"Hello. ”

Cheng Jun shook hands with Luo Kai, and then said to Mo Lan with a smile: "Last time you were engaged, your father called me to go to drink wedding wine together, but unfortunately I couldn't catch up when I was out on a business trip.

"I came here this time to have a good time, just to see how your vision is. ”

He turned his head again, glanced at Luo Kai seriously, nodded and said, "The young man is not bad, he is barely worthy of Lan Lan." ”

Director Gao and Manager Wang both laughed, Mo Lan hugged Luo Kai's arm, and said immodestly (very proudly): "This is my own choice, it will definitely not be bad!"

Luo Kai couldn't laugh or cry, he was thirty years old, and he was still called a young man.

But Luo Kai didn't dare to underestimate the Uncle Cheng in front of him, not only because the other party was Mo Lan's father's comrade-in-arms, but also because Hongqi Film and Television was an extremely transcendent existence in the film and television industry.

The predecessor of Hongqi Film and Television is Hongqi Studio, whose history can be traced back to the war-torn era, and is also the first film studio in New China, which has shot hundreds of films over the past few decades, and has been reorganized into today's film and television group after entering the new century.

At that time, Hongqi Studios mainly shot movies with the main theme, and one classic masterpiece after another has deeply influenced several generations, so its position in the film industry is irreplaceable.

Although the current Hongqi Film and Television has already embarked on the road of marketization, it is still a national film and television production unit, with very strong strength, and the strong background is also incomparable to that of Jiandun Film and Television, which is also an official brand.

Cheng Jun said that he came to see how Luo Kai was, but Luo Kai felt that things were not so simple.

Sure enough, when he and Mo Lan invited the three leaders into the VIP box, Director Gao of Jiandun Film and Television motioned for the two to sit down together, and then said: "Xiao Luo, in fact, the three of us came over together this time, in addition to joining in the fun, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you." ”

Luo Kai hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”

At this time, Manager Wang opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out a thick book from it and handed it to Luo Kai: "You take a look at this first." ”

Luo Kai took it and stared.

"100 Hours of Victory!—2016 North African Evacuation Operation", author: Zhang Weihua.

In May and June last year, a serious civil war broke out in the North African country of Sayato, and the capital Leader was in flames, when tens of thousands of expatriates in Sayyato faced a life-and-death crisis.

Under such circumstances, the Third Fleet, which was carrying out escort missions in the Gulf of Aden at that time, urgently went to Lid, and the sea, land and air forces worked together to evacuate 42,581 expatriates in Sayatou in less than five days, and none of them died, creating an amazing miracle that shocked the world.

The book in Luo Kai's hand was created based on this incident, Zhang Weihua is a famous military writer who has created many military themes, many of which have been adapted into film and television dramas.

He turned two pages of the book, read the table of contents of the previous chapters, and had a guess in his heart: "Uncle Cheng, are you planning to adapt this book into a movie?"

Although a year has passed, the influence of the North African evacuee has not yet dissipated, which is undoubtedly very exciting for the Chinese people, and of course it is also an excellent film and television theme.

It's just that ordinary film and television companies don't dare to touch such a big theme, even if the boss of the company has a brain to shoot, it is impossible to pass the script review.

Hongqi Film and Television does not have this problem.

"Yes..."

Cheng Jun smiled: "You guessed right. ”

In fact, the film adaptation of "North African Evacuee" was established at the beginning of this year, but because it involves various factors, the project is still on paper and has not really been implemented.

First of all, this subject matter is very difficult to shoot, and it is also a huge challenge for Hongqi Film and Television, which has never filmed the same genre before, so it is tricky.

The problem is the same genre, Hollywood has made several films, one of which "Thunder Action" also won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Hongqi Film and Television filmed "North African Evacuation", which will inevitably make the audience compare this movie with Hollywood blockbusters, it is natural to shoot well, if it is filmed to make everyone dissatisfied...

Hongqi Film and Television uses the country's money to make movies, and the investment in "North African Evacuation" is huge, if the final box office can't even recover the cost, it will be too easy to be made public opinion.

In recent years, many of the main theme works filmed by Hongqi Film and Television have achieved mediocre results, and there are some remarks on the Internet, saying that Hongqi Film and Television should withdraw from the historical stage and stop consuming national resources.

Therefore, Hongqi Film and Television took over this new task under great pressure, so it was also found that brother units such as China Film and Jiandun Film and Television shared it, and it was much better for everyone to work together than to carry the thunder alone.

Then Luo Kai entered the sight of these big guys.

Luo Kai's last starring role in "Chasing the Murderer" is a film work with a rather main theme, but the box office results are very good, and the reputation is also first-class.

Although "Across the Seas" is a typical commercial blockbuster, the content is very positive, the story is exciting, the plot is excellent, and the box office is a big hit, showing Luo Kai's strength in directing and the appeal of the market.

If "North African Evacuation" has Luo Kai joining, then the certainty of success is undoubtedly much greater.

But Cheng Jun wants Luo Kai, or the Dream Factory that Luo Kai represents, to do more.

"You can join in, and we'll invest and co-produce..."

Cheng Jun said: "There is also a script, we now have three adapted versions, to be honest, I am not very satisfied, Xiao Luo, you are also a screenwriter, you might as well write a new version of this book, everyone brainstorms, I believe we will be able to shoot a work that satisfies the audience." ”

"Of course, it's not mandatory, it's up to you. ”

Luo Kai thought for a while and replied seriously: "Uncle Cheng, of course our DreamWorks is very willing to join in the filming and production of this movie, and investment is not a problem, as for the script adaptation..."

After a pause, he continued, "I can try. ”

Luo Kai knows very well that this movie is very difficult to make, but the Red Flag Film and Television represented by Cheng Jun took the initiative to seek cooperation, as well as China Film and Jiandun, it would be stupid for him to refuse such an opportunity.

Cheng Jun said with a smile: "Yes, young people should dare to fight, we old guys just lack your sharpness, and we are a little timid." ”

Mo Lan disagreed: "Uncle Cheng, you are still very young. ”

Cheng Jun shook his head and smiled without saying a word, looking at Luo Kai with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

Mo Guodong has found a good son-in-law!
