Before Dong Guofan stood up and recommended himself, Wu Hengjiang had already contacted many well-known directors in the industry, but no one dared to take over such a big Chinese sci-fi project.

After all, it is an investment of 300 million, and it is also a very challenging science fiction theme, if you don't shoot well, it will be ruining your own job.

Even if Wu Hengjiang repeatedly said that the success or failure of the film is not directly related to the director, no one is willing to agree.

After all, if it is not filmed well, even if the investor really does not hold it accountable, the reputation of the audience and fans is also very important, if it is like "Deep Space Trek", which is criticized and even abused by so many people in the end, then no matter who takes this film, they must weigh it carefully before taking this film.

So no one dares to take this risk easily.

Although it is said that if you can make a good film, you will gain fame and fortune, but there is such a thing as making a Chinese sci-fi blockbuster...... The probability is really too low.

In the end, even if it is a giant entertainment company like Beidou Entertainment, even if Wu Hengjiang is very rich in network resources, even if he knows all kinds of well-known or unknown directors, no one is really willing to make this film.

Some people really don't understand the theme of science fiction, and some people are just pure fear, in short, for a while, a Chinese film circle in Nuoda can't even find a director.

Therefore, when Dong Guofan took the initiative to stand up, Wu Hengjiang, Chen Feng and Tian Ming and some others were even a little moved.

Although Dong Guofan used to be an assistant director most of the time, he is actually very proficient in the crew, on the set, and in all aspects of professional knowledge such as photography, lighting, and performance, but he has never had the opportunity to really stand alone.

More importantly, when Dong Guofan communicated with everyone, he showed his infinite love for science fiction movies, he was familiar with almost all science fiction movies and science fiction literature, and even a science fiction master like Tian Ming proposed a very unpopular niche science fiction work, he actually read it, and remembered some of the details.

As for science fiction movies, his reading volume has reached a terrifying level, and even some unpopular bad movies are actually the truth.

In addition to the science fiction movie itself, more importantly, he is also very familiar with foreign advanced film industry technology, speaking of this issue, Dong Guofan also specially thanked Wu Hengjiang, because a few years ago Wu Hengjiang sent a group of people to visit and study in some large foreign film companies, Dong Guofan also got this opportunity through some connections, and learned a lot of things.

Wu Hengjiang didn't expect everyone to have this kind of origin, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but feel more relieved.

In the end, Dong Guofan's meeting with everyone ended in a very pleasant atmosphere, and after signing a confidentiality agreement, he also got the script manuscript of "The Wandering Earth".

Although the final director has not yet been decided, he can take the script of "The Wandering Earth" to study it carefully, and it is best to do some specific planning and evaluation, after all, science fiction films are different from ordinary film and television works, there are many places that need to use special effects and post-production technical processing, if you can't control these things in advance, it can only be a mess in the end.

Dong Guofan was very excited after getting the script of "The Wandering Earth", and when he left, his hands were shaking.

It wasn't until he got into his car that he calmed down a little.

Then, he sat in the driver's seat and read the script of "The Wandering Earth" in one go.

……

After Dong Guofan left, Wu Hengjiang looked at Chen Feng and Tian Ming.

"You feel...... How is he?"

Before Chen Feng and Tian Ming could answer, Wu Hengjiang said to himself: "I think Xiao Dong is actually pretty good...... The professional quality is also hard enough, and it can be seen that he loves science fiction movies, perhaps...... Can you think about it?"

After a pause, he said: "It's a pity, he still has a little experience, and he hasn't really directed a cinema blockbuster...... In addition, he really has no reputation, and it is still too risky for such a project to be handed over to him. ”

Tian Ming next to him thought for a moment and said: "I also think Xiao Dong is good, although compared to some other big directors, he is still young and not famous...... But he has enthusiasm and drive, and if he were really asked to direct, I think he would definitely put 200 percent of his heart and soul into it. ”

"It's better than those famous and experienced so-called big directors who shoot perfunctorily!"

Wu Hengjiang nodded, but then shook his head a little helplessly.

"Actually, there's one more point...... Directing is a comprehensive job, not only professional skills but also excellent skills...... What's more, he needs to be in control of the entire crew and all the actors...... If there is no certain prestige...... It's hard to convince the public...... This is actually quite important. ”

Tian Ming was also silent after hearing this, indeed, as long as you know a little bit about film shooting, you will know that what Wu Hengjiang said is right.

If Dong Guofan can't control the crew and actors as a director at that time, then there may be no way to shoot the whole scene.

After all, stability is also very important for a crew.

However, after Chen Feng was silent for a long time, he finally spoke: "Actually...... The director of this film is important, but it is not important...... Because such a project is definitely not something that the director can completely control, and after the actual filming starts, I guess everyone will have to worry about it together...... Therefore, most of the time, directors need to do their own work, and as for other things, they need everyone to work together!"

Indeed, the project of "The Wandering Earth" is too big, and it really has to be completely left to the director and crew to do, no one will rest assured, and when the filming really starts, everyone must work together and complement each other.

In this way, the director's job will actually be easier and simpler.

After all, the chores of the crew and the messy situation of the actors, if needed, can be handed over to more professional people to deal with, even if the director can't suppress some actors, can't Wu Hengjiang still be able to suppress it?

"Therefore, I also think that Dong Guofan is actually a very suitable candidate, if we really find a famous director, then people may even reject our participation, and everyone will really have no bottom of what the movie will look like. ”

On the contrary, a young and rookie director like Dong Guofan is more enthusiastic, more energetic and creative, and maybe he can achieve better results. ”

Listening to Chen Feng's words, Wu Hengjiang and Tian Ming thought for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
