by Wang Wei. After only reading a small part of the first part, Yao Wenyuan shook his head slightly and put it down.
It was really too slow. One-fifth of the script had passed, but the main show hadn't started yet. This made Yao Wenyuan very speechless.
Picking up the second script called "Regret of Youth," Yao Wenyuan suddenly exclaimed. In the scriptwriter column, the names of Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen were written. Were they going to be co-directors?
Yao Wenyuan looked carefully. This was a love story that happened in university. The male lead used all kinds of methods to chase the female lead. The two of them planned to go to America to work together after graduation. In the end, the female lead didn't go because of the upheaval in her family. In the end, the two of them separated.
Most of the content of this script talked about the pure and beautiful love on campus. The latter part described the helplessness after entering society. The two formed a huge contrast that made people feel very uncomfortable.
Yao Wenyuan frowned and thought to himself, "Is such a sentimental script really written by two university students who haven't graduated yet? This is too well written. Yunhai is in trouble this time. "
After a while, all the teachers finished reading all three scripts.
Principal Zhuang Bin said, "Come, everyone, which one do you think is better? Old Hu, you go first. "
Hu Changsheng nodded and said straightforwardly, "I think the script of 'Regret of Youth' is better. I feel that it is very sentimental. Xiao Yunhai's' Charlotte's Troubles' is also not bad. The lines are very funny and can be considered a good school comedy. However, there is no artistry to speak of. Even if we win in the end, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get good reviews from the outside world. Sorry, Teacher Yao, I'm just stating the facts. "
As the vice principal of the Yenching Film Institute, Hu Changsheng was very open-minded. Because of his son, he had a lot of opinions about Xiao Yunhai.
However, Xiao Yunhai had always been very obedient in school. After becoming famous, he couldn't be seen for many years. Even if he wanted to find trouble with him, he couldn't. Now that there was such a good opportunity, Hu Changsheng naturally wouldn't let it go.
However, he was still very capable to be the vice principal. His words didn't sound like he was using his position to avenge a personal grudge.
Yao Wenyuan looked at Hu Changsheng with a slightly meaningful gaze. He stood up and said, "It's okay. Principal Zhuang, teachers, it's not appropriate for me to be here. I'll leave first. "
Hu Changsheng heard and quickly said, "Teacher Yao, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that."
Director Wu Zhiguo said, "Yes, Old Yao, Hu …"
Yao Wenyuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm going to leave to avoid suspicion. Yunhai is my student. If I'm here, everyone will have scruples and won't be able to speak freely. This competition is related to the honor of the Yan Jing Film Institute. There can't be any problems. "
The other teachers said a few more words of advice.
Principal Zhuang Bin finally said, "Alright, everyone knows Teacher Yao's character and temper. Since he has made up his mind, then let it be. "
Yao Wenyuan nodded and left the office.
In the room, people started to talk again.
Wu Zhiguo said first, "I agree with Vice Principal Hu. This' Regret of Youth 'is really good. There are laughter and tears. I think we should choose it."
The other teachers also nodded and agreed.
Acting Department Head Liao Wuyang said, "Teachers, I have to say that in terms of artistry, 'Youth with Regrets' is indeed a few streets ahead of 'Charlotte's Troubles'. But in terms of box office sales, I think 'Charlotte's Troubles' has the advantage.
"First of all, this movie is a comedy. It's also the first movie written and directed by Xiao Yunhai. As long as we release this news, his tens of millions of fans will watch it, and the box office will definitely not be a problem. "
"Second of all, Xiao Yunhai's directing ability is very mature. It can be seen from 'Empresses in the Palace'. It's more reassuring to have him direct it. "
"Finally, this movie is full of jokes. It can make people laugh from the beginning to the end. It suits the taste of young people."
"Based on the above three points, if I had to choose, I would choose 'Charlotte's Troubles'."
