Chapter 162: Communication
"This is the outline, you can see if there is anything that needs to be revised, or if you have any questions, you can tell me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info By the time I actually started writing, it was too late. Zhu Ziqing used Amir's computer to log in to QQ, opened the mailbox and downloaded the information saved inside.
"So fast?" Excitedly and apprehensively, Amir sat down in front of the computer and opened the folder.
I am excited that the book that has been waiting for so long has finally come to fruition. I'm worried about how long it has been, and whether it can be done.
Zhu Ziqing smiled and didn't answer, he had heard such words too many times, and his ears were calloused.
"Kite runners? Is that the name of the book? ”
"Well, kite flying and kite chasing is a very important tradition in Afghanistan, and kite racing can also be understood as chasing ideals. And the kite chasing is also an important turning point in the book. So I think it's a good fit to use it as a title for the book. What do you think? ”
"Okay, I think it's great." Amir's eyes gleamed with joy.
The little worry that remained in my heart dissipated after I saw the title of the book.
As Zhu Ziqing said, kite fighting is an important tradition in Afghanistan.
Kite fighting is a competition to fly a kite to see whose kite is the most beautiful and flies higher and farther. If you are more skilled, you can also use your own kite to cut other people's kite strings.
According to tradition, the kite that falls when the string is cut belongs to whoever catches up.
As a result, some teams are made up of two or more people, some of whom are responsible for fighting kites, and some of them are responsible for chasing falling kites and picking up trophies.
The name Kite Runner is full of Afghan style at first glance, and the kite runner can also be understood as chasing the ideal of freedom, which is even more meaningful from this point of view. How could he not like it.
Gently move the mouse to click on the document, and think as you look at the contents:
The identity of the protagonist has changed from a big man to a small person. Although I don't know why it was changed like this, there must be a reason for him, and I'll ask later?
Replaced the relationship between the boss and the employee with that of a master and servant...... This is a good transition, so that the relationship between the two is closer, but it will create a sense of conflict with different identities......
Grandpa, they're all Pashtuns, and here a change has been made. The master is a Pashtun, and the servant is a Hazara.
This change is also very good, because there are many contradictions between the two ethnic groups in Afghanistan.
This setting not only increases the conflict between the two protagonists, but also tells the reader about this situation through the story of the two protagonists. It's a win-win.
Although Amir is not a writer, he still has a high level of appreciation. While reading it, I am also judging the setting of this book with my own level......
He understood the settings in some places, and he didn't understand some of them. It's just that he didn't say it in a hurry, but made a mark and continued to look down.
Some things you don't understand may be understood by reading the setting behind, and it's not too late to ask people if you really can't understand it.
Because of this, he reads very slowly, and sometimes he has to go back and compare with the previous content......
Zhu Ziqing was not in a hurry, and took out his mobile phone to chat with people. It's not that he has nothing to talk about, he hasn't been there once since the formation of the "Bright Sword" crew, and he hasn't asked much. At most, I have some understanding through phone calls and QQ.
Now it is to communicate with Chen Guoli through QQ and ask about the progress.
"The big boss finally remembered us little people, and he was really moved to tears." Chen Guoli sent a crying expression.
"Aren't you supposed to be filming now, how can you have the kung fu to surf the Internet? It can't be lazy. I don't work hard with our salary, and I surf the Internet during working hours. How do you say I should punish you. ”
“…… If you don't agree with each other, you will pretend to be thirteen. ”
"Slandering the boss, you're done."
"You don't pretend to be thirteen, we're still good friends."
"I decided, the next TV series has nothing to do with you."
"Huh? Don't. Boss, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that you pretended to be thirteen......"
Sample, I thought I couldn't clean you up, didn't I, show me another arrogant one. Looking at Chen Guoli, who was 'crying bitterly', Zhu Ziqing was proud.
Of course, this is just a way for the two to compare and match, and no one will take it seriously.
"Alright, don't talk about it. How's the shooting? "He didn't look for Chen Guoli for small talk.
"It can be completed in half a month at most, so don't you like the big boss to take a look?"
"I've worked together so many times, I still don't believe you. Nothing to look at. Can you catch up with the Spring Festival stalls? ”
"I can't catch up with the Spring Festival stalls, but I can catch up with the Spring Festival Grand Theater."
"Kaichun Grand Theater, what is that?"
"Haven't you heard what the TV always says? When you see this line on TV, the Grand Theater has arrived. ”
"Is this time period important?" Zhu Ziqing really doesn't understand, but it sounds so compelling.
"Haha...... That's fooling. What do you think, just after the Spring Festival, the students started school, the factory started, and the unit began to work...... It's the busiest time, who has the time to watch TV. ”
"Uh...... So who are you fooling by doing this? ”
"People are stupid and investors with a lot of money, the spring drama is a lot of compelling, so hurry up and invest." By the way, fool the audience, this is a big play that we have specially prepared, so let's hurry up and watch it. ”
“…… Cow"
"There's no way around it, is everyone here to survive."
"No explanation, I understand. A bunch of crooks. ”
“……”
"How is Cui Zhouping?"
Cui Zhouping is the director of DreamWorks, and he is taking the company's only crew to study with Chen Guoli.
"Not bad, it's progressing fast. When I first arrived, I didn't know anything, but now I can take those people from your company to shoot independently. ”
"What if we let them shoot a TV series independently?"
After a while, Chen Guoli replied, "The big production is still a bit reluctant, and the average film is fine." ”
After speaking, before Zhu Ziqing could reply, he said, "You're not going to let him shoot alone, are you?"
"I'm going to hand over the second part of the love apartment to him to shoot."
“…… Unload the mill and kill the donkey. And with an angry emoji.
"What do you mean, you're a donkey?"
"......" Chen Guoli sent a string of ellipses.
"Don't be like the angry little daughter-in-law. You are now the top director in the domestic TV drama circle, and you can still watch a small production like "Love Apartment"? You can't drop the price. ”
"Don't drop the price, I can cooperate with your boss Zhu, and I won't drop the price of anything."
"Alright, don't be a sycophant. Our company is about to hire someone to form a new team, this time a film production team. An experienced director will be found to take them to shoot a low-budget film to run in the team. I recommend you to do this, don't say I don't take care of you. ”
"Making a movie?" Chen Guoli replied almost instantly, which shows how excited he was.
Movies have a much higher status than TV series. Directors who make TV series want to touch the big screen when they find an opportunity, but slightly well-known film directors basically don't go back to making TV series.
It's the same with movie actors, those actors and actresses rarely take on TV dramas. Even if you take it, it must be a masterpiece of the year, and it will only be relieved if you look at the feelings of the director or producer or others.
Of course, there are also TV series directors who don't want to make movies, but there are very few such people. But Zhu Ziqing is sure that Chen Guoli definitely does not belong to this category.
"But I haven't made a movie either." The opportunity is very rare, but Chen Guoli didn't dare to take this job like this.
If it was another boss's investment, he would take it without saying a word. It doesn't matter what he shoots in the end, the opportunity is the most important. Even if the shooting is broken, it is someone else's money that will be lost, but I can accumulate experience through this shooting process.
To put it bluntly, it is to use other people's money to buy experience for yourself. But the other party is Zhu Ziqing, he will not and dare not do this.
Since hugging Zhu Ziqing's thigh, I won't talk about the achievements in my career. only talks about status, who is not polite when he sees him, even Tang Mingqin, the general manager of Chenghai Entertainment, maintains three points of respect for him.
He knew very well who brought about these changes, how could he dare to harm Zhu Ziqing.
"No, you're a graduate of the directing department of Beiying, right? Didn't make a movie when you were in school? Haven't made a graduation movie yet? Haven't been to the film crew to do chores? Zhu Ziqing asked rhetorically.
"This ...... How can I tell you, movies and TV series are different. Filming a TV series, if you don't have experience, you can always shoot it if you spend a little more effort and explore. But it's hard to make a movie without experience, and you may not be able to make anything in your life without anyone to teach you. ”
"Is that an exaggeration?" Zhu Ziqing was a little unconvinced.
In our previous life, we had read hundreds of online novels about entertainment stars. Some protagonists can make movies with some theoretical knowledge and win awards.
Some are more exaggerated. I have never been in contact with the entertainment industry in my previous life or present life, and I can make a movie as soon as I cross over, and I can make a better film than the original.
You are a graduate of the Authentic Beijing Film Directing Department, independently directed a graduation short film, and also worked as an assistant director in a serious film crew. Now it's a shame to let you make a small-budget movie.
"It's not that I excuse myself, it's that I really can't take this job. If it were someone else, the grandson would not agree, and the pit would be pitted. But our relationship is so good, I can't pit you. ”
Seeing this, whether he said it sincerely or deliberately, Zhu Ziqing felt very comfortable in his heart.
"Don't be lazy, I'll leave the job to you. If you destroy me, you'll have to wait to clean it up. ”
After a long time, Chen Guoli replied: "If you want to clean me up, dream about you."
Seeing this reply, Zhu Ziqing smiled. Because he knew that Chen Guoli had agreed.
China is so big, and there are so many directors. With his identity, it's too easy to find someone to make a movie. Why do you have to let Chen Guoli go up?
The reason is that the director has a lot of things, but not much can be used for him. Talented directors are either already famous, or they are still doing miscellaneous work, and the rest are mediocre.
Those who have become famous have their own principles, and they will not run to DreamWorks to accept Zhu Ziqing's fingers. So don't think about it at all.
His plan is big, and finding a mediocre director is too much of a delay.
It's hard to find talented directors who haven't become famous, and even if they do, it will take a long time to cultivate. But in half a year, he was going to start the Harry Potter project, and it didn't take that long at all.
So he needed to find an experienced director who was willing to accept his constraints. After thinking about it, Chen Guoli is still the most suitable.
The two have cooperated several times to know the roots, and the key is that he is willing to listen to Zhu Ziqing's opinion.
Although he has not directed films independently. But as a professional director, he has a lot of theoretical knowledge, and he has also worked as an assistant director in the film crew. At least I know how the movie is made, but I lack practical experience.
The script prepared by Zhu Ziqing is not complicated, the plot is also very simple, and there are no big scenes. It's very suitable for someone like him to shoot.
I believe that with this experience, making movies will not be a problem for him.
Just thinking about it, I heard Amir next to him in him.
"What's the matter with Amir? Are you done? ”
"After reading it, there are some places that I don't understand very well, can you explain them to me?" Amir asked.
"You say."
"The first question, why do you want to set the identity of the protagonist as an ordinary person? It's too different from who my grandfather is. (To be continued.) )
