Chapter 4 The Master of Linguistics

4 Linguistics Master

That afternoon, Chen Fei and Li Yu came to Yuhe Film and Television.

Chen Fei conquered Li Yu with his superb shooting theory and techniques.

At this moment, the two of them are old friends, and their names have become Lao Li and Xiao Chen.

"Teacher Li Yu, why are you here?" Zhang Yuhe was very surprised when she saw Li Yu.

"Mr. Zhang, is that... the script of the kitchen team still there? I want to read it first!" Li Yu said.

What?

Zhang Yuhe was stunned.

"I am now a photographer of "The Story of the Cooking Class", so I want to read the script first and learn about this drama! Oh, by the way, let me show you the storyboard script, too." Li Yu said with a smile.

ah?

Zhang Yuhe was stunned.

After coming to her senses, she looked at Li Yu, then at Chen Fei again.

Chen Fei actually convinced Li Yu?

How is this possible?

Li Yu is a arrogant guy who doesn’t accept anyone, but now he has agreed to Chen Fei to come and shoot the TV series of the kitchen team!

An internationally renowned cinematographer is here to shoot a TV series?

This is incredible!

No!

It's definitely just luck.

Yes, it must be like this.

Chen Fei was just lucky.

A thousand thoughts instantly turned into Zhang Yuhe's heart.

At this time, Chen Fei came to her side, and he stretched out two fingers while Li Yu was not paying attention.

Two points, Mr. Zhang!

Chen Fei smiled and signaled.

But she didn't say anything, just gave Chen Fei a look: "Don't worry, I keep my word and will not be able to blame the debt!"

"Come on, try to sign him into the company."

She blinked at Chen Fei and hinted with her eyes.

Although she did not believe that Chen Fei could succeed, as the company boss, she must focus on encouragement.

Anyway, even if it is done, she will not only not suffer any losses but make a big profit.

As long as Li Yu joins, their Yuhe Film and Television will definitely make waves in the film and television industry. At that time, they will become famous!

They made a big profit!

After coming back to her senses, she stretched out her hand and shook Li Yu enthusiastically: "Welcome to the cooking crew! I'll let Xiao Yang send the script to you later."

"OK."

Seeing that they had finished greetings, Chen Fei said: "Mr. Zhang, we will start to study the establishment of the crew next. We want to choose an actor first. Please give me and Lao Li to see the actor information of the company. Let's do a preliminary selection."

Um?

After hearing this, Zhang Yuhe lost her mind again.

Li Yu also needs to participate in the selection of actors?

Hasn’t he always been uninvolved in these miscellaneous things? How did he take the initiative to participate at this moment?

She glanced at Li Yu with some disbelief, but Li Yu did not object and nodded to her with a smile.

Something strange!

Zhang Yuhe said secretly.

After a pause, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask Xiao Yang to bring the information."

After arranging the relevant matters, Zhang Yuhe walked towards her office.

After sitting in her office for three or four minutes, she still couldn't figure it out, so she called the secretary: "Xiao Yang, go and call Director Chen over and say I have something to ask him."

"Okay Mr. Zhang."

After a while, Chen Fei came to the office.

"Mr. Zhang, are you looking for me?"

"Director Chen, please sit down."

Chen Fei then sat down in front of Zhang Yuhe.

"Director Chen, can you tell me how you told Li Yu?" Zhang Yuhe asked softly.

"I didn't say much, I found his home, chatted with him, and then he said he wanted to learn photography from me..."

"What? Learn photography from you?" Zhang Yuhe almost shouted out.

A nationally outstanding photographer will learn photography from you, a young man in your twenties?

Zhang Yuhe only feels that her worldview has been subverted!

What's wrong with the world today? Why is it so weird?

After coming to his senses, Zhang Yuhe looked at Chen Fei, but saw that he had a calm expression and had no intention of joking.

"Teacher Li is really here to learn photography from you?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I don't understand what's going on. I rejected him a few times, but he was very persistent. I said I was very busy and was filming a TV series and didn't have time to teach him. Who knew he took the initiative to ask that he could come to our crew to help."

"So he became your photographer?" Zhang Yuhe felt even more unbelievable when she heard this.

"Actually, he is not a photographer either!" Chen Fei said.

What's the meaning?

Zhang Yuhe was stunned.

"His main job is photography, but he has to be responsible for some miscellaneous matters, such as director assistants and other work! So I asked him to come and choose actors together! Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhang, you can arrange for him if you have any problems in the future. We should try to control the cost and save as much as possible, right?"

“…”

Zhang Yuhe couldn't speak anymore.

"If Mr. Zhang has nothing to do, I will go back and do my job first?" Chen Fei said.

"I'll go over and take a look with you?" Zhang Yuhe stood up.

She found that she was increasingly unaware of Chen Fei. Although she had memorized his resume, the more she got along, the less she understood her. So she decided to stay with Chen Fei for a while.

She has signed a bet agreement with Chen Fei now. She has always been full of confidence before, but now, for some reason, she suddenly feels a little less confident.

After a while, the three of them sat together in Chen Fei's office.

Chen Fei asked Li Yu: "Old Li, how about it? Have you found a suitable actor?"

"Three found!" Li Yu said while handing the information to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei took the information and started to look at it one by one.

Next to him, Li Yu introduced his judgment: "Xiao Chen, this is what I think. Dazhou is from Northeast China, with a generous personality, and speaks and does things straightforwardly; Pang Hong is from Guangcheng, with a quick mind, so he is good at inventing Hong's provocation methods. Therefore, it is best for Dazhou to use actors from Northeast China, while Pang Hong uses actors from Guangcheng.

In addition, the six people in the kitchen came from six regions of the motherland, symbolizing the meaning of good men from all over the world gathering in the military camp, so our actors should also come from different regions.

I looked at their information and picked out three.”

Chen Fei looked at it: "Yang Zhen is not suitable for playing Da Zhou. In the script, Da Zhou is from Northeast China, but from the information, Yang Zhen left Northeast China at the age of three and has been living in the south since then, so his Northeast dialect must have changed and is not pure. Da Zhou wants to find someone who can speak a pure Northeast accent."

After hearing this, Li Yu raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuhe, then nodded and said, "Then...... the actor Dazhou can only be chosen from other places!"

"Then choose from other places." Chen Fei said.

Zhang Yuhe hesitated for a moment and asked, "Director Chen, do you have to use dialect?"

"Must!" Chen Fei nodded and paused. He explained: "If the kitchen team does not use Fangdian, then the drama will fail. Whether Fangdian is good or not directly determines whether the drama can succeed."

Zhang Yuhe frowned. To be honest, she was always suspicious about this point.

However, Chen Fei was very persistent in this regard. The screenwriter of "The Story of the Cooking Class" was Shang Jing. After "The Story of the Cooking Class" became popular, many experts analyzed the key to the success of the drama. The most important point is the humor language, or more accurately, the application of humorous dialects.

Seeing that Zhang Yuhe was still a little puzzled, Chen Fei had to explain: "From the perspective of linguistics, or use various linguistic theories to analyze and explore, in order to achieve the humorous effect of sitcom, the language should be based on the principles of cooperation, politeness, incongruence theory, correlation theory, etc., as well as some rhetorical techniques, and the use of dialects of the kitchen class is such a method."

Chen Fei talked eroticly.

But both Zhang Yuhe and Li Yu were stunned.

Isn’t Chen Fei the director?

Why did you suddenly become a master of linguistics?
