Qin Long finished organizing the script for iPartment. This was his next movie. This was an urban comedy. When it was first released in 2009, it immediately caused a strong backlash from the people. At least in the world of young people, it received strong support.
This TV series was full of witty remarks. The male and female protagonists in the drama used those words and some good plots to produce sparks that made people laugh.
The TV series received a strong response. Moreover, if it was shot by the current Qin Long, it would have a huge advantage.
If his TV series was filmed at this time, at least many of the lines would be able to attract everyone's attention. Many of the online phrases would also be able to attract people's response and lead to trends. The original drama was built from lines taken from the Internet, but if Qin Long filmed this TV series, he could directly lead the Internet trend!
The year that Qin Long transmigrated happened to be the year iPartment 3 was released. iPartment 3 had just been released on AH TV, SSS TV, and HH TV. It beat all the other summer theatres and became the most popular TV series during the summer break. It even made the viewership ratings of the three major channels surpass the local channel leader, Xiangnan TV, and was slightly worse than Central TV, which was broadcasting the Olympics live. One could imagine how popular iPartment was.
"Filming a TV series! I see!" Haitao heard Qin Long's plan. He quickly said! "So you have your own plan…That's not bad. With the popularity you've gained from the previous movie,'The Witch Briar,' you can definitely make your TV series a hit. However, you still have to pay attention to the script and your TV series. Otherwise, people will think that the success of your last movie was accidental. Your reputation will be greatly reduced, and it will also have a great impact on your future development.”
"Of course I know that. I'm still very confident in this TV series.”
Haitao nodded." As long as you believe in yourself, that's all. I'm choosing to believe in you now."”
Then, Haitao and Qin Long discussed some of the problems with Home Alone.
Qin Long sent the recruitment information for the actors of iPartment to the Hang Kong Institute of Art's website, requesting for seven actors, four men and three women.
Qin Long's recruitment notice caused quite a stir in Hangzhou Art College. Although some people doubted Qin Long's directing ability, it did not affect the enthusiasm of others. Therefore, many people came to apply.
The first audition for iPartment officially began. Qin Long's audition was held in a classroom. There was a corridor outside the classroom, but it was already filled with people who had come for the interview.
Qin Long interviewed more than ten of the seven actors based on the original iPartment. He was not satisfied with them. He felt that they lacked a little flavor. However, Qin Long also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed. The success of a TV series depended on three aspects: the actors, the director, and the script. The actors and actresses of the original iPartment were all newbies, and the director was just an ordinary director. However, the excellent script made iPartment half a success. The other half was due to the seven actors of iPartment. Yes, they were newbies, and their acting skills were not mature enough. However, their image and personality matched the characters in the script very well. Therefore, when they acted, they acted according to their own personalities, making the audience feel very natural. The impression they left on the audience was unique.
"Next."
"Hello, Director Qin Long…My name is Xu Dongya. I'm here to apply for the role of Zeng Xiaoxian.”A young man appeared in front of Qin Long. Qin Long's eyes lit up when he saw this young man. This young man looked very much like Chen He, the actor of Zeng Xiaoxian in the original iPartment. He was not very handsome, had a pair of thick eyebrows, and had a smile on his face. He was definitely a foreign version of Chen He.
Xu Dongya was very polite. After all, filming opportunities were quite rare, not to mention that he was the male lead of a TV series. The person in charge of filming this TV series was the famous Qin Long! Therefore, Xu Dongya greeted him politely.
" Hello," Qin Long said with a smile." Then we'll start the audition. Please say the main lines of the male lead in the play."”
"Alright." Xu Dongya took a deep breath and said," I'm a good man. I'm…Zeng Xiaoxian…" It was very similar to what he remembered. His eyebrows twitched and his face was full of smiles.
When Qin Long saw Zeng Xiaoxian, who was very similar to the original version, say that classic line in front of him, he could not help but smile. He could not help but laugh.
"Is there a problem with my acting? Xu Dongya asked uneasily when he saw the smile on Qin Long's face.
" No problem." Qin Long waved his hand and said,""You acted very well…Alright, let's move on to the next move."
Xu Dongya nodded with slight disappointment. When Qin Long smiled, he felt really uneasy and thought that there was not much hope for him.
Actors like them could only struggle at the bottom most of the time. Every opportunity was like a treasure.
It was not that there were no actors who became famous overnight with their works, but compared to the hundreds of thousands of actors in the entire entertainment district, this number was really small. Most of them seized every opportunity and climbed up step by step. Therefore, when these actors stood at the peak, everyone's acting skills could be elected as the Best Actor or Best Actor.
However, even though they were a little disappointed, they had their own professional qualities. They did not show any disappointment and could still change their image into Zeng Xiaoxian's.
"Yifei, little Feifei, Fei, Fei, Fei.”Xu Dongya said with a fawning and mushy expression.
Not bad. Although it was still a little lacking, it would be fine if he corrected it when the time came. Qin Long made a tick on the evaluation column.
After watching three or four of his moves, Qin Long realized that Xu Dongya's acting was still a little rusty, but everyone had grown up like that.
"You!" "Your acting is quite good," Qin Long said with a smile."It matches the image of Zeng Xiaoxian in my mind."”
Xu Dongya couldn't react for a while. After all, he was already depressed and ready to leave. Who knew that Qin Long would suddenly tell him such good news!
The title of the youngest director in history would attract a lot of attention to Qin Long's work. Regardless of whether Qin Long's work would be popular or not, at least it would not lack popularity. On average, there would be one TV series and three movies screened in Hangzhou and Hong Kong every week. Such a high frequency of appearances could easily make the audience tired. In order to save money and time, the audience would choose to watch them. This resulted in some movies and TV series being watched less than 100,000 times from the time they were screened to the time they went offline. However, Qin Long's works did not need to worry about this. Qin Long's works would arouse the curiosity of many viewers. They wanted to see what this young director was filming and how well he was filming.
"Thank you, Director Chen. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard and cherish this opportunity.”Xu Dongya's happiness was completely shown on his face. For a moment, he was really a little excited.
After three days, Qin Long finally found all seven actors. These people were all handsome men and beautiful women. Basically, they all had professional backgrounds and could guarantee some basic acting qualities. Of course, it was precisely because they were all handsome men and beautiful women, and the few boys in this TV series were basically very wretched. It was undoubtedly more difficult to use such looks to highlight the personalities of the few people.
The first episode of iPartment only had 20 episodes, and it did not require too many scenes. Therefore, Qin Long only invested 5 million in this TV series, which was considered a low-cost production.
Of course, Qin Long had invested in it under Huayu's name. The producer was also Huayu. Qin Long was nominally the screenwriter and director of this TV series. This TV series was mainly difficult to control. This kind of control had a very high requirement for Qin Long's control. More importantly, this TV series could only be controlled by Qin Long alone from beginning to end. It was not a small task for him to control the entire situation alone. Fortunately, Qin Long had watched the original iPartment seven or eight times, so he only needed to follow the rhythm of the original.
As for the equipment rental, he mainly handed it over to Haitao. He was more familiar with this aspect. As for iPartment, it was relatively easy to rent it. As long as he could rent two suites and decorate them according to his own ideas, he could use them without spending too much money.
Because this was Qin Long's first time directing, the pressure on him was huge. If he didn't shoot well, then the honor of being the youngest director in history and a genius director would be greatly damaged. At that time, people's attention on him would be greatly reduced, and it would be extremely detrimental to his future development.
Although he felt like his heart was about to explode, Qin Long was still very serious about doing everything before he started filming.
In the past few days, Qin Long had borrowed a lot of books on how to direct a film from the school library. He had also downloaded a lot of director's shooting techniques from the Internet. Through his brain that had been modified by the entertainment superstar department, Qin Long finished flipping through the borrowed books at an astonishing reading speed of three books a day, causing Qin Long's director level to rise from level three to level four.
During this period of time, Qin Long and the others had made all the preparations for iPartment. Whether it was the venue, equipment, or actors, they were all in place.
On this day, iPartment's press conference was accompanied by the actual opening ceremony of the TV series.
