Meng Xinghui signaled that Yin Houde could answer the question, which is also one of the procedures of the review conference, if the participants have any objections to which side of a director's proposal, the director himself can explain the doubts on the spot.

Yin Houde cleared his throat and said: "Although this is a love story, the background is the Three Kingdoms after all, only under the magnificent era and grand war scenes, the love between heroes and beauties can be more helpless and desperate, more shocking, so the investment in creating a big scene alone must not be less, if the investment of 80 million is reduced, it means that some scenes will cut corners, and it is difficult to say whether the inherent effect can be achieved." When Mr. Meng gave us the task, he said that let's not have the concept of box office in our minds, as long as we produce the best works we think. ”

Zhang Mingqi glanced at Meng Xinghui, coughed, and said, "Okay, I'm fine." ”

Meng Xinghui smiled: "Although the movie itself is indeed a commodity, it will inevitably face box office pressure after it is listed, and a movie that no one watches can definitely not be regarded as a successful movie, but before we shoot a movie, we can't be affected by the box office, we just need to do our best to make the most sincere movie, I believe that the box office is a matter of course, as long as we continue to launch high-quality products, even if we will lose money in the early stage, but our experience will become more and more abundant, Sooner or later, we can make good movies that have both box office and word-of-mouth. Regarding Director Yin's "Tears of a Millennium", I am personally more optimistic, so there is no limit in terms of budget, even if you spend 100 million in the end, as long as you can shoot the expected effect, I think it is worth it. Of course, Mr. Zhang sits in this position, and I understand and support the investment and benefits that must be paid attention to. Making movies is also a kind of commercial behavior, since commercial behavior will be risky, we can't hold back because we are afraid of losing money, everyone says? Zhang Mingqi said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, directors are really lucky to have a boss like you, and only in such an atmosphere can they shoot the works they really want, I support you." Meng Xinghui's concept of not utilitarian and not aiming for short-term gains has won the favor of everyone here, and people who are aspiring to do big things never care about the small profits in front of them, as far as this drama is concerned, even if Yin Houde spends a budget of 100 million, if he finally shoots a satisfactory work, even if the box office is not good in the end and he loses money, it cannot be said to be a failed attempt, at least, Yin Houde has established strong confidence, and has accumulated valuable experience and lessons, which will also be affirmed by the industry. A film that is not popular is not necessarily not a high-quality product. "Do anyone else have any objections? If not, go to the poll immediately. Meng Xinghui asked three times, and no one in the audience questioned it, so the procedure entered the final voting stage, and everyone who attended the meeting wrote down their precious vote.

Zhang Wei was busy counting the votes, Zhang Jinsong was supervising on the side, and finally when the results came out, Zhang Wei handed the statistical results to Meng Xinghui, Meng Xinghui glanced at it, he smiled, and said: "Next, I announce the voting results of Director Yin Houde's planned work "Tears of the Millennium......" At this juncture, he also deliberately hung everyone's appetite, and the anxious Yin Houde scratched his ears and cheeks, and the green tendons on his neck were exposed. Unanimous vote! Congratulations, Director Yin, you are ready for your first movie! "Yay! yes!‘ Yin Houde jumped up from his chair at once, excitedly shaking his arms and punching in the air, his dream has finally taken a solid step, he can read Li to direct his beloved movie!

He recalled the hard years after graduation, a high-achieving student who graduated from the directing department of the film academy became a dispensable chicken rib on the set, making scene notes, sometimes working as a prop master, helping the director select extras, sending box lunches to the staff, enduring the humiliation of big-name actors and big-name directors, there is actually a wider gap than the Pacific Ocean and reality between the ideal and reality, at that time, he felt dark when he thought of the future, but today, half a year later, he Yin Houde has a budget of 100 million, You can shoot what you want to shoot as you like, and you don't have to worry about whether the box office will fail miserably, such a free and relaxed creative environment is what every director who aims at art dreams of, and it is precisely because of the previous tragedy that he cherishes the happiness in front of him even more, at this moment, he burst into tears...... "Congratulations, Director Yin." Everyone here applauded him, in fact, Yin Houde's directing ability has been affirmed during the filming of "Romantic Career", and even director Zhao Baogang praised him, he is fully capable of mastering a big-budget movie.

For Yin Houde's dream to come true, the other four directors are the most touched, because they have experienced everything Yin Houde has experienced, so after Yin Houde's work proposal is approved, they are also the people who are the most happy to him, and at the same time, they are more and more looking forward to whether their work plan can be passed.

The second proposed work plan is directed by Zhu Heping, his script tells a business war suspense story, the protagonist is a grassroots student after graduating from college, and some ups and downs in the process of starting a business from scratch, at the beginning, the protagonist of the story and his college lover came to the international metropolis Shenhai to work, two years later his lover lost his way in the prosperity of the ten-mile ocean, she decisively chose to break up with him, and threw herself into the arms of another rich businessman, So the protagonist resigned angrily under grief and went to the sea, and began his entrepreneurial career, he started from the lowest floor tile salesman, gradually became bigger, and finally owned his own building materials company, and caught up with the real estate blowout era, made a windfall, and got involved in real estate, becoming a real estate tycoon. During this period, his emotional world is also very rich, on the one hand, it is a rich girl who helped him a lot in the process of starting a business, on the other hand, it is an ex-girlfriend who has hurt him, he is deeply trapped in the emotional whirlpool of revenge and accepting a new relationship, but he finally failed to resist the revenge anger in his heart, so he took crazy revenge on the rich businessman who snatched his girlfriend, and finally under his series of secret actions, the rich businessman's company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and finally he had to come to the door to beg the protagonist. The protagonist gives the man a choice, first, to announce on the spot that he will abandon his ex-girlfriend, then he will give the rich businessman a way to live, and second, in front of his ex-girlfriend, kneel down and beg him.

In order to keep his company, the rich businessman brings his wife to the protagonist, declares on the spot that he does not want the woman, and kneels in front of the protagonist and begs bitterly, like a poor dog.

In the end, the wealthy businessman's company survives, but will never recover, and the protagonist's ex-girlfriend commits suicide by slitting her wrists in her room late one night...... Although the protagonist got revenge, he didn't feel very happy, and the rich girl who had always loved and helped him also chose to leave, he lived in regret or pain every day, if he had been a little more tolerant and not so extreme, maybe he had married the rich girl who loved him deeply and loved him deeply, and had a happy and healthy family, and her ex-girlfriend would not be humiliated and died, and he didn't have to spend every day so guiltily.

This is a story about choice, everyone's life will face countless choices, it is possible that an obsession, a wrong choice, will make your life completely different, and the final ending will also leave the audience with endless thoughts and aftertastes, what kind of life is truly happy, which one can make you happier with happiness and hatred or forgiveness, everyone will have a different answer.

Zhu Heping's script is quite wonderful, the story is fast-paced, there are both hardships in the process of entrepreneurship, and the battle of wits and courage in the process of the business war between the two companies, the battle between spies is as exciting as a suspense drama, if you don't think about it carefully, there is no problem at all with this movie as a commercial spy war film, but compared with the general "The story is very good-looking, and the memories are not" Compared with commercial films, this drama is still quite profound for the excavation and criticism of surnames, and the excavation of surnames in the commercial context, shows the meaning of beautiful emotions to life, such clues make this play thick all of a sudden, and has a literary atmosphere.

The name of this drama is tentatively set as "Choice", with a budget of 60 million, and it is expected that the actor will still be Meng Xinghui, and the female number one among the actresses, that is, the rich girl who loves the male protagonist deeply, expects the actor to still be Jin Yufei, Meng Xinghui and Jin Yufei are the two major signboards of Star Entertainment, their popularity is enough to ensure that the box office of this drama will not be too bad, and the two of them are actors in their own company, so they don't need to consider the salary at all, because they must take the box office share, so that they can save the salary of the male and female protagonists. is used to do other work, and the other heroine, Zhu Heping, is actually Yang Mi. "Yang Mi?" Mei Ruohua said in surprise: "Why don't you use our company's own actors?" Zhu Heping scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I want to invite Yang Mi not because she is currently very popular, but because she successfully played the role of a gold worshipper in the TV series "Yanjing Love Story", I think the surname and situation of the heroine in "Choice" are similar to Yang Mi's role in "Northern Love", although he worships money, his inner feelings have not subsided, so he lives a more tangled life, in addition, Yang Mi is here, when he played Guo Xiang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I liked this actor very much, but, If you can't get it by then, you can change people. "I'm dizzy, Brother Zhu, you really dare to think that Mr. Meng is the male number one, Miss Yufei and Yang Mi are the heroines, such a combination is really made by you and not killing the Quartet, just by the excitement of your script, it is strange that the box office does not break 300 million." Fang Xiao's eyes widened exaggeratedly, and he shook his head as he gasped.

Jin Yufei and Yang Mi have rivalry in "The Condor Heroes", one plays Xiaolongnu and the other plays Guo Xiang, which can be regarded as a pair of love rivals.

With Star Entertainment's current wealth and popularity in the industry, any kind of star can be invited, and the key depends on whether Yang Mi has a schedule.

Meng Xinghui smiled: "Well, I was asked to be the leading actor in both plays, this wishful thinking is good, but it's a pity that I don't have skills, for the sake of fairness, I can't participate in anyone's plays, you can consider other actors, even if you want to invite Andy Lau, I will try my best to help you contact, I don't know if it can succeed." Jin Yufei also covered his forehead and sighed: "Alas, it's really a happy trouble, I used to worry that there would be no filming, but now there are more dramas and I don't know who to film, why should I choose?" I'm most afraid of choosing. As soon as she said this, there was a burst of knowing laughter in the conference room.

"Do you have any objections to Director Zhu's plan?"

"Director Zhu, I read your script, I personally think it is a rare work that combines commercial surnames and artistic surnames better, and the budget of 60 million is acceptable, the key issue is the choice of actors, you must know that in this type of movie, the appeal of actors is also very important, and now Mr. Meng has made it clear that he cannot participate, and Yufei is likely not to be able to join, so who are you going to invite to be the hero and heroine of the finale? This is a very important issue, and only when the selection of the hero and heroine is finalized can the plan be implemented smoothly. Mei Ruohua said: "Can you give a candidate who prefers the surname?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Heping pondered for a while, and said: "This aspect of the theme is relatively good, in recent years, I will be the first to promote the "Eavesdropping" series directed by Er Dongsheng, Gu Tianle, Wu Yanzu, Liu Qingyun's performances are highly recognized, if I have to choose, Gu Tianle is more optimistic, Wu Yanzu is okay, Liu Qingyun's age is a little different from the actor in the script. Yang Nan opened his mouth wide and said, "Brother Zhu, I found that you are really wide-hearted and fat, can you think of Gu Tianle and Wu Yanzu?" We are nobodies who are not famous at all, will a big name like them be willing to film for us? Zhu Heping said: "Why don't you dare to think about it?" I have confidence in my own script, as long as the script is good and willing to spend money, I don't believe they can refuse such a temptation, the two of them have worked hard in the film and television industry for so many years, and they have earned a lot of money, I think what they want to chase most should be honor, maybe they can get the Golden Statue of the Best Actor or something with my play. Meng Xinghui nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, people who are engaged in artistic creation need to be confident at all times, believe that their works are done well, and only in this way can they pour all their enthusiasm, indeed, Gu Tianle and Wu Yanzu are both big names, but just like Director Zhu said, as long as our script is good, the investment budget is high, and the salary for them is high enough, they have no reason to refuse us." That's it, we'll contact these two people for you as soon as possible to see if they can join. Yang Mi, we will also try our best to help you contact, as for the candidate for the female number one, Yu Fei may not be very suitable, I have other arrangements for her, you can consider our company's contracted actors, with Gu Tianle or Wu Yanzu, you can't be popular or not, you can discuss this candidate later. As soon as Meng Xinghui said this, the hearts of actors like Lu Yaqing and Yang Xintong began to pound, Meng Xinghui was right, they have all read the script directed by Zhu Heping, it is very exciting, if you get the opportunity to play against top actors like Louis Koo and Wu Yanzu, it will be really lucky, just like Mr. Meng said, you can't be popular or not, they invariably think about this role, but they know the rules of Star Entertainment, there are no unspoken rules here, only speak with strength, Even if you have the strength, if the role is not for you, no matter which executive you have a good relationship with, the role will still not be given to you.

The role is reserved for the best and most suitable actors, which is always the iron law of Star Entertainment.

In the end, the work plan of director Zhu Heping was also unanimously approved.

Fang Xiao and Yang Nan have always been the best buddies, so the script of the two of them is also co-written, ready to complete the filming of a drama together, the combination of the two of them is similar to the combination of Hong Kong's To Qifeng Wei Jiahui, the styles of the two are more complementary, and they can always spark together, the name of their play is "Black Angel", which tells the story of a down-and-out teenager who suddenly has a strange ability, and then he uses this ability to call the wind and rain in the city, which is actually a bit similar to, "Superman" and "Spider-Man" This type of movie, but "Black Angel" has more Chinese characteristics, for example, he is like a city hunter, collecting evidence of corrupt officials [***], and then bringing them to justice, which is very Chinese.

Fang Xiao and Yang Nan's purpose is obvious, that is, to make a commercial blockbuster with visual effects, and use 3D skills, although such films are more expensive, but the box office is generally not bad, but this type of movie is generally the world of Hollywood, whether Fang Xiao and Yang Nan's drama can be successfully transplanted depends on their ability. But as the directors of Star Entertainment, they have an innate advantage, that is, they don't have to worry about the production of post-production special effects, and the post-production of special effects of Star Entertainment is world-class, no worse than the level of Hollywood's special effects.

In the end, Fang Xiaoyang Nan's work plan was also approved.

Little sister Pan Yunjia's work is very special, she uses the unique perspective of the female surname to capture a unique social phenomenon, that is, the immature unmarried mother is increasing year by year, her script is about the junior high school student Xiaomi, and her boyfriend secretly tasted the forbidden fruit after becoming pregnant, a series of stories triggered, through the eyes of a young girl, you can see this complex world, complex people's hearts and many complex thoughts, when these thoughts collide, it will have amazing consequences.

The name of the movie is very straightforward, it is called "The Troubles of Millet", although there is nothing earth-shattering about this story, but it is better to point directly to people's hearts, torture souls, and analyze the phenomenon of the whole society through the experience of a character, to see the big from the small, thought-provoking. This drama is not a commercial film, it is an obvious literary film, but the whole is not dull, and the story is told very smoothly.

The budget of the little junior sister is only 10 million, which is considered a small-budget movie, such a low budget, such a wonderful script, so there is no reason not to pass.
