Chapter 160: It's a pity to prepare
Race?
Zhou Ming's sudden proposal made everyone in the studio stunned, including Guzmán and Antonio, they didn't understand why Zhou Ming suddenly made such a proposal, and of course, what made them even more puzzled was what Zhou Ming wanted to compete?
"Sir, I don't understand what exactly you want to compete, but I want to tell you that although I have signed a contract with the national telecommunications company, the content of the contract is only within the scope of the advertising shooting, and it does not mean that I will accompany you to do some boring things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Guzman reminded Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming nodded: "Of course I understand, in fact, I don't plan to make any excessive demands on Director Guzman, and the competition I mentioned is also related to this advertising shooting." ”
Guzmán seemed to understand something, so he smiled: "Sir, don't tell me that the competition you said is that we each shoot a commercial, and then let people judge which of us shoots well." ”
Not only Guzmán, but when they heard his words, everyone else in the studio also laughed and joked, Guzmán is the most prestigious director in the whole of Mexico, who has interned in Hollywood and has been exposed to the most high-end film art in the United States, otherwise there would be no post-production special effects, which is currently the world's top shooting technology. And you, a businessman, want to shoot with Guzmán, isn't that an axe?
"Even though I've made movies and received good box office, I still don't know anything about filmmaking. Zhou Ming replied honestly.
"Mr. Zhou Ming seems to be very self-aware, after all, some movies will be a little unscrupulous in order to attract investment, even if it is normal to sell a few producers. Guzman said.
"Mr. Zhou Ming is definitely not a production name bought with money!" Carlos spoke firmly for Zhou Ming.
However, Guzmán ignored Carlos's words, and then asked Zhou Ming: "So since it's about advertising and not shooting, I'm curious about what your competition will be, sir?"
"About the idea and synopsis of the advertisement. Zhou Ming said, "To put it simply, director Guzmán and I each write down an advertising idea and synopsis about the contract machine project, briefly describe our core ideas, and then anonymously take it out for others to judge, so that other directors or ordinary people can make a choice without knowing whose plan it is, and see which of us is chosen more times in the end." ”
When Zhou Ming finished speaking, he saw that the people around him were looking at Zhou Ming with strange expressions, and that feeling was like looking at an idiot.
In the end, Guzmán's assistant couldn't help but say to Zhou Ming: "This gentleman, I guess you definitely don't know anything about the Mexican film and television industry, right? Because anyone who has a certain understanding of this industry will definitely know Director Guzmán, and what he is best at is writing ideas and synopses, and even a synopsis of our director Guzmán sold for a sky-high figure of one million pesos not long ago!"
Zhou Ming spread his hands in some surprise: "Is this the case? Then I just hit the muzzle of the gun." ”
Guzman was very proud: "So if Mr. Zhou Ming wants to change the way you play, I think it's okay." ”
Zhou Ming shook his head: "Since the words have already been spoken, there is no point in making changes, besides, what I am proposing is the creativity and synopsis of the advertisement, maybe there will be a certain opportunity?"
As Zhou Ming's words came out, they were suddenly greeted with ridicule around them, although they didn't dare to say anything sarcastically because of Zhou Ming's identity, their eyes were undoubtedly mocking Zhou Ming's indiscretion. Even Antonio was whispering to persuade Zhou Ming not to bet on this pointless anger.
"My vice chairman, this is not a pointless gamble, but it is about our advertising and marketing, and I have to find a way to convince this overly conceited director. Zhou Ming explained to Antonio.
"Judging by your current attitude, then you have already decided to fight me, right?"
Guzman asked, Zhou Ming nodded resolutely and said yes, Guzman clapped his hands and said: "I applaud your courage, and I can also promise you that if you can beat me in this competition, then I will do whatever you say about shooting this advertisement." ”
Zhou Ming waved his hand: "That's not necessary, you are the best director in Mexico, how about the specific shooting process and lens language, you are more experienced in this area, I just need you to help me highlight what I need to express." ”
Zhou Ming's serious answer made Zhou Ming in an uproar, and some people even couldn't help but speak: "I really don't know where he got the confidence to say this, as if he had won Director Guzman." This Chinese man really doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, maybe he has some achievements in business, but businessman, you can do your business well, and you can also understand the art of shooting this film?"
"That is to say, I think he is the heir of a family at such a young age, I always think that he is the center of the world, and everyone has to revolve around him, pretending to understand it very well, but in fact, I don't even understand the most basic things such as the three-point rule and the high-angle lens of the supervisor shot, I just hope that he won't just mess around here after losing to Director Guzman......"
Guzmán raised his hand to stop the intensifying discussion around him, and then said to Zhou Ming: "It seems that you are very confident in yourself and will not make any more changes, so let's agree on two hours, after two hours, we will each take out our own works and anonymously show them to colleagues in other studios and other staff and fans who don't understand movies to evaluate, do you think this is okay?"
"Of course, no problem, then Director Guzmán, we'll see you in two hours. Zhou Ming said.
Guzmán also left Zhou Ming a sentence of "see you in two hours", and then turned to leave, after he left, Zhou Ming and Antonio were also led by the studio staff to the studio office.
"This is the office where the writers and directors usually do their on-set creations, so good luck to you. The staff member jokingly said this and closed the door.
In the office, Antonio and Carlos looked at each other, and Antonio couldn't help but ask Zhou Ming: "Chairman, since you have decided this competition, it means that you are very confident, right?"
Zhou Ming's answer made Antonio vomit blood: "I'm sorry, I don't have any confidence. ”
Antonio was stunned on the spot: Big brother, you don't have any confidence, why are you still so happy to promise? And you are still so serious that if you win the result, don't you know that pretending to be B will be struck by lightning?
Zhou Ming explained: "Although I don't have confidence, but instead of letting this Guzmán director ruin my marketing advertisement, I feel that I still have to do something, in case I don't know my identity, my creativity can conquer the audience more?
Antonio was even more speechless when he heard this explanation: "My chairman, are you going to compare the script with director Guzmán because of an illusory hope? This is completely unnecessary, and the premise of the salted fish turning over is that he is already a salted fish, but you are the chairman of the national telecommunications company, not a salted fish! Why do you have to do this?"
Seeing that he couldn't explain Antonio, Zhou Ming had to change his way: "Maybe what you said makes sense, but now that things have come to this point, then we can only do this." ”
Antonio wanted to go crazy, but the vice chairman's reason also told him that now was not the time to go crazy, so he could only choose to let Zhou Ming go in the end. But in fact, no matter what Antonio's thoughts were, it didn't affect Zhou Ming, and after Zhou Ming finished talking to Antonio, he took the blank manuscript paper prepared on the table and began to write.
Zhou Ming's creation is very hard, because the script he has been most exposed to in his past life and this life is probably the sketch that he picked up from the video at the company's New Year's party in his previous life, as for advertisements and film and television scripts, he has never seen them at all.
But fortunately, Zhou Ming has done a lot of project planning before, at least he doesn't know where to start, but even so, Zhou Ming almost spent two full hours, and it took countless revisions to finally complete it.
Zhou Ming walked out of the office with his finalized advertising idea and synopsis, and he found Guzmán already waiting in the studio.
"I'm just out of the office now, and I don't want to say much else, but at least I still admire your seriousness. Guzman said to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming just smiled casually at this, after all, this is not a compliment, at least the people around him don't think so, don't you laugh out loud when you don't see their ridicule?
Both Zhou Ming and Guzmán then handed over their belongings to the scene reporters in the studio, in order to prevent anyone from guessing their identities through the notes and thus affecting their judgment, so their things had to be re-transcribed by the same person.
When the scene recorded the works of Zhou Ming and Guzmán, An Lina and the other staff members all stretched out their heads curiously to look at Zhou Ming's works, and when they saw them, they immediately exclaimed: "Isn't this story the work of our previous director Guzmán?"
Carlos explained to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming has never opposed Director Guzmán's creation, he just thinks that Director Guzmán has failed to highlight the key points!"
This explanation was greeted with a wave of boos: "Obviously, you just don't have the ability to make up stories! Originally, not everyone can do this kind of thing, and we can understand it, but it's not good for you to hide it yourself, why do you want to come out and be embarrassed? I thought that the performance of such a sworn performance just now could really come up with a very powerful work, and the feeling is just to copy the things directed by Guzmán? Then the whole world is a great director!"
Guzmán's assistant also said: "It seems that director Guzmán is a little too serious, he even rewrote a script, I don't know how many times stronger than this thing that only knows plagiarism!"
The assistant's words surprised everyone: "What? Director Guzmán actually rewrote a book?"
In the face of everyone's surprise, the assistant proudly said: "Of course, our director is a world-class screenwriter and director, and he is better at creativity and writing synopsis, and for this reason, he has been appreciated by Oscar-winning gold medal directors in Hollywood, and it is not difficult for him to rewrite a high-quality work in two hours." ”
"Obviously, Director Guzmán has made a lot of preparations for this competition, and he wants to do his best to win!" the assistant continued, "It's just a shame......
