Chapter 164: Premature Death
Time flashed, and it was early May. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The imperial capital, sunny to cloudy.
Film Department of the State Administration of Optoelectronics, the rough cut version of "Wolf Warrior 2" is under review.
has had the painful experience of "Wolf Warrior 1", and the review of "Wolf Warrior 2" is much earlier than Tang Nian imagined.
In order to save time in post-production, and for "Wolf Warrior 2" to meet the audience as soon as possible, Wu Jing made a very bold decision this time and came directly to the Film Department of the State Administration of Optoelectronics with a rough cut version of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Because it is a modern military theme, the film department of the State Administration of Optoelectronics does not dare to be careless and dispatches collectively.
Not only that, but even the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have special personnel to come.
"Wolf Warrior 1" is a very good modern military-themed movie, with a double harvest in word-of-mouth and box office.
And it was designated by the Ministry of National Defense as an excellent military-themed film that the whole army must see, and after being painted in theaters across the country, it has successively entered various military camps in major military regions.
The special forces experience involved in "Wolf Warrior 1", as well as the scenes of killing drug dealers at the border, have inspired the whole army.
Therefore, for the first time, the Ministry of Defense took the initiative to send people over to participate in the review of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Wu Jing's big-screen image of a military tough guy was quietly established.
"Bloody scenes of terror-terror-attack-attack...... Well, it's okay, but it's necessary to further weaken the sense of the picture, and the camera dwell time can't exceed 3 seconds......"
"In the link of rescuing the hostages, the cooperation of the military and police on the South African side cannot be flashed by, and it cannot make people feel that we are in a noisy manner, so give the South African side more military and police shots, and it is best to extend it to two minutes......
"The intensity of this scene's satire on the U.S. military is a bit excessive, and it needs to be weakened, so as not to arouse the ...... of national extremeism."
At the same time that the Ministry of National Defense came to review the personnel to quickly give suggestions for revision, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also listed some sensitive points on paper.
"It's better not to mention the term mercenary, it will be suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries! It would be more appropriate to change to security personnel......"
"The image of the South African military and police cannot be deliberately vilified, and the dialogue in the 22nd minute must be revised!"
"The footage in the 71st minute is suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and needs to be cut and modified......"
“……”
Seeing that nearly twenty auditors, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense, were writing and drawing in the notebook, Wu Jing's heart sank suddenly.
Could it be that ...... a series of troubles encountered when "Wolf Warrior 1" was submitted for review, do you have to do it again on "Wolf Warrior 2"?
No matter how long the movie is, there will be a curtain call after all.
The rough cut version of "Wolf Warrior 2" looks like it is about 150 minutes.
When the screen went black and the subtitles began to scroll upwards, nearly twenty reviewers breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, nearly 20 auditors began to summarize the revision opinions in their hands, sorted them out by special personnel, and gave the final revision opinions on the spot.
This is the only privilege of "Wolf Warrior 2", and it is also Wu Jing's only treatment.
If other films are submitted for review, a final conclusion will not be given if it is not delayed for ten days and a half months, and it is not necessarily good news that you can get a public screening license after modification.
It can be seen that the "Wolf Warrior" brand established by Wu Jing has won support at the national level.
Twenty minutes later, the opinions of all the reviewers were finally summarized and handed over to Qi Genlin, director of the film department and deputy director of the State Administration of Optoelectronics.
"First of all, I want to say that "Wolf Warrior 2" is a very good modern military-themed movie, which is of great significance for establishing the excellent appearance of modern soldiers in our country and boosting the morale of our military!"
"However, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes, we have proposed some revisions to some of the shots and footage clips in "Wolf Warrior 2"......"
"A total of 8 articles, after the revision, it will be submitted for review again, it should be almost over!"
Wu Jing took the paper, his eyes hurriedly swept over, and a big stone hanging in his heart finally fell.
Fortunately, they are only minor changes, and although the changes in some of them are troublesome, they basically do not affect the main plot line of the movie.
"Wu Jing, I hereby invite you, can you hold the premiere press conference of "Wolf Warrior 2" in the PLA University?"
The representative from the Ministry of Defense, a burly military man, said expectantly.
"No problem, when I get the public screening license after the official review, I plan to hold a screening party at the PLA University!"
Wu Jing's eyes lit up, but he thought of more.
……
"Everyone is speeding up the pace of film review in their hands, the summer vacation is coming, these movies are planned to be released at this time, we can't take the blame anymore!"
"The grouping should be clear, the modification opinions given should be clear, the group should be reviewed first, and the people in that group can leave work early!"
"Let's do it together!"
After Wu Jing and his party left, Qi Genlin clapped his hands and cheered for the subordinates of the Film Division.
Of course, as the director of the Film Department and the deputy director of the State Administration of Optoelectronics, Qi Genlin no longer has to bury his head in reviewing films, and "Wolf Warrior 2" is a special case.
"Qi Bureau, Director Wu is looking for you!"
At this moment, Zigenlin's secretary knocked on the door and walked in.
"Oh, do you know what's going on?"
Qi Genlin came out of the house and asked as he walked.
"The specifics are not clear, it seems that there is a TV series for the filing and review, and there is a big disagreement between Zhang Ju and Director Wu......"
"Why did you call me for the filing of the TV series project? I'm not from the TV Division, so if I speak, it's not good, right? ”
"Qi Bureau, I heard that this TV series is also a modern military theme, the review party is Tencent Pictures, and the producer information is Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, a subsidiary of Tencent Pictures, and there is only one specific personnel information, which is Tang Nian's ......"
"Tang Nian? It turned out to be the Year of the Tang Dynasty! I understand...... You go get busy first! ”
The moment he heard Tang Nian's name, Qi Genlin's pace paused for a moment, and then returned to normal.
After waving off his secretary, Qi Genlin came to the office of Director Wu of the General Administration of Optoelectronics.
The door opened, and inside sat Director Wu and Deputy Director Zhang of the Television Department, Zhang Jun.
"Click!"
Qi Genlin closed the door and unceremoniously picked up the TV series project filing book on the table.
The above lists the plot overview of the TV series for the record, the type of TV series, the expected shooting period and number of episodes, the production area, the main creative personnel, etc.
"Traitor?"
Adapted from the iron-blooded military network modern military novel "Traitor", the original author of the Mid-Autumn Festival Mingyue, the story tells the story of a Chinese man Qi Tianlin, who became a mercenary in North Africa by mistake, after encountering the betrayal of his brother, a series of stories experienced in the process of revenge...... The main production areas of the first season of "Traitor" are in Africa, Europe and the United States, and the filming period is expected to be eight months, with an estimated number of 24 episodes and a single episode duration of 70 minutes...... Director, screenwriter, producer...... It's all Tang years! ”
Although Qi Genlin had made full psychological preparations in the secretary's advance notification, he was still taken aback by Tang Nian's multi-tasking.
"Lao Qi, what do you think?"
Director of the State Administration of Optoelectronics, Wu Zhongqiu asked with a frown.
"What do you think? Our film department has just reviewed Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2", what do you think of it? Modern military themes always have to be involved, and we can't keep pressing them and not letting go, right? ”
The first to speak was Director Wu Zhongqiu, which made Qi Genlin have some understanding in his heart.
Bacheng is Deputy Director Zhang Jun of the Television Department, and he has doubts about the filing of "Traitor", and he has great differences with Director Wu.
"Movies are movies, TV is TV!"
"Movies cost money to watch, and they have little influence on the public; However, television is to be broadcast on TV stations, and even broadcast on the stars for free, which has too great an impact on the whole society...... Especially this modern military-themed TV series, it is still produced by Tang Nian......"
"You don't know how much social impact the Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation has caused!"
"When the first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" was broadcast, the elementary school student who ran away from home caused a lot of trouble on the Internet, if it weren't for the plot reversal, I would have been completely planted!"
"The level of TV drama production has come up, it is too good, it is not good, the social influence is too great, and it is difficult to judge whether it is good or bad...... In short, I oppose the filing of modern military themes such as "Traitor", and it will not be approved! ”
Zhang Jun, director of the Television Department of the State Administration of Optoelectronics, snorted and was very resolute.
It's also aggrieved to think about it, as the director of the TV Department, he has to take the blame for the uneven TV dramas in the TV drama market, and he has to blame the TV Department for any problems.
Why are TV series with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, goofs and thunder scenes abound?
It's not that I'm afraid that the plot will be too realistic and teach bad elementary school students......
The whole family gathered in front of the TV, watching the bloody and cruel little devils appear on the TV, and our army resisted stubbornly and finally suffered heavy casualties...... The truth is real, but who will resist the consequences caused by this?
Wouldn't it be a joke if an elementary school student was affected by this and began to hate his Japanese friends, and when he saw a Japanese person, he rushed up and shouted and beat him?
The director of this TV department is too difficult to do!
Every TV series has to be signed by the director of the TV Department for the filing of the project until the broadcast license is finally obtained, which is a heavy responsibility.
"The Glory of Datang", which was removed from the shelves not long ago, is it not because of too much 'historical nihilism'?
As a result, he, the director of the Television Department of the State Administration of Optoelectronics, was criticized by historical experts and professors in public writings......
It's so stressful.
"That's why you chose the 'not to pass' decision for "Traitors"?"
"Lao Zhang, you are choking on food!"
"The first season of the TV series "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" caused thousands of empty alleys, and the year-end general evaluation of national cultural institutions, your identity as an excellent representative has been confirmed, this is the political achievement that Tang Nian sent you, are you still not happy?"
"My film department, until now, is still not welcomed because of Zhang Yimou's "Civil War"!"
"But so what, I'm coming upright, sitting up straight, not afraid of shadows, let them speak!"
"If they come up, maybe it will make it worse......"
Qi Genlin said unceremoniously.
"You just read the synopsis of the first season of "Traitor", and you don't think there's any problem, but I just turned over the original novel of "Traitor" before you came, and the first chapter in it talks about Qi Tianlin going to North Africa as a mercenary to overthrow the government of Ka Zafi! I hurriedly flipped through a few chapters, which talked about terrorist attacks and various military coups, piracy, overseas military bases, pure religion, a large number of military and diplomatic operations between countries, and finally the establishment of the state......"
Listening to Qi Genlin's words, Zhang Jun patted the table with some unhappiness.
"Overseas statehood? Military coup? Create a terrorist* attack? This designation can't pass the trial! ”
"Even if the current project filing is passed, it will eventually be stillborn and unable to be broadcast in China......"
"What does Tang Nian think? Could it be that he doesn't even know these basic common senses? This is China, not North America, and this kind of theme cannot be broadcast on the stars! ”
"Lao Zhang, do you want to wait for Tang Nian to apply for a filming permit, get the synopsis of the first season of "Traitor", and then it's not too late to 'disapprove'?"
Qi Genlin listened to Zhang Jun's words, was very surprised, and finally suggested.
"I know that I can't pass the trial and still come to make it, that is, I know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains, which is death!"
"If it's a movie, as long as you are willing to revise it according to the opinions, you can pass the review...... But if you want to put this modern military theme that involves the international level on the TV screen, it will definitely not work! ”
"This Tang year, it's really a toss......"
"This time, even if it is to teach him a lesson and let him understand a truth, not that there is room for creation in China, no matter who it is, how famous it is......"
"Smack!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jun picked up the seal of the TV Department and stamped it heavily on the application for the filing of the first season of the TV series "Traitor".
'Not passed'
Four bright red characters, ruthless and indifferent.
……
"Jingle Bell ......"
Tang Nian, who was far away in Hengdu Film and Television City, received a call from Mr. Bai in the afternoon of the same day.
"Stop, Tang Nian!"
"The first season of the TV series "Traitor" can't even pass the project filing, and the TV Department of the State Administration of Optoelectronics has not given any revisions, only four bright red characters 'not approved'......"
“……”
The phone had been hung up for some reason, and Tang Nian's heart felt a deep sadness for no reason.
"The first season of the "Traitor" TV series failed to be filed?"
"Hey!"
Mid-Autumn Festival Mingyue let out a long sigh, and the energy in her body was drained in an instant, and she no longer had the motivation to adapt the script.
"I believe that "Traitor" will eventually be brought to the screen one day!"
"It's me who is too anxious......"
"Mingyue, I'm sorry, the film and television adaptation of "Traitor" may be frozen!"
When these words were spoken, Tang Nian shed unwilling tears.
The screenwriters of the Mid-Autumn Festival Mingyue and Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop looked at the script adaptation of the first season of "Traitor" that had just been released, lying quietly on the table, regret and regret intertwined on their faces.
No one knows better than them how much effort Tang Nian put into the script of the first season of "Traitor".
originally thought that a modern military-themed TV series that caused a sensation across the country was about to be born with their collective efforts......
But at the moment when the script was just finalized, the pace of film and television of "Traitor" came to an abrupt end.
He died.
The ruthless and cold cruel reality made Tang Nian's confident desire to create a basin of cold and biting cold water.
"Bang!"
Tang Nian slammed his fist on the table, allowing drops of blood to ooze from the cracked fist, staining the script on the table red.
But the unwillingness in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time......
