Chapter 66: Confession and leniency
"Horror Cruise, a brand new version of a horror and suspense movie that audiences have never seen before!"
"Tang An, director of "Shark Beach", was interviewed by reporters yesterday and said that "Horror Cruise" will be an innovative film that is different from most previous horror films!
"The place where the story takes place has changed from the sea to the cruise ship, what kind of terrifying journey will director Tang An bring to the audience this time?"
"The same story that happened on a cruise ship, is this the horror film version of "Titanic"?"
"This summer, cutting-edge director Tang An will land in major theaters in China with his new work "Horror Cruise", let us look forward to it together!"
There were no popular movies released in March, and the domestic film market was as cold as ever, and some media took out "Horror Cruise" to promote it.
In this era, the channels for the masses to receive information are limited, and even more so on the Internet, basically they can only learn about the major events in various industries through major portals and some forums.
It's been just half a year since the release of "Shark Beach", and it's still a little hot, and the audience won't forget it so quickly.
In addition, the media also reported on the day of the start-up, so most fans know that the director of "Shark Beach" has made another horror film called "Horror Cruise".
"Director Tang is making horror movies again, I hope it will be another masterpiece like "Shark Beach"!"
"There are too many restrictions in China now, and there are not many directors who can make a good horror movie in so many rules!"
"What exactly is it about, I can't guess the title of the film!"
"Starring Lao Xu and Lu Yi, it's worth looking forward to!"
"Now there are no horror movies in China at all, and in the end, they all become suspense films, I hope this movie can scare me!"
"When the time comes, go to the cinema with your girlfriend and support it!"
......
Huairou Film and Television Base, Tang An looked at the newspaper, the premiere of "Letter from a Strange Woman" yesterday was quite successful, and the media was also full of praise, but I don't know what the specific box office is!
When I came to the studio, I first asked the assistant director Zhang Yiping about yesterday's shooting.
"Director, don't worry, everyone was in good shape yesterday, and those two scenes went well!"
Zhang Yiping said that he brought up the content of yesterday's shooting and asked Tang An to check it.
Tang An sat down in front of the monitor and began to watch it repeatedly.
"Yes, there's no problem, you go and let everyone get ready!" Tang An nodded.
"Hey, okay Director Tang!" Zhang Yiping breathed a sigh of relief, and after answering, he went to beckon various departments to start preparing for filming.
At this time, production producer Zhao Lei trotted forward, holding a small book in his hand, with a flattering face, "Director." ”
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Lei hesitated, but still handed over the small notebook, "In the past two days, I have rechecked the previous bill, and found that there are some miscalculations, and I revised it again, Tang Dao, take a look." ”
"Oh, Lao Zhao has worked hard!" Tang An looked at the man in his 30s who looked a little nervous and took the bill.
"No hard work, no hard work!"
Zhao Lei's eyes were staring at Tang An's hand as he looked through the bill, his palms were full of sweat, and Tang An's hand made his heart twitch every time he paused.
Under his trembling gaze, Tang An casually flipped through it and returned the bill to him.
"There is no problem with the accounts, Lao Zhao, you are also a veteran producer, I can still trust this professional ability, take it and report it to Mr. Xu!" Tang An nodded and said with satisfaction.
Call!
Zhao Lei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Director Tang, I'll go right away!"
"Wait!"
Just as he turned around, Tang An stopped him again.
Zhao Lei's figure was stunned, his body turned stiffly, and cold sweat began to flow from his head, "Director Tang?"
Tang An didn't seem to see his abnormality, and said with a smile, "Director Sun is not in the past few days, I see that everyone's work is a little messy, so let's do it, from now on, Lao Zhao, you will take over Director Sun's work and serve as the production director of the crew!"
Yes....
Zhao Lei's face was confused, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, and he couldn't stop nodding, "Thank you director, thank you director!"
"Don't be busy with joy first, if you don't do well as the production director, I will change people at any time, you have a meeting with several producers during the lunch break, and the tasks are clearly divided, and you must ensure that the logistics of the crew are in order, and there can be no chaos and mistakes!" Tang An warned solemnly.
"Yes, no problem Director Tang, don't worry, I will not let you down!" Zhao Lei assured again and again.
Production director, for many middle levels of the crew, it is almost impossible to cross the chasm!
It's like a scene to an assistant director.
From assistant director to director, many people have not been able to take this step for more than ten or twenty years.
Don't look at the difference between the producer and the production director, the difference between these two words is a world of difference, one is the leader of the ordinary department, the latter basically stepped into the ranks of the senior ranks of the crew with one foot.
It's also the limit that people like them who have nothing to do with it all the way up from the bottom can reach.
In the previous one, it is a producer who can lead a project, and is sent by the investor to be responsible for all things big and small of the crew, including the right to advise on the selection of actors, and even check and balance the director.
But it doesn't matter how far you can't go!
Just because of his "acquaintance", he has reached the peak of his life in one step, and Zhao Lei is now extremely happy with his choice.
And the one who mocked himself for being timid before!
However, when the new official takes office, he still needs the assistance of several producers under him, if they collectively don't bird themselves, then this production director is still not good.
As for moving out of Tang An to deter them, they were immediately vetoed by Zhao Lei.
Wang Zhenguo and Xu Tao also discovered Zhao Lei's movements, and when they saw him hand over a small book to Tang An, they immediately knew what was going on!
"Made, this Zhao Lei's brain was kicked by a donkey!" life producer Xu Tao scolded in a low voice.
The crew started, he was responsible for the food and accommodation of hundreds of people in the entire crew, and finally he was able to get some soup to drink, and then Zhao Lei took the initiative to confess that if he was involved, he would be miserable.
"Can you take the initiative to admit this kind of thing!"
"Lao Zhao is just cautious, it seems that there is nothing that can't be taken with him in the future!"
Zhao Lei walked up to everyone with his head held high, took in their expressions, and scolded in his heart without speaking.
"Zhao Lei, are you looking for Director Tang to turn himself in!"
"You are so cowardly, don't bother us!"
"If we are audited, you wait and see!"
Everyone scolded Zhao Lei for being timid and not righteous enough.
But before he said the plan, Tang An was already shouting with a loudspeaker.
"Let's stop for a moment!"
"From now on, production producer Zhao Lei will serve as the director of production, before due to the departure of Director Sun, the crew's accounts were a little chaotic, and now I invite several producers and team leaders to go back and take time to re-check the accounts, and finally summarize them to the production director!"
Tang An's words made everyone who originally accused Zhao Lei dumbfounded!
