After Yang Ming and Wu Yuanzhi returned to Oriental DreamWorks, he called his old partner Kong Changwei over.

"This time we are going to make a documentary about food, and we are very short on time. After Kong Changwei came over, Yang Ming immediately announced, and at this time, Mo Xiaohua and Lao Chai were also there, and they were also called by Yang Ming, and they were waiting for Yang Ming to assign tasks in the conference room with Bian Mingcheng.

Except for Wang Qidong and Zheng Wen, who is in retreat, all the contracted directors of Oriental DreamWorks are here.

As for Zhao Laoyan, Yang Ming didn't regard him as a director at all, he estimated that this guy could only make his own films, and he would definitely not be able to make documentaries with his skills.

"What kind of documentary is worth making you so excited?" Kong Changwei couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Yang Ming's picture, he turned his head to look at a few people around him, and asked, "Hey, why is it just me as a photographer, and what about the others?"

"The documentary we are going to shoot this time is a propaganda film for the country, and the other photographers in our company are a little bit closer. Yang Ming said.

At present, in addition to Kong Changwei, the ace photographer, Oriental DreamWorks has also poached a few photographers from other film and television companies, but the level can only be regarded as average, and there is no problem in dealing with ordinary TV series, but if you want to shoot a film with strict requirements for the lens, you will not be competent.

"A Bite of China", a food documentary, obviously has very high requirements for the camera.

Kong Changwei was taken aback by Yang Ming's words, and so did the others, only to see that he suddenly stammered a little and said, "National ...... National. Propaganda. Piece?"

"Well, national propaganda film!" Yang Ming nodded in affirmation.

"You're playing so big this time?" Kong Changwei said with an incredulous look at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I can't help it, this is the task assigned to Phoenix TV by the above." ”

After finishing speaking, he also nodded Wu Yuanzhi.

"Okay, I won't say more, this time we are going to shoot a documentary, I am going to spend 30 million to shoot!" Yang Ming said with his mouth open.

Hearing the number of 30 million, not to mention Kong Changwei and Wu Yuanzhi, Lao Chai and they were also taken aback.

"A 30 million documentary, it's going to set a record!" Mo Xiaohua looked at Yang Ming in shock and muttered.

The status of documentaries in the entertainment industry, everyone here knows that they are highly praised, but they are basically ignored, and they win big awards, but they have very little income.

Because of these, few companies are willing to spend money on documentaries, and even if they do, it is impossible to spend so much money at once!

30 million! can make a good commercial blockbuster.

Yang Ming saw everyone's shocked expressions, with a satisfied look on his face, and couldn't help but think of the difficult process of filming this documentary in his previous life.

In the previous life, when the National TV wanted to make this documentary, the budget was only 4.5 million, and it was in 2011, but in the 450 years of 2011, it made "A Bite of China" with both fame and fortune.

Later, when this documentary became famous, in the face of an interview with reporters, the director said that the filming process was extremely poignant.

In the shooting, some shots need to use aerial photography, but the helicopter refueling costs 600,000 a day, and the total budget is only 4.5 million, can be used for several aerial photography? In order to achieve the effect of aerial photography, the crew did everything possible to try their best to do a way, but even if the private remote control aerial photography was tens of thousands at a time, of course, they also thought about going to Hong Kong to buy a remote control aircraft, but they were quickly vetoed: the remote control aircraft is not expensive, but it is necessary to bring a camera, in case of failure, it is still a big loss......

In the end, in order to shoot an aerial shot, the crew really couldn't find a group of children from the university who made model airplanes, and this group of children came with a model with styrofoam and a camera tied to a toothpick and bottle cap, but the final result was still a failure.

Although this documentary has achieved extremely dazzling and brilliant results in the previous life, due to the constraints of budget costs, many shots are not perfect.

In this life, Yang Ming wants to make up for this regret, and at the same time maintain the biggest feature of the success of this documentary.

The reason why this food documentary can succeed is not because of the majestic footage, but because of its narrative language, its camera rhythm, and its way of telling stories, all of which are obviously a refresh and subversion of past Chinese documentaries.

In the previous life, even if there were no aerial shots and large-scale scenes, this documentary still became a documentary with international standards and can go international.

Now Yang Ming has invested a huge amount of 30 million, and on the basis of maintaining the success of the classics in his previous life, he will make up for the flaws of this classic documentary in his previous life, and make "A Bite of China" in this world, which will definitely shock the world.

He is very confident that this new "A Bite of China" will be used for the task of national propaganda films, and there will be absolutely no problems.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Ming began to be a little excited, and then began to arrange the task and said: "I am going to shoot 7 episodes of this documentary, you follow me to shoot the first episode first, and then the remaining six episodes, we will be divided into six crews to shoot at the same time!"

The time given by Minister Guo just now was very tight, and he had to see the sample film within a month, and in his previous life, this documentary was filmed for 13 months, but because Yang Ming had a complete picture and plot in his mind, it naturally didn't take so long.

Let everyone follow him to shoot an episode first, know his requirements for this documentary, and then shoot it at the same time, and the speed will be faster.

Mo Xiaohua, Lao Chai, Bian Mingcheng, Zheng Wen, Wang Qidong, plus Yang Ming himself, are exactly six directors, which are already all the current directors of Oriental DreamWorks.

"Then we don't have enough photographers!" Kong Changwei said with a frown.

"Hmm!" Yang Ming nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I'll solve this, and I'll go back to the academy to ask the old dean for help later!"

Kong Changwei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, there are not many others in the Yanjing Film Academy, but the high-level photography teachers are a handful, if Yang Ming can really get the support of the academy, the photographer will definitely have no problem.

In fact, when the meeting was held in the National Imperial Garden, Yang Ming had already thought about going back to the academy to ask for help.

The most important thing in this documentary is the lens picture, it must shoot the kind of food culture unique to China, without a certain level of photographer, it will never be possible to shoot the picture that Yang Ming wants.

"Let's start preparing, I'll go back to the academy later. Yang Ming immediately began to arrange work.

After Yang Ming asked everyone to go separately to prepare for the crew, Wu Yuanzhi said: "Yang Ming, then I'll go back to Guangdong first, anyway, I can't help here anyway." ”

Yang Ming thought about it, and Guangdong couldn't do without Wu Yuanzhi, so he said: "Sister Wu, then I won't send you, time is pressing." ”

"We don't have to be so polite to each other. Wu Yuanzhi said magnanimously.

After finishing speaking, she suddenly turned her head to Lao Chai and asked, "Lao Chai, the sequel to "Hero Huo Yuanjia" you filmed "Jingwumen" has been done in the later stage!"

"Hmm!" Lao Chai nodded.
