Chapter 244: Start Shooting!
The film and television industry is divided into two camps: TV series and movies.
TV dramas are based on ratings, while movies are based on box office, and on this basis, the director's status in the film and television industry is differentiated.
The director's status in the film and television industry is divided into one line to five lines, just like the actor's one-star to five-star, corresponding to popularity, status, reputation, and so on.
Like Wang Huaiyi, he has directed TV series and movies, and has produced a total of seventy or eighty films, and his directing ability is undoubted, and he has long been promoted to the ranks of first-line directors.
Another example is Li Tiansheng, who has directed many martial arts dramas of Jin Daxia, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Dragon Babu", etc., all of which are from him, and the ratings have won the national championship, beating other variety shows, and is also included in the list of first-line directors.
When mentioning Li Tiansheng, you can't fail to mention another name, Zhang Jizhong.
As a first-line director who is on a par with Li Tiansheng, he has always been known as a gold medal director and an ace in ratings in the circle of TV dramas.
That night, a private car stopped at the door of Director Li's house, and two people walked down from inside, both wearing coats and masks, worried about being recognized.
The two looked around and made sure they were safe before entering the house one after the other.
"Sit down. ”
Li Tiansheng received the call in advance, and he was not the slightest surprised by the arrival of the two in front of him, put the newspaper aside, and asked his wife to make a pot of tea.
"It's like going out these days like a war, and you have to be afraid of being secretly photographed. ”
One of them took off his coat and mask, revealing a face that had experienced vicissitudes, and was complaining while sitting down, and said with a wry smile, "It's really not easy to come to Brother Li." ”
If there were other people here, they would definitely recognize it at a glance, this is Director Zhang, who is as famous as Director Li, Zhang Jizhong!
The other person also took off his mask, and it was obviously Zhang Jizhong's deputy, Li Yue.
Soon, tea served.
"That is, you care about those fame and fortune, if it were me, what are you afraid of?"
Li Tiansheng brought a cup of tea to his old friend and deputy sitting opposite, took a cup for himself, and blew softly, "What's the matter with you coming over this time?"
"Why, I can't talk to you if I'm fine?" Zhang Jizhong took a sip of tea and praised, "Good tea!
"Hehe, if you like to drink, bring some back later. Sister-in-law Li smiled.
"Well, with your words, I really want to take some back. ”
Zhang Jizhong couldn't help but take another sip, then looked at Li Tiansheng and said with a smile, "Brother, when will "Dragon Babu" be released, I can wait to see it." ”
"At the end of August. ”
"The ratings will break the record this time, right?"
"Not yet. Li Tiansheng shook his head.
"How is it possible! The TV series you made is well-made, and the actors are all first-line and second-tier stars, so it makes no sense if it is not popular. Zhang Jizhong said with a smile, "Especially the theme song, I have listened to it more than a dozen times, and it has become popular before it is broadcast." ”
When it came to the "Difficult Sutra", Li Tiansheng finally showed a smile on his face, glanced at Zhang Jizhong, and went straight to the point, "Okay, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what do you want me to help you this time?"
"Haha, you know me, brother. ”
Zhang Jizhong immediately gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "You also know that I recently made a movie and is ready to finish, isn't this just worrying that there is no suitable theme song, I heard that you have some connection with that Sansheng fireworks, so see if you can help me build a line, don't worry, he will definitely not be disadvantaged in terms of remuneration, after all, he is also a guy with some status now." ”
"Don't you have his agent's contact number?"
"It's useless! I asked Li Yue to fight more than a dozen, but they all resigned, no play, so I found you, brother, and did me a favor. Zhang Jizhong said helplessly.
"That's right. ”
Li Tiansheng thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask you about this matter, if he is willing, if he doesn't want to, I can't help it." ”
"Okay, okay, with your words, it's worth everything. Zhang Jizhong was overjoyed, hurriedly raised the teacup, and said with a smile, "Come, brother, I will toast you with tea instead of wine, if it is done, I will invite you and your sister-in-law to have a meal." ”
Li Tiansheng also raised the teacup, drank it all, and finally asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask you what the movie is called?"
Zhang Jizhong was slightly stunned, then laughed and spoke softly, "It is also an adaptation of Old Man Jin, called "The Battle of Black Wood Cliff in the Laughing Proud Rivers and Lakes". ”
……
August 14th.
One of the three most famous parks in Gangnam City, Star Park.
Early in the morning, there are sparse figures in the park, all of them are aunts and uncles exercising in the morning, or practicing tai chi, or running in the morning, or taking their children out to play.
There are also people who are around the corner of the park, not knowing what they are watching.
"What's going on? What are those people watching?"
"You don't know? There's a movie there. ”
"Ah, come to Star Park to shoot, this is rare!"
"Isn't it, let's go, let's go and have a look. ”
"Let's go!"
In less than half an hour, there were more and more onlookers, and even tourists who had just entered the park to prepare for sightseeing were attracted one after another, and joined the onlookers without saying a word.
"Attention to the teams of units, attention to the teams of units. ”
"Please check the equipment. ”
"The logistics team is always ready to maintain order. ”
A middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, holding a megaphone, shouted to the crew, looking very serious and dedicated.
Dong Wei, a native of Yanjing, 32 years old, as an assistant director, has been in the industry for ten years, has been the deputy of many gold medal directors, has very rich experience, and has participated in many famous film shooting, but he has never directed a movie himself.
Originally, with his identity, he didn't bother to enter a new company at all, and he also had to shoot movies with an unknown director?
For him, it was nothing short of torture!
But Dong Wei has no choice, he is a director under Lan Baocai, and he has never had the opportunity to develop, even if he stays in that old place for another ten years, I am afraid he will not be able to direct a movie himself.
And the superiors want to assign themselves to China Entertainment Company, what else can Dong Wei say?
If you want to blame yourself, you can't blame yourself!
So after coming to China Entertainment Company, Dong Wei has always been very resistant to the people and things here, but just yesterday!
When the CEO of China Entertainment Company, who was seven years younger than him, took out the script of the movie to be filmed this time, Dong Wei was stunned on the spot after reading it!
Oh, my God!
What script did he see?
Dong Wei dared to swear to the sky at that moment, as a director, he has been in the industry for so many years and has read countless scripts, but no script has been so moving, almost instantly conquered his body and mind, and even felt that his blood was about to explode!
Then Dong Wei found out that he was wrong, very wrong.
Age does not determine how much a director's achievements are, only talent is the evergreen of a director!
Afterwards, Dong Wei checked the identity of his boss on the Internet, but he didn't know it, and he was shocked when he saw it.
At that moment, Dong Wei was in a trance, it seemed that he came to China Entertainment Company, was it the most correct decision he made in his life?
Many years later, the facts proved Dong Wei's conjecture, and the achievements were far beyond his imagination......
"An Dao, everything is ready. ”
Dong Wei held a megaphone in one hand, walked to the bridge railing, looked at the figure in front of him looking at the distant scenery, and reminded.
An Liang was wearing a casual suit today, looking at the scenery in the distance, and it wasn't until the deputy opened his mouth that he came back to his senses and smiled at Dong Wei, "You're all ready? ”
"No hard work, no hard work. Dong Wei hurriedly said and asked tentatively, "Then let's start shooting next?"
"Okay!
