Chapter 226: Song MV Director
Listening to Cui Zhenlong's words, Jiang Jiongzhe frowned slightly, and his originally high interest quickly cooled down, he slowly raised his cup and took a sip of the fragrant latte, and quickly thought about what reason to use to politely refuse this invitation.
To be honest, he was reluctant to shoot the MV invitation, and felt that it was a bit inconsistent with his current "worth". It's like tasting the delicacies of the mountains and the sea once, and naturally disdainful of those radish pickles.
The current Jiang Jiongzhe is with such a mentality, in his opinion, the song MV is not much technical, and an ordinary rookie director in C.P Film and Television Company can do it well, so why do he need to do it himself? This is purely a knife for killing chickens, is it overkill.
However, just as Jiang Jiongzhe was about to open his mouth to shirk it, Cui Zhenlong's next words made him swallow back the words that were almost in his mouth.
"Director Jiang, I heard that C.P Film's film shooting plan for next year is ready to be approved, don't you plan to fight for it? En~~ Shoot the movie you want by yourself, I think it should feel good, right?! ”
Isn't that good?! Who doesn't want to make movies in the director's business? Although Jiang Jiungzhe is now a well-known TV series director, he has never had the luxury of becoming a film director in a short period of time, not because he doesn't want to, but because he doesn't have a chance!
What is the most important thing about making a real film?
Screenplay? Actor? NO… It's ample funding!
There is no script to buy, no actors to invite, but if there is no money, you can't do anything, how many talented directors who are full of ambition and talent are trapped in this?
"A penny is hard to beat a hero" is not a joke, money is a bastard, it's really hard to do without it!
Jiang Jiongzhe himself is a contracted director of C.P Film and Television, and it is easier to find investment than others, plus the company has set up a director training program, and arranges two or three real film investment projects every year for the company's novice directors to practice, so for him, the opportunity to direct a film independently is not impossible, but in this country where seniority is extremely strict, this kind of opportunity is not his turn for a while.
Now Cui Zhenlong mentioned this stubble to him in person, what does it mean? It's obviously the temptation of the red fruit! Needless to say, Jiang Jiongzhe naturally knows very well what the identity of the boy on the other side is, and his words may be more useful than those senior executives of C.P companies.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiongzhe's originally calm heart couldn't help but ripple, "Maybe this is really a great opportunity..."
On the other hand, Cui Zhenlong didn't plan to continue to go deeper on this topic, and there were some words that could be clicked on without being explained. However, seeing that the other party was still silent and silent, he was also a little anxious, so he changed his train of thought and continued: "Director Jiang, there may be some situations that I didn't make clear, which caused your misunderstanding. In fact, the MV that the company is planning to shoot this time is different from the past, it is not a simple rental studio, a simple set, and then the six members of the mythical group sing and dance a few times on the venue to finish, we plan to shoot a short film with a length of about 20 minutes. ”
"Oh?" Jiang Jiongzhe finally raised his head, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Yes, you heard it right, it's a short film! Except for the final film that cannot be officially released in the cinema, the rest of the aspects are based on the way of shooting regular movies, such as plots, locations, singing and dancing, etc., so ordinary MV directors can't control this type of work at all, and looking at the entire C.P film and television company, you are the most suitable candidate. ”
Cui Zhenlong is not exaggerating in this statement, in his mind, Jiang Jiongzhe is indeed the most suitable director for this short film in the current situation. Of course, this is not to say that there are no other better directors within C.P Film and Television, it's just that people like Kwak Jae-yong, Bong Joon-ho and others have already achieved fame and don't bother to participate in directing this kind of short film at all.
Even if Cui Zhenlong has a way to invite them over in person, the cost is too great, which is not only financial, but also human.
As for other rookie directors who are still struggling at the bottom, Cui Zhenlong looks down on others, so he looked at the past, and finally hit Jiang Jiongzhe with his idea. The other party is talented, capable, has directing experience, and is also famous, and also has great ambitions for the film industry, so he is not afraid that he will not take the bait if he is tempted a little.
Jiang Jiongzhe drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, and after hesitating for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, "Cui Zhenlongxi, is the script ready?" ”
He had already agreed to take over the job, otherwise he would not have asked such a question, and he would have turned around and walked away. However, he himself can see that today's invitation does not seem to have anything to do directly with the president of C.P.C&G, Li Meina, and all the decisions made by the big boy in front of him are private.
Jiang Jiongzhe once heard a rumor when he was in C.P Film and Television Company, saying that in order to exercise the ability of their underage son, the Cui couple handed over a huge company to him like child's play.
Seeing that the other party finally relented, Cui Zhenlong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied neatly: "The outline of the script has been completed, but Director Jiang needs to pay more attention to the details, and it will be passed to you along with the contract tomorrow!" ”
"What about the money for the shooting...??"
"You don't have to worry about this, the capital will definitely not be a problem, at least 1 billion won can still be easily taken out of the company" Cui Zhenlong smiled confidently, he really didn't worry too much about the problem of money, and the idle funds in his hands were also sufficient.
But on second thought, forget it! What if you meet a director who uses money without restraint? Don't say it's 1 billion at that time, even if it's several times more, you can spend it all.
Besides, this time it's just a 20-minute long film, and I don't plan to use any computer special effects or other money-burning things, the shooting equipment can also be borrowed from C.P Film and Television, and the actors are all from the company's own people.
After reaching a final agreement with Kang Hyung-cheol, C.P.C&G officially began to run at full capacity, and because it was the first time to independently produce a music album, the cooperation between various departments was not so pure, and it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes.
However, when it comes to the hardest and most tired person in the entire company, it has to be Comet Shen, who not only has to participate in the album production of the S group during this period of time, but also takes out valuable rest time to join the singing and dancing training of the new single of the mythical group, which seems to be extremely hard, and in less than a month, the whole person has lost a circle. The other members were also considerate of him, tried to shorten the practice time, and also applied to the agent to reduce the arrangement of other trips and give him more time to rest.
In this regard, Cui Zhenlong also agreed, he didn't want to see the soldiers under his command when they were about to go to the "battlefield", they first tired themselves down, causing such a funny oolong incident as non-combat attrition.
