Chapter 123: Popular Science
After Liu Dong came to the crew, he didn't look at it and didn't see Chen Kexin, but Ye Weiming sat behind the monitor and directed the crew to shoot.
Looking at his face full of spring breeze, I don't know if it was because it was rare to sit in that position or because he cheated Liu Dong yesterday.
Li Manyu looked around and said, "It seems that Chen Kexin went to the airport to pick up people, and the four parties of Berna, China Film, West Film, and Modu Film Group each sent a producer over to prepare to stay in the crew to ensure the stability of the last month!"
"Is this worrying about Chen Kexin?" asked Liu Dong.
He also knows now that not all crews are the biggest directors, and get rid of the top handful, such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige, no matter what the film is, they can have the greatest rights in the crew.
Anything big or small about the crew, including the choice of actors and the use of all the filming funds, they can decide in a word.
And the vast majority of directors, even first-line directors like Chen Kexin, are still subject to the constraints of investors and producers, and even encounter relatively strong producers, so they are not so much directors as photographers.
The most intuitive is Zhang Jizhong, the vast majority of the audience in the works where this big guy is the producer and producer will not remember who the director is, only know that this is Zhang Jizhong's film.
"After the video you took was sent to Berner, it was transmitted to several other companies, they were very dissatisfied with Ye Weiming, and they were also questioning Chen Kexin's ability, and now there is only one month before the finale, and it is normal for them to be uneasy!" Li Manyu explained.
"You guess there's a lot of effort in this!"
Liu Dong doesn't believe that Ye Weiming's targeting of a small supporting role alone can make several major companies make a big move, and there must be Li Manyu behind it.
Li Manyu knew what Liu Dong meant, he shook his head, "Of course they don't care about the contradiction between Ye Weiming and you, but this matter may affect the reputation of the crew, so they have to face it." ”
"But my friend at Bernard also made a difference, and it was she who proposed that the producer be included in the group to supervise, and the other three naturally sent someone over when they saw that Bernard attached so much importance to it!" Li continued.
"Will the producer really interfere with the crew's filming? Then who will have the final say between them and Chen Kexin?" asked Liu Dong again.
"Normally, no, unless something special happens! But there is a big man who came this time, and Chen Kexin is estimated to hate Ye Weiming to death now. Li Manyu said.
"What big shot?" Liu Dong said curiously.
He has heard a lot of directors in the entertainment industry, but he really doesn't know a few producers and producers, and the ones who can be called big names by Li Manyu will definitely not be ordinary people, at least much higher than Chen Kexin's level.
Huang Jianxin, the producer of China Film and the producer of "Casting Names", is now the artistic director of Huaguo Film Co-production. Li Manyu slowly said a name.
“......”
I haven't heard of it, and what the hell is that Huaguo film co-production company?
Li Manyu's reaction to him was also expected, and every time he talked about things in the entertainment industry in the nearly a year, he was confused, let alone this behind-the-scenes figure.
Huang Jianxin is the leader of the fifth generation of directors, when he happened to meet the director Wu Tianming in the West Film Studio to implement reforms, during that time Wu Tianming's West Film Studio was called the "Legend of the West", and a large number of excellent actors and directors were brought out, including Huang Jianxin, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Teng Wenji and others, a large number of famous directors were brought out by him, Zhang Yimou's first film "Old Well" was shot by Wu Tianming. ”
Classic movies like "Red Sorghum", "Yellow Earth", and "Farewell My Concubine" were all produced when Wu Tianming was the director of Western Film Studio, and he was also known as the "godfather of the fifth generation of directors" ......
"Wait... Wait a minute!" Seeing Li Manyu getting farther and farther away, Liu Dong hurriedly interrupted him.
It's like this every time, Li Manyu gave Liu Dong science popularization as she spoke, and she didn't know how she remembered so much information.
In fact, there is something Liu Dong doesn't remember anymore, the hotly discussed "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" in 2013 was filmed by Wu Tianming, but in the second year after filming this movie, Wu Tianming passed away.
Li Manyu was very dissatisfied with Liu Dong's interruption of her words, and said seriously, "There are some things you don't have to memorize, but you must remember, don't know all day long to stare at those people on the big screen, sometimes these behind-the-scenes filmmakers have the ultimate power, don't see real people and provoke each other when you see them, I can't save you!"
Uh, is it that scary!
Liu Dong was also frightened by Li Manyu's tone, and hurriedly said, "You go on, I'll listen, and promise not to disturb you." ”
"I don't expect you to write them all down, I'm relieved if I can remember a few names, anyway, you can't get in touch with people at that level now, but Huang Jianxin will be here soon, he is the producer of this movie, and as one of the gold medal producers with the highest status in China, he is definitely not under those big directors in terms of power......"
With Li Manyu's explanation, Liu Dong also probably has some understanding, this Huang Jianxin has supervised Feng Xiaogang's "Big Shot", and also served as a production consultant in the co-production "Kill Bill 2", and the sci-fi blockbuster "The Mummy 3" currently in preparation is also supervised by him.
In Hollywood, it has always been a producer-centric system, and being able to serve as a producer in a sci-fi blockbuster like "The Mummy 3" is enough to explain a lot.
Moreover, Huang Jianxin not only has a good relationship with big directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, but also is an old classmate with Han Sanping, chairman of China Film.
"Liu Dong is here, your role is still in the afternoon today, why don't you rest in the hotel?" Ye Weiming suddenly appeared in front of the two and interrupted Li Manyu's explanation with a smile.
"Director Ye is good, I'm idle anyway, I'll take a look, and learn by the way!"
"I wasn't surrounded by reporters when I came out, so be careful when you go out in the past two days!" Ye Weiming said with a seeming concern.
"I'll pay attention, thank you Director Ye for reminding me!" Liu Dongqiang said with a smile.
Seeing Liu Dong like this, Ye Weiming snorted coldly in his heart, he thought that Liu Dong was worried about that matter.
It's a pity that there are still media who say that this matter is hyped by the crew and Zhou Li personally, and they want to help this kid speak, otherwise he would have become a street rat a long time ago!
Ye Weiming felt sorry for the news he watched this morning, according to his plan, all reporters should criticize Liu Dong, and it is best to make him stink!
"Ye Dao!"
Ye Weiming wanted to say something, but a field attendant in the distance ran over and called him.
"What's the matter?"
"Director Ye, Director Chen told you to go to the hotel now, and I will look for you if I have something!"
"I'll go over now!" Ye Weiping waved his hand, signaling that he knew.
"Then I'll go first, Liu Dong, be careful yourself!" Ye Weiming rushed away after speaking, and walked in the direction of the hotel.
Looking at Ye Weiming who was far away, Li Manyu said, "It seems that the results of the discussion over there have come out, but I don't know what will happen!"
