The General Art Troupe of the Chinese Air Force has a long history, as early as the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was established, and is the most prestigious literary and artistic group of the military's second-level art troupe (five major military branches), with a strong creative and cast lineup, and has won numerous honors at home and abroad.

Zuo Le had heard of Kongwen's reputation for a long time, but he didn't know that Meijiang actually came out of Kongwen, and he was still a descendant, if he hadn't changed jobs and went to CCTV, now Bacheng would have become the deputy head of the regiment.

The two left the hotel and drove to Kongwen on the way, and under Mei Jiang's active explanation, Zuo Le finally understood the cause and effect of the incident.

Here's the thing: next year, on the 70 th anniversary of the founding of the army, the authorities are interested in carrying out a number of military-themed artistic and cultural works and activities, and as a literary and artistic group affiliated to the military, Kongwen naturally received such a task.

Originally, according to the usual practice, art troupes like Kongwen generally produce dramas or stage plays, but because CCTV and a certain bureau are engaged in military-themed film and television projects this time, several art troupes have moved their minds and want to participate in it.

After all, from the perspective of influence, dramas are definitely not as wide as movies and TV dramas.

However, CCTV's attitude towards this is very interesting, they have money, people and resources, and they don't care about these art troupes, so they don't want to take them to play.

The art troupe also has a temper here, if you don't take me down, Lao Tzu will pull the team up by himself.

However, the resources of the art troupe are limited, and it is unrealistic to spend hundreds of millions of dollars like CCTV, even if it is a film and television drama, it is a small cost.

In this way, the genre of sitcom has entered their eyes.

Many of the leaders of the army's art troupe are literary and art workers of the older generation, and many of them are not very accustomed to the current popular military productions of planes, artillery, submarines, and tanks.

Although it looks majestic and inspiring, it gives the audience and their military full of pride.

But but when I broke free from this feeling of excitement and reminisced carefully, I always felt a little unreal, unable to reflect the real life of the troops, and there was no sense of life.

However, if we engage in a military-themed sitcom, which focuses on the daily life of the troops and reflects the true demeanor of the troops in a relaxed and cordial way, from a certain point of view, its effect on the army's propaganda is no worse than that of piling up those planes and cannons.

However, a good sitcom is more difficult to shoot than a TV series, and to meet these requirements, you need a group of good actors, screenwriters and directors.

And the most important thing for the art troupe is good actors and screenwriters, so the only problem is to find a director who is good at making sitcoms.

And the most famous sitcom director in 16 years is none other than Zuo Le, who filmed "Underground Traffic Station".

Needless to say, Lu Wen and Kongwen, who are most interested in the sitcom project, heard that Zuo Le was in the capital, and they asked someone to help connect them.

Lu Wen was looking for Feng Zisheng, but unfortunately he was a step late.

Kongwen is looking for Meijiang who works at CCTV, but it happened that Meijiang and Zuo Le knew each other, so they started first, and directly turned Zuo Le straight to Kongwen's base camp - Kongwen Art Center.

............

When he arrived at the place, Zuo Le got off the car and Mei Jiang went to meet the leader of Kongwen, and while walking on the road, Zuo Le found that the area of this art center is really not small, with an office building, dormitory area, rehearsal area and even a performance theater, which is about to catch up with a university campus.

Mei Jiang is worthy of being born in the Kongwen lineage, and people kept greeting him along the way, he responded with a smile one by one, many people were curious about Zuo Le who was following him, and Mei Jiang didn't say it directly, just turned around and knew it.

In this way, Mei Jiang sold all the way and took Zuo Le to the office of Guo Xin, the head of the Kongwen regiment.

When the two entered the door, Guo Xin was talking to a black and tall man, the black man seemed to have a good relationship with Guo Xin, with a hippie smile on his face, and saw someone coming in to restrain a little, but when he saw that there was an old acquaintance of Meijiang, he immediately returned to normalcy and greeted him happily.

"Oh mom, the CCTV leader is here. ”

Mei Jiang scolded with a smile: "Get out, what trouble is your kid causing again, come to the regiment commander's office for training." ”

The black man was full of indignation: "What are you talking about, what trouble can I cause with such an honest character as Zhou Binbin, the head of the regiment called me to praise me, praise me for my good business during this time, and want to promote me." ”

"Okay, don't talk in vain, you didn't leave in advance, I still have business to talk about with Lao Mei. ”

As soon as the head of the regiment Guo Xin spoke, the black man Zhou Binbin stopped talking, said hello to Mei Jiang and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw Zuo Le, his figure was stunned, he seemed to recognize him, he grinned at Zuo Le, and Zuo Le nodded back.

Piggybacking on his feet and closing the door, hiding the figures of the three people in the office, Zhou Binbin quickly took out his mobile phone and clicked on a Feixin group marked "Kongwen Future Star Group".

"Big news, Zuo Le, who filmed "Underground Transportation Station", came over with Lao Mei, and is now in Lao Guo's office. ”

This Feixin group is quite active, and someone replied immediately after Zhou Binbin's message was sent.

[Hong Tao]: It seems that the news that the group is going to shoot a sitcom is true, and Zuo Le has been invited, which is the hottest sitcom director in China.

[Lin Yongjian]: I don't know if I have a chance to play a role, I really like to watch "Underground Transportation Station", and I want to cooperate with Director Zuo.

[Gao Xinjian]: I also really want to cooperate with Director Zuo, and it is best to learn directing knowledge from him.

[Zhou Binbin]: @高新建, what's wrong with the new construction, enough filming and filming, I want to use a loudspeaker to train people.

[Yan Ni]: Don't be crooked, do you think there can be a female character in this sitcom in the group, I want to try.

[Sha Yi]: It's not easy to say, I heard that it is a military theme, even if there are female characters, it is estimated that there will not be too many scenes.

[Yan Ni]: T^T

[Mao Xiao]: Touch your head

[Jiang Chao]: Touch your head +1

[Sha Yi]: Touch your head +2

[Zhou Binbin]: Nier, brother will give you a loving hug.

[Yan Ni]: Get out!

............

Just when the Feixin group chat was in full swing, Zuo Le and Guo Xin, the head of the Kongwen group, also talked to each other.

Guo Xin is in his early 60s this year, with a Chinese face, wearing an air force uniform of a four-star officer, and looks very energetic.

He was very enthusiastic about Zuo Le's attitude, and when he came up, he praised Zuo Le's "Underground Traffic Station", saying that it was the best sitcom he had seen since the new century of China.

Zuo Le is not a rookie who has just come out of the donkey, let the two good words of the family boast flutteringly, and repeatedly expressed modesty, the two of you said so many clichés back and forth, Guo Xin saw that Zuo Le did not leak, and he was too lazy to play any more flowers, and talked about business.

Kong Wen wanted to make a military-themed sitcom, and wanted to invite Zuo Le to direct and participate in the script creation.

Of course, Guo Xin also knows that with Zuole's current coffee position, there is no shortage of investment and projects in his hands.

So in front of Zuo Le Guo Xin, if Zuo Le agrees to this matter, funds, actors, remuneration and other aspects, within a reasonable range, Kongwen will fully support and cooperate, and what Kongwen can't solve is the Air Force.

Kongwen's sincerity is not insufficient, Zuo Le said that he was very satisfied, as mentioned earlier, filming military dramas requires a certain military background as an endorsement, even if Zuo Le has Dongshantai as the backing.

In this case, in Zuo Le's view, there is no essential difference between cooperation with Kongwen and cooperation with the Dongshan Military Region.

Even because Kongwen himself is an insider, it will be relatively more convenient and tacit when Zuo Le cooperates.

However, although he was willing to cooperate with Kongwen in his heart, Zuo Le did not respond immediately, after all, he is now a person from Dongshan Terrace, and cooperating with Kongwen to shoot a TV series must be agreed by the station.

Zuo Le felt that this matter was not a big problem, Chen Changshan and Lao Fang were not pedantic people, and it was beneficial and harmless to cooperate with Kongwen, so they had no reason to stop it............
