Chapter 71: Ace Project Establishment

When filming on Saturday, to Zhou Yi's surprise, Gao Song and Zheng Zilong actually came to the crew to visit the class.

This is really rare, even if Zhou Yi is the boss, it is the first time to have this kind of treatment.

After you finished filming, were you in a panic?

Zhou Yi is indeed a little inexplicable: You two don't have a good rest for a few days, preparing for the post-dubbing of the movie, or engaging in publicity or something, what are you doing to come to the crew to see what I do? What do I have to look at? The crew visits the class, usually between boyfriend and girlfriend, we are all men, what class to visit? Be careful of being photographed by the paparazzi, what kind of gossip is coming out!

But is it really good to think so?

After eating and chatting at noon, Zhou Yi figured it out.

It turned out that Gao Song and Zheng Zilong got the news of the new film project, and the visit was fake, and they came to inquire about the situation.

There really are no absolute secrets in the company, so soon everyone knows about it.

Zhou Yi smiled helplessly: It would be nice if it could be kept secret like a military commander.

But that's obviously not possible.

Is it possible to set up a special confidentiality department in the company? As for it?

Gao Song explained with a smile: "Actually, no one knows, but we know, it is still Zhuo Gongzi who sued us, let us prepare in advance." ”

Zhou Yi couldn't help but open his mouth in astonishment: Zhuo Gongzi? You call Zhuo Qinglian that, does she know it? This simply amuses me. What the hell is Zhuo Gongzi?

You might as well call her "Qinglian Child".

Tang Yan next to her covered her mouth and smiled, and seemed to have a tendency to laugh.

Everyone chatted casually, and Zhou Yi finally understood the situation.

It turned out that Zhuo Qinglian found some professional books from negotiation experts, as well as relevant internal materials of the military command, and handed them to Gao Song and Zheng Zilong, so that they could read more books on this subject, ponder their acting skills, and prepare for the new film in the second half of the year. Although at the moment they want to do the promotion of "Rushing to the Sky Tower", which is the focus, some preparations for the new film must be done at ordinary times, and they can't be crammed at that time. It takes a lot of time to study these things, and it is impossible to get them done in a short period of time, so it is naturally good to study more often. If you want to be good at acting, you usually have to work harder.

Especially this time the role is very professional, Gao Song and Zheng Zilong have no professional training, so they naturally have to work harder, but they don't just study it before filming, just make up for it by themselves, so the effect of the performance is definitely not ideal. This kind of professional role that is in great need of acting skills, those little fresh meat can't be played at all, and strong acting will only collapse. is like the recent "Eight Hundred Scholars", if it weren't for the fact that it was very good in other aspects, relying on those young actors alone, it would definitely collapse. No matter how good Gao Song and Zheng Zilong's acting skills are, they must prepare carefully for this kind of role.

Gao Song and Zheng Zilong understood this truth, so they naturally began to prepare in advance.

However, now that the official script has not yet come out, they want to know some specific situations, so they can only ask Zhou Yi.

Both of them are pillars of the company, and Zhou Yi does not hide it from them, he can reveal one or two.

In the school cafeteria, after everyone finished lunch and found a secluded place, Zhou Yi and the two briefly talked about the main plot of the new film. Although the script has not yet been officially released, you can talk about the gist of the plot and know it in your heart.

Gao Song and Zheng Zilong listened carefully and were very interested, thinking that this kind of film really tests the acting skills of the actors, and it is a two-male film, which is very suitable for the two of them to act. They feel that this kind of role is very suitable for them, and they are very tempted.

Specifically, Romon the CIA, played by Takamatsu, is a senior negotiator who specializes in supporting overseas operations, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. Therefore, he directly kidnapped the director of the bureau, the secretary of the interior, and a number of important staff members in the CIA's administrative building, and acted as hostages, so as to seize the opportunity to negotiate and save himself.

Why a negotiator for overseas operations? China's domestic actions have never been negotiated, and naturally there is no need for negotiators.

Even in the police department, there is no such position as a negotiator, and it is generally held by business veterans, so there is no need to create a separate one.

Zhou Yi made this special setting in order to make the character more capable and have some reasonable explanations.

The character played by Gao Song seems to have a reckless and fiery temperament, but in fact he is meticulous, good at controlling people's hearts, has a strong professional negotiation skills, and acts very carefully and logically. Such a bold and careful, somewhat reckless character is very suitable for Takamatsu.

Zheng Zilong's military command negotiator Shi Bin has just returned from an overseas mission and has a happy family, but he suddenly encounters this incident and is forcibly asked for negotiation and dialogue by Luo Meng played by Gao Song. Domon didn't trust the CIA insiders, so he forced irrelevant military negotiators into the game and bet on Spynder. As a result, Shi Bin, a military unification negotiator, was urgently recruited by the CIA to carry out cross-departmental cooperation, and entered the game as a stranger, and had to skillfully maneuver with Luo Meng to stage a "ace to ace" negotiation show, which can be called the peak showdown of negotiators.

The character of Spin is witty, calm, calm and adaptable, not only can he go toe-to-toe with Luo Meng, skillfully maneuver, not falling behind, but also secretly cooperates to form a tacit understanding, both professional ethics and a sense of justice, which is also a very good role, very suitable for Zheng Zilong's handsome image.

If you compare the image of the original work in the previous life, it is also very suitable.

The character in the previous life was also the first male who was not handsome, he was more reckless and gangster, and he was a doer, while the second male was more handsome and was a rational expert.

Everyone is very satisfied with such a role arrangement.

This is the first mid-range strong film to be filmed after Zhengdong's acquisition, and it is likely to be a film that Takamatsu wants to hit the first-line position.

He will naturally attach great importance to it and make up his mind to perform well.

Gao Song and Zheng Zilong are very satisfied with the current situation of their own company, it is really rare to be able to shoot films continuously, and they are one after another, and they do not stop in the middle. There are so many good projects that not all companies can do.

Even some large companies in the industry are difficult to make films in such a continuous manner, let alone those small companies. Some small companies tend to get one project a year and just concentrate on one project, and the film may not be a big seller in the end.

Like the new castle signed by Lu Yifeng, he is still looking for a suitable project.

And the low-budget romance film "Sleepless Tonight", which Griffin Media just finished, has been released for no date so far, and is still looking for a suitable schedule. If the schedule is not suitable, it will be released in a hurry, hastily degraded, and annihilated by various blockbusters, and it will not make money at all, so it is good not to lose money. In such a tragic period now, they will definitely not risk death to release it, and they definitely do not have the confidence and domineering that Zhou Yi had to rush to release "Five Poisons".

The characteristics of romance movies cannot be compared with action movies, and their films do not have actresses, so they must not be sloppy.

Now Griffin and Zhengdong are cooperating in "Flower Season", which is actually their key TV series project this year.

It's not easy to get a project done.

There are too few people in the industry who are as confident as Zhou Yi.

In fact, whether the film project is good or not, based on the experience of Gao Song and Zheng Zilong's previous failures, I don't know at a glance, but listening to the plot, you can roughly understand. They feel that no matter what the cost of Zhou Yi's project is, it is indeed very stable, very reliable, and very suitable for actors, and it is difficult to lose money. Unlike those blockbuster projects made by Aurora before, it seems that the investment is large and attractive, but the plot is unstable at first glance, it is difficult to give people confidence, and the actors are not suitable, so it is difficult to sell well. Now that Zhengdong has Zhou Yi to do the film project, everyone is becoming more and more confident.

I really didn't expect that after Aurora was acquired, it was renamed Zhengdong, and it was really the rising sun, rising all the way, but it was not a simple second spring.

Staying in Zhengdong really has a great future, and it is worth fighting hard.

After an exchange at noon, Zhou Yi was going to continue filming, and Gao Song and Zheng Zilong would no longer bother him.

However, the two did agree to come to the crew next week to make cameo roles. It's not difficult. Although many judges of the competition have cameos from celebrities from all walks of life, Gao Song and Zheng Zilong can make cameos as on-the-field judges in the national arts competition, which is indeed suitable.

Director Wan learned of the situation and naturally agreed.

It's a good thing that a star comes to make a cameo, how can you not agree?

In fact, Griffin Media also has its own stars to play tricks, and when there is no drama, you have to be familiar with the audience. The little star of a small company, don't put on a score, pay attention to it so much. It's also a good thing to be able to show your face on a TV series.

Like the griffin boss Huang Yinda, he also wants to make a cameo role in serving tea and pouring water, and it is good to save some money.

If you don't have his share on the judges' seat, can't you help serve tea and pour water?

When the TV series was broadcast, who would have thought that the rather rich tea worker was Boss Griffin Huang? This is also a promotional selling point. In order to broadcast his own TV series, Boss Huang is also quite hard. They have half of the income, can they not do their best?

In the afternoon, the shooting went on as usual, and everyone's work was getting better and smoother.

filmed until late, and filmed a lot of evening scenes, and the crew called it a day.

During the chat, Director Wan reassured Zhou Yi that according to the current shooting schedule, before the end of this month, all the scenes in the TV series will definitely be completed, and it will not be a problem. And the quality of the TV series is really good, and the ratings will definitely be guaranteed, don't worry.

In fact, Zhou Yi is not worried at all, he followed the crew throughout the shooting, and I don't know what the quality of the TV series is.

Although I have been rushing to shoot, everyone's work is very meticulous, and there will be no rough and negligent parts of the plot.

Preparations have always been ahead of the curve and very thorough.

This is where the old director has rich experience, and he has a strong ability to control the scene, which is absolutely proper. If it is an inexperienced young director, if it takes another month to shoot in a mess, it may not be able to do it. Directing is a job that requires a lot of experience, and it's not so easy to do.

After a night's rest, filming continued on Sunday, which continued uninterrupted, and the scene was rushed.

The actors all gave their best performances and did their best.

In fact, many actors want to rely on this TV series to become famous, of course, they must seize the opportunity and go all out. Not to mention Qiu Cao, such as Liang Jiaren and Chen Minhao, as well as Chen Yingying, they all want to take the opportunity to come out, of course, they are extremely attentive. Of course, Lin Yan also wants to be famous.

Everyone works together and works hard in one place, and it is naturally easy to shoot brilliantly.

Zhou Yi often plays with everyone, they are all young people, and they feel very cool.

There are a lot of scenes in TV dramas, unlike movie scenes, where a few sets of shots are gone, which is not enjoyable. It is indeed easy to hone the acting skills of actors with many scenes, which is a good thing, Zhou Yi can get more adequate training and accumulate filming experience.

It's August 9th now, and it is estimated that the first cut of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" must have been completed, but Zhou Yi didn't have time to watch it, and he would wait for Director Zhao to finish the fine editing. If it's time to do post-dubbing, you can only use the evening time, which doesn't matter.

The assistant Xi Wei sometimes knows some of the work over there, and it is said that the work there is very smooth.

All kinds of soundtracks are about to be completed, and Mr. Su Jian and the Dynasty Band seem to have done a wonderful job.

I heard that Director Zhao is very satisfied, and they have been accepted through guò.

Zhou Yi can only appreciate it later, hoping to reach the ideal level, at least not worse than the old work in his previous life, and must be exceeded. The soundtrack of the old work in the previous life is actually quite classic, I hope Su Lao and they can come up with better works and live up to the expectations of the crew.

In addition, the post-production of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" requires a lot of special effects, far more than the special effects shots of "Five Poison Gates".

In order to finish the post-production before the end of the month and catch up with the autumn release, Zhengdong Pictures temporarily recruited some special effects personnel from Chu Qingyi's Juneng Company, which can be regarded as outsourcing some business. There are special effects manpower and professional equipment over there, whether it is to come over to help, or to make special effects in their company, you can make the special effects faster.

Zhengdong has just started, it is still a second-tier small company, the special effects department does not have too many people, the strength is definitely there, but it is not too strong, some simple special effects can be completed independently, but those complex special effects with better effects, if you want to rush in the short term, you definitely need help.

It's worth the cost of this, and you can't do everything yourself.

If you want to raise a stronger special effects team, the company will spend too much, and it can't do that now, and it can't expand so fast.

In fact, spending money to make zuò special effects is just a trivial matter.

Even the company does not need to spend money now, there is a settlement cycle, and the settlement can be settled in the future, which will not increase the company's financial pressure. Otherwise, the box office of the theater chain needs a settlement cycle, and then the traditional settlement company in the industry is responsible for the statistical settlement, which will take at least half a year, and a slow year is normal. It takes more than a year for some investors to start from the release of the film and get the share in the end.

In the case that the box office account has not arrived, if the money is spent everywhere, the company's financial pressure will be great.

In fact, the situation in this world is much better than in the previous life, the national conditions are different, the industry situation is different, and there is no domestic monopoly distribution company that directly comes to engage in the issuance of a commission and takes a large amount of money. Theater rental digital projection systems may give a cut to the relevant companies, but that has nothing to do with the production and distribution companies. There will be no copy commission and key commission, those patent fees have already been paid by the East, and the delivery fees of Lendlease have already been paid. After all the commissions in the previous life, it would be good if the producer could have more than 30% left, and the situation in this life is better.

All kinds of settlements are internal affairs of the industry, which belong to the official retreat and the people's advancement, and do not engage in official monopoly.

Even so, the traditional settlement company is responsible for monitoring the domestic box office, not doing charity, but also making money. Bank interest on settlement payments is a large amount of income. Of course, they need a settlement cycle, even if the settlement time is not so slow, but it will take a cycle to settle the money. Although there are now emerging settlement companies in the industry that can speed up the box office settlement, and even settle in batches, it also takes time.

In this way, the company has to maintain normal operation, in order to keep the capital chain unbroken, how can there be so much cash to reinvest in filming, and also to make a later stage and engage in all kinds of publicity? Isn't there a lot that can't be done? Of course not. Not to mention that the secret department of the military command will give loan support, when it is money laundering, and some money does not need to be paid immediately, it will naturally reduce the pressure.

Cinemas have a settlement cycle, and some of the funds for film production can naturally be deferred.

For example, the money for Chu Qingyi in the later stage can of course be deferred for settlement. There is also money from the construction party of the art project, which can be partially prepaid in advance, and the rest of the money can also be deferred. Another example is the actor's salary, which can be settled at the end of the year, which is very easy to do. Has Zhou Yi received the 500 yuan salary for "Five Poison Gates" so far? I'm afraid it's still lying in the company's account to earn interest!

Therefore, Zhengdong's current financial pressure is not large, and it is quite easy.

Coupled with some of the surrounding profits that have been recovered and the artist's advertising endorsement commission, the company's book funds have always been maintained at about 20 million, absolutely above the safety line, without any financial risks and financial pressure.

These things have always been controlled by Zhuo Qinglian, and Zhou Yi is very relieved.

At the moment, that's what happens on the company and the studio.

On the weekend night, the filming was almost over, and Zhuo Qinglian also sent Zhou Yi a good news. Recently, she has contacted the CIA about some things about the establishment of the new film, and the heads of relevant departments have reported it.

No matter how much competition there is between the two major intelligence systems, there will always be various cooperative relations and high-level relationships. It is said that a CIA boss has agreed to the filming plan of this film and will give appropriate support. In the eyes of the big guy, this is not a shady revelation, it is clearly a ****** intelligence film, a very good film, very creative. The big guy is very open-minded and easy to speak, of course, he also looks at Zhuo Qinglian's face.

If someone else wants to make this kind of film, it may not be so easy to get through the censorship.

Of course, after the script is officially completed, it is necessary to let the relevant departments of the CIA do the final review, so that it will be fine. In fact, the military command also needs to be reviewed. However, the military commanders have their own connections, so it is not a problem, and the main thing is to deal with the CIA.

Since there is no problem on the CIA's side, the film can be officially approved.

Receiving this good news, Zhou Yi was very happy.

This film is not only Zhengdong's first mid-range strong film, nor is it not only to bring Gao Song into the front line, but also Zhou Yi's test of the waters. He wants to get his film involved in the intelligence community, of course, step by step, and slowly get involved.

With the advantage of its own family, this type of film can make a lot of money in the future, and it can be regarded as Zhengdong's own land.

What a cool thing it is!
