If the chief director is not surprised, Chen Lei has already decided to let Song Xingzhou go. Although this guy has not mixed well in the circle in recent years, after all, he is from a professional class, and his basic skills are still there. He has seen all the two movies Chen Lei has made, and both have reached the level line.

What's more, Song Xingzhou's hidden attributes in pirated software are very good, his potential is very high, and his learning ability is also very strong, Chen Lei is willing to give him a stage to display his talents.

The team you want to set up is a screenwriter responsibility system, and the general person in charge is, of course, Chen Lei himself, and the assistant screenwriter is only Daisuke Nakata for the time being, and he can be recruited again depending on the situation in the future.

The codeword is too easy to find for Chen Lei, and when he was dealing with the "night door" before, there were a lot of people with good writing skills and relevant experience, and he privately said that if he needed to, he could follow him.

In addition, in the list circled by Chen Lei on pirated software, the first thing he wants to find is the first assistant director.

The position of first assistant director is available in both China and Hollywood, but the definitions and functions of the two are very different.

Although Hollywood's first assistant director (First.A.D.) also belongs to the director team, he also has the function of production, and belongs to the core of a film and television drama in the filming stage.

In Hollywood, there are many first assistant directors who have only done this position for the rest of their lives, and they have a lot of experience.

The first assistant director in China is purely an assistant director, an assistant to the chief director.

Their only purpose as the first assistant director is to one day remove the "deputy" in front of the assistant director.

At this stage, most of the first assistant directors in China are difficult to meet Chen Lei's needs in the crew in the future.

Other crews are all in charge of the chief director, so a bunch of large and small assistant directors must be arranged around the chief director to assist him in his work. But the team that Chen Lei wants to form is different, to use the game metaphor, that is, the screenwriter stands in the C position, and the director is not the output core, so he doesn't need so much assistance.

On the contrary, because Song Xingzhou is still in the development stage, and the equipment and experience are not good enough, Chen Lei needs to find a first assistant director who can take on more functions, which is equivalent to the director team having a dual-core CPU.

In the list circled by Chen Lei, there is one person who can barely meet this requirement.

Liang Guangyuan, 39 years old, is a professional who has studied in the United States.

He had relevant work experience in Hollywood during his years of study, although he did not achieve the position of first assistant director, but he still has a good understanding of the operation process and operation mode of the Hollywood crew.

After returning to China, he also exercised in several crews.

Originally, such a returnee with a professional background and overseas experience should be a rising star in the film and television drama industry.

But Liang Guangyuan was dissed and excluded by several bigwigs for various reasons at an annual meeting of the Directors Guild before, and since then, it has been difficult for him to get resources, and no one is willing to take him to play.

It's a bit like the willow rock of the original world.

Liu Yan was obviously a victim at someone's wedding, but she became the target of exclusion by the whole circle afterwards.

I have to say that sometimes the entertainment industry is so ridiculous and magical.

When Chen Lei took Daisuke Nakata to find Liang Guangyuan, this guy was rehearsing a play in a theater.

Sitting in the audience of the theater and after hearing Chen Lei's intention, Liang Guangyuan's face was wonderful, and his expressions of astonishment, shock, grievance, embarrassment, and joy were staged one by one, which was simply a museum of expressions.

Daisuke Nakata, who was sitting on the side, even wanted to take out his sketchbook and draw Liang Guangyuan's expression at this moment, so as to enrich his creative materials.

However, after seeing his master, who was holding his hand and Liang Guangyuan reminiscing about the past, sighed, and scolded the directors association for those mentally retarded corpse vegetarian meals, Daisuke Nakata dispelled this idea again.

Master's sense of performance is much richer than Liang Guangyuan's.

Daisuke Nakata saw with his own eyes that when he was outside the door just now, the master was joking with himself, asking him if he knew the five ways to write "gentleman".

And now in front of Liang Guangyuan, the master seems so righteous and awe-inspiring, so righteous and righteous, so empathetic, as if it is not Liang Guangyuan who has been excluded and treated unfairly over the years, but the master himself.

From this angle of Daisuke Nakata, it can even be seen that the master's right hand is pinching his thigh.

Is this ready to squeeze some tears out?

Master is really an old treacherous ...... Corporal Lixian.

Two hours later, when he came out of the theater, Daisuke Nakata took the rare initiative to speak: "Master, will Liang Sang agree to join us?"

"He said he would have to think about it, but I think he would agree. Chen Lei said.

"Why?"

Chen Lei pointed at himself, then at Daisuke Nakata, and said, "Because Liang Guangyuan, you, me, and Song Xingzhou are essentially the same people, all of whom are ambitious and want to make a career. Such people may sink for a while, or even for a lifetime, but if they have the opportunity, they will not be able to convince themselves to give up the opportunity anyway. ”

Daisuke Nakata nodded, what the master said was right, isn't he such a person.

After knowing and understanding Master's deeds and talents, and after hearing that Master was preparing to enter the film and television industry, didn't he also muster up the courage to seize every opportunity and want to recommend himself to Master?

And I heard that Song Sang also took the initiative to seize the opportunity at an awards party to get acquainted with the master.

If Liang Sang was also a fellow traveler like us, then it was true that as Master said, he might not be able to make up his mind for a while, but it would be difficult for him to convince him to give up this opportunity.

Daisuke Nakata usually has very few words, Chen Lei is thinking about things at the moment, and he doesn't care about joking with him, the master and apprentice just walk silently one after the other.

Suddenly, Daisuke Nakata, who had been half a step behind Chen Lei, said, "Master, is your leg okay?"

"Huh?"

Chen Lei's old face turned red.

Daisuke Nakata said solemnly: "Pinching your thighs will not squeeze out tears, it will only make people want to shout in pain, which will destroy the emotions you have already brewed." ”

"Nakata, what are you talking about, how come I don't understand?"

Daisuke Nakata continued: "If we have to recruit people later, you can buy a bottle of wind oil essence on the side of the road, wipe a little on your hands in advance, and when you need tears, you can wipe your eyes with your hands that have been wiped with wind oil essence, which will be more effective." ”

Chen Lei stretched his waist and yawned, pretending not to understand.

Unexpectedly, Daisuke Nakata, who has always been unable to hold back a sentence for a long time, said a lot tonight, and said at this time: "Yawning is also a good way to squeeze tears, but it requires a little skill." ”

Stopping, Chen Lei turned his head to look at Daisuke Nakata and asked, "Nakata, why are you experienced in a hundred battles, and you seem to be very experienced?"

"It's something I learned at a very young age. Daisuke Nakata was already numb to his miserable childhood, and he didn't feel much sadness when he mentioned it at the moment, and asked, "Master, who else am I going to see later?"

"No, I won't. ”

Daisuke Nakata flipped through the itinerary, he had planned to meet five this afternoon, but now he had only seen two, so he said, "Master, let's go buy a bottle of wind oil essence, it's a little more efficient, so that there will be enough time to see one more." ”

Chen Lei shook his hand and said angrily: "If you don't go, you won't go, because your teacher's leg hurts." ”
