Chapter 101 Is it expected to be among the pinnacles of martial arts dramas?
Xue Jun, who is in his forties this year, is a screenwriter, and his directing ability is decent, not good, but not bad, he has filmed two TV series, and his reputation is acceptable, but his ratings are very average.
A director with such a resume grabs a handful.
Although Shanhe has just been established, with Zuo Le's current reputation in the circle, there is really not much shortage of people to take refuge into, but the threshold for Shanhe to recruit directors is very strict.
This is the meaning of Zuole.
The director is not an artist, he doesn't sign it, the company signed a director, he must not be allowed to eat rice, and he has to be filmed.
The director is the key to the quality of the finished product of a film and television work, no matter how good the script and fairy actors are, if they meet a pit director, then the play will be considered a waste.
With the current market of the Chinese film and television industry, a domestic crew with a normal structure will need at least tens of millions of investment.
In other words, if the director of a drama is not selected well, at least tens of millions of dollars will be wasted.
Although Zuo Le can still make money, he is still far from the two horse bosses, but he does not have tens of millions of capital to squander.
Therefore, for directors who want to defect to mountains and rivers, Zuo Le has high requirements, either a real elite director in the industry, or a potential stock like Gao Xinjian.
And the latter, too, needs to pass Zuo Le's investigation, and will not be easy to take the position for a while and a half.
With Xue Jun's achievements, he is definitely far from the elite director, and in terms of potential, let's not talk about how much he has, let's just say that with his nearly half a hundred years old, and his status in Kongwen is not low, he can't come to Shanhe as an "intern" like Gao Xinjian.
So, in the face of Xue Jun's self-recommendation, Zuo Le politely refused.
However, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Xue Jun was poured into Gao Xinjian, Zuo Le refused, and still didn't dispel his idea of changing jobs.
Xue Jun is very sincere and earnestly hopes that Zuo Le can give him a chance to join Shanhe.
Zuo Le and Kong Wen have also dealt with a lot, and it was the first time he saw the "foot of the wall" he touched on the hoe, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry, and he didn't know how to persuade this activist, so he casually made an excuse.
said that at present, Shanhe has just been established, the scale of the company is limited, and there is no plan to recruit directors to set up a large number of projects for the time being, if Xue Jun really wants to come to Shanhe, he can only be a screenwriter in the screenwriting department, and if the time is ripe in the future, he will become a director.
There is a way for people to go to high places, and water to flow to low places.
Xue Jun has now finally become a director from a screenwriter, how can he give up his current position and "return to his old business"?
Just when Zuo Le thought that as soon as his words came out, Xue Jun would dispel the idea of coming to Shanhe, but he didn't want Xue Jun to agree after thinking about it for two days.
This must be what a deep yearning and affection for mountains and rivers!
Zuo Le was moved, and opened the door of the editorial department of Shanhe to Xue Jun.
Xue Jun, as a veteran screenwriter of Kongwen, his own business ability is worthy of recognition, the director Shanhe can't afford to raise it, but a good screenwriter has always been a comer, as long as Xue Jun is willing to come, Zuo Le really dares to use him as a screenwriter.
...............
And here, hearing Zuo Le's relief, Xue Jun hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Xue Jun, who can make certain achievements in the system, is obviously not stupid, and it seems stupid to operate at a low level this time, but in fact, he has other considerations.
Few people know that Xue Jun has long had the idea of leaving Kongwen.
Although Kongwen has a very high level, because it is a literary troupe and focuses on stage plays, it has invested very little in TV dramas, even if there is a hit called "The Story of the Cooking Class" in front of him, there is no new action in the troupe.
This time, the filming of "The Story of the Health Team" was also the first to be proposed by Zuo Le, and Kong Wen immediately followed up.
The rigid and conservative actions of the leaders of the troupe have made many people in the troupe quite dissatisfied, and actors such as Yan Ni and Sha Yi have left the mountains and rivers, and there are also some reasons for this.
Of course, there are many reasons for Kongwen's "steady" development line, and the pot cannot be pinned on Guo Xin's regiment leaders, as a military unit, Kongwen has too many shackles and shackles, which cannot be solved by casually patting his head.
However, these are not in Xue Jun's consideration.
In his opinion, Kongwen is not a good platform for him to make a difference in the film and television industry, so Xue Jun has the idea of leaving Kongwen.
And the reason why he chose Shanhe is because Xue Jun sees the potential of Zhongshanhe, and the other is that Shanhe is now small, and there are only two directors when he is full, and Xue Jun feels that he is more likely to be reused.
In his opinion, under the leadership of Zuo Le, Sunward Pictures has broad prospects, and the company is bound to grow bigger, and when the company is big, his opportunity will come.
It was a gamble, but Xue Jun felt that he had a good chance of winning............
............
After that, Xue Jun became more attentive to his work in the crew of "The Story of the Health Team", striving to be seen by Zuo Le and leave a good impression on the future boss.
And, after discovering that Gao Xinjian poached Yin Li, he took the initiative to be an accomplice and actively integrated into the company's corporate culture.
In early July, the story of "The Story of the Health Team" was completed.
At almost the same time, the crew of "Seven Swords" also finished filming all the live shooting, only some green screen reshoots remained, and the main overall work of the crew was transferred to post-production and special effects production.
Spring City, Mountains and Rivers Pictures
Gao Xinjian, who came back from the capital, was startled when he saw Zuo Le, who had not seen him for more than two months.
The whole person has lost weight, his face is dark, and his skin is much rougher.
"Director Zuo, we were fine when we were on video a few days ago, why are you like this now. Gao Xinjian looked worried.
"That's because mobile phones come with beauty. ”
Zuo Le explained, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm out on the scene every day, exposed to the wind and sun, and I haven't maintained it much, so it's not a big problem, and I'll raise it back after a month or two." ”
Hearing that Zuo Le was fine, Gao Xinjian breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that you have suffered a lot of sins after running so far across the country this time." ”
These words almost didn't bring Zuo Le to tears, in the past few months, really, Zuo Le didn't know how he survived.
Physical exhaustion is still secondary, mainly because there is too much mental stress.
Zuo Le used to shoot in a special film and television base, but now he only knows how troublesome it is to operate when he goes out to shoot on location, especially in scenic spots, which involves all aspects, and there are countless problems coming to his door every day.
If Zuo Le is just a director, and these things are handled by investors and producers, he can still save some money.
But he is the owner of the crew, so Zuo Le can't avoid problems at all.
Zuo Le was worried about these messy chores, and at the same time, he had to be busy with the crew filming, and after a few months, he was really exhausted and exhausted.
The only thing that makes him happy is that his suffering was not in vain, and although the live-action shooting was sinful, the effect was also good.
Even Li Fang and Du Lei, who are well-informed in the circle, have said that "Seven Swords" is expected to be among the pinnacles of martial arts dramas.
