Chapter 134: I'm a special forces
Seeing that it was almost time to arrive on the set, Wang Luodan, who was running out of breath, hurriedly shouted at Lin Yuquan's back: "Wait, I won't pinch you, you listen to me first." โ
"Say it!" Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes, among several girls, Wang Luodan was the only one he could joke, this was mainly due to Wang Luodan's character, if it was a joke, then Nizi would definitely blush, the most important thing was that he was afraid that she would really take it seriously, and Jiang Yan was too elf, and he was not moved by his jokes at all.
"Yuquan, Yiyi is currently receiving an invitation to sign a contract from Haiyu Film and Television, Kyoto Zhongshi Wonderful Film and Television and Huayi Brothers, she asked me to give her a reference, which of the two film and television companies do you think is more suitable?" Wang Luodan thought about it and told Lin Yuquan about this matter, so that he could reply to her.
"I said, can you not bother me with her? It's not that you don't know about my relationship with her now, it's best to avoid each other and live their own lives. But in the face of Wang Luodan's unblinking black eyes, he didn't continue, just spread his hands and said: "I know Hai Yan and Huayi brothers, but I don't know about Kyoto China Television Wonderful Film and Television, so it's not good to build her yรฌ, besides, isn't she looking for you?" Why are you asking me? โ
Although she was deflated, Wang Luodan didn't care, and said with a smile: "You are usually very smart, why don't you know this, because Yiyi knows that I will definitely come to you to ask, otherwise with her personality, how can she ask me, your opinion as a great director is very referential?" โ
"Don't make fun of my identity as a director at every turn, if I were her, first of all, I would exclude the Huayi brothers. Although in the turmoil of Wang Jinhua's exodus some time ago. The Huayi brothers suffered heavy losses. has lost a lot of first-line stars, but in terms of actresses, they still have Li Binbin and Fan Binbin, and they are also actively chasing Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun, not to mention whether Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun join, but just Shuangbin, she can't compete, and it is difficult to get a chance to stand out in Huayi Brothers. The remaining two companies. My first choice is Haiyu Film and Television, after all, Haiyu Film and Television's film and television production ability in the field of TV dramas is one of the best among the private film and television companies in China, and the operation of artist agency is quite mature, and she has become popular with many stars, although once she joins Hai Run, she will inevitably face competition with Sun Li, but although Sun Li is rising rapidly, she is not a first-line star, with her current fame, there is still a chance. It depends on her own thoughts, if she is confident in her own strength. It will be a good opportunity to choose Haiyu Film and Television, on the contrary, it should be good to go to Kyoto Zhongshi Wonderful Film and Television, although I have not heard of this company, but since it dares to sign Huang Shengyi, it must be an ambitious and powerful company, and the development prospects should also be good. Lin Yuquan said eloquently.
"Alright, I'll reply to her like that." Wang Luodan was in a good mood, and his feet also sped up a few points and walked to the set.
In fact, in her opinion, it is best for Huang Shengyi to join Shuguang Agency, but with her relationship with Lin Yuquan, this is destined to be impossible, so as not to be embarrassed, she didn't tell the two.
When Lin Yuquan entered the final stage of filming "I Am Special Forces", far away in a high-end commercial office building on Chaowai Street in Chaoyang, Kyoto, Dong Chengzheng, general manager of Xingmei Media, looked at the film schedule in front of him a little anxiously, which was the film schedule of several blockbusters in December.
Chen Kaige's "Wuji" on December 15, Zhang Yi's "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" on December 22, and Liu Zhenwei's "The Great Sage of Love" on December 22.
From this film schedule, it can be clearly seen that in early December and after the end of December, it is almost in a vacuum period, which is an excellent choice for the release of the film.
But at the moment, Dong Cheng's mood is very bad, seeing that the day of the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, his heart is becoming more and more restless, and he keeps scolding, damn Lin Yuquan, damn Shuguang Film Company, damn "Red Cliff", the National Day has passed, why hasn't their schedule been set yet.
It's not that he has nothing to do and cares about other people's schedules, it's not that he doesn't want to decide, he actually wants to settle down earlier than anyone else, but the key is that he doesn't dare to set it first!
Take a look at these competitors you are about to face, needless to say, "Wuji", Chen Kaige's ambitious work, with an investment of up to 300 million yuan, well, 300 million may not be available, but there is always one or two hundred million, how far away is such a blockbuster, hard to hit, "If Love" and the other party are not at the same level at all.
And Zhang Yi's "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" and Liu Zhenwei's "The Great Sage of Love" are also not soft persimmons that can be pinched as much as anyone wants, although the "If Love" made by his own company from the investment point of view, the investment of 70 million yuan is slightly less than that of "The Great Sage of Love", between "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" and "The Great Sage of Love", and it is not a loss in investment, but this traditional song and dance film directed by Chen Kexin has no chance of winning against the two. After all, Zhang Yi's domestic box office appeal is far from being comparable to Chen Kexin's, and the popularity of traditional song and dance films is much worse than that of comedy movies, so he will never touch them if he can not touch them.
In addition to these three movies that have set a schedule, the rest is to watch "Red Cliff", for "Red Cliff", the most watched movie of the year, he would rather knock "Wuji" to death than resolutely not touch it, no way, "Red Cliff" is too strong, so strong that he can't even have any competitive heart.
Although the young Lin Yuquan is only a newcomer in the directing industry, he is talented, and a series of events have always maintained a high degree of popularity, in a sense, he can be called the most high-profile director of the year, and even an acting celebrity.
Speaking of the cast, Chen Daoming, Chen Jianbing, Liu Ye, Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei, Donnie Yen, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, You Yong starring is already extremely luxurious, and the actors invited to make guest appearances are also star-studded, including Tong Dawei, Song Jia, Gao Yuanyuan and other shining stars.
In other aspects, whether it is investment, scene scale, or production team, it is not comparable to "If Love", in such a situation, how dare he argue with others.
So he can only wait, as long as "Red Cliff" is not scheduled for a day, "If Love" made by his own company will not be legalized, if it is set first. When the time comes, it will collide with "Red Cliff". Isn't it to die of weeping?
Dong Cheng stared at the schedule tightly. Judging from the current schedule, the first half of December should be the most ideal schedule, but according to the analysis of the marketing department, if Lin Yuquan's "Red Cliff" is released in time for the Chinese New Year, it will definitely be released during this time period, and once the schedule of "Red Cliff" is set during this time, for his company, the situation of the New Year file will undoubtedly become quite bad.
What he hopes most now is that Lin Yuquan doesn't think this time is the prime time for the Chinese New Year. Putting the schedule in late December, although there is little hope, he can only think so.
"Bang", the door of the office was pushed open, and a middle-aged man rushed in with a panicked look.
"Mr. Dong, no, the schedule of "Red Cliff" is scheduled to be released worldwide on December 1."
"What?" Dong Cheng was excited, and he used too much force in his hand, and immediately tore the film table in half, which was exactly what he was most afraid of. "Immediately notify the heads of all departments of the company to hold a meeting in the conference room. โ
"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded, and then walked out of the office quickly.
Dong Cheng stared intently at the film schedule in front of him, which had been torn in half. After thinking about it, he dialed the phone number with the landline on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Director Chen, I'm Dong Cheng, the situation is not good, "Red Cliff" has been scheduled to be released worldwide on December 1, and our original release schedule can only be adjusted again, at present, we have two options, one is to withdraw from this year's Lunar New Year file and postpone it to be released in April and May next year, and the other is to be released in the second half of the Lunar New Year file, and compete with "Thousands of Miles to Ride Alone" and "The Great Sage of Love" to compete for the box office, I personally prefer the latter, you think so too, well, December 28th, okay, I'll go to the meeting right away and call you back when it's finalized. โ
Hanging up the phone, Dong Cheng smiled helplessly, and then walked towards the conference room with resolute eyes.
The two-day filming time can be said to have passed in a flash, in a green mountain forest, "cut, finished", accompanied by Liu Meng's exhilarating shout, "I Am Special Forces", which lasted two and a half months of shooting, was finally successfully completed.
"Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!"
After cheering, everyone began to pack up their props, happily preparing for tomorrow's return.
Lin Yuquan's heart is of course not bad, in fact, for any director and actor, the completion of a film and television drama represents the end of a period of work, after several months of hard work, he finally has time to rest, he will naturally feel happy, and the filming of "I am a special soldier" also made him more aware of what he wants to do, for him, this is the most valuable harvest.
Glancing left and right, Lin Yuquan's eyes quickly locked on a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms, yes, real soldiers, not actors who played soldiers in camouflage uniforms. Although filming had already ended, they did not cheer or sit down to rest like the rest of the crew, but lined up in a neat and disciplined line, being lectured by a tall, dignified middle-aged man.
They are not ordinary soldiers, but a well-trained and brave special forces team, and the middle-aged man who is being trained is Colonel Fang Yan, the captain of this special forces.
"Colonel Fang, thank you very much, if it weren't for your cooperation during this time, our shooting would not have been completed so smoothly." After the lecture was finished, Lin Yuquan immediately walked over and held Fang Yan's hand tightly.
"Say thank you, it's our honor to be able to participate in such a TV series that shows the demeanor of our special forces, and it's our responsibility, speaking of which, it should be our thanks to you, although there have been film and television dramas involving special forces before, but none of them are as professional and attentive as the one you are filming now." Fang Yan said with feeling.
"This is also because of you supervising by the side, we have never dared to take it lightly, and can only strive to shoot more professionally and carefully, but even so, after all, the main body of the crew involved in the filming is the actors, so it is far from being comparable to you real special forces in terms of discipline and related skills." Lin Yuquan glanced at the special forces members behind Fang Yan with some regret.
"Haha, if you want to compare with us, do you think the blood and sweat we usually shed in hard training are in vain? Don't say that you only train for more than ten days, and it will be useless to train for another year or two. Fang Yan was very satisfied with his subordinates in his words, but after the effect, he looked at Lin Yuquan who had a calm face in front of him, and then looked at the subordinates behind him, and his expression couldn't help but be a little depressed: "Of course, you are an exception." If it weren't for knowing that you were a great director. Billionaire again. I really want to pull you to our special forces, but seriously, you have no interest in coming to our special forces brigade as an instructor, and with your ability, I promise to promote you to the same position as me in two or three years. โ
Hearing Fang Yan's conversation, the members of the special forces standing behind Fang Yan suddenly showed a shocked and inexplicable look on their faces, in today's increasingly perfect promotion mechanism, in just two or three years. Just want to sit from an ordinary person to the position of colonel, and the difficulty in the process is unimaginable.
Of course, no one will doubt the authenticity of what Fang Yan said, their captain has always been true to his word, since he has made a guarantee now, he will naturally help Lin Yuquan become a colonel in two or three years, and once he becomes a colonel, he can be regarded as a high authority at this level, and Lin Yuquan will only be twenty-four or five years old at that time.
Such treatment, if it is an ordinary person, he must be eager to agree to it, but do ordinary people have such treatment?
But Lin Yuquan would not have such an idea. He shook his head very dryly: "Thank you for your kindness, I declare." It's not that the army is bad, it's just that I have what I want to do, and I just know some poor kung fu, compared to the military, in the position of director, I can give full play to my personal ability, I'm really sorry. โ
You are still called poor fist and foot kung fu, the corners of Fang Yan's mouth twitched unconsciously, he remembered very clearly, the first time he dealt with Lin Yuquan was because he heard that there was a fierce man in the training base, not only his marksmanship was like a god, but also his training indicators were far beyond ordinary people.
It just so happened that a few people from the special forces brigade under his command went down, and the two sides ran into each other.
Several young men are all strong-blooded, I heard that Lin Yuquan is powerful, and a few people who are gearing up will inevitably compete with each other, and the strength of the special forces is naturally needless to say, but what is surprising is that in the competition, it ended in the defeat of several special forces, and it was a fiasco.
After a few wolf bรจi came back unbearable, out of curiosity and desire for good seedlings, he took the most elite sons and daughters of the special forces brigade to go, after meeting, only to know that the other party turned out to be a well-known director, the idea of digging people was in vain, but the competition still has to be carried out, and a director can not be allowed to sweep the face of the special forces brigade.
The result was once again beyond his expectations, shooting, cross-country weights, obstacles, push-ups and other regular military training, and all the elite soldiers and strong generals under his command were defeated.
His own character belongs to the category of competitiveness, and he is naturally not very willing to lose it, so he cheekily resorted to the grappling fighting that the special forces are best at in order to save face, but he never thought that the young director's ability in combat is even more outrageous, and several elites of the special forces have no power to parry under him.
It is precisely because of this that he wants to stay with the other party, but Lin Yuquan's answer fell into his expectations, indeed, it is true that the treatment of the army is good, but no matter how high it is, how can it compare to the influence and wealth that the other party has now, but it is really a pity, Lin Yuquan is definitely the person with the best fighting skills he has ever seen, but it is a pity that such a talent cannot join his special forces team, otherwise, his special forces team will have a veritable king of soldiers, and he may be able to overpower other special forces because of this.
"Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, reluctantly, the acquaintance between us is also a kind of fate, if you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Fang, hehe, I've always called Colonel Fang, and I've seen something outside." Fang Yan smiled heartily.
"Then I'm welcome, Brother Fang, in fact, I also think it's more comfortable to call you like this, in this case, don't call me Director Lin in the future, call me Lin Yuquan or Yuquan." Lin Yuquan had a smile on his face.
"Okay, Yuquan, if your company wants to shoot special forces-themed or military-type film and television dramas in the future, you can find us at any time, no matter how heavy the task is, it's no problem to draw a group of people or let other brother troops assist you in filming." Fang Yan patted his chest heartily, for things that can promote the demeanor of the army, the major military regions have always spared no effort, even if they do not cooperate with film and television companies, they will assign a certain amount of propaganda tasks within themselves every year.
"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you, by the way, our crew will have a shutdown dinner in the evening, and you and these brothers remember to attend on time when the time comes." Lin Yuquan instructed.
"It's necessary, I've wanted to drink with you for a long time, I'm not as good as you in martial arts, but when it comes to drinking, hehe, you're not my opponent anymore, but you're so good at fighting, the amount of alcohol shouldn't be bad, and we won't get drunk at night." Fang Yan laughed.
Lin Yuquan smiled meaningfully.
At this time, the crew had almost cleaned up, and after chatting with Fang Yan, Lin Yuquan found Wang Luodan, Zhu Yawen and others who were about to leave, and everyone went back to the hotel to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the restaurant where the dinner was held.
Unlike the previous "Huo Yuanjia" and "Red Cliff" dinners, this dinner is no longer barbecue and hot pot, and Lin Yuquan, who has been a little boring about the choice of each dinner, specially arranged for the staff to choose an authentic Sichuan-style Chinese restaurant.
Taking advantage of the fact that Fang Yan and the others had not yet come, Lin Yuquan hurriedly explained to the corresponding person in charge of the crew, which was bound to leave a deep impression on Fang Yan. (To be continued......)
