Chapter 76: Winning the New Trump

At the meeting, everyone gossiped and laughed, which was very pleasant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Yi quickly became familiar with this military commander Wang Minde.

He knew how to get along with this kind of Chinese chauvinist, had a common topic, and naturally had a good conversation. Wang Minde also admired and praised Zhou Yi's "Serving the Country with Loyalty", no wonder he was willing to help in person. It seems that it is not only the relationship between Zhuo Qinglian and the military commander, nor is it just to complete his own work, Zhou Yi's song really aroused the itch of a Shahrist like Wang Minde.

With the strong support of these Chinese chauvinists, the possibility of Zhou Yi winning the award has increased a lot.

The power of these people should not be underestimated.

The network behind each of them is intricate, for example, behind Wang Minde, there is not only the military commander, but also the support of the martyrs.

When Gu Wanting's "Mom Loves Me Again" sank "Titanic", their full support was indispensable, and the strength can be imagined.

Zhou Yi will naturally pay special attention to it.

Zhuo Qinglian took the opportunity to introduce to Zhou Yi: "Mr. Wang is our expert in Southeast Asian studies and has a thorough understanding of Southeast Asian countries. It seems that Sister Zhuo also intends to help Zhou Yi make further introductions and enhance the relationship.

Wang Yude waved his hand and smiled: "What an expert! Don't dare to be! ”

Zhou Yi hugged his fists again and again to express his respect.

Just because you have a relationship with the top level of the military command does not mean that you don't need other relationships.

Wang Minde smiled and said, "Zhou Yi just rest assured. This movie has something to do with our military command, and it also involves the CIA, who dares to make trouble? The local community will receive the news, and it will be too late to maintain it. If something really happens, the community will definitely be bloodily cleansed. And I will follow the crew to the past, ensuring that I can have a smooth journey and return to Zhao completely. ”

Zhou Yi thanked: "It's really Mr. Lao Wang." ”

Wang Minde smiled: "It's a small thing. ”

With the military commander attached, the crew will naturally be fine. If something happens like this, can Yousheng still invest in building a film and television city there?

Besides, there is an army town there, what gang dares to disobey?

Of course Zhou Yi knew these things, but the crew must not have an accident, he just confirmed, hoping that Sister Zhuo could arrange it properly, and be prepared and foolproof. Of course Zhuo Qinglian will have arrangements, otherwise can he find Wang Minde? This is the first time that the crew has gone abroad to film since Zhengdong's acquisition, and it must be treated with caution. Filming is not child's play, and you must make all kinds of preparations in advance.

If you are not familiar with the local situation, how can you go to film casually!

While chatting, Wang Minde also confided in some information.

In fact, some of the local gangs in Zamboanga are deliberately kept in the country, and it is not easy to clean them? Who can stand up to the government? In Zamboanga, those gangs are controlled by local Chinese bigwigs behind the scenes, and they are all infiltrated by the Chinese intelligence department.

Zhou Yi knew these things.

He came out of the youth group of the military commander, so of course he will not be ignorant.

The intelligence services simply did not allow the gangs to get out of control. If they really want to get out of control, it's a dead end. It is precisely because of the absolute control of the intelligence services that the army will not completely purge them, otherwise they would have been washed long ago.

Wang Minde said: "As the old saying goes, when the water is clear, there are no fish. To some extent, they will play a role in maintaining social stability in the Philippines. If they are scattered and spread to society, it will be a factor of instability. If they are all arrested, will we keep them for nothing? Pulling them to do hard labor, or disposing of them all, is another humanitarian disaster, and some Western countries have said it. Now that it is a civilized society, we in China want to be a civilized example for countries all over the world and play a leading role. The 'evaporation order' in Western Australia cannot be repeated. Americans can't do anything anymore, everyone is the same. ”

Zhou Yi smiled, it is indeed so.

He watched the film "Evaporation Order" starring Huo Lao at Yanying's opening ceremony, and knew that in today's civilized society, the global political pattern has been determined, and this kind of thing cannot happen again.

Now that I am watching the Olympics and playing in the entertainment industry, it is impossible to engage in massacres, no matter whether they are red or white, they cannot be slaughtered casually.

Even the people in China really can't accept it!

Everyone is watching the handsome men and women on the screen, all of them are glass hearts.

Wang Minde continued: "But those natives understand what can be done and what cannot be done, and usually collect some protection money from the common people in their own country, open some bars and saunas, and set up a high-end Filipino maid training company. But they definitely don't dare to touch the Chinese, if they do, it's a dead end, they are not so bold, they have long been scared of being cleaned up, they are just arrogant to their own people, and they are all soft-footed shrimp when they come out. Sometimes the Filipino brothers call back and forth, and the Chinese bigwigs take it as a fun. You get the idea. ”

Everyone understands very well: killing and killing like this consumes all the thorns that like to make trouble, and the rest are obedient people.

Zhou Yile said: "That dare is good." ”

He felt that Zamboanga in this life was not much different from Hong Kong in the previous life.

A paradise for the rich, a prison cell for the poor, a parasitic bed for a dwarf mule.

That's probably how the British guys watched the excitement in their previous lives! Anyway, they are all dwarf mules, and they are cheap, and they can fight and kill at will.

If you really want to clean up, you can grab it at any time and clean it up.

Wang Minde said: "I'm not joking. Zamboanga is a tourist city, and the big guy above finally pulled Yousheng to invest in the construction of a film and television city in the past, and he also counted on more domestic crews to film and drive tourists to travel and consume, so that everyone can make money, how dare the crew have an accident! If something happens, it's a slap in the face. They have always been very strict with the subordinates, and there are ignorant little brothers, who have already chopped and fed the dogs, and the lives of the dwarf mules are not worth much. When the Chinese crew goes to film, they also have to help watch the scene, do protection, avoid harassment of the crew by idle people, etc., and sometimes play a group performance. Yousheng's film and television city is covered by two local associations, each covering half, not to collect protection money, but to help maintain order and convene group performances, which is similar to the group leader. Director Zhao and they went to filming, and if you need a large number of group performances, you can ask them for help. They have a lot of younger brothers in the community, and they are all dwarf mules, which are very cheap. ”

Zhou Yi smiled: "This is convenient." ”

Wang Minde said so much to reassure the senior management of the crew that it would definitely be fine, and it would be foolproof.

Director Zhao and others nodded their heads one after another, expressing their satisfaction.

When they go out to film, they don't have much experience, so it is really beneficial to know more, and they are prepared.

As for the professional aspect, the technical aspect, there is nothing to say, everyone is a professional.

Sometimes, experience is more important than expertise.

Wang Minde is not afraid to let Director Zhao know some things, they know the severity, and there is no place to say it if they want to, unless they don't want to die, not to mention that there are no real confidential things to say, they are all popular things.

Even if you look it up on the Internet, you can find all kinds of rumors and rumors, and you can't figure out what the truth is.

Do you think the gangsters behind the gang don't know that their subordinates are being infiltrated? Who wouldn't be clear? But what about knowing? Do you dare to move? In fact, they are all semi-public undercover agents, and you can only endure it and accept supervision and control.

Zhou Yi doesn't have to care so much, as long as he knows that the crew is really fine with filming, he can rest assured.

However, he also mentioned the issue of funding, is the upfront budget enough?

This time I went to Zamboanga to shoot the opening scene, and it definitely cost a lot of money.

This is simply higher than the style of the old work in the previous life, it is too tall, I hope Director Zhao can control it, he must fight for it, and don't collapse.

In terms of investment, Zhou Yi is not stingy, and it doesn't matter if you spend a little more.

The box office of "Rushing to the Sky" alone is enough to make a film.

In fact, Director Zhao has already made a budget plan, and he has not been idle during this time. Just doing the storyboard script and shooting budget made him tired, and it was really hard to be able to participate in the Yanying campus screening. It's not easy to direct.

Director Zhao also gave Zhou Yi a specific explanation.

In fact, the upfront funds can't spend much, it's nothing more than renting venues and shooting equipment, as well as recruiting group performers, spending a little more money, you can't always ship your own equipment by air or sea, you can rent it from Yousheng's film and television city, there will be discounts, and the price will not be too expensive.

It's just a title plot, it doesn't take long, and it's not always there.

As for round-trip air tickets and artificial accommodation, they are nothing at all, although they are not negligible, but they will not be much.

Director Zhao has made a budget, and the investment is completely sufficient, there is no need to increase the investment, and the pressure is not great.

However, Zhou Yi said that for the sake of the quality of the film, the production cost must not be too saving, the money that should be spent must be spent, and the best thing to do is to accumulate experience in the future. As long as he can make this mid-range strong film well, Zhou Yi definitely doesn't mind spending a little more money.

If it can be a box office hit, everything will be earned back.

Even if it can't be a big hit, as long as the cost can be recovered, there is not too much pressure, and there is really no need to save money.

In fact, Zhou Yi is looking forward to this movie after all.

If successful, in addition to action movies, Zhengdong has another signature genre film. There are still a lot of genre films in this realistic style in the previous life, and they can continue to be used. But all plans depend on the box office results this time.

At least the director must have the ability to shoot well before he can take it out!

Otherwise, a good film is a waste and worthless.

Director Zhao explained confidently at this time: "Boss, don't worry! I've been doing some rigorous calculations lately, and this film really won't cost much. Let's just spend a little more money on location, and when the crew comes back, it will definitely not cost much to shoot locally in Yanjing. Renting the Far Eastern International Trade Building, Miss Zhuo said that she didn't need money, she would close the street for filming, we had a background and a backstage, and it didn't cost much to shoot these exterior scenes in Yanjing City, but there were many group performances, so it might cost more, but it didn't cost too much. The indoor scenes are all filmed in the studio, and the cost of setting up this kind of background is not very large. Our drama is just a big scene that looks quite big and lively, but it's just a big scene, there are not many special effects shots, and there are no large-scale explosion scenes, car chase scenes and action scenes at all, how much can it cost? ”

In this way, Zhou Yi is more satisfied.

Director Zhao is used to making small-budget films, and it is a habit to save costs, and he will definitely not spend more money, which is a good thing.

Even if he shoots a mid-range strong film, it doesn't mean that he will waste costs at will, or his own director is more intimate.

If it is an external director, he will leave with one vote, what does it have to do with his grades, how can he care about these things.

Self-directed directors have to work for a long time, and they care more about net profit and results, and of course they will not waste money.

In this way, the preparatory meeting lasted for more than two hours, discussed all kinds of problems that needed to be solved, and arranged everything.

After the meeting ends, Zhou Yi and his sister are going to the crew to dub.

Tang Yan was already very tired of observing the meeting, and there was no topic she was interested in at all, so she seized the opportunity and muttered depressedly beside her: "No my play, no my play, no my play, no my play." ”

Zhou Yile said: "At a young age, do you still want to go abroad to film? Look at what you can. Give me the honesty to stay in the country. ”

Tang Yan banged her head on the table with a smile, and said depressedly: "My brother is too domineering." Can we still have a good conversation? ”

Shui Yuexun can come to China from Dongying to film, but she can't go abroad, why is the gap between people so big?

Seeing their brother and sister making a happy noise, Zhuo Qinglian wanted to laugh: their brother and sister have a really good relationship.
