Lin Xiao is even a little lacking in the last director of Zhou Chuanming.

In China, these directors are praised too highly, so that many times, they begin to be a little unclear about the situation.

Longteng is not a small company, but a company co-founded by a number of giants, it can be said that looking at the domestic film and television industry, there is no film and television company more powerful than the background of Longteng.

And Li Ke actually treated Lin Xiao like those small companies and small investors.

I have to say that he is indeed courageous.

"Director Lin, Mr. Xu, fortunately, fortunately!" Zhou Chuanming put his posture very low, and as soon as he came up, he was very enthusiastic and authentic.

"Director Zhou, I believe you know what we are here this time, we won't say much else, you have directed a lot of war movies and TV series, and I believe you are also experienced in controlling the scene. ”

"Let me put it bluntly, we originally had three candidates, you are the last one, and the previous two are not very suitable, so, let me explain first, a few conditions, if you can accept them, let's talk about the others, otherwise, there is no need to waste everyone's time, what do you think?" Lin Xiao This time, he did not do it as before, but was direct and straightforward.

"Director Lin, please speak. When Zhou Chuanming heard Lin Xiao say that the first two were not suitable, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It's not that he doesn't want to make movies, there is a fundamental gap between a TV series director and a film director, just like a TV series actor and a film actor.

For Zhou Chuanming, it is actually more difficult than ordinary people to jump from TV series to movies, because the TV series that Zhou Chuanming has been directing are almost that kind of war movies.

This imprinted him with a style, and generally works on other themes, others would not consider him.

And war movies, basically there is no small cost, and it is not non-existent, but it is just a small cost, and it is difficult to shoot that effect.

So, there really aren't many such opportunities.

The key is that Zhou Chuanming saw the huge potential of the "Three Kingdoms" series of movies, if he can become the director of the first film, once the movie is successful, then the follow-up can continue to take over the follow-up sequel.

This is a huge temptation for any director who wants to transform and develop better.

But his own family knows his own affairs, Zhou Chuanming knows that he actually has no advantages, don't look like he is very good at war scenes, but in fact, movies and TV series are completely different things.

In the TV drama circle, he can be said to be a big director, but in the film circle, then he is really nothing.

And it's still this kind of real big production.

Zhou Chuanming was ready for the other party's harsh conditions.

"First of all, the "Three Kingdoms" series of movies, Long Teng intends to use Hollywood's producer-centric model, of course, it is impossible to copy them all, however, there is one point, in terms of the final editing rights of the film, we will give priority to the opinions of the producer, of course, as a director, the same can be used to make suggestions and questions, but whether to adopt it in the end is to be considered from a commercial point of view. ”

"Secondly, the director can give his opinion on the main roles of the film, and he can also participate in the audition, but the final decision will not be made, it will be decided by the production team, the casting director, and the chief director. ”

"Just these two for the time being, Director Zhou, you can think about it. Lin Xiao said lightly.

"I wonder if the producer will interfere in the specific filming of the film, and at the same time, the final edit, can you let me edit it first, and then decide whether to use the director's cut?" Zhou Chuanming asked after a moment of silence and raised his head.

"Of course, this is possible, in fact, the reason why we want to take back the final editing rights is mainly for commercial reasons, after all, we need to be responsible for the investor, and we must ensure that the film is commercial. It was Xu Xiaodong who answered Zhou Chuanming.

"Then I'm fine. We can move on to the next step. Zhou Chuanming said with a smile.

"Director Zhou, we have already sent you the script before, so tell me what you think. Lin Xiao looked at Zhou Chuanming and asked.

"First of all, I have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" several times, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a romance, and many of the characters in it are fictional, not that the characters themselves are fictional, but that many of the characters' abilities and events in it are fictional. ”

"In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it seems that the overall situation is very objective, written from the perspective of a bystander, but in fact, in the whole work, there is a very obvious biased position, the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Wu and Shu, the obvious whole, and the content description of the relevant tasks of Shu occupies most of it. ”

"I think this is a very good bias for film and television adaptation, because a movie, we want to make it, so that the audience has a sense of substitution, first of all, we need to have a clear position, who is the protagonist? Who is the villain, there must be an angle, at least, in the same film, there can be no second position. ”

"The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", the plot starts from the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang in Taoyuan, and ends in the follow-up of the Eighteen Road princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the most exciting part that happened during the period is about the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang. ”

For example, Guan Yu Wenjiu beheaded Huaxiong, Sanying fought against Lu Bu, etc., all of which clearly established their positions, that is, with Liu Guanzhang and the three of them as the absolute protagonists. ”

"If I were asked to direct, I would also shoot this story with the three brothers Liu Guanzhang as the main visual......"

Zhou Chuanming's thinking is very clear, which is also related to the fact that he has been filming TV series, TV series are difficult to say about artistry, most of the time, it is for the ratings.

Unlike movies, many directors can also pretend to be high-spirited, movies, because one is only two hours at most, but TV series are different, a TV series, especially war dramas, is often quite long.

So, once he shoots something so-called artistic, then it will be immediately forgotten by the audience.

To a certain extent, movies need to condense the wonderful plot because of the short time, and TV series, because of the length of the drama, so, more often, there will be more space to pave the way, to press, to explode.

Zhou Chuanming cherishes this opportunity very much, so of course he won't do anything different, because he doesn't have that qualification yet.

Therefore, his thinking is actually to shoot according to the script, and he doesn't want to say what he wants to shoot spiritually and reflectively.

After all, for a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions, these are all false, what do they want?

Only if it is successful at the box office, you can say anything else.

For Zhou Chuanming, Lin Xiao and Xu Xiaodong are very satisfied, because the other party has a clear idea and puts his position very right.
