Zheng Xu turned around and returned to the office, sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette to think about what happened just now.

Jia Kezhang came a little strangely today, except for exchanging resources, he hasn't figured out anything else.

It stands to reason that this Ma Sichun should not lack resources, but whether it is Gu Changwei or Jia Kezhang, they both take the route of pure literary films.

If their movie is replaced by this Ma Sichun, it is estimated that with her acting skills, it will be enough.

And Zheng Xu is different, Zheng Xu not only makes literary films, he also makes TV series, although Zheng Xu's movies are popular, but everyone in the circle knows that Zheng Xu's movies only use their own people, that is, their own actors in their company, and do not use outsiders, but Zheng Xu's TV series is different, whether it is the earliest "Tomb Road" or the TV series "I Have a Date with a Zombie" filmed last year, they will more or less use some outside actors.

But the audition channel of Flashy Media is not the traditional release of news and waiting for the actor to come to audition, but the invitation system, that is to say, it doesn't matter, or an ordinary actor who doesn't have any acting skills, you don't even have the opportunity and way to audition.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't want to think about it if he couldn't figure it out, Zheng Xu sighed, he didn't want to use Lao Zhang's relationship to go to the three major European film festivals, and in the face of Jia Kezhang's almost explicit statement today, he would not waver, this is not a question of hypocrisy or not.

This is the same as the principle of taking other people's hands short and eating other people's soft mouths, some things, some things, as long as they are done, the nature will change, and he can go to the three major European film festivals by his own means.

......................

Pressing the cigarette butt, Zheng Xu, who was not interested, changed his position, lay on the desk, took out some irrelevant documents and began to check.

Although the cooperation negotiations between Yixing Short Video and Penguin have come to a standstill, the pace on their side has not stopped.

With the experience of the American market in the past few months, next month, that is, in June, Yishan short video will officially enter the European market, as long as these two places are opened, the foundation of Yishan short video is completely laid.

The rest is left to the effect over a long period of time.

Now that filming film and television dramas and a flash of short videos has involved a lot of Zheng Xu's experience, plus he has to deal with the company's affairs and the affairs between his allies, so many affairs have begun to make Zheng Xu feel a little overwhelmed.

This is not a question of whether to invite professional management personnel, these affairs can not be done step by step, some plans have to be coordinated and commanded by him, if there is really a professional manager who can manage these things, then this will definitely not be reduced to come out to work for people, and he has already started his own business if he has this ability.

The temples were slowly massaged by a pair of small hands, Zheng Xu leaned back, Wang Ou quietly didn't know when to come behind him, and helped him press his head to relax.

"I heard Xiao Kai say that Jia Kezhang is here? How did you talk so fast? ”

"Originally, it was nothing, he wanted to change some resources, but I refused."

Zheng Xu closed his eyes and muttered.

"Huh? Is it so straightforward? There was no imaginary rip-off, which made Wang Ou a little surprised.

"It's a planned thing, if you don't have it, you don't have it, and I still need to be polite with him? I don't know him well. ”

Zheng Xu said plainly.

Thinking about it, this is also the truth, rather than politely remarking, it is better to simply refuse.

"Okay, see you're a little irritable, rest for a while, I'll help you press it."

"Hmm."

........................

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Zheng Xu invited Jia Kezhang and Ma Sichun to have breakfast together, and after breakfast and preliminary preparations, it was almost ten o'clock before filming began.

In the studio, the so-called manufacturing center that has been built is the lair of a crazy scientist, who doesn't even have a specific name, only the title of Professor Wang.

Jia Kezhang hugged his shoulders and followed Zheng Xu to look at the old actors who were rehearsing and moving in the distance.

He has no impression of this actor at all, it stands to reason that he has no impression of young actors in the circle, it is good to say that there are new people joining in this industry every day, there are many new faces, and it is not strange that he doesn't know him.

But this kind of old guy is a very rare special actor, and he always has to be a little impressed, but looking at his face now, he really can't think of where Zheng Xu found this "old professor" who looks quite temperamental.

"Director Zheng, where did you find this old gentleman? I look at the face, this image doesn't look like it can't be mixed. ”

Jia Kezhang means that it's okay to see this old gentleman's acting skills, he has never heard of this kind of special actor in the current circle.

"Oh, this is a cameo, not an actor, it's a family member of our employees."

？？？

Jia Kezhang's doll face showed a very happy and confused expression.

"Employees' families?"

Zheng Xu didn't bother to answer Jia Kezhang's question, listened to the prepared reports of various departments on the walkie-talkie, and gestured to let the board play on the field.

walked to the monitor, took a small bench and handed it to Jia Kezhang, sat down and looked at the picture in the monitor, Zheng Xu opened his mouth and said to Jia Kezhang: "We are a film and television company, up and down are engaged in film and television, this old man used to be a teacher, retired, we rehired, and now we work in our agricultural company." ”

"His son is from the field department, his daughter-in-law is from the art department, his wife is also from an agricultural company, and the whole family is from our company.

Jia Kezhang blinked, a little confused, he had heard rumors from the outside world that Flashing Media is a professional large-scale film and television production company, and the employees are fixed, even if there is no work, Zheng Xu also supports them, but the specific composition of the staff, Jia Kezhang does not understand.

But this is the first time he has seen this kind of routine of employees' family members pulling out cameos.

Zheng Xu pointed at the staff around him and said, "What's so strange about this?" Look at our employees, one of them has deductive experience, not to mention more, they are more professional than the group performances in ordinary film and television cities. Some of them have cameo experience in several film and television dramas, you just pull out one, hand him the script, and you can act it. ”

？？？

Is that okay too?

What is Daipei? is a group of extremely good or special people in the group performance, occasionally the crew needs it, and they can also mix a role with lines, if they act well and are a little famous, they can mix normal supporting roles in the next step, which is the level of fifth- and sixth-tier actors.

As for some people who claim to be eighteenth-tier actors, that is pure nonsense, how can the entertainment industry be classified as an eighteenth-tier actor?

If it's subdivided into seven or eighth-tier actors, it's already a group performance level, and then it's gone!

Those who shoot wool films can't mix with the level of eighteenth-tier actors!

And now, what is the concept of the average level of fourth- and fifth-tier actors in the employees of Flashing Media?

Jia Kezhang was shocked!

Sure enough, people can't look good, I didn't know about it before, hearsay, I only know that Flashing Media is very professional, as a rare private professional film and television production company in Yanguo, all kinds of internal departments are complete, even the actors are normal to work, and it is very mysterious outside, now I look at it on the spot.

Good guy, it is really a typical example of working behind closed doors, if it is according to what Zheng Xu said, they will not even save the group performance, and they can rely on the people in their company to take the top.

"You guys..."Jia Kezhang couldn't think of any words to describe for a long time.

I can only give a thumbs up.

But Zheng Xu's crew, he is really envious, too worry-free, as far as he saw today, the preparation before filming, Zheng Xu stood next to him and did not move, and the groups below consciously knew what to do, what to take, how to arrange the lighting, and even Zheng Xu didn't have to worry about photography, Zheng Xu just had to stand and watch, nod when he was satisfied, and adjust if he was dissatisfied.

After finishing the walkie-talkie command and shooting, it's as simple as that!

It's like when he was making a movie, he was tired like a dead dog, not only had to personally go down to the scene to instruct the actors' acting skills, but also took into account his eyes and psychological state, and the lighting and lenses had to be adjusted over and over again.

Although Zheng Xu is now filming a TV series, Zheng Xu's TV series is comparable to ordinary TV series?

He's a variant and elongated version of the movie! Whether it's the storyline arrangement, or the clarity, the cast.

Who dares to use a lineup of four or five Oscar-level actors in a TV series?

Are you just willing to use it, can you afford this salary? is paid for the film, and actors with Oscar-level honors are willing to act?

He inquired clearly last night, and the budget for this drama alone is almost 80 million!

This is just a budget, I didn't count the publicity or anything, thinking about this budget, Jia Kezhang has a liver ache, this is too arrogant!

Like him making a movie, with a budget of tens of millions, he has to scrape together to find investment, although he has become famous over the years, the environment is good, and the funds are relatively easy to get, but after making movies over the years, Jia Kezhang really hasn't made much money.

Compared with Zheng Xu's net worth, he can't even compare with a fraction.

As for raising a crew like Zheng Xu, it is unthinkable.

This is something that has been confirmed by many elders in the circle, and there are currently directors in China who have the ability to raise a big team like Zheng Xu, and they can count all the leaders, and among the few people who want to raise such a big team, they have to smash the pot and sell iron to barely get enough of these manpower and scale.

As long as it is not a brain that is in water, no director in China will want Zheng Xu to raise such a big team.

It's too much money!

The risk is too great!

...................

"Director Zheng, are you borrowing this crew?" Jia Kezhang looked at these hands in front of him, and he was really envious.

Since he couldn't afford it, he wanted to probe Zheng Xu's style and ask them if they would take over the work.

It is said that everyone knows that Yanguo, a few great directors who are well-known to the audience, each has their own style and strengths.

Lao Zhang is good at shooting big scenes, although the stories of his films are generally not strong, but he has studied the lens language in depth.

And Director Chen, after a "Farewell My Concubine", don't talk about the rest, he is good at being unfathomable and unfathomable.

Director Feng, who is good at small scenes, is currently the first in China in the field of commercial films, and is indisputable, as for the lens language, uh... What lens language do commercial films need?

And the director Zheng in front of him, what he is good at is a little crooked, although he is also making literary films, but the content of the film is not deep, there is a certain depth, but most of the audience can understand it, and the lens language, occasionally there will be a little metaphor, but the expression is more obvious, combined with the main story line in the film, even if you can't understand it at the time, after watching the movie, you can flip through the movie reviews, and you can understand it later.

As for the rumors in the circle, what he is best at is not the movie itself, but the trick, which is not the same as when Zheng Xu first became famous.

At that time, it was said that he was satirizing Zheng Xu's professional ability, and he would only engage in some off-the-counter tricks and crooked ways.

But as he goes farther and farther, he eats all over the world, and always relies on such and such peripheral means to win honors, this is a manifestation of ability, which is completely recognized, you can't take him, and you can't learn it.

And when it comes to Jia Kezhang, to be honest, Jia Kezhang neither has Director Zhang's good camera language, nor Zheng Xu's good off-the-field means.

He is considered to be involved in everything, and he is not proficient in each one, and he seems to be omnipotent, but in fact, there is nothing outstanding about it.

The only outstanding thing is that the theme of the movie itself is profound, and sometimes it is so profound that the audience can't understand it, which can be regarded as a very representative literary film director.

What is a very representative literary film director?

The film just makes the audience can't understand it.

Now Jia Kezhang is thinking that if he takes advantage of Zheng Xu's lack of filmmaking, if the relationship is good, can he lend his team and use it for himself.

Isn't this a powerful combination?

Think about this prestigious professional Oscar-level team, if you can let yourself use it to make films, will you be able to go to the Oscars like Zheng Xu?

Don't wonder why director Yanguo seems to want to go to the Oscars, in addition to the Oscars being famous, there is also a very important point, that is, they are tired of the three major film festivals in Europe, and the awards they can win have all been won by their predecessors, there is nothing new anymore, and the Oscars, only Zheng Xu has made a breakthrough at present, this is differentiation!

Although Zheng Xu has won several different kinds of Oscars, although the scores of his films are not as good as those of some international directors, this does not prevent him from becoming famous internationally and domestically, because now there is a lone Oscar-level director in the inland region, which is much rarer than other directors of the three major European film festivals.

....................

"What? Director Jia has an idea? But... Our plan is relatively full, and in a short period of time, you probably won't need it. ”

This is not Zheng Xu's excuse, but now the team is really full of plans.

In the past, the model of Flashy Media was to follow Zheng Xu to make films, and after the filming of a film was completed, Zheng Xu took the various departments in the later stage to do the post-production of the film, and the shooting department was idle, and he could take some advertisements to support his family in Hukou.

Later, with the maturity of the assistant director team and Zheng Xu's intention to cultivate, Yi Xiaoxing also used his own team to shoot a low-cost comedy "Never Expected" last year.
