"Haha, thank you boss, I'll do it when I get back! You see, in three days, we'll be able to figure out the framework of the script. ”

Zhang Benyu held his breath, their special editorial department is usually the most wasteful department in the company, and it is often reduced to the point of going to other departments to work part-time, mainly because most of the scripts are directly given by Zheng Xu The story synopsis, under the guidance of Zheng Xu, is filled in by the special screenwriting department, and at other times, their special screenwriting department does not play a major role.

Although there is usually no comparison in the company, Zhang Benyu wants to prove himself!

Zheng Xu nodded noncommittally, and looked at the others: "Okay, let's dismiss the meeting, let's focus on the publicity before the release of our new movie, and Lao Qin and Zhang Benyu will stay for a while." ”

He glanced at Wang Ou again and motioned for her to stay and listen.

Looking at the quiet conference room, Zheng Xu lit a cigarette and thought for a while before he spoke: "Who are you going to star in this script?" ”

Romance movies, a man and a woman can't run away.

"Uh... Didn't the boss want to praise newcomers recently, so he still used Chen Yao and Bai Kebei. ”

Zhang Benyu and Supreme Jade, Yi Xiaoxing, and Bai Ke are in a small circle, and they have a good relationship with each other.

Having your own screenwriter and actor department is this advantage, if the screenwriter uses a few actors as a blueprint to produce the script before making the script, it is a big advantage than waiting for the script to be made, and then taking the script and then selecting the actors!

This is already a custom script.

"Hmm... It's okay to use them, but I'll set a tone for you first, and find a way to add some roles, such as the village party secretary, I'm going to invite my uncle Mr. Zhao to make a cameo, and Mr. Zhang Jiayi, see if I can squeeze out a role for him. ”

Zhao Dongbei has been a little quiet recently, and Zheng Xu is ready to get him from Northeast China in the name of a cameo, scatter his mind, and play a cameo role.

As for Zhang Jiayi, this is one of the earliest stars to cooperate with Zheng Xu, and he is a very good person, when he first filmed the first TV series "Tomb Road", Mr. Zhang Jiayi was already a star at the peak of the second line, and people did not dislike Zheng Xu as a rookie director, and even the salary was not high.

Zheng Xu has always wanted to take Zhang Jiayi with him in the movie, so that he can go further, this is no problem acting in TV series, but at present, it is limited to TV series.

It's not that Zhang Jiayi can't make movies, but he went back to make TV series after filming movies, and he doesn't have the style of a movie coffee at all~

Another amazing thing is that Zhang Jiayi's movies are far less famous than the TV series he played.

The year before last, I followed Lao Jia to make a "Destined", has anyone noticed that Zhang Jiayi participated in this film?

Okay, let's not talk about it, Zheng Xu still knows one, Director Zhang's movie "Return" released in April and May last year, and Zhang Jiayi is also in this movie!

Has anyone noticed this?

Even Lao Mouzi's "Return" has not been paid much attention to.

Zhang Jiayi is no longer young, and if he doesn't take him, he really won't be able to take him.

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

"In addition, for the role of Chen Yao, I have a little request, to arrange her identity as a minority, whether it is Miao or Zhuang, you can study it and arrange it!"

Zhang Benyu blinked, boss, is this going to be politically correct? You can't do this in China, right?

"Boss, isn't this a bit of a superfluous move?"

"Hmph, when we have the ability, add these things, and add them without affecting the plot, which is conducive to unity, don't think so much about the rest, you don't want to think about what size our company is in China now?!"

"Okay, I see." Zhang Benyu took a pen and recorded the main points on the document.

"In addition, don't rely on the main theme movies of the past, the main theme movies I refer to are those domestic main theme movies or TV series in the past, let's not engage in their old routines."

It's not that Zheng Xu's butt is sitting crookedly, but in recent years, the homogenization of domestic main theme films, or the main theme film and television works, is too serious, not the homogenization of themes and events, but the serious homogenization of the core of the movie.

What is this old routine?

Black and white are clear, the pros and cons can be seen by the audience at a glance, most of the lines are changed according to historical events, and those who are extremely famous for historical events start with children and have been learned by everyone, and finally add a happy finale.

So much so that in recent years, although some of the main theme films have been made into films, they are very atmospheric at first glance, but even very young audiences will feel that after watching this kind of movie, the story is very dry, there is no heart, and the educational meaning is too strong.

If you continue to do it like this, it will be easy to get a negative effect, so that in the future, some movies will be slightly related to the main theme, and the audience will not be happy to go into the theater to watch it!

A few years ago, Korean producers wanted to break this pattern and finally sacrifice a star lineup, but what happened in the end?

can only be said to be average, it's okay to do it once in a while, but it's not okay to do it like this for a long time, although the box office is considerable, but how many star lineups are used to pile up the movie?

Is the audience going to see the story of the movie itself?

Or do you want to see your favorite stars?

Can anyone tell the difference?

This kind of problem can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and after a few films, even Korean producers can't handle it.

At present, the main theme movies in China have entered a low period, and we all know that making movies with this theme is not profitable, the most important thing is that the risk is too great, and it is too difficult to make a good film.

Zheng Xu was afraid that Zhang Benyu would make such a script, and in the end it would be nondescript.

It's not that the previous routines were not good, but at that time, there were relatively few cultural and entertainment lives in China, and the audience watched fewer movies.

"Don't be in a hurry lately, don't tell me anything about the script framework in three or five days, why are you in such a hurry? Let's learn some new routines, the previous main theme movies were mainly internal, but for a long time, the effect of this kind of film is very poor, can we learn from the old Americans? ”

"Some of the blockbusters they have made are also the main theme, but people can make the main theme out of the ability of popcorn films, so that the audience can watch it, since our film is taking the international route, we have to pick up the wool of the Americans!"

"Touch the Americans, touch the dock to cross the river, watch more of their war films, we also have to be saviors! We are the People's Liberation Army! The name of the unit alone has a big advantage! Right?! Why can't we be international heroes again? ”

"I don't want our script to be as commercial as those films in Hollywood, but at least you have to remember a few points for me!"

Zheng Xu nodded at the table, looked at Zhang Benyu and said: "Don't make too many bitter and hateful plots, emotional resonance doesn't have to be reflected in the way that we are actively injured by the enemy!" For example, can you arrange the character of Chen Yao as a villager who was kidnapped by the Vietnamese, and let our soldiers rescue him?! Battlefield love, simple, sincere, can this be a key refinement? ”

"In addition, the Vietnamese are a big breakthrough point, you just said that we are going to Cannes with this film to participate in the awards, but what is the essence of these award-winning films? Did you understand? The core is to be in line with the values of the host country! ”

"Our company used to mix at the Oscars, what was the essence of the movies we made? All in line with the core values of Americans! Because what we are filming is the story of the United States, this is the main premise, without this, even if there are more off-the-field factors, we will not win the Oscar! ”

"Now the Vietnam you chose has opened up a new way of thinking for me!"

Zheng Xu paused, took a sip of water, looked at the three people present, and stretched out his right hand to make a five.

"Of the five most powerful countries in the world, three have fought Vietnam, except for the British and Maozi, the other three have beaten them."

"Has anyone ever wondered why?"

"I don't want to hear any bullshit objective analysis, and don't give me any historical reasons, let's use psychology in this matter! Don't we have our own experts in our hearts, and they all pull me out to participate in the production of the script! Give me the guilt theory of the victims! Three of the strongest countries in the world have fought Vietnam, why is that? Quite simply, it's because the Vietnamese are bad! Take this logical idea to heart! Remember! ”

"With this logical concept as the basis, we are equivalent to having common values with Americans and French, and we want them to watch our film and have a sense of empathy, or rather, let them have a sense of substitution! You all learned it when you were in school, Vietnam is a French colony in modern times, and Vietnam has fought hard with the French a few times, so let's put aside the facts here and just talk about the inferior nature of the Vietnamese! ”

"Arrange your story in Vietnam, on the one hand, to show that our soldiers are kind-hearted, defend their homes and defend the country, brave and good at fighting, and on the other hand, to reflect the insidious cunning of the Vietnamese, contrast the two by two, let them bring out the greatness of our soldiers, with this tone as the mainstay, and then fill in the story, can it be done?"

Zhang Benyu opened his mouth, everyone was stupid.

Not only him, but even Lao Qin and Wang Ou, who were listening, were also a little confused.

Listen to what Zheng Xu said, put aside the facts.

You've even put the facts aside, so what's there to talk about? Isn't this back to the old business of Flashing Media?

Is it really made up? How familiar is this job with the screenwriting department, it can be said that Zheng Xu's words directly cut the difficulty of this script by half!

Lao Qin thought about it, and originally wanted to express his opinion, but after recalling Zheng Xu's words, and comparing them with his own thoughts in his heart, he found that his idea was too simple, so he was embarrassed to say it.

In Lao Qin's cognition, when the front-line troops withdrew, they didn't even leave a screw for the little monkey along the way.

But with Zheng Xu's temperament, he is extremely protective of his shortcomings, advocating the style of family ugliness that cannot be publicized, and whoever promotes him first will raise his ashes first.

Zheng Xu will definitely not shoot this thing, since he can't shoot it like this, he can only shoot some other things, this is not a tampering with history, at most, he actively ignores some inconsequential small details, and magnifies some other details a little more.

As the vice president of a film and television production company, Lao Qin knows a term, which is artistic reprocessing!

Art comes from life, and is higher than life, it is all about artistic creation, don't care about some small details!

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

"Old... Boss, this..."Zhang Benyu swallowed his saliva, he couldn't understand it, a romance film, led by the boss's ideas, how could it be internationalized?

You have to let the French and Americans have a sense of substitution when they see it?!

Non-mainstream main theme, plus war themes, plus romance films and internationalization, is this thing reliable?

"Huh? If you have any comments, just ask. Zheng Xu's gaze was very clear, so clear that Zhang Benyu, who was looking at him, swallowed all his opinions back into his stomach.

"It's gone, I'll go back and gather people first, study it, and I'll show it to you when I make it, I'll go first." Zhang Benyu quickly closed the folder, sandwiched it under his armpit and opened the door of the conference room.

Seeing Zhang Benyu walk out of the conference room in a bit of a panic, Zheng Xu set his eyes on Lao Qin again.

？？？

When Lao Qin saw this look, he thought that Zheng Xu would let him express his position, so he hurriedly said: "Dao'er, I have no opinion, you can do whatever you say." ”

"I didn't say that." Zheng Xu waved his hand.

"It will take a while for the special screenwriting department to produce the script, let's take one month to one and a half months as the benchmark, you are steady, let Vice President Wang introduce you to the relationship in Xiguang Province, let's do the preliminary preparations first."

"In addition..."Zheng Xu turned his head to look at Wang Ou and said: "You are fully responsible for this matter, which department you need to do, you will command, and if you encounter something that cannot be done, you will tell me again." ”

"Huh?" Wang Ou's slender finger pointed at himself and said, "I...?" You've been talking about it for so long, why did it all end up being my business? ”

"Hahaha!" Lao Qin reacted first, and said to Wang Ou with a smile: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Zheng is supporting you, you finally have a project that our company went to your hometown to shoot, and you won't come forward?" Who else can come? Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night. ”

Wang Ou was stunned for a moment, looked at Lao Qin with a smile, and then looked at Zheng Xu with an encouraging face, but he was a little embarrassed.

"Such a big matter, you are so relieved to leave it to me?"

Lao Qin was still about to persuade, Zheng Xu stretched out his hand to stop Lao Qin, who was about to speak, and said to Wang Ou: "Let you be responsible, you can rest assured to do it boldly, and I will take care of it for you if something happens." ”

This is her own woman, how can she have face? When she goes to her hometown to do a project, let her come forward and take full responsibility!

Isn't that better than buying her a bag?

How can there be such a thing as a bag that satisfies a woman's vanity?
