Chapter 979: A great director has to have a big heart

When the crew of "Titanic" was making preliminary preparations, the film and television base, which was originally full of gangsters and underground forces, suddenly calmed down strangely, and some gangster members who used to blackmail actors suddenly disappeared, as if the world had evaporated.

It is the middle of the night when the most crimes occur, after the crew is stationed in the film and television city, there are no more crimes, and within a radius of thirty miles in the entire film and television city, the Haiyan River suddenly becomes clear, and everyone has become polite, that is, there are a lot fewer people who speak foul language.

After this went on for a week, some actors or other locals only realized this strange change.

"It was as if a big hand full of magic suddenly appeared in the darkness, erasing all traces of sin!"

Many years later, when a local writer wrote his memoirs, he made a point to say this, "Order has been maintained and respected, and all uncivilized phenomena have suddenly disappeared, so that everyone is a little uncomfortable, and I feel that life is too ordinary, and there is a lot less excitement!"

Guo Dalu didn't care much about what happened in the American Film and Television City, he was a king in the dark, and now he wanted to do something, if anyone dared not disturb his interest with long eyes, it would be a provocation to the biggest dark force on the entire planet, without Guo Dalu's orders, his subordinates were killed without discussion.

Therefore, when the crew was preparing props to find a shooting location, they never encountered any difficulties, whether it was the local government or the local underground forces, they were surprisingly easy to speak, and their attitude was called a cooperation, nodding their heads, and almost kneeling down flatteringly to say goodbye.

When the crew was making preliminary preparations, Tianxi Film and Television and Meilun Lion Industry issued a message that Guo Dalu was going to screen actors around the world.

Rumble!

After the news came out, the whole world was boiling, not to mention the showbiz, even people who are not in the showbiz have a strong interest in it, but anyone who is a little confident will feel that he is the only one in this world, and always feel that he will always have a successful day, and some feel that they are originally a piece of gold, but they still lack a pair of people who dig gold.

Therefore, when director Guo Dalu announced the selection of actors around the world, many people were moved, although Guo Dalu repeatedly emphasized that European and American actors are the mainstay, but actors from other countries still do not give up and recommend themselves, wanting to get a small role in this play, even if it is a line.

With Guo Dalu's current local prestige and popularity, he wants to make a film and select actors, which is similar to the emperor's draft in ancient times, with a huge momentum, and it detonated the media on the same day, and in an instant, the entire Internet was filled with explosive news that "Guo Dalu wants to choose a new film actor".

After the news came out, there were many media reporters who wanted to interview Guo Dalu and ask for specific news, but Guo Dalu has always been too lazy to meet with reporters, and this time is no exception, the press conference was done for him by Ma Cheng and others, and the on-site reporter interviewed could only interview Ma Cheng and others, and even Ma Chengdu no longer accepted interviews, and it was only Guo Dalu's secretary Wang Fengshan who was responsible for speaking, so the news everyone got was second-hand news conveyed by Wang Fengshan, and everyone did not communicate with Guo Dalu face-to-face, and they all felt that it was not enjoyable.

But now Guo Dalu has no time to meet with these reporters, he is designing a model of the Titanic, as well as some props for filming, as well as the sale and purchase of a beach in Baja California, Mexico.

In order to shoot such a movie, Guo Dalu invested a lot of money and bought a beach of 15 square kilometers at the Pacific Beach in Mexico, which was specially used to build a studio and the placement of many photographic tools.

A few years ago, Mexico was one of the most chaotic countries in the world, where gangs were rampant, and criminal gangs were armed more than the Mexican armed forces, and the government could not defeat them.

It's a pity that the leaders of these gangs later died, provoked Guo Dalu, and were attacked by Guo Dalu for thousands of miles, killing these leaders in turn, and then the overseas alliance took the opportunity to take over such a vacuum.

By now, the whole of Mexico has become Guo Dalu's backyard, and the people who control this country are no longer Mexican government officials, but the League.

And Guo Dalu is the leader of the alliance, and when he does things here, it is equivalent to the emperor doing things in his own country, which is naturally the highest standard of treatment, and everyone is trembling and does not dare to slack off.

In order to shoot this movie, Guo Dalu deliberately designed two huge water tanks, which are used to place huge cruise ship models, in fact, with the development of today's 3D technology, if Guo Dalu wants to save money, he can use light and shadow technology to deal with it, but in order to strengthen the authenticity and shock, and attract enough eyeballs, he still feels that it is necessary to do so, at least this place can stay here after the shooting, as a scenic spot for sightseeing.

In this movie, Guo Dalu said that Ma Cheng should prepare 500 million first, but the 500 million may not be able to stop, this is still the result of Guo Dalu using his own strength, otherwise, the investment in the whole movie will not be able to stop 1 billion.

The production of this kind of big movie is an extremely money-burning behavior, and it is not uncommon to invest hundreds of millions or billions of dollars at every turn, but directors who can invest so much are generally famous directors, and it is best to be internationally renowned people to make investors dare to invest so much in it.

Of course, there are also unknown small directors who have made additional big investments, just like a movie like a piece of invested by Chinese investors last year, with an investment of more than 1 billion, but the box office was less than 3 million, and three days after the final release, it was urgently painted, and it seemed that it would take a major revision before it would be released again, and it may never be released.

For the investment of other directors, Tianxi Film and Television may also review and discuss, but for Guo Dalu's works, no one has the courage to review them, Ma Cheng is directly responsible, how much Guo Dalu wants, their company will give as much as they want, so many years, Guo Dalu's contribution to Tianxi Film and Television is obvious to everyone, every time he shoots a film, the company can reap great profits, and all the directors and actors of the entire company add up to make more money than a Guo Dalu.

For such a God of Wealth, of course, the company has to provide it well, Guo Dalu wants to invest, Tianxi Film and Television will invest, how much to give, and Guo Dalu does not want all the money of Tianxi Film and Television, he himself will add a part of the investment in it, and Tianxi Film and Television fifty-five points, he asked Tianxi Film and Television to invest 500 million, and he himself prepared 500 million, just wait for the funds to be insufficient, and use his own money.

has cooperated with Tianxi Film and Television for so long, and both sides have always come like this, otherwise when the time comes, the two sides will split the account, and Guo Dalu will not be able to take the money, and he himself has invested, or accounts for half of the investment, then he will not have any burden in his heart, and he will be able to take this money confidently and comfortably.

This movie took more than two months just to prepare props, and when selecting actors, it also took a lot of time, in order to compete for the starring role of Guo Dalu's movie, I don't know how many actors in private were fiercely competing, and even the major packaging companies secretly made efforts, wanting to get in touch with Guo Dalu and send the actors of their own companies to Guo Dalu for tasting.

After Ma Cheng and others selected a round, the selected actors and actresses were screened by Guo Dalu again, until the end, two leading actors, one man and one woman, were decided, and as for the supporting role, it was an actor from their company provided by Youmeilun Lion Industry.

The rest of the supporting roles, large and small, were selected by Guo Dalu in Mexico and the United States, and even several Chinese actors were arranged in.

When everything was almost ready and the whole crew started filming, Guo Dalu appeared and held a press conference that many people in the industry paid close attention to.

"A big country must have the bearing of a great country, and in the same way, a big director must also have the mind of a big director!"

When interviewed by reporters at the scene, Guo Dalu scolded Fang Xuan with an expression of "I am a great director": "Chinese people can not only shoot movies with Chinese themes, in fact, my vision can become a little broader, film art is the art of all mankind, not limited to one country and one place, but should face the world." ”

He said a few words in front of the flash, with a heavy expression on his face: "And the original intention of filming my drama is to commemorate an accident a hundred years ago, so that everyone will not forget that such a tragic incident happened a hundred years ago!"

When Guo Dalu said this, there was suddenly an additional projection behind him, and a live video began to appear on the video, in which a Chinese reporter was explaining loudly: "The Titanic sank in this sea area a hundred years ago, and after the derivation of director Guo Dalu, this should be the place where its wreckage docks, and today, we want to use technology and manpower to prepare to salvage this sinking shipwreck that has been sinking for a hundred years from the water!"

Guo Dalu turned his head to look at the projection video, and whispered to the reporters in the hall: "Everyone, sometimes when watching a movie, it's best to look back on history. And the movie I'm going to make this time is about this shipwreck!"
