Just when Xu Zhen was studying the script of "Wen Liangzhu" without distraction every day, the Chinese film and television industry was surging because of this digital film festival.

For actors, it's just a small-budget movie;

But for major film and television companies, this is a huge opportunity.

To put it mildly, the entries of the film festival limit the subject matter, limit the cost, and limit the production time, suppressing all kinds of off-screen factors to a minimum.

To put it mildly, digital cinema replacing film film is a major trend in the future development, and whoever can come out on top in this contest will be one step ahead in the future, step by step, and will be able to seize the competitive advantage in the digital cinema market.

If it is said that the influence of a film and television company is about 5%, then the influence of the works participating in the digital film festival this time must be at least 15%.

This is the most important hand in the chess game.

Not only Dongyue Film and Television attaches great importance to this film festival, but even giants such as Huaying, Starlight, and Huanyu are unwilling to miss this opportunity.

In mid-June, the registration for the first digital film festival ended, and the number of works that finally passed the review and participated in the competition reached 144, which shocked the industry.

Of course, many of them are little-known grass platform teams, but at least more than one-third of them are powerful teams.

The competition is fierce, far beyond what was expected.

……

The crew of "Wen Liangzhu" didn't need many actors, and they quickly got together.

However, in terms of director candidates, Dongyue Film and Television has always been difficult to choose.

Of course, there is no shortage of directors in Dongyue, and Chu Xiaoxiong, the chief director of "The Peerless Double Pride", is one of the most famous martial arts drama directors in the industry.

The opportunity to shoot a digital film is rare, and if possible, Dongyue also wants to take the opportunity to train his team.

It's just that Director Chu has been making TV series in recent years, and he hasn't been in contact with movies for many years, so he is a little less confident in taking charge of such an important film.

When Lin Huimei handed him the final script of "Wen Liangzhu" in early June, she told him that the time was tight and that it was best to complete the pre-shooting within two months, and asked him if he had any problems.

Chu Xiaoxiong read the script for a long time, and said with an embarrassed face: "I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

Lin Huimei sighed regretfully and comforted: "If two months is too tight, then extend it a little more, is 70 days enough?" ”

"The cut-off time for submission to the review team is October 1st, so we have to set aside a month for post-production."

Chu Xiaoxiong shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I wanted to say ......"

He patted the thin script on his hand and said, "Just such a thing, can't you finish filming it in a week?" How can I shoot for two months? ”

Hayashi Huimei: "......"

Big brother, this is a movie!

You work so neatly, it's hard for me to do it, do you know how to cut it??

Of course, Chu Xiaoxiong also knew that it was wrong to do this.

He locked himself in a small dark room and worked very hard to draw the storyboard for several days, but how to draw and how he felt that he would definitely finish the shot in 10 days.

He couldn't help but wonder how those gods who tossed around for more than half a year did it? ?

……

On the other hand, Xu Zhen and Song Yu have been in the Dongyue headquarters every day recently, and they have been reading the first round of scripts under the leadership of screenwriter Shao Manling.

The time for this film festival is very tight, and Shao Manling's script didn't have time to polish it well, so she just followed the two leading actors to adjust various details such as lines and actions.

During the intermission, Song Yu found a missed call on his mobile phone, and when he looked at the number, he hurriedly ran outside the conference room to dial the other party.

It's just that because his voice is really penetrating, Xu Zhen sat in the room and still heard the content of his phone call clearly.

"Yes, yes, to tell you the truth, we Dongyue also participated."

"Yes, I am an artist in Dongyue, and the company is employing people, so I have to be on top."

"Hahaha, thanks to Director Zhao's love."

"I'm so sorry, I've promised our company, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you again in the future."

"Mmmm, thank you, I'll get back to you then."

After a while, Song Yu hung up the phone and returned to the conference room, and said proudly: "Hey, you said this is a trouble." ”

"It's only been a week, and three crews have contacted me and asked me to shoot digital movies with them."

"It's all good books.,If it's left on the usual day, I want to take it all.。 But there's no way, it's all the same schedule, so I can only endure the pain and cut love. ”

Xu Zhen nodded when he heard this.

Recently, he has also received a lot of invitations.

Director Du Qianshan, who had previously collaborated with "Blue Blood Sword", and director Deng Dayan, who had collaborated with "The First Sword in the World" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", all sent him invitations, all about this digital film festival.

Time is tight, there are many opponents, and everyone is in a hurry to form a game.

Now don't talk about actors, it's not even easy to rent props and costumes.

I heard that some small crews couldn't find a costume designer to make clothes for them, so they simply wrapped the cloth directly around the actors, and I have to say that they are all ruthless.

Dongyue has its own props company, but it doesn't involve this problem.

But there is still a shortage of good photographers, gaffers, makeup artists and other teams, and no one can be found anywhere.

For these invitations, Xu Zhen regretted that he had no chance to continue to cooperate with these two excellent directors;

On the other hand, they also feel a lot of pressure, and if they don't participate in their movies, then they are their own competitors, which are all strong enemies!

"Ah Zhen, your phone!"

As he was thinking like this, assistant Zhou Xiaoman knocked on the door and came to the conference room, holding up his mobile phone and saying, "Director Su Wenbin called!" ”

When Xu Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Su Wenbin, the director of "Night Rain Jianghu"?

Is he going to the festival too? Our company has added another strong enemy!

"Hey, Xiao Xu?"

Xu Zhen took the phone and only listened to Su Wenbin on the other end of the phone: "I heard that you Dongyue also participated in this digital film festival, have you participated?" ”

When Xu Zhen heard that it was indeed this question, he felt a little regretful and said, "Director Su, I participated." ”

Su Wenbin asked, "Are you the male protagonist?" ”

Xu Zhen said: "Yes, I am the male lead. ”

Su Wenbin smiled and said, "Excellent, excellent." Your company recently asked me if I was available to direct your digital film, and since you are the main character, that's it. ”

"The 23rd is in the group, right? See you next week! ”

Xu Zhen was stunned when he heard this.

Su Wenbin didn't come to dig my corner, but wanted to come in as a corner?

Couldn't have been more welcome, okay!

Su Wenbin's strength is obvious to all in the industry!

Xu Zhen looked happy and said, "Great, looking forward to cooperating with Director Su!" ”

The two of them hung up the phone separately.

Xu Zhengang wanted to share the news with Song Yu, but found that Shao Manling and Song Yu in the conference room were all looking at him with surprised eyes.

Song Yu said with a stunned face: "Hey, I said brother, you don't want to be a traitor, right?" ”

"No matter how powerful Su Wenbin is, you can't drop the chain at a critical moment! I didn't accept the invitation to the Beijing Cultural Center! ”

Xu Zhen was stunned for a long time, and then he realized that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's not me leaving, it's Director Su who plans to come." ”

"Director Su Wenbin, the director of "Night Rain Jianghu", have you heard of it? He's going to direct "Wen Liangzhu"! ”

As soon as Song Yu heard this, the various questions that had just come to his lips suddenly swallowed back.

Su Wenbin called Xu Zhen in advance before taking over the play and asked him if he was the male lead?

Could it be that he took this movie in front of him?

My own junior brother is so handy??
