Section 44: Assistant Director
"You know, your eyes are literally discharged! The kind of affection, I believe a woman would want to drown herself in your eyes......"
Duane watched the replay of the clip intently, and Kang Junan kept chattering in his ear.
Overall, it's very good, the effect is even better than he expected, and it's true that as Kang Junan said, the atmosphere between him and Zhu Qian is very sweet, and that's exactly what he wants.
But if you really want to be the leading actor, then you have to think about one thing - who will direct when he is acting? In this case, you need to hire an assistant director.
The assistant director was even more difficult to find than the actor, and he went to the director's union the next day to release the information and waited for two or three days before the staff there told him that no one was willing to come to him as an assistant director.
“…… The film market is already on fire, and you have nothing to do with yourself and come to add another fire. Now those directors who are from professional classes see that you can make a movie with a global box office of 500 million yuan in a wild way, and they are all unconvinced, and they want to come to a big one, so that others can see their ability, how can they be willing to deign to be an assistant director for you......"
These are all things that the staff told him, and not only these, but also others: "...... Those investors are also, stimulated by the myth that you have 200,000 and 500 million, and their brains are hotter, and they dare to invest as long as they catch a director with the name of an academy, and the amount of investment is still larger than the other, so they want to have a return on investment hundreds of times. There are a lot of investors, but there are only so many directors, so ah, no director is short of money now, as long as there is some ability, it is not bad for money, who is willing to come to you?......"
Of course, it's not entirely unmanned.
“…… Oh, if you don't dislike these ones, you can pick whatever you like, and I believe they will definitely have no opinion, and then you will know what to talk about......"
The staff said that the ones he picked were all wild paths: either they graduated from the photography department of which college, or the acting department of which college, and they all changed careers and wanted to become directors. But these are all good, in which he also met people who graduated from the same school of management as him and came to become directors!--Anyway, the threshold of the director's union is also low, as long as you pay the dues on time every year, no matter who you are, you can take the title of director. Of course, it's none of their business if someone asks you or not.
In the end, there was really no way, Duane had to pick the big one among the short ones, picked up a few wild works and looked at them, but all of them failed without exception. But this assistant director still has to continue to look for it, and there is no way, so I have to let the director's union continue to send works over to see if I can find one that meets my heart.
That's what happened in the past two days, and Duane was sitting in front of the computer at the moment, his eyes glued to the screen, his mouse in his hand, and he was playing Minesweeper.
"Jingle Bell"
The phone on the desk rang suddenly.
DUANE'S HAND SHOOK, AND SUDDENLY IT WAS CROOKED, AND A THUNDERBOLT EXPLODED, AND THEN GAMEOVER.
Leaving the game behind, he picked up the phone, "What's the matter?"
"Director Du, someone came to you and said that they were here to apply for the assistant director of the crew of "Pretty Woman". ”
Why can't you apply for an assistant director, and why can't you come to the director union, and why do you find a **** by yourself?
Duane was a little puzzled, thought for a while, and said, "Let him in." Then he turned off the minesweeper on the computer, stood up, took the cup on the table, walked to the water dispenser in the corner, and poured himself a glass of water.
A sofa against the exterior wall, a desk against the interior wall, a boss chair, a guest chair, a computer, two bookcases, and three potted plants, this is Duane's current office.
The new drama has not started filming yet, and it is not a matter for Du An, the director, to be idle all day long and hang around outside, sometimes there is something serious and the person who wants to find him will not be found for a while and a half, and after considering many factors, Shu Yu simply called him into the company, which can be regarded as a contribution to dealing with idle people in society and maintaining the harmony and stability of the social family.
Originally, when he first joined the company, Du An went to Shuyu's general manager's office all day long, but after all, the two of them were lonely and widowed, and it was not good for a long time, so Shuyu waved his hand and gave him a special office, but the office brand was stumped for the two, and I didn't know what position to arrange for him. The two didn't bother to think about it in the end, so they simply hung up a sign of "Director Du's office". This position is not in the company's establishment, there is no salary, only food, and the crew will be stopped immediately after they start work.
Duane sat for a few moments before there was a knock at the door, "Please come in," and the man opened the door and walked in.
is a young man in his twenties, with a high hairline, and it looks like he is going to be middle-aged bald, and he looks very festive, which makes people feel good at first sight, and he also carries a bag on his body.
"Hello Director Du, my name is Ning Hao. ”
"Hello hello,"
Du An didn't greet him much, and asked bluntly: "You want to be an assistant director?" After hearing the other party say "yes", he asked again: "Do you have any works?" Ning Hao nodded again and said, "Yes, bring it." As he spoke, he opened his satchel and pulled something out of it.
Duane stopped his actions, "I can't see it here, let's go, go to the screening room and see." ”
Shu Yu's DreamWorks Film and Television Culture Development Co., Ltd. has lofty goals, although there are not many people, it is fully equipped, and there are also screening rooms. took Ning Hao to the screening room, took out Ning Hao's works for screening, and the two sat quietly and watched.
This is a work called "Incense", which is about a monk who wants to repair the body of the Buddha in his temple, goes to the government to prevaricate, and turns the fate everywhere but everywhere is not smooth, and finally gives people fortune telling to finally scrape together enough money to repair the body of the Buddha, but at the end of the film, the government wants to demolish the temple in order to repair the road.
Looking at the end of the film, the monk looked sideways at the big shot of the word "demolition" on the temple wall, Du Ane closed his eyes and thought for a while: although this film is still a little immature, it can be seen that the director's basic skills are still there, and he is quite aura, as far as he sees the situation so far, this guy named Ning Hao should be able to meet his requirements, but there is one thing he doesn't understand.
"What kind of college did you graduate from? Didn't anyone ask you to make a movie before?"
Ning Hao's answer was beyond his expectations: "Graduated from Nortel's Department of Photography." "You must know that Zhongju and Nortel are the most difficult to deal with him, except for Zhang Jingchu last time, this Ning Hao is the second one who is close to him in this series.
"As soon as I studied photography, I didn't study directing, and they didn't want to come to me. Didn't this encourage a few friends to raise funds to make this movie, but there was no place to put it after it was filmed, and I was planning to go to the exhibition after a while. ”
This is still a talking basket, and the words "eat with a mouthful" have come out - you must know that those who came to Duane to apply for the assistant director before, all of them said more beautiful than anyone else, and it seems that all of them are for the sake of artistic ideals, and only this Ning Hao dares to say "eat with a mouthful of food".
Duane's doubts were all answered, so he didn't ask any more, and simply said neatly: "Cheng, wait for you to sign a contract, and we'll start." ”
He couldn't wait.
The producer, producer, director, assistant director, male and female leads, cinematographers, artists, makeup, props, and sets are all in place, and "Pretty Woman" can finally start filming!
Du An was about to go to Shu Yu and say that the crew would start work soon, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the door was suddenly pushed open, and two uniformed policemen appeared at the door, startling the two.
The two policemen were fat and thin, and the fat policeman who was white and clean walked up to Duane with a stern face and asked directly, "Is it Mr. Duan?"
Duane nodded, stunned on his face.
The police appeared too suddenly, as if they were still staring at him, which caught him off guard for a while.
The fat policeman took out a piece of paper and shook it in front of Du An's eyes, "Someone has proved that you are suspected of forging the seal of a public institution and violating the criminal law of our country, and have been prosecuted by the People's Procuratorate, and now we will arrest you in accordance with judicial procedures, and I hope you will cooperate." If you do not cooperate, we will take coercive measures. ”
"Mr. Du, sign it. ”
The fat cop shook the arrest warrant in his hand again.
Ning Hao, who originally wanted to come up to make a round, stopped and stopped talking: Du An's false testimony incident had caused a stir before, and he had heard about it, so he naturally knew that the police had not wronged the wrong person. But is it a criminal law to give false testimony?
Duane looked at the arrest warrant, and in such a short period of time, the situation had been sorted out, and he thought a lot about it, and finally obediently signed the arrest warrant, and two policemen escorted him out of the screening room.
There were many people in the aisle, and the police suddenly came to the company to arrest people, and these employees were alarmed, and few people had ever seen such a battle. Shu Yu also heard the news and hurried over.
"You go in first and stay for a while, I've already contacted the company's lawyer, and he will be able to protect you right away." ”
Duane nodded.
"Let's go. ”
The two policemen escorted him outside.
Ning Hao stood at the door of the projection room in a daze, looking at Du An's distant figure, feeling that this qiē was too mysterious, and also, did he succeed in his application?
