Chapter 11 Preliminary Preparations

“… So I've always been very grateful to Mr. Gao Qiang, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't know about the play at all, and I wouldn't be able to talk about me now!"

"Yes, I feel it too, just say me, a guy from Hangzhou, if he didn't go to South Korea, he wouldn't have become an idol at all, and he wouldn't be able to talk about it now..."

The chat continues.

Xu Hui is deliberately leading the topic.

He knows very well that popular movie stars will not lack scripts and invitations!

The kind of thinking that throwing a book or a character and the superstar will come up and use it as someone else's plaything is not a fantasy, but a crazy thing that people in a mental hospital say.

Li Bingbing may not be a superstar now, but in the mainland entertainment industry, she is definitely a star who can definitely rank in the top five!

Her current status is already different from that of the young actor at the beginning, maybe she will mess with a man because she looks at the right eye, but taking a book or role to tempt her to be someone's plaything is simply a joke, to put it mildly, even Feng Xiaogang may not be able to do this.

In the early days of their rise, actresses are all Bichi, which is normal, this is a normal business situation, and once they climb to a certain status, they will become reserved.

It's a matter of dignity!

Therefore, Xu Hui did not meet Li Bingbing with those indescribable mentality, but sincerely regarded her as a senior, and all kinds of compliments were indispensable.

Of course, he also inquired about Li Bingbing's preferences, such as she likes to talk to people about her hometown in the Northeast, likes to talk about her struggle experience, and another point, Li Bingbing likes to chat with handsome guys!

Xu Hui happened to be a handsome guy, and he deliberately guided Li Bingbing to the topic he liked.

Sure enough, the chat atmosphere was good.

"Okay, I will join the group at the end of February, Director Xu, and I will take care of it when the time comes!"

"I want to thank Sister Bingbing for taking care of me..."

……

After the heroine's affair is over, Xu Hui has to meet with several crew leaders.

After all, he is a director, regardless of whether he is a straw bag or not, he must always get to know him first.

In the conference room of Huayi Media, Wang Zhonglei was introducing a middle-aged man to Xu Hui.

"Xu Hui, this is our producer..."

"Of course I know, Yu Min, Teacher Yu!"

Xu Hui hurriedly stood up, took the initiative to bow half of his body, and handed his hands over.

Yu Min, Zhang Jizhong's good friend, the two produced a bunch of Jin Yong's martial arts TV series together.

"I saw your storyboard sketch, and it's very good!"

Everyone likes polite juniors, Yu Min also nodded, his face was very good.

"This is photographer Cao Yun..."

"Teacher Cao, hello, I'm Xu Hui, I especially like your "Ke Ke Xili"!"

Xu Hui's posture was very low.

"This is the editor Tu Yiran..."

"Teacher Tu, support a lot!"

"Action director Li Zhongzhi, you already know you!"

"Brother Zhongzhi, a lot of support!"

Huayi is worthy of being Huayi, from the confirmation of the project of "Embroidered Spring Knife" to Xu Hui's participation in the meeting, but in only five days, most of the main responsible persons of most of the crew have been determined.

And he is also a veteran of Yishui, it is obvious that Wang Zhonglei was afraid that Xu Hui would not be able to handle it, so he specially invited him to suppress the formation!

If Xu Hui is left to prepare alone, God knows when it will be done.

"Tell me about your general thoughts on this movie. ”

Chinese films pay attention to the director-centered system, even if Xu Hui is a director who has no works, his opinion is still very important.

"First of all, I have been thinking about "Embroidered Spring Knife" for five years, and I know every picture of the movie by heart, so please rest assured, we will not shoot more! The cost of 20 million is definitely enough!"

"Today's audiences generally choose to go to theaters to watch movies, for two reasons, big productions, big scenes or big stars, unfortunately, our crew does not have these two conditions, so the quality of the movie must be guaranteed, and the scale must be large!

"Secondly, in order to cater to the audience, our costumes must be elegant, and increase the feeling of flying skirts on the basis of flying fish suits, which bothers our costume designer Mr. Zhao, please design the costumes according to my sketches. ”

"This movie, when I was writing the script, the closing part was not a decisive battle, but after meeting Zhao Jingzhong, the two had to do it, but what the audience wanted to see was that Shen Lian took the initiative to retaliate, so..."

"By the way, Mr. Wang, the novel of the same name of "Embroidered Spring Knife", please help me find a publishing house, three months before the movie is released, let's fry that novel first!"

"Finally, please bear with me, Xu Hui is the first time to be a director after all, if there is anything disrespectful to you in the crew, it is definitely because you are too impatient..."

After a brief introduction to the situation, Xu Hui sat down.

Several behind-the-scenes creators are not bad about Xu Hui's first side, although they don't know this person's ability, but they generally give people a feeling that it is very similar to that thing.

Wang Zhonglei's view of Xu Hui has risen to a higher level.

The few propaganda points he just mentioned, each of which is very close to Wang Zhonglei's thoughts.

Whether it's a deceptive trailer or a novel of the same name, this is the quintessential promotional strategy.

Huayi's biggest weapon is publicity, which is commonly known as marketing.

Xu Hui has already explained through the importance he attaches to the publicity of "Embroidered Spring Knife" in a few simple words.

The point of view of many big directors in China, making movies is their business, and engaging in publicity has nothing to do with them, in fact, this is not the case, the theater arranges the film schedule, in addition to considering the quality of the film itself, it will consider more of the publicity effect of the film.

As the producer, Wang Zhonglei is only responsible for controlling the general direction of "Embroidered Spring Knife", and the specific matters are basically handed over to Yu Min and Xu Hui, that is to say, in the subsequent filming, Yu Min is the one who deals with Xu Hui the most.

At the end of the meeting, Yu Min briefly introduced the preparations for the film to Xu Hui: "At present, our filming location has been chosen, and the Huairou Film and Television Base and the Ulan Butong Grassland..."

Xu Hui nodded and said that he understood: "Teacher Yu, I am going to use fast editing for this movie, have you seen "Spy Shadows"? I want to use rhythm to mobilize the story, rather than the traditional narrative..."

"But we only had 70 days to shoot..."

"Don't worry, most of them are real shots, no problem!"

Xu Hui is now full of confidence, and when he really directs, he will know that filming is not so simple!

Yu Min glanced at Xu Hui deeply: "Okay, when the time comes, do as you say!"

Although Xu Hui thought it was strange, he didn't think much about it, most of the China Entertainment film and television circles are like this, and the director is the authority of the crew.

Even if Xu Hui, who was a director for the first time in the original time and space, made a low-budget urban light comedy, he was still the boss of the crew.

"Okay, but I still have to worry about the teacher's support!"
