Chapter 80: Harmony
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
The three cups clashed slightly, signaling a new deal. "Bright Sword" officially entered the preparatory stage.
Why three cups?
DreamWorks is one, Chenghai Entertainment is one, and the other is the most familiar Bayi Production.
Insiders know that it is best to shoot the main theme film and television works in China. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to have a situation where the horse's fart is slapped on the horse's hooves.
Someone wants to ask, is Bayi Productions so powerful, and it can be filmed just right every time?
That's impossible, and no one can guarantee that they won't make any mistakes. But who calls it a department in the system, and the level is quite high. The director of Bayi Factory has the rank of major general. So they have a very good relationship with radio and television. With them there, it's not too easy to submit for review.
Many crews will pull them to cooperate, even if they don't have any strength, many people are willing to put on a name. You can take a look, the production units of war dramas are basically indispensable to the name Bayi Film Studio.
Of course, Bayi Productions is not as incompetent as everyone thinks. Their hardware strength is still very strong, especially in the filming of war scenes. There are all kinds of planes, artillery, tanks, etc., and if necessary, you can also contact the army to cooperate with the shooting.
The TV series is okay, if it is a movie, it is even more necessary to cooperate with Bayi Productions. It has a lot of cinema resources in its hands. At least in the future, you don't have to worry about the number of films.
Well, that's a compliment, right? It's a must.
"Bright Sword" is an authentic main theme TV series, so DreamWorks and Chenghai Entertainment brought Bayi Productions in.
With Zhu Ziqing's identity, the people of radio and television naturally did not dare to trouble him. But favors are a very bad thing, and using too much privilege will cause disgust. He would rather lose a part of his interests than use his privileges at will.
So when Chenghai Entertainment proposed to bring Bayi Productions in, he agreed without saying a word. Some things are better left to a professional.
Originally, Bayi Productions just sent a department head over. The supervisor came over and read the script first, and then began to give his opinion.
What protagonist has too many dirty words that does not conform to the glorious image of the older generation of revolutionaries, what hostile party Chu Yunfei portrays too brilliantly, what is this a military ruffian or something...... It's called a cool crooked one in my heart, and I give Zhu Ziqing to drink footwashing water, and it feels different. Of course, even if he was killed, he didn't dare to show this mentality. Finally, he asked to change the script.
Zhu Ziqing ignored him at all. After he finished speaking, Chen Guoli next to him said slowly that this actor was written based on the two old generals of the Tao Lin family, and he was also appreciated by the old generals of Tao Huguo.
The director of Bayi Factory fell off the bench and slipped under the table in fright. Too much swearing? Not bright enough? Military ruffian? The director wanted to slap both of himself and make you owe. If these words reach the ears of the Tao Lin family, it will be a luxury to want to roll up and go home.
The incident involved two veteran generals, and the entire Bayi Factory was alarmed. This is the main theme of the main theme. A high-level meeting was held immediately, and the factory director gave a dead order: it must be paid attention to, and it must be filmed well. Well, respect Zhu Ziqing's opinion, everything is subject to his intentions. We really respect the original, not to throw the pot.
So a new team led by the deputy director of the factory with the rank of colonel went out again to carry out the shooting mission.
The colonel's posture in front of Zhu Ziqing was called a low one, and his attitude basically reached the level of the two mortals in his previous life.
(This paragraph could be expanded on in more detail.) How ugly the director's face was, how calm Zhu Ziqing was, and how happy the people around him were. In the end, the mystery reveals how embarrassed the director is...... It's no problem writing three or five chapters at all. Pretending to be forced to slap your face or something is the most sour. Well, I'll give it a try later. )
"Hehe, this Director Zhang is much more knowledgeable than that supervisor." Chen Guoli said with a smile.
"You look exactly like what you say about the director." Zhu Ziqing scoffed.
"Slander, slander of red fruit. You are an insult to my personality...... "Chen Guoli said sadly.
"Pull it down, do you have a personality?" Zhu Ziqing said disdainfully: "Speaking of business, what is the situation of your company?" Is there anyone else against it? ”
Chenghai Entertainment represents the interests of a circle of people, and the two cooperation allowed Zhu Ziqing to take advantage of it, which naturally harmed the interests of those people. Many people's money is like killing their parents, what if you are Zhu Ziqing? Many people have raised micro-criticisms. The collaboration was met with resistance from the start.
"What else, as soon as I heard that the old general of the Tao Lin family was involved, he was so honest that he didn't dare to let a fart go." Chen Guoli said contemptuously.
At the same time, I also felt a lot of emotion in my heart. Although Chenghai Entertainment is very strong, it is only for the entertainment industry, and it is no different from small shrimp in the general environment.
The theater line still dares to card their film schedule, and radio and television will still use knives against them, and other departments will also spend a lot of money to deal with them......
There is no film he has handled himself that has not used scissors. There were even a few that were knocked back several times, and in the end they couldn't be sold and could only be piled up in the warehouse.
and several films cooperated with Zhu Ziqing, "Soldier Assault" was not cut, and "Love Apartment" was not cut.
Looking at the situation of "Bright Sword", the protagonist is full of swear words and acts arrogantly and domineering...... Is this called the main theme? It would be strange if such a film could pass the review. The director of Bayi Productions dared to chirp crookedly, but it was precisely this handle that he grasped.
If it is changed to another entertainment company, there is no negotiation for a major change of script. But now? The bombastic supervisor went home in disgrace, and a deputy factory director with more power to speak came. The posture is low, and people who don't know still think that he is Zhu Ziqing's pony.
When did you see the leader of Bayi so low? Never, for the first time. In my heart, it's called a cheerfulness.
Of course, he is not such a superficial person either. Although the play "Bright Sword" is unconventional, it is really well written. In today's words, the protagonist is down-to-earth. is full of swear words and is arrogant and domineering, which makes the protagonist full of unique personality charm. With more than ten years of filming experience, he dares to conclude that this drama will definitely be a big hit.
If the protagonist is changed to Wei Guangzheng's image according to the convention, this is another cliché main theme film.
It is precisely because of the excitement and unconventionality of "Bright Sword" that he can better understand how painful the scissors of radio and television are. Zhu Ziqing scared away the director of Bayi Production, and his feelings were deeper. At one point, he even came up with the idea that it would be nice if every one of my films could do the same.
Of course, he also knew that it couldn't be. So as soon as this thought came out, he snuffed it out by himself. But a seed has been planted in the heart before you know it.
"The agreement has been reached, it's time to start casting, I don't know what you want from the actors?" Chen Guoli put aside distracting thoughts and asked. (To be continued.) )
