Many viewers are aware of tvb, and many film and television classics have been produced from this station, bringing the audience a lot of good memories and accompanying the audience through the ups and downs of these years. Today's TVB, in the hearts of the audience, has long been a classic existence.
Indeed, TVB dramas have brought a lot of joy to the audience, and have also created many screen couples, leaving a lot of reverie space. But what about the behind-the-scenes stories of making film and television dramas? This topic is the topic that Soup Powder wants to talk about today. An alternative profession behind the scenes of the entertainment industry and showbiz.
This article will take a career as a well-known executive producer to illustrate the unique perspectives behind film and television. Many of the works that this well-known producer has filmed include "Palace Heart", "Roselle" and "Forensic Pioneer" series.
She is tvb drama co-production director, Mei Xiaoqing.
But she didn't start out in the position of theater director, and she experienced too much during that time. Mei Xiaoqing, who seems to be a strong woman in film and television production, was also scolded in the past, and even hid in the bathroom to cry secretly.
So, from assistant choreographer to gold medal producer, what has she experienced?
Mei Xiaoqing, known as "Little Miss Qingqing". As an executive producer, the male artist with the most cooperation is Ma Junwei. But the early Mei Xiaoqing had another title, "Pepper Boy".
Mei Xiaoqing, who first entered the television industry, first started with Li's TV, and then transferred to TVB, that is, TVB. At that time, she was young and had just graduated from the film and television industry, but the program she had just participated in was not a drama program, but a variety show and a leisure program, "Afternoon Tea".
This made Tang Fan think of a TVB variety show that he often watched when he was a child, "Urban Leisure". Such programs usually revolve around health, life and art performance, etc., and present the encyclopedia of life and entertainment. It doesn't look as complicated as drama, and it's more suitable as a "springboard" for newcomers to the film and television industry.
Mei Xiaoqing was also transferred to the drama group later.
Young Mei Xiaoqing started as an assistant choreographer. What kind of existence is an assistant choreographer? To put it bluntly, it is a miscellaneous thing, on the set, basically everything can be solved by the personnel in this position.
Assistant choreographer can be described as a difficult "pig bone", and it is not a generalist who can persist.
So at that time, there were not many people working as assistant choreographers, so Mei Xiaoqing was following multiple executive directors around. Mei Xiaoqing is basically too busy to do things, although it is hard, she has learned a lot of things.
Even if she is busy, Mei Xiaoqing still insists on her own principles. Some things, in the absence of her approval, will not be easily compromised. There were people in charge of props to prepare props for Mei Xiaoqing to see, but Mei Xiaoqing did not agree with this prop, she felt that there could be better. She will even prepare it herself to "strive for perfection."
It is also because of this personality that Mei Xiaoqing will have the title of "Pepper Boy".
Mei Xiaoqing is very grateful when she is engaged in this industry. She has many good colleagues and a lot of seniors who are worth learning. At that time, there were many opportunities, and the seniors also gave a lot of help.
However, even so, Mei Xiaoqing has also been scolded, and when working with Liu Jiahao, she was often scolded to cry. She even hid in the bathroom and cried, but instead of giving up, she washed her face and came out to continue working, doing nothing until it got right. But in fact, Liu Jiahao takes good care of himself and is very talented.
So what kind of change is the promotion path of this line? From the initial assistant choreographer, to the director, senior choreographer, and finally to the executive producer, the producer is the biggest "talker" in the whole series, and it is a position with "decisive" ability.
But at that time, Mei Xiaoqing did not want to be a producer, but insisted on doing a fixed position in this industry, and she did not want to manage people. However, the departure of the seniors means that someone will take the place, sit in the position of "producer", and can also do what they want to present.
Mei Xiaoqing's first supervising work was "Edge Eighteen", which was broadcast in 1983 and starred Zeng Weiquan and Ye Yuping. This film and television work, which has hardly found much information on the Internet, still has a certain impact on Mei Xiaoqing at that time.
But more influence is still focused on Mei Xiaoqing's father.
Tang Fan has chased many TVB classic film and television series, but his favorite is "Dangwang Daddy", a classic film and television with laughter and tears.
TVB has indeed produced a number of classic masterpieces, but if you carefully read the works produced by Mei Xiaoqing, you will find that many of her works are related to "Daddy", "The Best Dad", "Daddy Closed", "Dangwang Daddy", etc., the presentation of these works is because Mei Xiaoqing was influenced by her father.
For Mei Xiaoqing to read this profession and engage in this industry, Mei Xiaoqing's father is very fond of it. Because as a father, I will be happy to see my daughter's name when watching the drama.
Mei Xiaoqing also filmed a lot of works related to her father, and at the same time, Mei Xiaoqing is also grateful to her father.
When my father watched film and television works, he observed many flaws and details that were not easy to discover. Before that, Mei Xiaoqing did not know that some of the points of the original film and television dramas that were not detected would be seen by the audience.
"You think no one will see it, but in fact there will always be someone to appreciate." It is precisely because of this belief that Mei Xiaoqing is personally involved in everything when producing and supervising the production of dramas, and is serious about the requirements of production. Only in this way will progress.
Mei Xiaoqing gives people the feeling that she is very strong and stoic. She does not cry easily, her face is expressionless, and her eyes are very hollow. But she is completely different from what she is doing. In order to make the production more perfect, she can't let go of any details.
In today's high-definition era, anything in the lens will be magnified, which makes Mei Xiaoqing's work attitude more serious, after all, the slogan of "force perfection" is not in vain.
This is also why the works produced by Mei Xiaoqing can be so high-quality and classic.
There is no doubt that the influence of her father's education on Mei Xiaoqing is particularly large. Among them, Mei Xiaoqing supervised the production of the TV series "The Best Father in the World", and put a lot of plots related to his father. In addition to filming "The Best Father", Mei Xiaoqing also made a lot of works related to her father.
She was very decadent about her father's departure, and even used her work to numb herself. But then Mei Xiaoqing thought that although her father had left, she still had her mother. She also believes that her father will see the film and television works she has produced, even if she leaves.
Mei Xiaoqing often remembers one of her father's beliefs, "If you can help people, help." Many of her father's thoughts, Mei Xiaoqing projected on her own works.
In addition to her father, Mei Xiaoqing also found that the film and television dramas she originally produced had a particularly large impact on the audience. At that time, when doing film and television promotion, some viewers once said to Mei Xiaoqing that because her son watched the drama she supervised, he understood the principle of "often going home to see".
The influence of the series can not be ignored, which is why many of the dramas produced by Mei Xiaoqing, although they are entertainment, will also spread positive energy, kindness and beauty, Liu Sanhao in "Palace Heart Plan", is an example.
For Mei Xiaoqing, she is worthy of others, worthy of herself, and recognized by the audience, and she will be ashamed.
Later, during mei Xiaoqing's production of the TV series "Roselle", she said that she edited "Roselle" in the later stage while editing fragments while crying. This is the romance of the drama, even if Mei Xiaoqing supervises the drama, it is easy to feel empathy.
Cai Shaofen once talked about the "Roselle" drama series in the interview program, she said that at the end of the "Zhen Mi tears with laughter" drama, she felt that Zhen Mi at that time was sad, but could not cry out, so what she presented was that Zhen Mi, who was half covered, was sad and sad, but did not shed tears.
But Mei Xiaoqing does not think so, she believes that in "Roselle", only Zhen Mi half-covered her face and cried out can move the audience and shake the audience. So this scene was filmed again, and the final effect presented was what the audience saw, Cai Shaofen wanted to stop talking and stopping "tears with laughter", achieving film and television classics.
For Mei Xiaoqing, the scenes that shake him most in "Roselle" are Ma Junwei's seven-step poem and Cai Shaofen's tearful smile. Mei Xiaoqing is a person who is very good at grasping the audience's heart, and the intention of "Roselle", coupled with the co-production of the production team, has also created the success of the series.
At the same time, Mei Xiaoqing is also very easy to empathize and put herself into the magical world of drama. With such care, it is no wonder that Mei Xiaoqing is called "gold medal producer".
Mei Xiaoqing gradually embarked on the road of supervising production from the very beginning as an assistant choreographer, which is definitely not easy. But she's also not a person who gives up easily. Facing what she likes to do, coupled with the influence of her father, it also determines that she will go farther and farther on the road of this career.
At the same time, Mei Xiaoqing's father also gave Mei Xiaoqing great support. Moreover, Mei Xiaoqing's father commented from the perspective of a bystander, which allowed Mei Xiaoqing to learn a lot from her father.
Tang Fan admired Mei Xiaoqing's experience, after all, in many film and television series, there are many such professional presentations. You know, the road of doing film and television behind the scenes and supervising production is not as easy as imagined.
We can't experience how real her experience is, we can only feel the bitterness through her description of her career journey.
For the AUDIENCE, the TV series just sees the presentation of the final effect in front of the screen and the screen. But behind the scenes of film and television episodes, how much do we know?
Mei Xiaoqing is indeed an excellent gold medal producer, and she also deserves the title of "Strong Woman in Film and Television Production". This is all because of her dedication to drama production, doing things herself, and not giving up in the face of setbacks and difficulties. Only to achieve today's Mei Xiaoqing.
No one can succeed casually, and so are the entertainers in front of the entertainment industry, and they are also behind the entertainment industry.
