Chapter 316: Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs
"Whew!"
Chu Yuan read the script and took a breath.
"You, you, you......"
He didn't expect that Zhou Mu would be so bold, which simply subverted all his impressions of Zhang Bo.
"Severe illness under heavy medicine. ”
Zhou Mu said with a smile: "If you don't break the public's fixed impression of Zhang Bo, how can you break it and stand up and recreate the world?"
"Do you call this a broken and then standing?"
Chu Yuan wiped his sweat, his eyes were full of jealousy, "Zhou Mu ......"
He won't be called Teacher Zhou anymore.
"I'm leaving, is it too late?"
Chu Yuan smiled bitterly, he felt that he seemed to have fallen into a big pit.
"Yes. ”
Zhou Mu wrote lightly: "But Director Chu, you also have to think about it carefully, if you miss this village with such an opportunity, there will be no such shop." ”
"There is only one chance to touch porcelain. ”
Zhou Mu said without reservation: "Zhang Bo's biopic has been warmed up in various ways before filming. ”
"It's only been filmed for a month now, and it's also a lot of turmoil, and even a 'small event' like the water in the main corner can make headlines. ”
Zhou Mu chuckled, and with a somewhat demagogic tone, he induced: "Director Chu, you should know what it means to borrow chickens to lay eggs." ”
"If you read my script, you should know that there are not many big scenes in this movie, and it can be shot in two months at most, plus more than half a month of post-production......"
Zhou Mu smiled and said: "I dare to guarantee that this movie is drawn, and Mo Huaixuan may not finish filming the biopic of "Zhang Bo". ”
This means that their current propaganda and popularity are all mine. ”
"Blame is yours. ”
Chu Yuan shook his head, "Believe it or not, as soon as your movie was released, a bunch of celebrities in the literary world came out to criticize you, and you have to face the situation that Qianfu pointed out." ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Zhou Mu said confidently: "I believe that after the movie is released, most of the audience will stand on my side and refute the literary celebrities in turn." ”
"Besides, in the promotion of the movie, we call this dispute controversial. Controversial movies are more likely to attract the public to the theater. ”
Zhou Mu planned with great interest, "So when the time comes, if no one scolds, we can also concoct a few articles ourselves and point the finger at ourselves." ”
And this operation?
Chu Yuan's face was confused, and he couldn't figure out whether it was true or not.
"Curator Chu......"
Zhou Mu spoke again, "Do you know why I came to you for this matter, instead of Mr. Bu Jin or Mr. Long Yan?"
"Because they tend to be traditional and conservative?" Chu Yuan said casually, "Or do you think I'm easier to talk?"
"Nope. ”
Zhou Mu shook his head and said seriously: "Because compared to others, you are more determined to forge ahead, and you have a greater sense of crisis, and you know that Zhang Bo's culture has been declining, and it is time to make changes." Others, however, indulge in false prosperity and do nothing. ”
"So even if I don't have any friendship with Curator Chu, in order to break this deadlock, I'd rather go near and far and cooperate with you. ”
Zhou Mu said sincerely: "I hope we can join hands to open up a new path for the spread of Zhang Bo culture." ”
"......" Chu Yuan was entangled.
Zhou Mu's eloquence is not so good, and he can speak wildly and change a person's will. In fact, Chu originally had similar thoughts in his heart.
It's just that he didn't have the opportunity to put his ideas into practice.
Now Zhou Mu came to the door and handed out an olive branch. A ladder was placed at his feet, and he hesitated whether to go down or not.
“...... How are you going to let me cooperate?" Chu Yuan asked.
Zhou Mu smiled, "It's very simple......"
!
bustling old streets.
All kinds of "ancients", with flowing clothes and rubbing shoulders.
The rail car followed these "ancients" and moved slowly. In mid-air, there is also a huge rocker arm, swinging with the lens of the same track.
"Click!"
Mo Huaixuan checked for a moment, his brows furrowed, "Remake!"
"Remake ......"
As soon as the scene reporter heard this, he immediately raised the loudspeaker and shouted, "No. 1 and No. 2, if you go to the wrong position again, get out of ......."
"Three, four, watch the distance. ”
"And ......"
The field reporter put down the horn and reminded the gaffer, "Man, when the lights are on, don't be too bright, it's exposed." ”
"Roger!"
A group of people adjust, each in place......
Syllable!
The filming of the movie is so boring.
Often a shot, due to the wrong details, needs to be shot repeatedly.
For a month, the progress was relatively slow.
Fortunately, Qi Hongxiang, together with Mo Huaixuan and others, also knew that this kind of thing was not in a hurry, so they were very patient and grinded slowly.
Slow work and meticulous work can create high-quality products. What's more, this biopic is mainly shot in real action and does not have many special effects.
After filming, there are fewer post-production processes.
Balanced, progress is not slow.
But......
When reshooting, someone cautiously came behind Mo Huaixuan and reported softly: "Director, Mr. Qi has come to visit the class." ”
"Let him wait. ”
Mo Huaixuan didn't look back, and continued to stare at the camera.
“......”
Qi Hongxiang stood nearby, and there was no expression on his face, but an assistant beside him couldn't help but whisper, "It's too rampant, when I was filming just now, I didn't see how attentive he was, but now I see you coming, but he shows this posture and artificiality." ”
"That is, Mr. Qi, you are open-minded, so you can tolerate him. ”
The assistant flattered, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have fired him a long time ago and changed to a director." ”
Qi Hongxiang was noncommittal.
What Mo Huaixuan's temperament is, it is not within his consideration. As long as he can make a good show and help him make a lot of money, he is a good director.
On the contrary, hehe!
"Mr. Qi!"
At this moment, Meng Qingzhou came over and called out respectfully, his attitude was very humble, "You don't say a word when you come, so that everyone can go out to greet you." ”
"Filming matters. Qi Hongxiang said gently: "I can't delay everyone's work because I am alone." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for everyone's sake. Meng Qingzhou smiled gratefully, and said with interest: "Teacher Qi is putting on makeup, I'll go and inform her." ”
I can't write two Qi characters in one stroke.
No matter what kind of relationship Qi Hongxiang has with Qi Qingxi, he also has the eye anyway, and knows to remind the other leading actors and tell everyone that the big financier is here, hurry up and come to visit.
Qi Hongxiang did not stop him.
The assistant next to him whispered again: "Mr. Qi, this kid is still sensible." Newcomers are good at this, diligent, hardworking, obedient ......"
Qi Hongxiang's expression was indifferent.
He also agreed with the assistant.
directors, stars, and most importantly, are obedient and willing to be tools.
It's okay to have ambitions, but this ambition must be under his control. If anyone wants to get out of his control, then what awaits the other party must be his thunderous fury.
Now, for example, he feels like something is out of his control. Although the problem is not big, he feels uncomfortable.
"What?"
After a while, Mo Huaixuan finished filming a scene and came over to inquire about Qi Hongxiang's intentions.
Seeing his distraction, Qi Hongxiang didn't mind, and repeated it again, "Zhou Mu announced on the Internet that he would start filming a movie with the theme of "Zhang Bo" on the same day. ”
"Haha......"
Mo Huaixuan was overjoyed and laughed: "There has been no movement for more than a month, I thought he was going to retreat." I didn't expect him to have more head iron than I expected, it's so good!"
If Zhou Mu retreats and does not make a movie with this theme, then even if he discloses the news and the other party does not admit it, he will at most verbally mock two sentences and take advantage of a little advantage.
But now, the other party took the initiative to announce the news and publicly wanted to make a Zhang Bo movie. It's like sticking his neck out and giving him a chance to seal his throat with a knife.
Mo Huaixuan was excited, "Quick, bring the phone, I'm going to help him forward ......"
Forward?
Cut, laugh at it.
Everyone muttered, knowing Mo Huaixuan's thoughts, this was to confirm this matter, so that Zhou Mu had no chance to change his words.
"There's no hurry. ”
Qi Hongxiang waved his hand, "This is a trivial matter, mainly because after he announced, someone gave him a platform to serve as the producer and art director of his film." ”
"Who?"
Mo Huaixuan is not stupid.
knew something that could be notified with a phone call, but Qi Hongxiang came over to tell it in person, and the problem should be not small.
"Chu Yuan. ”
Qi Hongxiang said directly: "Director of Zhang Bo Cultural Memorial Hall, Vice President of Zhang Bo Cultural Promotion Committee, and Director of Zhang Bo Cultural Research Institute......
The title of more than 100 words was pronounced out of Qi Hongxiang's mouth. Every time he added an additional title, Mo Huaixuan's brows wrinkled a little.
Finally, the wrinkles on his forehead had become dense cobwebs, crisscrossing them.
People are not the key, the key is the influence behind it.
Or rather, he's a little weak-hearted.
Because he also knows that some people in the cultural circle have always had complaints about him succeeding Zhang Huang and directing this movie.
If it weren't for Qi Hongxiang's background to the sky, he would suppress these opposing voices.
It is estimated that now, the director's position is still inconclusive.
After all, in the industry, there are many big directors who are similar to Zhang Huang's coffee position. With their experience and ability, they can also be qualified for this position.
Therefore, Mo Huaixuan is even more eager to prove his skills through this movie.
As long as the movie is successful, he will be a great director recognized by the public.
International director!
That's his goal.
Ambition!
"By the way, it was Chu Yuan who persuaded Zhou Mu before and agreed to authorize the poems to us. ”
Qi Hongxiang said again: "But I didn't expect that Zhou Mu turned around and pulled him into his camp. ”
"Humph!"
Mo Huaixuan reacted and found a flaw, "What about Chu Yuan, he is a pure layman, what kind of movies do he know? ”
If it's not a name, so much the better.
Laymen guide insiders, and there are more than enough failures.
"All I want is a name. ”
Qi Hongxiang reminded: "Mr. Bu Jin and Mr. Long Yan have withdrawn from the list of main creators, and they do not interfere with your creation, which is naturally a good thing." With fewer people pointing fingers, the style of the film is more cohesive. ”
"But ......"
He made a twist, "Without a few cultural scholars on the platform, opponents can completely slander our films, and they will not be officially recognized." ”
Instead, the other party's film hired professional academics as art directors to participate in the production of the film throughout the process. ”
Qi Hongxiang's expression was a little dignified, "If the other party plays this card and declares that he is the orthodox, wouldn't we be very passive." ”
In an instant, Mo Huaixuan's face turned pale, "Where did he get his face?"
"Publicity, he doesn't say it himself, and finds someone to hint on the Internet, and the effect is the same. Qi Hongxiang felt a headache.
This is one of the possibilities that his think tank has analyzed.
After all, the promotion of the movie never talks about moderation, as long as it has an effect, it must be done to the extreme.
The key is that Mo Huaixuan himself is not orthodox.
He was a "usurper" to the top. If one day, Zhang Huang stood up and said, "The disciples are disobedient and not the sons of men." ”
The righteousness created by Mo Huaixuan was completely destroyed.
Fortunately, the film has the investment of Brilliant Pictures, and if Gu Hui doesn't want to invest in nothing, he should try his best to appease Zhang Huang.
In this regard, everyone has a tacit understanding and there is no need to worry.
The only thing to worry about is that Zhou Mu actually won over cultural scholars to stand up for himself and have the opportunity to grab the name of righteousness, which is worth worrying.
After all, from the very beginning, he was the protagonist of Zhang Huang's "King" movie. He has been the protagonist for more than half a year, which is almost deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he has a lot of sympathy.
Now he announced that he was going to shoot "Zhang Bo" and be the starring role. There are also well-known experts and scholars who stand on the platform to endorse and shout, which is justifiable......
"Despicable. ”
Mo Huaixuan's eyes were cold, he was still calm, and asked: "Mr. Qi, since you have seen through the other party's plan, there should be a way to break the situation and resolve it." ”
"There must be a way. ”
Qi Hongxiang nodded and said, "However, I want to be wronged and don't guide you......"
"Needless to say. ”
Mo Huaixuan was thorough, "In two days, when I have taken a few important shots, I will go to visit Bu Jin and Shi Longyan to take a blame." Even if they are kneeling, they must be invited back and sit in the crew. ”
"Good!"
Qi Hongxiang smiled, and his evaluation of Mo Huaixuan in his heart was one point higher.
If you can bend and stretch, you are a big husband.
If he is just angry with Zhou Mu, but he carelessly ignores the overall situation, then Qi Hongxiang really has to consider whether to continue to cooperate with the other party after this movie.
"What else?"
Mo Huaixuan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qi, what is the specific situation of the movie he made, have you inquired about the situation?"
"I sent someone to find out. ”
Qi Hongxiang frowned, "But I haven't heard that there has been a large-scale inflow of funds into the film market in the capital industry recently." ”
The circle is so big, and some things are kept secret, and there are rumors circulating.
After all, the turnover and flow of money is the most touching to people's hearts.
If he enters, others will enter.
This is the trend of the times, and he can't stop it. However, paying attention to who your competitors are, this is a necessary homework, and he will definitely not slack off.
The problem is that he can't find out which one is behind the scenes, supporting Zhou Mu to shoot the epic blockbuster "Zhang Bo".
"Mr. Qi, this is your problem. ”
Mo Huaixuan said politely: "I am only responsible for shooting, and you are in charge of things other than the movie, and you are responsible for properly solving them."
"No problem!"
Qi Hongxiang is as stable as Mount Tai, like Yuanyu Yuezhi, and his bearing is heartbreaking!
