Chapter 449: Troubles
Dong Guofan finally got his wish and got the position of director of "The Wandering Earth".
Of course, in the end, it was decided to let him direct, not only because of Chen Feng, Wu Hengjiang, and Tian Ming's good impression of him, but what really settled the result was a shooting plan analysis report made by Dong Guofan himself after reading the script of "The Wandering Earth".
This thing is very valuable, because Dong Guofan directly analyzed and classified most of the special effects shots in the movie, some need to make physical models, some are pure computer special effects, some need blue screen cutouts, etc., and he has listed a series of measures to reduce shooting costs as much as possible.
After reading this report, even Fang Cheng, who specializes in the later stage, was amazed.
"This person really understands the shooting methods of movies, especially special effects films, otherwise we can't do such an analysis, if we can really execute according to his plan, our post-production of special effects will be much easier. ”
"This is really rare, you know, at present, in our Chinese film circle, many directors have no awareness of special effects and post-production, and sometimes they come to the post-production to help them deal with a lot of shots after the film is finished...... The question is...... When they filmed, they didn't leave room for post-production special effects, and the result was even more difficult. ”
After listening to Fang Cheng's words, everyone recognized Dong Guofan even more, and in the end, Wu Hengjiang personally talked to him again, and when the conversation was over, Dong Guofan's eyes were red and he walked out of Wu Hengjiang's office without saying a word.
After Wu Hengjiang's secretaries and assistants saw Dong Guofan's expression, they thought that something had happened, however, there was no accident at all, the director of "The Wandering Earth" had already been determined, it was Dong Guofan.
Just now he was just a little overwhelmed with excitement, so he lost his mood, and after he walked out of the headquarters building of Beidou Entertainment, the whole person finally slowly calmed down.
Now he is very happy and satisfied, because he has persevered for many years of hard work and it has finally paid off.
In their industry, some people are very lucky, and after graduating and working for a year or two, they may soon find the opportunity to become a director and make their own films.
Some people are the pride of the sky, and they haven't even graduated yet, but they can be favored by some bigwigs with their talents, and they can make their own movies at any time, and they are very popular.
There are also some people who are geniuses, no matter what line of work they did before, anyway, as long as they have a little fame, they can also become so-called directors.
But most people are actually like Dong Guofan, who has been silently in the film and television industry for many years, and can still only be an assistant director, or even can only do chores in the crew, and they are not known to everyone.
But fortunately, Dong Guofan has never given up on his dream, although he has never really been a formal director, but he has always insisted on learning and maintained his inner enthusiasm.
So, now he finally got his own chance.
And it's an extraordinary opportunity.
"The Wandering Earth", a Chinese sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of at least 300 million!
The first movie he made as an official director was such a big production, and such a dream start was too dreamy.
Although Dong Guofan himself knows that making this movie will be very risky, because if it fails in the end, his reputation may also be damaged......
Wait, he's a rookie director, and he has a reputation for Mao...... Maybe other well-known directors will have this concern, but he Dong Guofan has no concerns at all.
Regardless of success or failure, this is a good experience for Dong Guofan.
Because of this, he dared to recommend himself, dared to write an analysis report that was not perfect after reading the script, and dared to look confident in front of a big boss like Wu Hengjiang.
So, in the end, he finally won this opportunity.
……
When the news that a rookie director Dong Guofan became the director of "The Wandering Earth" spread, there was an uproar in the circle.
"The Wandering Earth" attracted investment to the outside world but was unexpectedly cold, which has become a joke in the circle, and now it has been revealed that a new director has been selected, which makes people even more unsightly of this project.
If a well-known director can be invited to make this film, maybe many people will increase their confidence in this project because of the director's fame, and the result is like this......
No one believed that the film would succeed.
When the news first broke out, someone had already dug up Dong Guofan's personal information.
Well, at least he graduated from the directing department of a well-known college, and he also has the experience of studying abroad in the past...... However, how can you be a good director with this little thing alone?
Let's take a look at his work experience, well, in the early stage, he worked in many small crews, and in the later stage, he was an assistant director, to put it bluntly, he actually worked for the director, and he has never made a film himself.
That's it, he was selected as the main director of "The Wandering Earth" as soon as he came up?
The "Wandering Earth", which claims to invest at least 300 million?
You're not funny, aren't you?
After learning the news, many companies have changed from a wait-and-see attitude to a joke waiting to see Beidou Entertainment.
In the past, several small companies invested some money with the mentality of gambling on luck, and now they have also become the target of ridicule.
"Ding Xiangbei, that guy, I heard that he also invested two million in "The Wandering Earth"?"
"Hehe, it's okay if others have money to play casually, aren't Ding Xiangbei's broken companies about to go bankrupt?
"I guess it's with the mentality that the fish is dead and the net is broken...... He's going to go bankrupt anyway, and people are going to ...... casually."
"I heard that there is a new media company recently, what is it called Startup Media...... also invested millions ......"
"Start the media...... I've heard that this company seems to have something to do with the Xinhuang Group, what should be the inside story?"
"Insider fart, Wang Zhenshan, that old fox, if he is really optimistic about this project, why doesn't he vote for it? Just by virtue of his relationship with Wu Hengjiang, if it is a good thing, where will it be the turn of others to ......?"
"But...... Wang Zhenshan seems to have gone abroad recently, and when he heard that his precious son was in trouble abroad, he, the father, ran to wipe his son's ass again......"
"Uh...... The World of the Big Guy...... We don't understand ......."
However, it doesn't matter whether this start-up media has anything to do with Xinhuang Group, and whether Wang Zhenshan has any inside information...... Anyway, I'm not optimistic about the project "The Wandering Earth" at all......"
"Hehe, I can only say one thing, I wish those brothers who have invested money a lot of money next year!"
……
With the determination of the director and the ridicule of more insiders, "The Wandering Earth" is moving forward step by step.
Although the project is not as bad as it is rumored to be, in fact, it has encountered a lot of big and small troubles.
No, the director's matter has just been resolved, and there is a big problem with the actors.
Some of the well-known actors that Beidou Entertainment planned to invite before actually pushed away the previous verbal agreement.
In the case that "The Wandering Earth" is becoming less and less optimistic, the actors have also been affected.
