"You said you were the crew of "You from the Stars"?"

The middle-aged man with glasses looked at Xiao Qing, pointed at him, and asked tentatively: "If this is the crew of "You from the Star", then are you Director Xiao Qing?" Xiao Qing, the champion of this year's Youth Guide Competition? ”

Xiao Qing was a little confused, but still nodded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hahaha, great! That's great! There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. ”

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, hurriedly held Xiao Qing's hand, and said happily: "Hello Director Xiao Qing, I am the head of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and my name is Zhou Qing." ”

Xiao Qing also politely shook Zhou Qing's hand: "Hello! ”

"It's such Director Xiao Qing, we have a city promotional film to shoot in Jiangnan City this year, because this year's promotional film is a bit special, so we have been soliciting interested directors in Jiangnan City to shoot in the high-tech industry, and I have also sent you an email before, but I didn't expect to wait for your reply, but I actually met you here." The middle-aged man wearing glasses said again and again, but after glancing around, he added in a low voice: "Director Xiao Qing, you might as well change to a place with fewer people, there are some things in the city that should not be known by too many people." ”

"Okay."

Xiao nodded yes and followed Zhou Qing to a small river behind the filming location.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Qing asked, "What you said just now was the Jiangnan City promotional video?" As far as I know, Jiangnan City will shoot a promotional film every four years, and it should have been the responsibility of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee all along, so how can it be solicited from the whole city this time? ”

"You don't know..."Zhou Qing leaned slightly closer to Xiao Qing and said, "If it's normal times, the promotional video can be filmed normally." But this time, it just so happens that Jiangnan City is going to select the top ten civilized cities in the country, and the top will strictly check and screen layer by layer, and the promotional video is the face of Jiangnan City, so it is natural to strictly control it. ”

"So there is such a thing."

Xiao pouted lightly, his energy has been focused on film and television during this time, and he hasn't paid much attention to the situation in Jiangnan City, no wonder he doesn't know.

"That's right! This is the fourth time that Jiangnan City has applied for the top ten civilized cities in the country, and the city leaders are also anxious to accompany each of the past four times, so the leadership team has spoken, and this selection is imperative! ”

Zhou Qing said again and again, and added with a sigh of relief: "For this selection, the city's leadership team is full of energy, and all aspects are striving for perfection and striving for the best, and this promotional video is the first pass of the city's selection. However, the filming technology and shooting equipment of our Propaganda Department are really limited, so we will solicit promotional film shooting plans and samples in Jiangnan City. ”

"So you're hoping?" Xiao asked lightly.

"We hope you'll help us shoot!" Zhou Qing looked at Xiao Qing sincerely.

Xiao shook his head lightly and said: "I'm just a new-generation director, there are a bunch of niche and even popular directors in Jiangnan City, you can find them to shoot, I believe their directing skills are definitely better than mine." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's face was a little embarrassed.

Xiao looked at him lightly, waiting for his next step.

Xiao Qing could naturally guess why Zhou Qing didn't look for those niche or even popular directors, in fact, it was not that he didn't look for them, but that those directors were unwilling to come to film.

The city promotional film is a tasteless and discarded chicken rib shooting project, which is almost the same as a documentary.

But unlike documentaries, urban propaganda films are more political, and there is a saying in the director's circle called "three points related to politics", which means that politically related shooting projects should be extra cautious, and some political rules and regulations should be on the line, and you should be very careful in the expression of the lens.

And the promotional film is actually a very embarrassing shooting project, shooting a promotional video, it is very simple, you can shoot it with basic photography, but if you want to shoot well, it is very difficult, it is the kind of typical entry easy and profound. And compared with entertainment film and television, political city propaganda films are also less profitable.

So to sum up, the city propaganda film is the type that is difficult and not easy to please, not to mention the propaganda film used by Jiangnan City to select the top ten civilized cities, the requirements are higher, and there are more taboos. And even if there is no taboo, but the promotional film is the same as the documentary, it is too difficult to shoot novel and surprising, fascinating, in case Jiangnan City is defeated because the promotional film is usually filmed, then the director in charge of filming will not lose face in the director's circle? All these factors are combined, and it is no wonder that no director dares to be in charge of filming.

"Director Xiao Qing, let me tell you the truth, it's not that I haven't found other directors, but no one wants to shoot." Zhou Qing shook his head, "It is difficult to shoot urban propaganda films, there are many taboos, the profits are relatively small, and the risks are large, so I really can't find a director who is willing to shoot." ”

"Then you're still looking for me to shoot?" Xiao lightly blocked Zhou Qing's words.

"This..."

Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly, and suddenly changed his words, and said: "In fact, the leading group in the city attaches great importance to the selection of the top ten civilized cities this time, if you can help Jiangnan City to be selected, then you will also be credited to the 'political achievements' of the city's personal file, and with these 'political achievements', it will be much easier for you to shoot in the future." ”

Zhou Qing changed his tone and continued: "And Director Xiao Qing is still a rookie director, this newcomer has the benefits of a newcomer, and the young man's lens will have the creativity and vitality that a young person should have, which is more conducive to making a good promotional film, and the political achievements of young directors are generally lacking, although this promotional film is a challenge, but it is not an opportunity?" If you shoot well, then Director Xiao Qing will also have a strong stroke in Jiangnan City's 'political achievements', which will be very beneficial to your future development. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qing lowered his head and thought silently, what Zhou Qing said was actually what he thought.

As a newcomer, Xiao Qing does not have any political achievements, which is actually a major disadvantage of Xiao Qing at present.

You may ask, what kind of political achievements does this mixed entertainment industry want? Not in politics again?

This notion is very wrong!

In China, not only artists need beautiful political achievements, but also entertainment companies, program groups, and crews all need "political achievements".

To give the simplest example, in Xiao Qing's original world, HN Satellite TV has a variety show called "Real Man", which records 6-8 stars with different age spans and different personality labels, going deep into the front-line troops, changing identities, and experiencing four real military camp experiences of five days and four nights in different branches of the military, eating, living and training with young soldiers.

This is a large-scale national defense education special program jointly launched by the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Bayi Film Studio and HN Satellite TV, through which the audience learned about the military career of the People's Liberation Army for the first time, felt the difficulties of the people's soldiers, and strengthened the sense of national pride.

But at the same time, we might as well think about it, being able to cooperate with the military and be able to enter the army to shoot, which can be done by any program group?

Of course not!

This requires not only sufficient positive program values, but also a strong official background and political achievements.

In fact, in film and television shooting, many times some government support is needed, such as making war movies, wanting to shoot live-action tanks, such as filming reality shows, blocking a certain street for filming, and so on, which all require government support.

In this case, political achievements are very important!

It's no wonder why artists, entertainment companies, program groups, etc. are so enthusiastic about public welfare. Of course, love is one thing, public image is one thing, and political achievements are also one thing.

So for Xiao Qing, he is actually very vacant in terms of political achievements at present.

And accepted the task of King Huangmei's "becoming an ancestor", Xiao Qing wants to dominate the idol field, in addition to "A Smile is Alluring", he also needs "You from the Stars" to be strategic, in addition, there is also a drama that is also essential, but some of the things involved in that drama are strong in politics and need the support of the government, so if you can make a good political achievement now, it is also excellent to lay the foundation for that drama.

"How about Director Xiao Qing?" Zhou Qing saw that Xiao Qing had been silent for a long time, and asked.

"When does the promo need to be completed?" Xiao Qing did not answer the rhetorical question.

"After the Chinese New Year." Zhou Qing replied.

"After the Spring Festival, "You from the Star" rushed to work, and it should be able to finish filming before the Spring Festival, and then go home for the New Year, and then come to shoot a promotional film for Jiangnan City after the New Year, and the time is just in time."

Thinking of this, Xiao nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I promise you to participate in the planned filming of the promotional film in Jiangnan City." ”

"Really?" Zhou Qing was overjoyed.

"Hmm!"

Xiao Qing nodded solemnly again.

"Okay, thanks, thanks!" Zhou Qing shook hands with Xiao Qing again and said, "Yes, we originally planned to come to the suburbs of Xicheng to shoot and collect style, but since Director Xiao Qing agreed to participate in the filming of the promotional film, then we will leave it to you." ”

"Rest assured, entrusted by others, loyal to people!" Xiao said lightly.

"Then I don't know what shooting ideas Director Xiao Qing has in his head now? How do you plan to show the cultural heritage of Gangnam City? Zhou Qing looked at Xiao Qing and asked.

Xiao thought about it for a while and said: "Jiangnan City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with a pleasant climate, fertile soil, and is the hometown of fish and rice in the world. ”

"Food, food..."

Zhou Qing muttered, and suddenly smiled: "The people take food as the sky, and Jiangnan is a place where food gathers, since ancient times, it has the reputation of 'Jiangnan is ripe, the world is full', starting from the food to show the cultural heritage of Jiangnan City, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" is worthy of being the champion director of the Youth Director Competition, hahaha, I will hand over the Jiangnan City promotional video to you, and I have a little confidence in my heart. ”

Xiao chuckled twice and did not answer.

"By the way, since we start from the food and show the cultural heritage of Jiangnan City, then Director Xiao Qing might as well give this promotional film a name! In this way, I can file the record, hand in the application in the evening, and strive to sign the contract with you tomorrow. ”

"Okay. You can find my assistant CoCo for contract matters! As for the name of the promotional video......"

Xiao Qing's eyes rolled twice, and said with a smile: "Since it is about the food culture of Jiangnan, it might as well be called "Jiangnan on the Tip of the Tongue"!" ”
